Ding Peng's face turned red when he heard that. He could not help but recall what Blackie had said before he died.
"Little Peng, you're still a virgin, right?
"Promise me, Uncle Tie Zhu, don't die …
"Live well and ask your grandpa to find a wife for you. The taste of a woman is really wonderful …"
"That white thigh, that Dagao, tsk tsk …"
"…"
Ding Peng's eyes turned hot. He pushed the crowd aside and looked around the street as if he was looking for something.
Then, he saw a woman carrying a child in the distance. She was kneeling on a stretcher covered with white cloth.
Plop …
Ding Peng took a few steps forward and knelt heavily in front of the stretcher. Tears flowed out of his eyes.
If Big Blackie hadn't pushed him just now, the one lying on the stretcher would have been him!
His life had been exchanged for Blackie's.
Blackie had parents and children, and his entire family depended on him to make a living. However, he was willing to give up his life to save Ding Peng, who was single.
"Sister-in-law, my condolences …"
Ding Peng looked at the expressionless wife in front of him. His lips moved slightly, and he felt extremely guilty.
At this moment, a loud voice came from behind, "The Empress Dowager has arrived!"
Swoosh …
The crowd immediately knelt down.
Even Ding Peng and the woman were no exception.
Yun Yi looked at the corpse on the stretcher with a complicated expression and said to the woman, "The imperial court will be responsible for your family's future. Your child can study in the Royal Academy in the future, and his food and accommodation will be free …"
"Thank you, Empress Dowager …"
The woman's eyes finally had a glimmer of light.
The people around were extremely envious. They hated themselves for hesitating and not joining the army.
Yun Yi then looked at Yun Yi with a gentle gaze, "What's your name?"
She had a deep impression of Ding Peng.
Yun Yi had a deep impression of him. During the tragic battle earlier, the scene of Ding Peng, who had gone crazy because of Blackie's death, killing more than ten people attracted her attention.
"Empress … Empress Dowager, I … I am called Ding Peng …"
Ding Peng was extremely nervous.
'The Empress Dowager actually talked to me!
She even asked for my name!
'The Empress Dowager is so beautiful, like a fairy who has descended to the mortal world. That Goddess Ye and the Empress Dowager are really compatible.
He could not help but glance at Ye Chen next to Yun Yi. His eyes were filled with admiration.
The child in Immortal Ye's arms should be born from him and the Empress Dowager, right?
"Ding Peng …"
Yun Yi repeated the name several times, then nodded slightly. "Good name, I'll remember you. Go back and wait for the news."
She turned around and left with Ye Chen after saying that.
An hour later, when the clean-up work was in full swing, a fast horse passed through the crowded streets and went straight to the palace.
"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty!"
A man dismounted from the horse and panted heavily. "The Imperial Advisor is surrounded and is in grave danger. Please send troops to save him!"
With that, the man died on the spot.
The scene was silent.
The Imperial Tutor was surrounded!
Didn't that mean that the border was already on the verge of life and death? Once the enemy country's army of 500,000 broke through, it would be the most serious moment.
Yun Yi looked at Ye Chen with a pleading expression as if she was grasping at straws, "Mr. Ye?"
"Fine, I'll make another move!"
Ye Chen shook his head lightly. Subsequently, he set up a sword gleam and left under everyone's gaze.
He had a good impression of Qi Tiandao. Although he was not familiar with him, he was willing to consume his lifespan to deduce Su Yuhan's whereabouts for him the first time they met.
Even though he had a request, he seemed to be open and aboveboard. Moreover, Ye Chen had promised to protect the sect for three months.
Upon seeing this, many ministers praised sincerely, "Mr. Ye is truly a godly person …"
Yun Yi looked around and suddenly asked the old eunuch beside her, "Where's His Majesty?"
"His Majesty said … said that he's tired and needs to rest …" The old eunuch hesitated.
"At this moment of life and death, His Majesty can actually sleep …"
Yun Yi was getting more and more disappointed.
…
At the border of the Great Dynasty, at Tiger Xiong Pass.
The enemy country, the Qing Kingdom, led 500,000 troops to attack Tiger Xiong Pass. The Imperial Tutor, Qi Tiandao, led 200,000 troops to the south to rescue them.
The price of 200,000 against 500,000 was that the Great Dynasty failed to defend the city. The 200,000 troops were reduced to less than 50,000 troops, and they were forced to retreat.
At that moment, the flames of war had already spread into the pass. Smoke filled the city, and flames shot into the sky. Corpses piled up on the road.
In the air, a dozen figures formed a sword formation, surrounding an old man in a purple robe.
If one looked closely, they would realize that these figures all emitted the aura of a martial ancestor.
The leader was a middle-aged man in white. It was the Qing Kingdom's military advisor, Gu Jianqiu.
Gu Jianqiu slashed at the old man in the purple robe. As the sword gleam swept across, Qi Tiandao's expression changed slightly, and he retreated quickly.
Today, the No. 1 people of the two dynasties finally fought, and they were both martial kings.
"Boom …"
At the same time, the 12 figures around him shot out 12 sword gleams, sealing off Qi Tiandao's escape route.
"Boom …"
Qi Tiandao swept the horsetail whisk in his hand, but he realized that the 12 sword gleams were mutually reinforcing. Every time they were shattered, they would condense again in the blink of an eye.
Gu Jianqiu held his sword in the air and said with a faint smile, "Brother Qi, what do you think of my 12 Heavenly Star Sword Formation?"
The so-called 12 Heavenly Star Sword Formation was a formation formed by 12 martial ancestor level Sword Sons, with him as the sword formation's core.
This sword formation was filled with an extremely sharp attack aura. Even martial kings would not be able to get away with it.
"Gu Jianqiu, you've hidden it well!"
Qi Tiandao coughed violently, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. "In order to deal with me, you've secretly trained 12 Sword Sons who are at the level of five kings!"
"The Eight Kings have led a million troops to the capital of your great dynasty, and I've led 500,000 troops to hold you back."
Gu Jianqiu waved his hand gently, and the 12 Sword Sons dispersed. Only then did he say, "Brother Qi, your sect is completely finished this time. Why are you still struggling?"
"My sect has its own destiny. It's not something that the Qing Kingdom can destroy just because you want to." Qi Tiandao was like an old man with one foot in the grave, and his gaze was very calm.
His calmness made Gu Jianqiu secretly frown. Then, he seemed to have thought of something.
"That's right, I've forgotten someone. This person's name is Mad Southern Ye. Do you think that this person can come and save you?"
Speaking to this point, he could not help but reveal a look of pity. "I have the 12 Heavenly Cycle Star Sword Formation. Even if this Mad Southern Ye is a martial king, he can't save you. Give up."
"Cough, cough, cough …"
Qi Tiandao's aura was weak, but his thin and weak body did not move at all. "I believe in destiny. I believe in Mr. Ye!"
"Send the great Grand Imperial Advisor on his way!"
Gu Jianqiu bowed heavily.
As soon as he finished speaking, the 12 Sword Sons around him quickly changed their positions. The sword formation suddenly changed, and in the end, it actually turned into a giant sword that slashed toward Qi Tiandao.
"Previous emperors, I've tried my best!"
Qi Tiandao closed his eyes slightly.
This existence that had protected the sect for a thousand years was now an arrow at the end of its flight.
"If such a loyal person were born in the Qing Kingdom, perhaps I could still be friends with you. What a pity …"
Gu Jianqiu sighed softly.
Just as the giant light sword was about to slash Qi Tiandao's body, it suddenly stopped, as if a pair of invisible hands had grabbed it.
At the same time, an extremely calm voice suddenly exploded like a clap of thunder. "If you want to kill him, you have to first ask for my opinion!"
