Chapter 483 Because of You!
"You already knew everything, so why did you still support me?" Li Xingyun looked at Li Xingmeng with suspicion. He couldn't understand why. Since Li Xingmeng knew his life story, she must also understand the huge resistance she would face if she supported him. After all, the power he displayed at the time was far from enough to make Li Xingmeng take such a desperate risk.
Li Xingmeng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a charming smile. She raised her delicate hand and gracefully brushed the corner of her mouth. Then, with her autumn-water eyes, she stared straight at Li Xingyun and said with a half-smile, "Because of you!"
Li Xingyun was stunned upon hearing this. He was completely confused. Because of him? What on earth was going on? He stared at Li Xingmeng with wide eyes, as if he were looking at a stranger.
"Haha!" Li Xingmeng suddenly let out a silver bell-like laugh. Her laughter was clear and melodious, like the sound of nature. Then, her smile became even brighter, like a blooming spring flower, which made people fall in love with her.
"Because I'm attracted to you!" Li Xingmeng said without disguising her feelings. "Given your background, no matter who comes to power, they'll definitely not tolerate you. So, even if it's a life-or-death opportunity, I want to give it a try, a gamble! Isn't that straightforward enough?"
Li Xingyun seemed to recall the scene at that time, and that crazy idea emerged in his mind, and he couldn't help laughing. His laughter was like a spring breeze, blowing away the doubts and confusion in his heart.
At this moment, a corner of Li Xingmeng's silk pajamas slipped off her shoulders, revealing her snow-white shoulders. Those shoulders were as smooth as white jade, emitting a faint luster that made people want to reach out and touch them.
Li Xingyun was stunned, but didn't refute. Although what Li Xingmeng said was outrageous, he couldn't think of any other possibilities! Eliminating all the impossibilities, the remaining one, no matter how outrageous, was the correct answer!
"So! You've finally succeeded! You even know your origins! Can my little wish finally be fulfilled?" Seeing that Li Xingyun didn't intend to refute her, Li Xingmeng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile. An indescribable joy welled up in her heart, as if all her efforts had been rewarded at this moment.
Li Xingyun looked at Li Xingmeng in bewilderment, the mystery of his life still reverberating in his mind. This sudden news was hard for him to accept, and he didn't know how to face this new identity. However, facing Li Xingmeng's expectant eyes, he felt he couldn't refuse her request.
Just as Li Xingyun was hesitating, Li Xingmeng suddenly threw him onto her bed. Before Li Xingyun could react, his body was already pressed against the soft blankets. He looked at Li Xingmeng in astonishment, only to see her lightly straddling his lower abdomen and leaning towards him, instantly closing the distance between them.
Li Xingmeng's hair brushed gently against Li Xingyun's cheek, bringing a faint fragrance. Her breath was warm and gentle, caressing Li Xingyun's ears, causing his heart to beat faster. Li Xingyun's hands rested stiffly at his sides, unsure how to place them. His throat felt dry, and he swallowed with difficulty.
"Haha! Do I... have a choice?" Li Xingyun said with a wry smile. He knew he had no other choice. Li Xingmeng had helped him so much, and her motives were so pure, he couldn't think of any reason to refuse her request.
Li Xingmeng's smile widened upon hearing Li Xingyun's response. A flicker of satisfaction flashed in her eyes, as if this answer was exactly what she'd been waiting for. She whispered, "Good boy!" Then, she reached out her delicate hands, gently grasping Li Xingyun's large hands and slowly placing them on her slender waist.
Li Xingyun's hand touched Li Xingmeng's waist, and the soft touch made his fingers tremble slightly. He could feel Li Xingmeng's body temperature passing through the thin clothes, and this intimate contact made his heart beat faster.
Li Xingmeng didn't seem to notice Li Xingyun's nervousness. She slowly bent down, her beautiful face gradually approaching Li Xingyun. Li Xingyun's eyes involuntarily fell on her cherry-red lips, and his breathing became a little rapid.
Finally, Li Xingmeng's lips gently touched Li Xingyun's lips. At that moment, time seemed to freeze. Li Xingyun's mind was blank. He was completely immersed in this sudden kiss, feeling Li Xingmeng's tenderness and passion.
At this moment, Li Cunxu led a mighty army of one million and quickly arrived at the border of the Beiming Empire like a surging torrent.
Although the Beiming Empire was called an empire, it was actually made up of countless tribes, large and small. The people here still lived the simple and hard life of primitive society.
Living in this bitterly cold land, the people of Beiming have exceptionally strong physical strength, and their Qi and blood are also very vigorous. Even ordinary people can reach the level of warriors in terms of combat effectiveness!
However, this lifestyle also brought significant drawbacks. The cold climate resulted in a sparse population in Beiming, with its total population less than one-tenth that of the Shenwu Empire. Furthermore, due to a lack of supplies, Beiming frequently clashed with Beiliang.
"General Li, when do we begin?" Liu Wudi galloped over to Li Cunxu's side, his face brimming with excitement as he asked impatiently, "Based on my understanding of the Northern Ming, no tribe can stop us before we reach the city of the Northern Ming royal family!"
Originally, Beiliang's cavalry was enough to suppress the tribes on the border of Beiming. Now with the addition of Li Xingyun's elite troops, Liu Wudi was even more confident and could no longer suppress his inner anxiety.
"Send the message!" Li Cunxu's voice echoed through the tent, resounding like a resounding bell, causing pain in the eardrums. His gaze was fixed on the map, as if he wanted to take in the entire vast land.
"Divide our forces into three groups and advance in a blanket manner, advancing three hundred miles today!" He spoke with decisiveness, without the slightest hesitation. Liu Wudi stood aside, watching Li Cunxu, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. He had expected Li Cunxu to discuss the battle plan with him, but he hadn't expected him to issue the order so decisively.
Li Cunxu certainly knew that the tribes on the border could not compete with his army, but he still had to formulate a strategy to catch the Beiming Empire off guard as quickly as possible! This would not only help him achieve victory as quickly as possible, but also minimize the possibility of a protracted war with the Beiming Empire.
