While Qiao Zhongguo was paying attention to the situation of the bandits in front, he also had a panoramic view of the confrontation between Meng Guxue and Baili Chengyou behind him.
The mountain of swords and sea of blood in front of him was really ordinary to him. Back then, on the battlefield, human life was not human life at all. Even he wandered in front of the gate of hell several times and almost died.
The guards knew they were outmatched and were already running away desperately. The bandits were coming with force and were soon close at hand.
Qiao Zhongguo had no fear in his heart. He held a long sword in his hand to guide the Qiao family army behind him!
When he saw that the guards around Baili Chengyou were safe and sound, Qiao Zhongguo was not only not surprised, but also understood clearly.
That was the second male lead that Jiaojiao was talking about, and he had dreamed about everything. How could he be so simple?
During these days, he had been chatting with Baili Chengyou intentionally or unintentionally, and he could see that the third prince was very ambitious and had a lot of holes in his chest.
In this industry, everyone has something in mind.
The second prince wanted to destroy the Qiao family and took the opportunity to drag Prince Baili into trouble. Why didn't Prince Baili have this intention?
In short, after all calculations, in the situation between the two of them, the Qiao family is the one who must die.
But Qiao Jiajun has experienced life and death. Even if they are poisoned, don't think that they can be killed easily!
The reason why he pretended not to know Baili Chengyou's plans all the way was because he had his own plans.
Everyone wants the mantis to catch the cicada, but the oriole is behind. Why can't Qiao Zhongguo be the oriole?
If Baili Chengyou really has the ability to keep the second prince here forever, then he wouldn't mind helping Baili Chengyou secretly!
After all, this son of destiny is really difficult to kill!
If he could be killed by the hands of the "Second Male", although Qiao Zhongguo would inevitably suffer the consequences, the dilemma between the Crown Prince and the Qiao family in Beijing would naturally be resolved!
During the day, Prince Baili pretended to be worried in front of him, saying that his subordinate Aja had not arrived as scheduled.
If he guessed correctly, Aja and the three hundred elites might have been hiding in the dark, waiting for the best opportunity!
With his thoughts at this point, Qiao Zhongguo has sorted everything out.
In this game, what the Qiao family has to do is to protect Meng Guxue, protect themselves, and then sit back and watch the second prince and Baili Chengyou dog-eat-dog!
Among them, the one who surprised Qiao Zhongguo the most was Meng Guxue.
He did not expect that Meng Guxue would have a showdown with Baili Chengyou at this time to get six Nanli secret guards to protect the Qiao family.
In this way, he has a better chance of winning. After all, he, Qiao Zhongguo, also has helpers!
Soon after, the fierce bandits had already come forward. Qiao Zhongguo danced like a tiger with a long knife. Although his limbs gradually became numb, it still couldn't stop him from taking the lead!
The six Nanli secret guards did their duty, and together with the Qiao family army, they protected the Xiche and fought and retreated!
On the other side, when the second prince saw Qiao Diyi approaching, there was no look of surprise on his face.
You always have to work hard to save face, and Qiao Zhongguo is indeed impeccable!
He knew that Qiao Zhongguo must have seen through his plan, but it didn't matter. As long as there was no evidence, he would not be afraid even if Qiao Zhongguo said it in front of his father!
Furthermore, since Qiao Zhongguo personally sent his precious son here, he would not "disappoint" his wishes.
Qiao Diyi—just happened to be buried with Zhufeng!
Qiao Diyi had already taken the Baidu Bufu Pill, and all the poison in his body dissipated in an instant. At this time, his whole body was full of energy!
Of course, he had already used his internal strength to break out into a sweat. At this time, he came to the second prince in a state of embarrassment and said breathlessly:
"Your Majesty... Your Highness! Erlang of the Qiao family is... ordered by my father to come and protect His Majesty!"
The second prince was also an old actor. He leaned against the car wall with a pale face and whispered:
"Thank you, Mr. Qiao, for your kindness. Look! Bandits! Those bandits are coming!"
The guards were all weak, but they still gathered around him dutifully.
Gui Yue supported the second prince with a worried look on her face, and was about to shout for the second prince to retreat quickly when a pill was suddenly thrust into his mouth by the second prince at lightning speed.
Guiyue was shocked and was about to ask in a low voice when she felt the numbness in her limbs gradually subsided and her strength returned!
"Your Highness!"
Guiyue whispered in shock.
The second prince winked at him and lowered his voice and said: "Guiyue, someone will escort me out of the palace in a while, you stay..."
Having said this, the second prince took a deep look at Qiao Diyi, who had his back turned to him, and continued:
"We must ensure that Qiao Diyi dies in the bandit's knife!"
Guiyue's eyes widened when she heard this.
This this......
Isn't Erlang Qiao here to protect His Highness?
The second prince saw that Gui Yue was still confused, so he clenched his fists and said hoarsely: "Gui Yue, Zhu Feng is dead. He was killed by Qiao Tianjing in the capital..."
Guiyue trembled when she heard the words, and suddenly lost her mind.
Lord Feng... Lord Feng is dead? How can this be? That's Master Feng!
When the second prince saw Gui Yue's unbelievable expression, his heart became more and more painful and he said sternly:
"So, execute the order!"
At this time, the bandits had already rushed forward. Guiyue saw Qiao Diyi and the guards resisting desperately, looking extremely exhausted.
He was confused in his heart, but he was only sure of one thing. His Highness's order must be carried out unconditionally!
This is the first rule Master Feng once taught them...
"Subordinates take orders!"
Guiyue accepted the order with a trembling voice.
The second prince nodded and took advantage of the chaos to retreat.
At this time, among the bandits rushing up from the side, several of them suddenly took off their coats, revealing black night clothes with a golden auspicious cloud embroidered on their shoulders.
This was the mark agreed upon by the second prince and them.
"Your Highness, come this way!"
The second prince nodded and stepped back, looking straight back at Qiao Diyi, who was almost surrounded by bandits.
He saw Guiyue wiping her tears with her sleeves, then charging forward with her sword.
At this time, Guiyue has recovered his strength, and these bandits are nothing in his eyes.
The second prince saw Gui Yue break through the bandits' siege and come behind Qiao Diyi.
Qiao Diyi turned his head, showing a look of joy and gratitude, and opened his mouth to say something to Guiyue.
The next moment, Guiyue raised the knife and stabbed Qiao Diyi straight into the heart!
Immediately afterwards, more and more bandits swarmed up, and his sight was blocked. He only heard screams and knew that everything was a foregone conclusion...
Qiao Diyi was poisoned and was powerless. Guiyue was in his prime and unexpectedly, so Qiao Diyi was doomed!
Even if Guiyue fails to hit him, the bandits will kill Qiao Diyi with their swords, and perhaps Qiao Diyi will also be left with an incomplete corpse!
Thinking of this, the second prince's lips curled up slightly, and he strode away with the dead soldiers from the Northern Kingdom, and then his face was covered with bitterness.
Even if Qiao Diyi dies, Zhufeng will never come back...
The only consolation now is that Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjing will feel his pain at this moment!
The second prince had a sinister look on his face and walked quickly towards the hillside not far away.
Wait a minute, he has already laid a dragnet, he will kill Qiao Zhongguo with his own hands, and then return to Beijing to see Qiao Tianjing in agony with his own eyes!

Shen Yuanbai was escorted by a group of people to the high ground. He raised his eyes and saw the Qiao family fighting and retreating around the Xicha. They were in order and were extremely conspicuous in this chaotic killing field.
He looked away slightly and saw Baili Chengyou and his party not far from the wedding car.
Judging from the way they were killing everyone, they didn't seem to be poisoned.
Shen Yuanbai sneered, with no surprise on his face.
The next moment, he waved to the person behind him.
A man in black came forward and saluted respectfully, "Your Highness."
Shen Yuanbai said coldly: "Send the order and attack Qiao Zhongguo and Baili Chengyou with all your strength!"
"yes!"
The man gestured behind him.
Immediately afterwards, a person broke away from the team, hid in a hiding place, and then blew a whistle with a strange tone.
The second prince stood with his hands behind his back, and the strong night wind blew his hem.
The situation here is all over, it doesn't matter even if those dead soldiers can't kill Qiao Zhongguo and Baili Chengyou, as long as they expose their flaws!
Because, he will take action himself!
————
Qiao Zhongguo could feel his movements becoming more and more astringent, apparently using his internal force to catalyze the poison in his body.
However, he did not show any signs of panic, and spoke loudly from time to time to boost morale.
At this moment, a strange whistle sounded, mixed with the sound of wind and shouts of death, which was not very obvious.
But the next moment, a group of bandits suddenly rushed here in a swarm!
After just one encounter, Qiao Zhongguo clearly felt that this group of "bandits" could be said to be much more powerful than the previous mob!
"Be careful! It's serious!"
Qiao Zhongguo shouted loudly, raised his knife to fend off one person, and the other person immediately took up his position and followed up. His moves were fierce, with the force of opening and closing.
When Qiao Zhongguo saw this, a deep sense of familiarity instantly came over him!
He has been fighting against the Northerners for so many years, and has long understood their style. The style of play of these people in front of him is clearly that of the Northerners!
Moreover, the real bandits coveted the dowry, and each one of them had their own selfish motives, and their tactics were soft and perfunctory towards people like them who were bent on escaping.
Nothing like this group of people in front of me, who are ruthless and cruel, just to kill them!
As a result, the Qiao family's defensive pressure increased sharply, and even the six Nanli secret guards on the outside were gradually struggling!
Qiao Liu sat on the carriage and had an overview of the overall situation. When he saw this, he raised his voice and asked for instructions:
"General! The carriage is too slow and the target is too big. Do you want to abandon the carriage?"
Qiao Zhongguo assessed the situation, but before he spoke, Meng Guxue had already opened the car curtain with a pale face.
"Abandon the car! I can abandon the car!"
She spoke with a firm face, but soon her face turned pleading:
"The maid inside is like a sister to me, can you please take her with you! We promise to cooperate and never cause any trouble!"
Sitting in the carriage, Xiaotao was shocked and moved when she heard Meng Guxue's words.
The war broke out tonight, and she was just a little maid, so she had already been prepared to die.
Just... just leave her a knife!
She doesn't want to be ruined by those beasts. She, Xiao Tao, wants to be innocent even if she dies!
Thinking of this, Xiaotao shouted with a cry:
"It doesn't matter if you can't. Please take the young lady away safely!"
Qiao Zhongguo didn't hesitate too much and gestured to Qiao Liu, "Abandon the car!"
Qiao Liu nodded, looked at Qiao Eleven on the other side, and said to Meng Guxue:
"Princess Nanning, I'm sorry, please get on your subordinate's back. Your maid will take care of you."
Meng Guxue nodded gratefully, got into the car and grabbed Xiao Tao's hand.
"Xiao Tao, don't do stupid things or have stupid thoughts. I just want you to be well. Otherwise, I'm alone in a foreign country. How do you want me to live?"
Xiao Tao's eyes were red, and she nodded heavily when she heard this, "Xiao Tao listens to Miss."
The two of them hurriedly climbed onto the backs of Qiao's secret guards.
Upon seeing this, Qiao Zhongguo issued an order, "Don't mess up the formation, open first and then close, shrink the circle!"
"yes!"
Everyone in the Qiao family went around the carriage in a well-trained manner, surrounding Meng Guxue in the middle from beginning to end.
In the distance, the second prince saw this scene and finally raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
"The time is right! Take action!"
As soon as Shen Yuanbai finished speaking, a strange whistle sounded again, and countless black figures suddenly appeared in all directions. They were all covered in black scarves and holding bows and arrows!
"Fire the arrow!"
The whistle sounded as a signal, and with a swish sound, countless black arrows flew from a distance!
This is an indiscriminate attack!
In addition to the Qiao family and Baili Chengyou who were given special care, many bandits also died among the random arrows!
"Your Highness, the other party is indeed well prepared!"
A Tu raised his knife to block the incoming arrows and spoke with a solemn expression.
Baili Chengyou kept the long sword in his hand, and sneered when he heard this: "The dignified prince of the Yong Kingdom uses thieves from the Northern Kingdom. This is already the same crime as treason!"
"The emperor of the Yong Dynasty is also a fool, and he is very kind to Shen Yuanbai. If Shen Yuanbai is really allowed to succeed in the future, it will be hard to say whether the Yong Dynasty's surname is Shen or Jin!"
In Baili Chengyou's dream, Shen Yuanbai had never been so dependent on Beiguo, but now it seems that Shen Yuanbai could not have accomplished anything without Beiguo's help!
"Your Highness, what about us now?" A Tu asked in a low voice.
Baili Chengyou immediately waved his right hand.
This opportunity was on his lips. He, Shen Yuanbai, dared to use people from the Northern Kingdom and made such a big fuss, so it was natural for him to suppress the bandits and destroy the enemy!
Swords have no eyes. If Shen Yuanbai, who was collaborating with thieves and gangsters, was accidentally killed, that would be extremely common!
"Let Aja do it!"
When A Tu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
I saw him take out the bone whistle from his girdle again, and this time the whistle sounded, extremely high-pitched, breaking through the din of the entire venue.
In less than half a cup of tea, the uniform sound of horse hooves reached everyone's ears.
Soon, the sounds of fighting were heard from where the bows and arrows came. Under the third prince of Nanli Kingdom, the capable general Aja came with his elite troops!
Not three hundred men, but five hundred riders!
Qiao Zhongguo heard the commotion in the distance, and his suspicions were finally confirmed at this moment.
Knew it!
"Protect the princess with all your strength!"
In this way, the Qiao family only needs to protect Meng Guxue, and then watch the two tigers fight!
Meng Guxue lay on Qiao Liu's back, using the firelight in the distance to see the corpses on the ground, as well as the shocking blood-red color.
She trembled slightly, and finally buried her head on Qiao Liu's back, not daring to look at him anymore.
End it quickly...
Let this sinful killing end quickly!
Qiao Zhongguo was already out of breath. He looked out from a distance and saw that the place where the second prince had been had been swamped by bandits.
There was a hidden worry in his heart.
"Second brother...I don't know what's going on with the second child."

"Wow! Why is this person so difficult to kill!"
A figure suddenly stood up from the pile of dead people again.
He was covered in blood and his face was unrecognizable. At this time, all the bandits were surrounding him with knives, but no one dared to step forward.
"You know I'm hard to kill, can't you change your target?"
"No wonder you are being plotted against. You bandits are the real deal!"
The bloody man spoke as if he were an old man, but his voice sounded full of youthfulness.
Yes, the bloody man who confronted the bandits was Qiao Diyi!
He had long since taken the Bai Du Bu Invade Pill to regain his strength. When Guiyue approached from behind, he had already been on guard.
When Guiyue drew the knife and stabbed him, he twisted Guiyue's wrist and wiped the knife on Guiyue's own neck.
Blood spurted out and covered his face. Guiyue Xu didn't expect that he had the strength to resist, and the expression on his face was frozen in shock and astonishment.
The bandits didn't expect that they would suddenly fight among themselves, and they all screamed in surprise.
At that time, Qiao Diyi sharply caught a glimpse of the second prince walking away, and he wanted to catch up with him. Unexpectedly, after the bandits reacted, they came up one after another to die, and actually entangled him.
"Aren't you bandits? If you don't steal the dowry from behind, why are you holding on to me?"
Qiao Diyi's face was full of confusion, but his face was blind now, only his white teeth were still shining.
The bandits were all startled when Qiao Diyi said this, and suddenly looked at each other.
(☉_☉)(☉_☉)
Yes, aren't they here to steal the dowry? Why did you kill the boss?
Seeing that everyone was stunned, Qiao Diyi immediately got angry and kicked the corpse at his feet out.
Everyone was also afraid of being killed by Qiao Diyi. They were shocked when they saw this and retreated continuously.
Qiao Diyi looked at the gap where everyone was hiding, used Qing Gong and ran away.
His goal was very clear, he chased in the direction the second prince had just left, and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.
Dad said that the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind, so he is staring at the second prince from behind!
In case the second prince wants to use a cruel trick, he will quietly "help" him. If he can take the opportunity to send him away completely, everyone will be happy!
————
Shen Yuanbai looked over the entire scene from a high place and couldn't help but sneered when he saw Baili Chengyou's elite men appearing.
He knew that Baili Chengyou was not that simple!
But it doesn't matter.
Except for Zhufeng and Uncle Zhou, everyone else died. Anyway, it was all for the great cause!
From the day the Qiao family joined the trip to Nanli, his plans began to change.
Meng Guxue is no longer the center of this plan. His most urgent wish now is to destroy the Qiao family!
As for Baili Chengyou, it would be great if he could be eradicated by the way.
Now Baili Chengyou's people have also ended up, and the situation has been completely disrupted, which is more conducive to him fishing in troubled waters!
Thinking of this, Shen Yuanbai cast his eyes on Qiao Zhongguo in the distance.
The Qiao family was still resisting, but it was obvious that they were struggling. Even Qiao Zhongguo was injured.
But even so, they still kept Meng Guxue firmly in the middle.
If Baili Chengyou's elite break through the perimeter and go to support, things will become difficult.
The attack has been unable to take place for a long time. It seems that Meng Guxue cannot be taken away...
Thinking of this, Shen Yuanbai still felt a little regretful. After all, he was still very interested in Meng Guxue's secret.
And those three recipes...
That's all, now that he has the full help of King Jinyu and has the human and financial resources, Meng Guxue is not so necessary.
As for those weird things about her, let them be buried completely with her death!
"Order, attack by force!"
Shen Yuanbai suddenly spoke coldly.
"yes!"
The whistle sounded again, this time sharp and long.
Almost at the same time, the two "bandits" confronting the Qiao family and Baili Chengyou seemed to be possessed and began a crazy suicidal attack!
They gave up their defense and charged forward with all their strength!
The Qiao family's battle formation was instantly impacted. If it were normal, such a powerful enemy could still stop it.
But at this moment, each of their faces turned pale, and they were obviously struggling to hold on.
The formation was inevitably disrupted, and Meng Guxue saw a sharp knife slice down Qiao Liu's arm, almost cutting her thigh!
"ah!"
She let out a quick and short exclamation, but immediately bit her lower lip.
She...she just said that she must try her best to cooperate with the Qiao family and not hold back!
Thinking of this, Meng Guxue shed tears and simply shrank her head and closed her eyes, not daring to look anymore.
The worst... the worst is death!
Shen Yuanbai looked at the chaos here from a distance, knowing that a flaw had been revealed, so he stretched out his hand and said in a stern voice:
"Here comes the bow! Here comes the arrow!"
The person at the back immediately took an extremely exquisite bow, and another person stood at one side, holding three arrows in his hand.
The bow is completely white and cold to the touch.
If Meng Guxue saw this bow, she would definitely feel it was very familiar.
Because this is Shen Yuanbai's favorite weapon, named Bai Xue.
In the dream, Shen Yuanbai was obedient to her and even asked her to try to pull Bai Xue's hand.
But the snow was heavy and it was difficult to pull a good bow, so Meng Guxue had to force it, and cut her hand.
Shen Yuanbai was extremely distressed at that time, but Meng Guxue didn't care much and joked:
"As expected, it's Bai Xue Gong. He knows that it needs to be dyed red to look good. Mr. Shen, please show me~"
Shen Yuanbai couldn't defeat Meng Guxue, so he drew his bow and arrow, and shot down a peony on the opposite side of the garden without even shaking the peony leaves.
At that time, Zhufeng was standing by and said with a smile: "Princess, the prince just doesn't like to show off. If you ask his subordinates, there are not many people in the world who are better at archery than the prince!"
...
Shen Yuanbai stood on the slope of the mountain, his posture was like a pine tree, and his breathing was steady.
The next moment, he opened his bow, nocked the arrow, slowly turned his arm, and pointed the tip of the arrow at Meng Guxue on Qiao Liu's back, and at the back of her head.
The cold wind blew the broken hair on Shen Yuanbai's forehead. He paused for a moment, and then changed the target without hesitation.
This time, he aimed at Qiao Zhongguo, who was fighting.
Qiao Zhongguo is astute. If he kills Meng Guxue first, it will definitely make him wary. In this case, it will not be easy to kill him again.
On the contrary, without Qiao Zhongguo, the Qiao family's secret guards are nothing more than a pile of loose sand, and Meng Guxue will naturally be able to capture them!
With his thoughts at this point, Shen Yuanbai concentrated on holding his breath and stretched the bowstring to the extreme!
Qiao Zhongguo felt stiff and weak all over, and he had to sigh in his heart. After all, he had been away from the battlefield for a long time, and the medicine to weaken his tendons actually made him so weak.
While resisting the constant attacks, he glanced back hopefully.
If you hold on a little longer, reinforcements should be arriving soon...
call out--
At this moment, a sharp arrow roared across the sky, its sharpness and speed were far beyond imagination!
The danger happened at that moment. Qiao Zhongguo felt something in his heart. He looked up suddenly and saw the ice-cold tip of the arrow heading straight for his heart!
This is to kill him with one blow!

Everyone was attracted by the sound of arrows. Qiao Jiajun turned their heads one after another. When they saw Qiao Zhongguo exposed to the flying arrows, they were all so shocked that their eyes were splitting!
"General!"
Several voices sounded in unison, and regardless of the distance, everyone swooped forward without hesitation, trying to block the fatal blow for Qiao Zhongguo.
Qiao Liu was so horrified that he put Meng Guxue down on his back and ran away.
As a result, he stumbled as soon as he took a step. The huge panic made even his well-trained hands weak!
Meng Guxue was a little confused. She kept her eyes closed and didn't know what happened.
When she looked in the direction where Qiao Liu was going, she happened to see a sharp arrow pierce into Qiao Zhongguo's arms!
Meng Guxue opened her mouth suddenly, the blood on her face faded, her eyes widened, and she was so horrified that she lost her voice!
No! No no no!
She didn't want to kill Mr. Qiao!
She never thought that begging Mr. Qiao to protect her would cause Mr. Qiao to lose his life!
Meng Guxue felt the world spinning, and her ears were filled with the grief-stricken cries of the Qiao family's secret guards:
"General!"
Boom——
Seeing the tall body fall straight to the ground, the blood of everyone in the Qiao family stagnated, and it felt like the world collapsed at this moment.
No! impossible!
The general is an immortal mountain, an eternal light, and the aspiration of all of them!
The people from the North were ecstatic when they saw this scene, and they rushed forward like locusts one by one.
Each of them wants to make up for it again. Any scars left on Qiao Zhongguo's body are military exploits and glory that they can brag about!
"Thief! Thief from the North!"
When Qiao Jiajun saw this scene, his eyes were bloodshot and filled with hatred!
"Get out! No one can touch the general!"
Even if they were poisoned, under the extreme grief and anger at this time, the Qiao family's secret guards also exerted endless strength and fought with the people from the North.
The battle was extremely fierce for a moment. Qiao Liu and Qiao Eleven, who were at the rear, staggered over and knelt down next to Qiao Zhongguo.
The two of them were about to cry out in grief, but suddenly they were both stunned.
The next moment, the two of them looked up to the sky and shouted the word "general", their voices hoarse with grief!
Baili Chengyou turned his head and saw Qiao Liu and Qiao Eleven crying on Qiao Zhongguo, and he couldn't help but be filled with shock.
Although he also had the idea of getting rid of the Qiao family, when he saw a mountain falling suddenly, the shock still hit his heart.
Without Qiao Zhongguo in the Yong Dynasty, it was like the magic needle of Dinghai being drawn out. They did not know how to cherish such a loyal minister.
How wonderful it would be if Qiao Zhongguo was born in their Nanli country...
Baili Chengyou sighed in his heart, but he was decisive in killing in the end. At this time, the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly. He immediately gathered his thoughts and raised his hand to point to the place where the flying arrow came from.
He knew that Shen Yuanbai was a superb archer and could pierce a Yang with a hundred steps.
That arrow must have been shot by him!
"A'Tu! Send word to A'le, the man is on that slope! At any cost, he must be allowed to sleep here!"
A'Tu responded solemnly and flew to deliver the order.
Baili Chengyou himself turned around without hesitation and ran towards Meng Guxue, shouting: "Others, follow!"
If he guessed correctly, Shen Yuanbai's next target is-Meng Guxue!
The northern warriors here all swarmed up like crazy. Baili Chengyou couldn't break through for a while, so he shouted:
"Meng Guxue, hide behind the Qiao family!"
On the hillside in the distance, Shen Yuanbai watched the arrow pierce into Qiao Zhongguo's arms, and saw him fall weakly. At this time, he still felt unbelievable in his heart.
He was confident in his archery skills. As long as Qiao Zhongguo did not dodge, he would definitely die!
Did he kill Qiao Zhongguo like this?
It can't be said that it was easy, because all the strategies along the way were intertwined and were the result of his full use of the people from the North and his exhaustive efforts.
Once Qiao Zhongguo died, the Qiao family was like a building that was about to collapse, and the imperial brother also lost a lot of help, so his chances of winning have now been greatly increased!
At this point in his thoughts, an indescribable joy surged into Shen Yuanbai's heart.
finally! He finally got rid of Qiao Zhongguo!
But it was not the time to celebrate yet, because he saw Baili Chengyou trying his best to rush to Meng Guxue's side.
Baili Chengyou was on guard, so it would not be easy to kill him. Judging from his appearance, it was obvious that he valued Meng Guxue very much. In this way, the possibility of abducting Meng Guxue was extremely slim.
It's better to kill Meng Guxue first, and then take Baili Chengyou's life while he is in shock!
In this way, today is a complete victory!
After all, Shen Yuanbai had excellent qualities and quickly calmed down from the joy of killing Qiao Zhongguo.
He raised his hand again, drew his bow, nocked an arrow, and then pointed it at Meng Guxue's heart!
Meng Guxue was greatly hit by Qiao Zhongguo's death at this time, and was obviously in a state of confusion.
Just right...
Shen Yuanbai slowly raised the corners of his mouth, and as the bowstring was pulled to the end, the murderous intent burned in his heart!
Just when his knuckles turned white and he was about to let go,
Boom——
A thunder sounded without warning, the thunder was deafening, and everyone was shocked!
Boom——
The second thunder sounded immediately, and this time countless lightnings rushed from the distant sky, exploding above everyone's heads, and instantly illuminated the entire place as if it were daylight!
Everyone subconsciously raised their hands to block it. At this time, the third thunder came as promised, almost ringing in their ears!
Boom!
There was no moisture in the air. The thunder came without warning and was extremely strange!
Meng Guxue looked up blankly. At this moment, a mysterious feeling suddenly came into his heart.
She remembered a scene in her dream.
At that time, she and Shen Lang knew each other and were inseparable, and they made a vow never to separate.
At that time, she borrowed the song "Shangxie" to express her feelings
——The mountains have no mausoleums, and the rivers are exhausted. Thunder trembles in winter, and it rains and snows in summer. When heaven and earth are united, I dare to be with you.
Shen Lang was greatly shocked at that time. He said sincerely: "Xue'er, if there is a next life, I hope that God will thunder three times so that I can recognize you and my sweetheart."
She chuckled when she heard this, "Then the thunder can't ring in the winter, otherwise it will really be like the saying 'winter thunder shakes', and then I will have to 'break up with you'."
"No nonsense!"
Shen Lang covered her mouth, and the two chatted and laughed, making a fuss.
"Winter thunder shakes..."
Meng Guxue looked up at the fading lightning and murmured in a daze.
Although it was not winter at this time, she felt a strong sense of fate in her heart.
It was as if there was a thin line between her and Shen Yuanbai, and now it would be completely cut off!
Shen Yuanbai also accidentally put down the bow and arrow in his hand, because he also had a mysterious feeling in his heart that he had not seen for a long time.
And this time, the feeling was so clearly pointed at Meng Guxue!

"It turns out it was her..."
Shen Yuanbai's face showed surprise and he murmured.
The first time he had such an inexplicable feeling was when the Qiao family's youngest daughter was one month old, when he went with his royal brother to the Qiao Mansion to congratulate her.
At that time, he had a premonition that he was about to meet his destined person.
But that night, Ah Sheng stayed with him until it was close to curfew, but that person never showed up.
Then on the day of the Lantern Festival, his expectations were also disappointed.
From that time on, he seemed to have lost this premonition. To this day, this sense of fate has guided Meng Guxue so clearly.
But, it's too late, everything is too late...
If he had met Meng Guxue at Qiao's house that day, he might have followed his thoughts, gotten closer to her, and gotten to know her.
She might have given him all those recipes and poems a long time ago.
But now, they have gone in opposite directions, and he, Shen Yuanbai, does not need to be bound by meaningless love!
That's it...
Thinking of this, Shen Yuanbai raised his hand again without hesitation and drew the full bow in an instant!
At this moment, Meng Guxue felt a strong sense of crisis in her heart. She secretly felt that the line was almost broken!
It's Shen Yuanbai! Shen Yuanbai wants to kill her!
"Where is he! Where is he! He wants to kill me!"
Meng Guxue exclaimed, looking around, and suddenly focused on a point in the distance!
There!
Her intuition told her that Shen Yuanbai was there!
"Meng Guxue! Come to me!"
When Baili Chengyou heard Meng Guxue's call, the sword in his hand became sharper and sharper, passing one after another from the northern country. The eager look on his face did not seem to be fake at all!
"Come here quickly!"
He shouted loudly!
Meng Guxue reacted, turned on her toes, and ran towards Baili Chengyou without hesitation!
At this moment, the sharp sound of arrows sounded again, which was soul-killing and heart-pounding!
Meng Guxue's eyes widened, looking at Baili Chengyou who was running towards her desperately with a look of horror, and she cried out:
"Baili, save me!"
At this critical moment, Xiao Tao, who had been put down by Eleven, suddenly rushed over with all his strength, shouting:
"Don't be afraid, Miss, Xiaotao will save you!"
When Meng Guxue heard this, her whole body trembled. She didn't even have time to turn her head, Xiao Tao had already hugged her from behind decisively and fearlessly!
There was a roar in Meng Guxue's ears, and huge fear and panic swept through her body instantly!
The reason why she asked Baili Chengyou for help was because Baili had martial arts and strength.
She would rather die now than bear the burden of another human life, let alone Xiao Tao who cared about her heart and soul!
Meng Guxue wanted to struggle and push Xiao Tao away, but Xiao Tao was so persistent that she hugged her tightly!
Miss, no one has ever been so kind to Xiao Tao.
Miss, you must live well!
The lady is the most special lady, the best and best lady in the world...
Xiao Tao smiled with tears in her eyes, and then pushed Meng Guxue away with all her strength!
Meng Guxue stumbled suddenly and threw herself into the arms of Baili Chengyou, who was coming over. She was so frightened that she trembled all over and shed tears.
As soon as he stood up with Baili Chengyou's strength, Meng Guxue rushed back regardless.
No, Xiaotao shouldn't die for her!
She has already killed Mr. Qiao, she has already sinned deeply——
Meng Guxue raised her head in panic, but at this moment, all the chaotic thoughts stopped abruptly.
She looked forward in disbelief, and her heart almost skipped a beat at this moment!
She clearly saw a tall figure standing up from behind Xiao Tao!
He has a majestic posture, is as calm as a mountain, and has the courage to be invincible. He raised his sword and cut the life-threatening arrow in half.
He...he is clearly the dead Master Qiao!
Everyone gasped!
Meng Guxue even heard Baili Chengyou behind her let out a low cry.
The people from the North were also stunned, holding their knives and froze on the spot, their faces full of horror, as if they saw ghosts!
Qiao Jiajun's back was facing this way. Seeing that the people from the North suddenly froze, they all turned to look over.
The next moment, all the Qiao family's secret guards opened their eyes in disbelief, and then suddenly burst into ecstasy. They turned around and ran towards us, crying with joy!
"General!"
"General!"
Qiao Twenty-four was the youngest here. He immediately threw himself at Qiao Zhongguo's feet, hugging Qiao Zhongguo's thigh tightly, crying and shouting:
"Brothers! It's hot! The general is still hot! It's really the general who's back! Not a heroic spirit!"
"Twenty-four, go to hell! I'm fine! Your snot is rubbing on me!"
Qiao Zhongguo moved his legs and pretended to scold him. Such a familiar tone and such lively appearance made everyone laugh and cry again.
"General! Are you really okay? My subordinates... all my subordinates thought that they would just kill these northern thieves and let you go!"
Qiao Qi grabbed Qiao Zhongguo's arm and touched his chest again, with a look of lingering fear on his face.
"Yeah yeah!"
Every eldest man in the Qiao family had tears in his eyes, and they all looked at Qiao Zhongguo with ardent admiration.
When Qiao Zhongguo heard this, his heart ached and he was extremely moved.
He knew that what they said was true. If something unexpected happened to him today, they might really spill their blood here.
"It's okay, I'm okay! I'm okay!"
Qiao Zhongguo raised his hand and patted his chest, revealing his heart. Sure enough, there was no blood at all.
After everyone was happy, they slowly came back to their senses, with faces full of surprise.
"General, the arrow just now was clearly... clearly... how did you..."
Qiao Zhongguo pretended to be sophisticated and joked: "I have a lot of tricks you can't think of!"
After hearing this, all the secret guards of the Qiao family nodded with conviction, "It makes sense! It makes sense!"
Baili Chengyou: "..."
What a hell it is today!
That shit makes sense! What kind of trick is so incredible!
Qiao Zhongguo obviously failed to dodge, and the arrow shot into his heart as soon as he saw it!
Xiao Tao spent the rest of her life, she touched her body in disbelief.
She just pushed the young lady away with the belief that she would die. Who would have thought that she is still lucky to be alive!
After Meng Guxue was shocked, she stepped forward and hugged the stunned Xiaotao, crying and laughing at the same time.
"Xiao Tao! Silly Xiao Tao! Why are you so stupid! I would rather die!"
"Thank God, woo woo, great, everyone is alive!"
"Xiao Tao! Thank you! Thank you for being willing to do this for me! I really don't know how to thank you!"
Meng Guxue was talking incoherently. The joy at this moment was the pinnacle of her frustrated journey!
A false alarm, lost and found, it turns out...it turns out that life doesn't necessarily mean being high-ranking or relying on men.
As long as you are worthy of your own heart, as long as you find someone who treats you sincerely, this kind of joy and honor will surpass everything!
When Xiaotao heard Meng Guxue's thanks, she shook her head desperately and shed tears.
Great, the lady and she are both alive and well!

Everyone is happy here, there is no danger.
On the hillside in the distance, Shen Yuanbai's eyes widened, and for the first time he exclaimed in such a rude manner:
"Qiao Zhongguo! He is still alive!"
Shen Yuanbai was so shocked that he even felt a little dizzy and couldn't help but take a few steps back. The man in black next to him had quick eyes and quick hands and hurriedly supported him.
"Your Highness!"
The man in black lowered his head in astonishment and saw Shen Yuanbai's right hand holding the snow-white bow trembling uncontrollably!
"How...how is it possible!"
At this moment, no matter how hard Shen Yuanbai tried, he still couldn't figure out how Qiao Zhongguo survived!
He saw with his own eyes that arrow shot into Qiao Zhongguo's heart, it was absolutely true!
"What the hell is going on..."
Shen Yuanbai murmured absently.
In the past, it was clear that he was invincible, and he also knew how powerful the Qiao family was, so he worked hard to implement his plan, hoping to get rid of the Qiao family first!
Today, he has sent the arrow to Qiao Zhongguo's heart, but he is still unscathed!
Could it be... Could it be that the Qiao family is so favored by God that they are destined to be invincible!
This was the first time Shen Yuanbai doubted himself.
His face was pale and he looked around blankly, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Qiao Diyi quietly hid in the darkness behind him, watching Shen Yuanbai's gaffe with bated breath, waiting for the best opportunity.
Just now he found his way to the slope and saw a group of people headed by Shen Yuanbai from a distance.
When he quietly approached without making a sound and successfully hid in the bushes not far from them, he happened to see Shen Yuanbai shoot a powerful arrow at his father through the gaps in the leaves!
At that moment, even though he knew that there was a Vajra Indestructible Talisman in his father's arms, he was still so scared that he was sweating all over!
It's no exaggeration. If it weren't for the thinness of his throat, his heart would just jump out of his mouth!
He stared hard and saw that before the arrow arrived, his father's hand was already close to his chest.
Everyone probably thought this was dad's subconscious defensive action. Only he knew that it was dad activating the Vajra Indestructible Talisman, the life-saving talisman that my little sister had painstakingly selected for them!
Even so, when he saw his father falling to the ground, he was still horrified and could hardly help but rush to his side.
But before turning around, he remembered his father's instructions again.
Dad said that the Second Prince's side is entirely dependent on him!
And what his master taught him is that the battlefield is like a chessboard, the soldiers are the chess pieces, and the generals are the chess players.
When the general loses his position, the soldiers must take root in that position. They are most afraid of leaving their posts without authorization and being emotional!
Otherwise, by the time the general closes, one discrepancy may cause the entire game to be lost!
Thinking of this, Qiao Diyi gritted his teeth and finally stayed where he was!
He has to believe in his father. He is a great hero who is upright and a great general with both civil and military skills!
Dad still wants to live well, waiting to hold his fat grandson and granddaughter!
At this moment, seeing his father stand up unscathed, seeing Meng Guxue being protected by his father, seeing the second prince in chaos because of this, Qiao Diyi felt so happy!
What we want is this unexpected, comeback effect!
Qiao Diyi did not dare to let his mood fluctuate too much. He bent his waist and stared at the second prince, like a leopard watching its prey!
At this moment, he heard a rustling sound coming from behind him. It was not obvious, but if you listen carefully, you wouldn't miss it.
Qiao Diyi's heart trembled, someone else was coming! Not a lot!
"who!"
The man in black behind the second prince was indeed not a vegetarian. He soon noticed something strange and exclaimed in surprise!
Seeing that the other party was discovered, he simply stopped hiding and shouted: "Damn the bandit, he is hiding here to sneak attack, kill him!"
A team of elites rushed straight up from the slope. They were holding big swords and were fighting with the men in black in an instant!
Qiao Diyi took a closer look and instantly understood that the person coming was none other than Baili Chengyou's men!
It suddenly occurred to him that an opportunity was coming!
"Your Highness, what should we do now?"
The man in black who was guarding Shen Yuanbai was obviously someone with status, and he was asking Shen Yuanbai for his opinion.
Shen Yuanbai closed his eyes, inevitably feeling a sense of despair that the situation was over.
But the next moment, when he opened his eyes, his face was full of cruelty again.
"Jin Zhi, let all the manpower be concentrated at the Qiao family. Qiao Zhongguo must be kept here at all costs!"
As long as Qiao Zhongguo dies, Nanli and his party will not lose!
Jin Zhi's expression changed slightly when he heard this, "But Your Highness, the King has already given orders. Your safety is more important than anything else!"
There are also some northern warriors among the bandits whose identities have not been revealed, because their mission is to escort His Highness out of here safely!
When Shen Yuanbai heard this, he suddenly turned his head to look at Jin Zhi. His eyes were reddish and his expression was excited.
"If you really want me to go back with you, just listen to me!"
Jin Zhi was shocked when he saw this.
He has been in contact with His Highness for some time. His Highness is a pearl-like figure who has always been calm, calm and strategizing.
At this moment, His Highness is completely different from his usual self.
It seems that Qiao Zhongguo's "resurrection from the dead" has really completely disrupted His Highness's rhythm.
"Your Highness, what are you going to do?"
Jin Zhi also had responsibilities, so he had to ask more questions.
Shen Yuanbai was impatient, but he could not lose the help of Beiguo at this time, so he said coldly:
"This palace will act according to the original plan, please send someone quickly!"
Jin Zhi could not refuse Shen Yuanbai's request, so he could only take out the bone whistle and blow it himself. The sound was whine, deeper than what the other man in black had blown before.
The next moment, the northern warriors disguised as bandits showed fierce faces and rushed towards Qiao's house with their swords in hand!
The whistle is a signal, the short one is for attack, the long one is for retreat.
The whistle of three breaths means that they should sacrifice their lives to attack, no matter the cost!
Qiao Zhongguo led Qiao's army to fight and retreat. He thought he could still hold on, but he didn't expect that dozens of northern warriors suddenly came from all directions!
The secret guards of the Qiao family had persisted until now despite being poisoned, and they were already at the end of their strength.
Moreover, Qiao Zhongguo had just faked his death, and they had almost unleashed their full potential regardless of their own safety.
"General! I'm afraid something will go wrong today! Take Princess Nanning with you and take the first step!
"Yes! General, leave quickly!"
All the secret guards made pleas one after another, and they inevitably received several cuts on their bodies!
Qiao Zhongguo's face was as cold as ice and he turned around frequently.
Isn't it here yet?
According to their pace, it's time to hurry up!
Bah--
At this time, Qiao Qifen risked his own life to block a flanking attack for Qiao Zhongguo. His back was cut open by a knife, and he was bleeding profusely!
"Ah Qi!"
Qiao Zhongguo shouted sharply, his eyes turning red.
Qiao Qi begged: "General, leave quickly!"
"General, leave quickly!"
Everyone exclaimed in unison.
Qiao Zhongguo gritted his teeth and supported Qiao Qi, swung out a long knife, deflected the pursuing sword, and let out a long breath:
"We haven't reached despair yet!"
"Three passes through the gate of hell back then were much more thrilling than today! Are we going to lose to those back then?"
As soon as Qiao Zhongguo finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from behind, like rolling thunder, shaking the ground beneath his feet.
Qiao Zhongguo felt suddenly happy, turned his head suddenly, and heard a powerful voice coming from far away:
"General Hussar, the left deputy general, is here to help Master Qiao!"

Countless cavalry galloped in from the dark night, flying flags and writing a golden word "Yong"!
"General Hussar! It's General Guo who guards the southern border!"
Qiao Qi was already extremely weak, but when she saw the reinforcements, she immediately became excited and couldn't help shouting loudly.
Upon hearing this, the secret guards of the Qiao family glowed like a thirsty person receiving sweet rain!
"kill--"
The shouts of killing behind him were loud, and he didn't know how many people General Guo had sent.
Qiao Zhongguo's heart suddenly relaxed, feeling excited and moved at the same time.
He knew that if the master gained his trust, he would definitely send someone here without hesitation!
At this moment, he could finally laugh out loud!
You come and go, I try every move, but in the end, he, Qiao Zhongguo, wins this game!
On the distant slope, when the sound of horse hooves sounded, and when the banner of Yong Kingdom came into view, Shen Yuanbai's shoulders shook, and he could not help but feel that the situation was over.
He raised his eyes and looked out. The bandits all over the place were running away like bereaved dogs. Although those northerners had strict orders, they were not as brave as the dead soldiers and were not afraid of death. They were already retreating while fighting.
The shouts of killing behind him were equally deafening. They were Baili Chengyou's men, and Baili Chengyou also wanted to take the opportunity to bury his body here.
It was obviously a good situation, but when did it start to turn around?
Probably Qiao Zhongguo was hit by the fatal arrow and still unscathed!
Otherwise, the Qiao family's secret guard would be heartbroken and Meng Guxue's maid would die for the arrow.
His mind is still firm and he can still fire arrows. Baili Chengyou may not be able to protect Meng Guxue under the siege of the northern warriors!
Now, everything is in chaos...
He worked hard, lost Zhufeng, injured Uncle Zhou, lost so many people and horses, and still fetched water from a bamboo basket.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuanbai looked out blankly. Amidst the screams one after another, the night wind seemed to penetrate into the seams of his bones, making his whole body shiver, and his heart fell into an ice cave.
"Your Highness, it can't be done! My subordinates will protect you and retreat!"
Jin Zhi looked ugly. In this battle, the troops and horses that they had worked so hard to place in the Yong Dynasty in the north had suffered numerous casualties. It could be said that their muscles and bones were broken!
If His Highness is willing to return to the Northern Kingdom with him, these people will die as well.
But His Highness still has great ambitions and great plans in his heart, and he still has too many unwillingnesses to make plans, and he simply refuses to leave with him!
Shen Yuanbai let out a long sigh. He could sense Jin Zhi's dissatisfaction. He couldn't do anything too drastic without the support of Beiguo.
"Jin Zhi, let them retreat. Don't cause any more unnecessary casualties. What happened today is our fault. We will write a book to explain everything to my uncle."
Jin Zhi was shocked when he heard this.
Your Highness... Your Highness is finally willing to call the King uncle! Does this mean that he is one step closer to taking His Highness back to the North?
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Jin Zhi was so easy to coax, and now he had no resentment at all. He took out the bone whistle from his waist again and started blowing.
The northern warriors had long lost their will to fight. When they heard the order to retreat, they immediately blended into the crowd and regarded the bandits with mediocre martial arts as scapegoats.
Shen Yuanbai closed his eyes slightly, managed to adjust his mentality, and jumped down the slope.
Seeing this, Jin Zhi hurriedly followed and asked in a low voice:
"Your Highness, now you want to..."
The two of them were standing on the hillside, where General Hussar's troops and horses were already in sight. Shen Yuanbai suddenly pulled out the dagger from Jin Zhi's waist and said in a cold voice:
"Jin Zhi, use this dagger to stab my shoulder, the deeper the better!"
Jin Zhi was shocked when he heard this!
"Your Highness, this...this is absolutely impossible!"
Shen Yuanbai looked calm and said calmly: "Jin Zhi, this is the only move left. There are so many corpses from the North in the field, and my identity is so sensitive, I must be the first one to be suspected!"
"I thought that today's plan would be successful. By then, the battlefield would be cleaned up, and everything would be foolproof. But now that there are so many clues, we can only show weakness."
"Come!"
Jin Zhi knew in his heart that Shen Yuanbai's words were reasonable, but when he took the dagger, the hand that had killed countless people couldn't help but start to tremble.
Your Highness... Your Highness is the King's only hope. If His Highness has any shortcomings, he will be blamed for his death!
"Do it!"
Shen Yuanbai frowned and urged, because of the sound of fighting on the slope, General Guo's men were coming this way!
"There is a difference between self-inflicted injuries and other-injured injuries. People who study martial arts and medicine can see this. We don't want to leave such obvious flaws."
"Jin Zhi, if you don't take action, people will come up soon and you won't be able to escape!"
Jin Zhi raised his eyes to look at Shen Yuanbai, who nodded firmly at him.
Jin Zhi didn't dare to hesitate anymore, gritted his teeth and stabbed Shen Yuanbai's shoulder hard until the dagger's hilt was gone!
Shen Yuanbai groaned, his face turned pale from the pain, and his forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat in the blink of an eye.
Jin Zhi suddenly let go of his hand and immediately knelt down to accuse: "Your Highness, I am guilty! I am guilty!"
Shen Yuanbai leaned over and tried to pull him, but the wound on his shoulder was involved. His vision suddenly went black, and he was almost unable to stand due to the pain.
"Quick... quick!" Shen Yuanbai said tremblingly.
Jin Zhi was about to stand up when he heard the sound, when suddenly a shout came from behind him: "Where did the thief hurt His Highness!"
When Shen Yuanbai heard this familiar voice, he trembled with shock!
He looked up in disbelief and saw a person flying down the slope. He was strong and powerful!
Although he couldn't see that face clearly in the dark night, Shen Yuanbai recognized the figure and the voice. This... this was clearly Qiao Diyi who he thought would definitely die!
At this moment, even a scheming person like Shen Yuanbai couldn't help but look horrified and backed away.
what happened?
What happened to the Qiao family? Why can't they be killed!
And looking at Qiao Diyi's current state, he doesn't seem to be poisoned at all!
Then Guiyue... I'm afraid Guiyue has also encountered something unexpected!
Qiao Diyi ran all the way to Jin Zhi, crying regret in his heart.
He had originally planned to take advantage of the opportunity to get rid of the second prince, but Jin Zhi never left him, and there were many people on the slope.
If he showed up rashly, once the second prince identified him, who knew whether Baili Chengyou's subordinates present would come out to identify him afterwards?
You know, Nanli Kingdom and their Yong Dynasty are also in an antagonistic relationship, so Baili Chengyou is afraid that he wishes that his Qiao family would die!
Now that the second prince and Jin Zhi are running downhill, there is a good chance. The worst is to kill them both!
But General Guo's troops heard the fighting on the slope and rushed over!
If he delays it any longer, he may even lose the chance to collect blood!
Thinking of this, Qiao Diyi made an immediate decision to collect blood first!
Jin Zhifang stood up from the shock. Qiao Diyi was already approaching. His moves were fierce and his inner strength was immeasurable!
What a great master!
Jin Zhi was shocked and responded in a hurry, not daring to be careless at all.
Shen Yuanbai knew what Qiao Diyi was capable of. Even if he couldn't figure it out in his heart, the most important thing at this time was to save Jin Zhi!
Thinking of this, Shen Yuanbai endured the pain and shouted loudly: "Qiao Erlang, don't let this thief go!"
Jin Zhi's heart trembled when he heard this.
Qiao Erlang?
This man turned out to be Qiao Zhongguo's second son, no wonder he was so reckless!
He could hear the meaning behind His Highness's words, which was to tell him to leave quickly!
However, he has not seen the third party coming with his own eyes. If Qiao Erlang takes the opportunity to kill His Highness and then puts the blame on their Northern Kingdom, everything will be over!
Chapter 258 Did Erlang do a disservice?

Shen Yuanbai was such a transparent person. He did not doubt Jin Zhi's loyalty to him, so he immediately guessed Jin Zhi's thoughts.
Jin Zhi has a great status in the Northern Kingdom. If he loses him, it will be very inconvenient to implement future plans!
Thinking of this, Shen Yuanbai gritted his teeth and walked down the slope, shouting: "Erlang, hold on, I will go find Mr. Qiao to help!"
Jin Zhi felt very relieved when he saw Shen Yuanbai leaving.
At this time, Guo Xiuyun's men had already appeared at the foot of the slope, and it was Lieutenant General Zuo who personally came to respond.
Jin Zhi felt at ease, knowing that in full view of the public, Erlang of the Qiao family no longer wanted to harm His Highness, so he threw a ball of white powder with his backhand.
Qiao Diyi wanted Jin Zhi to leave quickly. Seeing that he was about to escape, he immediately covered his mouth and nose and didn't even want to chase him!
Seeing that General Guo's men were about to arrive, Qiao Diyi immediately flew to Shen Yuanbai's side.
"Your Highness! Your shoulders!"
The dagger penetrated Shen Yuanbai's shoulder, and his back was now stained red with blood.
When Qiao Diyi saw this, he immediately frowned in distress.
He didn't feel sorry for Shen Yuanbai, but he felt sorry that the blood didn't flow into his bottle!
Shen Yuanbai was always on guard against Qiao Diyi. The two of them had already fallen into the sight of General Guo's army. He expected that Qiao Diyi would not dare to kill the prince!
Unless he is not afraid of having his entire family executed!
Seeing Shen Yuanbai's footsteps, Qiao Diyi thought that the Qiao family and the second prince were at odds anyway, so he simply reached out and took the second prince's arm, and said with a "concerned" look on his face:
"Your Highness, you have lost a lot of blood and can't leave anymore! General Guo's people are coming soon. Let them carry you down!"
Qiao Diyila used a lot of strength to do this. Shen Yuanbai gasped in pain, his whole vision went dark, and the blood on his shoulders started to flow out!
"you!"
Shen Yuanbai was in great pain, and even his breathing became rapid.
This stab penetrated directly through his shoulder, pressed against his lute bone, and almost sealed half of his body.
He doesn't blame Jin Zhi, because only in this way can he look realistic and win the trust of his father!
"Your Highness, hold on!"
When Qiao Diyi saw that Shen Yuanbai was already unsteady on his feet, he immediately shouted "horror".
He used his right hand to support Shen Yuanbai's back, and a bottle rolled down from his sleeve. He had opened his mouth early and was gently pressed against the wound.
Qiao Diyi glanced sideways calmly and saw the bright red blood flowing in along the wall of the bottle. As for how much, it was more than one drop anyway!
No matter how smart Shen Yuanbai was, he would never have guessed that what Qiao Diyi wanted for this trip was his blood!
At this time, the wound was in excruciating pain, and Shen Yuanbai felt cold all over, and couldn't help but watch anxiously as General Guo's men rushed towards him.
"Let... let go!"
Shen Yuanbai shouted angrily, and Qiao Diyi saw that it was almost done, and quickly let go of Shen Yuanbai's arm with a "panic" look on his face, and held the bottle firmly under his sleeve.
"Your Highness, have I... Erlang been a disservice?"
Qiao Diyi blinked his big "stupid" eyes and looked at Shen Yuanbai with a "bewildered" expression.
(⁎⚈︿⚈⁎)
Shen Yuanbai was so angry that he gritted his teeth!
He and the Qiao family already knew what each other was doing, but they just didn't pierce the window paper in person!
Qiao Diyi knew he couldn't kill him, so he came here deliberately to disgust him!
Qiao Diyi was also worried that the shrewd second prince would discover the flaw, so he did not dare to go too far and would stop immediately when he saw the opportunity.
He raised his hands and shouted at the approaching troops:
"Come quickly! His Highness is here! He is also seriously injured!"
If the second prince wants to pull off a cruel trick, then he will be able to prove his rescue skills!
His Qiao family did not ignore the second prince. On the contrary, he, Qiao Diyi, had to "go through all kinds of hardships" to rescue the seriously injured second prince from the clutches of the northern thieves!
Lieutenant General Zuo hurried slowly, and when he heard Qiao Diyi's call, his heart suddenly lifted.
When he saw the blood-stained skirt of the second prince's clothes and the dagger on his shoulder, the left deputy general turned pale with fear.
"Quick! Call the military doctor! There is also a spring stool! Bring it up quickly!"
Qiao Diyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that everyone carried away the second prince in a well-trained and proper manner.
When no one was around, he immediately melted the "immutable" talisman into the bottle, carefully sealed the opening, and kept it close to his body.
By the time he came down the slope, the battle was over, and General Guo and Baili Chengyou's men were clearing the battlefield.
Qiao Diyi couldn't find his father. After asking around, he found out that his father had escorted the second prince and Meng Guxue to another place to rest.
When he rode his horse to look for it, the left deputy general was reporting the battlefield situation to his father.
"Master Qiao, I have roughly figured it out. The bandits from the North are not very obvious. There are only about a dozen that can be seen at a glance. Those bandits have suffered heavy losses."
Qiao Zhongguo nodded and said in a deep voice: "Lieutenant General Zuo, please count carefully and compile them into a book so that I can report the truth to the Holy One."
The left deputy general responded hurriedly: "This is natural."
Qiao Zhongguo knew in his heart that the left deputy general in front of him was the loyal subordinate Xiao Hongda once said, so his attitude was very gentle.
"Lieutenant General Zuo, thank you for your timely assistance. I wonder how General Guo is doing lately?"
Upon hearing this, Lieutenant General Zuo immediately waved his hand, "I don't dare to thank Lord Qiao! I have long heard of Lord Qiao's reputation, and I am deeply honored to finally meet you today."
"General Guo is extremely brave. He is full of energy and radiant every day! By the way, here is a reply letter from General Guo to Lord Qiao."
Qiao Zhongguo took the letter, feeling excited but did not dare to show it. He just put the letter in his pocket carefully and then said seriously:
"Lieutenant General Zuo, the Bandits of Papi Ridge have done many evil things and committed countless murders. Why don't I go discuss it with the Third Prince and wipe out all these bandits today!"
The left deputy general's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.
"Master Qiao, it would be great if this could be done! The southern merchants have long hated the Papi Ridge Bandits, and General Guo is having a headache with this problem!"
When Qiao Zhongguo heard this, he knew what was going on and patted Lieutenant General Zuo on the shoulder, "Commander Zuo, wait a moment. I'll go talk to the third prince."
At this time, Qiao Zhongguo had already seen Qiao Diyi not far away. The father and son looked at each other from a distance, and Qiao Diyi showed an honest smile.
When Qiao Zhongguo saw this, his heart suddenly relaxed.
Good boy, I will praise you later!
Qiao Zhongguo turned around with a smile and went to a small temporary tent.
"Your Highness, I have something important to discuss. Can you come out and see me?"
Then a muffled sound came from the tent, and after a while, Baili Chengyou opened the curtain with a dark face and walked out.
Qiao Zhongguo took the opportunity to take a quick look and saw Meng Guxue sitting there with red eyes, rubbing his right wrist...

Qiao Zhongguo had some guesses about what happened in the account and couldn't help but frown.
Just now Baili Chengyou said he wanted to send Meng Guxue into the tent, but Meng Guxue didn't refuse, so he didn't say anything.
Now it seems that the two of them are not getting along very happily.
"Your Highness, although Princess Nanning is your royal concubine, she has not married you yet. The princess also represents the face of our Yong Dynasty. Please respect yourself."
Meng Guxue sat in the tent and clearly heard Qiao Zhongguo speaking for her. The tears that she could barely hold back rolled down in a flash.
This Baili Chengyou was so overbearing that she would probably have a hard time escaping from him in her life.
Baili Chengyou raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, "Self-respect? Mr. Qiao, what you said is a bit serious. This palace loves the future imperial concubine even if it's too late, so how can we offend her?"
"Not only that, after returning to Nanli Kingdom, we will give the princess the most grand engagement ceremony, and then tell the world that we will be with the princess for life."
Baili Chengyou raised his voice slightly, as if he was speaking specifically to the people in the tent.
One pair for life people?
Qiao Zhongguo was slightly surprised when he heard this.
"By the way, Master Qiao, what do you want to discuss with me?"
Baili Chengyou quickly returned to his usual cheerful appearance and asked with a smile.
In today's battle at Papi Ridge, although he failed to keep Shen Yuanbai and couldn't get rid of the Qiao family, it didn't matter.
The feud between Shen Yuanbai and the Qiao family was already going on, and there would definitely be chaos within the Yong Dynasty. He just needed to watch the show quietly.
Obviously, the Qiao family today is more than a little bit more powerful than the Qiao family in his dream!
What he cares more about now is Meng Guxue, who had the same dream as him!
The same experience made the two of them seem to live another life together without telling everyone.
He now wished he could take Meng Guxue back to the prince's residence immediately and exchange information with her!
Qiao Zhongguo was worried about Meng Guxue's future, but now was not the time to talk about it.
When Qiao Zhongguo mentioned the matter of suppressing bandits, Baili Chengyou agreed without hesitation.
"Master Qiao, don't mention it. This palace is also planning to do this. Let your deputy general Zuo and our palace's Atu lead the people to suppress it!"
Qiao Zhongguo immediately nodded and asked someone to bring a message to Lieutenant Zuo, while he and Baili Chengyou went to see the seriously injured second prince.
After entering the tent, the second prince was lying on the couch with a white complexion, his shoulders already wrapped in thick silk.
The military doctor was always standing by, carefully preparing the medicine.
When the second prince heard the footsteps, he slowly turned his head, his dark eyes fixed on Qiao Zhongguo.
He didn't seem to let go, and his eyes seemed to have passed over Qiao Zhongguo's heart.
Qiao Zhongguo pretended not to know, walked to the couch with "ashamed and worried" on his face, and knelt down on one knee.
"Your Highness, it was my fault in guarding you that caused you to suffer so much. I am guilty!"
The second prince moved his lips, and after a while he said in a hoarse voice: "The incident happened suddenly. I don't blame you, Mr. Qiao. Get up."
Qiao Zhongguo shook his head and said with great excitement: "No! Your Highness, I will write a letter to the Holy One to explain everything that happened today, and ask the Holy One to punish you, otherwise I will feel uneasy!"
"Your Highness, you must take care of yourself. That hateful thief, I wish he would have sores on his head, pus on his soles, and die a happy death!"
Baili Chengyou: Pfft——
Were all the people of the Yong Dynasty accustomed to curse people in person like this?
Tsk tsk, look at Shen Yuanbai's face, it's a bit paler again.
Qiao Zhongguo cursed a lot more until he saw that there was no trace of blood on the second prince's face, and he immediately stood up with satisfaction.
"Your Highness, I will not disturb your rest. I will take care of the rest, so Your Highness has nothing to worry about."
The military doctor on the side said: "..."
Let's go, let's go! Who is a good person who is so rude when visiting the injured...
Shen Yuanbai closed his eyes and nodded, as if he was already extremely weak.
However, the moment Qiao Zhongguo opened the curtain and walked out, he suddenly opened his eyes, and there was a murderous intention brewing inside that was so strong that he couldn't get rid of it!
After Qiao Zhongguo said goodbye to Baili Chengyou and entered his tent, Qiao Diyi had already been waiting here.
It was already daylight, and the father and son had not slept all night and had experienced a fierce battle, but they were in excellent spirits.
"father!"
Qiao Diyi immediately stepped forward to greet him.
Qiao Zhongguo reached out and patted Qiao Diyi on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Good boy, is it done?"
Qiao Diyi nodded, carefully took out the bottle from his arms, and said in a show-off manner:
"Dad, there's quite a lot!"
Qiao Zhongguo immediately laughed.
"Chengchengcheng! When I was almost hit by an arrow, I was afraid that you would lose your temper and run out. My dear boy, you have really grown up!"
When Qiao Zhongguo said this, his heart was filled with relief.
He has already said it before, the second child is a piece of rough jade, it will become very powerful in the future!
"You have made a great contribution, I will definitely praise you in front of Lao Da when I get back!"
Hearing this, Qiao Diyi scratched his head honestly, "Dad, my son doesn't dare to take the credit. The biggest contributor is probably still sleeping under the quilt at this moment!"
Qiao Zhongguo was slightly startled when he heard this, and then his heart felt warm.
Yes, the biggest contributor is his baby Jiaojiao!
Without Jiaojiao's Yifu Yiwan, the scene would have been passive, and whether he could have saved his life under that arrow was unknown.
With his thoughts at this point, Qiao Zhongguo once again felt like returning home, and he didn't know if his Jiaojiao was sleeping peacefully at this moment.
"Second brother, after the accident last night, there may be changes in this trip to Nanli."
"Furthermore, the Second Prince is seriously injured and it is not appropriate for him to suffer from traveling any longer. Perhaps we are not far away from returning to the capital..."
At this point, Qiao Zhongguo couldn't help but sigh:
"The second prince is a courageous man. I took a look at that wound before. It was deep and wide. If His Majesty saw it, he would probably be extremely distressed."
"Maybe a thousand days of harming people, so he had to guard against them for a thousand days. He endured the severe pain without daring to pass out. Thanks to you for taking the blood in advance, otherwise we really wouldn't have found a chance now!"
Qiao Zhongguo was pacing back and forth as he spoke.
He has to think carefully to see if there are any omissions!
At this moment, Qiao Liu and Qiao Eleven, who were guarding outside the tent, suddenly spoke:
"See Your Highness the Princess!"
Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Diyi looked at each other, opened the curtain and walked out, just in time to see Meng Guxue coming with Xiao Tao.
Qiao Zhongguo hurriedly saluted, and Meng Guxue immediately reached out to help him.
"Master Qiao doesn't have to be like this."
Qiao Zhongguo straightened up and saw Meng Guxue's pale face and said firmly:
"Master Qiao, can you come into the tent and talk for a while?"
Qiao Zhongguo nodded and asked Qiao Diyi to stay outside the tent while he invited Meng Guxue in.
As soon as Meng Guxue entered the tent, she turned around and said in a deep voice:
"Master Qiao, what happened yesterday and the second prince was seriously injured again, I'm afraid you may not be able to send me to Nanli in person."
"But it doesn't matter. The crisis on the road has been resolved. You have fulfilled your promise to me."
Having said this, Meng Guxue paused for a moment, then frowned and said:
"Master Qiao, I used to be selfish and didn't know how high the world was, but now I know how loyal you are and I would like to thank you for saving my life and Xiaotao's life in times of crisis."
"So I decided to tell you all the secrets I know today!"

Qiao Zhongguo couldn't help but look surprised when he heard this.
In fact, the Meng Guxue in front of him was completely different from what he had seen and known before.
Meng Guxue noticed Qiao Zhongguo's surprise and couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"Master Qiao, was I terrible before? In your eyes, am I just like a joke?"
"Yeah, at that time I... thought I was the most special one in the world, thought I--"
Meng Guxue was a little stunned. The memories of the past appeared like a revolving lantern, and then they were all suppressed.
"That's all, don't mention the past."
"Master Qiao, I only believe in you. If it were anyone else standing in front of me, I would never say this."
"What I'm going to say next is very strange. You can just listen to a book or a play, but please be sure to hear me out, okay?"
When Qiao Zhongguo heard this, he knew that Meng Guxue had made great determination, so he nodded solemnly.
"Princess, it's okay to say it. I'm all ears."
Meng Guxue took a deep breath and then slowly spoke:
"Master Qiao, the first secret I want to tell you is that the second prince's life experience may be in doubt!"
When Qiao Zhongguo heard this, his heart skipped a beat!
really!
He knew that the secret Meng Guxue was going to tell must contain the mystery of the second prince's life experience!
But from Meng Guxue's tone, it seemed that even she didn't know the exact answer.
"What!?"
Qiao Zhongguo looked extremely shocked at the right time.
Meng Guxue had already expected Qiao Zhongguo's reaction. She gave Qiao Zhongguo some time to react before speaking in a low voice:
"Master Qiao, the reason why I only say I have doubts is because this is just my guess without any evidence."
"Let's put it this way, just think that I am just dreaming. In that dream, the second prince has an elder who is like his teacher and father, named Di Zaiying!"
"That's right, it's the Northern spy Di Zaiying who has been executed!"
Qiao Zhongguo's heart skipped a beat and he nodded lightly without interrupting.
Seeing that Qiao Zhongguo did not raise any questions or laugh at her for going crazy, Meng Guxue felt relieved and continued:
"I thought it was strange that Di Zaiying treated the second prince with every possible care. Until one day by chance, I overheard Di Zaiying and Uncle Zhou having a secret conversation!"
"It was then that I realized that Di Zaiying was Princess Yuliu's old lover, and they had already been in love with each other when they were in the Northern Kingdom! It turned out that Di Zaiying was so considerate to the second prince, it was because he loved the house and the bird!"
"What I didn't expect was that next, Uncle Zhou suddenly mentioned something!"
"He asked Di Zaiying if he still remembered how he secretly sent him to the palace to have a private meeting with Yu Liu that year."
"At that time, Di Zaiying was stunned for a long time, and suddenly asked a question in a trembling voice, he said: Could it be... Could it be that Bai'er was... at that time..."
"I saw with my own eyes that Uncle Zhou nodded! Mr. Qiao, I think the meaning is not difficult to guess, right?"
When Qiao Zhongguo heard this, his face was horrified, but he was also filled with surprise.
It turns out that Uncle Zhou and his group were so bold that they secretly sent a foreign man into the harem, and even... they even had an affair with Princess Yuliu, who was already a concubine at the time!
Such an oversight really shouldn't happen in the heavily guarded inner courtyard of the palace!
I'm afraid that the Holy Emperor was very fond of Princess Yuliu at that time, so he was particularly forgiving to those around her, and that was how he caused such a disaster!
Meng Guxue looked at Qiao Zhongguo's expression, feeling extremely uneasy.
The dream theory sounded like nonsense to others. She was already prepared that Qiao Zhongguo would not believe her at all.
But even so, she still wants to say it!
Whether it's to repay Qiao Zhongguo for saving his life, or because he respects his character, I want to give the Qiao family a wake-up call!
"Master Qiao, this is the first secret I want to tell you."
Qiao Zhongguo frowned and did not look convinced.
After all, according to common sense, it is impossible for ordinary people to accept it so quickly, let alone doubt the life experience of a prince based on one word!
There was a "tangled" expression on his face, and he spoke after a long while:
"Princess, it's not that I want to doubt you, but this matter..."
"Anyway, thank you for informing me. I will return to Beijing to investigate this matter carefully!"
Hearing what Qiao Zhongguo said, Meng Guxue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, okay, she was still afraid that Qiao Zhong would treat her as a lunatic!
This gave her more courage to continue talking.
"Master Qiao, the second secret is a bit treacherous, so please don't take offense to it."
Qiao Zhongguo was filled with anticipation and nodded hurriedly.
Meng Guxue let out a long sigh, and then said solemnly: "The second secret concerns the prince!"
"Master Qiao, in my dream, the prince will die suddenly in two years!"
Qiao Zhongguo was shocked. Meng Guxue actually knew the inside story of the prince's sudden death!
Very good!
He looked "horrified", "This...how is this possible!"
"Princess, how could His Highness the Crown Prince die suddenly due to his strong body and young age? This, this, this... this minister absolutely cannot believe it!"
"Don't talk nonsense anymore. You are really exhausted. Go back and rest!"
Qiao Zhongguo felt that he almost had a split personality...
Meng Guxue looked solemn, but extremely persistent.
"Master Qiao, just think that I am talking nonsense, please listen to me!"
"The sudden death is actually just an excuse. The prince was actually killed by someone! And the murderer is—the current Holy Emperor!"
Qiao Zhongguo slowly opened his mouth. This time, the shock on his face was real and unfaltering!
Holy lord...
It turns out to be the Holy One!
They say that tiger poison cannot eat its seeds! How could His Majesty deal with such an outstanding son who is only one in a million?
Meng Guxue shook her head again, "No, if we really want to talk about it, there are actually two murderers!"
"One is the Holy One who makes the move, and the other is the Second Prince who plans the plan!"
Qiao Zhongguo's breathing was rapid and his mood was difficult to calm down.
Meng Guxue has already spoken:
"One day two years later, a painting leaked from the East Palace. The portrait showed a lifelike Princess Yuliu, but...the clothes were not very appropriate."
"This painting fell into the hands of the Holy One by 'very coincidental'. The Holy One was so angry after seeing the painting that he ordered Huang Pei to secretly search the East Palace!"
"This search actually allowed Huang Pei to find dozens of portraits of Princess Yuliu from the East Palace, and the paintings were unsightly, and there were... traces of filth on them!"
"The Holy Emperor was furious, but he did not lose his mind completely. Instead, he secretly summoned the prince to meet him."
"At this time, the prince, under the design of the second prince, has just learned a shocking secret. He is feeling agitated and heartbroken!"
"Master Qiao, in my dream, the fourth prince died on his fifth birthday and drowned in Yuhua Lake in Spring Garden."
"After a thorough investigation at that time, the Holy Spirit came to the conclusion that the fourth prince was playful and accidentally fell into the water.
"The prince and the queen were devastated. They blame themselves and find it difficult to accept this sad news."
"And the second prince set up a trap to let the prince know the real cause of death of the fourth prince on the day the Holy Emperor summoned him!"
