Chapter 26

  His smile at this moment was cold, but it didn't have the same chill and sharpness as before. In that smile, there was an obvious hint of a mysterious and sinister intention.

  Ling Feng was shocked, her previous action was very fast and sudden, but it didn't mean that he didn't have any chance to stop it. However, he didn't even make a move, just letting the token fly into the city wall.

  With a calm and composed heart, she smiled slightly, "I'm just a humble woman, how dare I show off in front of the majestic prince." The words sounded like flattery, but had underlying implications.

  The man's eyes narrowed slightly, the smile at the corner of his lips spreading slowly. The coldness in his eyes faded a bit, "Huh, there aren't many people who can remain so calm in front of me, and you're the first woman." His words paused for a moment, his face intentionally leaning in closer to hers, lowering his voice on purpose, with a flirtatious expression, he said, "How about it? Are you interested in going back with me?"

  This woman was beautiful, and in the darkness, she could still easily attract his gaze. What attracted him most to her, however, was that kind of reckless abandon that drove people crazy.

  She raised an eyebrow slightly, with a hint of skepticism. "Follow the king back? And then what? How does the king plan to deal with a woman from the enemy army?" Her light words deliberately drew a line, yet subtly sparked a topic.

  She thought that even if the token was discovered and fell into Murong Lingyun's hands, it would still take some time, and for now, she could only try to delay as much as possible.

  The man's eyes flashed with a hint of interest, "I've always been easy-going, so let you choose." His hand slightly raised, as if to brush against her face, but stopped in mid-air, "However, I advise you not to try to delay time, because no one will come to rescue you." The voice was laced with a smile, seemingly playful, yet said with great certainty.

  Ling Feng's expression was slightly stunned, and he thought deeply about the meaning behind his words. With a half-true, half-false smile, he said, "Your Highness means that there is no one in the Xuan Yuan Dynasty who can rival Your Highness?" His words paused for a moment, with a faint smile and an obvious provocation, "That's not necessarily true, is it?"

  "Hmph." The man chuckled indifferently, "The Xuan Yuan dynasty can rival me now, and the only one who can do that is Xuan Yuan Chen." His eyes scanned her with a deeper meaning, "It's just a pity you're Mu Rong Ling Yun's woman."

  Ling Feng was slightly startled, how did he know she was Murong Lingyun's woman?

  It seemed that he had seen the doubts in her heart, and his lips curled up into a more obvious smile. "A woman who can possess Mu Rong's token should have a very important position in his heart." His eagle-like eyes gazed at her with a hint of a smile, as if it was only natural to think so. "A woman like you is indeed worthy, but unfortunately, he may not be able to enjoy it now."

  Ling Feng's body suddenly stiffened, his face also sank suddenly. At this moment, he couldn't care about pretending anymore and hastily shouted, "What do you mean by that?" Could it be that Murong Lingyun was injured so severely?

  Seeing her anxiety, a faint smile flashed in his eyes, but it seemed to flash with a hint of regret. He said cruelly, "He was poisoned by me and the time has come for it to take effect. I'm afraid he won't survive tonight."

  "What...?!" Ling Feng's eyes flashed with anger, but the intense flames of fury still couldn't hide the fear in her eyes. "The antidote?" Since he was the one who poisoned her, there must be an antidote, right? But she had forgotten that he was actually the enemy of Murong Lingyun, and probably hoped for his early demise, so why would he hand over the antidote?

  "There is no antidote." He didn't show any surprise, but the smile on his face became even more ruthless. "My poison has never had an antidote, because I only know how to kill people, not save them. You've fallen into my hands and still have a life to live now, that's already a miracle."

  Ling Feng glared at him, furious, "Killing me won't even show off your majesty's power, will it?" As he spoke, his eyes subtly swept towards the city wall. If Murong Lingyun was really as badly injured as he said, she had to enter the city quickly, she had to see Murong Lingyun.

  "Hmph." He coldly snorted, "Woman, I advise you, don't play tricks in front of me again, otherwise I won't guarantee that my sword will not pierce your beautiful neck."

  Inside Xiliang City, a general took the token from the soldier and was suddenly shocked. "Isn't this the Commander-in-Chief's token? How did it end up in your hands?"

  "General Hui, I just picked this up under the city wall. There are also some chaotic sounds coming from outside the city wall. I don't know what's happening?"

  Following the soldier to the place just now, the general was more and more horrified as he listened, but at this moment the marshal was unconscious, and he didn't dare to leave the city rashly. Everything can only be asked to King Wang, hoping that King Wang can...

  That officer held the token and walked worriedly into Xuan Yuan Zhi's room, "Your Highness, there is an important matter to report."

  "What's going on?" A cold voice, with an inherent majesty, slowly rose. It made the general involuntarily take a step back.

  "Just now, I was under the city wall and heard the sound of fighting. It seems that someone wants to break into the city and has been discovered by the enemy." He tried his best to make the situation sound serious.

  "Huh?" Xuan Yuan Chen slightly furrowed his brow, Du Ye and the others weren't that fast, it shouldn't be their people, then there must be someone from the Da Yu royal family who was behind this.

  "What? Does this trivial matter require reporting to me, the king? Are all of Murong Lingyun's subordinates like this?" The cold lips curled up with obvious sarcasm.

  The warrior's eyes flashed with anger, insulting him was something he could endure, but insulting their commander was something he couldn't remain indifferent to.

  Just recalling what he had just heard, he could only suppress his indignation and say, "Then please let me, your humble general, go out of the city to investigate."

  "Hmph." Xuan Yuan Cheng coldly snorted, "If you want to be buried with Murong Lingyun, I won't stop you. But I'm afraid Da Xiuran is waiting for you right now."

  The general's hand clenched tightly, the anger in his eyes spreading, and he said in a low voice, "Even if General Mo loses his life, he must go out of the city. Commander Murong has always regarded the token as more important than his own life. Now that he has given the token to this person, this person is probably even more important to the commander than his own life. Therefore, General Mo must go and rescue her."

  "A token, more precious than life? Murong Lingyun... " The cold voice trailed off, the corners of his lips curling up in a mocking smile. But just as he was about to continue, he suddenly stopped, his eyes sinking abruptly. "You say, the person who came has Murong Lingyun's token?" A figure flashed rapidly through his mind.

  "Yes." The general, though he didn't understand Xuan Yuan Zhi's meaning, still responded in a low voice and took out the token from his hand.

  Xuanyuan stared at the token, his eyes narrowing slightly as if thinking about something. After a few seconds of pause, his eyes suddenly sank and his figure quickly flashed outwards.

  Won't be that woman, alone, coming to Xiliang City?
