Military Advisor and Princess - Chapter 42
The woman immediately climbed off the bed, grabbed some clothes and helped the man put them on. She herself put on a thin gauze, which was practically the same as not wearing anything. Then she knelt by the bed and tried to steady her breathing as she said, "Yes, this is what Mo Jun said herself. And this jade pendant, Chi Yu took it from her while she was asleep. It should be from the person she was talking about." As she spoke, she handed over the jade pendant.
That's right, the woman was Yu'er, whom Saint Chi sent to Ao Jun's side, also known as Chi Yu, and the masked man was undoubtedly Saint Chi.
Saint Chi took the jade pendant, his expression changing (unseen by anyone), and he angrily exclaimed, "Yelü Ying! That person is actually Yelü Ying!"
"Yelü Ying? Master said this piece of jade belongs to Crown Prince Yelü?" Chi Yu asked in surprise. How could it be Yelü Ying? Aren't he and Master allies? They share both glory and ruin, so how could he possibly be allied with Mo Jun against Master?
Saint Chi snorted coldly, "Hmph, I would not mistake it. This jade pendant is Yelü Ying's personal item, and I have seen it with my own eyes."
"Aren't Yelü Ying and Mo Jun enemies? How come they're involved together?" Chi Yu asked in confusion.
"Mo Jun is right. As long as there is mutual benefit, even strangers can become friends, and enemies can also become friends. Yelü Ying and I originally formed an alliance for our own interests, and sooner or later we will become enemies for our own interests as well. I just didn't expect Yelü Ying to make a move against me so quickly." Sheng Chi said in a deep voice, and angrily slammed his palm on the table. The solid table immediately fell over, or rather, shattered into pieces.
How terrifying! Chi Yu knelt on the ground and shivered. Her master was always unpredictable, and if he was unhappy, she wouldn't even know how she died.
"Master, could it be... that Ouyang Jinxuan deliberately had Mo Jun spread this news to sow discord between you and Yelü Ying?" Chi Yu suddenly thought of this possibility and blurted it out without thinking. As soon as the words left her mouth, she regretted it. Her master was in a fit of anger, and saying this would only put her in the line of fire. However, this possibility was not impossible. It was certain that Mo Jun had fallen for her honey trap and was completely under her control. But with Ouyang Jinxuan's intelligence and keen insight, he might have already seen through something and therefore used Mo Jun to spread this news.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Sheng Chi waved his robe, and Chi Yu immediately flew up from the ground, crashing heavily into the headboard and spitting out a mouthful of blood. Before she could react, Sheng Chi walked over, half-squatting in front of her, and licked the blood from the corner of her mouth with his tongue. Chi Yu didn't dare to move and let Sheng Chi do as he pleased.
"Ah!..." Akagami cried out in pain as her chin was gripped tightly by Saint Akagami, the grip so heavy it felt like he was going to crush it.
"Remember, don't try to be clever when I'm angry," Saint Red said, his eyes flashing coldly.
"Yes, yes... Chiyu has overstepped her bounds, Chiyu... will never dare to do it again." Chiyu endured the pain, her face pale and her voice trembling.
"Hmph, I have considered that possibility you mentioned, but it's impossible," Saint Chi said definitively, then added sarcastically, "Do you know why I'm so sure? Haha..."
Who knows what you're thinking, you pervert? Chi Yu gritted her teeth in anger, but on the surface she said humbly, "Master is wise beyond measure. Chi Yu humbly requests your guidance."
Saint Chi laughed heartily with satisfaction, "Haha...because of you..."
"Because of the red jade..."
"Haha... I previously thought that Mo Jun was truly as formidable as the outside world claimed, but according to your description, she is nothing but a mediocre person. Such a person could not possibly understand such a profound Heavenly Stems and Eight Trigrams Formation, yet she was able to help the Longxuan army retreat safely. The only possibility is that someone taught her. Hmph, in order to persuade Yelü Ying to turn the Cangliao soldiers into Blood Souls, I briefly explained the general outline of this formation to Yelü Ying. Therefore, only he knows the location of the Gate of Life and Death and how to retreat from the Gate of Life..." Saint Chi said with a cruel and ruthless sneer, while tightening his grip even more.
Even though she was in excruciating pain, Chi Yu dared not utter a sound. She had to endure the pain and say admiringly, "Master is far-sighted, accomplished in both literature and martial arts, truly the greatest man of all time." In her heart, she added, "The greatest scoundrel of all time."
Saint Chi finally released Chi Yu, but didn't even glance at her, as if she didn't exist. He muttered to himself, "Yelü Ying, how could you be so stupid as to attack me at this time? Hmph, without my help, defeating Ouyang Jinxuan would be impossible! Ha... Could it really be because of Mo Jun? No wonder you always mention Mo Jun to me, always protecting her. So, hmph, the two of you are together. You're far from being able to defeat me! But since you're heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless. I was going to keep you for a few more days, but it seems you want to reincarnate sooner. As an ally, how can I not grant your wish! Haha..." He only spared Yelü Ying because the Blood Soul Heavenly Stem Eight Trigrams Formation still needed his help. Now that the formation was activated, and with the thousands of new Blood Souls, Yelü Ying was no longer of any use.
"Master wants to kill Yelü Ying?" Chi Yu asked in a trembling voice. Sheng Chi's laughter was too terrifying and too bloodthirsty.
"Hmph, killing him would be too easy on him. Wouldn't it be better to let him die at the hands of his beloved?" Saint Chi smiled sinisterly, his eyes flashing with cruel light.
"A beloved person?" Chi Yu couldn't help but wonder. Yelü Ying was known as the "Flame-Devouring Evil Lord," famous for his ruthlessness and heartlessness. Women were just tools to him. Could he really have a beloved person?
"You'd never guess who that person is! Haha... That person is your mission this time—the world's number one strategist, Young Master Mo Jun, and his enemy." Saint Chi laughed mockingly.
"What? Yelü Ying... he's fallen in love with..." Chi Yu suddenly looked up, so shocked that she couldn't even speak.
"That's right, the future emperor of the mighty Cangliao Kingdom has a homosexual tendency and has fallen in love with the strategist of the enemy country, hahaha... This is truly the biggest scandal in the Cangliao Kingdom! Hahaha... The number one strategist in the world and 'Devouring Flame Evil Lord' hahaha..." Sheng Chi laughed loudly as if he had thought of something very funny.
Chi Yu hadn't yet recovered from the news. It was possible that Ouyang Jinxuan and Mo Jun had developed feelings for each other after spending so much time together, but Yelü Ying and Mo Jun were enemies, how could this be...?
Saint Chi's sinister voice rang out again: "Go back to Mo Jun's side now, and report any disturbances, especially those related to Yelü Ying. On the night of extreme yin, no matter what method you use, lure Mo Jun into the formation. Then we can enjoy a wonderful battle, hahaha..." It seemed as if he could already see that scene, and Saint Chi was laughing so 'brightly'!
"Yes." This time, Chi Yu answered with such force and excitement! Because in just a few days, Mo Jun, whom she hated most, would die in excruciating pain, hahaha... How could this not be incredibly exciting! Hahaha...
In the dead of night, a figure silently slipped into the largest tent in the Longxuan Camp.
No sooner had the visitor entered than a gloomy voice rang out: "What brings you here so late at night?"
The visitor seemed to have expected this, and calmly walked to the table, took out a tinderbox, and instantly illuminated the pitch-black tent.
Jin Xuan stared blankly at the person in front of him, until the person turned around to face him. Even he, as calm as he was, was genuinely startled by the person: Why was she here?
The Strategist and the Princess: Chapter 40 - Luring the Snake Out of its Hole
In the dead of night, a figure silently slipped into the largest tent in the Longxuan Camp.
No sooner had the visitor entered than a deep, gloomy voice rang out: "What brings you here so late at night?"
The visitor seemed to have expected this, and calmly walked to the table, took out a tinderbox, and instantly illuminated the pitch-black tent.
Jin Xuan stared blankly at the person in front of him, until the person turned around to face him. Even he, as calm as he was, was genuinely startled by the person: Why was she here?
Seeing that Jinxuan was staring at her without any reaction, the person waved her hand in front of him a few times, which slowly brought the shocked Jinxuan back to his senses.
"Jun, it's you? What brings you here?" Jin Xuan stood up in surprise, grabbing Ao Jun's shoulders excitedly. They hadn't seen each other for several days, but it felt like an eternity to him. He missed her so much, it ached terribly. Since that night, Jun had been avoiding him, and he had intentionally avoided her as well. He never expected Jun to come to him tonight; how could he not be overjoyed! Could they go back to how things were before? As long as Jun wasn't so cold towards him, he could control himself and treat her as a friend, a confidante. He had come to terms with it; as long as Jun was by his side, that was enough. He couldn't bear the silence between them anymore, he couldn't bear the days without her.
"Jinxuan, what are you spacing out for!" Aojun was already confused by Jinxuan's sudden excitement, and now he seemed to be lost in thought, not responding even after she called him several times, so she had to raise her voice.
"Uh? It's nothing, cough..." Jin Xuan, finally regaining his composure, coughed lightly, embarrassed. Why did he always embarrass himself in front of Jun? It was so shameful!
"Are you really alright?" Ao Jun asked incredulously. Looking at him, did he really look alright?
"Really, nothing's wrong." Jin Xuan nodded emphatically. Seeing that Ao Jun still didn't believe him, he had no choice but to change the subject: "Jun, did you come to see me for something?" Jun came to see him late at night, and in this way, so there must be something important.
"Hmm, I'm thinking it would be better if the truth about the Blood Soul Heavenly Stem Eight Trigrams Formation were known to all the generals." Ao Jun sat down opposite Jin Xuan and said with a mysterious smile.
"You mean..." When it came to serious matters, Jin Xuan became the wise and insightful Prince Jin again, looking at Ao Jun while pondering the meaning of his words.
“Once the Blood Soul Heavenly Stems Eight Trigrams Formation is complete, it won’t just be the Longxuan Dynasty that suffers; the entire world will inevitably be affected, including the Cangliao Kingdom. I think, given Yelü Ying’s status, he wouldn’t help others destroy his own homeland!” Ao Jun said meaningfully. She believed that Yi Jinxuan was intelligent enough to understand what she was talking about.
As expected, Jin Xuan pondered for a moment and then gave a meaningful smile: "Of course, whatever you wish to do, I will absolutely support you." His lord truly deserved to be the number one strategist in the world, with extraordinary wisdom. He had always believed that his lord would definitely have a way to resolve the matter of the Blood Soul Heavenly Stem Eight Trigrams Formation.
"Thank you, Jinxuan," Aojun said with a genuine smile. Even though everyone misunderstood her, Jinxuan had always unconditionally believed in her and supported her, just like Xue. And she had previously avoided him because of her inexplicable emotions, which was truly inappropriate.
"Saying thank you, does that mean you don't consider me a friend anymore?" Jinxuan said, feigning anger. But his eyes were full of smiles. It was good that they could have such a tacit conversation again.
