This was her purpose. Now that the change of power between Qin and Zhou has been swept away, the national situation and Di Rong in Hanoi are no longer hidden concerns. The only thing left is the invasion of foreign enemies. What she has to do is to dominate the Warring States Period on behalf of her lord.

Naturally, it is inevitable to take action against the remaining powerful countries.

She asked herself that she couldn't be so shameless. While accepting the convenience they provided her to strengthen the Qin State, their blessing and tolerance, she also naturally occupied their power and swallowed up their country. This was the same as marrying for the sake of her future.

What’s the difference between a rich and powerful wife using her natal family’s money to raise a Phoenix man who is her “true love”?

After everything is said and done, she can do whatever she wants from now on. She is not afraid of losing, nor is she afraid of being enemies with everyone. Even if they show their true abilities, she will try her best. Who will this world belong to in the end?

Just rely on your own ability to fight...

"There is only one King of Zhao and King of Chu in the world. Talking about feelings would be too hurtful to the country. After all, we are not alone in this world. Behind us is a country with thousands of citizens. I can't retreat, and neither can you."

." She looked towards the horizon, where the red clouds reflected the moon-white maple forest, and the temple on the mountaintop looked cold and desolate.

"So, this is the last time I will meet you in a personal capacity. From now on, I will be the Grand Tutor of the Qin State and the Supervisor of the State, and you will be the King of Zhao and the King of Chu."

She realized that after dusk, it would get dark.

"Chen Baiqi, since you have declared war on Gu, Gu Ruo seems a bit cowardly if you don't fight. You think the way you were treated before was too gentle. From now on, you will only act according to Gu's wishes, if this is what you want.

"

Hou Qing seemed to have calmed down at this moment, but his eyes were so dark that no light could be seen. He smiled elegantly, which did not make people feel warm and close. Only his eyes that were cold to the bone stared at her little face that was as beautiful as hibiscus water. Today she

The lips were pursed with vermilion, and there were flowers blooming in the fairyland. They were so beautiful that the flowers were so beautiful, but the beauty hurt his eyes.

Chen Baiqi sighed in his heart and said: "You are the Queen, the lord of Zhao. You should act according to your own ideas. You should not compromise your pride for anyone."

She said this sincerely, she wanted them to separate and he could live the way he wanted and not change for anyone.

At this time, the setting sun cast long shadows, the sky was blood red, and the sky quickly darkened, even their faces and expressions were hidden.

The people in Xianyang City were still unaware of all the changes that had happened in Fenglin. According to the original plan, they set off the Kongming lanterns in unison and sent their blessings to the sky so that the gods in the sky and the Taifu on the earth could see the sunset.

See their thoughts.

The cheerful bustle in the city merged into a hot tide, and patches of Kongming lanterns floated up into the sky. The black stars were dotted with bright pearls, and the lanterns like light strips were blown to the sky above the maple forest. In the dark forest, because of the sky,

The light strips flickered and became brighter, and the firelight's light shone on their faces, making them glow with yellow warmth.

They inadvertently looked up. At that moment, everyone's emotions seemed to be a little out of control. Perhaps it was because the darkness would always pull out the deepest side of people's hearts, and the sudden light would expose everything.

"What's this?"

The cool wind blew through the hair on his temples, and he asked in a cool voice.

The light couldn't make out the shadows behind his eyes.

Chu Cangyue also looked up at the sky. The vast sky lanterns looked very much like the Moon Lake lotus lanterns she had seen before. Several times in the dream, he gently closed his eyes and trembled his lips.

"It's just a farce, why is it worthy of being celebrated by gods and Buddhas all over the sky?"

It seems that they know why these sky lanterns are set off, but they would rather not know.

"Shoot it down."

The orders were given in unison, one as cold as ice and snow, and the other as careless, lazy and gentle.

The two armies, who had been suffocating in this atmosphere for a long time, became excited when they heard this. They raised their weapons, bows, arrows and spears respectively, aimed at the sky and shot down the Kongming lanterns passing over their heads one by one.

The pierced Kongming Lantern ignites when it encounters fire, and the roaring flames fall from the sky like falling fire, dotting the darkness all over the ground.

The stars fell into sparks at their feet, but in just a few seconds, the Kongming Lantern was a blessing to the whole city. Their number was immeasurable, and even their efforts in a short while could not wipe it out.

Chen Baiqi never stopped these two people from beginning to end, but was a little speechless for such childish behavior that could not be stopped. She looked away: "So what if you shoot them down, what happened cannot be changed."

"Chen Baiqi, I have never regretted anything I have done. The only thing is that I was too soft-hearted to keep you here that day, otherwise you would not have the chance to tell me today..." Hou Qing smiled with unclear emotions.

The voice continued: "What happened cannot be changed."

Chen Baiqi also thought about the scene in Zhao State that day. It was her trick that led Chen's father to escape smoothly. Would he have no backup plan at that time? Not necessarily, but he still compromised, fearing that in the end the fish would be dead and the net would be broken, and he wanted to give them

Leave a little room for "mutual love" and don't overdo things.

But in the end, it was she who got the job done.

She admits that she is quite a scumbag sometimes, but she is not heartless. She is not unaware of his devotion and changes to her, but she cannot be tempted or like her. She cannot escape because of the heavy shell that is weighing on her. What can she do?

I can't even give it to him...

Chen Baiqi finally met his eyes, those long eyes that locked her tightly in the pupils. She opened her lips and asked uncontrollably: "What if..." Her voice stopped suddenly midway.

Next, because her peripheral vision caught Chu Cangyue watching her quietly behind Hou Qing, the light hit his face, and the lower half of his face was covered with shadows. I don’t know when he stopped looking at the Kongming Lantern.

But looking at her.

His face was expressionless, but the way he looked at her was so deep and quiet, yet it made people feel the loneliness and emptiness contained in it.

"What do you want to say?" Hou Qing couldn't wait for her next words. He somehow felt that what she said next was very important to him, so he stepped forward and asked, "What if?"

As soon as Chen Baiqi touched Chu Cangyue's calm eyes, he suddenly woke up, but it was difficult to continue talking.

what if?

She changed her words and said: "Now that we have finished talking, please leave. There is great joy in the city today. The city gate will be closed for an hour. We can catch up if we set off now, otherwise we will alarm the Qin soldiers."

It is difficult for you men and horses to leave Qin safely."

She broke away her hand and turned around. Guard Qin behind her stepped forward to fend him off.

The more Tou looked behind, the more breathless he became. Especially when he saw "Chen Rui" was about to leave, he took a bow and shot an arrow in front of Qin Wei. The tip of the arrow shot straight into Qin Wei's chest with a threatening aura. Qin Wei felt the danger and was at a loss.

His face turned pale, but he couldn't escape at all.

"Toru!" Ya exclaimed.

How dare he? He couldn't intervene in this situation at all. It would be troublesome if anyone was angered.

At this time, a hand was placed on his shoulder and he was pulled away in time. The arrow missed and shot straight into the steps of the wedding platform behind. The arrow filled with zhenqi was so powerful that more than ten wooden steps were destroyed.

Most of it collapsed.

"Thank you, Master, for saving my life."

Qin Wei, who had narrowly escaped death, took in a breath of air when he saw this horrific scene. He felt that if the Taifu hadn't come back and pulled him back just now, he would have had his chest and abdomen ruptured.

Chen Baiqi asked them to leave further, then raised his eyes and glanced coolly in Toru's direction.

He was dressed in silver armor and pear tree, fair and handsome. Although he felt the pressure from Chen Baiqi's glance, his face turned pale, he still raised his chin arrogantly, but he couldn't avoid sneering: "What the hell are they?

Dare you stand in front of my lord?"

He didn't dare to do anything to her because she was the one the lord loved, but if anyone dared to stand between the lord and her and make the lord uncomfortable, he would risk his life to stop him and kill the gods when he met them.

"Do you want to fight with me?"

The unusually calm voice actually sent chills down the spine.

His face stiffened.

Ya was also anxious.

Hou Qing walked over at this time, blocking Chen Baiqi's high-pressure sight of Tou, and asked: "Then you want to fight with me?"

He looked at her, his eyes were like a piece of warm jade soaked in water that seemed to be able to tolerate everything. They were also like clear lake water with microwaves under the spring sun, making people unable to help but soak in it.

Of course, all this is just an illusion.

Tohru's pressure suddenly eased and he couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was moved and excited by his lord's protection, and cheered in his heart, "Well done, my lord!"

Chen Baiqi looked at Houqing, his momentum froze, and then fell silent.

Like a ferocious beast that has just exposed its teeth and encounters a natural enemy. It doesn't want to face it. It wraps up its plush body and rolls into a ball, covering its eyebrows and eyes, and it becomes a harmless and innocent little animal that cannot be seen.

When Hou Qing saw her like this, he was both angry and amused. The anger and resentment towards her that had been soaked in water also strangely dissipated.

Although he knew her attitude early, he still refused to give up and said: "Come with me. If you want this world, I will give it to you. You are not the Qin Kingdom."

She glanced at him and shook her head: "No, I must be from Qin."

If you have accepted the Lord, how can you leave?

He didn't understand, and she couldn't explain to him the cause and effect.

What she told was the truth, but it was not the same thing in other people's ears. Seeing her choosing someone else so stubbornly, the warmth that had just risen in Hou Qing's eyes suddenly turned cold again.

"What if I...have to take you away?" He lowered his voice, and the magnetic and lazy voice was suddenly dyed with a dangerous tone.

The army behind him also began to show signs of getting ready to move, and they could charge into battle for him as soon as he gave the order.

Chen Baiqi also saw his seriousness, and he planned to take her away at all costs.

She had also long expected that there might be a fight, so she had made enough preparations in advance, but she didn't want to meet him in battle here until the last moment.

Seeing that she remained silent, but sometimes silence means the answer, Hou Qing still asked: "Are you determined to stay in Qin?"

He asked again, insisting that she answer it in person.

Chen Baiqi took a breath and said clearly: "Yes."

He was about to step forward, but he saw Chu Cangyue, who had been standing behind, walking over and blocking the way between Chen Baiqi and Hou Qing.
