Madam, please listen to my explanation.

Chapter 69 I Couldn't Control Myself
"Miss Zhao, did he... agree?"

Seeing Zhao Ruoxi walk out of the post station, Lin Sanlang, who had just finished feeding the horses, hurriedly stepped forward to ask her questions.

It is better to meet than to be famous.

When I saw those seven or eight beautifully dressed girls covering their faces and crying, running out of the inn in a panic.

He then confirmed that the renowned General An Qing was indeed inside.
I have to admit, my senior brother can now truly be described as having connections and influence that reach the heavens.
Along the way, everyone had already seen the overwhelming 'Earthly Rankings' being sent to all parts of the world.

'He slew a peak sixth-rank expert head-on with his sword, thus making it onto the list.'
He would never forget the utterly shocked expressions on the faces of his fellow disciples when they first heard the news.

no way.
This kind of important figure, who should only exist in legends, had actually lived with me quietly for more than ten years.
This is really hard to accept!
You should know that Master Ning Caixie is only at the fourth rank of the Soaring Realm!

Not to mention, this senior brother's methods are becoming increasingly unpredictable, as if there is nothing in the world that he doesn't know.

Zhao Ruoxi nodded and mounted her horse.

The mare's four legs were visibly trembling unnaturally, a sign that she had been traveling beyond her limits for too long and her body was already exhausted.

As a bright yellow talisman was affixed to its back, a sharp light suddenly shot out from the horse's eyes, and the whole horse looked much more energetic.

"Phew, sorry. Hang in there, we're almost there."

Zhao Ruoxi gently stroked the horse's back, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes.

She could tell that the foal probably didn't have much time left.

"Fine. You lecherous scoundrel, if you really die, I'll just compensate you tenfold or a hundredfold in the future."

"Hmm. For your meritorious service in supporting the emperor, I will appoint you as the Protector of the Horses of the Great Yan!"

He's been gone for so long, I wonder how he is doing in Kyoto.
If that bastard Zhao Jingqian were to demand Qi Yuxiao, how should he respond?

wrong
Thinking back to those few slutty and shameless women, could it be that he's currently enjoying the best of times with two women on his left and right?
"Big sister, did that person make any requests?"

Just as he was lost in thought, Xiao Yuan suddenly stepped forward, raised his head, and asked.

Ever since he heard that there was a war going on here, he had been eager to get involved.
Having practiced for so long, I've recently made rapid progress and am eager to test my skills myself.

Who says the Hehuan Sect's techniques are beneath public scrutiny?
Didn't the eldest brother train all the way up to eighth place on the Earth Ranking?
"He ordered me to guard the official road from Bianzhou to Qu County for three days."

"!!!"

"Miss Zhao, you mustn't!"

"Your Highness, think twice!"

The members of the Hehuan Sect all spoke up to stop them.

Lin Sanlang, his face grave, stepped forward and said:

“Miss Zhao, as our senior brother said, we should hide and wait for your brother’s support.”
At that time, even if he has a large army, whether or not An Qing cooperates will no longer be up to him!
"But Miss Zhao, you absolutely must not put yourself in any danger!"

Zhao Ruoxi remained completely unmoved, simply shaking her head.

"If it were anything else, it would be fine."

Along the way, all those with some wealth and influence were fleeing towards the Central Plains.

But the people are still here!

As a princess of a nation, how could I stand idly by and watch Qu County be trampled under the hooves of enemy troops!

Her words were forceful and resolute. She waved her hand to stop the crowd from speaking further, and said firmly:
"Let's hold on for now and act according to our capabilities."

I promise you, if I am unable to do so, I will run away immediately!

"You don't need to come along. Just throw some talismans from a distance. After all, I'll need your help to cover my retreat later."

"Your Highness is joking."

Lin Sanlang gave a wry smile: "Our mission is to protect His Highness."

"If I cannot die before His Highness, how can I face my senior brother?"

Zhao Ruoxi's gaze swept across everyone's faces.

Surprisingly, not a single person showed any sign of backing down.

She smiled slightly.

Who would have thought that Deng Tu Zi actually has a group of good junior brothers!
Without realizing it, her tense mood eased a little.

Just then, they saw four strong men carrying a huge wooden box approaching from not far away.

Their steps were synchronized and slow, each step seeming to carry an immense weight.

'Clang—'

The four men went straight to Zhao Ruoxi and placed the wooden box on the ground. The leader cupped his hands and said:
"Is it Miss Zhao, and Brother Sanlang?"

"Exactly!"

Lin Sanlang hurriedly returned the greeting, but he was already completely dumbfounded.

“Brother Sanlang, there is no need to be confused. I am Chen Xinghe, the Southwest Branch Master of Cangjian Manor. I saw your portrait before I came here.”

Sanlang was still confused, but he still smiled and nodded.

"This is something that Young Master Xu ordered us to deliver. Please open it and take a look, Miss Zhao."

Zhao Ruoxi's eyebrows and eyes are curved.

So mysterious and able to foresee the future, she knew that this must be the work of that lecherous man!

But I didn't hear wrong, did I?
Young Master Xu?

Searching her memories for that magnanimous manor lord, she suddenly remembered that he seemed to have a penchant for adopting many sons.
You surnamed Xu, are you serious?

He shook his head, forcefully lifted the wooden crate lid, and was immediately pushed back several steps by a sharp force.

She looked closely and saw a set of gleaming silver armor inside the box!

"This was crafted by the top craftsmen at the Qinglu Mountain headquarters using rare materials such as meteorite iron from the Nine Heavens and dragon tendons and bones! Furthermore, my godfather personally supervised and guided the entire crafting process."
Due to the scarcity of materials, it is absolutely impossible to forge a second one in the world!
Its defensive capabilities are unparalleled; attacks from those below the sixth-grade Celestial Realm are simply unable to penetrate its defenses.

"It is currently unclaimed; it only awaits Miss Zhao's blood to be applied, after which it can be taken for my own use."

Chen Xinghe stepped forward, head held high and chest puffed out.

His pride in the armor was evident in his words.

The members of the Hehuan Sect couldn't help but gasp in shock!
Those below the sixth rank cannot break through the defense.
Such precious armor is something I've never even heard of!

In other words, wearing this and charging into ordinary battle formations would be like entering an empty field.
Leaving aside the fact that such a treasure requires a great deal of financial and material resources...
The mere fact that it could be transported from Qinglu Mountain in Yuzhou to this place in such a short time is nothing short of a fantasy!
The eldest brother's methods are becoming increasingly unfathomable!

Without further hesitation, Zhao Ruoxi immediately drew out the Imperial Sword and cut her finger.

As a drop of blood fell, a bright light shone from inside the wooden box.

The next moment, a streak of light shot out from the box and rushed straight towards Zhao Ruoxi.

In a flash of light and shadow, the entire suit of armor was automatically donned.

The plume of his helmet fluttered in the wind, and his crimson cloak looked as if it were stained with blood.

The faceplate, the same color as the main body of the armor, covered the face, making the whole thing look not heavy, but rather light and agile.

Everyone stared in disbelief.

The person in front of me seemed to have become a stranger. Every move he made exuded a heroic and martial aura that made it hard to look directly at him!

Zhao Ruoxi casually twirled her sword and quickly got used to it.

Only then did they realize that the armor that the four people had struggled to lift together was now as light as a feather when they wore it, and they could hardly feel its weight!

"Hmph, you lecher, at least you still have some conscience!"

She is in a good mood.

Wearing the armor felt like that person was right beside me, never having left.

This feeling of being remembered and protected even when separated by thousands of miles.
not bad!
"Ga-ga-ga-"

A sharp cawing of a crow drew everyone's attention.

Suddenly, a rift appeared to tear open in mid-air, and a long, narrow, sharp-beaked raven flew out and landed on the silver-armored man's shoulder.

Zhao Ruoxi naturally knew what this was.

She removed the note tied to the raven's leg and slowly unfolded it:

"Ruoxi, it's as if I'm seeing you in person."

"I've missed you terribly since I last saw you."

I have reached an agreement with Master Wu. Hidden Sword Manor will send 1,500 warhorses and 3,000 second- to third-rank martial artists to the post station to meet you.

Xu Jinhuan.

Zhao Ruoxi was overjoyed once again.

With this power, we can
Just then, I noticed a line of smaller print below:
(This power is for self-defense; do not be greedy for quick success or act rashly, putting yourself at risk.)

If you die, countless women in the capital will be waiting to take advantage of you.

I am of limited knowledge and ability, and I fear I may not be able to control myself. Please remember this well.
