It was late at night, and Su Sanniang, who had been unconscious for a long time, woke up and looked around alertly. She saw that she was lying on a pile of thatched grass in the dim fire. The dilapidated wooden walls around her looked like an ancient temple. Shi Dakai and a Taiping soldier were discussing something.

Seeing Su Sanniang wake up, Shi Dakai said to the soldiers: "You go."

After calling the soldiers away, Shi Dakai came to Su Sanniang and asked, "Are you awake? Are you better?"

Su Sanniang asked, "Where is this? What's wrong with us?" She was about to sit up, but she fell down again due to the pain of the knife wound.

"Don't move, you were injured by two swords and need a good rest." Shi Dakai smiled, "That... you don't know where you came from. One of you killed the Qing Yao who surrounded us, and then took me to escape from Liyu'ao. I was about to praise you, but you suddenly fell down and fell unconscious on the way, so I had to carry you and escape all the way to the ruined temple of Siming Mountain. Later, several brothers broke through and followed. I ordered one person to join the army and let them gather in Xilingguan twenty miles away tomorrow at noon, and the remaining few people were watching around. It's very safe at present, don't worry."

Su Sanniang said, "King Yi, I am very moved by your willingness to sacrifice yourself for us today. I swear to the heaven that I, Feng Yuliang, will follow King Yi to the ends of the world in this life, and there will be no complaints!"

Shi Dakai smiled and asked, "Su Sanniang, when will you still hide your brother?"

Su Sanniang was shocked: "You...how do you know my true identity?"

Shi Dakai looked around, closed the temple gate, and said, "I have bandaged the wound on your body for you."

Su Sanniang was stunned, touched her breasts, and immediately understood everything, and said in shame: "I...I...I...even Luo Dagang, I have never seen my body."

Shi Dakai comforted and said, "Don't worry, I, Shi Dakai, are not that kind of person. Also, only you know and I know this. For outsiders, you are still the King of Sha Feng Yuliang, do you understand?"

Su Sanniang replied: "I'm relieved. I'm so sorry for hiding it for you and your brothers for so long."

Shi Dakai said: "No need to apologize. If you do this, you must have your own difficulties. But I don't understand. Didn't you die in the Battle of Wuhu four years ago?"

Su Sanniang shook her head and looked out the window at night and said, "Four years ago, Luo Dagang and I were indeed injured by the Qing demon in the Battle of Wuhu. After withdrawing back to Tianjing, Your Majesty said that the Imperial Doctor was treating us, but Luo Dagang was too seriously injured and died that month. Everyone knows the relationship between me and Luo Dagang, and thought I would go with him, but I didn't want me to be rescued. I am eager to take revenge and ask Your Majesty to let me come out again, but Your Majesty... He is greedy for my beauty and declares that I am dead and quietly puts me under house arrest in Sixiu Palace. He told me that if I want to be free, I can only serve as his ceremonial ceremonies. I know that this position is to manage the internal affairs of Your Majesty, but in fact it becomes his beauties in the harem. I refuse, and this level has been locked up for two years."

Shi Dakai sighed and said, "So that's it. Since His Majesty entered Tianjing, he has been addicted to wine and sex and ignored the government. Unexpectedly, even a female general like you would not let go... It's no wonder that Yang Xiuqing rode on his head and eventually led to a Tianjing rebellion. Alas, it's a pity... Then, two years ago, why did Your Majesty arrange for you to come to our army?"

Su Sanniang was stunned, wondering if the following is really inappropriate.

Shi Da smiled and said, "Sanniang, even if you don't say it, I guessed about seven or eight points. Do you know what the power is on you? Your Majesty once told me that there are two magical powers, monsters and purifying messengers in this world. I have never believed it. When I saw you today, I understand that you are certainly not a monster, and naturally you should be the one of millions of people. Since you are not an ordinary human, I think you should be qualified to know the magical treasure of Kunlun Mountain."

Su Sanniang thought for a long time and finally asked, "Is that treasure map still there with King Yi?"

Shi Dakai said, "That's right. After ten years of the founding of the Celestial Empire, how can there be a reason for the king to assist the king? If Your Majesty wants to arrange a detailed work by my side, you just need to send a prime minister to participate in the discussion. Send a king here is nothing more than to get closer to me and obtain more valuable information. My Shi Dakai's private information is insignificant, and the only thing worth it is the treasure map, undoubtedly."

Su Sanniang smiled bitterly and said, "The King of Yi is indeed very good at seeing. Since you have inferred the truth, I, Su Sanniang, don't have to bear the charge of betraying Your Majesty. However, over the past year, Your Majesty has communicated with me with letters, only talking about Qing Yao, and never asked about this matter at all. I think that the trap of Tianjing has been resolved, and the King of Yi is in a trough again. Your Majesty may no longer care about those mysterious things."

Shi Dakai said, "I am the same thing. I, Shi Dakai, dare to act and take responsibility. I run away from the capital. I will not surrender to the Qing demons, nor will I return to the field. Every battle I fight is for the kingdom of heaven. Although I am trapped in the Jiangnan area, even if I really find the treasure one day, I will still be for the kingdom of heaven. I have no other intentions!"

Su Sanniang sighed, "What a pity, you and I are loyal, but they are treated like this by Your Majesty. It's really heartbreaking."

Shi Dakai said, "Okay, Your Majesty has your Majesty's idea. As ministers, how can we talk about Your Majesty's reason behind our backs? Sanniang, your power is very important to us. If you let you activate the power of purification again, can you do it?"

Su Sanniang shook her head and said, "I remember very clearly that the energy occurs in the lower dantian and runs in the great circumference. I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child. Once I understand the principles, I should be able to understand at once. Unfortunately, I have tried it a lot just now. There is no strange power in the dantian, completely the same as an ordinary person. The power declines sharply when I run away, and it feels like... like...what to say? It seems to be sealed."

Shi Dakai nodded and said, "In this way, I have a direction. Sanniang, the morale of the expeditionary army is now sluggish and we need talented people like you to inspire people. But one is far from enough. I decided that we should go to Kunlun Mountain to find treasures, attract monsters, and try to use it for our own purposes to make the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom come back. Before that, we will go back to Guangxi to recuperate, then go north to Sichuan, cross the Dadu River, and take Kunlun Mountain straight!"

Su Sanniang asked in confusion: "Since you have determined the target to be Kunlun Mountain, why do you still have to go south to Guangxi? Isn't this going in the opposite direction?"

Shi Dakai smiled and said, "Go to Guangxi, first, to rest and recuperate, to recruit soldiers for the Kingdom of Heaven, second, I want to take you back to Guiping to find Zhu Shihua, the white-bearded man, so that he can untie your sealed power and help you improve."

Su Sanniang said in surprise: "Why are you going to find him? Could it be that Zhu Shihua..."
