"Impossible, impossible, impossible..."

Jie Li whispered in despair.

After a while, he suddenly jumped up from the ground, flicked the fine sand in his hands, and rushed forward stumbling.

Cheng Yi's expression remained unchanged, watching Jieli jump up, run forward in embarrassment, and finally fall to the ground fiercely.

"impossible!!!"

Xieli yelled frantically.

40 million!

A full 40 troops!

How could he be defeated by the Shence Army so easily!

He doesn't believe it! ! !

However, whether he believed it or not, what was happening in front of him was already a fact that couldn't be more true.

Although he fell to the ground in embarrassment, Jieli's red eyes were still staring at the battlefield ahead.

Amidst his powerless shouts, the already few remaining Turkic army was being defeated more and more quickly.

The corpses of Turkic soldiers lay one after another on the cold sand.

Most of the corpses have even become mutilated.

Cheng Yi stepped forward and pulled Jie Li up.

"I said that anyone who violates our Tang Dynasty will be killed without mercy," Cheng Yi leaned close to Jie Li's ear, and his low and cold voice slowly flowed into Jie Li's ear: "Why don't you always believe it?"

In less than a stick of incense, the battle that was already drawing to a close finally came to an end.

The 40 Turkic soldiers who came to rescue them slept forever in this desert.

The vultures, following the smell of blood, hovered in the air and made a hoarse cry.

As soon as the soldiers of the Shence Army left, these carrion-eating birds rushed down and began their gluttonous feast.

Xieli, who was caught by Cheng Yi, watched his soldiers die in the belly of the bird, and unprecedented hatred surged in his chest.

"Cheng Yi!! I'll kill you!!!"

Xieli screamed in pain, trying to die with Cheng Yi with his hands and feet.

Cheng Yi shook Jie Li, who had gone crazy, stood up, and dusted off the fine sand on his body.

"kill me?"

Cheng Yi looked at Xieli who lost his mind and sneered.

"Do you have that skill?"

After the words fell, the black blade of Hongming Dao pierced Xieli's heart from behind.

Drops of thick blood fell from the blade protruding from his chest.

Jieli turned his head back with difficulty, looked at Cheng Yi's handsome and cold face under the moonlight, and stopped breathing in unwilling resentment.

Seeing Jieli leaping into the sand, Cheng Yi breathed out slowly, and retracted the Hongming knife.

"My lord, all the enemies have been killed!"

Li Lang rushed in front of Cheng Yi, still unsure of what to say.

Cheng Yi nodded, pinched his brows and said, "Let's go, go home!"

"Yes!"

With a loud response, Li Lang immediately turned back to greet the soldiers of the Shence Army who were resting in place.

Taking one last look at the flock of vultures that were constantly pecking at the corpses of the Turkic soldiers, a cold smile appeared on the corner of Cheng Yi's mouth.

……

A month later, Cheng Yi led the Shence Army back to Chang'an City.

"General!!!"

As soon as they heard the news of Cheng Yi's return to Beijing, the people from the General's Mansion rushed to the gate of Chang'an City.

It happened that Cheng Yi had just entered Beijing, so he happened to meet them.

"General! Something happened to the princess!"

Afraid of causing a commotion, Steward Su of the General's Mansion came to Cheng Yi's side and reported in a loud voice.

"what?!"

Cheng Yi's eyes widened instantly.

Before Steward Su could say anything, he saw Cheng Yi flying away, but disappeared from his sight in a moment.

Cheng Yi hurried back to the General's Mansion, and as soon as he landed, he went straight to Qingjianyuan where Li Lizhi was.

"What happened to Changle!"

Cheng Yi asked sharply.

Cui Liu, Li Lizhi's personal maid, heard the voice, ran up to Cheng Yi with red eyes, and knelt down with a "plop".

"If you go back to the general, the princess is fine now."

Hearing these words, Cheng Yi's tense heart gradually relaxed.

"what happened?"

The heart that reached the throat fell back into the stomach, and monstrous anger followed.

"The imperial physician said," Cui Liu sniffed, and said, "The princess is poisoned..."

Cheng Yi's face instantly became extremely gloomy.

"Poisoned?"

His voice became extremely cold, and uncontrollable killing intent poured out overwhelmingly.

"How could it be poisoned!"

Cui Liu couldn't stand up straight because of the strong killing intent, so she had to lie on the ground and replied with difficulty.

"The general also knows that the princess always likes to eat the crispy jelly cake from the dim sum shop in Xunxiangfang. It was fine before, who knows, who knows..."

As Cui Liu spoke, she couldn't help sobbing.

"After the princess finished her snacks today, she suddenly vomited blood. The servant hurriedly invited the imperial physician to the mansion, and only then did I know that the princess was poisoned!"

Cheng Yiqiang suppressed the anger in his heart, restrained the killing intent that Cui Liu couldn't bear.

"How is Changle now?"

Cheng Yi asked with a gloomy face.

Cui Liu wiped the tears from her cheeks, sobbed and said: "The imperial physician forced the poison out with acupuncture, the princess has already taken the medicine and fell asleep."

Cheng Yi often let out a mouthful of foul air in his chest.

"You go back."

After saying this, Cheng Yi went straight into Li Lizhi's bedroom.

Although he really wanted to find out who poisoned Li Lizhi right now, he had to see with his own eyes that Li Lizhi was safe and sound before he could truly rest assured.

The room was filled with a strong smell of medicine, after bypassing layers of curtains, Cheng Yi finally saw Li Lizhi.

Obviously when she left Beijing, Li Lizhi was still fine!

Looking at Li Lizhi who didn't have a trace of blood on her face and was frowning even in a coma, Cheng Yi felt heartache for the first time.

Obviously promised so many people, to take good care of her...

"Husband?"

I don't know if she noticed Cheng Yi's arrival, but Li Lizhi, who was still in a coma, suddenly woke up.

Li Lizhi struggled to open her eyes, finally seeing the appearance of the man in front of her clearly.

She stretched out her hand, wanting to touch Cheng Yi's face, but because she was exhausted, she reached halfway and fell down weakly.

Seeing this, Cheng Yi hurried forward to hold Li Lizhi's hand in his palm.

"Husband really came back..."

Li Lizhi showed a weak but happy smile.

Cheng Yi reached out to caress Li Lizhi's cheek, and said softly, "Yes, I'm back, I'm back..."

Li Lizhi rubbed her cheek against Cheng Yi's palm, and finally felt relieved.

Chapter 55 Everything Will Pass

"Husband, I'm so tired..."

Li Lizhi said exhausted physically and mentally.

"Sleep for a while when you're tired, don't worry, I'll watch over you."

Cheng Yi said softly.

Li Lizhi closed her eyes in peace of mind, held Cheng Yi's hand tightly, and fell into a deep sleep again.

Putting a light kiss on Li Lizhi's forehead, Cheng Yi got up and left the quiet bedroom.

"General."

Seeing Cheng Yi coming out, Cui Liu, who had been guarding outside the door, immediately went up to meet him.

"Go in and guard Changle, I will go back as soon as I go."

Cheng Yi said with a cold face.

Taking a peek at Cheng Yi's expression, Cui Liu couldn't help but shudder and nodded immediately: "Yes."

With a soft "squeak", Cui Liu walked into the door.
