Rebirth in the Spirit World, the Goddess's Brilliant Counterattack
Chapter 117 Silent Emotion
"Hey, Brother Yuanzhou?"
"Acheng, is that you?" Bai Yuanzhou was surprised on the other end, not understanding why this young man would suddenly contact him.
Jiang Cheng is about the same age as Bai Yuanzhou and Zhou Ye. Even though they are his uncle's friends, he still addresses them as brothers.
"Is your uncle with you now? I couldn't contact him just now. Is he busy with some mysterious transactions recently?" Jiang Cheng asked.
"No, I haven't contacted him in the past two days. Transaction? There is no major matter that requires his intervention recently, but he threw a bunch of complicated magic research to me." Bai Yuanzhou said with a hint of complaint in his tone.
"Don't worry, I'll find out for you later."
Jiang Cheng responded: "No need, Brother Yuanzhou, my uncle just replied to me."
Bai Yuanzhou looked at the interrupted call, his heart full of confusion. Why was this child so abnormal today?
Since my uncle was not involved in any transaction and the work was still handled by Brother Yuanzhou, why did he tell Li Li that she was here to discuss business? Did my uncle really come to Lancheng just to see Li Li? If so, what was his feeling for Li Li? Was such deep affection normal?
Jiang Cheng suddenly recalled the secret of the sunflower mentioned by Yao Shuige. The silent and wordless love might... not be groundless.
"Fifth brother, A Cheng just called me and asked about your location, saying that he couldn't find you." Bai Yuanzhou dialed Jiangnan's magic stone.
Jiangnan has returned to Jinghua City. Upon hearing this, he instantly understood that Jiang Cheng was deliberately investigating his whereabouts and must have noticed something.
He chuckled, this kid is really smart.
"Understood, I will reply to him later."
Huh? Hasn't it been restored? Bai Yuanzhou was speechless after the call was hung up again. What tricks are this uncle and nephew playing?
The magic stone under the table vibrated. Jiang Cheng took it out and checked. It was a message from his uncle.
"Don't tell her the truth."
Jiang Cheng stared at these five words for three minutes. It turned out that his uncle really...
"Brother Cheng, what are you looking at? Let me see." Seeing him staring at the Philosopher's Stone with a serious face, Lian Yu also became curious.
"Nothing." Jiang Cheng quickly turned off the screen and put it in his pocket.
"Cheapskate."

"Let's give a warm welcome to the heroes of our crew."
In Youlan Lane, the crew of "The Chronicle of Dangun" had just arrived when Li Li arrived and Gu Liangxiu led the applause.
"Director Gu, what do you mean? Where does this hero come from? Are you kidding me?" Li Li was confused.
Gu Liangxiu smiled and said, "Because of you, the popularity of our "Tangun Chronicle" has soared thousands of times, saving a huge amount of publicity costs. If you are not a hero, what are you?"
"No, no, it's all thanks to Director Gu's excellent script."
"You are good at sweet talk." Although Gu Liangxiu blamed, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
"By the way, I've been invited to many variety shows, hoping that you can participate as a special guest in a few episodes. Some of them are quite good."
No matter how good it is, Li Li will not consider it. Being able to participate in this drama is already her limit. "No need, Director Gu, I won't consider these. I will explain it on Magic Weibo. Thank you for your hard work."
"It's okay." Li Li responded calmly, and Gu Liangxiu would not say much to comfort her, even though these rejected opportunities were rare adventures in the eyes of many people.
"Hurry up and get dressed." Today's photo shoot is tight and there is no time to waste.
Half an hour later, Li Li came out wearing gorgeous makeup and hair.
"Are you ready for today's scene?" Gu Liangxiu asked. Today, Li Li will perform the final scene of Princess Qining. This scene is the key turning point of the whole play, and it is also a plot that appears repeatedly in the dreams of the male protagonist Yu Dangun. Its importance is self-evident.
"It's basically ready, give me a moment." Li Li has been immersed in figuring out the role of Princess Qining for days, and still needs some time to get into the situation.
"Okay, Gu Xujiang, you should get ready too."
"Yes, sir." Gu Xujiang had already arrived at the set in advance, just to complete this important scene with Li Li.
The filming location is set in the ancient city tower on Youlan Street. Nearby is a rehearsal field that can accommodate grand scenes, and behind it is a stretch of dense forest. When it was built, it was foreseen that the crew would choose this place for filming.
Ten minutes later, "All departments, get ready, actors are in place," Gu Liangxiu announced, holding a horn.
"The 48th scene of The Chronicle of Dangun, passed in one go."
"start!"
On the towering ancient city tower, a girl in plain clothes stood for a long time, gazing at the forest in the distance. The wind blew, the branches and leaves swayed, making rustling sounds, and the air was filled with a solemn fighting spirit.
Yu Qining's black hair was not decorated in any complicated way, but was tied up with a simple hairpin, leaving it loose and natural. Her face was as pale as the moon, and only her eyes were like cold stars.
Li Qingli looked at her thin figure, feeling grief-stricken in his heart. It was so sad that the great Great Xia Kingdom had fallen into such a situation, and the princess had become the last barrier!
"General Li, do you still remember what I said?" Yu Qining said indifferently.
Li Qingli's expression changed slightly, "Princess!"
"Fate has changed..." The soft whispers drifted away with the wind.
"Return to the tent."
"As ordered."
After returning to the big tent, Yu Qining immediately summoned all the generals.
Yu Qining looked around at everyone and said, "Dear generals, I have called you together today because I have something to tell you. Given the current situation, I will no longer hide anything from you."
The generals looked at each other, and Li Qingli closed his eyes in silence.
Yu Qining spoke slowly, "Five days ago, a messenger brought bad news. The emperor of Daxia, my father, has passed away in the county city."
"How can it be!"
Yu Qining's words were like a bolt from the blue, shocking the hearts of everyone present.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." The generals knelt down one after another, tears in their eyes.
"Everyone, stand up." Yu Qining said calmly, "Father sacrificed his life to protect Daxia, but we have no time to grieve, because the final battle is coming soon."
The generals were silent, understanding the dire situation they were in. The Chu army was approaching the city, and they were the last line of defense.
"How can five thousand soldiers resist the one hundred thousand cavalry of the Chu army?" One person's face turned pale. The huge gap in strength made people feel despair.
“Although we are powerless to resist, we must fight with all our might. Inform the entire army, if there are those who do not want to stay, they can leave now. I will not force you.” Yu Qining gave them the freedom to choose.
"We swear to live and die with Daxia forever!" Everyone bowed their heads together, and their oath was firm and loud.
"Sister, what secret are you discussing?" In the illusion of crisscrossing rivers, Yu Tanjun appeared at the door of the tent, his eyes full of confusion and uncontrollable chaos.
What did he hear? His father had died heroically on the battlefield, and the Chu cavalry was approaching the city walls.
"Who allowed you to come in?" Yu Qining's expression changed slightly, with a hint of panic flashing across his face.
"Sister, please tell me the truth." Yu Tanjun's lips were pale and his body was trembling. He urgently needed his sister to confirm it in person.
Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Yu Qining could only say frankly: "It's just as you heard."
"Then why did you hide it from me? Everyone hid it from me!" Yu Tanjun roared angrily.
"Your Highness, I just learned that you..."
"Shut up!" Yu Tanjun's eyes were like poisoned ice arrows, and he said coldly: "I am the prince! Why do you have to keep it secret from me?"
"Because you are the prince!" Yu Qining's eyes were deep and unfathomable, "General Li, take action!"
Yu Tanjun was startled, and turned around to see Li Qingli standing quietly behind him.
"You dare!" Before he finished speaking, Li Qingli swung his hand behind his neck with a smooth and swift move, catching the fallen Crown Prince.
“Take it back to the tent.”
"As you wish, Princess."
The generals all lowered their heads, not daring to make any comments on the princess's behavior towards His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and their hearts were filled with awe.
Yu Qining looked calm and continued to give orders: "In the next few days, the soldiers should have a good meal and sharpen their weapons. We will fight against Lord Jiang the day after tomorrow at the latest. Everyone should be vigilant."
"General Wang, you will lead a thousand soldiers to garrison the west of the city."
"Commander Zhang, lead a thousand soldiers to the east of the city."
"Deputy General Chen, lead 200 elite soldiers to scout the important roads outside the city. If you find any traces of the Chu army, do not act rashly and report immediately."
"The rest of the soldiers, follow me and defend the city gate! This is the last battle. Let's follow the example of our ancestors and fight to the death!"
"Yes, sir!" The crowd's shouts echoed like thunder.
"How is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Yu Qining asked the servant beside him.
"Princess, His Highness seems to be a little unwell. He keeps clamoring to leave the tent." The attendant answered cautiously.
Yu Qining said calmly, "Send some more people to keep a close watch. If His Highness escapes, you will be held responsible."
"Yes, Princess." The servant hurried away.
"Princess, Lieutenant General Chen wants to see you!" the guard outside the tent reported.
"Please come in quickly!" Yu Qining's heart tightened, and he had a premonition of something ominous.
"Princess, my cavalry has spotted the Chu army fifty miles away and is expected to arrive within three miles." Deputy General Chen's voice was filled with anxiety.
Yu Qining's figure swayed slightly, so fast! "Order all soldiers to prepare for battle and find Li Qingli immediately."
"Yes, sir!"
Not long after, Li Qingli walked quickly into the tent. Yu Qining dismissed his attendants and handed him a mysterious box.
"It contains my father's handwritten will and the imperial decree to pass the throne to the crown prince. Your mission is to ensure the crown prince's safety. Once everything is completely safe, give this to him."
Li Qing and Li Dunjiang felt the mysterious weight of the wooden box in their hands. It seemed to carry a thousand-year curse. His eyes were filled with tears and his gaze was firm. "I swear to follow the princess's instructions and use my life to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from evil spirits."
Yu Qining gently closed his eyes and said, "Go away."
-----------------------
"Your Highness the Sixth Prince, the soldiers are ready and on standby at any time." In the wilderness fifty miles outside the city, thirty thousand lions of the Chu State were stationed there. The deputy general reported to the Sixth Prince of Chu who was leading the army.
"Very good, we will march in a quarter of an hour." Chu Ziyu's heart was surging. The capital of the Great Xia Empire seemed to be just around the corner, and the glory of the Chu State was about to be rekindled.
A quarter of an hour passed in a flash, and 30,000 Chu troops set out in a mighty force, marching towards the royal city of Daxia. The Chu cavalry was strong and their morale was high, and they arrived at the gate of the royal city in just two hours.
Chu Ziyu had already learned the intelligence. Now there were only a few thousand remnants of soldiers holding on to the royal city, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
"Your Highness, how do we capture the city?" asked the deputy general.
"Try peace first. If that doesn't work, just attack directly! These remnants of the defeated army are not worth my using any military tactics or schemes." Chu Ziyu said with disdain.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..." The sound of low war drums came from the distance.
“Who’s playing the drums?”
