Empress' Conquest

"Protector Bai!" Come quickly! "This is the evidence!" The palace maid expended a great amount of effort to slightly move the table, only to see a large hole appearing under the table, and the empty hall within the table was actually some dug out dirt!

"Is that so …" The white tiger's cold gaze seemed to have a deeper meaning as it flashed past Su Manhe's face. One could tell that the originally pale face was now even more like paper. Qiang'er, who was in her embrace, was somewhat anxious as if she felt her mother's uneasiness!

The White Tiger slowly walked in the direction pointed out by the palace maid, its heart heavy. If Li Ao Yu were to know of this matter, at least one of them would die, and at most, a pair of them would die! The current Li Ao Yu could not be compared to the past. If he was ruthless, he could do anything! It wouldn't be surprising if he killed his own son!

"Protector Bai!" Look! There is indeed such a big hole here! " The palace maid pursed her lips as she felt pleased with herself. She had wanted to change her job a long time ago! Running all the way to the cold palace, no one was willing to do so!

"Consort Xin …" "How do you explain that?" The White Tiger turned around and looked at Su Man He with its gloomy eyes. Out of the corner of its eyes, he shot a glance at the palace's daughter!

"This... I have nothing to do... So... "So …" With such ironclad evidence, no matter how much she tried, she could not conceal the fact that she wanted to escape. However, Su Man He still wanted to fight for her. It was just that she couldn't find a better reason with her poor words!

"Empress!" Don't explain! The truth was right in front of him! White bodyguard! We... "Ugh …" The palace maid was about to turn around when she felt a numbing sensation on the back of her neck. She fell to the ground, unconscious!

Su Man He was shocked and looked at the white tiger in disbelief. He hurriedly stood up and immediately knelt down with Qiang Er in his arms!

"White Tiger!" Please don't tell this to Li Aoyu! He will kill us both! I'm not afraid of death! I've done too many wrong things, and I can't be blamed for dying, but I've only just reached the full moon so how can I abandon him?! "He doesn't have a father anymore. If he doesn't even have me, how will he survive …" Su Man He's voice was filled with tears and she was crying so much that she was trembling. As she spoke, she was about to kowtow, but was stopped by the White Tiger!

"If I didn't want to hide this matter, why would I knock her out? Actually, I already knew about your excavation the last time! After that, I asked the palace maid to move a large table over to you, all I wanted was to be safer … Who would have thought that they would be discovered! Don't worry, I've asked this palace maid before. Other than her, no one else knows about this matter. How could the White Tiger accept such a great gift! " The White Tiger looked at the infant in Su Man He's arms with a pained expression. If something happened to Su Manhe, how was he going to survive?!

"White Tiger …" Su Manhe looked at the white tiger in disbelief, and her heart immediately softened. She had done many evil deeds, but she had never thought that she would meet a noble. Perhaps the heavens had allowed her to live on for the sake of her own child!

"Don't worry, I will deal with this palace maid myself. It's just that this tunnel …" You'd better be careful! If it wasn't for the fact that the Emperor was busy with national affairs, he would've found some clues as long as he entered the cold palace! " The White Tiger reminded!

"Life and death are intertwined. This time, I will bet on it. I won't do it for any other reason but for the sake of being strong enough to survive …" White Tiger. Thank You... Manhe has a request! " Su Man He was still kneeling on the ground, looking pleadingly at the White Tiger!

"As long as I can do it …" The White Tiger nodded slightly.

"If one day, Li Ao Yu wants to kill me …" I hope you can save my son's life! Manjo begs you! " Su Man He was about to kowtow again, but was lifted up by the White Tiger!

"Esteemed wangfei Xin …" The White Tiger cannot promise you anything, but the White Tiger can guarantee that within the limits of its abilities, your mother and your son will definitely be safe! This is the only thing the White Tiger can do to reply to the Empress! " Looking at the strong man in Su Man He's arms, the White Tiger sighed inwardly. But who could escape the will of heaven! Just like this infant, as soon as he was born, it was destined to be a tragedy …

"Thank you …" "Thank you …" Su Man He covered her face as she sobbed. The emotions in her heart were mixed. If she knew it would be like this, why did she have to do it this way …

According to the original plan, after Xia Hou Mingxuan had arrived at Su Ning and set up camp, he had started to let out smoke, beat the gong, and listen to the enemy.

On the third day after arriving in Su Ning, Xia Hou Mingxuan calculated that today would be the end of the day. If Li Ao Yu wanted to bring the reinforcements back to Salt Mountain, it would be useless, and it would be useless. It was precisely because of this that Xia Hou Mingxuan wanted to lead thirty thousand soldiers to retreat from Su Ning and return to Pingquan!

At the front of the battlefield, Xia Hou Mingxuan's eyes were like swords as he angrily glared at General Guan Ting on top of the city gates.

"General upstairs, listen up!" Today, I will take Su Ning! If you know what's good for you, quickly open the city gate and welcome us in! If he refused! "Don't blame me, Xia Hou Mingxuan, for not leaving anything alive!" Xia Hou Xuan shouted loudly, but a trace of suspicion flashed through his heart. Guan Ting didn't seem to be as flustered and helpless as yesterday. Instead, he was calm and collected. Did the military situation not change?

Thinking of this, Xia Hou Ming's heart went cold. He thought to himself that they would withdraw after half a minute! At this time, atop the city gate tower, Guan Ting yelled, "Xia Hou Ming Xuan! Your tone is not small at all! A foreign general wants to stand up for me! On what basis?! Thirty thousand soldiers under your command?! Thirty thousand, hahaha, do you know that! How many times stronger are the defenders of the city than you? Since you are interested in fighting today! Then I, Guan Ting, will accompany you to the end! I told you so! There's no need for you to attack the city! I'll open the gates myself! If you can break in, I'll take off my head and let you kick me like a ball! Soldiers! Open the gates wide! "Charge!" When Guan Ting said this, Xia Hou Ming was greatly shocked! At this moment, he could not understand why Guan Ting would use such a desperate tactic! Even if reinforcements arrived, this sort of fighting style was still a taboo for the military!

Without thinking too much, Xia Hou Ming Xuan saw that the situation was bad and immediately ordered the entire army to retreat! However, Guan Ting was already prepared. When Xia Hou had turned around, the city gate had already opened wide, and troops of the Great Shu Army were pouring out of the city gate in a steady stream. Their auras were massive!

"General!" What do we do now?! " The assistant general looked at Xia Hou Ming Xuan in horror! He had never expected that Guan Ting would use this move!

"What should I do …" Run! No matter how much he could run! Those with the rank of major general and above, leave it at the back! " Xia Hou Ming Xuan suddenly pulled the reins, turned the horse around, and charged back towards the Great Protector of the Shu Army that was rushing out like a torrential flood! If he blocked for more than a second, the number of soldiers that would be able to escape would increase! Thirty thousand soldiers! He definitely would not allow his soldiers to be completely wiped out!

Xia Hou Ming's actions had boosted the soldiers' momentum! In a short moment, the battlefield was dyed with the blood of swords and the rain of blood outside Su Ning City! The more they fought, the fiercer Xia Hou Ming's thirty thousand soldiers became. Their eyes were all red as they bravely took the lead! It was just that they were outnumbered after all. The situation was getting more and more dangerous for Xia Hou Ming Xuan!

As he watched the 30,000 Redbud soldiers he had brought with him dwindle as they fought, he felt a heartache. One of his victories was as if it would last forever, but because of a moment of carelessness, he had actually caused his men to die so unfairly! Damn him! He deserved to die a thousand deaths! Xia Hou Ming's blood began to boil as the sword in his hand cut through the air!

Time passed second by second. Even though Hou Mingxuan was invincible, after four hours of fighting, he was already exhausted. At this moment, on the tower, Guan Ting aimed his arrow at Xia Hou Mingxuan, and with a "sou" sound, the long arrow pierced into Xia Hou Mingxuan's back and pierced through his right chest!

"Ugh …" His eyes were bloodshot and he watched as his soldiers dwindled in number. Deep in his heart, he couldn't help but feel grief and indignation, but he didn't expect that after experiencing countless storms and waves, Xia Hou Mingxuan would fall from the sky! It seemed like he would not be able to escape his fate today. At this moment, the image of Yin Yuerong's gentle smile like a plum flower suddenly appeared before Xia Hou's eyes. It was a smile that said: "This life is over!" He was reunited! Moon... Sorry...

Xia Hou Ming felt that he had overused his strength, and now that there were so many enemies gathering in front of him, it seemed that he had no choice but to go all out! Since ancient times, generals did not look forward to extravagant food or good senses. All they wanted was a battlefield full of bloody battles and corpses! Today, he, Xia Hou Mingxuan, could finally ask for mercy. He had no regrets in this life!

Just as Xia Hou Ming Xuan was about to fight to the death, thick smoke suddenly billowed in the distance as loud shouts shook the earth. On the city gate tower, Guan Ting paled in fright as he immediately ordered his men to blow the horn and withdraw all their forces! He was shocked. Didn't they say that the reinforcement troops would arrive in half a day?! What a failure!

Seeing the Great Shu Army returning to the city, Xia Hou Ming Xuan's heart sank. That feeling of having survived a disaster filled his entire body. He originally wanted to see his savior clearly, but when he raised his eyes, he was stunned in one place!

Not too far away, a woman wearing a suit of armor and holding a long blade stood on the dusty battlefield, creating a beautiful scenery!

Moon...

Xia Hou Mingxuan unbelievably closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his exhausted face revealed a relieved smile. A moment of relaxation caused Xia Hou Mingxuan's body to uncontrollably sway, and then he unwillingly fell off his horse. The moment he landed, his smile was still mesmerizing, his sword fell to the ground, and Xia Hou Mingxuan's hand trembled slightly, as if he was about to grab onto something, but ultimately he was unconscious!

"Ming Xuan!" Seeing Xia Hou Ming falling from the sky, Yin Yuerong's heart suddenly trembled. When she reached Xia Hou Ming's side, before she could stand firmly, Yin Yuerong had already jumped down from her horse. However, the horse was very big, and when Yin Yueqian got on the horse, someone helped her, so she jumped down without caring about her safety.

Without caring about the pain in her feet, Yin Yuerong almost crawled to Xia Hou Xuan! She hugged Xia Hou Mingxuan, her eyes sparkling with pain!

"Ming Xuan …" Sorry. I'm late... Ming Xuan … Don't let anything happen to you... Don't let anything happen to him... Someone! Someone come quickly! Yin Yuerong screamed. She held Xia Hou tightly in her arms. Her heart felt as painful as if it was being tightened by thousands of strings, but she couldn't find the source of the pain!

In the next second, when Xia Hou Ming Xuan's soldiers that had rushed over, the entire army retreated five hundred miles. On the city gate tower, Guan Ting stared at the sky, and then slapped his thigh in regret! The sound of wind and rain was clearly softer than rain. Looking carefully, other than the seven to eight hundred cavalrymen, there was no other backup! Trapped! I've been tricked! It was just that he knew it too late! Yin Yuerong had already given the order to retreat. Any further pursuits would be taboo to the army!

Inside the tent, Yin Yuerong was pacing left and right with her hands clenched tightly in a flustered position. Her bright eyes swept towards Xia Hou Mingxuan on the bed. It had been two hours since he woke up!

"Doctor!" How is it!? Is his injury serious? " Seeing that the doctor had left his bed, Yin Yuerong hurried over to welcome him!

"Marshal, General Xia Hou is fine. The arrow on his back has been pulled out by me and his wound has been bandaged. He will be fine with the medicine I just made!"

"But …" But why isn't he awake yet? " Yin Yuerong looked worriedly at Xia Hou Xuan on the bed.

"General, you have overused your strength. You just fainted. You will be fine in two to three hours!" Marshal need not be too worried! " Yin Yuerong slightly nodded, signaling the doctor to step down and walked to the bedside …

Her face was pale, and her lips were pale. The light in Yin Yuerong's eyes flickered again as she thought back to the scene on the battlefield. She still had some lingering fear that if she had been even a second too late, she would never have had the chance to see him again! Ming Xuan … You have to wake up. If something happens to you, how can I endure it … Ming Xuan …

Yin Yuerong held Xia Hou Mingxuan's hand lightly. The tears in her eyes rolled down like beads with their strings cut. Her heart was filled with mixed feelings. Unknowingly, Yin Yuerong slowly lay down on the bed and slept quietly …
