Безопасность - Глава 35
Tang Leyan reached out and touched her chin, tilting her head to examine Chu Gexing.
This world is truly terrifying.
Judging by appearance alone, this guy is clearly a woman.
Does he really have male characteristics?
My gaze shifted downwards.
The man, whose mood had just improved, suddenly turned his gaze, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately realized what the person staring at him with a lewd look was up to, and he couldn't help but get angry again.
※※※※※
After dressing up in her finest attire, Tang Leyan leaned against a pillar and masturbated countless times.
It should be nothing, right? I don't feel anything unusual in my body.
If one were to lose their innocence to this person without any explanation, it would truly be like snow falling in June.
But then again, we must be more careful next time.
But what did he mean by saying that you would come and beg me yourself?
Before I could even finish thinking, he kicked me without any politeness: "Aren't you going to hurry up and leave? Do you want to be late a second time?"
She glared at him resentfully: Why is it always like this? He dominated her on Tianmiao Peak, and he still did it after they came down the mountain.
Just wait, one day that Japanese prince will rise to power and deal with you...
Perhaps it was because his gaze was too arrogant...
"Don't dream in broad daylight." Chu Gexing glanced at her indifferently.
Tang Leyan immediately turned her gaze away.

Today is the day the envoy from Mingzhou goes to court to pay homage to the emperor.
In the magnificent Hall of Light, Han Haojun, the envoy from Mingzhou, spent half an hour eloquently explaining the "fact" that the northeastern territory belonged to the Kingdom of Mingzhou. However, the emperor simply dismissed the envoy's proposal with a single sentence: "Impossible."
The envoy from Mingzhou's expression changed drastically, and he spoke rudely.
The atmosphere in the imperial court became tense for a moment.
Just as the stalemate was at hand, a strange figure suddenly leaped down from the top of the Hall of Light, a white rainbow flashing in his hand, and thrust it straight at Emperor Shun on the throne.
At the critical moment, someone below the jade steps looked up.
Suddenly, a pale figure intervened, moving with the agility of a startled dragon, using a sword to counter a blade. The swords clashed, emitting a dazzling light.
Amidst the uproar of the assembled officials, the Grand Councilor's gaze was sharp as a knife, fixed on a figure amidst the battle between the two sides.
The dignified and magnificent hall instantly transformed into a small battlefield.
※※※※※
The history of Shundu on this day is recorded as follows:
The small state of Mingzhou harbored wolfish ambitions. Enraged by its refusal to cede territory, it sent assassins to kill Emperor Shun. Fortunately, a royal guard with a sword intervened in time and killed the assassins on the spot.
Afterwards, the Commander of the Nine Gates led 500 soldiers to surround the post station. More than 200 people from Mingzhou inside the post station were all killed without exception. From the time the envoy arrived in Shun to the bloodshed at the post station, a total of three days had passed, which is known in history as the "Three-Day Bloodbath".
Chapter Forty-Five: Good News
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful woman named Gongsun, whose sword dance moved all four directions.
The onlookers were as numerous as mountains, their faces filled with dejection; heaven and earth seemed to bow low for a long time.
Swift as Yi shooting down nine suns, graceful as emperors riding dragons in flight.
It comes like thunder, then subsides with fury; it departs like the calming light of a still river or sea.
In the Golden Palace of Shundu, the high-ranking officials of the Celestial Empire and the Emperor himself witnessed this grand duel of swords.
In an instant, it was truly "coming like thunder and gathering fury, ending like the calm light of the sea." This assassination, as fast as a storm, and the interception, as swift as lightning, were astonishingly fast. Amidst the death and bloodshed, the ministers and the king completely forgot that they should be worried about their own lives. They were all mesmerized, watching the person in the light blue guard uniform, who, like a swift and graceful dance, rendered the assassins from Mingzhou powerless to resist.
If General Chu Gexun were here, he would surely sigh: "You stinky fox, what are you showing off for?"
General Huwei was far away and naturally could not witness it, but the Nine Gates Admiral was very dedicated to recording everything for his younger brother. His peach blossom eyes were dazzling as he gazed at the sky.
Just as Tang Leyan effortlessly knocked the assassin down from the air, he stepped forward and quietly made his move.
The assassin didn't have to die.
Although he was quite skilled, he was no match for Tang Leyan.
She was absolutely confident that she could completely suppress this assassination attempt, which was so unequal in strength.
In fact, he only used five-tenths of his mind: three-tenths to deal with the enemy, two-tenths to show off, and in between, he observed the emperor's reaction. It was so pleasing to the eye.
Little did they know that this would anger the discerning people in the Golden Palace.
Just as she repelled him with a single move, a blue shadow flashed below the jade steps, and Chu Gexing, the Nine Gates Admiral, had already made his move.
With a flick of her arm, she swiftly reached out, and in an instant, the assassin realized he was no match for her. In his haste, he retreated, only to be met by Tang Leyan's sword, which she hadn't had time to retract. Blood splattered like peach blossoms.
Before his death, he reached out to the envoy from Mingzhou and said in a poignant voice, "I have failed in my duty." Then he breathed his last.
Tang Leyan landed angrily and glared at Chu Gexing.
No one could tell anything was wrong, but they couldn't fool her.
The internal energy he used just now was clearly meant to force the assassin into running into his sword.
It's a pity that there wasn't time to withdraw the sword.
Chu Gexing merely glanced at her casually, without trying to explain or conceal his fear.
He simply reached out, his slender fingers tracing a streak of blood across his cheek.
At this very moment, it truly feels like this day last year, in this very doorway, where faces and peach blossoms reflected each other's rosy hue.
The Golden Palace instantly calmed down.
Although the emperor remained calm and composed, displaying remarkable self-control, his expression naturally turned grim when he thought of being so blatantly disrespected and attacked by a small country.
Upon seeing this, the envoy from Mingzhou Kingdom also changed his expression drastically. Han Haojun's face became somewhat ferocious in his haste, as if he had never expected such a turn of events.
Chu Gexing flicked his sleeves, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, the people of Mingzhou are so audacious that their crimes are unforgivable. I beg Your Majesty to allow me to lead troops to eliminate these traitors!"
In an instant, Han Haojun staggered backward, almost falling to the ground. It was unknown whether he could still think to himself: Such a beauty is ruthless to this extent, which is rare in the world. She must have the excellent and noble bloodline of Mingzhou.

When Tang Leyan arrived at the post station with Chu Gexing, five hundred imperial guards immediately surrounded it.
Chu Gexing's eyebrows slanted towards her temples, her gaze sharpened, and she coldly uttered a single word from her cherry lips: "Kill!"
The imperial guards under his command immediately kicked open the gates of the post station, as if they were in an empty place.
Screams erupted from inside the inn.
Tang Leyan frowned and said sternly, "In a conflict between two countries, envoys should not be killed. Lord Chu, what are you doing? Tell your men to stop!"
Chu Gexing glanced at her sideways and said indifferently, "I know, the man surnamed Han is perfectly fine in the prison, he's not dead, so why are you in such a hurry?"
"I'm talking about these people!" Tang Leyan turned her head and saw an Imperial Guard raise his knife and slash, sending a head flying and blood splattering into the sky.
In her haste, she was about to stop him when Chu Gexing grabbed her arm firmly: "Don't move rashly."
"Lord Chu!" Tang Leyan shouted.
"When did you become so soft-hearted?" Chu Gexing narrowed his eyes. "The blood on these hands must be just as much as mine."
Tang Leyan's body trembled, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "Even so..."
He slowly began to speak: "These people rely on their military strength and frequently burn, kill, and plunder in my border areas. The Celestial Empire has tolerated them for a long time. If we don't give them a warning, they will only become more and more emboldened."
She lowered her voice: "But if that's the case, wouldn't Mingzhou have enough excuse to send troops against Shun?"
"What's there to be afraid of in sending troops?" Chu Gexing smiled slightly. "That's exactly what we need them to do."
The voice was eerily soft.
Tang Leyan stared at him, at his alluring yet delicate face, behind which lay the mournful wails of the dying people of Mingzhou. She trembled all over, at a loss for what to do.
"Leyan, instead of being sad here, why don't you go back and see how Xiaodi is doing?" Chu Gexing suddenly said again.
"You..." Tang Leyan clenched her fist, stared at him for a while, then violently shook off his hand, turned around without looking back, and disappeared into the long street.
Chu Gexing watched her retreating figure, a faint smile appearing on his face.
The street had been closed before we arrived.
A corpse lies lying at the entrance.
Blood spread and flowed, gushing down the steps until it reached him.
From his feet, it meanders like a bright red stream.

On the eighth day of the ninth month of the fourth year of the Chengjia era of the Shun Kingdom, the sun was low in the sky, and crows were cawing loudly. Iron cavalry broke through the deep night, and news of General Huwei's great victory in quelling the rebellion came from the northern border, and the people rejoiced.
A poem goes: When autumn comes on the ninth day of the ninth month, my flowers bloom and all others wither. The fragrance fills Chang'an, and the whole city is adorned with golden armor.

While staring blankly at the computer screen, I thought: Maybe I shouldn't update today.
Then I saw a message: "Why hasn't 'Red Beauty' updated yet? What should I do?"
I said very little
But I know all of this.
...
I think I will persevere. Thank you for being by my side.
Chapter Forty-Six: Little Di
Xiao Di is really in trouble.
Chu Gexing is the kind of person who either doesn't do something, or if he says something, it means he has definitely done it, and he's absolutely certain of it.
Tang Leyan ran back the way she came while fiercely blaming herself.
