Chapter 227: The Marriage Escort Team Delivered to Qin? Li Wu Leads the Army to Invade Han Palace!
Hongliang puffed out her cheeks angrily, resembling a pufferfish puffing itself into a spiky ball in defense.
The person stopped beside her.
He neither spoke nor moved.
He seemed to be observing her.
Hongliangs body tensed, not daring to relax for a moment.
She nearly squeezed the red-scale king snake’s round head to the point of bursting!
Finally, the person moved.
He pinched the red veil on Hongliangs head and slowly lifted it.
Before he could fully lift it, Hongliang moved as well!
She quickly took the red-scale king snake from her sleeve and threw it at him!
In an instant, the red-scale king snake dashed toward the target like a red lightning bolt.
Her master had raised it for so long, waiting for this very day!
The red-scale king snake opened its bloody mouth.
Its two sharp, poisonous fangs glistened with a chilling light.
It had emerged as the sole survivor from countless red-scale snakes through brutal battles.
Its venom could seal the throat upon contact, and its intelligence far surpassed ordinary red-scale snakes.
One bite from it could cost even a master in the freestyle realm half his life!
The red-scale king snake aimed at the wrist and viciously bit down.
But suddenly!
The person’s wrist flicked lightly, and he accurately pinched its head with two fingers.
The red-scale king snake instantly went limp!
Oh no!
How could this human react so quickly?
Things are bad!
The mission failed, and this snake’s fate was doomed!
“Tsk tsk, I saved you from peril, and you repay me by setting a snake on me. Isn’t that a bit heartless?”
This playful tease sounded like a thunderclap in Hongliangs ears, leaving her stunned.
This voice, she wouldn’t forget; she wouldn’t mistake it.
In her mind, only the word “impossible” repeated endlessly!
With a swish!
The red veil was suddenly lifted off her head.
Hongliangs vision brightened abruptly.
A figure she never imagined, with a playful smile, appeared before her eyes.
“You… you…”
Hongliang widened her eyes in disbelief.
As soon as she opened her mouth, it felt like her heart was about to jump out.
“What’s wrong with me?”
Li Mo raised an eyebrow and casually threw the Scarlet Emperor Snake aside.
Teasingly, he said, “Just a month without seeing each other, and the princess doesn’t recognize me?”
Hongliang stared at him dazedly, unable to snap out of it for a long time.
Li Mo frowned and waved his hand in front of her eyes.
Muttering, “Could she be dumbfounded?”
Hongliang finally responded.
She grabbed his hand waving in front of her and bit down hard.
Li Mo was dumbfounded.
He quickly shouted, “Hey! Let go, are you a dog?”
After biting him, Hongliang let go and looked up at him, foolishly asking, “Does it hurt?”
Li Mo quickly withdrew his hand.
A perfectly round bite mark was imprinted on the back of his hand.
Shiny saliva still clung to it.
He made a sound of disgust and wiped it with the red veil.
Annoyed, he said, “What if I bit you? Would you see if it hurts?”
Hongliang blinked.
“Hurts? Then it means I’m not dreaming?”
If she wasn’t dreaming, then why was he here?
Li Mo froze for a moment.
He was amused by her frustration.
This silly and adorable behavior was just like her unreliable master!
Shouldn’t you bite yourself to see if it hurts?
Why bite me?
Before Li Mo could speak, Hongliang grew puzzled again, “I’m not dreaming, so how are you here?”
Then, as if she had thought of something.
Her expression changed dramatically, and she hurriedly pushed Li Mo away.
In a panic, she said, “You’re here to save me?”
“Are you crazy?”
“There are so many people here, it’s dangerous!”
“If they find you, you won’t be able to leave!”
“Go quickly, go quickly, before they notice, go!”
Li Mo was stunned, and his heart was suddenly touched.
Standing still like a tower.
His appearance was Hongliang’s only chance.
But her first thought wasn’t to have him take her away.
Instead, she worried that he would be in danger if discovered.
Unexpectedly, this usually carefree and willful princess had such a subconscious thought.
“There won’t be any danger.”
Li Mo instantly lost the desire to tease her.
He tightly grasped Hongliang’s small hands, which were trying to push him away.
Hongliang stared blankly at him, her shiny black eyes sparkling like stars in the night sky.
“What do you mean?”
Li Mo pursed his lips and softly said, “It’s very safe here, there’s no danger.”
“No one will dare do anything to you here.”
“No one can force you to marry or make you do anything you don’t want to.”
Hongliang still didn’t understand.
Staring at him, she asked, “Why?”
Li Mo’s mouth gently twitched, showing a soothing smile.
Hongliang’s heart instantly started pounding faster.
As if a little deer was bouncing around wildly inside.
Unconsciously, a warm hand caressed her cheek.
“Because this is Qin State.”
Li Mo said softly.
Suddenly, he felt sorry for this girl who couldn’t decide her own fate.
Born as a human but unable to control her destiny.
Then what is the meaning of life?
A gentle sentence fell on Hongliang’s heart like a thousand-pound hammer.
“This is… Qin State?”
She was bewildered and incredulous.
Wasn’t she sent to Zhao State for marriage by Bai Xianwu? How did she end up in Qin State?
Li Mo released her hand and led her outside.
Hongliang stared blankly at his towering figure.
At this moment, she suddenly felt that even if there were thousands of soldiers outside, she wouldn’t be afraid.
And in fact.
There really were thousands of soldiers outside!
Rows of soldiers filled with killing intent passed in front of her.
Rows of tents stood tall like mountains.
They were densely packed, stretching beyond the horizon.
“Are these the Qin army?”
Seeing the rattan armor on the soldiers and the flags fluttering in the wind, Hongliang finally realized.
“The borderland, the Qin Empire’s great camp. Two hundred thousand troops guard this place. Here, no one in the world can lay a finger on you.”
Li Mo spoke to her from the side.
Hongliang took a deep breath of cool air.
At this moment, she felt like she had been reborn.
Her shattered heart mended instantly!
She was truly saved!
Before she could speak, another familiar voice suddenly came from the side.
“Eh? Why did you guys finish so quickly?”
This charming, lazy voice was enough to make even a woman’s heart skip a beat.
“Master?”
Hongliang abruptly turned around, her eyes bursting with intense joy.
She took off in a sprint towards Yan Lingji.
“Master, is it really you? How did I end up here?”
She was increasingly puzzled.
How on earth did she end up in the Qin Empire camp? What was going on?
Yan Lingji ignored her, instead tilting her head and looking at Li Mo with a face full of disdain.
“What’s wrong with you?”
I’ve sent people into your tent, and you haven’t even taken off your clothes yet?
Li Mo’s face turned dark.
He walked over and flicked her forehead.
“Lippy?”
Yan Lingji yelped, covering her head.
When Hongliang saw Yan Lingji getting hit, she instantly transformed into a protective disciple.
Like a little mother hen, she shielded her behind her.
Lifting her chin high, she glared fiercely at Li Mo.
“Why are you hitting my master?”
Without saying a word, Li Mo raised his hand and rewarded her with a flick on the forehead too.
“Ungrateful.”
I save you from peril, and you remain unmoved, but if I touch your master, you want to fight to the death?
Doesn’t your conscience hurt?
Your master cries even more miserably at night than she did just now. Are you also going to help her deal with me?
Hongliang yelped and retracted her neck.
Covering her head, she grimaced in pain.
The master and disciple share the same temperament.
Both are fearless beings.
Now there is someone who can finally subdue them.
Hongliang rubbed her swelling head tearfully. When she looked up, she suddenly saw an unexpected figure.
Li Wu walked over briskly, and with a stunned expression, she raised her hand.
She respectfully saluted Li Mo, saying, “Master, everything has been taken care of.”
Li Mo nodded lightly. “Alright, then let’s move out.”
Hongliang was dumbfounded!
Pain and a frozen expression appeared on her face.
Staring blankly at Li Wu, her mind fell into chaos.
“What, what, what, what did you call him?”
Li Wu looked at Hongliang.
Curving her lips into a smile, she said, “Master, is there a problem?”
Hongliang shuffled back a few steps, as if she had seen something terrifying.
She was petrified.
“You, you, you, you can smile?”
This was truly frightening!
All along, she had never seen any expression on this general’s face…
Always wearing a stone cold expression.
Cold as an ice sculpture.
Hearing this, the smile on Li Wu’s face deepened with a hint of mockery.
“Is that so? Does this general need to cry like Princess in order to be acceptable?”
“Then the princess would be asking too much.”
“If I don’t have to leave, I won’t be as sad as the princess.”
Li Mo, who was listening from the side, was bewildered.
Interrupting Li Wu, he asked, “Leave whom?”
Li Wu glanced at Hongliang and was about to speak.
Hongliang jumped as if her tail had been stepped on.
She clamped her little hand over Li Wu’s mouth.
Blushing furiously, she said, “You must not say!”
Turning her head, she glared fiercely at Li Mo.
And warned, “You aren’t allowed to ask either!”
Li Mo shrugged.
Fine, I won’t ask.
I’ll just ask secretly at night.
What can you do?
“Let’s go, don’t waste time.”
He turned and signaled. Immediately, a soldier brought over a well-prepared carriage.
Li Mo was the first to leap onto it.
Flame Spirit Lady also followed, gnashing her teeth.
Hongliang asked cluelessly, “Where are we going?”
Li Wu removed her hand from her mouth.
With a sneer, she said, “Xinzheng, the Han Royal Palace!”
In the Han Royal Palace.
Night had fallen.
Lights were lit one after another, illuminating this palace on its way to the end.
The Emperor of Han was pacing nervously in his bedroom, dragging his fat body.
He didn’t know why, but he always felt uneasy.
It seemed like something major was about to happen.
By now, Hongliang should have already arrived in Zhao State.
Once she married there, Zhao State would send troops to support them.
Then the threat from Qin State would be easily resolved.
To ensure safety, he had specifically ordered the grand general to personally escort Princess Hongliang with three thousand elite troops.
Logically, there shouldn’t be any accidents!
But it was strange.
If there wouldn’t be any accidents, why did he still feel so perturbed?
He had been feeling like this since three days ago.
His hands and feet inexplicably sweating and his heart racing uncontrollably.
The Emperor of Han tried to calm himself down.
But the more he tried, the more he felt flustered.
He always felt that something major was about to happen, but he couldn’t figure out what it was.
After lingering alone in the bedroom for a long time, he decided to get a good night’s sleep first.
Maybe when he woke up the next day, the grand general would return with good news from Zhao State!
Yet, before his butt touched the bed, a eunuch stumbled in from outside.
Incoherently, he said, “Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it’s bad, it’s terribly bad!”
The Emperor of Han was furious. He sat at the edge of the bed, glaring and shouted, “What is it that has you so flustered? Has the sky fallen?”
The eunuch, sweating profusely, stammered, “Yo-yo-your Majesty, a few people from the group escorting the princess have returned, they said… they said…”
The Emperor of Han was shocked, “What did they say?”
The eunuch swallowed hard and said, “They said… the grand general took the princess… to Qin State!”
“What?”
The Emperor of Han abruptly stood up, feeling a sudden dizziness.
He fell back onto the bed with a thud.
“Qin State… Why would the grand general take Hongliang to Qin State?”
The Emperor of Han racked his brains but couldn’t understand the reason.
But his intuition told him that something major had gone wrong!
“Quick! Quick! Go summon Prime Minister Zhang, and gather all the high-ranking officials for a meeting!”
Since he couldn’t figure it out, he could only rely on those who could!
The eunuch stumbled out to relay the orders.
But before he could exit the bedroom, another figure tumbled in.
The Emperor of Han looked up and saw that it was the palace captain on duty tonight.
The captain, full of fear, didn’t wait for the Emperor to ask.
He fell to the ground, extremely terrified, and said, “Your Majesty, they have breached, they have breached!”
The Emperor of Han trembled violently!
He stared with wide eyes and questioned, “Who has breached?”
The captain pointed outside the palace, incoherent.
“They have breached… General Bai has breached… General Bai led her hundred thousand troops from the border and breached the palace!”
The Emperor of Han was struck as if by thunder!
His vision went black, and he fainted on the spot!
