Time is passing bit by bit.

  The Turkic army's queue was getting longer and longer.

  Just as the elite of the Turks and the Han slaves were separated by about thirty miles, Prince Langling waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Kill!"

  "Kill—"

  "Kill—"

  The deafening, thunder-like, tsunami-like battle cry erupted at the same time as the earth was also shaken by the hooves of 50,000 Black Armor Guards.

  The retreating Turks did not think they would be pursued and killed. Therefore, when the shout of killing rose sharply on this side, a loud roar had already erupted on that side: "The Zhou people are coming to kill us, prepare, prepare, prepare..." The last voice of preparation from the general was suddenly choked in his throat.

  He had anticipated everything except that there would be so many people on the other side!

  Behind the black-clad and black-armored knights, who had shocked them countless times, was still a rolling dust storm that seemed to have no end, as if the entire sky and earth were occupied by them!

  Good heavens! How many people are there?! Could it be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands?!

  These Tujue people, totaling no more than 140,000, were killed by the Prince of Lanling and the Zhou people in succession, with 50,000 dead. The remaining 90,000 people are divided among seven cities. As the largest and most important city, Wuwei City has only 20,000 to 30,000 Tujue people.

  Twenty to thirty thousand people, normally a huge number, but at this moment, each of them had a large amount of treasure in their pockets, some even holding onto the beautiful women they had abducted. Adding to that, these days they had been sleeping with women day and night, drinking and reveling in Wuwei City, all of which had severely drained their physical strength and worn down their willpower.

  Facing far more opponents than themselves, facing this one branch that is absolutely perfect in terms of combat power and is comparable to the all-conquering black armored knights, facing their blood-colored flag. On that flag, except for a yellow flag with the word "high" written on it, the rest are white flags with a bloody "kill" character written on them. A blood character identical to the one formed by the skulls piled up outside the city gate!

  In an instant, the Turks panicked. Suddenly, only one thought emerged in their minds: I've got so many treasures, as long as I can escape from here. Then I can live whatever life I want, why should I fight to the death with them?

  At this moment, seeing the panic behind the "kill" flag and the preciousness of life after embracing the treasure, some ordinary fierce and wolf-like Turks who killed people like hemp actually disobeyed orders, mounted their horses and rushed to the side grassland. They wanted to escape by taking a shortcut!

  Once the rout had begun, nothing could stop it. Not even the elite Turkic troops were immune to this. Under the shrill whistling of the Turkic leader's command, amidst his frantic whipping of his horse, and as his subordinates scattered in all directions, 50,000 Black Armor Guards charged forward!

  A beauty holding precious treasures, morale has already collapsed. One with a killing aura rising, this outcome can be imagined.

  In a short half-day, the grassland was stained with blood. Countless Turks, after breaking through the copper wall and iron wall of the Black Armor Guard, encountered the following Yuwen Hu's troops.

  It had become a one-sided slaughter by then.

  In this battle, the last fugitive of the Turks was only over 3,000 people, and the rest became withered bones on the grassland.

  The war is not over yet.

  After solving the Turkic people in Wuwei City, the Black Armor Guard took a short rest and used the same method to divide the troops into two groups, intercepting the other two cities that escaped from the Turkic elite. The Turkic elite of the two cities each had more than 10,000 people, and the Black Armor Guard still had an absolute advantage, let alone the suspicious soldiers behind?

  Same layout, same fleeing before fighting, in just a few days, Langling Wang's army annihilated more than 50,000 Turks.

  However, the Black Armor Army was still somewhat inferior, and the elite of the seven cities of the Turks finally escaped back to the grasslands with three cities.

  In the end, this unprecedented war between the Turks and the Zhou people had 147,000 Turkish soldiers participating, with fewer than 40,000 escaping.

  This battle established Langling Wang's reputation as a peerless military general.

  This is also a battle that was submerged in the long river of history. In 577 AD, after Zhou destroyed Qi, Emperor Wu of Zhou ordered the historians of Qi to delete all records of this battle and cover it up with an ordinary battle between Northern Qi and Turks.

  In real history, people only know that Langling Wang Gao Changgong became prominent in 564 AD, two years later. However, from the time he held military power to 564 AD, his figure is rarely seen in major and minor events in the history of Qi State. So when did he achieve his great reputation? What outstanding military achievements did he have during these two years? It has always been a topic of debate among historians. People only know that based on the battles he left behind in history, it is far from reaching the evaluation of "great achievement and shocking the lord, extraordinary brave general".

  This battle, while greatly enhancing the reputation of the Black Armor Guard, also brought huge gains to each individual. After gathering all the generals and holding a secret meeting, and sending a letter to both the Emperor of Qi and Zheng Yu, the King of Lanling appeared in a horse-drawn carriage.

  There was only one carriage, and next to it were about five hundred people in casual clothes, but with two guards riding horses for each person.

  Zhang Qi sat in the carriage.

  She stood straight up, her eyes wide open, staring angrily at the tall figure leaning against the car window.

  These days, she did not participate in the killings one after another. She was sent to a farmhouse by King Lanling and had two people watching her at all times. Before she came back to herself, she was forcibly put on this horse-drawn carriage again. And in the carriage, there was such a man.

  She glared at him for a moment, seeing the man engrossed in reading a silk book. Zhang Qi gritted her teeth and coldly said, "I won't return to Qi with you."

  What's the point of going back to Qi State? Is it to see him and his queen being affectionate? To pay respects to Zheng Yu, that mistress? Or to let her and Autumn Princess mock how she went from imperial concubine to just a concubine again?

  "As soon as she mentioned this, her voice trembled with anger, 'Gao Changgong, don't force me!'"

  Hearing the sob in her voice, Langling Wang slowly put down the silk book in his hand and looked at her with a expressionless face.

  He glanced at her and said lightly: "Who says we're going to Qi State?"

  Zhang Qi was taken aback.

  She stuttered and said: "T-t-that is going where?" Won't be going to Chen Guo, will it?

  He looked at the silk book again and said with a smile, "Go to Chen Guo, you've always wanted to go back and take a look, haven't you?"

  Zhang Qi was shocked and after a moment of stunned silence, she asked: "What about Yuwen Yong?" She is still Yuwen Yong's consort, isn't she? This won't affect state affairs, will it?

  She asked a question, but Langling Wang ignored her and continued reading his book. If Zhang Qi wasn't mistaken, he was uninterested in the mention of Yuwen Yong and even less interested in this topic.

  Biting her lip, Zhang Qi thought for a moment. She carefully asked: "Is the fight over?"

  He remained engrossed in his book, ignoring her.

  She bit her lip again and asked: "What about your 50,000 men? You didn't even report to Master Qi, but instead slipped away quietly. Is that alright?"

  He still didn't answer.

  Zhang Qi hummed softly and rolled her eyes.

  As long as she was allowed to, she didn't want to have any involvement with the man from this family who had a sinister wife. Even if it meant giving up her favorite things, she could bear to do so. But this person was stubborn and wouldn't listen, even when he answered her, she couldn't draw any conclusions from his words. Then she forced him to give up.

  But he ignored her, and she was at a loss for what to do.

  This time seeing this person again, how is it that he seems to have matured and become more worldly?

  Zhang Qilian asked a few questions. Seeing that he didn't respond, she turned her head and looked seriously at the scenery outside.

  It's already deep autumn, leaves are falling everywhere, I'm afraid that if we walk slowly, it will snow on the way.

  Gazing at the vast and endless sky, just then, a line of geese flew over in human-like formation. They too were traveling south, but they must have been joyful and carefree.

  Pursing her lips, Zhang Qi discovered that another surge of indescribable hatred had welled up in her heart.

  She thought that if he hadn't saved her, hadn't tried every means to get medical help for her, and hadn't insisted on sharing a horse-drawn carriage with her to return to Chen together, she might not have hated him so much.

  Love cannot be obtained, so I can only hate now!

  As she thought about it, her eyes felt a bit sour, so she blinked hard.

  Just then, she heard Lang Ling Wang's low voice, "Tired? Sleep for a while."

  Zhang Qi's head twisted, and a soft hum came from her nose. She bit her lip, thinking of retorting, but after some thought, she finally felt unenthusiastic.

  She ignored him, he glanced at her lightly, slowly put down the book, and said lightly: "Don't want to sleep? Good, I don't either." After that, he stretched out his hand, slowly taking off his outer garment.

  Quietly gazing at Zhang Qi in her eyes, her eyes suddenly widened. She hastily lowered her head, wrapped one side of the pillow over, then placed it beside her, and curled up to sleep.

  Seeing her obedient, Langling Wang raised an eyebrow and slowly put back on the outer garment he had just taken off.

  Seeing him pick up the book again, Zhang Qi's eyes quietly opened a line and she turned over with a huff.

  She was already extremely tired and after tossing about for a while, she fell fast asleep.

  At first, the body was still swaying up and down with the overturning of the carriage, and the head was also knocked against from time to time. Although it was all thick tiger skin that was being knocked against, it was still uncomfortable.

  Later on, Zhang Qi, who was drowsy from sleep, found that the place where she slept had become soft, warm and flexible at will. She couldn't help but rub against it comfortably and entered a sweet dreamland.

  In her dream, Yuwen Yong sat on the throne, looking down at her from a high place, and suddenly shouted: "Kneel down!"

  Zhang Qi's face turned pale and she fell to her knees with a thud.

  Yuwen Yong's handsome face turned cold, and he looked at her with disappointment. "I thought you were a wise person, so I let you come and go freely. But how did you repay me? You went around showing kindness to the warriors, and whenever you met someone poor but talented, you would try to win them over. Zhangshi, do you know that as the empress, your every move is not only watched by me, but also by Yuwen Hu, and all the officials. Just now, Yuwen Hu sent someone to ask me if I had any ulterior motives for gathering these people! Zhangshi, you really disappointed me." He closed his eyes, waved his right hand, and ordered in a deep voice: "Bring Lee Fei to the Da Zongzhai government, and pass on my decree. Yuwen Cheng is a young and outstanding talent, with exceptional intelligence. It's a great fortune for the Great Zhou to have him. I hereby confer upon him the title of Yanggu Gong. I also grant him the beautiful Zhangshi as his reward. I hope Yanggu Gong will make great contributions to our country!"

  Just dragged down by the eunuchs, Zhang Qi let out a sharp cry, "No—"

  She sat up with a start, her forehead covered in sweat.

  As she sat up, she only discovered that she was being held in Gao Leng's arms, and at this moment, he was massaging her temples with one hand, his eyes also quietly watching her.

  Looking up at her eyes, Gao Chang said in a low voice: "It's all over, Ah Gui, it's all over!"

  He stretched out his arms and held her tightly in his embrace, murmuring: "It's all over, it won't happen again, it won't happen again!"

  Zhang Yi was frightened by the dream and broke out in a cold sweat. She stiffened, leaning against Langling Wang's chest, and didn't catch her breath until after a while: It was just a dream, it was only a dream!

  Before she knew it, she thought: I'm not that stupid, how could I have done such a foolish thing in my dream?

  She casually wiped the sweat from her forehead with a sleeve, and Zhang Qi thought to herself: As the saying goes, "day has its thoughts, night has its dreams", perhaps it's because I've been thinking about finding an opportunity to accumulate my own strength, that's why I had this dream.

  Just as she pulled on her sleeve and covered her face with it, closing her eyes to take a deep breath, the low voice of Langling Wang came over, "A Qi."

  Zhang Qi ignored him.

  The voice of Lanling Wang was cold and detached, "You're using my sleeve to wipe your nose, when do you plan on stopping?"

  His sleeves?

  Zhang Qi suddenly threw off the sleeve that was covering her face. Then she looked down and saw that it was indeed his sleeve, with wet stains all over it.

  Her face flushed, Zhang Qi got a bit annoyed again. She snorted and said, "What nasal mucus? Stop talking nonsense!"

  She said with a bit of embarrassment, stubbornly turning her head away and muttering: "I'll just wash it clean for you."

  She puckered her lips, her expression was strong and annoyed and shy, the King of Lanling pulled the corner of his mouth: Finally, her complexion is better. He no longer paid attention to Zhang Qi, took a silk book from one side, and flipped through it again.

  More than 500 people were surrounding a horse-drawn carriage, moving slowly and steadily along the official road. Whenever someone rushed past, they would turn their head back in astonishment.

  It's already deep autumn now, and soon it will be winter. I don't know where these people are going, but why are they walking so slowly?

  The troops were so sharp, and the men in ordinary clothes had such a fierce gaze that no one dared to stop and ask questions. Even when a large group of people passed by, they would quietly retreat after a moment's hesitation.

  Before I knew it, night had fallen.

  Five hundred guards had pitched their tents and lit bonfires early in the morning.

  Looking at the guards gathered together drinking in the distance, Zhang Gui glanced at the main tent with only one flag on it, pursed his lips and said softly: "I'll sleep in the carriage."

  She turned her head and refused to look at Prince Langling, saying in a strong and sonorous voice, "I can sleep alone in the horse carriage."

  She emphasized the two words "one person".

  In the carriage, Langling Wang slowly put away the silk book he had been reading all day and looked up at her.

  Just as Zhang Qi thought he would be forced, she heard him say: "Whatever!"

  He raised his right hand, lifted the curtain of the carriage and jumped down from the horse-drawn vehicle.
