Chapter 451 Let's go!

The red candles were lit and the whole hall was filled with joy.

This was an extremely hasty wedding, and Mrs. Qiao and Hanya Xian carefully decorated the wedding hall in a very short period of time.

There was no room full of distinguished guests, no phoenix crowns and harems, but all the relatives and loved ones were by my side.

Qiao Diyi and Xiao Qianyue were dressed in red and walked into the hall holding red silk. They were already sitting in the hall on both sides, with smiling faces and loving eyes.

As the newlyweds crossed the threshold, Qiao Diyi was filled with excitement and whispered warmly: "Yue'er, I have wronged you tonight. When the epidemic is over and the north is settled, we will have a grand wedding."

Xiao Qianyue shook her head. At this time, the blush on her cheeks finally took on the shyness and tenderness of her daughter's family.

"I don't care about this-"

"I care."

Qiao Diyi took over the words in a low voice but firmly.

"Yue'er, you deserve the best."

The two of them entered the hall, and Qiao Tianjing was the one who praised and cheered. Then he raised his voice, and a report came from outside the hall:

"Master, Madam, the Holy Emperor and the Queen are here in person!"

Everyone stood up suddenly, Xiao Qianyue turned around suddenly and saw her sister with tears in her eyes, walking towards her step by step in the candlelight that filled the hall.

The corners of Xiao Qianyue's mouth tightened, and she suddenly burst into tears.

Her sister is the most perfect noble girl from Beijing and the most noble mother of a country. No matter when and where she is, her manners are always impeccable.

But at this moment, her sister's steps were swaying, her skirt was blooming, and she was rushing toward her so eagerly that her dignity was completely disrupted.

"elder sister!"

Xiao Qianyue trembled and her tears rolled down instantly.

Xiao Qianlan walked into the hall, held Xiao Qianyue's arms tightly, looked around, then gently stroked Xiao Qianyue's cheek, and said warmly with tears in her eyes:

"Sister knows, sister knows that Yue'er is a deviant and will definitely do something shocking tonight."

"Sister, I'm sorry, Yue'er is very willful..."

Xiao Qianyue lost the confidence she had just now. Her sister was the person in the world who could best control her.

Xiao Qianlan shook her head. She smoothed the naughty little hair beside Xiao Qianyue's cheeks and said proudly:

"Sister Yue'er has great ambitions and is the most sassy girl in the world. No matter what Yue'er does, sister will support you."

"Sister just didn't want to miss such a precious moment in Yue'er's life, so she came in a hurry."

Sisters are connected, how could Xiao Qianlan not understand her sister?

She was restless and distracted in the palace. It was Shen Lang who broke the rules for her and took her out of the palace late at night.

At this time, Shen Yuanzhan also entered the hall. Qiao Zhongguo and others hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but he smiled and waved his hand. When the red light swept across the hall, there was a hint of emotion in his eyes.

"Come on, let's go on. Sister, come and watch the ceremony."

Xiao Qianlan smiled and let go of Xiao Qianyue and retreated to Shen Yuanzhan.

Shen Yuanzhan saw the tears on Xiao Qianlan's face and frowned slightly. It wasn't until everyone's eyes returned to the newlyweds that he held Xiao Qianlan's hand through his wide sleeves.

Xiao Qianlan was slightly startled, looked around, and wanted to take back her hand in a panic, but she didn't expect that Shen Yuanzhan held it very tightly.

She was a little nervous and turned to look at Shen Yuanzhan, but she saw his gentle eyebrows and nodded to her in relief.

Xiao Qianlan's face felt hot, and her heart suddenly felt warm. She hesitated for a while, stretched her fingers slightly, and then gently closed them.

Shen Yuanzhan noticed this subtle movement, with a hidden smile in his eyes, and held the soft grass in his hand tighter.

"Worship heaven and earth!"

"Two thanks to Gaotang!"

"Couple greetings!"

Qiao Diyi and Xiao Qianyue moved in a green and somewhat panicked manner. When the couple was bowing to each other, their foreheads actually touched, and they made a loud sound. The pain made them both grimace at the same time.

When everyone saw this scene, they couldn't help but laugh out loud. At this moment, the worries hidden in the original joy were finally completely dissipated.

Qiao Diyi and Xiao Qianyue stood in the hall looking embarrassed, both raising their hands to rub their foreheads.

Seeing this, everyone laughed more and more unbridled, holding their stomachs with laughter and screaming ouch.

Jiaojiao laughed to tears and rolled into Hanyaxian's arms. The two of them pointed at Xiao Qianyue and laughed together.

Years go by, full of joy.

Although there are still countless difficulties and obstacles ahead, one day thousands of boats will pass by, and everything will be smooth sailing from now on.

The reunion and beauty at this moment, no matter when we think back on it, will become the motivation and support to move forward fearlessly, and become the dawn and hope to defeat destiny.

Qiao Diyi and Xiao Qianyue never consummated their marriage.

Not only because both of them were blind in that regard, but the timing tonight was not right either.

After the ceremony, Xiao Qianyue even followed Xiao Hongda and his wife very naturally and returned home honestly.

Jiaojiao followed him to the door and scratched his head when he saw it.

Well, that makes sense.

————

Early the next morning, the news spread that Qiao Diyi and Xiao Qianyue got married last night, and the reason was very frank, just to allow Xiao Qianyue to go north together openly.

At noon, the team gathered at the north gate.

At a glance, Jiaojiao saw a group of doctors headed by Dr. Zou. They were dressed simply and were saying goodbye to each other's families.

Jiaojiao secretly prayed for everyone in her heart, hoping that her "invulnerability to all diseases" would come in handy to protect these righteous doctors.

Xiaosi also came to see them off. He stood beside Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Diyi, his expression so solemn that he didn't look like a child at all.

Qiao Zhongguo knew Xiaosi well. He raised his hand and patted Xiaosi's head, and said seriously:

"Xiaosi, some things cannot be rushed. Every foundation you have laid solidly now is for the future."

Xiao Si frowned when he heard this. He had been really upset recently.

Master and Brother Qiao are preparing intensively for the northward journey. Brother Qiao and Mr. Tan are advising their brother. The doctors at the Imperial Hospital are taking the lead. Only he...

The words "still young" made him just a bystander.

How he wished he could have been born a few years earlier, so that he could travel north with his master.

It was precisely because Qiao Zhongguo understood Xiaosi's thoughts that he said what he just said.

Sometimes it is a burden to know things too early, because the young body cannot match and execute the worries and ambitions in the heart, which often leads to feelings of frustration and powerlessness.

But Xiao Si is a very precocious child.

"Xiaosi, calm down and study hard with your Mr. Tan in Beijing."

"The Northern Expedition has a long way to go. In the future, this battlefield will eventually be your young people's world."

Qiao Zhongguo rubbed Xiaosi's head, his eyes full of love.

Xiaosi was originally restless, but when he met Qiao Zhongguo's calm and determined eyes, the restlessness in his chest suddenly stagnated, and then slowly dissipated.

"Master, Xiaosi is in trouble. Xiaosi will stay in the capital with peace of mind, waiting for Master to make a triumphant return!"

Xiao Si looked ashamed and solemnly bowed to Qiao Zhongguo as master and apprentice.

When Qiao Zhongguo saw this, the corner of his mouth raised slightly, this kid——

"Set off!"

Qiao Zhongguo turned his head and raised his voice solemnly.

Everyone looked solemn, packed their bags and quickly returned to the team!

Jiaojiao was held in Qiao Tianjing's arms and stood with the people seeing her off.

In their eyes, the heroes heading north got on their horses and horses, with firm faces, and set off with the hope of the people of Wuding.

Those left behind are equally brave.

They watched their fathers, husbands, sons, and daughters run towards the unknown, put aside all their worries and fears, raised their smiles, and waved goodbye.

Here we go, looking forward to returning, we will definitely return!

Chapter 452 Difficult Decision

As Tan Hanchi's "Northern Expedition Zhuan Zhao Tianwen" spread throughout the Yong Dynasty, the power of words began to appear.

Qiao Zhongguo led the team to the north. Wherever they passed, officials and people were guarding the roadside, donating food, medicine or money. There were even children and old people walking along the road to see each other off.

Qiao Zhongguo couldn't bear to offend everyone's good intentions at first, but as more and more people followed suit, he could only send someone to summon him in advance every time he passed a state, and he refused to accept any funding.

There was nothing we could do. We were going at a fast pace on this journey, and we had to bring a certain amount of medicinal materials and food. If we brought too many, it would affect the speed of our northward journey.

If everyone has such good intentions, after he sees the situation in Wuding, he will send a letter for help if necessary.

Another strange thing happened to Dr. Zou.

Before setting off, there were originally thirty-two doctors headed by Dr. Zou, but halfway through, a doctor always came forward and recommended himself. He had already packed his bags and stood guard by the roadside, saying that he would follow him to the north.

Zou Tai's Medical Committee did not expect this scene. He opened his mouth to persuade and persuade. In the end, within ten days, the number of people under his command increased to fifty-three!

As for doctors, Qiao Zhongguo left it to Imperial Physician Zou to make the decision. After all, bringing in more people would have little impact.

During this trip to the north, Qiao Jiajun, who had removed his armor for a long time, was considered to be "returning to his old business."

Qiao Zhongguo had already ordered Qiao Diyi and Xiao Qianyue to lead a thousand men and horses first and rush to the north to find out the truth. Qiao Bo and the others were experienced and could help from the side.

Qiao Diyi and Xiao Qianyue traveled day and night, and finally arrived at Beiding City half a month after their departure!

There were two major passes in the northern border of Yong Dynasty, one was Wuding, the national gate, and the other was Tieguan Beidian.

There used to be a joke in the North: Wu Ding can be broken, but Beiding will not fall.

Because there is a plain behind Beiding, once it is breached, the thieves from the North can march straight in, with disastrous consequences.

Zhu Leili, the governor of the northern border, had been waiting in Beiding City for a long time after receiving the order from the capital.

When Qiao Diyi and others arrived after a long journey, Governor Zhu came to greet him personally. Without waiting for Qiao Diyi to ask, he eagerly talked about Wuding's predicament.

There is a long Wuding Road between Wuding and Beiding, which is usually the only way to travel between the two cities.

More than a month ago, when General Ren sensed the signs of the epidemic, he made a prompt decision and the garrison on Mingchang Road blocked the road.

When Zhu Leili heard the name of "typhoid fever", he immediately felt like he was facing a formidable enemy. While he sent a letter to General Ren to inquire about the situation in Wuding, he also asked the defenders of Beiding City to block the rest of the paths between the two cities.

It's not that he doesn't want to leave a way for the people of Wuding City to survive, but after Beiding is the northern border and even the entire Yong Dynasty. Once the epidemic spreads, it will be a disaster for everyone!

Zhu Leili had to deal with it carefully. Even if it was a letter sent back from General Ren, he would only dare to read it after he ordered someone to carefully roast it to dissipate the energy.

The situation in Wuding is not optimistic. General Ren said in the letter that the plague spread very quickly, and almost the entire Wuding, including the military camp, fell.

The doctors and military doctors in the city were helpless. Hundreds of people died every day. Everywhere they looked, the city was covered in plains and mourning.

And because the road to Wuding is cut off, the city is now in urgent need of medicinal materials and food, and people are panicking to the point of collapse.

After Zhu Leili got the message, in addition to sending the message to the capital, he also searched for doctors in the north, and then used the government's efforts to raise medicinal materials and food to send outside Wuding City.

Although Qiao Diyi had already anticipated the tragedy in Wuding, he still couldn't help but feel heartbroken when he heard that "hundreds of people died every day."

Zhu Leili also frowned. He was so worried that he could hardly sleep at night.

"General Zhonglang, the food, grass and medicinal materials can still support us now. It is not difficult to transfer them from other places. This... what I am worried about is that there is no cure for the epidemic!"

"There are thousands of people in the city, the old, young, women and children are the most innocent and helpless. There are also the 200,000 troops. They left their homes and guarded the border day and night, and never enjoyed a day's blessings."

"I... As long as I think of them dying here as guests, and the long-awaited wishes of their relatives at home being in vain, as the governor of the north, I feel really ashamed, and I only wish I could take their place in their place!"

When Zhu Taishou finished speaking, he bent his back and burst into tears in front of Qiao Diyi.

Qiao Diyi felt a sore throat when he saw this, and the seven-foot-tall man's eyes also turned red.

He held Prefect Zhu's arms and said in a deep voice:

"Master Zhu, my father has led a group of doctors to rush here to help. They will reach Beiding in as soon as five days or as late as seven days."

"Mr. Zou is known as a miracle doctor. He will definitely do his best to find a cure and cure this epidemic."

Governor Zhu knew very well that there had never been a cure for typhoid epidemics in history, and every time he had to survive the disaster only after suffering numerous casualties, Qiao Diyi was probably just trying to comfort him.

But in a desperate situation, he could only place his hope on that Divine Doctor Zou.

Thinking of this, Governor Zhu held Qiao Diyi's arm tightly and nodded with tears in his eyes.

Qiao Diyi came galloping all the way and had already sorted out his thoughts. At this time, he asked some details about Wuding City.

When he heard that the Wuding city gate was tightly closed and no one in the city had escaped for more than a month, Qiao Diyi's mind was filled with thoughts and his expression slowly calmed down.

"Master Zhu, we are going to Wuding City for a visit."

Zhu Taishou was shocked when he heard this, "General Zhonglang, this can't be done. The disease is extremely severe. Once it comes into contact with people from Wu Ding, it will be inevitable! Let's wait until Lord Qiao and Doctor Zou arrive at Beiding before we make a decision!"

Qiao Diyi shook his head, "Master Zhu, this is not just a matter of whim. This epidemic came unexpectedly. My father sent me to take the first step because I want him to find out the source of the epidemic as soon as possible."

When Zhu Taishou heard that this was what Qiao Zhongguo meant, he immediately stopped talking.

When Qiao Zhongguo was ordered to seal the town of Beida General in the face of danger, he was only the city supervisor of Beiding City.

At that time, Beiding City was about to be destroyed. He and the city guards covered the remaining people's retreat and were imprisoned. Unable to escape, he decided to hang himself on the city gate and live or die with Beiding.

At that time, the rope was around his neck, and suddenly the horn sounded. He looked up and saw General Qiao leading an elite cavalry and charging behind him, smashing the formation of the Northern Thieves into pieces, like the God of War. Heaven descends.

To the people in the north, General Qiao was indeed a god.

When he heard a few days ago that it was General Qiao who was reinforcing the northern border this time, he really breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart.

Now that it was General Qiao's order, he wanted to have a profound meaning, so he would not interfere with General Zhonglang's actions, but he had to remind him of some words.

"General Zhonglang, this epidemic started in Wuding City. General Ren also thought about thoroughly investigating the source. However, the city was in chaos and everyone had no time to take care of themselves. Even military doctors and doctors fell down one after another. The source of the epidemic is still unknown."

"If you don't enter the city, I'm afraid it will be difficult to trace the source. But if you enter the city, you may... never return."

Qiao Diyi had made up his mind and nodded without hesitation after hearing this.

"Master Zhu, please take care of the rest of us. They will stay in Beiding to wait for my father. I will just take my family guard with me."

Qiao Diyi saluted Governor Zhu, then turned around and mounted his horse.

Xiao Qianyue and Qiao Bo followed closely behind, and the group turned their horses and galloped towards Wuding City!

Chapter 453 It's not a divine punishment

Wuding Changdao, where people used to come and go, is now in a state of depression.

Passing by the gate, Qiao Diyi showed his waist badge.

When the garrison heard that Qiao Diyi was going to Wuding City, their expressions changed slightly.

"General Zhonglang, the city of Wuding has been sealed off. Now, except for transporting grain, grass and medicinal materials, the rest is inaccessible. You are here to go..."

Qiao Diyi nodded on his horse and said in a deep voice: "If we return, it will be when the epidemic is eliminated."

Upon hearing this, the garrison opened his mouth slightly, looked solemn for a moment, and bowed to Qiao Diyi.

"Congratulations to General Zhonglang!"

As soon as the gate opened, Qiao Diyi and Xiao Qianyue galloped out side by side, with Qiao Bo following closely.

The road ahead is long, and the already lonely wilderness is now desolate. The wind blows from the north, blowing on the face like a knife.

Xiao Qianyue was wearing a mink hat, with half of her face covered in a thick wind collar, but she still felt the cold wind penetrating all around and pricking her neck.

She said nothing, her eyebrows were stern, and she had already prepared for the worst before setting off.

But now, looking at the gray sky and the vague outline of Wuding City in the distance, Xiao Qianyue felt extremely heavy.

She always cared about what Zhu Taishou said just now: "For more than a month, no one has escaped."

Human instinct is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Staying in Wuding City is a dead end, but even so, no one in the city escaped.

Her father once told her that people living in the border areas have long been aware of the situation.

She didn't understand it at the time, but now she could vaguely see the heaviness and righteousness in this sentence.

Wuding City was already in sight, and Qiao Diyi reined in the reins. He looked up, the flags were flying in the wind, and there was still a figure standing guard at the top of the city.

Upon seeing this, Qiao Diyi raised his voice: "Qiao Diyi, the commander of the Jinwu Guard, is here with the order. Please open the city gate!"

The figure on the city gate moved, and then four or five people poked their heads out.

"Qiao Diyi? Is this Erlang of the Qiao family?"

One person raised his voice first to answer, but his voice was hoarse and almost blown away by the wind.

Qiao Diyi heard it clearly and nodded quickly: "Exactly!"

The man quickly stretched out his upper body and shouted with all his strength:

"Master Qiao, my subordinate is General Ren to guard Ren Shiliu. The general ordered his subordinates to guard here and be sure to stop them!"

Qiao Diyi frowned slightly when he heard this, but Ren Shiliu continued to shout:

"It was tragic in the city, no one was spared, most of the people were killed or injured, and all the soldiers fell. The general said that unless a good cure for the epidemic can be obtained, all reinforcements will only increase casualties!"

Qiao Diyi was shocked when he heard this and asked hurriedly: "How is General Ren?"

Ren Shiliu clasped the city wall with his rough hands and choked up after hearing the words.

"The general has been overworked and has also contracted an epidemic. He is still sitting in the city at this time. Knowing that Lord Qiao will lead his troops, he specially ordered his subordinates to stay here."

"The general said that Mr. Qiao is the pearl of the Yong Dynasty. There must be no loss. Mr. Qiao must not be allowed to put himself in danger!"

"All the people and soldiers of Wuding have realized their fate. If you die, you will die as a city and we will protect the thousands of compatriots behind you. If this epidemic is a punishment from heaven, it will stop at Wuding and we will bear it alone!"

Ren Shiliu screamed, and the strong wind rushed into his throat. He couldn't help but cover his mouth, leaned over and coughed violently.

There was a hint of moisture in the cold palms. When he moved away, he saw blood red.

Ren Shiliu had already glimpsed his destination. He raised the corners of his lips. There was bitterness in his smile, but there was no resentment.

Under the city gate, Qiao Diyi and Xiao Qianyue were shocked and speechless for a long time when they heard these tragic words.

This is the awareness of the people at the border, and it is also the reason why no one has fled out of the epidemic for more than a month.

They have been taught by their parents and generations since birth. They were born in the country and grew up in the country. They should stay vigilant when there is no war and stand up during the war.

If one day life and death are at stake, I would rather die at the gate of the country than take a step back.

Xiao Qianyue was still young at that time. She raised her head and asked innocently: "Dad, the border is so dangerous, why don't they leave? Our Yong Dynasty is so big, they can settle down anywhere."

Xiao Hongda rubbed Xiao Qianyue's head lovingly and said with emotion:

"Yue'er, it's called territory when there are people who hold on to it. That's the border of our Yong Dynasty. They took root there and defended the territory and resisted foreign enemies."

"This prosperous age did not fall from the sky, but was lifted up bit by bit by a group of fearless people who sacrificed their lives for righteousness and used their mortal bodies..."

At this point in her thoughts, Xiao Qianyue's eyes suddenly turned red.

She only really understood what her father said today.

"Master Qiao, come back!"

Ren Shiliu looked over and saw that Qiao Diyi and Xiao Qianyue were still moving, so he hurriedly raised his voice to urge.

The disease is so severe that it is dangerous to stay outside the city for a long time.

Qiao Diyi slowly took a breath, raised his head, with firm eyes, and spoke loudly:

"Mr. Ren! It's not a punishment from heaven!"

Ren Shiliu was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to realize that Qiao Diyi was responding to what he just said.

Qiao Diyi tightened his grip on the reins, his fingertips turning white, and said in a stern voice:

"With a wise king, good ministers and good ministers, the people are doing great good, and they are stable and happy. How can there be such a punishment from heaven!"

"If there is a punishment from heaven, it is unclear! It is because it is blind!"

The rich voice reached the city wall, and Ren Shiliu and the taxi soldiers guarding the city widened their eyes.

Qiao Diyi straightened his back and sent his voice far away.

"Mr. Ren, don't believe in fate, don't believe in any bullshit God's will!"

"Thousands of compatriots in the Yong Dynasty don't want to see you die like this! We are working hard and rushing to help, and please don't give up your struggle, and don't accept your own death!"

"My father has already led a group of doctors towards this side. The moment we set off, we put life and death aside! But we are not running for death, but we firmly believe that man will conquer heaven! Man will conquer heaven!"

Qiao Diyi's eyes were filled with tears. He knew that General Ren did not want them to put themselves in danger.

The people and soldiers of Wuding must have experienced countless struggles and knew that there was no hope of survival, so they attributed it all to God's will.

They are not escaping. On the contrary, they are so selfless and fearless that they are willing to die to stop this epidemic in Wuding.

Qiao Diyi knew that his few words now could not sway General Ren's decision. Perhaps he could only knock on this heavy city gate when his father arrived with the doctor.

But he won't sit still and wait for death!

Bullshit God's will!

The epidemic in Minzhou that my little sister predicted did not come true, and now it has come to harm Wuding again. God is unkind, I don't believe it!

"Mr. Ren, please tell General Ren that the doctor will be here soon! This epidemic may be a man-made disaster caused by the Northern Bandits. I will find the source of the epidemic!"

"Please hold on. When the epidemic is over, we will draw our swords and raise our swords to kill all the northern thieves, and usher in a peaceful and prosperous era together!"

After finishing speaking, Qiao Diyi got off his horse and bowed to everyone on the city wall.

Ren Shiliu and the others leaned over the wall and saw the tall and firm figure. At this moment, they were really excited by Qiao Diyi's words!

If possible, who would be willing to die helplessly from an epidemic?

They are all tough and good men. If they die, they would rather die by the sword or fight on the battlefield!

"Take care, everyone!"

Qiao Diyi mounted his horse again.

He took a deep look at the towering Wuding city wall, and at Ren Shiliu who greeted him back on the city wall, nodded slightly, and then headed straight for the Wuding River with a clear goal!

Chapter 454 The boy's awakening

The source of the epidemic is unknown, and this epidemic may never end.

Therefore, when Qiao Diyi led the team ahead, Qiao Zhongguo issued a death order as commander-in-chief—the source of the epidemic must be eliminated!

Before the northbound team set off, the "think tank" in Beijing and Dr. Zou had already discussed the source of the epidemic.

If this epidemic is a natural disaster, then the problem may lie in the livestock in the city or the war horse camp.

If it were man-made, he would not be able to escape the evil intentions of the Northern Thief!

The two countries are facing each other across the river and are on guard against each other. If the northern thieves succeed now, either there is a traitor in the city, or... they are simply doing it outside the city!

The drinking water of Wuding people and military camps is closely related to Wuding River. If the problem lies in Wuding River, everything makes sense!

At this time, Qiao Diyi and his party were heading westward along the Wuding River, upstream.

The wind was strong, and the cold air blew into the bones. Even Qiao Diyi and Qiao Bo were so cold that they bared their teeth.

Qiao Diyi turned his head to look aside from time to time, but Xiao Qianyue always followed closely without complaining.

Qiao Bo rode behind him, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but secretly praise: The second young lady is indeed the daughter of a general!

It gets dark early in the north. Seeing the surroundings getting darker, Qiao Diyi stopped.

His sharp eyes looked out along the Wuding River, and then he turned to gesture to Xiao Qianyue and Qiao Bo.

You can't run anymore, otherwise if you slip up late at night, the consequences will be disastrous.

Seeing that Qiao Diyi was so calm, Uncle Qiao felt at ease.

He had followed the general in the Northern Territory and fought hard for several years. The nights were deep and cold, and there were countless unknowns lurking in the Northern Territory at night.

The second young master had never been to the northern border, and he was just worried that the young master would become anxious after hearing about the tragic situation in Wuding and act on his own initiative.

Now that he saw that the second young master was advancing and retreating in a controlled manner and had a plan for success, he was completely relieved.

"Yue'er, Uncle Qiao, you won't be able to see the road any later. Let's find a place to repair for the night. Let's set off again at dawn tomorrow."

Qiao Diyi spoke in a deep voice, then turned his horse's head to look for a suitable foothold.

Qiao Bo was more experienced in this area and quickly found a small col with leeward direction.

Qiao Diyi got off his horse and hurried to Xiao Qianyue's side.

"Yue'er, can you still move?"

Xiao Qianyue nodded. She supported the horse's back and turned over. The moment she stepped on the ground, she immediately fell onto Qiao Diyi.

Her legs and feet had long been numb from the cold as they were traveling so fast in the wind, and now she was completely unconscious and unable to stand.

Qiao Bo was lighting a fire aside. When he saw this, he hurriedly said: "Master, bring the young lady over to warm up the fire. It's freezing, so we need to rejuvenate the blood as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Diyi immediately picked up Xiao Qianyue, walked to the fire in a few steps, held her in his arms and sat down.

Uncle Qiao looked at the fire without raising his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Young madam, please don't be formal and ask the young master to massage your legs."

"This is no joke. When I was fighting in the north with the general, an old brother was so cold that he cut off one of his hands to save his life."

Xiao Qianyue was originally a little embarrassed, but now that she heard that her hands and feet were going to be cut off, why should she be so rigid? She hurriedly took Qiao Diyi's hand and pressed it on her leg.

"Quick, quick, quick, help me press it, I can't lose this leg!"

Qiao Diyi did not dare to be careless and quickly asked Xiao Qianyue to sit firmly while he put his hand on Xiao Qianyue's legs.

The large cloak held the two bodies together, and soon the heat rose and the chill gradually subsided. Xiao Qianyue moved her little feet and finally felt that she was alive.

Qiao Diyi never stopped moving. There was no charm in his heart, only heartache and pity.

Xiao Qianyue's face felt a little hot at this moment, and her legs seemed to have become sensitive after regaining consciousness. They were rubbed with moderate force by Qiao Diyi's broad and thick palms, which made her feel itchy.

Qiao Bo was right opposite, and Xiao Qianyue was too embarrassed to complain about itching, so she quickly opened her mouth to divert her attention.

"Erlang, Uncle Qiao, if the source of the epidemic is really in the upper reaches of the Wuding River, will the Northern Thieves send someone to guard it?"

Qiao Diyi paused for a moment, then nodded with a solemn expression, "We have to be more careful tomorrow. If we find any clues, we may have to abandon our horses and walk."

"If possible... I must capture one or two alive and ask them clearly!"

Xiao Qianyue nodded repeatedly when she heard this, and at this time, Qiao Bo reached out and handed over the dry food.

"It's bitterly cold here. I feel so wronged, young lady."

Xiao Qianyue raised her hand to take the rations and said with a smile: "Hey, Uncle Qiao, what are you saying about grievances? I just hope I didn't hold you back. I didn't know before I came here that it's really cold in the north!"

Xiao Qianyue raised her feet to stand up, but Qiao Diyi held her down.

"No need to go, just sit, it's too cold outside."

Qiao Diyi said, taking another piece of cake and taking a big bite.

Xiao Qianyue turned her head and glanced at him, vaguely noticing his ears that were glowing red from the fire. She lowered her head and thought for a while, then sat still and ate a big mouthful of dry food.

Qiao Bo quickly lowered his head and pretended not to hear.

The conditions here are really difficult. After the three of them dealt with each other casually, they talked a few words about Wuding City and then closed their eyes to recuperate.

It was agreed that Qiao Bo would stay for half the night and Qiao Diyi would stay for the second half of the night.

Qiao Diyi leaned against the big stone behind him and held Xiao Qianyue tightly in his arms.

"Yue'er, take a nap."

Xiao Qianyue was really exhausted, and she also knew that she could only keep up with them tomorrow if she kept her spirits up.

"good."

She nodded simply and leaned into Qiao Diyi's arms, but she leaned for a while and fell asleep quickly.

Probably out of instinct, she curled up into a ball and squeezed into Qiao Diyi again and again, as if she couldn't wait to get into him.

Qiao Diyi sat silently for a while, and couldn't help but feel a little strange. It was also instinct.

He was a little embarrassed, raised his head in embarrassment, and met Qiao Bo's teasing gaze.

Qiao Diyi felt that his body was getting hotter. Qiao Bo smiled and suddenly said in a low voice: "Master, the young lady is amazing. Back then, when we were all still young and stupid, we were complaining when we followed the general to the north. Not good enough."

"The young lady may have felt very uncomfortable during this journey, but my subordinates never heard her complain."

When Qiao Diyi heard this, his heart softened suddenly, and he couldn't help but hug the person in his arms tighter.

Xiao Qianyue felt the warmth approaching and dug deeper into it.

Qiao Diyi froze suddenly, took a deep breath, and said to Qiao Bo:

"Uncle Qiao, please change it. I'll stay up until midnight. I can't sleep."

The voice was slightly hoarse, losing some of its youthful tone.

Qiao Bo smiled lowly, with a profound look that said, "I understand everyone who has been here." He nodded towards Qiao Diyi.

"Okay, I will listen to you, Master."

Qiao Bo leaned against the stone wall with his clothes on, and soon his breathing became even.

I was really tired from running all this way.

Qiao Diyi slowly adjusted his breathing. After a while, the restlessness in his body gradually disappeared. He looked up at the darkness in the distance, his brows gradually becoming colder.

The young man from Kyoto was high-spirited and ambitious, but after seeing Wu Ding's passion and righteousness, he couldn't help but feel ashamed.

At this moment, in the cold dark night in the north, the young man lost his impetuousness and grew up quietly.

Chapter 455 The dark moon and high wind kill the night

On the second day, the sky was bright and Xiao Qianyue woke up.

She did not sleep peacefully. She dreamed about Mr. Ren on the city wall, about the Governor Zhu she met during the day, about her parents and her sister in the distance.

When Huo Ran opened her eyes, she was stunned for a moment by the desolation she saw.

But soon, she felt even breathing spraying on her forehead. When she raised her eyes slightly, she saw Qiao Diyi's handsome face.

After her thoughts returned, Xiao Qianyue realized that she was now in the wilderness of the north.

She turned her head, and Qiao Bo sat opposite her with a calm expression, smiling gently at her.

Xiao Qianyue's heart suddenly warmed up, and she was worried about disturbing Qiao Diyi's rest, so she stayed still.

Qiao Diyi didn't sleep for long. He woke up when his hair touched his chin.

Seeing Qiao Diyi's movement, Xiao Qianyue stood up in a hurry.

After a night's rest, everyone's condition improved a lot. Qiao Diyi stretched his numb hands and feet and quickly stood up full of energy.

The three of them remounted their horses and set off again facing the north wind!

An hour later, a bare birch forest came into view, and the Wuding River meandered out of this birch forest.

The three of them reined in their horses in a tacit understanding, looked at each other, and slowed down.

At the entrance of the birch forest, the three of them dismounted and walked.

Qiao Bo walked at the front, leading Qiao Diyi and Xiao Qianyue through the birch forest in the direction of Wuding River.

This time, within a quarter of an hour after entering the forest, they heard vague voices!

Qiao Bo immediately turned his head and made a silent movement, and the three of them walked almost close to the ground using the cover of tree trunks and bushes.

Soon, the human voice gradually became clearer, and it seemed to be coming from across the river.

Qiao Bo stopped and found a dense bush to lie down on. Qiao Diyi and Xiao Qianyue quickly followed suit.

At this time, the voice on the other side suddenly became louder.

"So what!"

The owner of the voice sounded young, probably a young man.

"Major General, speak softer." Someone on the side quickly advised.

Major General?

This title was so special, Qiao Diyi's eyes flashed slightly, and the identity of the person opposite was already revealed!

Across the river from Wuding City is Beiguo Jiaocheng, which is also the gate of Beiguo.

The general in charge of Jiaocheng is Qiao Zhongguo's old rival, General Mo Qiandai of Beiguo Zhenguo.

Back then, Qiao Zhongguo attacked Beiguo with great momentum. The rest of the people under Qiao Zhongguo's hands were simply not enough. The only one who could stop him was Mo Qiandai.

But he was just fighting and retreating, delaying Qiao Zhongguo's progress.

During this trip to the north, Qiao Zhongguo had a pretty good idea of the situation in Jiaocheng, and it was Mo Qiandai who was guarding it.

The person opposite just said "Young General", and the only ones who could be called that were Mo Qiandai's two sons.

However, Mo Qiandai's eldest son, Mo Yonglin, is older, while his second son, Mo Yongsheng, is younger, as young as a weakling.

If Mo Yongsheng is really sneaking around here, the source of the epidemic is probably here!

"It's so easy! Dad is really serious about why he sent me to guard here! In two months, I didn't see a single bird!"

"It's a good thing now, I'm sending you an ancestor! I... I was so sick when I saw his white-faced, feminine look!"

"Major General!"

When the people on the side heard these two sentences, they seemed to be a little panicked, and their voices became louder.

"Oh? It seems that the young general is quite dissatisfied with this king?"

A clear, clear voice suddenly sounded, unhurriedly.

When Qiao Diyi heard this voice, he suddenly trembled all over and clenched the withered grass under his hands.

Qiao Bo suddenly turned around, his eyes widened, and he looked at Qiao Diyi.

Qiao Diyi slowly took a breath and nodded lightly.

Shen Yuanbai!

This is definitely Shen Yuanbai's voice!

"Oh, how dare the general be dissatisfied with the prince? It's just that in the past two months, this place has been deserted, and the general feels that staying here is just a waste of time."

Although the owner of the voice said this, he did not hide the arrogance and disdain in his words.

Shen Yuanbai didn't seem to care, his voice remained cold and cold.

"General Mo ordered the Major General to stay here. There is a profound meaning in it. Major General, please don't let down General Mo's good intentions."

This didactic remark undoubtedly ignited the grumpy Major General.

He sneered, "My father sent me a message, praising the prince for his intelligence, ingenuity, and resourcefulness. Since the prince understands the good intentions of my father so well, I might as well talk about it. After all, I have been waiting here for two months, and I am finally awakening." I'm restless."

"Besides, I really don't understand why the prince invited himself here. If you didn't come, maybe we would have been recalled by our father."

This was a strange statement, and it was obvious that he was very resentful. It was because he felt that Shen Yuanbai was too troublesome, which prevented them from returning to the city.

The people around him lowered their heads in silence, not daring to get involved.

Shen Yuanbai chuckled lightly when he heard this, but the meaning was unclear.

"Young General, you are so complimentary. Your Majesty has sent me to Jiaocheng. Although I am here to assist you, General Mo is a highly respected and respected general, so why should I come here to do the axe?"

"Now that General Mo has come up with a useful strategy to eradicate evil from epidemics, I naturally want to come and see it."

"As for General Mo asking the Major General to stay here, it is probably to prevent the Yong Dynasty people from reacting and coming to destroy the source of the epidemic."

"The Yong Dynasty is now on high alert, and we can't find out what's going on in Wuding City. General Mo probably hopes that the young general can capture the person alive to find out what's going on in Wuding."

Hearing this, Qiao Diyi looked at Xiao Qianyue beside him, their eyebrows filled with anger.

Judging from Shen Yuanbai's words, this epidemic was indeed caused by the Northern Thieves, and it was Mo Qiandai's handiwork!

Shen Yuanbai was extremely humble in his words and seemed to be quite polite, but the young general didn't buy it.

"Those stupid people in Wuding City should be dead now. What's there to explore? If they can react, will they still need me to wait here for two months?"

"Young General, the Yong Dynasty is extremely powerful, so we must not underestimate the enemy. Before I came, I heard from General Mo that Qiao Zhongguo was rushing to the north for reinforcements."

Shen Yuanbai persuaded lightly.

The young general sneered and couldn't help but sarcastically said:

"From what the prince said, do you really admire that bitch Qiao Zhongguo? He was born and raised in the Yong Dynasty after all. Oh, prince, please don't turn your elbows outward."

"In any case, today I will send a message to my father to request that he return to the city. If the prince is reluctant to leave, he can stay here for a long time!"

The footsteps gradually faded away, and it seemed that the young general had left temporarily.

Qiao Diyi's eyebrows deepened when he heard this. He waited for a long time until there was no sound from the other side, and then he made a gesture to Qiao Bo.

The three of them retreated cautiously, ensuring that they were completely out of sight of each other.

At this time, Xiao Qianyue could no longer hold back the hatred in her heart. She raised her eyebrows and said coldly:

"The traitor from the North has no conscience! This bullshit Major General, we will never let him leave alive!"

Qiao Diyi nodded solemnly, looked at the sky, and whispered with murderous intent:

"The moon is dark and the wind is high—a murderous night!"

Chapter 456 Learn to play tricks

"Master, what do you want to do? I listen to you!"

Qiao Bo's calm gaze fell on Qiao Diyi's face, as if he had regarded him as his backbone.

Xiao Qianyue also turned her head and looked over after hearing this.

Qiao Diyi clenched his fists and slowly suppressed the anger and hatred in his heart. After taking a breath, he calmed down completely.

"Yue'er, Uncle Qiao, we can't rush this matter, especially Shen Yuanbai is also involved."

Before setting off, my little sister held his hand and gave him earnest instructions.

"Second brother, when you and dad arrive in Wuding on this trip, you may face off against Shen Yuanbai."

"His current situation in the North Kingdom is extremely embarrassing, and our previous plan included a plan to have a child. If King Jinyu wants his offspring to be born safely, he will definitely find ways to transfer Shen Yuanbai away from the royal court."

"This epidemic came out of nowhere, but I don't think it may be Shen Yuanbai's handiwork. I had a conversation with him in Nanli. Now he is neither an enemy nor a friend. He may act as he pleases and is elusive."

"Jiaojiao knows that second brother doesn't like to play tricks, but if one day he really faces Shen Yuanbai face to face, second brother can think of the worst situation and make the best plan."

"Shen Yuanbai is very smart, but he is not omnipotent. The second brother still has the talisman I gave him in his arms. You must think carefully before the time comes and go ahead! Blast them!"

Qiao Diyi's eyes flashed with the image of Jiaojiao puffing up her cheeks to cheer him up. His heart felt warm and he felt more confident.

Thoughts were flowing in his mind, and he said calmly:

"Yue'er, Uncle Qiao, we have not covered up our journey north. If Shen Yuanbai wants to investigate, he must know our whereabouts very well."

"Today we are here, and it is such a coincidence that Shen Yuanbai also appears here. Although the words just sounded like an ordinary quarrel, they also clearly revealed the other party's details to us."

Xiao Qianyue was still very angry just now, but when Qiao Diyi said this, she immediately came to her senses.

She nodded thoughtfully, "Erlang's words are true. As for what he said just now, we know that the source of the epidemic is here, and the culprit is Mo Qiandai, and the leader guarding here is Mo Qiandai." Qian Dai's son!"

Qiao Diyi's eyebrows showed a dark color, "Shen Yuanbai couldn't have guessed that I was the one who followed my father northward. Perhaps he expected that we traveled day and night to find this place."

"Although I don't know what his intentions are, let's think about the worst for now. If what we heard today is a play between Shen Yuanbai and General Na Mo, it is most likely to lure us into taking the bait. Maybe the other side has already set a trap."

"If Shen Yuanbai and the young general are really at odds, then tonight we will kill two birds with one stone. While capturing the young general, we will also find out about Shen Yuanbai's background!"

At this point, Qiao Diyi has a plan in mind.

Qiao Bo was stunned for a while as he listened. He was really not good at these twists and turns.

I originally thought that the second young master, like him, would follow the path of subduing others with force, but I didn't expect that the second young master would also be very clear-cut when it came to strategies.

At this time, Qiao Diyi waved, and Qiao Bo and Xiao Qianyue quickly came over. The three of them muttered for a while, and then waited for darkness.

————

As night fell, both sides of the Wuding River were quiet, without any light.

Seeing this, Qiao Diyi secretly nodded.

Although the young general said he couldn't stay any longer, at night he was too cautious not to light a fire.

At night in the northern border, the cold air invades the body. It is really difficult to hold on for two months.

Qiao Diyi repeatedly overestimated the young general in his heart, and then he gathered his energy and walked alone in the birch forest at night. The dagger in his hand was close to his forearm, glowing with cold light.

Soon, the figures of Jiaocheng soldiers appeared in his field of vision, as well as low voices.

"Mother, if you keep guarding like this, my life will be frozen to death."

"Didn't the Major General write a letter to General Mo? Hurry, hurry!"

"Come on, King Beigui is still here. How can we leave if he doesn't leave? I just don't understand why he comes here to make trouble for someone with a body like a woman!"

"Shh! You don't want your life!"

"Don't worry, he is huddled in the tent now, covered with brocade quilt and mink fur. It's not like us lowly lives who are freezing here! Tsk, don't tell me, that face of King Beigui is really... ....I heard that she looks 100% similar to Princess Yuliu!"

Snapped!

A loud slap suddenly sounded, and the person who had been following the joke suddenly became cold:

"Princess is a righteous person who sacrificed herself to save the people from the war! Gou Laoer, forget it if you make fun of King Beigui, but I will not spare you for blaspheming the princess!"

"Wang Qi, you fucking——"

Before Gou Laoer finished speaking, a burst of hot blood suddenly sprayed on his face and splashed into his mouth, which was shockingly hot.

Gou Laoer was stunned, his eyes widened, and then he saw that Wang Qi's throat had been cut neatly at some point.

And behind Wang Qi's head, a pair of sharp and glowing eyes were staring at him, like a ghost in the dark night!

Gou Laoer's whole body trembled violently, and before a scream could escape from his throat, a strong force hit his chin, and something rolled down his throat and was swallowed into his belly.

The black shadow stepped forward, the dagger pressed against Gou Laoer's neck, and a gloomy voice sounded:

"If you want to survive, please answer quickly, how many people are stationed here!"

Gou Laoer was so scared that his whole body was hairy. He wanted to struggle but his hands and feet lost strength for some reason. He said in a hoarse voice: "Spare... spare my life."

"Say it!"

The tip of the dagger struck hard and pierced the skin.

Gou Laoer's eyes were wide open and he spoke in a panic to survive: "Two hundred people! Two--"

The dagger instantly penetrated Gou Laoer's neck, clean and crisp.

Wang Qi had a bottom line in his heart, or had great righteousness, so he took the lead and killed him with one blow. Gou Laoer speaks obscenely and focuses on lust. This kind of person is greedy for life and afraid of death.

Qiao Diyi made an instant judgment and succeeded in asking the total number of taxi soldiers stationed here.

He stood up, gestured not far away, and then continued to move forward.

two hundred......

not much!

In the silence of the night, when the sword was raised and fell, the Jiaocheng soldiers who were watching the wind in twos and threes died in confusion.

Qiao Diyi took off the armor of one of them and put it on his body. He walked in silence in silence and finally saw a tent with a weak candlelight!

A figure was reflected on the tent by the candlelight, and it looked like a heavy-backed figure. It was not Shen Yuanbai.

Qiao Diyi knew what was going on and waited quietly in the dark.

About half a quarter of an hour later, a woman's song suddenly rang out in the silent birch forest. It was carried from afar by the whistling north wind. The tone was sad and gentle, extremely unexpected!

Even though Qiao Diyi had been prepared in his heart, under this situation, even he couldn't help but feel a hair on his back.

Instantly, exclamations came one after another, and dozens of people gathered from all around, shouting "Young General" and hurriedly walked towards the tent in front of them.

The people in the tent also stood up suddenly and hurriedly opened the curtain and came out.

Qiao Diyi followed the others and walked forward very naturally, the blood-stained dagger in his sleeve ready to go!

Chapter 457 Abducting people!

"Where's the sound coming from?"

"Light the torch!"

There were shouts of surprise, everyone was well-trained after all, and they were not in panic even though they were shocked.

Qiao Diyi's steps were fast and he had arrived at the Major General's side ahead of everyone else.

When he got closer, Qiao Diyi could see clearly that the young general looked very young. He should be Mo Qiandai's second son, Mo Yongsheng.

"Major General, are you okay?"

Qiao Diyi spoke quickly, "full of concern" and leaned towards him.

Mo Yongsheng turned his head, his face full of impatience, "What can I do-"

Before he could finish speaking, a bloody dagger was already pressed against his neck.

Qiao Diyi would not think that Mo Yongsheng was an ordinary person. He turned his left hand and stretched out another dagger. With extremely fast movements, he stabbed Mo Yongsheng twice in the waist, but avoided it. Crucial.

"Ah You--"

Shouts of pain sounded, and torches were lit at this moment.

Everyone raised their heads with lingering fear, and suddenly they all froze on the spot.

I saw the major general tilting to the side, with a person supporting him behind him, but holding a dagger against the major general's throat!

The major general's right hand was covering his waist, where blood was pouring out, and the back of his hand was instantly stained red, and it fell to the ground.

"Major General!"

Everyone was stunned and scared to death!

Qiao Diyi dragged Mo Yongsheng back two steps and distanced himself from everyone before saying in a stern voice:

"No one comes here, or I'll kill him!"

"Qiao Diyi!"

At this time, a voice rose.

Everyone turned to look and saw Shen Yuanbai walking towards from the forest with gloomy eyebrows.

When Qiao Diyi saw Shen Yuanbai, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and looked at him with a more probing look.

The rest of the people hurriedly gathered around Shen Yuanbai with panic on their faces.

"This person is Qiao Diyi, the second son of Qiao Zhongguo!"

Shen Yuanbai spoke up again, causing everyone to change their expressions.

They don't know Qiao Diyi, but everyone knows Qiao Zhongguo's name!

When Mo Yongsheng heard Qiao Diyi's identity, his already pale face became even more ugly.

He raised his head and glanced at Shen Yuanbai, with a hint of regret on his frown.

They only mentioned the Qiao family during the day, but they didn't expect the Qiao family to actually come...

After everyone learned that the visitor was Qiao Zhongguo's son, their already panicked mood became even more frightened.

"You...what do you want to do!"

Someone had the guts to shout and ask Qiao Diyi.

Qiao Diyi laughed angrily when he heard this, "Beijing thieves! You are spreading disease here, you are crazy and sinful, and you actually have the nerve to ask me what I want to do!"

With a strong force on his hand, blood oozed from Mo Yongsheng's neck.

"Don't hurt the Major General!"

Everyone was afraid of coming forward.

At this time, Qiao Diyi raised his head and glanced at Shen Yuanbai, and suddenly said softly:

"If you can't keep me, whoever dares to take action against me will be blamed for killing the young general. If anyone is not afraid of being held accountable by Mo Qiandai, feel free to come forward!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts trembled. You looked at me and I looked at you. They really didn't dare to step forward.

They were recruited by the imperial court. After all, they were all ordinary people, but their status was no more valuable than that of a major general.

If the young general was kidnapped by Qiao Diyi today, he would still have a life left. If he really died here, they would probably have no way out.

After all, they all know General Mo's reputation and thunderous methods.

With their thoughts at this point, everyone looked at Shen Yuanbai.

The King of Beigui has the highest status among those present, so they only need to obey orders.

Shen Yuanbai noticed everyone's gaze, and when he looked at Qiao Diyi not far away, the corners of his mouth curled up almost imperceptibly.

He had known for a long time that it would be Qiao Diyi who would come here.

And Qiao Diyi came alone, how could Qiao Jiaojiao not give Qiao Diyi a way to save his life?

With the blessing of supernatural powers, Qiao Diyi is in an invincible position today.

Mo Yongsheng is arrogant and self-willed. He deliberately warned him during the day because he knew about Mo Yongsheng's rebellious mentality, so he would not be wary of it.

Mo Qiandai, that old man, can even think of ways to "eliminate evil with epidemics", which shows that he is ruthless. No matter whether his beloved son is killed or captured, it will make him even crazier.

With his thoughts reaching this point, Shen Yuanbai's eyes glowed with light.

Let's be chaotic, it's better to be chaotic...

Seeing everyone waiting for his decision, Shen Yuanbai's face was full of "tangle", and it was obviously difficult to make a decision.

When Mo Yongsheng saw this, he suddenly took a deep breath and slammed into the dagger in Qiao Diyi's hand!

Qiao Diyi was always vigilant. When he saw this, he moved his body forward, and then raised his hand to cover Mo Yongsheng's mouth and nose.

Mo Yongsheng took in a breath of turbid air, swayed his whole body, and then felt that all the strength in his body began to withdraw.

His heart suddenly felt cold.

He didn't struggle just now, just to wait for Qiao Diyi's attention to be distracted, and then gather his strength to kill himself.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Diyi reacted so quickly. It can be seen that he was prepared and had already understood his thoughts. He was waiting for him here!

Seeing that he could not seek death, Mo Yongsheng could only force up his strength and shouted:

"Hurry up and kill him! It's not a loss if I exchange my life for the life of Qiao Zhongguo's son!"

Hearing this, Qiao Diyi sneered: "If you want to fulfill your reputation of loyalty, don't forget that your father is famous for killing without blinking an eye!"

"If you die in front of them today, how will they survive?"

Qiao Diyi had already seen everyone's concerns from their hesitation.

He came here not only to break the source of the epidemic set by the Northern Thieves, but also to bring Mo Yongsheng back to Wuding!

He wanted to use the blood of Mo Yongsheng to sacrifice the souls of the people who Wu Ding had killed in vain, and to break the theory of "heavenly punishment". By then, people would be comforted and united, so that they could eliminate the epidemic and swallow up the Northern Kingdom together!

When Shen Yuanbai heard this, he suddenly raised his eyes and glanced at Qiao Diyi, with surprise in his eyes.

In his impression, Qiao Diyi was more of a brave and foolhardy person. The last confrontation with him was at Papi Ridge. Although Qiao Diyi was ambushing there early, his methods were not very clever.

In Shen Yuanbai's view, if it was Qiao Zhongguo or Qiao Tianjing who ambushed him at that time, he might not be able to wait until Yin Zhu alive.

I didn't expect that even Qiao Diyi would have grown to such an extent after not seeing each other for more than a year...

Mo Yongsheng felt anxious when he saw that everyone was really not moving.

After he was kidnapped, he was going to die after all. If he could replace Qiao Diyi here, it wouldn't be considered a loss of father's face!

"Your Majesty, during the day the general spoke freely. You were sent by the king. You should know that the overall situation is more important. The life of the general is insignificant! Hurry up and give the order to take action!"

Shen Yuanbai was "hesitant to make a decision" after hearing this. He opened his mouth but could not say anything to make everyone take action.

At this moment, an extremely deep voice came from the birch forest behind everyone:

"Young Master, the general and the Qiao Family Army are here to help!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their heads and their expressions changed drastically!

The name of Qiao Jiajun is like thunder in the Northern Kingdom!

Qiao Diyi raised the corner of his mouth, took the opportunity to cover Mo Yongsheng's mouth, and dragged him, who was already weak, back quickly!

Everyone looked behind them with wary expressions. Only Shen Yuanbai faced the firelight and quietly watched Qiao Diyi go away.

The moment he met Qiao Diyi's eyes, Shen Yuanbai raised the corners of his mouth, moved his thin lips slightly, and said something silently.

Qiao Diyi frowned, grabbed Mo Yongsheng and quickly hid himself in the dark birch forest.

Among the hundreds of soldiers present, some actually saw Qiao Diyi leaving, but everyone pretended to be dumbfounded and no one dared to catch up.

In the darkness at this time, the sad and melodious song sounded again, and this time it gave Qiao Diyi the direction.

Qiao Diyi walked quickly with a gloomy expression on his face.

He could vaguely tell, and just now Shen Yuanbai said:

"Call your sister here, I have a big gift for her..."

Chapter 458 The Everlasting Night Light

Qiao Diyi walked quickly in the direction of the singing. Mo Yongsheng had fallen into a coma due to excessive blood loss.

Qiao Diyi roughly held his collar and kept looking towards the Wuding River. Suddenly his eyes narrowed, and after turning back to confirm that there were no pursuers, he walked towards the Wuding River.

All you can see are ropes three fingers thick. One end of the rope is tied to the birch tree by the river, and the other end extends into the Wuding River.

It was pitch black all around. Qiao Diyi looked around and could only vaguely see a dark shadow floating in the river.

He looked stern, maybe this is the trick of the epidemic!

Qiao Diyi secretly looked around, thought over the road he had traveled tonight, and then turned around and left with a sullen face.

The shadow in the river is unknown. If it is really the source of the epidemic, it would be best for Dr. Zou and the others to find out.

And since the Northern Thief can plot once, he can plot a second time and a third time. When Dad arrives in Wuding, he will have to send someone to guard him in the upper reaches of the Wuding River, which is the safest place.

Qiao Diyi continued to advance in the dark, and soon the ethereal singing gradually became clearer. Turning around the birch forest in front, he saw the figure on the other side of the river.

"Yue'er!"

Qiao Diyi lowered his voice and called softly.

The singing stopped suddenly, Xiao Qianyue looked over and saw the figure Qiao Diyi was carrying, and felt happy.

"Erlang, is it done?"

The river channel in the upper reaches of Wuding River is not very wide, so Xiao Qianyue threw a rope just in case.

Qiao Diyi took the rope, then suddenly gathered strength and jumped up with Mo Yongsheng on his back.

The moment he landed, Qiao Diyi threw Mo Yongsheng to the ground.

Xiao Qianyue came forward, looked Qiao Diyi up and down, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was safe and sound.

"It's been a long time since I held my throat to sing. It's so unpleasant. Next time I'll sing you a folk song from the south. Daddy taught me it. It's clear and nice!"

Qiao Diyi's mind flashed back to Xiao Qianyue's "pretentious" babbling, and he couldn't help but chuckle, and his originally heavy heart became lighter.

He squatted down, tore off a piece of Mo Yongsheng's hem, bandaged Mo Yongsheng roughly, and said coldly:

"It's not time for him to die yet!"

"Yue'er, let's go meet Qiao Bo!"

Qiao Diyi picked up Mo Yongsheng and walked back with Xiao Qianyue as agreed.

Originally, it was a happy thing to capture Mo Yongsheng, but Qiao Diyi's face was really not good-looking. Xiao Qianyue frowned slightly, tilted her head and asked:

"Erlang, did something else happen just now? About Shen Yuanbai?"

Qiao Diyi didn't even think of a reason, so he told Xiao Qianyue everything about what happened just now.

Before setting off, Jiaojiao had thoughtfully told Qiao Diyi that there was no need to hide her powers from Xiao Qianyue.

After all, Xiao Qianyue is going to use the All-Disease-Resistant Pill and the Rebound Talisman later on, and now that we are all a family, we need to be honest with each other.

Therefore, on the way north, Qiao Diyi told Xiao Qianyue about Jiaojiao, although Xiao Qianyue was still a little skeptical because she had never seen her before.

"He wants to see Jiaojiao?"

Xiao Qianyue looked surprised after hearing what Qiao Diyi said.

"It's so dark, and Shen Yuanbai said such a long sentence. Even if there is a torch, could you still see it wrong? What if he is scolding you?"

Qiao Diyi: "..."

When he was still young, his father taught him lip reading. Even if he misunderstood the last half of a sentence, the word "sister" was always unmistakable.

Xiao Qianyue actually said casually that in her opinion, Qiao Diyi would not make such a low-level mistake.

"Erlang, don't worry. Since it's a big gift for Jiaojiao, it will be revealed only when Jiaojiao comes."

"You also said that Jiaojiao is independent. You might as well send a letter to Jiaojiao and let her make her own decision on this matter."

Qiao Diyi nodded in approval when he heard this. He wanted to let his little sister know about this matter no matter what. It would be bad if something happened because of concealment and delay.

At this time, they also arrived at the agreed place.

About half a quarter of an hour later, Qiao Bo hurried over, also unscathed.

Seeing Mo Yongsheng lying aside, Qiao Bo said "Hey", obviously very satisfied.

"Master, let's go first, leave the birch forest and find a place to rest."

Qiao Bo picked up Mo Yongsheng, and the three of them walked out of the birch forest, found the horse tied here, immediately got on the horse and left, looking for a small col to repair it all night.

Uncle Qiao was experienced, so even if Mo Qiandai wanted to send people to chase him, he would still have to wait for the message to be sent back to Jiaocheng. After this, they would all return to Wuding City!

At dawn the next day, they set out again.

The day has come to the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, and the northern border has entered the coldest period. Snow is still falling in the sky today, making Job feel as if he is facing a formidable enemy.

He and Qiao Diyi took turns taking Mo Yongsheng with them, not daring to stop at all, and hurried to Wuding.

Mo Yongsheng was so upset that he almost lost half his life, but Qiao Bo was willing to put all the ginseng pills into Mo Yongsheng's mouth.

The three of them were riding fast in the wilderness of the north. Heavy snow obscured their sight and the road became increasingly difficult to walk.

Xiao Qianyue's whole body was numb from the cold, and her buttocks bounced as if they kept hitting rocks.

There was one more Mo Yongsheng, the speed was slower after all, and it was getting dark again, but the shadow of Wuding City had not yet appeared in the field of vision.

Uncle Qiao was anxious in his heart, but he suppressed his anxiety and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Master, Madam, hold on a little longer, the snow is so heavy that it can't stop! Let's work together!"

"good!"

Qiao Diyi and Xiao Qianyue responded in unison.

The horse under the seat seemed to be reaching its limit. Qiao Diyi's face was solemn. He and Xiao Qianqian had just arrived at the beginning of the month and had already lost their way in the strong wind and heavy snow.

Qiao Bo's heart was high and he ran forward based on his intuition. He knew in his heart that if they went in the wrong direction, they would be dead tonight!

The sky turned completely dark, and Mo Yongsheng woke up and fell asleep in the bumps. At this time, he raised his head with difficulty, saw darkness all around, and suddenly grinned ferociously.

The voice was hoarse, but full of joy.

He is going to die, but Qiao Diyi may not survive!

On a snowy night, if you can't find a place to stay as soon as possible, you will die in the north!

Haha, okay, he dragged Qiao Diyi to death after all!

The wind and snow poured into his mouth, and he coughed twice. His whole body was numb and he couldn't even feel the slightest pain.

Qiao Bo looked at the endless night ahead, with a hint of fear in his heart.

He is not afraid of death, but there are young master and young lady behind him!

Qiao Bo was breathing heavily, and looked back from time to time to see if Qiao Diyi and Xiao Qianyue were following. As a result, the horse he was sitting on jumped forward, and he and Mo Yongsheng sitting behind him were thrown away.

"Job!"

Qiao Diyi and Xiao Qianyue shouted quickly, and they jumped off the horse at the same time. When they helped Qiao Bo, Qiao Bo grinned and looked embarrassed!

Seeing the concerned eyes of Qiao Diyi and Xiao Qianyue, Qiao Bo blamed himself.

He shouldn't boast that he had stayed in the northern border for a few years and then dared to take the young master and young lady deep into the country alone. If something really happened tonight, he would definitely be blamed for his death!

"Master, Madam, mount your horse quickly! Don't stop!"

Qiao Bo struggled to get up, looked back, and was dumbfounded.

His horse was already frothing at the mouth, huffing and puffing, and he was about to die!

It's over!

Qiao Bo's expression changed drastically!

Just when his heart was freezing, Qiao Diyi suddenly exclaimed!

Qiao Bo turned his head and followed Qiao Diyi's gaze, and saw a cluster of firelight in the dark distance, like a lantern that lights up the night!

Chapter 459 Is there really such a miracle medicine in the world?

Qiao Bo stood up suddenly and shouted at the light: "Who is coming!"

"Brother! Is it the eldest brother! I am the third child!"

The rich voice was mixed in the wind and snow and came from afar, like the sound of nature!

"The third child! It's me! The young master and the young madam are also here!"

Qiao Bo suddenly became energetic and almost burst into tears at this moment!

Qiao Diyi's eyes lit up when he heard the sound, and he quickly grabbed Xiao Qianyue beside him.

Soon the fire approached, and besides Qiao San, there were also Qiao Jiu and Qiao Shisan!

With the response, the horror of the snowy night was finally over. Only then did Qiao Diyi remember that the half-dead Mo Yongsheng was still lying in the snow.

Qiao Jiu stepped forward and picked up Mo Yongsheng, and everyone led the horse back.

Only then did Qiao Bo realize that he had been walking in the right direction. As long as he persisted, he would be able to meet the general in just half a quarter of an hour!

Yes, Qiao Zhongguo is here, two days earlier than scheduled!

The entire army stayed in Beiding City waiting for orders, while Qiao Zhongguo led Qiao Jiajun and a group of doctors through the gate.

They have not yet entered Wuding City, but have camped on Wuding Long Road, waiting for Qiao Diyi to bring back the message.

After entering the camp, the sudden warmth made several people running around on the snowy night shiver!

Qiao Zhongguo came forward, walked directly to Xiao Qianyue, handed over a large cloak, and shouted with concern:

"Yue'er, come here and warm yourself by the fire!"

Xiao Qianyue was not polite and almost ran to the fire. The moment the heat hit her face, she breathed a sigh of relief and felt like she was alive.

Qiao Diyi jumped over, grinning and squatting in line with Xiao Qianyue.

In front of Qiao Zhongguo, the two of them lost their composure and seemed to have returned to their previous appearance.

Doctor Zou was also in the tent at the moment, Qiao Bo quickly handed Mo Yongsheng over to him and revealed his identity in a few words.

Doctor Zou stepped forward and took a look, and couldn't help but be shocked, "Oh! He's been treated like this!"

Qiao Diyi turned his head and his eyebrows suddenly darkened, "He was meant to die. He only breathed a sigh of relief to give an explanation to the people of Wuding!"

Hearing this, Qiao Zhongguo lowered his eyes and glanced at Qiao Diyi. He could vaguely tell that his son was a little different.

He stepped forward and patted Qiao Diyi on the head, "Let me tell you what you learned."

Qiao Diyi was about to report everything he had seen and heard in the upper reaches of the Wuding River. Upon hearing this, Imperial Physician Zou suddenly stopped bandaging his hands.

"Yes......"

He murmured.

Qiao Zhongguo asked hurriedly: "Doctor Zou, do you have any advice?"

When Doctor Zou stood up, his face was full of anger and his whole body was trembling uncontrollably.

"The plague mostly affects livestock. If I guess correctly, the black shadows that Master Qiao saw in the river may be livestock that died of the plague!"

"If you disembowel it or keep it warm until it rots, and then hang it in the river, the disease will spread along the river. If you drink the water in the river, especially the weak, you will be hard to escape!"

"The epidemic spreads very fast, and if one person is infected, the disease will spread from person to person, which ultimately leads to today's predicament and harms tens of thousands of people in Dayong!"

"Crazy! The Northern Thief... The Northern Thief is truly an inhumane beast!"

Imperial Physician Zou scolded loudly, with tears hidden on his old face.

Qiao Zhongguo stood aside and clenched his fists when he heard this.

"Mo Qian Dai, what a Mo Qian Dai!"

Everyone in the tent was furious, but Qiao Zhongguo was the first to adjust his mood and make arrangements.

Soon, orders came out from the tent, and the people who would enter the city tomorrow were selected.

That night, Qiao Zhongguo kept Dr. Zou behind and handed him a wooden box.

Doctor Zou looked puzzled. He stretched out his hand to open the box. There were several porcelain bottles inside. He opened one of them and saw two or three dark pills inside.

"Master Qiao, what is this?"

Qiao Zhongguo's eyes were heavy and he said with a stern face: "Mr. Zou, this is a pill that will prevent all diseases. One pill can cure the disease for a month. I will give it to the doctors tonight and we will all go to the city together tomorrow."

"Invulnerable to all diseases?"

Upon hearing this, Imperial Physician Zou first widened his eyes, and then laughed out loud.

"Master Qiao, if there is such a miracle medicine in the world, it would require doctors to do more. If you want to use this to boost morale, this is not a good way."

Qiao Zhongguo's expression did not change when he heard this, and he just looked at Dr. Zou steadily.

Doctor Zou suddenly became dissatisfied when he saw this, "Mr. Qiao, are you worried about those doctors running away from the battlefield? I have been in contact with them all the way, and I can see their determination and -"

At this point, Doctor Zou suddenly couldn't speak any more.

Because Qiao Zhongguo looked at him with such firm eyes, without any intention of joking.

His heart trembled slightly, "Master Qiao, you..."

Qiao Zhongguo looked serious and lowered his voice and said: "Mr. Zou, don't ask me where these medicines come from. You just need to know that these medicines are really hard-won."

"This epidemic is a man-made disaster, but it is also a test. Our Qiao family has tried our best, and we have asked Dr. Zou to take this medicine and swallow this matter into our stomachs."

Doctor Zou suddenly trembled his hands. He didn't think Qiao Zhongguo would joke with him on such a big matter.

Invulnerable to all diseases?

Is there really such a miracle medicine in the world?

At this time, Qiao Zhongguo handed over another porcelain vase, then pressed Dr. Zou's trembling hands and said in a deep voice:

"Mr. Zou, don't get too excited yet. I also have here - the Wonderful Rejuvenation Pill, which can cure epidemic diseases, but it is too precious and is rarely available."

"Wonderful...wonderful rejuvenation? Can it cure epidemic diseases?" Doctor Zou was completely confused.

Qiao Zhongguo nodded, "I don't know how this medicine is made. Take it and have a look. It would be best if it can be reproduced. If not, maybe this battle against the epidemic... will be very long. "

This means Jiaojiao.

This medicine was obtained through merit. Even Jiaojiao was at a loss as to where it came from and what it was made of. If it contained elusive divine power, it would be impossible to replicate it.

If it is made from the right herbs, then God will really help them.

Anyway, worth a try!

When Imperial Physician Zou came out of Qiao Zhongguo's tent, every step he took was like stepping on cotton, as if he was dreaming.

He didn't know why he believed Qiao Zhongguo's lies, and he took the wooden box in a daze and promised to give it to every doctor tonight.

This this......

Did Qiao Zhongguo lie to him?

Doctor Zou looked confused and turned to look at the tent.

It's impossible for Qiao Zhongguo to want to kill them with drugs, right? So these pills should be indestructible.

No matter, let him eat one first!

Doctor Zou hurriedly returned to the tent, poured out a "hundred-poison-proof pill", and looked at the candlelight for a long time, but saw nothing.

He thought for a while, put the pill on the table and cut it open. It was dark inside and had no special taste. He licked it and it was a little sweet!

Doctor Zou took a deep breath and hissed——

He probably owed it to Qiao Zhongguo in his previous life, so he just followed him like a cow and a horse in this life, and he had to test the poison!

Yes, eat it!

Doctor Zou picked up the pill and swallowed it in one gulp. He didn't taste anything. The medicine was already in his stomach.

He sat there for a long time without feeling any discomfort.

Doctor Zou scratched his head, and finally took the wooden box to the tent where the doctors rested...

Chapter 460 I, Qiao Zhongguo, hereby swear an oath

Early the next morning, Qiao Bo and Qiao San rode their horses to Beiding City to mobilize troops.

Qiao Zhongguo had given an order last night, asking Uncle Qiao to take his troops to the upper reaches of the Wuding River to break the source of the epidemic, and then stationed there!

Mo Yongsheng was captured, and Mo Qiandai must have received the news now.

At this time, it was the end of the year, and with constant heavy snowfall and harsh conditions, a big battle would definitely be impossible. If Mo Qiandai sent people to investigate upstream, there might be a small battle to be fought.

Qiao Zhongguo is the most trustworthy person in Qiao Bo's ability. There will be no problem in leaving this matter to him.

Qiao Zhongguo, on his side, brought Qiao Diyi, Xiao Qianyue and other doctors to Wuding City.

Imperial Physician Zou was standing next to Qiao Zhongguo. Behind him were eighty doctors, most of whom recommended themselves along the way and asked to join.

On the city wall, General Ren heard the news and walked in front of everyone while holding his sick body.

"General Ren! It's me, Lao Qiao!" Qiao Zhongguo shouted.

"General Qiao, you... why did you come here! It's useless!"

General Ren leaned his upper body out of the city wall and screamed, his face was shockingly pale.

The moment he saw Qiao Zhongguo, General Ren was so ashamed that he felt ashamed.

As the Wuding Pass Commander, he actually allowed the epidemic to rage so far. If he hadn't been unable to leave behind the Wuding people and the 200,000 troops, he would have killed himself to thank the world!

Fortunately, he is still the uncle of the Holy Father. He has neglected his duty to this extent and deserves death!

How could Qiao Zhongguo not understand the feelings of General Ren? They were both military generals and felt the same way with their innocent hearts!

"General Ren, the source of the epidemic has been found. This is the conspiracy of the northern thief Mo Qiandai, and it is a man-made disaster! I have captured Mo Qiandai's son Mo Yongsheng, and now I am rushing here with doctors, just to relieve the epidemic and save the people. !"

"The fault of General Ren is not the fault of this calamity! The Holy Lord also knows that you have fulfilled your loyalty and responsibilities without any mistakes! Now just open the city gate, you and I will join hands and we will defeat this epidemic!"

When Dr. Zou heard this, he looked at Qiao Zhongguo and took a step forward.

After all, he was old and his voice couldn't travel too far, but now he clenched his fists, raised his head, and screamed with all his strength:

"General Ren! Anyone who is a doctor will go when called upon, no matter how high or low!"

"Wu Ding is facing such a difficult situation today. We have rushed here from all over the world, regardless of life and death, to save the people, to be benevolent, and to fulfill Xinglin's life wish!"

"Please also ask General Ren to open the city gate. Because of the benevolence of doctors like us, even if we bury our bones here, we will never regret it even if we die!"

Behind Imperial Physician Zou, all the doctors couldn't help but get excited after hearing these words, and they raised their fists one after another, "Yes! Whatever your heart desires, you will never regret it even if you die!"

General Ren stood under the city wall and couldn't help crying when he heard the doctors shouting in unison.

For more than two months, he, the people in the city, and the soldiers have been suffering to this day. The dead are miserable, and the survivors are even more miserable!

Day after day, I watched my parents, relatives, and close friends of my children die in my arms. It was so heartbreaking that I wished I could take my own life instead!

In the north of the city, corpses were burned day and night, and the smell was so disgusting that he would never forget it in his life, nor would he dare to forget it.

Now... now I finally have the hope and the redemption I have been waiting for...

"General Ren!"

Qiao Zhongguo raised his voice again, this time with moisture in his voice.

General Ren's throat was sore, he turned his head and nodded to the soldiers behind him, and said hoarsely: "Open the city gate!"

The voice was passed down layer by layer: "Open the city gate——"

The city gate of Wuding finally opened. At this moment, there was despair inside and hope outside.

Qiao Zhongguo led everyone forward, and the doctors behind him all covered themselves with scarves. Only by trying their best to protect themselves could they better help others.

Soon, as the door opened and the scene inside came into view, everyone paused and their eyes turned red instantly.

It snowed heavily last night, and the main roads in the city were completely white.

But even so, it can't cover up the white flags and paper money all over the ground. As far as the eye can see, the city is full of plain silk, as silent as a dead city.

"General Joe!"

The taxi soldiers guarding the city all had red cheeks. It was obvious that they had also contracted the disease. At this time, they all covered their mouths and stepped back.

Seeing this, Qiao Zhongguo felt great grief, and suddenly walked forward quickly and hugged the nearest young man.

The soldier trembled violently and was about to kneel down in fear, but Qiao Zhongguo held him up.

"Don't be afraid, we are late..."

Qiao Zhong's Mandarin was choked with sobs, and it was difficult to express his heartache.

As soon as these words were spoken, the originally closed doors on both sides of the road were gently pushed open.

Some people timidly stuck their heads out, their faces covered with sores and coughing.

Suddenly an old man pushed open the door and came out. He staggered and fell into the snow, but crawled over to Qiao Zhongguo using his hands and feet.

He raised his head and shouted in panic: "General Qiao! It's really General Qiao!"

There are almost no elders in Wuding City who don't know Qiao Zhongguo.

When the city of Wuding was broken and the people were about to be massacred, it was Qiao Zhongguo who led the troops to attack and saved everyone's lives.

Therefore, all those who witnessed the Wuding Massacre remember this god-like face.

Upon seeing this, Qiao Zhongguo hurriedly came forward and leaned over to help the old man up.

The old man burst into tears, clutched Qiao Zhongguo's hand, and cried out: "General Qiao! Why is it not me who died!"

"My son, daughter-in-law, my darling grandson, General Qiao, my darling grandson just learned to call daddy! They are all gone! They are all gone!"

The old man was shaking all over, and suddenly he raised his hands and beat his chest, once again and again.

"General Qiao, I don't understand. We are honest, simple and non-competitive. How could we attract such a punishment from heaven? It will make us suffer all kinds of pain and make us miserable!"

"Did...did I commit some unforgivable crime to kill my good grandson?"

The old man suddenly raised his hand and slapped his face hard. Qiao Zhongguo grabbed his wrist, but tears were already rolling down his face.

When you lose all your loved ones, living becomes more like a punishment.

When the people around him saw this, they all resonated with each other and cried bitterly, calling out the names of their loved ones.

General Ren staggered down from the city wall. Seeing everyone crying, all his strength seemed to have been drained from his body, and he stood still unable to move.

At this time, more and more people gathered on the main road. Their bodies were hunched under the ravages of the epidemic and pain, and their expressions were numb, waiting for "relief."

When Xiao Qianyue saw this, she raised her hands to cover her mouth, tears streaming down her face.

Qiao Zhongguo helped the old man in front of him stand up and looked around, his eyes already red.

He knows that everyone needs a reason to live.

He held back tears and turned to look at Qiao Diyi.

Qiao Diyi had already burst into tears. When he met his father's eyes, he pushed the confused Mo Yongsheng out with hatred.

Qiao Zhongguo walked up to Mo Yongsheng and took in his breath and raised his voice in front of everyone:

"It's not a punishment from heaven! It's a man-made disaster!"

"The people and soldiers of Wuding are holding fast to the northern border. Our loyalty is so great. Who has the right of God to punish us!"

"The epidemic broke out, and I have already found out that this is the trick of the northern thief Mo Qiandai. He poisoned the Wuding River and did this unscrupulous thing in order to invade our country and disturb the hearts of our people!"

"This hatred is irreconcilable. I, Qiao Zhongguo, swear here that I will take Mo Qiandai's head. Blood sacrifice to Wu Ding will be a waste of time for the people and soldiers!"

"This person - is Mo Qiandai's son, Mo Yongsheng!"

"Today I will bring doctors into Wuding, and I will use my blood to warm your cold hearts!"

"The enemy of the country will not forget it. Please work hard to live and see me, Qiao Zhongguo, fulfill my promise and take Mo Qiandai's life!"

At this point, Qiao Zhongguo drew out the long knife from his waist and swung it neatly!

Hot blood sprayed out and fell on the snow, eye-catching and bright.

Mo Yongsheng's head flicked and rolled to the old man's feet.

The old man looked at the head with eyes still closed, his whole body was shaking and his face was red.

He was not afraid, but uncontrollably excited. At this moment, his heart, which had been so numb that he had been begging for death day and night, finally started beating!

It's not a punishment from heaven, it's a man-made disaster!

He can't die!

He wants to avenge his son, his daughter-in-law, and his good grandchildren, and ask for his life from the northern thieves!

The next moment, people on the street came rushing in, shouting "Northern thieves". The dead Wuding City finally came to life!

Seeing this, Qiao Zhongguo turned his head and looked at General Ren not far away.

General Ren slowly shed tears and nodded gratefully to Qiao Zhongguo.

Wuding's dilemma—finally a turning point!
