Chapter 467 Give Birth to One

After a night of work.

At this moment, Xue Nu Ya Fei and Hua Ying San Mei can no longer continue.

Lying casually on the couch, her body was in a disorderly position in an extremely seductive posture.

Cheng Jiao got up and put on his clothes alone.

Last night, he accidentally overworked, which resulted in Sanmei's strength increasing a lot after practicing dual cultivation with him, but it was obviously reached saturation point.

The spiritual power he transferred into Dao Sanmei's body was enough for them to refine for several days.

Walking on the way out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cheng Jiao counted on his fingers and found that today was the last day to heal Nian Duan's soul.

Thinking of this, Cheng Jiao wondered whether he should try harder today to make Nian Duan fall in love with him completely.

Now Nian Duan already has his soul mark in his heart.

Even if he did nothing, Nian Duan would stay alone in the empty room for him for the rest of her life.

Such a beauty is on par with Zhao Ji and her queen, and is at the age when women are most charming and beautiful.

It would be such a pity to stay alone in an empty house for the rest of your life.

When Cheng Jiao passed by a rockery garden somewhere in the Xiangguo Mansion, Zhu Ying, who was anxiously talking to Huang Xie, stopped talking.

Cheng Jiao approached and said with a smile: "Master Xiangguo, are you going to court so early?"

Huang Xie calmed down for a moment. He decided to keep the news of the King of Chu’s death secret for as many days as possible.

He never expected that Li Huan would act so quickly. Didn't he say to wait for two more years and wait for the King of Chu to die naturally?
"There are many things to do today. It would be easier to handle official business if we go to court earlier. Where are you going, Lord Chang'an?"

"Let's go to the head of the medical family. She has excellent medical skills, so it's a good opportunity to ask her some questions."

Cheng Jiao made some excuses to Huang Xie and left.

Seeing Cheng Jiao leave, Zhu Ying could not help but continue to persuade him: "Sir, you must not easily enter the palace at this moment. Not long ago, I heard rumors that the queen's brother Li Yuan was recruiting retainers and suspected of training assassins.

Li Yuan has never had the opportunity to take charge of state affairs, one of the reasons being your Excellency. He does not care about military affairs but instead raises assassins. Now that the King of Chu has passed away, Li Yuan will definitely rush into the palace to seize power and kill you to silence you!"

Huang Xie listened patiently and sneered, "Zhu Ying, Zhu Ying, you still don't understand Li Yuan. He is a coward, how could he have such a vicious mind? Besides, he and I have always been good friends, why would it come to the point you said? Have you heard of the Qi people in Qi who worried about the sky falling to the ground? Don't worry about the sky falling anymore."

After saying this, Huang Xie left.

Now that the King of Chu has passed away, if he enters the palace late, he will inevitably give people a chance to criticize him. After thinking about it for decades, he will not make a mistake in this regard.

Seeing Huang Xie so stubborn, Zhu Ying gritted his teeth and decided that if two years passed, he would repay the favor and just leave.

but now……

Huang Xie looked at Zhu Ying who came with seven or eight of the most loyal and elite guards in the mansion, all of whom were second-rate masters, and shook his head helplessly.

He did not refuse directly. Zhu Ying had been giving him advice for many years and his strength was first-rate in the world. He was a rare man who was both civil and military.

He shouldn't be too harsh.

Cheng Jiao arrived at the posthouse shortly after dawn.

Duanmu Rong had just walked out of the inn, ready to wait for Cheng Jiao.

As soon as she saw Cheng Jiao, an expression of uncontrollable joy appeared on her pretty face.

Could it be that there is some kind of telepathic connection between her and Cheng Jiao?

"Hehe, Rong'er, so early?"

Duan Mu Rong said shyly, "Good morning, young master. The teacher is waiting for you in the room."

Cheng Jiao nodded slightly and entered the courtyard of the posthouse, just in time to see the Six-Fingered Black Knight tinkering with something around the Suzaku mechanism.

"Big man, are you busy?"

The six-fingered black warrior looked up and saw that it was Cheng Jiao. "Check on Suzaku. There's no rush."

Cheng Jiao's mind was moved: "Is the master planning to leave with Master Nian Duan?"

"Yes, the King of Chu is not very peaceful now, so it's better to leave early."

Cheng Jiao seemed to be thinking about something, and he and Duanmu Rong entered Nian Duan's room.

Nian Duan was in the house recuperating from his injuries. With the help of the soul-recovering pill given by Cheng Jiao, he was making rapid progress and his strength was also improved.

After using up these five soul-restoring pills, not only will the hidden injuries in the body left by the impact on the celestial being be healed, but the strength will also be brought to a higher level. It is possible that he will be able to open the bridge between heaven and earth and condense the celestial image that symbolizes the celestial being in his lifetime.

When Cheng Jiao came in, Nian Duan slowly stopped practicing, suppressed his feelings towards Cheng Jiao, and said to Duan Murong calmly, "Rong'er, you go out first."

Duanmu Rong nodded quietly, knowing that the young master needed to be undisturbed while he was healing his teacher, so she had to stay alone in the temple, watching the young master busying himself on the Suzaku mechanism.

Nian Duan calmed down, gently bowed to Cheng Jiao, and said slowly: "Master, thank you for your help."

Although the sentence is normal, the tone will sound a bit strange to anyone who hears it.

Cheng Jiao is of course no exception.

"Master Nian Duan is very polite. After today, your soul will be complete."

Nian Duan opened his mouth subconsciously and said: "You don't need to call me Master, just call me Nian Duan, or..."

"Well, sir, can we start?" Nian Duan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and almost let Cheng Jiao call her Nian'er. Her real name was Duanmu Nian, and Nian'er was what her mother often called her.

Cheng Jiao saw that Nian Duan was different and chuckled, "Of course you can."

Seeing Cheng Jiao's ambiguous smile, Nian Duan was slightly startled, and his heart was beating fast.

It seems like Cheng Jiao has some similar feelings towards her...why not give it a try?
She really couldn't stand thinking about Cheng Jiao day and night. Besides, Cheng Jiao was young, promising, handsome, and also a fairy, which made him extremely attractive to her.

The Palace of the King of Chu, inside the Ji Gate.

Huang Xie's face was extremely distorted as he looked at the hundreds of lightly-armored assassins surrounding him.

He didn't expect that Li Yuan would actually dare to ambush troops in the palace.

Zhu Ying's heart sank; he had really predicted it.

If there were only a hundred assassins of average strength, he had the confidence that he and a few second-rate fighters, along with Huang Xie, could fight their way out.

However, there are still dozens of crossbowmen armed with sophisticated bows and crossbows on the Thorn Gate, and I am afraid that life and death will be unpredictable today.

"Li Yuan, you dare to commit a crime in the palace, are you planning a rebellion?"

Huang Xie had fought in wars, destroyed the State of Lu, and presided over the alliance of the six states to attack Qin.

Don't be too scared when faced with such a situation.

There was a cruel smile on Li Yuan's handsome face.

"Old man, are you trying to stall for time and wait for the imperial guards to come? I'm not afraid to tell you that the imperial guards here have long been controlled by the queen. Even if there is a river of blood, no one will come to take a look."

Huang Xie thought to himself that this was not good. As expected, Li Huan was involved. He had long felt that this woman was extraordinary. She was not a good-for-nothing like Li Yuan, who only had clever tricks.

Zhu Ying had a resolute expression on his face, and he was not afraid even though he knew he would not survive the day.

"Master Xiangguo, we are doing our best to stop them, you run!"

Huang Xie waved his sleeves and said without hesitation: "I have led troops for many years. If I turn my back and run away in such a situation, I will die. I am afraid there are people waiting for me outside!"

Zhu Ying was silent. With his intelligence, how could he not know?

We can only take a gamble. Li Yuan is a fool and the queen has made a mistake.

……

The solemn and murderous atmosphere outside the Ji Gate did not affect Cheng Jiao and Nian Duan at all.

Entering Nian Duan's soul again, Cheng Jiao couldn't help but pay attention to Nian Duan's memory of last night. It didn't matter when he saw it, he almost burst out laughing.

Unexpectedly, Nian Duan dreamed about him and wanted to do that thing, but he found that he couldn't imagine how he could get in.

That kind of longing and urgency made Cheng Jiao aware of Nian Duan's desire for him.

After calming his mind, Cheng Jiao slowly repaired Nian Duan's soul.

Nian Duan missed him so much, if he didn't express his gratitude, wouldn't he be letting down the beautiful lady?

Inside the Thorn Gate, the situation was tense at this moment.

Huang Xie shouted in a low voice: "Zhu Ying, don't worry about my life or death. Capture the leader first. Only by capturing Li Yuan can we survive!"

Zhu Ying hesitated for a moment and had to nod vigorously.

I know that if I don’t fight now, I will die miserably on the spot.

Fortunately, there are no masters here. With his strength as a first-class master, if it were not for Huang Xie, he would have been able to escape.

Li Yuan, who was standing on the Thorn Gate, was horrified when he saw Zhu Ying running towards him at high speed.

"Quick! Take him! No! Kill him! Kill him for me!"

Li Yuan realized that he had made a fool of himself and screamed loudly to hide his panic.

Hundreds of arrows were shot at Zhu Ying, causing him to slow down drastically.

Looking at the city wall that was only two meters high, Zhu Ying quickly thought about how to climb up the Thorn Gate.

Seeing Zhu Ying was stopped, Li Yuan laughed loudly: "Let me see what you are capable of. You still want to assassinate me! Come on, whoever kills Huang Xie will get a thousand gold coins, and whoever cuts him once will get ten gold coins!"

Huang Xie's eyes were gloomy as he commanded eight guards to huddle together with their backs to the city wall.

Now we need to delay time desperately so that Zhu Ying will have a chance to capture Li Yuan.

As time passed little by little, after a cup of tea, only two guards beside Huang Xie were still struggling to hold on.

The rest of the guards were covered with arrow and knife wounds. Huang Xie held the sword he picked up and fought hard.

Zhu Ying's eyes were dim. In order to paralyze Li Yuan, he now had a feather sword stuck on his left shoulder and pretended to be exhausted.

He had already climbed the Thorn Gate, and he knew he only had one chance.

Li Yuan saw the staggering Zhu Ying and wanted to use him for his own benefit.

If he had a dozen tough guys like Zhu Ying, why would he be afraid of Cheng Jiao? Isn't he just a heaven-destroying man?
How many masters can you stop?
At this moment, there were only more than twenty crossbowmen around Li Yuan. Their crossbows had all been used up, and they were guarding Li Yuan with swords in hand.

A cold light flashed in Zhu Ying's eyes, and he suddenly accelerated, not hesitating to use a secret method that would damage his body.

He killed seven or eight crossbowmen in an instant and rushed in front of Li Yuan before he ran out of strength.

Li Yuan was almost scared to death. What the hell? So fast?

Zhu Ying put the sword on Li Yuan's neck and said hoarsely, "Tell them to stop!"

Li Yuan trembled and said, "Everyone... stop."

"Louder!" Zhu Ying roared.

"Stop it!" Li Yuan roared, fearing that Zhu Ying would accidentally chop off his head.

Huang Xie heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had Zhu Ying today, as well as the seven or eight loyal elite soldiers from the mansion that Zhu Ying brought with him. Each of them was a second-rate master, so they were able to withstand the siege.

The only two guards fell to the ground and gasped for breath after the assassins around them stopped, apparently exhausted.

Li Yuan felt the sharp edge of the sword on his neck and forced a smile, "I've already stopped. Do you want to..."

Before Li Yuan could finish his words, dozens of bows and crossbows shot at Huang Xie. Under the incredulous gazes of Huang Xie and Li Yuan, Huang Xie's body was filled with arrows and he died on the spot.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Ying's eyes were bloodshot.

"No! Your Excellency!"

After realizing that Huang Xie was dead, Zhu Ying looked at Li Yuan with red eyes.

Li Yuan shouted, "They are not my people! It is none of my business!"

He was really wronged. Those dozen or so armored guards were obviously from the palace. They didn't listen to him at all and only listened to his sister.

When she thought of the order her sister gave, Huang Xie must be killed no matter what.

Looking at the ruthless man in front of him who was emitting violence, Li Yuan was very upset. Isn't this a trap for his brother?
Zhu Ying forced himself to calm down. The Prime Minister was dead, and he needed to spread the news of the palace coup.

"Let them disperse!"

Li Yuan realized that Zhu Ying wanted to kidnap him and run away, and he was very scared.

If Zhu Ying left, he had no doubt that his sister would hand him over as a scapegoat.

Suddenly, Li Yuan discovered that Zhu Ying's breathing was disordered. Thinking that he had practiced for a while, he gritted his teeth.

"Okay! Everyone, disperse!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yuan rolled over. Zhu Ying was not careful enough to check and let Li Yuan slip away. His face turned black and he was ready to capture him again, but dozens of crossbow arrows attacked him and nailed him to the ground.

Zhu Ying took a breath, was shot in the thigh, and staggered to the ground.

Li Yuan was overjoyed and quickly crawled away from this ruthless man.

Zhu Ying laughed at himself, he didn't expect that he would die with this guy, what a sin!
With a flash of sword light, a long sword shot out from Zhu Ying's hand and pierced Li Yuan's neck directly, extremely fast, accurate and ruthless.

Li Yuan knelt down on the ground unwillingly, as if he was atoning for his sins to the heaven.

Before Zhu Ying could feel relieved, he was stabbed to death by a crossbowman who rushed over with a sword.

In order to prevent any accidents, Li Huan arrived late and just in time saw Li Yuan being killed, his face turning blue.

It’s not that he was angry about Li Yuan’s death, but at this juncture, with Huang Xie and Li Yuan dead, who should be given the power to support the country?

Are you from the Xiang clan?
Li Huan, feeling upset, left in a huff, wondering who could temporarily take over the person she was controlling.

Until he reached the main hall, Li Huan still couldn't think of a suitable candidate.

After a little hesitation, I had to slow down.

Let's support Xiong Han to take the throne first. With her ability, it wouldn't be a bad idea for her to rule the country from behind the scenes and imitate Empress Dowager Mi.

Thinking of Xiong Han, Li Huan chuckled. Huang Xie could finally die with his eyes closed.

On second thought, if she could have a child with Cheng Jiao, it seemed that she could also be supported to become the King of Chu.

Just use the name of posthumous child, who would care?

One was the child she was carrying to be the King of Chu, and the other was the son born to Huang Xie and his concubine. Of course, she favored her own child.

With this thought in mind, Li Huan no longer worried about the deaths of Huang Xie and Li Yuan. As long as she was there, she had the final say in the palace!

"Give the order to search the whole city for the doctors, but don't arrest them. Just let them know and leave the capital."

The maid nodded slightly and quietly went out with the queen's orders.

Li Huan tore off the white cloth on his body. It was only right to throw the dirty water on the medical family now, since they had just treated Xiong Yuan.

In this way, the Xiang family will be able to cope with it.

……

Inside the inn, Nian Duan's face flushed red as she looked at Cheng Jiao with blinking eyes. Uncontrollable impulses were constantly eroding her little remaining sanity.

Cheng Jiao didn't expect that the aftereffects of repairing Nian Duan's soul would be so serious that it could make a woman like Nian Duan become so infatuated with him as she is now.
