Su Binglan knew Falling Show could understand her. When the horse heard the young ladys words, it raised its head and front hooves. Then it looked up as if it was expressing something.

Su Binglan knew Falling Snow wanted revenge.

Luo Jinan looked at the two interacting and said, She likes you very much. She should belong to you.

Wei Jinan had obtained Falling Snow by chance at the border and felt it was spiritual, almost psychic. Wei Jinan had brought the horse to the capital as a birthday present for Lan Ruobing.

Falling Snow was only three years old then. However, Lan Ruobing was in poor health and could not ride it. Lan Ruobing thought Falling Snow should be free and not be kept as a pet, so she let Wei Jinan ride it instead.

Lan Ruobing had asked Falling Snow to protect Wei Jinan, and it did. Su

Binglan was grateful, saying, Thank you, Falling Snow.

Thank you for protecting the most important person to me.

Luo Jinan had another warhorse and gave Falling Snow to Su Binglan. When Su Binglan mounted Falling Snow, it released its fighting spirit. The surrounding warhorses felt Falling Snows battle intent and followed suit, releasing their powerful spirits.

Then everyone mounted their horses.

Falling Snow was a good horse, and those who loved horses could not help but like it. After all, Falling Snow possessed unparalleled intelligence and excellent strength.

Lets go, Luo Jinan said after mounting his horse.

Immediately after, the group set off. Halfway through, Wei Ying brought Wei

Chuan and Wei s.h.i.+ to carry out their side of the plan while Su Binglan, Luo Jinan, Lin Zheng, Blue Two, and Blue Three headed elsewhere overnight.

Lin Zheng knew his masters riding skills were excellent, but he had also seen Luo Jinans riding skills along the way. He was shocked. He had always thought his masters husband was sickly and could be blown away by the wind if he walked too fast.

However, Lin Zheng suddenly felt he did not understand Luo Jinan, significantly when Luo Jinans aura changed after mounting his horse. Luo Jinan looked like a knight on an armored horse.

Lin Zheng felt like he had entered a battlefield and felt Luo Jinans cold killing intent. It was bizarre, and Lin Zheng did not understand why he felt that way. He suspected Luo Jinan had become more formidable like Luo Jinan could make one tremble with a single gaze.

Meanwhile, as Shadow Guards, Blue Two and Blue Three had received the harshest training, and horse riding was a necessary skill. Even so, their riding skills were inferior to Su Binglan and Luo Jin!an.

Wei Ying and the others followed the plan and lured the bandits attacking the people of Apricot Mountain Village out. Simultaneously, they wanted to lure out the bandits living on a particular mountain and let the two sides fight.

Meanwhile, Su Binglan, Luo Jinan, and the others headed toward a camp. It was a base camp in Beishao Countrys border province.

Back then, the Hong clan had harmed the Wei family, and the son of the Hong clans patriarch was one of them. Moreover, the bandits attack on Apricot Mountain Village was highly likely related to the Hong family.

Therefore, Su Binglan and Luo Jinan would not let them go this time. Many people were still awake when the young couple arrived at the base camp. The young couple cooperated well and silently arrived outside the main tent.

They also heard the conversation going on inside.

The Hong clan has done a great service luring him out this time. The emperor might even make your sister the empress.

The son of the Hong clans head, Hong Gangliang, said, That person is a surviving member of the Wei family. 1 suspect Wei Jinan didnt die back then, so it would be good if we could lure him out and kill him. Still, it would be best if we could keep him alive.

Another person said, l heard Major General Wei is a rare and handsome man. Some say hes the most handsome man in Chu Country. Indeed, it would be good if we could keep him alive.

Well have him eating from our palms if we can clip his wings. Then again, how did you discover something amiss with the people of Apricot Village?

Hmph, theyre indeed well hidden, Hong Gangliang said, But my family has hidden many spies at the border. These spies would sometimes disguise themselves as beggars and pa.s.s through many villages or pretend to be victims of bandits. Then they manipulate people to give themselves away.

Hard work pays off. The people of Apricot Mountain Village thought they saved someone but gave themselves away instead. Ordinary villagers like them wouldnt know martial arts, either. There must be something wrong with them.

People say the Wei family army speaks of benevolence and righteousness, but they dont know that such things will cost them their lives, Hong Gangliang spoke mockingly.

Su Binglan was furious when she heard this and clenched her fists tightly. The murderous intent in her eyes grew even more potent, and she wanted to pounce on them.

However, she had to hold back because she knew she could not be impulsive. She wanted to continue listening for more vital information.

Luo Jinan held his wifes hand and conveyed his warmth, signaling to her not to be angry. He could not bear to see her that way. Hence, the young couple continued to listen.

Hong Gangliang started discussing the war, King Jians fief is adjacent to King Ruozhus. King Jian and I have already reached an agreement. We will provide him with the necessary resources and support him to become Chus emperor if he quickly conquers the deceased royals mansion.

King Jiang is quite bold to work with us.

Hes the same as the crown prince. They only care about immediate benefits and becoming the emperor. Since Chu Gujian, Chus emperor, is severely ill, they cant wait to fight for Chu Jians position.

If King Jian annexed Chu, he would become the most powerful king and have more power to become the emperor.

Our priority is to kill King Ruozhu, which would heighten King Jians prestige. Countless people wanted to kill King Ruozhu but could not. Itll be challenging for King Jian.

Hong Gangliang said, l heard King Ruozhu has a mysterious army under his command. Its a team trained by Princess Lan Ruobing. Theyre a formidable bunch.

When the other person heard this, he exclaimed, Really?! Is the source reliable?

Hong Gangliang said, Of course it is. Well let King Jiang kill King Ruozhu. If we obtain that force, we might even become invincible.

Is King Ruozhus army honestly that formidable?

Dont underestimate Princess Lan. She mustve made plenty of preparations before her death. Otherwise, how could King Ruozhu have survived until now and returned to his fief, the deceased royals mansion?

Su Binglans eyes revealed a bloodthirsty light when she heard these things. She leaped and entered the tent, simultaneously shooting out silver needles rapidly to lock the two people in the room by striking their acupoints.

Hong Gangliang and the other person did not expect anyone to be able to sneak into their heavily guarded base without them knowing. The two could not move and could only stare at Su Binglan and Luo Jinan with widened eyes..
