The Widowed Mother, a Valiant General

These janissaries once again went to the stinking pits that very night and brought back a dozen barrels of crude oil. Following Lu Qing's instructions, they refined them all once. By morning, they already had a dozen jars of petroleum brain.

Lu Qing didn't close his eyes for the entire night. Afraid that something might have happened to these people, he set fire to the commander-in-chief's mansion.

It was a good thing that the personal guards of Yu Mingchuan were very careful. Not only were they able to move the stone paint quietly, they were even able to refine the oil from the brain overnight.

Lu Qing's suggestion to Yu Mingchuan was to try not to kill Dunhuang's people. After all, they were robbing under the noses of Mrs. Zhang of Liangzhou.

If they killed their garrison army and sent their army to destroy the Jade Gate Pass, then it would be too much of a tragedy.

Yu Mingchuan simply pinched her ear, saying that he understood what she meant, and then took another bite.

This bite was done in broad daylight. Those personal guards who had seen it before were okay, but a 'newbie' like Huo Jing had his mouth open wide enough to swallow a duck's egg.

An unsightly boss actually dared to do such a shameful thing to that little girl in front of everyone's eyes.

Is this still their boss?

But then again, if he had a godlike woman like that, he wouldn't be able to stop himself.

This little girl was truly a god. If they were able to dominate the world in the future, it must be because of this little girl!

Lu Qing enjoyed the admiring gazes of the crowd with satisfaction. Even the stony face of Fang Jiming was twisted. She was naturally extraordinary.

A retard like Huo Jing didn't care about him at all. His mouth was so wide open, and he wasn't afraid of flies flying in.

God knows, three days before they ran out of food, another heavy snow fell.

It was colder than before, and the snow was falling harder.

Luqing went to Han Shuo's side and saw that he was dressed like a bear. He had already put on the thicker fox fur coat. Mr. Sanshan said that they would sleep in the same bed at night and that it would be warmer.

Relieved, Lu Qing stared at Yu Mingchuan, waiting for his orders. Everyone was going to rob a house!

Sensing Lu Qing's fiery gaze, Yu Mingchuan smiled brilliantly.

"I never thought that Madam would actually like to do this sort of thing. As long as there's such a shameful thing happening in the future, I'll definitely call Madam over."

"How are you ashamed of yourself? It was clearly the Zhang Clan that was the first to commit evil, and we were guarding Jade Gate to guard against the Hu people of the Western Regions. But they actually cut off our supply, that's what shamed them!"

Yu Mingchuan's smile grew wider. He had used the word 'us' well, this little girl finally thought of this place as her home.

However, it was a pity that a little girl treated the Fringe City as her home.

"Well said, then let's go sneak attack them tonight and take them all away."

As he spoke, Yu Mingchuan scooped up Lu Qing and placed him in his bosom. A large hand reached into her fox fur coat as he searched for the soft flesh that had just grown up.

"Yu Mingchuan, don't cause trouble …"

The personal guards were all waiting at the door. Lu Qing's face was extremely red.

"Warm me up."

When the sky darkened completely and they set off, the heat on Lu Qing's face had not yet subsided. It was only after they had ridden for a while that they finally felt the cold chill of the snowy night.

The snow was falling heavily and their field of vision was limited. Their horses did not dare to move too fast. It was about three o'clock in the morning when they arrived at Dunhuang City.

Although it was called a city, Dunhuang was actually just a town with no buddhist statues from the future generations. It was just a large farmers' market where the merchants and Chinese traded.

Now that the Central Plains was in chaos and the Jade Gate was isolated by the Liangzhou City, the trading roads had been closed for more than half a year. The Western Regions and the Central Plains had not had any trade relations for a long time.

The entire Dunhuang region was deserted. If it were not for the fact that Zhang Si had sent hundreds of soldiers to guard this place, it would have become a dead city.

"Yu Mingchuan, they don't even have walls?"

Lu Qing, who was curled up in Yu Mingchuan's embrace, looked at Dunhuang City with some astonishment. The city walls were made from symbolic dirt. It was only the height of a person, what was there to guard against?

"This place is not an important military place. Usually, it is filled with merchants, so there is no need to defend."

Yu Mingchuan made a gesture, and a few dozen elite soldiers behind him quietly dismounted from their horses.

A dozen men drove the horses far away, trying not to make a sound. Then, according to the scouts' reports, a few of them dived into a gap in the wall.

It was a snowy night, and there weren't many people patrolling around Dunhuang's camp. In their eyes, the people from Jade Gate Pass and Yang Pass were like people waiting for their deaths. They had no food or salt, and no strength to walk.

As a result, the patrolling soldiers hid under tents left behind by the Hu merchants, unaware of the impending crisis.

Muffled sounds were barely audible in the snowy night. Streams of slightly fragrant liquid were poured into the snow, but no one noticed.

Most of the sleeping soldiers didn't know it yet when a large circle of fire suddenly began to burn in the vicinity of the camp.

There were only a few hundred people in the barracks, but there was always someone who woke up in the middle of the night to put out water. When they saw the flames shooting towards the sky, they were so scared that they nearly peed their pants. "Put out the fire!" Running back and forth in the camp.

Guan Meng was wearing a cotton jacket as he rushed out of the tent. A huge fire was raging around the camp, but he clearly remembered that there was nothing to burn in those places.

Looking at the faces of his soldiers, they were all as pale as paper. No one knew how the flames had been ignited.

Guan Meng was a general after all. With an angry shout, he walked towards the big fire at the side.

However, once they got closer to the flames, their faces became even paler than the soldiers.

These flames were burning snow!

How could the snow possibly burn?

But reality lay right in front of him. The snow was melting and the flames were getting bigger and bigger. Blue flames shot up into the sky and when they reached a higher point, they turned into a field of red.

At this moment, a faint singing voice came from the other side of the flames. The voice was eerie enough to make one's hair stand on end.

"The Emperor has no eyes ~ forced death, loyalty ~ ~ the heavenly fire descends ~ the burning unrighteous ~ YiYiYiYiYizi ~ ~"

At this moment, countless of the Dunhuang Garrison soldiers peed their pants in fright. They were indeed the unrighteous ones. The soldiers of Jade Gate and Yang Pass had always been guarding two areas, guarding the Central Plains.

Now, the heavenly fire was going to burn them.

At some point in time, countless people had fallen to their knees in the snow, kowtowing to the heavenly fire with muffled sounds.

Even Guan Meng could not help but tremble in fear before the Heaven Flame. In the end, he fell to his knees.

Lu Qing was laughing so hard that his intestines were almost tied up. However, he didn't dare to make a single sound. He could only lie prone in Yu Mingchuan's embrace, shaking uncontrollably.

This trick of putting on a show was something that Huo Jing had decided on the spur of the moment. He felt that he couldn't let this bunch of bastards off easily, so he was thoroughly scared. He didn't believe that the heavenly fire wouldn't be able to restrain these bunch of birds.
