EBE Chapter 364 Upon waking, I was shocked to hear that Li Meng was leaving.
Chapter 364 Upon waking, I was shocked to hear that Li Meng was leaving.
"Lord Bai Lingxing! Nanyang City is about to fall! The Qin army has sent tens of thousands of soldiers, and... and the Shadow Army too!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Lingxing didn't have time to think it through and immediately led his subordinates towards Nanyang City.
She held her ground in Nanyang City for two months.
Despite personally slaying countless Qin soldiers, he ultimately could not withstand the overwhelming disparity in troop strength and the attacks of the Dark Shadow Heavenly Class Crimson Shadow.
When she was struck by the Crimson Shadow, she thought she was going to die.
Unexpectedly, Luo Bingqian arrived and risked her life to save her.
Luo Bingqian led her on a frantic rush back to Huanling City.
When Luo Bingqian was on her last legs, she finally collapsed half a mile outside Huanling City and was discovered by passing people.
Daya and the others immediately began to treat their injuries.
Two days later, Luo Bingqian woke up first.
She looked at the crowd surrounding her and recounted the tragic state of Nanyang City.
With the arrival of the Crimson Shadow, the Qin army could no longer hold the city gates.
Bai Lingxing was eventually injured by Chi Ying, so she had no choice but to take Bai Lingxing with her and leave first.
In the end, Luo Bingqian was left with only despair.
"I couldn't save Akakage from that attack."
Therefore, we have no choice but to escape back with Lord Bai Lingxing first!
Everyone who heard this couldn't help but sigh.
Now the Empress is still recovering from serious injuries, and the Ling Kingdom is besieged on all sides and surrounded by powerful enemies.
These are truly turbulent times!
The arguments in the court were so loud they almost lifted the roof off.
The six spirit stars and officials from various departments argued heatedly over troop deployment and the transportation of provisions.
The chaotic situation caused Shanzi to furrow his brow.
"Shut up, all of you!"
Shanzi took out a gilded token, which gleamed with a cold light.
"This is the order personally issued by the Empress in Nanyang City back then. The order states: During wartime, Lingxing will take overall command, and all departments must cooperate!"
The moment the token was presented, the entire hall fell silent.
The officials looked at the token that symbolized supreme authority.
Then look at the six solemn-looking spirits behind Shanzi.
In the end, he suppressed the argument, bowed, and accepted the order: "As you command."
Xiao Lie and Xiao Man spent seven days and seven nights treating the Empress.
The two finally helped each other out of the Empress's bedroom.
Their faces were deathly pale, and their steps were so unsteady that they seemed as if a gust of wind could knock them over.
Xiao Lie had just opened his mouth to say "I have fulfilled my mission" when everything went black and he collapsed straight down.
Xiaoman was already weak all over, and when he pulled her like that, she also went limp.
Shanzi reacted quickly and caught both of them.
Then Da Tou and Shi Zi quickly went forward and hugged them.
Da Ya checked their pulses before letting out a sigh of relief.
"It's nothing, they're just exhausted. Let them sleep it off and they'll wake up on their own."
Qin Lingxing and the others hurried into the Empress's bedroom.
The Empress was laid flat on the bed, her breathing even.
Her face was still pale.
But the pain on his face had faded considerably.
Shi Lingxing said softly, "It seems that Xiao Lie and the others have stabilized the Empress's injuries."
The group stopped disturbing them, leaving only a maid to guard them, and turned to go to the side hall to check on Xiao Lie and Xiao Man.
Xiao Lie and Xiao Man slept for a whole day.
The next morning, a maid rushed in to report that Xiao Lie and the other girl had woken up.
Upon hearing this, Shanzi and the others hurriedly stood up, their chair legs scraping against the ground with a screeching sound.
"Let's go take a look!"
In the side hall, Xiao Lie was trying to get off the bed while holding onto the wall, while Xiao Man sat on the edge of the bed rubbing her stomach.
The rumbling of their stomachs was particularly clear in the quiet room.
They grinned when they saw Shanzi and the others come in.
Shanzi said, "You're finally awake. If you had slept any longer, you would have starved to death."
Daya asked with concern, "How are you feeling? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
Shanzi pressed down on Xiaolie's shoulder and said, "You two are really something, going seven days and seven nights without sleep, are you risking your lives?"
Xiao Lie explained, "The Spirit King's injuries cannot be delayed!"
Shanzi replied, "Of course I know that the Spirit King's injuries are serious, but you two should also take care of yourselves!"
Meanwhile, Li Meng looked at Xiao Man with tears welling up in her eyes.
Xiaoman saw Limeng in this state.
He asked with a smile, "Li Meng, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly crying?"
Li Meng sniffed, her voice trembling with tears.
"Brother, I'm relieved to see you're alright."
Xiao Manman laughed nonchalantly, "It's no big deal. Xiao Lie and I were just exhausted, but after a good night's sleep, we're all fully recovered!"
By the way, have you asked the uncles and elders in the village about jade these past few days? Any progress?
Li Meng then stopped crying, nodded, and then shook her head.
"Shui'er and Xiaohe took me to find the people in the village."
They all said they didn't know anything about the jade pendant around your neck.
but……"
Seeing this, Xiaoman asked, "But what?"
Xiaohe then interjected, "But Grandma Su told us something."
Xiaoman asked in confusion, "Oh, what is it?"
Xiaohe continued, "Grandma Su said you weren't born in the village."
Back then, Uncle Maoshun took Aunt Maoshun back to her parents' home.
They came back six months later, carrying you with them.
Xiaoman was stunned. "Wasn't I born in the village?"
He scratched his head, looking completely bewildered.
“My parents and grandparents have never told me about this.”
Think about it yourselves, has anyone in the village mentioned this?
Everyone looked at each other.
Daya shook her head: "I've never heard of that. Children in the village are all born at home. They just need to hire a midwife. Why would anyone run back to their parents' home to give birth?"
Xiao Lie said, "Maybe there are some special circumstances..."
Xiaohe thought back for a moment and shook her head as well, indicating that no one had ever mentioned it.
Da Ya said a lot as soon as she saw that the two of them had just woken up.
That interrupted their conversation.
"Alright, alright, you guys take a break. We can talk about it when you've calmed down, it won't make a difference if we wait a little longer."
Xiao Lie waved his hand, "We're really fine. We'll recover after a good night's sleep. By the way, has the Spirit King woken up?"
"He's not awake yet, but his breathing is better than last night, so he should be awake soon."
"Then let's go take a look." Xiao Lie said, and stood up while holding onto the edge of the table.
Xiaoman also stood up, supporting herself on the chair: "Yes, I'll feel more at ease if I go and see."
Shanzi scolded them after hearing their words, "What's the rush?"
Xiao Lie patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, we're all fine now. Let's go take a look."
Just as they were about to walk towards the door.
Li Meng whispered to Xiao Man, "Big brother, I'm leaving now."
Without even thinking, Xiaoman blurted out, "Yes, let's go together!"
He then walked towards the door.
But after taking only two steps, he noticed that Li Meng hadn't moved, so he turned around to look at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Meng looked at him, her eyes glistening with tears: "I mean, I'm going home."
