It was raining cats and dogs.Although they were shaded by a lush Chinese tallow tree, Qiu Jinglan and Qiu Feng got wet through after they confronted each other in the yard for a short while.If at ordinary times, they wouldn't be in such a difficult position.But they both knew that they were facing the vigorous opponent of their lives at that moment. A small negligence could cost their lives. Of course they didn't have time to take shelter from the rain using their inner power."You have been busy running about in these two days. And you are exhausted trying to save Commandery Princess Ningyi. Challenging you to a duel at this moment brings me no honor to the victor!" Qiu Feng took out the long sword from behind slowly and said word by word, "But I'm not doing it for exchanging experience. I'm doing it for revenge... Come on!""Clash!"Through the window, Qiu Yelan could hear the swords banging noises wh

Ling Zui had been causing trouble for so many years and was born and raised in the capital, how could he be defeated by a Young Prince who just entered the capital? With a contemptuous wave of his hand, the guards behind him immediately offered the concealed weapons for the scuffle, such as lime powder, firecrackers, blowing arrows, and small crossbows. All stuff they could get at hand. Even some of them who took whatever they could fetch. They tore off their sleeves to wrap up the horse dung from the street and smash it into the crowd of Western Army soldiers.In terms of strength, Kuang Qingwu's men were definitely better than Ling Zui's. The problem was that although the street was quite abroad, Qiu Yelan's carriages, Ling Zui and his men and Kuang Qingwu and his men were standing on the street face to face, which blocked the street. The Western Army soldiers couldn’t gallop in such a street with so many people!The cavalry couldn't gallop. Meanwhile, th

Kuang Qingwu went out of the teahouse and was helped by his old servant to get in the carriage waiting outside.Before he got in, he couldn't help but be stunned. He controlled himself not to say the name that was on the tip of his tongue. It was after the carriage left the teahouse for a little while that he whispered, "Sorry for troubling you again, my teacher."The man in a green shirt who got in the carriage before he was a middle-aged scholar. He was elegant with three wisps of long whiskers on his jaws, and he looked particularly impressive.But he held a cavalier attitude towards Kuang Qingwu, Marquess Zhang's Young Prince, who even Jiang Yashuang dared not to kill. Since Kuang Qingwu got in the carriage, the man didn't even look at him. Instead, he was preoccupied with his chess in front of him. Even for now, he was still staring at it without raising his head, "I told you that I would teach you for a while for your breast-mother's sake

Qiu Yelan failed to stay in the Ruan Family, as Qiu Jinglan personally forced her to get in the carriage and sent her away.She felt depressed, rolled up the curtain of the carriage and looked back at the door of the Ruan Family. However, she saw Qiu Jinglan standing there in his ordinary coat and silver hairband. He was quietly watching her. The complexity and unhappiness in his eyes gave her an ominous feeling.Just when she was about to put down the curtain, she suddenly saw Jiang Yashuang, who had sent her over, coming from the side alley on his horse. He gave her a wink, and then followed her carriage with an indifferent look.Returning to Prince's Mansion of Xihe, Qiu Yelan didn't go to greet Qiu Mengmin and his wife as usual, but sent Su He for Princess Yang, "It's getting late, and I'm also tired. I'm afraid that if I greet her now, I may disturb her. Ask her if it's OK for me to go tomorrow?"Su He smiled and said, "Prince

Empress Jiang meant what she said. She spread the rumor about going to select a husband for Princess Changping the next day. She also claimed that Princess Changping was Empress Dowager Gu’s beloved one. She and Empress Dowager both didn’t want her to leave Jing City. So, they would only select from the porphyrogenites in Jing City. The empress had given much thought to this. How could Kuang Shihan who determined to hand over the Western Army to his son be okay with Kuang Qingwu staying in Jing City permanently?After hearing the news, Empress Dowager Gu gnashed her teeth with hatred. She instructed people in the Prince’s Mansion of Guangyang overnight, “Tell Deng Yi and his mother to come back as soon as possible! He should marry Commandery Princess Ningyi at once!”She also sent a eunuch to Prince’s Mansion of Xihe to deliver a message, “Keep a close look at Commandery Princess Ningyi in these few days. Once Deng Family comes to negotiate the marriage, se
