"Shi Muyuan, you're really risking your life! Do you know where this is? How dare you barge in with so many people? Aren't you afraid that I'll make sure you never leave this place alive?"
The woman sitting in the carriage slowly stepped out. She was dressed in a pure white dress. The moment she got off the carriage, she seemed like a celestial maiden who had descended to the mortal world.
Such an enemy made Yue Fei even more respectful. Why? Why did she seem to be able to obtain better things with just a raise of her hand while he had to struggle so hard to get what he had?
Why was this woman always so lucky? Thinking of this, Concubine Rui became even more unwilling.
Shi Muyuan slightly raised her head. Even though the other woman was standing on the city wall, her aura was much weaker. This satisfied the young girl.
As a woman who had traveled from a new era, she should have such a temperament.
Thinking of this, she raised what she thought was a beautiful smile.
"So, sister, are you satisfied with this gift? I heard that you're about to take control of the Western Regions. So, I'm here in a hurry to give you a present. My subordinates may be a bit rough, but it's just because they're impatient."
"You!" Concubine Rui covered her chest and almost fainted from anger.
"You're dreaming! I've already had this palace gate reinforced. Without my permission, you won't be able to get past this wall today."
As soon as she finished speaking, there was still a smug look on Concubine Rui's face. But the next moment, she was immediately slapped in the face.
The so - called reinforced city gate was just rammed a few times by some generals and then collapsed to the ground. Rolling dust filled the air, as if mocking Concubine Rui's arrogance.
Seeing this scene, Concubine Rui finally couldn't hold it in anymore. She kicked Lord Zhang, who was standing beside her, hard in the chest.
Yes, it was Lord Zhang she had asked to reinforce the gate. At first, she had this idea just in case.
She never thought that when something really happened, the gate would be so flimsy.
"You useless wretch! What on earth is going on? Didn't I tell you to reinforce the city gate? I allocated so much silver, and you can't even fix a single gate properly?"
Lord Zhang swallowed hard, feeling that his neck was now under threat.
"Your Highness, please calm down. It's all a misunderstanding. Now, the most important thing for us is to leave quickly. We mustn't be caught by the people of the Great Liang. Otherwise, we'll have no chance of making a comeback."
He would never tell the woman in front of him that in fact, he had embezzled all the silver. Otherwise, this woman would surely kill him in public.
Just thinking about this woman's cruelty, Lord Zhang had already started to think in his mind about the most suitable way to escape.
However, someone was one step ahead of him.
Qiao Meng looked at the person lying on the ground coldly, with disgust on her face. She threw the knife in her hand to one side.
"Your Highness, hurry up and leave! Their people should be coming up soon. Let the others hold them off first. The people of the Great Liang must have been targeting you all along."
Concubine Rui knew this well. She followed Qiao Meng and was about to retreat. But just as the two of them had just lifted their feet, they ran into the Zhao siblings.
The Zhao siblings' eyes were blood - red. They rushed up with their weapons in hand.
"Concubine Rui! We haven't even settled our scores properly yet. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
"Let's do it next time. I just suddenly remembered that I have some important matters to attend to."
She rolled to the side. Even her hairpin was in a mess, but she just barely managed to avoid this fatal move.
"Your Highness is just afraid of dying at our hands and then having no chance to fulfill your ambitions, right? Today, the two of us are going to see how else you can act."
Their moves became more and more sharp. Concubine Rui had no choice but to push all the people around her forward to block the fatal moves for her.
In just a blink of an eye, there were already many corpses lying on the ground.
Concubine Rui accidentally looked back and saw Shi Muyuan not far away, looking at this side with a smile on her face and eating snacks. It looked like she was watching a circus performance.
She felt greatly insulted. According to her character, she definitely wouldn't let the person who was laughing at her live well.
So, while Qiao Meng was blocking for her, she rushed towards the young girl.
"Shi Muyuan, even if I die today, I'll drag you down with me."
"Sure. Then give it a try and see if you have the ability."
Shi Muyuan clapped her hands, and suddenly a roar rang out around.
At first, Concubine Rui didn't pay much attention. She just thought it might be the voice of one of the generals.
But in just a moment, this thought in her mind was overturned.
No one knew where a large number of poisonous snakes suddenly came from. Roughly counting, there were at least a hundred of them. These poisonous snakes rushed up the wall one after another and pounced on the generals. For a while, it was endless.
Such a scene would make anyone's scalp tingle.
On the other hand, after hearing the roar, all the generals of the Great Liang retreated. They very consciously handed this battlefield over to the poisonous snakes and the Western Regions.
Before, they had thought these poisonous snakes were a bit annoying and terrifying. But after this battle, the generals of the Great Liang thought these poisonous snakes were quite cute.
Concubine Rui never thought they would come up with such a move. Her heart tightened, and it was too late to retreat.
Qiao Meng was the fastest to react. She quickly threw the dagger in her hand and directly cut the poisonous snake that was attacking Concubine Rui into two pieces.
"Your Highness, there's no time to lose. Leave quickly. We can't stay here anymore."
Concubine Rui was unwilling. Her eyes widened angrily: "Are we just going to watch that bitch be so proud? Don't you want to avenge your whole family now?"
"Not at this time. If we lose our lives, not to mention avenging our hatred, we won't even have a chance as ghosts."
There was no other way. Under her persuasion, Concubine Rui finally left with a few trustworthy people.
Soon, the streets of the Western Regions' capital were filled with the generals of the Great Liang.
The King of the Western Regions was sitting slumped on the ground, completely stunned. All this had happened in just half an hour, and he didn't know how these people had reached the capital.
"I've already arranged for the border generals to guard well. How did you get here?"
"Tsk. It seems that the King of the Western Regions doesn't know his subordinates at all."
Shi Muyuan stroked the rabbit's fur and sat on the rabbit's back, enjoying herself.
At this moment, she was more like a queen looking down on the world.
"Aren't you curious about how, since there were people placed by Concubine Rui all around you, you were able to gather those ministers and plan this for so long without anyone noticing? You still owe me a thank - you."
The King of the Western Regions blinked his eyes and finally understood.
