"Master, this matter is absolutely true. This disciple wouldn't dare deceive you! If you don't believe me, you can personally investigate. The East Qin army's flag has already been raised! "
Although Bai Yuqiao was also very surprised, she was frightened by her master's reaction. Her master had always been calm. Even when he encountered an accident, he had never been this excited before.
Bai Yanqing let go of Bai Yuqiao's collar in disappointment. His eyes narrowed into slits. "Good Long Fei Ye, you actually dare to trick Old Man!"
It had to be known that he had already planned everything. Today, he would announce Long Fei Ye's identity!
He already knew Long Fei Ye's identity!
Bai Yuqiao was confused. She did not understand what her master was saying. She wanted to ask more, but Bai Yanqing quickly said, "Report this matter to your senior brother as soon as possible. Tell him that no matter what method he uses, he must bring back the warhorses as soon as possible. Otherwise, Northern Li will be in danger!"
"Master, Ning Cheng still has the Red Barbarian Cannon. The Qin King may not be able to take down the Ning Family army in a year or so," Bai Yuqiao seriously said.
"What do you know? Why aren't you going? "
Bai Yanqing angrily roared. He was on the verge of losing control of his emotions. Bai Yuqiao was scared. She did not dare say anything and quickly retreated.
Bai Yanqing paced back and forth in the room. It took him a while to calm down.
He already knew Long Fei Ye's identity as the East Qin Crown Prince. When Jun Yi Xie brought back the blood stains from Fishery Island, he learned of the existence of the Mermaid Clan and suspected the Bai Li Navy. He had already found out that the Bai Clan was the Mermaid Clan.
The drop of blood in Baili Mingxiang had made him suspect Long Fei Ye's identity. Han Yunxi's cinnabar mole on Fishery Island had made him realize that Long Fei Ye might have activated the Lustbite Seal.
Long Tianmo's grandmother, the empress dowager of the Tian An Country, suspected that Long Fei Ye didn't have the blood of Tianning's imperial clan. She even spent a huge sum of silver to have the City of Daughters kidnap Grand Concubine Yi. The City Lord of the City of Daughters, Madam Leng Yue, had told him about this matter and he had basically confirmed Long Fei Ye's identity.
Before Chu Xifeng met Murong Wanru, he had long used her life as a bargaining chip to blackmail Grand Concubine Yi. Grand Concubine Yi then revealed the truth of how she'd adopted Long Fei Ye. At this point, he was completely certain that Long Fei Ye was the descendant of the East Qin imperial family.
He used his acupuncture skills to knock Grand Concubine Yi unconscious, then used Duanmu Yao and Madam Leng Yue to put on a good show to confuse Long Fei Ye.
During the battle of Celestial Mountain, he had He Yilian use delaying tactics to severely injure Long Fei Ye and trap Long Fei Ye on the mountain.
This way, Jun Yi Xie would have enough time to buy battle horses.
He was planning to sit by and watch as Ning Cheng and the south central regions fought. According to his calculations, Ning Cheng's forces would lose to Ning Cheng due to Medical City's interference. Moreover, Ning Cheng's vitality would be greatly damaged.
Ning Cheng had deployed all of his red coat cannons, so Tianning's northern defenses were practically nonexistent. He'd bring Jun Yi Xie back with him to train his battle horses and send them to Tianning without any resistance.
Once they conquered Tianning, the defeated Western Zhou, Tian An, and south central regions would have nothing left to say.
He never expected Han Yunxi and Gu Beiyue to come to Medical City. Not only had they resolved the crisis of the south central regions, but they'd also taken control of Medical City.
Even so, he didn't lose his composure. Because he had Long Fei Ye's weakness in his hands!
Long Fei Ye's identity as East Qin's crown prince meant there were too many things he could do. He had a perfect plan that was already in motion.
He was going to announce Long Fei Ye's identity today. But who knew that Long Fei Ye would discover Nine Xuan Palace's spies and beat him to it? Not only did he secretly descend Celestial Mountain, he even used the mermaid army to cross the river and ambush the Ning Clan troops. He even hung up the East Qin imperial banners to announce his identity to the world.
Long Fei Ye's move had truly caught him off guard.
Jun Yi Xie had no time! Northern Li had no time either!
Bai Yanqing paced back and forth, walking faster and faster. He wondered if he should reveal his final trump card at this time.
Bai Yanqing hesitated for a long time. It wasn't until the Nine Xuan Palace's spies arrived that he calmed down. He asked, "Baili Mingxiang also descended the mountain with Long Fei Ye?"
"They descended the mountain together!" the spy reported.
"Long Fei Ye wasn't injured, so why did Baili Mingxiang come to Celestial Mountain?" Bai Yanqing asked again.
"Master, she enters Long Fei Ye's room every day. As for what she does inside, our men can't find out," the spy replied.
"This girl was originally Han Yunxi's servant, right?" Bai Yanqing was very excited about Baili Mingxiang.
"Although she was Han Yunxi's servant, she was loyal to Long Fei Ye. Master, don't forget that she is a member of the Bai Clan. She knows martial arts, but she has never used it. I'm afraid that she is deliberately hiding it, "the spy reminded.
"Why?" Bai Yanqing stroked his beard.
"This subordinate is also puzzled. Long Fei Ye has never had a servant serving him. Now that his internal injuries have healed, there is no reason for him to keep her by his side, "the spy said seriously.
"Since Long Fei Ye has healed, he must have cultivated the second stage of the Lustbite power and can use it freely," Bai Yanqing muttered after pondering for a long time. "The third stage of the Lustbite power must be through dual cultivation …"
"Master, you mean that this Baili Mingxiang …" The spy was shocked.
Bai Yanqing suddenly laughed out loud. "Excellent! Excellent! Long Fei Ye, Old Man didn't guess wrong! You will lose to a woman in the end! "
Bai Yanqing steeled his heart and decided to reveal his final trump card.
He said, "Prepare the carriage. Old Man wants to personally meet the Di Clan Head, Ning Cheng!"
He wanted to thank Long Fei Ye for revealing Ning Cheng's background. Otherwise, he wouldn't have known who to work with for such a perfect plan!
Back then, it was the Di Clan who had funded and supported them from behind the scenes. They had joined forces with the Wind and Black Clans to destroy the last of East Qin's imperial guards.
He believed that this time, the three clans would work together happily as well.
Bai Yanqing quickly set out for Tianning. He didn't know that Ning Cheng was currently in Medical City, secretly meeting with Ning Jing.
Ning Jing had just received news of the war as well and was so shocked that her face had turned white.
She had always known that Long Fei Ye was Tianning's strongest enemy, but she didn't know that Long Fei Ye was the Di Clan's enemy as well.
"Big brother, why aren't you hurrying back yet?! Long Fei Ye's mermaid soldiers don't just know how to cross rivers. There are two major water systems in South Xiaonan Prefecture that we can't guard against! "Ning Jing coaxed.
"Within half a month, Tianning's southern regions will be conquered. There's no use for your lordship to go back." Ning Cheng was rather calm.
Long Fei Ye's move was truly ingenious. He'd used revenge as an excuse to send out troops and even revealed the Ning Clan's secret to the public. How much support did he win with this?
The Great Qin Empire had opened up Cloud Realm Continent's only golden age. Eastern and Western Qin's imperial clan was still the most honorable and sacred bloodline in people's hearts.
Previously, Western Qin's Chu Clan had announced their identity as the Nether Clan and waged war under the pretext of reviving Western Zhou. However, they hadn't received any support from the people and were instead denounced for using the name of Western Qin's imperial clan for personal gain. However, Long Fei Ye was different. Long Fei Ye was the legitimate heir of the imperial clan. It was perfectly justifiable for him to seek revenge and revive East Qin. Moreover, Long Fei Ye's own strength was extremely powerful!
Ning Cheng could already foresee that after Tianning's southern regions fell, there would definitely be forces from Western Zhou, Tianning, and Tian An who would pledge allegiance to Long Fei Ye and serve East Qin wholeheartedly.
Rather than submit first and be rewarded later, it was better to lose the war and become a prisoner.
"Big bro, are you just going to watch as …"
Ning Jing knew how to make money, but not politics. Before she could finish, Ning Cheng cut her off with a long sigh. "If we can find the orphan of Western Qin's imperial clan, there's still a chance to turn things around. Otherwise, Northern Li will be in trouble! Heheh, Long Fei Ye … it's no wonder he's East Qin's descendant! "
"Big bro, are you giving up?" Ning Jing shook her head.
"No." Ning Cheng's lips curved into a cold, arrogant smile. "There's one person who can stop Long Fei Ye's army … from advancing!"
"Han Yunxi!" Ning Jing was very smart.
"Get the Tang Clan's hidden weapons as soon as possible. You don't need to worry about anything else," Ning Cheng said Coldly.
"Understood." Ning Jing nodded.
Ning Cheng was about to leave when he turned around and asked, "Where's Tang Li?"
"He …" Ning Jing's heart skipped a beat. "I asked him to buy me food. I'm not used to the food in this inn."
"You don't have much time left," Ning Cheng reminded her before leaving.
Ning Jing hurriedly closed the door and let out a sigh of relief. In fact, Tang Li had disappeared a long time ago. She didn't know why she had lied to Ning Cheng.
Emperor Kangcheng of Western Zhou, Long Tianmo of Tian An, the Emperors of the Northern Dynasties, and even the City Lord of Carefree City, Elder Wang of Medicine City, and the disciples of Long Fei Ye were all stunned by Long Fei Ye's identity.
The most shocked of all was Chu Tianyin, who was on the eastern border of Western Qin. He never imagined that the person he'd been working with for so long was actually the common enemy of the Fiend Clan and the Western Qin imperial family, the East Qin Dynasty!
He firmly believed that Gu Beiyue had no idea. Otherwise, Gu Beiyue would never work with Long Fei Ye! He only felt that Gu Beiyue had been used by Long Fei Ye. He sent several letters to Gu Beiyue, but he didn't know that Gu Beiyue would no longer receive them.
That night, Gu Beiyue and Mu Ling 'er returned from the Poison Sect's forbidden grounds. As soon as he learned of Long Fei Ye's identity, Gu rushed to Han Yunxi's door and pounded on it.
But when Han Yunxi opened the door, Gu's words were all stuck in his throat.
Should he tell Han Yunxi about Mute Granny?
How should he tell her? Long Fei Ye had lied about Mute Granny first, but he'd also lied to his Poison lass!
Would Long Fei Ye really be such a petty person? Would he be so despicable as to hide his identity and use Gu Beiyue?
Gu had always been clear about his likes and dislikes, but this was the first time he'd hesitated.
"Did you find Gu Beiyue?" Han Yunxi was only asking casually. She knew that if they'd found Gu Beiyue, Gu would've shouted all the way here.
Gu was silent for a long time before he said gently, "No, I … I just came to see you."
"You're tired too. Go rest."
Han Yunxi felt a little powerless. She was about to close the door when Luo Zuishan suddenly ran over and blocked it. "Esteemed wangfei, Old Man found out. The Duke of Qin isn't with the army! The one leading the troops is General Baili. When the battle started last night, the Baili Army claimed that the Duke of Qin was personally in command, but no one saw him after daybreak! The Ning Clan troops began to suspect that the Duke of Qin's identity is fake this afternoon, but the Baili Army still hasn't responded! "
Han Yunxi froze, then exclaimed, "You mean to say that Long Fei Ye isn't with the army?"
