The swords surrounding the girl in the coffin were all aimed at her. While the Exiled Nation was in a state of panic, the Moon Cherry Dynasty was dumbfounded, especially the Sun King. If it weren't broad daylight, they might have thought it was a ghost. But the girl was sitting there alive, and the Sun King was so agitated that he almost ran over, only to be stopped by the soldiers of the Exiled Nation. In his excitement, he shouted Qincheng's name, but the girl didn't even lift her head; she just kept staring at the man in front of her, completely motionless.
Mu Changqing's gaze lingered on her cold eyes, examining her as if scrutinizing an object, casually as if the person with a blade pressed against his throat wasn't him at all.
"Are you threatening me?" His voice revealed no anger or joy; it was as pleasant as ever, but a chill unmistakably radiated from him. The soldiers nearby shivered involuntarily from that coldness, feeling that the girl truly had the audacity to act boldly.
In all of the realm, she was the first to dare point a weapon at Prince Jin!
The girl's eyelashes fluttered slightly as her gaze swept over him. She caught a glimpse of the soldiers behind him holding long swords, and for a moment, Mu Changqing seemed to see her face pale and a hint of doubt flicker in her eyes. But it was only for an instant before her fierce voice rang close to his ear: "Will you retreat or not?"
The pressure on his neck clearly intensified; he could feel the pain increasing. His eyes turned icy cold, and he gritted his teeth: "Woman, you have provoked me!"
He had never been threatened like this before; in fact, no one had ever dared to threaten him. But this woman before him had gone beyond mere threats; she was openly using a weapon against him in front of an army. If he truly allowed her to intimidate him, he would lose face completely. The whole world would know that he, the Ghost King, had been scared off by a young girl! How could he possibly tolerate that?
With lightning speed, he gathered strength in his fingertips, intending to turn passive into active and subdue her first. However, he didn't expect that the girl would react even faster than him. She suddenly escaped and leaped down from the coffin. Yet it was clear she had suffered serious injuries; her body hadn't recovered yet. As soon as she landed on the ground, her legs went weak and she fell to her knees. In an instant, all the swords were aimed at her; if they advanced even a step closer, she would be pierced through.
Not only was her body weak, but her neck felt like it was on fire!
In truth, none of this mattered as much as the fact that she couldn't muster any strength at all; it felt as if her body wasn't even hers anymore. She had merely taken a hostage, yet her physical strength continued to drain away. After using all her might to jump out of the coffin, she felt utterly exhausted and had no strength left.
"Qincheng... Qincheng... Prince Jin, today is Qincheng's wedding day; bloodshed is inauspicious!" From afar, seeing Nie Qincheng subdued, the Sun King feared that Mu Changqing might do something outrageous and was terrified enough to rush in but was forcibly held back.
Nie Qingcheng raised her head, finally seeing clearly what was in front of her, A Thousand Troops and Ten Thousand Horses. It felt as if she had been doused with a bucket of cold water in an instant; she froze in place, her gaze slowly falling on the person she had just taken hostage, and then to the old man who called her "Qingcheng."
What is happening?
A Thousand Troops and Ten Thousand Horses is all in ancient attire?
I am being called Qingcheng?
Who are these people in front of me?
Her pupils momentarily lost focus. She did not forget what happened before she woke up—a drill, but someone had buried live ammunition in the drill area, pushing her into the Live Ammunition Forest where she was blown away. At that moment, she had no consciousness; all she knew was that she had been betrayed! But now, why after waking up was she standing alone in A Thousand Troops and Ten Thousand Horses, especially…
Her gaze fell on the coffin, which meant she crawled out of the coffin?
