I've never felt happy to become an immortal.

Chapter 89 The first time has been taken away by Her Royal Highness the Princess

And take back the Huai River

As Wan Hua Gu's incarnation retreated.

Although the masters of the Northern and Southern Dynasties also arrived at the scene, there was no need or possibility for them to continue fighting.

Grandmasters are all strategic-level combat forces. If one is used up, one less will be used. Even private sparring is rare. Once so many grandmasters come into battle, it will inevitably be a national war.

Outside Yumen Pass, blood flowed like a river.

There is no need to open another Huaihe battlefield now.

Moreover, the Northern Dynasty did need various goods from the Southern Dynasty.

It was already embarrassing that Ye Bushou failed to steal people. If they continue to do so, the Northern Dynasty will definitely suffer greater losses.

Furthermore... the court of the Northern Dynasty itself was also quite complicated, and the Grand Tutor's lineage could not suppress all opposition forces.

Because the foundation of the Northern Dynasties was not the people, but the five major factions!
Anyway, the incident is over.

Both sides need to go back and clean up the mess.

In the Northern Dynasty, because Yuwen Jie died, he became the best scapegoat.

As for the Southern Dynasty, let me talk about it in detail.

……

The masters of the Northern Dynasty retreated for many reasons.

But the timing of their departure was somewhat coincidental.

As soon as Bai Xuan killed Wan Huagu's incarnation with a sword, they stopped and did not approach anymore. They did not stay for long and just left.

As quickly as it came, it can go as quickly as it came.

In the eyes of those who were not in the know, it seemed as if Bai Xuan's sword had frightened these masters, and they ran away in a hurry.

There is a certain deviation in understanding.

Bai Xuan watched the masters of the Northern Dynasty leave. He breathed a sigh of relief and continued to fight. He could not withstand even one move and was now at the end of his strength.

The previous two days and one night of traveling, identifying assassins, breaking through barriers... these were all small things, not very physically demanding, and were a relatively long warm-up exercise for him.

But the fight with Yuwen Jie was another matter.

Plus the sword he just struck with all his true energy.

He had indeed completely squandered all his energy.

Not a drop left.

After making sure that the other party had gone far away, he no longer pretended to be tough. He simply loosened his hands, let go of the sword, fell on his back, and fell directly back into the Huai River.

After hearing the splash sound of someone falling into the water, the people around reacted quickly.

"Oh, Mr. Bai has fallen!" (crying)

"Hurry up and save people!"

"What are you all still standing there for?"

"I'll help him!"

Before the flustered Southern Dynasty masters went into the water to rescue people, they saw Bai Xuan floating up again, and another person also floated up at the same time.

Jiang Lianxing floated to the surface of the Huai River, used the Frost Sky Qi, grabbed a piece of driftwood, and the surrounding area solidified into ice, which became his foothold.

In the moonlight, her unmasked facial features were exposed to everyone's sight.

There were not many people present, but they were all shocked.

The common people may not recognize this face, but they all know it.

The masters who came here all had a background in the imperial court, or in the military, or had military honors, otherwise they would not set out immediately without receiving an order from the imperial court.

"Greetings, His Royal Highness Prince Yun!"

A grandmaster who was over fifty years old immediately saluted.

The people around reacted and confirmed that they had not recognized the wrong person.

"Meet King Yun!"

"I have met His Highness!"

The Grandmaster does not have to kneel before the imperial power, but Prince Yun holds a high position of power and influence. He is the younger sister of the Southern Chu Empress and the crown prince who shares the world with her.

Among them, the two famous detectives, Hu Xianfeng and Pao Duantui, who came in a hurry, had the most complicated emotions.

No matter how stupid they were, they understood at this moment that Wuqing, who had worked with them for many years, was actually the Prince Yun, the crown prince of the Southern Dynasty.

No wonder Yuwen Jie was willing to pay such a huge price to kidnap her.

If it succeeds, Nanchu will face a huge disaster, which will be a disaster on the level of sending the crown prince to marry a foreign prince.

Jiang Lianxing was sitting on the driftwood, exhausted. She lowered her head, her gaze falling on Bai Xuan's pale yet handsome face. She brushed aside his wet hair with her fingers and instructed, "Don't say anything now. Let's talk about it when we get back."

"Yes!"

Several masters worked together to push the ice floe back to the Huai River ferry.

They noticed Jiang Lianxing holding Bai Xuan. These old men exchanged glances with each other, seemed to have reached some consensus, and turned their heads away in unison, pretending that they saw nothing.

Jiang Lianxing was not worried about these people gossiping, or rather, she did not have the energy to care about it.

At this moment, she was weaker than ever before, but she was just trying hard to pretend that nothing was wrong.

If she hadn't been holding the young man in her arms, she would probably have fainted from exhaustion.

There was a hint of bitterness on Jiang Lianxing's lips.

...I never think that I am nobler than ordinary people, I just think that I am a disaster.

...It has been like this since the beginning. No matter who is close to us or who has good intentions towards us, they will eventually face disaster.

...Many of those people are already dead, and even if some are still alive, they have to stay away for protection.

...You must not die.

...I owe too much, how can I pay it back?

Favors are the hardest to repay, especially a life-saving favor like this.

He saved not only himself, but also half of Nan Chu.

But Jiang Lianxing felt that he probably didn't care about these things. This person didn't even care about life and death. Favors or hatred were like passing clouds to him. Although his personality was mature beyond his years, his kiss was very clumsy, which made him look very youthful.

Jiang Lianxing, who thought of this unconsciously, recalled the two kisses underwater, one active and one passive.

Both are unforgettable experiences, the first time was unfamiliar, the second time was shy.

Prince Yun's cheeks felt slightly hot.

"Your Highness, are you cold?" Paoban asked with concern, "Your face is red from the cold."

"Shut up! Turn around!"

……

The ferry had been destroyed by fire.

The camps where the army is stationed are also not suitable for accommodation.

The final choice was the nearby Nanpengcheng. The family of military merit here was surnamed Lu, and their ancestor was the founding marquis of Southern Chu.

The Lu family is full of loyal and brave people. They are the best at naval battles and naval training in Southern Chu. Among the masters who came to help was the defender of Nanpengcheng.

The Lu family felt honored to be able to welcome Prince Yun to stay at their home. Even the old lady of the Lu family got up in the middle of the night and came to the door to greet him after hearing the news.

The best doctor in the city was immediately invited.

Jiang Lianxing fainted as soon as she arrived at the Lu family, which scared everyone around her.

On the contrary, Bai Xuan woke up just after the doctor from Xuanhumen left.

This time I didn’t open the door and go back home directly because I had some harvest to count.

When he just woke up, he noticed that there was another person in his room.

"Who?"

"..."

The man didn't respond, but just walked closer in silence.

Bai Xuan did not feel any murderous intent, and realized that Jiang Chengzi was held in the other party's hand.

In the dark room, there is a pair of bright red eyes, like a flickering will-o'-the-wisp, which is frightening.

"...It's you." Bai Xuan guessed who it was.

"You are indeed very courageous. You are not afraid at this time." Tiexue Yanluo sat on the chair, his voice having the texture of a blade.

"Aren't you one of us? What's so scary?" Bai Xuan asked calmly.

"One of our own...ha~" The Iron-Blooded Yama sneered without comment.

"I said something wrong?" Bai Xuan asked, "Aren't you here to save people?"

"Ning Jianshuang begged me, so I came... but I want to kill the culprit even more." Tiexue Yanluo said: "It's a good thing for Mr. Song to die in your hands."

"In this matter, the Jiang family and the Ningguo Mansion are both victims. You can be considered to have saved the emperor this time, and your contribution will be counted." Bai Xuan lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling. "I believe that the court will soon compensate us, and Ning Jianshuang should be able to successfully inherit the title of Duke."

Tiexue Yanluo drummed his fingers on the table: "And then?"

"What then?"

"You didn't mention yourself." The pair of bright red eyes locked onto Bai Xuan: "What do you want?"

"I don't need anything."

"Hypocrisy!" Tiexue Yanluo didn't believe it at all: "Are you trying to say that you have no desires or demands?"

"Of course not." Bai Xuan said, "Just this one trip is enough to make back the money."

"You nearly lost your life on this trip. And you thought you'd make a profit? What do you mean by making a profit? You're satisfied with just a few hugs from that princess? Haha... Jiang Lianxing is indeed stunningly beautiful. She almost captivated the whole country this time, but she's only in the top ten in the Nanchu beauty rankings. She's still a step away from being considered one of the most beautiful women in the world."

"What a mess." Bai Xuan frowned: "Whether she is pretty or not, what does it have to do with me?"

Tiexue Yanluo suddenly took a step closer and stared into Bai Xuan's eyes: "Do you dare to say that you don't have any improper thoughts about her?"

"You might as well say that she has improper thoughts about me." Bai Xuan looked back directly.

Their eyes locked for a moment before Iron-Blooded Yan Luo sat up straight on the edge of the bed. "Strange... Are you really eighteen? How can you say such a thing? Isn't it easy for your blood to get too excited at this age, fighting for control with your lower body?"

"I'm already past that age." Bai Xuan said, "Besides, all my energy has long been used up in killing..."

He sighed quietly, "This time, the killing was truly satisfying."

Tiexue Yanluo was stunned, turned around and asked, "So what you mean by return on investment is..."

"I've made up for it." Bai Xuan's tone was as if he was treating someone to a meal: "However many innocent people they killed, I will kill ten times more."

In one sentence, the smell of blood filled the air.

Tell a hell of a joke.

A: I killed ten enemies!
B: That’s amazing. What about yesterday?
The Iron-Blooded Yama was silent for a few seconds: "I think the nickname Yama should be given to you. You are the real Yama King."

"Not really." Bai Xuan said, "I'm a pacifist. I don't like killing."

"..."

"It's mainly because killing is too barbaric a way to solve problems. I generally prefer to use words to convince others, unless they don't understand."

"Then why don't you become a civil servant, but practice swordsmanship?"

"To make sense, of course."

"Can swords also reason?"

"The sword cannot reason, the sword is reason."

"That makes sense." Tiexue Yanluo suddenly stood up. "I admire you a little. Ning Jianshuang seems to have some misunderstandings about you. She thinks you are forced into all kinds of troubles, but it seems to me that you are clearly enjoying it."

Bai Xuan was about to deny it when his mouth was covered.

Tiexue Yanluo continued, "As the adopted son of the Jiang family, you are qualified to learn Jiang Shenlong's moves. With your comprehension, it is entirely possible for you to go further."

"How about it, do you want to learn the 'Divine Dragon Prison Suppression Technique'?"

"I did want to learn it before." Bai Xuan declined.

"Then why not now?" Tiexue Yanluo raised his eyebrows.

"Because..." Bai Xuan activated the Frost Jade Technique: "My virginity has been taken away by Her Royal Highness the Princess. Perhaps I will never experience joy or sorrow again in this life."
