"General, it's been five days, and the army of Tianming Kingdom has not moved at all. This is not normal."

Hearing the words coming from behind, Liu Ao, who was standing on the city tower, looked slightly calmed, looked at the flag of Tianming Kingdom flying high in the city opposite, and sighed slightly and said, "Isn't this a good thing?"

Liu Ao's deputy general frowned: "It seems that since the emperor sent a letter to the Emperor of the Underworld, the Kingdom of Heavenly Ming did not send troops again. Could it be that the emperor and Emperor of the Underworld had reached any agreement?"

Liu Ao's expression turned cold, and suddenly turned his head, looking at her deputy general and said coldly: "Don't speculate on the emperor's thoughts!"

The deputy general's expression froze and lowered his head and said, "The general has taught me a lesson! But there is still something unknown to the last general. The general has been sending people everywhere to look for His Royal Highness the Crown Princess these days. Why is this? Could it be that the one who rescued His Royal Highness the Crown Princess that day was not sent by the palace? If His Royal Highness had a few shortcomings, would the emperor blame the General?"

"Even if the emperor blames you, you won't blame you. Don't meddle in other people's business." Liu Ao said coldly, "Continue to send someone to stare at the Tianming Kingdom. Report any situation at any time."

"Yes!" The deputy general ordered to leave.

Liu Ao glanced at the flag of Tianming Kingdom again deeply, and turned to go down the city tower.

Five days ago, Ming Yufeng and the Tianming Army fought against the Qingluan Army several times in succession, but they had almost no defeat. The more they fought, they became more and more brave, and they were afraid of the Qingluan Army's soldiers. Now they suddenly ceased to fight. Although Liu Ao didn't know the specific reason, she had a vague feeling that it would be difficult for Qingyu to win back this game...

Liu Ao naturally wouldn't know that Ming Yufeng had left the army of Tianming Kingdom five days ago, and just blocked the news. And the direction of Ming Yufeng was Fengming City, the capital of Qingluan Kingdom.

In the spring season, Qingluan Kingdom was shrouded in the haze of war. The sky-ming Kingdom, which was driving straight into the sky, made everyone frightened even if the Qingluan Kingdom cities that were not yet infected with the war, including Fengming City.

It seems that since the selection of the Royal Princess last year, the peaceful days of the people of Fengming City have been broken, and Qingluan Kingdom is no longer as peaceful as before. Until now, many people in Fengming City can still remember the blood letters and manifestos hanging on the tower of Fengming City on the eve of the selection of the Royal Princess last year. Some of the old people who were treacherously said behind their backs that Qingluan Kingdom suffered such a great disaster this time, because the unjust souls she killed came back to take revenge...

In the Qingluan Palace, Qing Yu had just read the battle report sent back by Liu Ao, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

The person sitting not far away was Bai Yi's grandfather Bai Yuan. Bai Yuan was much older than before, with his hands hanging unnaturally beside him, his eyes slightly lowered, and he did not look at Qingyu.

Qing Yu threw the letter to Bai Yuan without any hesitation: "You can take a look, I will know that this trick is the most useful! Now Ming Yufeng has stopped and may be on his way to Fengming City to find me. When he arrives, I will teach him a profound lesson!"

Bai Yuan's hand trembled uncontrollably, picked up the letter, glanced for a few times, then put it aside, looked up at Qing Yu, with hatred in his eyes that could not be dissolved.

"Yi'er has completed your task. Will you really let her go afterwards?" Bai Yuan asked coldly at Qing Yu.

Qing Yu chuckled: "Yi'er will be able to return to Fengming City in the next two days. When I get that child, I will certainly not make things difficult for Yi'er anymore. Yi'er is my biological granddaughter, the best among all my granddaughters now. I still think that as long as she is obedient, she will be the crown princess."

"She doesn't want to be like it at all! Don't make things difficult for her anymore. For the sake of flesh and blood, please let her go!" Bai Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Bai Yuan, for this granddaughter, you have really become a different person. Just now you didn't mention asking me to let you go, but for Yi'er, you even looked down on life and death. You used to want her to be my heir so much, but now I agree, you are not happy?" Qing Yu's lips curled up with a sarcasm, "Bai Yuan, when you insisted on bringing Yi'er to me again, you had already entered this muddy water. Now you want to stay out of trouble, it's too late."

A trace of regret flashed in Bai Yuan's eyes and murmured: "It was me who was wrong... I was the one who harmed Yi'er..." Bai Yuan actually didn't really believe that Bai Yi would really kidnap Xiao Xing'er. First, Bai Yi's personality determined that she would not do anything to hurt a child. Second, the Divine Soldier City was very cautious, and there were many masters around Xiao Xing'er, so Bai Yi could not do it at all. But a few days ago, Qing Yu received a message from Bai Yi, and asked Bai Yuan to bring Bai Yuan over and let Bai Yuan see it. Bai Yi said in the letter that she had already taken the person Qing Yu wanted to rush to Fengming City, asking Qing Yu not to touch her relatives...

Qingyu quickly wrote a letter to Ming Yufeng, which resulted in the recent truce between the two countries.

"Come, take him down!" Qing Yu said.

Two guards came in and dragged Bai Yuan out. Bai Yuan, who was once extremely skilled in martial arts, has now been beaten to a useless person by Qing Yu, and his hands and feet have been broken and he cannot walk by himself.

Not long after Bai Yuan left, Qing Yu got up and was about to go to the study room. Suddenly his expression subsided, he turned around and called the person who came.

After a palm, the two separated, Qing Yu's eyes shrank slightly. Looking at the tall middle-aged man in front of him, he heard a voice that surprised her: "Qing Emperor, I haven't seen you for many years, are you okay?"

Qing Yu frowned and blurted out in disbelief: "Are you... Baili Luochen?"

The middle-aged man wearing a mask took off the mask on his face and showed a thin but handsome face. There was a very small mole on the corner of his left eye, which was exactly the way Baili Luochen, the son of Baili Xun, looked like Qingyu's memory.

When Baili Luochen was young, he was a famous handsome man in the Tianyuan Continent and a famous prodigal son. Before being with Qingning, Baili Luochen saw countless girls. Later, when he met Qingning, he suddenly felt relieved. He knelt in front of Qingyu and begged Qingyu, hoping that Qingyu would agree to marry Qingning, but Qingyu refused without hesitation.

Baili Xun also disagreed with his son marrying Qingyu's daughter. The reason was very simple. The rules of Qingluan Kingdom were placed there. Baili Luochen later said helplessly that he wanted to marry into a marriage, and he also wanted to be with Qingning. Baili Xun was so angry that he almost vomited blood because he had only one son. If Baili Luochen really married into the Qingluan Kingdom royal family, the Baili family in Qisha City would never be able to raise their heads anymore.

In the end, under layers of resistance, Baili Luochen and Qingning chose a road that no one expected. They secretly took Baili Xun on the ship of Qisha City and elopeed to Tianyu Continent. Baili Xun was chased, but they didn't catch up. Baili Xun asked someone to find him. The news brought back was that Baili Luochen and Qingning died not long after they arrived in Tianyu Continent, and they also left behind a daughter who had just been born, Baili Qing and Qingqing.

Although Qing Yu did not care whether Baili Luochen was dead or how he died, after so many years, Qing Yu was still a little surprised when he suddenly saw Baili Luochen appear again. He also had many questions in his heart. I wonder why Baili Luochen is still alive? Since he was alive and hid there for those years, why did he come back now? Where did Qingning go?

"It would be great if Qingdi still recognizes me." The man who claimed to be Baili Luochen nodded slightly and admitted his identity. "I had to do something back then. But Qing'er is really Qingdi's granddaughter. Now Qingdi shouldn't doubt it anymore, right?"

"So, you are the one who saved Qing'er on the battlefield." Qing Yu looked at Baili Luochen and said with affirmative eyes.

"That's right." Baili Luochen nodded, "No matter what Emperor Qing wants to know, I will tell Emperor Qing in all the time. Now I am here because Qing'er is seriously injured and poisoned in her body. She needs a ten thousand-year-old ice lotus to help her. I guess Emperor Qing has such a treasure in his hand, right?"

"Why don't you bring Qing'er here? Do you think I will harm her? I have a doctor with excellent medical skills around me. Do you need Wannian Ice Lotus? Let's talk about it after seeing it for Qing'er?" Qing Yu said to Baili Luochen without any doubt.

Baili Luochen's eyes flashed slightly: "It's good, Qingdi is waiting, I'll bring Qing'er here now."

Baili Luochen disappeared after he finished speaking. Qingyu looked thoughtfully at the direction where Baili Luochen left. Originally, Qingyu had given up on Qingqing. On the one hand, Qingyu could not verify whether Qingqing was her granddaughter. On the other hand, Qingyu was resentful of Qingning's rebellion back then, so he did not like Qingqing fundamentally, and Qingqing was not cultivated by Qingyu.

But now, Qing Yu had other ideas. For some reason, Baili Luochen, who was not dead, appeared again. Qing Yu felt that Baili Luochen must have a secret, and she wanted to find out...

Not long after, Baili Luochen took Qingqing and returned. Qingyu asked Baili Luochen to put Qingqing on the soft collapse. Qingqing fell asleep, her right arm was cut off, and her left shoulder was fixed by two wooden boards because the bones were broken, and her face was densely covered with scars, and her whole face had been ruined.

"The young master of Divine Soldier City is too ruthless." Qing Yu sighed slightly and said.

After Qing Yu finished speaking, a chill flashed in Baili Luochen's eyes and he said, "Didn't Qing Emperor say there are people with excellent medical skills around him?"

"Yeah." Qing Yu finished speaking and clapped his hands. A black shadow appeared in the room like a ghost. His face was covered with a mask, and he could not see his appearance, but he could tell that he was a man and was not young anymore.

Qingyu asked the man to take Qingqing's pulse, and the man said, "The poison she was infected with is very complicated and difficult to solve. I can try it, but I need a ten thousand-year-old ice lotus."

Qing Yu frowned, his expression quickly returned to normal, and he nodded slightly and said, "I happen to have a ten thousand-year-old ice lotus in my hand, which can be taken for Qing'er."

"Thank you, Emperor Qing." Baili Luochen bowed to Qing Yu.

"Qing'er is also my granddaughter, isn't she?" Qing Yu said with a deep look at Baili Luochen.

Baili Luochen nodded: "Of course."

Then the old man Qingyu found saw Qingqing's left arm injury and said that he could protect Qingqing's left arm, but even if he kept it, he could not exercise vigorously, and naturally he could not use force. In other words, Qingqing, whose right arm was gone, completely turned into a useless man.

A trace of pain flashed in Baili Luochen's eyes, and Qingyu saw it. Qingyu believed that Qingqing was Baili Luochen's biological daughter, but Qingyu still dared not be 100% sure whether Qingqing was Qingning's biological daughter, but Qingyu was still afraid to be 100% sure, but now she is more interested in Baili Luochen who is resurrected from the dead.

After the Wannian Ice Lotus was taken, the old man made an understanding medicine for Qingqing. After Qingqing took it, he vomited blood.

The old man said helplessly that his antidote was not completely correct, so although he eliminated the poison, Qing Qing's dantian was completely destroyed, and her cultivation was gone. Even though her left arm was intact, she could never practice again.

Baili Luochen was very angry, but he didn't dare to have an attack. Under Qingyu's arrangement, he took Qingqing and temporarily lived in the Qingluan Kingdom Palace.

The next day, Qing Yu saw Baili Luochen again and asked him the first thing he said was: "Why didn't you save your father?"

Baili Luochen sighed deeply: "Qing'er's condition was critical at that time, so I had no time to save her and quickly took her to treat her. For Qing'er, I dare not act rashly, so I can only let my father down for the time being."

"Now Qing'er is safe here for me, you can go and save your father." Qing Yu said in Baili Luochen's eyes.

Baili Luochen nodded without hesitation: "I am just thinking about this. I came to Qingdi today to say goodbye. I hope Qingdi will take good care of Qing'er next."

A dark light flashed in Qingyu's eyes, and he smiled and said, "I'm just curious if you are still blaming your father for the incident back then. Now it seems that you are already thinking about it."

Baili Luochen sighed deeply: "My father was also for my own good back then, so I don't blame him."

"You don't have to go, stay and take care of Qing'er. The people in Tianming Kingdom will come to see me soon. I will ask them to hand over your father at that time." Qing Yu looked at Baili Luochen and said.

Obviously, this was a test just now. Qing Yu didn't really care about Baili Xun's life, and wanted Baili Luochen to save him. Qing Yu was testing Baili Luochen's attitude towards Baili Xun, because she felt in her heart that Baili Luochen's appearance was a bit strange. There was nothing wrong with Baili Luochen's performance.

"I guess Emperor Qing has made an arrangement. Even if it is to avenge Qing'er, I will help Emperor Qing to deal with the people of Tianming Kingdom and the Divine Weapon City together." Baili Luochen looked at Qing Yu and said.

"Okay." Qing Yu nodded slightly, "The second question I want to ask you is, where is Qingning?"

A trace of pain flashed in Baili Luochen's eyes. Before he could answer, a person's voice sounded at the door: "Your Majesty, Miss Yi is back!"

Qing Yu looked slightly happy, stood up and winked Baili Luochen. Baili Luochen flashed into the inner room and hid.

"Let Yi'er come in!" Qing Yu said to the outside.

The next moment, the door opened, and Bai Yi walked in with a dusty look tired, his face was thin, and he was holding a child wrapped in a small quilt in his arms. Qing Yu could only see the black hair on the back of the child's head.

Qing Yu walked forward quickly, but Bai Yi took two steps back with alert eyes and said coldly: "Stop!"

Qing Yu stopped and raised his hand. The door behind Bai Yi suddenly closed.

Qing Yu looked at Bai Yi and smiled: "Yi'er, I know that I won't misread someone. Come and show me that child!"

"Grandmother, I will give you the child and I will have no bargaining chips in my hand." Bai Yi looked at Qing Yu and said coldly.

"What do you want?" Qing Yu looked at Bai Yi with a slightly dark face.

"It's very simple. You let my adoptive father's family go in front of me and my grandfather. I want to see them leave Fengming City safely before I can hand over the child to you." Bai Yi looked at Qing Yu and said coldly.

Qing Yu smiled, "Yi'er, you know, it's meaningless to kill them. Why don't you believe me? You have already brought the child with you. Can you still take this child with your wings and fly out of this palace?"

Qing Yu's words implicitly threatened, implying that Bai Yi was unable to escape anymore, and only obedience was the only way out.

Bai Yi looked at Qing Yu and suddenly sneered: "Since I have entered the palace, I know I will definitely not have the chance to escape, and I have no intention of escaping alone!"

Qing Yu's eyes shrank slightly: "What do you want to do?"

Bai Yi lowered his head, looked at the "child" in his arms with loving eyes, and said in a soft voice: "If the emperor's grandmother refuses to agree to my conditions and let others go first, then the emperor's grandmother must believe that before the emperor's grandmother touches me or touches my relatives, I will definitely take this child to the underworld together! The emperor's grandmother does not give me a way to live and forces me to this point. I have offended the Shenbing City. Now I can't save myself, so I can only save my relatives. This is the most wrong thing I have done in my life, but it can no longer be saved. If the emperor's grandmother really wants this child, do as I say!"

Qing Yu laughed, sat down slowly, and looked at Bai Yi and said, "Yes, I want that child very much, but Yier, you are too naive. Those who have conditions with me will not have a good end. I can promise you to let someone go first. This does not have much hinderance to my plan, because the lives of those people are worthless! But I don't allow you to talk to me like this. Now, I will teach you a lesson to let you know the consequences of disobeying me!"

Bai Yi's expression changed slightly: "What are you going to do?"

"Yi'er, I'll give you a piece of advice. When doing things, you must consider the consequences clearly." Qing Yu looked at Bai Yi and sneered, "You only have one child in your hand, but I have eighteen hostages in my hand. Don't bow your head and hand over the children to me obediently. I'll let them die in front of you one by one, and see when you can endure it!"

Bai Yi was so angry that he trembled all over: "Qingyu! Do you dare?!"

"People come, bring all those people here, and let them see with their own eyes before they die!" Qing Yu sneered repeatedly.

Bai Yi looked at Qing Yu with hatred, took out a dagger and pressed it against the "child"'s neck: "Don't force me!"

"Yi'er, you won't do that. If you dare to hurt that child, I will tear your adoptive father and mother, and your grandfather, into pieces!" Qing Yu sneered, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes.

Qingyu did not have suspicion about the authenticity of the child. The main reason was that Qingyu sent more than one person to monitor Bai Yi. The closest eyeliner to Bai Yi sent back a lot of news to Qingyu, including how Bai Yi pretended to be pitiful and got into the Lord of the Divine Soldier City’s mansion three days before the Lantern Festival, and how the whole city celebrated on the Lantern Festival night of the 15th day of the first lunar month. The city lord’s mansion stole the children when the defense in the city was empty. They even said that the people in the Divine Soldier City were chasing them, and they were constantly changing their way. On the other hand, Bai Yi’s words and deeds after entering the door were not flawed. If she brought a fake child back, she would not be so confident and negotiated with Qingyu. But she said that she offended Shenbing City and had no way to survive, which sounded very reasonable.

In this way, the atmosphere was temporarily in a stalemate. Qing Yu's people went to bring the hostages over, and Bai Yi stood there, glaring at Qing Yu, and the dagger in his hand was still pressing against the "child's" neck.

Qing Yu felt that Bai Yi should not know what to do, and the situation had been controlled by Qing Yu again. Qing Yu never doubted why the child in Bai Yi's arms had not moved, because Qing Yu's eyeliner told Qing Yu a lot of credible details when he sent a message to Qing Yu. One of them was that in order to prevent the child from crying, someone found something was wrong, Bai Yi would feed the child every day, and said in detail that Bai Yi only feeds the child a little at a time, for fear that the child would not be able to bear it.
To be continued...
