The Garrison Defects, and the Commandery Princess Enters the City
Inside an old house.
Bai Yu'er pushed open the door and walked in.
The room was pitch black, and a foul odor wafted through the air.
She instinctively covered her mouth and nose, and took a few more steps.
She giggled and said, "Husband, why don't you light a lamp?"
"Didn't I tell you, don't bother me unless it's important?"
A sound like a broken gong rang out.
"My husband is incredibly insightful; Yu'er does indeed have something to discuss with you."
"Oh? Wasn't that just taken care of yesterday? My body can't take your constant demands."
There was a strange resistance in the voice of the Ancient Lamp Venerable.
"My lord, you misunderstand. It's not about that; it's about important matters concerning Desolate Wind City."
That brings us to this.
Only one light was turned on inside the room.
The wrinkled face of the Ancient Lamp Venerable was revealed.
He is very old.
Moreover, his lifespan is nearing its end.
Only by advancing to the Heavenly Martial Realm can one break through the lifespan limit.
However, his cultivation level was limited throughout his life.
It is almost impossible to break through the lifespan limit.
He was already on his deathbed.
Therefore, he will not take action unless absolutely necessary.
At most, he could only have sex with Bai Yu'er, which was already considered an extreme sport.
But Bai Yu'er sought him out today for important matters concerning Desolate Wind City.
He was interested to hear it.
"My husband, do you know Bai Qingluo?"
Bai Yu'er smiled and took the arm of the Ancient Lamp Venerable.
The latter pondered for a moment, then said, "I know, it's your very talented younger sister."
"It is she. She is now dissatisfied with the marriage arranged by her father and intends to overthrow his position. She may come back to fight, and she also has Martial Venerable expert by her side. This matter concerns the survival of Desolate Wind City, and also your position, my husband."
Ancient Lamp Venerable curled his lip and said, "Hmph! So what if you come back to fight? Your Desolate Wind City also has two Half-Step Martial Venerable experts guarding it, and even a genuine One-Star Martial Venerable. I don't think I need to take action."
He sensed that Ancient Lamp Venerable wanted to conserve his energy.
Bai Yu'er couldn't help but lean gently against his shoulder, suppressing her nausea as she breathed warm air into his ear and said, "But husband, don't you want to live longer?"
"What did you say?"
Upon hearing these words, Ancient Lamp Venerable was immediately no longer sleepy.
Bai Yu'er smiled and said, "My father once obtained a first-grade pill, which he treasured. This pill can prolong life. If my husband can help him defend Desolate Wind City this time, then Yu'er can naturally help my husband to ask for the medicine, right?"
Is this really true?
"Absolutely true."
Bai Yu'er said with great conviction.
"Very well! Then for the sake of our happiness as husband and wife, I, your husband, will help Bai Canglan defend the city once."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yu'er giggled and hugged the other person's head, pressing it against her chest.
Ancient Lamp Venerable was in a very good mood.
First-grade elixirs are extremely rare.
Most of them have been passed down from thousands of years ago.
If he can truly extend his lifespan with this elixir, then he will have more time to continue searching for ways to prolong his life.
This is for a person who is nearing the end of their life.
It is an irresistible temptation.
Therefore.
Ancient Lamp Venerable felt incredibly energetic today.
The lamp went out.
The two continued their extreme sports activities from the previous day in the room.
In front of Desolate Wind City.
A procession slowly approached.
Wei Heng was still leading the way.
However, the number of people in the team has been reduced by two-thirds compared to when they left.
Now only about twenty people remain.
Bai Qingluo was not sitting on the carriage at this moment.
Instead, he rode a fine horse.
He walked side by side with Chen Ning.
It's clear that her face has lost some of its gentleness and gained some sharpness.
On the Desolate Wind City, a guard looked down and, seeing the princess returning, immediately exclaimed with joy, "Quickly open the city gate! The princess is back!"
A soldier was just about to open the city gate.
Then a deep voice was heard.
"Do not open the city gates! The princess harbors rebellious intentions. Be on high alert immediately!"
The commander is a trusted confidant of Bai Canglan's faction.
He had received orders from the city lord that if the princess returned, he must not allow her to enter the city.
We must also inform the experts in the city immediately.
The garrison soldiers were taken aback upon hearing this.
What?
Is the county lord going to rebel?
They couldn't believe it.
They all looked towards the princess below the city.
"Why aren't you all taking up your weapons and fighting? She's no longer a princess; she's a rebel!"
The garrison commander shouted loudly.
Bai Qingluo, standing below the city, felt a chill in her heart as her eyes dimmed.
Is this the father she once relied on?
Before he even entered the city, they already considered him a rebel.
She was initially hesitant.
But now, she has completely given up.
Bai Qingluo's clear voice rang out, "Gentlemen, I, Bai Qingluo, will not hide anything from you. My purpose in entering the city this time is indeed to seize power. As for the reasons, we can discuss them later. I ask that you all lay down your weapons. I, Bai Qingluo, am only here for Bai Canglan!"
After saying those words...
The soldiers guarding the city wall immediately realized what was happening.
I never imagined that the princess would actually rebel!
This...
That's wonderful!
One by one, the eyes of the garrison soldiers lit up.
Those closest to the guard launched a brazen attack.
What are you doing?!
The commander was panicked, never expecting that his own men would attack him.
Are you going to rebel too?
The defending general retreated again and again.
But the guards around him, with perfect unspoken agreement, all turned their spears on him.
Then.
Do it at the same time.
Seeing this, Wei Heng knew that these soldiers were no match for the defending general.
He spurred his horse, leaped onto the city wall, and pierced the guard's heart with a single sword stroke.
After all, Wei Heng was also a powerful expert at the Earth Martial Realm First Layer.
He is a renowned expert in Desolate Wind City.
Killing a garrison commander is quite easy.
"Oh!!!"
"Oh!!!"
The defenders cheered.
They had waited too long for this day.
The princess finally rebelled.
Only the princess can give them a good life.
Bai Canglan, on the other hand, only exploits them and tramples on his people.
Just by looking at the decorations in Bai Canglan City Lord's mansion, one can tell how extravagant and wasteful he is.
"Open the city gates! Welcome the princess into the city!"
"Open the city gates! Welcome the princess into the city!"
Boom!
The city gates opened.
Bai Qingluo's eyes welled up with tears as she clasped her hands in a fist salute to the guards, saying, "I, Bai Qingluo, will not let you down."
After saying that.
He then rode his horse into the city.
As an observer, Chen Ning couldn't help but admire, saying, "I didn't realize you were so popular."
"Young Master Chen, you flatter me Qingluo was able to escape death only thanks to your help."
"It's alright, we're all on the same side now."
Chen Ning smiled.
A blush appeared on Bai Qingluo's pretty face.
Young Master Chen said that she was one of his own.
But then I felt a little disappointed.
It seems that the meaning of "one of us" is merely a superior-subordinate relationship.
It's not about feelings.
Bai Qingluo gently shook the reins, propelling the horse forward swiftly.
This is to distract myself from these wild thoughts.
How could she possibly be worthy of someone like Young Master Chen?
