Teasing the First Dragon at the Start

The boulder rolled down towards the convoy below with tremendous force.

The horses were startled and neighed, shaking the reins around their necks, but they could not break free. They were hit by rolling stones, and carriages were overturned on the spot.

In an instant, the long queue was cut off, and people were unable to move forward.

"Watch out, there's an ambush..."

The few remaining guards around the First Emperor's chariot drew their long swords and stood in front of it, trying to cover the chariot's retreat to a safe place.

however……

Dozens of people suddenly jumped out of the woods behind them, each carrying a crossbow and firing at them with a series of rapid bursts.

The chilling arrows swept past like a torrential rain, and the guards surrounding the carriage fell in unison like harvested wheat.

The coachman, who was sitting on the shaft of the carriage, also clutched the arrow in his neck and fell to the ground.

The First Emperor's carriage came to a sudden stop.

"Big Hammer, it's up to you now." Ji Liang looked at the burly strongman beside him.

"Hehe, just watch me."

The burly man untied the iron chains, removed the heavy hammer from his body, gripped the chains tightly with both hands, and spun the hammer, which was as big as half a person's body, making a chilling whistling sound. Like a meteor, it smashed straight down towards the carriage.

"boom!"

The carriage was instantly smashed to pieces. A figure dressed in a black dragon robe was hit squarely by the hammer and flew out like a cannonball, crashing through two trees before slamming heavily against a stone wall with a loud "bang".

"Haha, this tyrant is doomed."

The burly man couldn't help but laugh when he saw that he had hit his target.

A smile couldn't help but appear in Ji Liangfeng's eyes. The hatred that had been suppressed in his heart for many years was finally resolved today.

What Prince Dan and Jing Ke wanted to do but couldn't, they have accomplished for them today.

She walked slowly to the First Emperor's body, where his chest was completely collapsed, wanting to see if he was still breathing. But when she reached out to touch him, she suddenly froze.

The person dressed in a black dragon robe was not a woman, but a man with rough hands and a pockmarked face.

"Chirp!"

A chilling arrow flashed past, leaving a shallow wound on Ji Liang's thigh.

"What...what's going on?"

Ji Liang clutched the wound on his leg, enduring the excruciating pain with clenched teeth, and looked up.

In the distance, a female general dressed in black armor and accompanied by her guards stood coldly watching them.

"Just as His Majesty said, this substitute is a good thing. It can travel the world and also lure out remnants like you."

"This... how is this possible? The First Emperor always personally toured the world, why would he suddenly become a stand-in?" Ji Liang gritted his teeth.

While she was angry, she also felt a sense of confusion.

Why do my plans always encounter unexpected events? It's as if the First Emperor had a wise sage by his side who could always see through my plans one step ahead.

"Damn it... If I find out who you are, I will definitely not let you off easily." Ji Liang gritted his teeth.

"Hmph, do you think you can leave now?"

The female general of the Great Xia Dynasty sneered and waved her hand, ordering the soldiers behind her, who were holding long spears, to capture the group of rebels.

"Mr. Ji Liang, you must leave quickly, we'll stop them."

The strongman was shot in the chest with an arrow. Knowing that his injury was too severe and he wouldn't be able to stay still for long, he gritted his teeth and led the people around him to rush forward, hoping to buy Ji Liang time to escape.

Ji Liang felt a sense of confusion. Now that he was being hunted down and had nowhere to go, who would help him?

Suddenly, the image of a young man in a white robe flashed into her mind. As if he had made up his mind, he clutched the wound on his leg and staggered as he fled into the mountains.

Chapter 47 Zhengjie Sacrifices Herself to Make Hay

Night was falling.

As Bai Su was packing up her stall and heading home, she saw a faint light in the distance as she passed through the courtyard. She took off her shoes and walked toward the room next door.

Upon entering, Bai Su saw a plump woman sitting at a table. On the table was a pot of plum wine being cooked, and several empty jars were scattered haphazardly on the floor.

It was Sister Zheng, who was still awake.

She sat upright at the table, her long, slender legs pressed together, the thin fabric outlining the rounded, firm curves of her thighs.

She seemed to have drunk quite a bit, her eyes were slightly glazed with intoxication, and even her collar was slightly damp.

As for Hu Yi, he had long since drunk himself into unconsciousness and lay on the ground asleep.

Bai Su looked at Zheng Jie with some surprise: "Miss Zhao, why are you suddenly drinking?"

It's rare to see Sister Zheng like this on a normal day.

When Zhengjie heard the voice, she was clearly startled for a moment. She turned around and saw that it was Bai Su who came in, and then she was relieved.

A smile appeared on her lips as she said, "Things have been going very smoothly lately, and I was so happy that I couldn't help but drink a little more."

According to reports from the Black Ice Station, the Champa rice has been growing smoothly along the Yangtze River recently, and next year is sure to be a bumper harvest.

The promotion of hemp cloth went smoothly, and many people from the six kingdoms who were dissatisfied with their corvée labor had fewer grievances than before.

In addition, the recently acquired horseshoes and bellows smelting method are simply great things for the Great Xia to enhance its national strength.

All of this is thanks to the young man in front of us.

"Bai Su, come drink with me." Zheng Jie looked at Bai Su with her phoenix eyes.

"No, it's better not to drink so late. It's bad for your health."

Seeing that Sister Zheng was already somewhat drunk, Bai Su couldn't help but say something.

With her fair and slender hand, Zhengjie lifted her jet-black hair, revealing her snow-white collarbone, and said with her lips slightly parted, "I'll personally pour you the wine."

"Ahem, let's go then."

Bai Su couldn't resist the temptation and agreed immediately.

Zhengjie smiled gently, stood up, and picked up the bamboo tube to pour wine for Bai Su.

Looking at the mature and charming face in front of her, Bai Su was somewhat dazed. She had to admit that Miss Zhao was truly a beauty of unparalleled grace.

Although Hu Yi and Miss Han are both very beautiful, they lack the mature charm that Sister Zheng possesses, which comes with age and experience. They are like ripe peaches covered in sugar frosting, making one want to take a bite.

"This is a wine I made using your method. How does it taste?"

Zhengjie gently pushed the drinks in front of Bai Su.

Bai Su took a sip of her drink and nodded: "It tastes very good."

"Really? That's wonderful." A smile appeared on Zheng Jie's face, and she immediately asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

"As for future plans, the old Qi region is a good place to do business. In the future, we can..."

Bai Su took a sip of her drink and began to talk at length about her future plans.

Zhengjie rested her face on one hand, her phoenix eyes, slightly glazed with intoxication, reflecting Bai Su's handsome face. Listening to Bai Su's voice, she was momentarily lost in thought.

Bai Su has recently made great contributions to her, but she has yet to offer the rewards she deserves, which makes her feel uneasy, as if Bai Su is about to leave her at any moment.

While she was lost in thought, she didn't notice that her originally loose collar slowly loosened, revealing a black undergarment underneath. Due to the alcohol, the thin fabric clung tightly to her full figure, revealing a deep cleavage.

Faced with this alluring scene, Bai Su's voice slowly stopped.

When Zhengjie saw that Bai Su suddenly stopped talking, she slowly raised her head with her phoenix eyes, which were still slightly drunk.

She couldn't help but ask, "Bai Su... is there anything you want? I... can give you anything you want."

A strange expression flashed across Bai Su's face as she asked, "Really... anything is fine?"

Zhengjie nodded slightly: "Whatever reward you desire, whether it's red coral from the East China Sea or jade from Wu and Yue, I can find it for you."

If when I first met Bai Su, those small mechanical devices were just toys for nobles, then the horseshoes and smelting methods presented in the last two days are genuine national treasures.

She had already made up her mind that, no matter what, she would bring Bai Su, this talented man from the streets, under her command.

Bai Su pondered for a moment and said, "What I want is not outside, but right in front of me."

Zheng Jie's phoenix eyes widened in surprise: "It's right in front of you, what is that?"

"What I want, of course, is...this thing."

Bai Su wrapped one large hand around Zheng Jie's slender waist, leaned close to her delicate ear, and whispered.

After saying that, he drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp and kissed Zhengjie's slightly parted lips.

The drunken haze in Zheng Jie's phoenix eyes gradually faded, and her pupils continued to contract, as if she had never expected that what Bai Su wanted was actually her.

And he was so bold as to do such a thing to her, who was the empress.

More importantly, her youngest daughter, Hu Yi, was lying right next to her.

"Little...Little Xiao'er is here."

Zhengjie pushed against Bai Su's chest with her fair hands, trying to break free from his embrace, but because she had drunk quite a bit of wine before, her body was a little sluggish and she was unable to break free.

Bai Su glanced at Hu Yi, who was fast asleep with her eyes closed, and said with a smile, "It's okay... she's asleep, she won't wake up."

He then kissed her thin, red lips.

Zhengjie felt a surge of shame and anger. Even if her daughter couldn't wake up, she never intended to agree to do such a thing with Bai Su.

But under the influence of alcohol, she couldn't help but recall the scene of thousands of Kongming lanterns flying into the sky a couple of days ago, and her pushing motion paused for a moment for some reason.

Bai Su felt the beauty in his arms and stopped moving. He then wrapped his arms around Zheng Jie's slender waist, which could be grasped in one hand.

Zhengjie sighed inwardly, "Never mind."

In ancient times, the Duke of Zhou spat out his food to welcome talented people, and later, Duke Xiao of Qin personally welcomed Shang Yang with open arms and ate and lived with him.

Let's set aside our royal airs today and give him some reward.

After all, she had always felt indebted to him. Once she left the room, she acted as if nothing had happened and everything returned to normal.

Thinking of this, Zheng Jie's struggles gradually lessened.

The blue hairpin in her jet-black hair reflected a faint green light under the candlelight, gently landing on the head of Hu Yu, who was fast asleep beside her.
