Once they set off, Long Fei Ye asked Han Yunxi, "Aren't you going to ask for your reward from this prince?"
It was already a great honor to receive a reward from him, but this woman had forgotten about it and even needed him to remind her personally?
If the Duke of Qin's admirers found out about this, Han Yunxi would probably be killed several times over by the looks of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Although Han Yunxi was so busy that she forgot, she still cleverly replied, "Your Highness Duke of Qin is a man of his word. If you say you'll reward me, then you'll definitely reward me. If this concubine asks for more, wouldn't I be questioning Your Highness's credibility? "
Long Fei Ye knew she was quibbling, but he also liked her 'flattery'. He dotingly tousled her hair and laughed heartily. "Just wait for the big reward."
"How big is it?" Han Yunxi's heart was moved.
Actually, she'd been spoiled rotten by Long Fei Ye. In this world, only Long Fei Ye's rewards could catch her eye.
"Very big. Just wait patiently."
Long Fei Ye finally seized the chance to whet Han Yunxi's appetite, but Han Yunxi didn't press the issue. She smiled and said, "Alright, I'll be looking forward to it."
That's it?
It wasn't that she wasn't curious, but that she knew he wouldn't say anything just to whet her appetite.
Instead of being curious, it was better to look forward to it! In any case, this guy had never disappointed her before.
Soon, Han Yunxi leaned against Long Fei Ye's shoulder to sleep. She looked like she was sleeping, but she was actually cultivating diligently.
It was completely different from the cultivation of martial arts and neigong. The cultivation of the poison storage space was a kind of mental and mental cultivation, and the activation of the poison storage space also consumed mental and mental strength.
Actually, her cultivation speed was much faster than any of the Poison Sect's direct descendants who'd activated the poison storage space. But she still felt that it wasn't enough.
Ever since she'd met that poison expert at Lost Void Lake, she'd felt a sense of urgency.
Whether that poison expert was the previous head of the Hundred Poisons Sect, the orphan of the Poison Sect, or some other expert of the poison world that they didn't know about, she couldn't let her guard down.
She couldn't help Long Fei Ye much in other aspects, but in terms of poison, she had to make sure he didn't have to worry.
Long Fei Ye turned his head to look at Han Yunxi. He saw that she was not curious at all and had fallen asleep so quickly. He had a helpless look on his face. He really couldn't do anything about this woman.
Heading north, Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye soon arrived at Dongjing County. Dongjing County belonged to the Tian An Country. It was the eastern border between the Tian An Country and the Commander-In-Chief's Manor in the south.
Dong Jing County was traversed by a large river that ran from east to west. This river was called the Dong Jing River.
Rather than saying that Dong Jing County was the only way to get to the City of Daughters, it was better to say that Dong Jing River was the only way to get to the City of Daughters. If one followed the river downstream, they would easily reach the middle section of the river, where the City of Daughters was hidden deep in a canyon.
Long Fei Ye had already arranged for a large ship. He and Han Yunxi got off the carriage and switched to the ship. The carriage was also brought on board and followed them.
Following the river downstream, they saw endless canyon scenery.
Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye stood on the deck and looked at the surging river and towering mountains. They both felt that the City of Daughters was a good place.
"Long Fei Ye, have you been there before?" Han Yunxi asked.
"No."
Thus, he had his servants arrange the route and prepare a ship beforehand. Even if he hadn't been here before, he knew everything.
"A city hidden deep in the mountains. It really is a good place to raise soldiers," Han Yunxi said seriously.
The City of Daughters and Carefree City were places where assassins and mercenaries gathered. The City of Daughters favored women over men, while Carefree City favored men over women. The two cities were filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. There were lone assassins who didn't belong to any organization, as well as powerful assassin clans. The Leng and Qi Clans that ruled over the two cities were the oldest assassin clans in Cloud Realm Continent.
Han Yunxi knew that Long Fei Ye wouldn't come so easily without sufficient preparations.
But by the time Long Fei Ye brought her to the gates of the City of Daughters, she was still frightened by the Long Fei Ye's preparations.
The towering city gate was tightly shut, and dozens of corpses were lined up in three rows at the city gate.
These were the corpses they'd brought back from Lost Void Lake.
Behind the corpse, there were three groups of people. Two of them were dressed in black, and it was obvious that they were organized. The people in the other group were uneven and dressed differently. They looked like a group of people, but they were actually scattered.
Lady Leng Yue led a large group of people on top of the city gate tower, facing off against the three groups outside the city.
Han Yunxi was even more shocked when she saw them.
She recognized the two groups of black-clothed men and horses. Wasn't the group on the left the strongest swordsmen of Long Fei Ye's Shadow Guard? There were about 50 of them, all handpicked by Long Fei Ye from Tianshan Kenzō's ranks and personally trained them. Han Yunxi had seen the ten leaders before when they fought Duanmu Yao. They were all well-known figures in Tianshan Kenzō.
The group on the left had about 30 people. Although they were all dressed in black, the insignia on their backs was that of Carefree City's Qi Clan! Han Yunxi recognized Qi Yaotian as soon as she saw him.
The guy was the heir to the mayor of Carefree City. His strength was extraordinary. However, judging from his position in the group, he was not at the front. He was only in the middle. It was enough to show that at least half of the thirty people from Carefree City were stronger and more influential than Qi Yaotian.
If it weren't for the plain clothes of the man standing at the front, Han Yunxi would've thought that the mayor of Carefree City had come in person.
"You're working with the people of Carefree City?" Han Yunxi asked in disbelief.
"No, I'm hiring them," Long Fei Ye said.
Collaboration required a compromise and a share of the spoils of war. On the other hand, employment was just a matter of paying.
"The top three elders of the Qi Clan of Carefree City and their sons, as well as the elders of a few assassin families, are here. This battle will be very exciting, "Long Fei Ye said with a smile. He was in a good mood.
"Hiring …" Han Yunxi had seen a lot of things, but she was still shocked by Long Fei Ye's generosity.
The guy was hiring the elites of Carefree City to deal with the City of Daughters!
Although the two cities were on opposite sides, they had never fought each other before. Nobody was capable enough to persuade the mayor of Carefree City to agree to the deal, either.
It must be noted that once the two cities fought each other, it would certainly overturn the world of assassins and mercenaries. It might even affect the entire martial arts world.
However, if she thought about it carefully, only Long Fei Ye was capable enough to hire Carefree City.
The deal had nothing to do with the commission. It only had to do with the strength of the employer. Carefree City had long wanted to destroy the City of Daughters and dominate the world of assassins. However, with their own strength, they could only be on par with the City of Daughters. Now that they had met such a tough employer like Long Fei Ye, who offered both the commission and the effort, why wouldn't Carefree City do it?
In Long Fei Ye's eyes, it was just a hire. But in the mayor of Carefree City's eyes, it was cooperation.
"Who are the other people?" Han Yunxi asked in a low voice.
"They are from the martial arts world. The City of Daughters has offended a lot of people over the years. They are all taking the opportunity to seek revenge," Long Fei Ye answered.
Han Yunxi did not know when Long Fei Ye had posted the news in the martial arts world. She smiled. "That saved me a lot of money."
The City of Daughters did not dare to open the door to accept the challenge even after a long time. It was enough to show the difference in strength.
Han Yunxi had thought that the battle with the City of Daughters would take a lot of time. But now, it seemed that it would not.
She thought that Long Fei Ye would probably be recorded in the history of assassins in Cloud Realm! He was not an assassin, but he was about to rewrite the history of the world of assassins.
As the carriage slowly drove past, the three groups of people opened up a path for them. Under everyone's gazes, Long Feiye personally carried Han Yunxi off the carriage.
In an instant, the three teams all saluted them. The Shadow Guard knelt on one knee. The people of Carefree City and the martial arts world all clasped their hands in front of their chest. They were very respectful.
On the city gate tower, Leng Shuangshuang, who had already recovered, saw this scene. She looked at Han Yunxi and was already in complete despair. Three years ago, she had looked down on this woman. Now, she was so excellent and honorable that she did not even have the right to be jealous. And that man had come today to seek revenge. She could no longer love him.
Long Fei Ye waved his hand, indicating for the Shadow Guard to rise. He merely nodded at the people of Carefree City and the martial arts world and did not return the greeting. He had never been a polite person. Besides, he had the right to be rude.
He looked up at Madam Leng Yue who was on the city gate and asked coldly, "Why are you not coming out to collect the corpse?"
Madam Leng Yue had long known that Long Fei Ye would come to seek revenge. However, she never expected that he would hire people from Carefree City and bring so many people with him.
It had to be said that Madam Leng Yue, who had always been proud, began to panic the moment she saw Long Fei Ye get off the carriage.
She knew that Long Fei Ye's arrival meant that the confrontation was over. They would attack the city.
"Madam Leng Yue, these are the children who worked for the Leng family. You don't even clean up their corpses. Do you think you deserve to be the city lord?"
The one who spoke was the leader of the Carefree City Elders, Third Master Qi, who was known in the martial arts world as Third Master Qi.
"Hehe, since when did Carefree City become the lackey of King Qin's Residence? Congratulations! "Madam Leng Yue said coldly. Even though she was afraid, she did not show any signs of backing down.
"You are only working for others because you are paid. Madam Leng Yue, you are in the same line of work. Why do you have to speak so harshly? Do you want to establish a chastity monument after becoming a whore? "Third Master Qi laughed.
"Third Master Qi!" Madam Leng Yue was furious.
"Come down if you have the guts!" Third Master Qi continued to provoke.
At this time, the group of people who were seeking revenge in the martial arts world also began to denounce Madam Leng Yue.
"Leng Yue, come down and die! Today, Old Man will avenge the brothers of the Blue Cloud Sect who died! "
"Leng Yue, come down if you have the guts! You killed the eldest disciple of Evergreen Mountain. You must pay with your life! "
"Leng Yue, do you remember the murder case in Snow Listening Mountain Villa five years ago? Today, Old Man will kill you to avenge my elder sister's family and rid the martial arts world of evil! "
… …
Han Yunxi listened with a hint of mockery on her lips. Whether it was the imperial court or the martial arts world, there were always so many righteous people.
Today, these people were relying on the power of Long Fei Ye and Carefree City to seek revenge, but they kept saying that they were upholding justice. Today, they were merely taking revenge. If they wanted to seek revenge, so be it. Why did they have to call it upholding justice?
She thought that no matter how many people were killed or injured today, once the news spread, there would be no condemnation in the martial arts world. There would only be songs of praise.
What was justice?
Strength was justice. Victory was justice. The truth could be hidden. History could be changed. Only victory and defeat were real.
The world was so realistic. You could not change it. However, you could work hard to become strong. One day, you would be able to control all the rules.
Han Yunxi rejoiced at the fact that the man by her side had enough strength to do so.
Long Fei Ye was not as weak as those people of the martial arts world. He said coldly, "Leng Yue, I am here for revenge today. Are you coming down to fight me, or will I … massacre the city? "
