The Li Family soldier was furious. He did not even summon his dragon. Instead, he grabbed the sword of a general beside him and swung it at Yang Xiu's head!
Yang Xiu sat there without dodging. His lips curled up with extreme disdain and mockery.
"Li Pinghai, step back." At this moment, a woman's voice was heard.
Li Pinghai was even more furious. Why was there still someone stopping him at this moment? He had almost pissed on the Li Family's head!
"Step back!" Suddenly, the woman's voice became sharp.
Li Pinghai stopped in his tracks. He did not know why his whole body was trembling. He could not even hold the sword in his hand firmly.
The sword fell to the ground. Li Pinghai looked over in shock. He saw a woman standing at the side door of the hall. She was tall and had an outstanding temperament.
She was the one who had spoken those irresistible words that were like a curse.
"Li Yunzi?"
Li Pinghai could not believe it. How could this woman make him tremble with just one sentence …
"Keep him alive. I need him to pass a message to Ling Luotian on my behalf," Li Yunzi said.
Li Yunzi walked into the hall under everyone's gaze.
She was wearing a light armor.
The light armor was tight and it complemented her figure well. At the same time, it made her look even more heroic.
Her jet black hair was coiled up, and she had sword-like brows and starry eyes. She didn't have too much makeup on her face. As she walked through this solemn and dignified hall, she completely looked like a female general who was about to head to the battlefield. It formed an extremely great contrast with the festive attire of everyone in the hall and the vermillion red of the guards of honor!
In fact, Li Yunzi used to wear this makeup when she appeared in the Conference Hall as Her Highness. However, she was no longer Her Highness. Today was also the day of the wedding procession from Firmament City.
"Your Highness, Yang Xiu greets you." Yang Xiu stood up from his seat and bowed.
After bowing, Yang Xiu did not look at the soldier again. He looked at Li Yunzi and said, "You are still the familiar Her Highness. If you like to enter the sedan like this, I think our City Lord will like it even more. Oh, I forgot to mention, we will not compromise on the terms of the four cities ceding. Your Highness has to arrive at Firmament City's Ling Family on time. Otherwise, we will not negotiate peace!"
After saying this, Mr. Yang Xiu let out a strange laugh.
This laughter carried a strong sense of sarcasm and even a bit of wretchedness.
"Mister Yang Xiu, I have a gift here. Why don't you accept it on behalf of your City Lord?" Li Yunzi did not take her seat. Instead, she stood in the meeting hall.
"Your Highness, what charm do you have? Save it for your wedding night with our City Lord. I don't dare to accept it on your behalf." Yang Xiu bowed.
Li Yunzi did not mind his teasing words. She gave Commander Cheng a look.
Commander Cheng nodded and clapped his hands heavily.
As soon as the voice rang out, a dozen or so soldiers immediately came forward with black cloth objects.
They walked up to Yang Xiu in an orderly manner and placed the items wrapped in black cloth at her feet.
Even Yang Xiu couldn't tell what was inside when they were lined up.
His face was filled with confusion. He did not know what Li Yunzi meant by this.
"Open it and see if there are any familiar faces inside," Li Yunzi said indifferently.
Yang Xiu immediately ordered the two servants beside him to open the first black cloth. Unexpectedly, when the first black cloth was opened, Yang Xiu's face turned pale when he saw messy hair and a head stained with brown blood.
"Open it again!" Yang Xiu gasped.
Yang Xiu felt that the two servants were taking too long, so he did it himself.
Inside the black cloth were all heads!
The stench immediately spread in the hall. Some of the young ladies who had not seen war turned pale with fright. They almost screamed and ran away.
Yang Xiu continued to open the black cloth, but his hands were already trembling.
He recognized every single one of these heads!
Before he led the wedding procession to Ancestral Dragon City, he even had a drink with each of them. At that time, these heads were still on their bodies, but now, they were wrapped in dirty black cloth. They didn't need to be supported by hands, and they could even roll on the ground.
Yang Xiu could not be more familiar with these people's faces. Didn't they already kill their way into Ancestral Dragon's Fourth Western City through the western side of the gorge?!
Why were they all here? And only their heads!!!
Yang Xiu's hands were already full of dirty blood. When he looked at Li Yunzi again, his eyes were no longer frivolous. Instead, they were filled with fear!!
She killed everyone!!
She killed everyone!!
This demoness, she killed all the soldiers of Firmament City who ambushed the Fourth Western City. She even cut off the heads of those generals and sent them here …
What raising the conditions? What last minute evil intentions …
If he did not have full confidence, how could he, Yang Xiu, dare to behave atrociously in Ancestral Dragon City's Conference Hall??
In fact, on the first day the wedding procession set off, Firmament City's army had already entered Ancestral Dragon City's territory through the gorge!
Calculating the time, at the same time he signed the peace treaty, their Firmament City's surprise attack procession would launch an attack. They would coordinate with the border army and take down the Fourth Western City of Ancestral Dragon City in one fell swoop!
Peace treaty??
They had never planned to make peace treaty from the beginning!
As long as they took over the Fourth Western City, even Li Ying would have to give up their Li Family's Madam if they wanted, let alone Li Yunzi who had a bad reputation.
However, Yang Xiu would never have thought that the heads of all the generals of this surprise attack procession would appear in this hall!
"Commander Cheng, this is …" Li Ying did not recognize these heads and was puzzled.
"Family Head, this Firmament City's elite procession took advantage of the time when we were focused on the peace treaty and sneaked into our territory through the gorge. They planned to break through our border defense line, but they were captured by our guards who were lying in ambush there," Commander Cheng reported.
"What guards?" Li Ying asked.
"It's Her Majesty's original subordinates. I transferred them from each camp and followed Li Yunzi's instructions to search for the gorge where the enemy might have sneaked in … Then, we discovered this Firmament City's surprise attack procession and killed them all in the gorge," Commander Cheng said.
"Her Majesty's guards!!" Yang Xiu could not help but exclaim. He fell to the ground as if he was struck by lightning.
The members of the Li Clan in the main hall also broke out in cold sweat.
Firmament City's army had already broken in???
Just when they were still decorated with lanterns and colored banners, thinking that Firmament City was sincere in making peace with them, they had already sent troops to seize the Fourth Western City??
Ceding the Fourth Western City?
If Li Yunzi's guards did not see through their tricks, they would have already seized the Fourth Western City.
The blood on these heads had dried up for a long time!
"You … You will all die a horrible death. Li Yunzi, you vicious woman, you will definitely go to hell," Yang Xiu roared crazily.
"Don't act crazy here, I will spare your life," Li Yunzi said coldly to Yang Xiu.
Yang Xiu's expression immediately changed when he heard that. He crawled toward Li Yunzi in an extremely humble manner and kept kowtowing, "I have always heard that Her Majesty's words carry enormous weight. Thank you, Your Majesty, for sparing my life. Thank you, Your Majesty, for sparing my life."
This Yang Xiu was hilarious. He was sometimes polite, sometimes savage, sometimes crazy, and sometimes as humble as a dog.
"You didn't find the one you cared about the most among these heads, did you?" Li Yunzi asked condescendingly.
"Yes … Yes …" Yang Xiu felt that all his thoughts had been seen through by this woman. He did not dare to show any disrespect.
"Your Ling Family's Young Master is still alive. This is what I want you to tell Ling Luotian," Li Yunzi said.
Yang Xiu slowly raised his head. He could not believe Li Yunzi's words.
Still alive??
Ling Family's First Young Master was still alive??
No matter how many generals there were, they could not be compared to Ling Family's First Young Master. He was the future successor of Cloud Sky City. The Ling Family Head had always cared about his First Young Master. In order for him to establish his reputation, he even let him lead this surprise attack team. It was all so that he could become the hero who conquered Ancestral Dragon City!
It was supposed to be foolproof and make a name for himself. Who knew that he would end up like this …
"I will sign the peace treaty now. I will sign it now. I don't need any conditions. Of course, I will not dare to tease Your Majesty anymore!" Yang Xiu began to look for the peace treaty on the ground. When he finally found it, he saw Li Yunzi looking at him coldly.
Peace treaty??
With Her Majesty around, it was impossible for Ancestral Dragon City and Cloud Sky City to make peace!
"Sit down. Use your literary talent to come up with a letter to redeem your Young Master's life … Before that, finish everything on the ground," Li Yunzi said.
The core, peel, spit out pulp, and some sticky phlegm. Yang Xiu looked at the disgusting mess on the ground and suddenly had the urge to slap himself.
Li Yunzi turned around and ignored Yang Xiu who was cleaning the ground.
"Yunzi, you have done us a great service!" an elder in the clan said.
"As expected of Her Majesty. Our Ancestral Dragon City is blessed," someone immediately exclaimed.
"She should be reinstated as Her Majesty. Li Yunzi has suffered a lot recently."
Li Yunzi did not care about the words of the people in the clan. She walked straight to the front of the hall and toward Madam Kong Tong.
Madam Kong Tong forced a smile and looked at Li Yunzi. She had no idea what Li Yunzi was going to do.
Li Yunzi took the thick marriage contract from Madam Kong Tong's hand and crossed out her name in front of everyone.
Kong Tong's expression changed, but she did not dare to make a sound.
After erasing the name 'Li Yunzi', Li Yunzi threw the ink brush in her hand toward the tables of Li Kongxi, Mu Qing, and the other young ladies of the Li Family.
The ink at the end of the brush splashed onto the delicate faces of the young ladies.
"Leave the matter of selling themselves for peace to them. If there is a battle that I cannot win, they will be excellent consolations for the enemy," Li Yunzi smiled.
However, Li Kongxi, Mu Qing, and the so-called dutiful ladies of the Li Family were so scared that their faces turned pale!!
