"The Divine Incense is quite rare." Fla appeared troubled, "I myself..."
"Fla, you are like a brother to ." Jin Yuka quickly put on a flattering deanor, "Truly, from now on, we will live and die together. Our thirty thousand warriors of Miaojiang will always heed your command."
"Heh." Fla laughed, "The King of Miaojiang is straightforward. Then I should not be stingy. No matter how precious, it must be offered." With that, he reached out, took out an ebony box, and handed it over.
Jin Yuka hurriedly took it, eager to open the box. Although it wasn’t lit, he sniffed the fragrance and showed an extrely satisfied expression: "Then I won’t see you out, I’ll be off." Then he ran off with the box.
Ran Lei glanced at Fla, quickly turned around, and chased after Jin Yuka.
"Master, that Ran Lei..." Watching Jin Yuka and Ran Lei leave, Moxie, standing behind Fla, took a step forward.
Fla raised his hand to stop what Moxie was about to say, "He is still useful." Then he also got up and walked out.
Moxie shut his mouth and hurriedly followed.
Not far behind the military camp, in a mountain hollow, a dozen herbalists were guarding a cave.
When Fla arrived, those herbalists chanically saluted him.
The cave was naturally ford but had been artificially expanded, creating a rather spacious Stone Chamber inside. However, the natural light was dim, so oil lamps were set up on the walls.
In the middle of the cave, on a stone, a person leaned back, eyes closed in repose.
"King Yun is truly the War God; even in captivity, you remain so calm." Fla stood outside the Stone Chamber, a hint of mockery in his tone.
Qi Jingyun finally opened his eyes slightly, glanced at Fla, almost entirely cloaked in black, and smiled a little, "What good would it do if I weren’t calm? It’d only lead to self-inflicted suffering."
"Frankly, I never thought I could capture you alive. Truly, it is a... delightful surprise!"
"Heh." Qi Jingyun chuckled, "Everyone has their weaknesses. I am human."
"Yang Ruxin!" Fla also smiled, "A country maiden who makes King Yun always rember and commands Gu Qingheng’s unwavering loyalty. To be honest, I am very interested."
"What do you plan to do?" Qi Jingyun’s brow furrowed.
"I haven’t figured that out yet." Fla spread his hands, "But, if I could bring her... by my side, wouldn’t that be quite an achievent?"
"You?" Qi Jingyun’s furrowed brow suddenly relaxed, even revealing a smile, "Dream on."
"Care to give it a try?"
"How?" Qi Jingyun raised an eyebrow slightly, "Make Yang Ruxin fall in love with you? Honestly, it’s not that I look down on you, but you’re not even worth looking at, unless she loses her mory... but I feel that even if she did, she wouldn’t fall for you."
"Things shouldn’t be spoken of so absolutely." Fla raised his gloved index finger and shook it slightly, "You better pray you live that long."
"You won’t kill just yet, or else you wouldn’t have locked up here." Qi Jingyun shook his head, "Because I am useful."
"Indeed, that’s the case. At least at certain tis, you can beco a bargaining chip for exchange." Fla nodded, "I am just very curious, don’t you have ambitions as well? Why not just raise an army and rebel?"
