Chapter 471 A unique treasure in the world

When Xiaosi saw Qiao Tianjing coming back, he stood up with some embarrassment, his face slightly red.

After all, it had been a long time since he shed tears in front of others.

Qiao Tianjing was a wonderful man. He pretended not to know anything and just talked about Shen Yuanzhan's arrangements in a warm voice.

When Xiaosi heard that his brother had asked Brother Qiao to take him to the north, his heart suddenly filled with tears and his eyes became sore.

Jiaojiao raised the corner of her mouth when she heard this, and gently pushed Xiaosi, "Go back quickly, don't forget what you just promised me!"

Xiaosi turned to look at Jiaojiao, then nodded seriously, said goodbye to Qiao Tianjing, and went straight to the palace.

————

In Yikun Palace, the Queen Mother was taking a nap under the loquat tree in the courtyard.

It's a fine day and the sun is shining brightly.

The loquat tree that Xiaosi planted back then was really as tall as a canopy. The sun shone through the loquat leaves on the beauty's couch, and the warmth spread all over the body. It was so comfortable that it made people drowsy.

The Queen Mother had a dream in a trance, dreaming about the scene on the day Xiao Si was born.

She was lying on the bed, biting the veil in her mouth. Outside the room, the Holy Father was pacing back and forth nervously.

At that time, she and the Holy Father had already broken up, but the child was about to give birth, so she had no intention of thinking about why the Holy Lord came, and she just tried her best to give birth to the child.

When the cry started, the nanny said happily from the side: "Congratulations, your Majesty, you are a little prince!"

She was still a little worried about the child and refused to turn her head to look at it, but at this time, her grandma had already sent the child to her.

The cry was strong and powerful, causing her to look slightly sideways.

With just one glance, those trivial grudges and unspeakable pain were easily overcome.

Children are so young, innocent and ignorant, and most innocent.

Her heart suddenly softened, but after a moment of hesitation, she raised her hand and hugged him.

At this time, the door of the palace was suddenly pushed open, and the Holy Father couldn't even wait for grandma to go out to announce the good news, so he barged in.

She suddenly felt a little confused. This child had arrived in a disgraceful way. His Majesty knew it very well, so how could he be so anxious?

She saw the Holy Master striding to the bedside regardless of the blood. His eyes fell on the child's face, his breathing was rapid, and his eyes were slightly wide open.

"Is it...a boy or a girl?"

She didn't say anything, but the nanny beside her was already smiling and announcing the good news: "Back to the Holy One, your Majesty has given birth to a little prince!"

At this moment, she saw all the anticipation and eagerness on the Lord's face fade away. His lips pursed, his face suddenly turned pale, and his eyes looking at the child became extremely cold.

The next moment, he walked away without saying a word.

Everyone in the palace was shocked. They thought that the Holy One broke in regardless of the rules because he was looking forward to this child. Why...why does he seem to be disappointed and unhappy now?

When she saw everyone's sluggish expressions, her heart felt like needles pricking her heart.

It's not that she still has expectations for the Holy One, but she feels sorry for the child in her arms, because from the moment he was born, he was destined not to have father's love and was destined not to be taken seriously.

It was also from this moment on that she completely put aside her pain and decided to treat this child well.

She gave birth to him, and if he is not loved by his father, then as a mother, she will give him double love and let him grow up healthy and peaceful...

"Queen Mother?"

A familiar voice rang in her ears. The Queen Mother opened her eyes in a daze and met Xiaosi's gentle and concerned eyes.

"Mother, you will catch a cold if you sleep here."

Xiaosi said warmly, took the cloak handed by others, and gently covered the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother came back to her senses, sat up with crooked eyebrows, raised her hand and touched Xiaosi's head.

"When Xiaosi grows up, he will feel sorry for others. No, my mother's Xiaosi will feel sorry for others since she was a child."

Xiaosi felt the long-lost touch, his throat was dry, and his eyes were stinging more and more.

He felt guilty and confessed his sins, so he alienated his mother awkwardly, fearing that her mother would recall those unsavory things when she saw him.

But did his alienation hurt the queen mother even more?

At this point in his thoughts, Xiaosi felt extremely regretful. He moved his lips and mustered up the courage to say:

"Mother, I'm sorry..."

The Queen Mother's hand suddenly stopped, and suddenly thousands of thoughts came to her heart, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

She knows everything.

Xiaosi must have heard the conversation with Zhan'er that night. How could she, a mother, not see the changes in her child?

In fact, she also knew the even more unbearable truth, but she didn't even tell Zhan'er.

When the Holy Father saw that Xiao Si was a boy, he was disappointed and left. How could she not be more considerate?

She has no doubt that everything must be related to Yu Liu. Even though Yu Liu has been dead for many years, she will always stand between her and the Holy One.

So she sent a special person to go to the North to investigate, and soon learned that there was a popular method of "red thread reincarnation" among the people in the North...

The moment she came up with the guess, various emotions such as nausea, disgust, hatred, and fear rushed into her heart. Even she couldn't help but feel lucky that the fourth child was a boy.

Tutoring day by day, nurturing every night, the bond of family love is far better than anything else.

Her mistress is a unique treasure in the world, shining like a pearl.

"Xiao Si, the last person who doesn't have to say sorry to my mother is you."

The Queen Mother's eyes were moist, and she gently held Xiaosi's face.

"My mother understands everything. Xiaosi doesn't need to blame myself for what happened to my mother. If you say you are innocent, then you are so innocent."

Just this sentence made Xiaosi burst into tears.

He was too stupid before. Just like Sister Qiao said, he was the one who got into trouble.

"Mother..."

Xiaosi pursed his lips and tears rolled down his face. The countless chaotic emotions in his young heart were all washed away by the selfless maternal love at this moment.

He opened his mouth and threw himself into the Empress Dowager's arms as before.

The Queen Mother also shed tears, because she knew that Xiaosi was too smart and too kind.

She patted Xiaosi's back gently and said warmly to the warm sun:

"Xiao Si, Xiao Si, you are a gift from God and the Queen Mother's heart."

"My mother only hopes that you will be upright and have no regrets in your heart, and then you will be safe and healthy, and be as free as the wind——"

Mother's hand patted her gently, as patiently, gently, and tolerant as she used to coax a child to sleep.

Xiaosi shed tears silently and nodded heavily.

Children's hearts are hot and pure. As long as they are sprinkled with sunshine and love, towering trees will grow.

Shen Yuanzhan stood at the entrance of the courtyard, watching this scene with warm eyes.

The Queen Mother felt something in her heart and turned to look.

Her Zhan'er is the most noble son in the world. He is gentle and bright, and he shoulders the responsibility of the world with his young body.

There were still tears in the Queen Mother's eyes, but the corners of her mouth could not stop raising.

This deep palace trapped her and beat her with scars, but she was glad that she had never indulged in love, let alone been defeated by conspiracies.

She is self-respecting and proud, and she has also raised two outstanding sons, bringing a diligent and caring king to the world that the Ren family diligently protects.

With her thoughts at this point, the Queen Mother smiled and nodded to Shen Yuanzhan. Shen Yuanzhan's eyes were smiling. At this moment, mother and son had a tacit understanding.

Shen Yuanzhan did not step forward. He took a deep look at Xiaosi, then turned and left with brisk steps.

He knew that their mistress was finally relieved...

Chapter 472 It's finally here

The next day, Qiao Tianjing did not go to court, and the courtiers did not take it seriously.

The next day, Qiao Tianjing still didn't show up, and all the courtiers were slightly surprised.

On the third day, Qiao Tianjing had not yet arrived, and all the courtiers were watching, not knowing what he was doing.

Qiao Tianjing and Tan Hanchi are now the most popular people in front of the Holy Father, and they have not heard any special news from the Qiao family in the past few days.

If Qiao Tianjing doesn't come for one or two days, it can be said that he is taking a break. If he doesn't come for three consecutive days, it can only mean that he has received a secret order from the Holy Emperor and has been entrusted with an important task.

It would be a lie if everyone said they were not envious and jealous, but now no one dared to go to the Holy One to offer eye drops. After all, the Qiao family was at the height of its power, and the Holy One's unconditional favoritism was already a recognized fact.

Qiao Tianjing, who was being secretly discussed by everyone, was at home preparing intensively for his trip north.

This trip was kept secret but not covered up. It was an agreement between the Qiao family and Shen Yuanzhan.

The Northern Kingdom will definitely have something to do in the Yong Dynasty. The Qiao family is now at the forefront of the storm. The news that Qiao Tianjing has not been in court for several days will definitely spread to the Northern Kingdom.

In addition to letting Shen Yuanbai know that Jiaojiao had been invited, this move also revealed Qiao Zhongguo's plan.

Qiao Zhongguo had known for a long time that Qiao Tianjing and Jiaojiao would come to the North one day, so he analyzed the situation in the North early in his letter at home.

Nowadays, the situation in Wuding City is tightly covered. The outside world does not know the casualties of the 200,000 soldiers guarding the border.

Presumably after a winter, the North Country can hardly sit still.

But Mo Qiandai is cunning and calm, so he needs to be given another dose of strong medicine to force him to take action, in order to catch his mistakes and disrupt his military morale!

As for Qiao Tianjing's journey to the north, there is still a star in his team, the Holy Emperor's younger brother, Prince Ling!

Qiao Zhongguo knew his son and daughter well. The two of them were the most calm, and they definitely had enough trump cards for this trip.

In this way, the situation is set!

But Mo Qiandai is shrewd after all, this can only be regarded as a conspiracy. Now it depends on whether Mo Qiandai is willing to take a chance!

In this plan, the biggest variable for the enemy is Jiaojiao.

Shen Yuanbai's position is unclear now, but from the fact that he tricked Mo Yongsheng, it can be seen that he and Mo Qiandai are not in the same camp, so he should not reveal Jiaojiao's specialness to Mo Qiandai.

Of course, the success of the plan cannot depend on whether Shen Yuanbai can keep it secret, so Qiao Tianjing and Jiaojiao also need to make complete preparations.

On April 18th, after celebrating the full moon of Tan Hanchi and Zuo Anning's daughter Tan Zhisui, Qiao Tianjing, Jiaojiao and Xiaosi quietly left Beijing under a team of elite guards.

As for Qiao Mansion, Shen Yuanzhan has sent people to carefully protect it.

If a "fire in the backyard" happened at this time, it would be extremely stupid.

————

Three or four days after Qiao Tianjing and his party left Beijing, Mo Qiandai received the message.

Mo Yonglin was also calm. He frowned and said, "Dad, with Qiao Zhongguo's cautiousness, does he really not know that his eldest son will be able to hide the news that his eldest son is traveling north with the young prince?"

"And since he is traveling north secretly, there must not be many guards accompanying him. What does he mean by this? To lure us into action? To ambush him halfway?"

Mo Qiandai sneered, "That Qiao Pif certainly has bad intentions!"

Mo Yonglin felt a little regretful when he heard this, "Dad, then we can only stand still?"

"That young Prince Ling is a compatriot from the same mother as the Emperor of Yong Dynasty. If we can capture him, we may be able to do a lot, and Qiao Zhongguo will definitely throw a wrench into the trap!"

Mo Qiandai remained calm after hearing this, "Since we can figure out these joints, Qiao Zhongguo will naturally not miss them. He throws the bait just to lure us to bite the hook."

"But Yong Lin, since it's a conspiracy, it depends on which side is better!"

When Mo Yonglin heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Mo Qiandai continued: "Mobilize all the spies lurking in the Yong Dynasty and follow along the way to see what cards Qiao Zhongguo left for his son."

"If there is something you can do, no matter the cost, you should give it a try!"

Mo Yonglin nodded repeatedly, and suddenly said: "Dad, I'm afraid Qiao Zhongguo will send someone to respond. After all, the Yong army he brought is stationed outside Beiding City and has not been affected by the epidemic."

How could Mo Qiandai fail to consider this? He raised his lips coldly, "Then let him take care of himself!"

"In these days, information about Wuding City has been kept tightly sealed. Don't forget that there are still 200,000 troops in the city. I don't know how many percent are left."

Mo Yonglin had a hint of joy on his face when he heard this, "Dad, how serious the epidemic is. Look at the smoke of burning corpses in Wuding City. It has not stopped in the past few months. I think all the Yong Dynasty troops have been killed and injured." , it's not enough to worry about."

Although Mo Qiandai also expected this in his heart, he did not dare to underestimate Qiao Zhongguo.

"Anyway, you'll know once you try it."

Mo Yonglin was a little worried when he heard this.

"Dad, we have been strictly guarding these days because we are worried that Qiao Zhongguo will bring the epidemic back to our northern country. If the two armies meet, we may just allow Qiao Zhongguo to succeed!"

When Mo Qiandai heard this, he glanced at his eldest son and said quietly: "It's just to explore the reality of Wuding City. It doesn't take too many people."

"Yong Lin, if you achieve great things, killing decisively is the right way. Those people... don't need to come back."

"When the time comes, you can lead your soldiers to ambush them halfway. You don't need to come into contact with them. After asking about the situation in Wuding, just shoot them all."

"Besides, the fighting spirit in the army is not strong now, and those people have never returned. It is just right to put this account on Qiao Zhongguo's head, so as to stimulate the bloody spirit of the soldiers."

Mo Qiandai said it so casually that Mo Yonglin was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.

The father and son continued to discuss the details, and at this time, Shen Yuanbai also received relevant information.

Although Qiao Jiaojiao was not mentioned in the letter, Shen Yuanbai knew it well. Even Qiao Tianjing was here, so Qiao Jiaojiao would not be absent.

"It's finally here..."

Shen Yuanbai looked forward and raised his lips slightly.

When he saw that "Prince Ling" was mentioned in the letter, Shen Yuanbai could not help but feel a flash of confusion on his face.

Suddenly seeing the name of an old friend, it was only two years ago that he fled from the Yong Dynasty Palace, but he already felt as if he was in another world.

Shen Yuanbai was silent for a long time, then moved his gaze downwards and read the entire letter.

He tapped his fingertips on the table, his brows filled with deep thought, and soon he raised his lips and chuckled.

"It turns out that this is what Qiao Zhongguo had in mind."

Thinking of Mo Yonglin, who has been constantly looking for trouble in the past few days, Shen Yuanbai's eyes flashed with interest, and he said softly: "In that case, let's push it, there is a good show to watch-"

Shen Yuanbai took up his pen and wrote down the message that Prince Ling of the Yong Dynasty secretly rushed to the north. He also emphasized that Shen Yuanzhan and Shen Yuanling had a deep brotherly relationship, better than father and son. If they could capture Shen Yuanling, it would be of great benefit to the Northern Kingdom.

"Someone is coming."

People outside the tent opened the curtain and entered respectfully: "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

Shen Yuanbai raised the envelope in his hand and said sternly: "This is an urgent and confidential letter, and please send it back to the royal court as soon as possible. Please read it personally."

The subordinate was a close associate of King Jinyu. Hearing this, he hurriedly stepped forward to take the envelope and hurriedly accepted the order.

When the curtain fell again, Shen Yuanbai smiled faintly.

He has already suggested to the king to let Marshal Mo Yonglin personally lead the team to capture Shen Yuanling alive.

It would be really interesting if it could work...

Chapter 473 King Jinyu kills two birds with one stone

The secret letter written by Shen Yuanbai was sent back to the Northern King's Court as quickly as possible and sent to King Jinyu's case.

King Jinyu is sitting behind the case. He is nearly forty years old and has deep eyebrows, but he is still handsome.

At this time, King Jinyu did not touch the letter, but turned to look at Wu Geng, his personal eunuch.

Wu Geng has served King Jinyu for decades, and he can understand his master with just one look.

So Wu Geng stepped forward without hesitation, reached out and opened the letter.

King Jinyu stayed far away. He didn't feel relieved until Wu Geng finished reading the contents of the letter and there was still no difference.

Wu Geng knew what the king was afraid of. After all, the princess had turned the tide for the Northern Kingdom with one letter and one painting.

"Your Majesty, faith is over."

King Jinyu looked thoughtful, then raised his head and said, "Master Zhaoche."

Grand Master Che received the summons and hurried into the royal court. After entering the golden palace, he immediately saluted respectfully:

"See Your Majesty."

King Jinyu bypassed the jade case and personally stepped forward to help Master Che.

Grand Master Che stood up quickly, and King Jinyu had already said warmly: "Grand Master, I wonder how Zhaohua is doing today?"

The Zhaohua mentioned by King Jinyu was the granddaughter of Grand Master Che. She was seventeen years old and a famous noble daughter in the royal capital.

Grand Master Che immediately responded: "Back to the king, Zhao'er looks very good today. Before I entered the palace, Zhao'er was walking in the courtyard accompanied by her mother."

King Jinyu relaxed his eyebrows upon hearing this and nodded with satisfaction.

Thanks to the "Good Pregnancy" brought back by Master Che, he did have his own bloodline, but the unborn child was not in Li Ji's belly.

Grandmaster Che's loyalty was unquestionable. Before leaving Nanli, he had searched for the miracle doctor who had given birth to his son, but the miracle doctor had disappeared.

Grand Master Che was worried, but he could only take "a good pregnancy" as his only hope and take him back to the capital.

He couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard that there was such a magical thing in the world, but as the leader of a country, he could never take the risk of eating this "good pregnancy".

In order to be wary of his clan members and King Beigui, he was worried about which concubine should take the magic medicine. Unexpectedly, Grand Master Che took the initiative to offer his unmarried granddaughter Che Zhaohua.

After hearing this, he readily agreed. After all, this child, regardless of gender, would have to fight against all odds to take over the throne, so he must be of noble birth!

Master Che was also secretly grateful for his suggestion.

Because the news that Li Ji was pregnant was revealed a few days ago, and now she has become the target of public criticism among the clan members.

His little granddaughter was not willing at first, but he kept understanding, and Zhaohua no longer refused after seeing King Jinyu's majestic appearance.

Now Li Ji's existence is just to protect Zhao Hua, and as for her belly...that's also true.

In order to deceive others, the king did not hesitate to cuckold himself. He found a guard to take his place and spent several spring nights with Li Ji.

Even Liji herself still thinks that the child in her belly is King Jinyu's seed.

"The Grand Master has devoted all his energy to serving the country and Gu Gu. Once the child is born, Gu will make Zhao'er the Queen and enjoy infinite glory."

King Jinyu had a smile on his face and was extremely close to Grand Master Che in his words.

Upon hearing this, Taishi Che showed fear on his face, "Your Majesty, I definitely don't have such thoughts. It is Zhao'er's blessing to give birth to a prince and a daughter for Your Majesty, and it is the luck of the Che family. I dare not take this——"

"Hey, how can I still not know how loyal the Grand Master is to the Emperor?"

King Jinyu patted Master Che on the shoulder, then turned to look at Wu Geng.

Upon seeing this, Wu Geng immediately presented Shen Yuanbai's letter. Grand Master Che took it and looked at it, his expression changed slightly.

King Jinyu walked back to the case and sat down. He said casually, "Mo Qiandai also sent a message a few days ago. He said that Bai'er was also present when his youngest son Mo Yongsheng was captured by the Qiao family."

"He suspects that Bai'er's heart is towards the Yong Dynasty and has something to do with Mo Yongsheng's capture. Grand Master, what do you think?"

Master Che shook his head when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, it is true that the prince may have ambitions, but he said that his heart is towards the Yong Dynasty, but I think this is nonsense."

"I have seen the difficult situation that the prince was in in the Yong Dynasty. He was forced to flee south, but the Qiao family still pursued him. When he was rescued by Yin Zhu, the prince almost died."

"The prince must hate the Yong Dynasty and the Qiao family deeply in his heart and will not stop until death. Now the king and the royal court are the prince's last resort."

King Jinyu's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this and he was noncommittal.

He and his father kept a tight lid on what happened back then, and Grand Master Che didn't even know about it.

Bai'erruo didn't know it, so she probably wouldn't have second thoughts. After all, Aunt Rou, who knew about it, had already been told not to talk too much.

But he never expected that Yinzhu was still alive, and was sent to Nanli by his sister, and eventually reunited with Bai'er.

It seems that I have to find a chance to meet Yinzhu...

Thinking of this, King Jinyu was secretly annoyed.

If I could have known earlier that this "good pregnancy" was really useful, I would have asked Master Che to take action and keep the child in Nanli forever.

Now the Chinese people already know about the return of the child, and he is slippery and smart, but it is difficult to handle him for a while.

Master Che didn't know that King Jinyu had countless thoughts flashing through his mind. He pondered for a moment and said slowly:

"Your Majesty, why don't you...accept the prince's request."

King Jinyu came back to his senses and tilted his head slightly when he heard the words, "Oh? What do you think the Grand Master has to say?"

Grand Master Che didn't dare to say anything, and then said after careful consideration:

"Your Majesty, Mo Qiandai now controls half of the army. He has become more and more powerful in recent years, and there are faint signs of competing with you, Your Majesty."

"And he is really cruel and ruthless. He can even think of ways to harm the peace of the world like 'eliminating Yong with epidemics'. Although he is serving the country, he is really frightening. I really dare not expect such a ruthless person to be able to do so." Loyalty to the Emperor."

"As the prince said, if we can capture Prince Ling, it will be a great weapon for the king. This opportunity cannot be missed."

"Your Majesty, if you don't give the order, you will assign Mo Yonglin to capture the people, and order the prince to accompany him..."

King Jinyu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and suddenly took a deep look at Master Che.

"The Grand Master is just a lonely minister after all——"

The decree was passed to Jiaocheng. If Mo Qiandai dared to resist the decree, it would be seen that his ambition was growing, and it could be regarded as a test.

If Mo Qiandai accepts the order, then Mo Yonglin will rush to Yong Dynasty.

Shen Yuanbai was ordered to accompany him this time so that he could give him a secret order to get rid of Mo Yonglin on the spot after capturing Shen Yuanling.

Shen Yuanbai has no way out now. If he wants to stay in the Northern Kingdom, he should make a difference. Mo Yonglin will definitely not be able to stop him.

Mo Qiandai relied on his troops to respect himself, but as a result, his two sons were killed one after another at the hands of the Qiao family. He must be crazy.

When Mo Qiandai and Qiao Zhongguo engage in a confrontation and exhaust all their value, Wang Ting can take action to seize his military power and gather the remaining troops.

King Jinyu was convinced that Mo Qiandai did not dare to rebel because his reputation was not justified, and because Mo Qiandai's mother, daughter-in-law, and more than a hundred members of the Mo family were still in the royal capital.

If Mo Qiandai counterattacks, not only will his family members be killed, but Qiao Zhongguo will also be watching from behind. If he retreats, he will die!

As for Shen Yuanbai, he was present both times when Mo Qiandai lost his son. How could such a coincidence not make people think too much?

That old fox Mo Qiandai would never let Shen Yuanbai go. If he could kill Shen Yuanbai in Jiaocheng, King Jinyu would not have to take action himself.

In this way, this plan can be said to kill two birds with one stone!

Master Che saw the look on King Jinyu's face and knew that the plan was approved.

"Your Majesty, by then we will have Shen Yuanling in our hands and Wu Ding's 200,000-strong army will no longer have anything to fear. This battle can be considered to have a chance of winning."

"And after Mo Qiandai has experienced this, he should know that he will not be able to get out of the king's palm. When the time comes and all the Mo family members are given their lives, Mo Qiandai will have no choice but to be used by the king obediently and compete with Qiao Zhongguo to the end. "

"It's just... I feel a little sorry for the princess. After all, no matter how smart the prince is, he may not be able to defeat Mo Qiandai. If you want to come to this royal court... the prince may not be able to come back."

Grandmaster Che really couldn't bear the fact that the princess was kind to Beiguo, but now that the king has a queen, for the sake of Beiguo, for the king, and for the sake of the unborn child, it was a hidden danger to keep the prince.

King Jinyu lowered his eyes slightly when he heard this, hiding the strange color in his eyes, and just responded lightly: "Yes..."

Chapter 474: Make him a traitor and alienate everyone

King Jinyu's secret message back to Shen Yuanbai came faster than the explicit edict sent to Mo Qiandai.

Shen Yuan Baizi read the reply carefully. By the end of it, his lips were filled with sarcasm.

"My uncle is really evil. I just gave him a little push, and he came up with a plan to kill two birds with one stone. The emperor and his ministers were plotting against each other. No wonder he was beaten to the capital by Qiao Zhongguo."

"That's good. In this case, I don't have to bother looking for excuses to see Qiao Jiaojiao..."

In the afternoon, Shen Yuanbai was invited by Mo Qiandai. It turned out that the order from King Jinyu had arrived, and he was asked to accept it together.

Shen Yuanbai knew the contents of the imperial edict well, but when he entered Mo Qiandai's tent, his face was full of "confusion".

Mo Qiandai and Shen Yuanbai were kneeling side by side, while Mo Yonglin was kneeling behind them.

As the content of the decree was read out, Mo Qiandai could still keep his expression calm, but Mo Yonglin's face turned dark and he was full of dissatisfaction.

He suddenly raised his eyes and stared at Shen Yuanbai, almost wanting to spit out fire.

The king issued this urgent order and also named him and Shen Yuanbai to go deep into the tiger's den together. If there was no handwriting by Shen Yuanbai, he would never believe it!

Shen Yuanbai killed his younger brother, and now he wants to kill him!

After reciting the imperial edict, the visitor lowered his eyes and looked at Mo Qiandai, "General Mo, please accept the edict."

Mo Qiandai's eyes were dark and he raised his hand to accept the imperial edict without saying a word.

The messengers came and went in a hurry, and soon only the Mo family father and son and Shen Yuanbai were left in the tent.

"Your Majesty, why don't you, a rich man, want to take risks?"

Mo Qiandai turned to look at Shen Yuanbai, with a smile on his face but a cold look in his eyes.

Shen Yuanbai's face was full of "surprise" and he said "worriedly": "I didn't expect that my uncle would issue this order, but now I have no idea at all."

"This must be Qiao Zhongguo's trick. Isn't he asking you to commit suicide? General Mo, what do you think we should do?"

Mo Yonglin saw this from the side and wanted to hit Shen Yuanbai's face with his fist.

This thief is still acting coy!

Mo Qiandai put his right hand behind his back and pressed lightly on Mo Yonglin.

He said softly: "The general did not expect this. At this time, the Qiao family's northbound team has not reached the halfway point. I would like to ask the prince, General Mo, to consider it carefully."

Shen Yuanbai nodded hurriedly when he heard this, "I have just arrived, so General Mo has the final say in everything."

As soon as Shen Yuanbai left, Mo Yonglin lost his composure. He lowered his voice and shouted angrily:

"Father, Shen Yuanbai wants to put his son to death! And Your Majesty, what do you mean by this!"

Mo Qiandai's face was gloomy, and his fists clenched.

"Those idiots who only know how to enjoy themselves in the royal city are stabbing us in the back! Are they sure that I, Mo Qiandai, dare not rebel?"

When Mo Yonglin heard this, he was filled with anger, but had no words to reply.

A few days ago, he even persuaded his father to seize that position, but it was easy to say it, but to actually do it, he had to prepare in every possible way and take every step.

The biggest problem now is that all the more than 100 members of his Mo family are in the royal capital and are being closely monitored at all times. If there is any trouble, they must be protected first no matter what.

After all, Mo Qiandai was a courageous person. After being shocked and angry, he quickly regained his composure.

He slowly sat back down and said in a cold voice: "Yong Lin, are you confident that you can kidnap Shen Yuanling and let Shen Yuanbai be buried in Yongdi?"

Mo Yonglin's expression condensed upon hearing this, and he was about to speak, but Mo Qiandai continued:

"Don't answer hastily. Dad has lost your brother, and now you are the only son. If you are not completely sure, Dad would rather you stay back and act half-heartedly, and then come back safely."

When Mo Yonglin heard this, he didn't understand his father's good intentions. His face darkened and he calmed down completely.

"Dad, my son wants to wait until the spies return the information about Shen Yuanling and his party before making a decision."

Mo Qiandai finally looked pleased after hearing this.

"That's how it should be, don't worry, let dad think about it carefully..."

————

Wuding City.

The smoke from the "corpse burning" in the north of the city never stops day and night, and can be seen clearly even across the Wuding River.

In fact, thanks to the day and night efforts of the doctors, the number of people who die from the epidemic every day in the city has been greatly reduced.

The smoke now was specially ordered by Qiao Zhongguo to confuse Mo Qiandai.

The situation of the soldiers was better than that of the people in Wuding. This was due to military doctor Cong Xiangsheng's timely measures to isolate the infected people in batches.

However, the disease has not been eliminated and the prescription has not been completely perfected, so it is still not appropriate for the army in the city to mobilize to join the war in the short term.

At this time, Qiao Zhongguo and Ren Chong were sitting in the big tent.

The news that Qiao Tianjing was traveling north with Shen Yuanling had arrived. At this time, Ren Chong's face was full of worry.

"Old Qiao, although this is a plan, is it too risky? I only brought two to three hundred people along the way. If Beiguo decides to attack in a sneak attack, their lives may be in danger!"

After hearing this, Qiao Zhongguo repeatedly assured, "Old Ren, the Holy Spirit is so thoughtful, how could he leave any loopholes and put Prince Ling in danger? They must have made complete preparations."

After four months of sharing weal and woe, Qiao Zhongguo and Ren Chong had already become close to each other, and now even their titles were much more intimate and casual.

Ren Chong heard this but still couldn't feel at ease, "There is no complete preparation in this world. Prince Ling is young after all. This... alas..."

Qiao Zhongguo had no way of having a showdown with Ren Chong, so he just comforted him, and then simply changed the subject and talked about the situation in Wuding.

"Old Ren, if Mo Qiandai is interested in Prince Ling, he will definitely take action in order to contain us and to find out the reality of Wu Ding's army."

"Next, let's just use our tactics to let the soldiers in Jiaocheng see Mo Qiandai's true face, and make him a traitor!"

General Ren was indeed an experienced general. Hearing this, he gathered his thoughts and discussed the details with Qiao Zhongguo.

Northbound procession.

In order to "cover people's eyes" along the way, Qiao Tianjing asked the team to change their identities from time to time. They used to be a merchant team, but now they have become a bodyguard bureau.

There were no more than thirty people accompanying him, and the rest were stationed near or far away, forming an encircling force to protect the group in the middle.

Qiao Tianjing, Jiaojiao and Xiaosi always rode in the same carriage.

This journey is not going fast. Since you are using yourself as bait, you must give your opponent some time to "react".

At this time, in the carriage, Jiaojiao was handing the "rebound talisman" to Xiao Si, and carefully explained the mystery behind it.

Xiao Si's mouth opened slightly when he heard this, and he finally understood what kind of power Di Zaiying was defeated by.

"Xiaosi, take it easy, you are a target this time." Jiaojiao said with a smile.

Xiao Si took the rebound talisman with great care, put it carefully into her arms, and nodded repeatedly.

Qiao Tianjing opened the corner of the car curtain and looked out. He knew clearly that there must be countless pairs of eyes staring at them at this moment.

Xiaosi raised his head, saw Qiao Tianjing's solemn expression, and expressed his worries.

"Sister Qiao, Shen Yuanbai is not someone who just waits to die. Since he wants to see you, I have a hunch that he will come soon."

Hearing this, Jiaojiao suppressed the smile on her face and nodded slightly.

Yes, she also had a hunch that she and Shen Yuanbai would meet again soon.

What will his gift be?

Jiaojiao already had some vague guesses in her mind, and now she was waiting for Shen Yuanbai to reveal the answer!

Chapter 475 No one is allowed to leave

Detailed information about the northbound team finally reached Mo Qiandai and Mo Yongsheng.

Mo Yongsheng was surprised when he heard that there were only 300 escorts accompanying him.

"so little?"

Logically speaking, when a prince of a country travels to the crisis-ridden northern border, a thousand escorts are considered a small number.

The spy nodded respectfully, "General, Major General, and my subordinates have been following them day and night for three days. They have not found any other forces lurking in the dark. However, those guards who enforce orders and prohibitions are undoubtedly elite."

Mo Yongsheng frowned and looked at his father, "Dad, no matter what, three hundred people are too few. Could it be that Qiao Zhongguo left some backup for his son?"

Mo Qiandai's eyebrows were darkened, and he was also doubtful.

At this time, the spy quickly added: "Not only that, there is also a female doll in the team, who is inseparable from Qiao Tianjing. She should be Qiao Zhongguo's young daughter."

"What?"

Mo Yongsheng suddenly raised his voice when he heard this, with a look of disbelief on his face, but he quickly reacted and said angrily:

"Dad, this is definitely Qiao Zhongguo provoking us!"

The war in the north is about to begin, and the epidemic has not been eliminated. Qiao Zhongguo actually asked Qiao Tianjing to bring his young daughter. What is this?

Are you sure they don't dare to take action with such a naked provocation?

Compared to Mo Yongsheng's anger, Mo Qiandai frowned and murmured: "Is Qiao Zhongguo using his own daughter to provoke the general?"

Mo Qiandai had always looked up to Qiao Zhongguo in every possible way to avoid underestimating the enemy and causing him to think poorly, but he really couldn't figure out what purpose Qiao Zhongguo had in bringing his young daughter from the capital.

Could it be that he randomly found a female doll to be his scapegoat?

"Dad, since it is true that Qiao Tianjing and his party only brought three hundred people with them, then my son should go there."

"If we can capture Qiao Tianjing and the female doll together, it will be of great benefit to us whether it is to contain Qiao Zhongguo or in front of the flag sacrifice formation. We can also avenge our little brother!"

At this point, Mo Yongsheng had already foreseen the scene of Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Jiaojiao being exposed on the city wall, and he felt impatient in his heart.

Mo Qiandai pondered for a long time and finally nodded slowly.

The imperial edict has been accepted, and Yong Lin is going to go there just to show off, but he must give some instructions.

After the spies went down, Mo Qiandai said, "Yong Lin, your Majesty's move may be harmful to your life, so you must act separately from King Beigui."

"Once you notice something strange, don't hesitate and retreat quickly. This trip will be in vain. With dad at your back, the king will not be able to hold you accountable!"

"As for King Beigui, you don't have to worry. Dad will arrange people in the team and try to keep him in the Yong Dynasty forever!"

Seeing that his father had already planned this for him, Mo Yonglin felt sour and bitter in his heart. He repeatedly promised: "Dad, my son will never rush into anything greedy for success, and he will definitely come back safely!"

He can't let his father suffer anymore from the pain of a white-haired man sending a black-haired man...

Mo Qiandai nodded with relief, and then said in a deep voice: "Please invite King Beigui to come over. This matter should be done sooner rather than later..."

————

Wuding City.

Qiao Diyi is reporting information to Qiao Zhongguo.

"Dad, Uncle Qiao has received the order and will let Mo Qiandai's spies come in whenever they can. Uncle Thirteen has led the troops and is waiting for his son to go."

Qiao Zhongguo's face showed deep meaning when he heard this. When his eyes fell on Qiao Diyi, there was emotion in his eyes.

Four months is really not a long time, but the second kid really seems to be a different person.

I used to think that the second son had a temperament similar to his, but now it seems that it was Lao Da who taught me step by step, and his behavior style looks more and more like Lao Da!

"Second brother, I leave this matter entirely to you. You must do a great job and don't live up to Lao Da's expectations of you."

Qiao Zhongguo raised his hand and patted Qiao Diyi's shoulder and said warmly.

Qiao Diyi nodded heavily, his eyes firm.

"Dad, don't worry, my son already knows it!"

When Qiao Zhongguo saw this, he raised the corner of his mouth and suddenly kicked him.

"Go, go, go! You even let your kid put it on! Get out of here!"

Qiao Diyi covered his legs and said "Ouch", and his aura suddenly collapsed. However, he did not dare to talk back to his father, so he could only mutter and go out.

Qiao Zhongguo waited until Qiao Diyi's back was out of sight, and then he cursed "you bastard" in a low voice, but his words were full of love and satisfaction.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the bookcase, where there was still a letter sent by Qiao Tianjing a few days ago.

The smile on Qiao Zhongguo's face faded slightly.

Boss and Jiaojiao also have a tough battle to fight, and Shen Yuanbai...should also go.

The fate of everyone has now become a blur. When will the clouds clear and the sun shines? It all depends on individual efforts and choices!

————

Two days later.

Mo Qiandai summoned his lieutenant, ordered his troops secretly, and passed down a secret order.

That night, two thousand people divided into two groups and walked in the dark upstream of Wuding City.

Qiao Bo has been guarding the upper reaches with his elite troops for more than four months. During this period, no soldiers from Jiaocheng came to harass them. Under the calm conditions, everyone was "lazy".

The night fell, and it was still very cold in the north in April. A fire was lit, and everyone sat around in twos and threes, talking and laughing, "unprepared."

On the Jiaocheng side, the captain leading the team was named Xiang Wenqiu. When he saw that the other party was lazily here, he couldn't help but sneer.

After investigating, the ten centurions gathered around him.

"Boss, I've seen it. There are only three or four hundred people, not enough to cause any danger!"

Xiang Wenqiu nodded when he heard this and led everyone to hibernate patiently.

It wasn't until he was deeply exposed, most of the Yong soldiers on the opposite side had fallen asleep, and the taxi soldiers on guard were yawning, that Xiang Wenqiu gave the order in a stern voice:

"The general's order is for us to rush to Wuding City to find out what's going on. Since it's a surprise attack, we can't let the news out, surround them, and fight quickly!"

All the centurions nodded.

The next moment, the order was given and the rope was thrown away.

The Jiaocheng soldiers were "caught off guard" when they appeared. The night watch soldiers saw the figure in a daze and immediately shouted in panic: "The enemy is attacking!"

Chaos broke out in the birch forest, and the sound of fighting broke through the night sky and spread far away.

At the same time, more than a thousand people several miles away saw the bright fire here, and immediately crossed the river quietly and in the dark, heading south quickly.

They were led by Mo Yonglin and Shen Yuanbai to capture Shen Yuanling's elite troops.

In the birch forest here, Qiao Bo stood up from his tent, a sharp light flashing between his brows.

finally come!

According to the Second Young Master's instructions, the troops stationed upstream had already withdrawn and only about 300 people were left. Seeing the Northern Army coming in force, Qiao Bo exclaimed while holding the big knife and cutting off the back:

"Retreat! Retreat! The Northern Army is attacking. Go back and bring in reinforcements!"

Where could Xiang Wenqiu allow Yong's soldiers to escape? He shouted at his subordinates: "Surround them all! No one is allowed to leave!"

"yes!"

The Jiaocheng soldiers raised their swords and pressed them down. Seeing Yong's soldiers panicking, they couldn't help but feel overjoyed and were about to start a killing spree.

Suddenly, a dense number of figures stood up in the darkness ahead, and someone helped the fleeing Yong soldiers.

When Xiang Wenqiu saw this scene from a distance, his heart skipped a beat and his expression changed drastically!

At this time, someone rushed out of the darkness, shouting: "Surround everyone! No one is allowed to leave!"

His voice was clear and he didn't sound very old.

Qiao Bo held the sword wielded by Xiang Wenqiu and grinned when he heard this.

Hey, the second young master is so insulting, what he says are other people's words!

Chapter 476: Open your eyes and take a look

The person coming is none other than Qiao Diyi!

After coming out of Qiao Zhongguo's tent that day, Qiao Diyi carefully washed his body, smoked medicine, and then rode all the way to the upper reaches of the Wuding River.

Qiao Shisan had already received the order and transferred two thousand troops from Beiding. After meeting up with Qiao Diyi, they lurked in the birch forest and waited.

After waiting for a full day and night, the person I was looking forward to finally arrived!

Xiang Wenqiu realized that he had been fooled and immediately shouted to retreat. However, thousands of people had already crossed the river. At this time, the lone army went deep and was surrounded by Qiao Diyi's people in the blink of an eye.

"Disarm without killing!" Qiao Diyi shouted loudly.

The Northern Army gathered together and had already run out of ideas. At this time, they all looked at Xiang Wenqiu.

Xiang Wenqiu stood with a sword in hand and sneered when he heard this: "The two countries have been fighting for a long time. How can they surrender their weapons and not kill?"

"Today we fell into a treacherous plot, and I'm afraid I won't be able to return alive. Brothers, for the sake of our country, the people, and the general's trust, we won't lose if we kill one tonight, and we will gain if we kill two!"

They have been stationed in Jiaocheng for many years, and these thousand people have been following Xiang Wenqiu. Xiang Wenqiu is a brave and righteous man who is very popular among the people.

Upon hearing this, the Northern troops under his command exchanged glances and raised their voices solemnly: "Follow the commander to the death!"

When Qiao Diyi saw this, he immediately raised his eyebrows. He thought that most of the Northern Army members were greedy for life and afraid of death, but he didn't expect that the people in front of him were a little bloody!

Seeing that the Northern Army was ready to move, Qiao Diyi also sneered.

"It's righteous to serve the country and the people, but how can it be trusted by the general? It's ridiculous and pathetic!"

Xiang Wenqiu's expression did not change when he heard this, "Yong thief, why bother talking so much? General Mo is the hero of the country, and we are proud to follow General Mo!"

While Xiang Wenqiu was dealing with Qiao Diyi, he looked around vaguely, trying to find a glimmer of hope.

Thousands of people under his command have been with him for several years, and they are all as close as brothers. If possible, he would not hesitate to die just to protect his brothers and evacuate!

Qiao Diyi also knew that the person in front of him was a tough guy. He changed his mind and said calmly:

"I can let you go, but not until three days later."

As soon as these words came out, the Northern Army looked at each other, and even Xiang Wenqiu frowned.

What does this person mean?

"Mo Qiandai sent you here to explore the reality of Wu Ding, right? Come and go at a fast pace, three days is almost enough."

Xiang Wenqiu was not surprised to see Qiao Diyi reveal his own purpose, but now he couldn't figure out Qiao Diyi's intention at all.

Qiao Diyi continued: "I am Qiao Diyi, the son of General Qiao Zhongguo. I have the final say here. I will release you to wait for your return to the country in three days. I will do what I say!"

When Xiang Wenqiu and the Northern Army heard Qiao Zhongguo's name, their expressions changed instantly.

And Xiang Wenqiu knew about Qiao Diyi, because it was said that Marshal Mo Yongsheng was captured by Qiao Diyi and died in Wuding City!

There were murmurs in the Northern Army, and people were panicking. Xiang Wenqiu knew that if he fought at this time, he would definitely be defeated, so he couldn't help shouting angrily:

"Qiao Diyi, what do you mean?"

Qiao Diyi raised his lips slightly when he heard this, just because he was afraid you wouldn't ask!

"In three days, even if I let you return north, you will not be able to return to Jiaocheng."

"Because Mo Qiandai has already ambushed his men on the way back. As long as he asks for information about Wuding, he will kill you on the spot!"

The Beijun's expression changed drastically when he heard this. Xiang Wenqiu had already yelled and cursed: "How dare you talk nonsense!"

Qiao Diyi raised the corner of his mouth. Although there was a smile on his face, his voice became colder.

"Mo Qiandai lost his conscience and released the source of the epidemic into the Wuding River, harming our Wuding compatriots. Now that the epidemic is raging, when you come to explore the truth and confront me in Wuding, who knows whether you will be infected by the epidemic? "

Xiang Wenqiu immediately retorted after hearing this, "How could we not have known about this before we set off? We should be careful during this trip. It is just a test. A bow and arrow are enough!"

When Qiao Diyi heard the words, his tone rose slightly and his lips were sarcastic.

"As a captain of thousands, you have the lives of a thousand brothers in your hands, so you are so naive? No matter how careful you are, the epidemic is invisible, who knows whether you can avoid it?"

"Mo Qiandai is so ruthless that he doesn't want to take any risks, so you will be abandoned from the moment you receive the order!"

Seeing that Xiang Wenqiu wanted to refute, Qiao Diyi waved his hand.

"You don't have to argue with me here. I will let you go back in three days. Just wait and see. Mo Qiandai will definitely send someone to meet you halfway, but he will not dare to contact you. Once you tell the situation in Wuding, you will definitely Shot to death!"

"Open your eyes and see how the heroes of the country you follow and admire treat human lives as nothing but trash and abandon soldiers as if they were old shoes!"

Having said this, Qiao Diyi glanced at Xiang Wenqiu again and said meaningfully:

"As a captain, you should be careful. After all, these people are just following orders, but they still have parents and relatives waiting for them at home——"

"Watch them. If someone breaks out, shoot to death!"

Qiao Diyi said this last sentence to the Yong soldiers around him.

At this point, Qiao Di Yishi turned around and left, while the Northern Army behind him already showed fear on their faces, all looking towards Xiang Wenqiu.

Xiang Wenqiu lowered his eyebrows, clenched his fists, and had a look of struggle on his face.

————

Two days later, Jiaojiao and her party arrived at Ganzhou, the last state before the northern border.

Jiaojiao opened the car curtain and looked out, her face filled with wonder.

Ganzhou is dotted with steep mountains, and the canyons it passes through are all of magnificent color. To put it more poetically, it is "as bright as a rosy cloud and as bright as a rosy cloud."

This is a beautiful scenery that Jiaojiao has never experienced in her previous life.

But behind the beautiful scenery, there is a shocking crisis.

The convoy was walking in the canyon, with towering cliffs on both sides. The left and right sides were narrow, the way forward was unknown, and the way back was winding. It was a good place for an ambush and a sneak attack.

Qiao Jiajun, who was accompanying them, was already tense and alert at all times.

After walking for most of the day, seeing nightfall and still not leaving the canyon, Qiao Tianjing raised the curtain and gave the order.

"The front is more open. Stop and rest. We will start again tomorrow."

Qiao Tianjing walked out of the carriage with Jiaojiao in his arms, and Xiaosi stood close beside him. The three of them looked up and around at the same time, already having a premonition.

On the other side, Mo Yonglin, Shen Yuanbai and his party ran around the official road day and night, and finally arrived at Ganzhou Canyon.

"Your Majesty, Shen Yuanling and his entourage must be among them at this moment. How about you and I attack from both sides and catch them off guard?"

Mo Yonglin had been running for two days, but he still showed no signs of fatigue on his face. Even now, his eyes were shining with excitement.

Shen Yuanbai raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brow. He seemed a little depressed and said feebly: "Everything will be decided by the Major General's arrangement."

Mo Yonglin was not polite, and immediately divided the men and horses into two, and said in a deep voice: "If the prince feels tired, hold the road ahead, and eventually lead people to outflank him from behind!"

Seeing that Shen Yuanbai did not refuse, Mo Yonglin waved back, and before turning to leave, he suddenly glanced at a captain behind Shen Yuanbai in a very vague way.

"My lord, be careful!"

Mo Yonglin cupped his hands and walked away.

Shen Yuanbai watched the group of people leave, the tired look on his brows quietly dissipated, he glanced at the commander beside him calmly, and raised his lips lightly.

"Let's go, let's go into the valley too."

Shen Yuanbai strode forward, with a hint of interest uncontrollably in his eyes.

Qiao Jiaojiao, we will meet soon...

Chapter 477 Idiot who judges people by their appearance

Beside the fire, Qiao Tianjing was waiting quietly with Jiaojiao in his arms. Xiaosi was sitting aside, his eyes falling on the jumping flames, his expression full of solemnity.

Soon, a black figure jumped towards this side quickly.

Qiao Tianjing and Xiaosi turned their heads to look at the same time. When they saw the person coming, they immediately stood up.

That was Qiao Qi, one of the famous scouts in the Qiao family army. He followed Qiao Zhong in the Northern Expedition and made great achievements.

"Uncle Qi, how are you?" Qiao Tianjing stepped forward to greet him and asked in a deep voice.

Qiao Qi looked cold and said quickly: "There are people coming. At a rough look, there should be about five hundred people. They all have calm auras and quick steps. They are undoubtedly elite soldiers."

"The leader seems to be no more than 30 years old. With everyone surrounding him, he should have a high status."

As soon as Qiao Qi finished speaking, another person came running in the opposite direction, it was Qiao Twenty-nine.

Qiao Twenty-nine is still young and is the disciple brought out by Qiao Qi. At this time, his steps are a little hasty, which shows that he is still not ready.

"Master! Prince! There are about five hundred people coming from the front, and the leader is Shen Yuanbai!"

As soon as Qiao Nianjiu landed on the ground, he hurriedly spoke out.

When Qiao Qi saw Qiao Twenty-nine's fussing, she gave him a stern look, which scared Qiao Twenty-nine and stood up straight in an instant.

After hearing this, Shen Yuanling turned to look at Qiao Tianjing and said in a deep voice: "Brother Qiao, as expected, it seems we can start moving."

Qiao Tianjing nodded slightly, turned to Qiao Qi and said, "Uncle Qi, let everyone disperse as I told you before!"

There was hesitation on Qiao Qi's face when he heard this, but he remembered the military order like a mountain and nodded anyway.

"Your Majesty, Master, please be careful!"

Qiao Qi turned around and waved to everyone, and everyone stood up instantly, then exchanged glances, and then turned around and ran into the night one by one.

Soon, only a few clusters of burning fires were left on the spot, along with Qiao Tianjing, Jiaojiao and Shen Yuanling.

At this time, Jiaojiao finally no longer had to pretend, and immediately said: "Okay, the hide-and-seek begins!"

The topography of the Ganzhou Canyon is complex, and it extends in all directions. If you keep walking along the Grand Canyon, you will eventually be able to get out. However, once you stray into a branch road and it is night, you will immediately become a headless fly.

Qiao Tianjing deliberately calculated the time to get here, which has profound meaning.

He and Xiaosi had their little sister's amulet, so they were confident. However, there were three hundred elite soldiers accompanying them to take risks as bait, so they couldn't ignore their lives.

Therefore, he led everyone into the canyons of Ganzhou, and ordered them to be broken into pieces when the enemy arrived. At this time, the enemy was visible and we were hidden, and it was the best time to harvest!

The enemy thought that he was outnumbered, but he didn't expect that he would dare to disperse all the guards, leaving no one beside him.

When the enemy comes after them, if they meet on a narrow road, both he and Xiao Si will have martial arts to accompany them, and with the little sister's magical power, they will be fine.

The above is the plan that Qiao Tianjing made early.

The order he gave to Qiao Jiajun and the guards from the beginning was to put themselves first, then assess the situation and inflict heavy damage on the enemy.

Qiao Qi didn't know Jiaojiao was special, so she was still hesitant just now. Fortunately, everyone followed the rules and didn't say anything about Qiao Tianjing.

"Let's go."

Qiao Tianjing hugged Jiaojiao, and without hesitation, he and Shen Yuanling walked into a nearby branch and disappeared into the night.

————

Mo Yonglin was full of eagerness. On the one hand, he wanted to capture Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Jiaojiao to avenge his younger brother. On the other hand, he wanted to capture Shen Yuanling and make a great contribution.

Therefore, although the five hundred elite soldiers he led took a detour, they still arrived at the foothold of the northbound team before Shen Yuanbai.

Looking at the fires and luggage in groups in front of him, Mo Yonglin raised his head and looked around with gloomy eyebrows.

Guard Lin Zhou saw this and whispered: "Major General, they must have noticed our arrival and hid in the bypass in advance."

Mo Yonglin nodded coldly. After all, it was Qiao Zhongguo's eldest son who led the team. Mo Yonglin had no doubt that Qiao Zhongguo would leave his best scouts to Qiao Tianjing.

At this time, Lin Zhou continued: "Young General, even if the other party hides in the bypass, they will still have people to protect the prince, and there will definitely be no less. I think they will still be very conspicuous."

Mo Yonglin nodded in approval. Seeing that Shen Yuanbai didn't appear for a long time, he couldn't help but snorted, "You weakling can't walk even after two days of traveling!"

"Let's go ahead and be careful of the other side ambushing us secretly. Once we find Shen Yuanling and Qiao Tianjing, report them immediately and we will capture them alive!"

"Yes!" everyone responded.

Mo Yonglin waved his hand, and the Northern troops behind him ran into the night in twos and threes.

Mo Yonglin looked around, finally found the nearest branch, and walked up.

Upon seeing this, Lin Zhou hurriedly walked ahead and said respectfully: "Young General, my subordinates should explore the way first."

He and the other ten guards had received the general's death order and were determined to protect the young general's safe return to the country.

Mo Yonglin did not refuse, nodded, and followed Lin Zhou into the bypass.

About half a quarter of an hour later, Shen Yuanbai finally arrived with his people.

He glanced at the whole place and immediately guessed everything about the situation. However, others didn't know Jiaojiao's abilities, but he knew it well.

It seems that a silent killing is going on in the darkness at this moment...

Oh, Mo Yonglin is blessed——

With his thoughts at this point, Shen Yuanbai ordered without hesitation to let everyone behind him enter the bypass.

On the one hand, it completely messed up the situation, and on the other hand... it could be regarded as giving Qiao Tianjing more heads.

The people behind him dispersed after hearing the order, but the captain led five people to stick to Shen Yuanbai's side.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates have been ordered by the general to protect you personally. Wherever you go, my subordinates will go."

Shen Yuanbai hummed slightly, without comment.

The next moment he walked directly to the largest fire and sat down.

When the captain saw this, he exchanged glances with the five people around him. At this moment, apart from them, there was only King Beigui in the Grand Canyon...

"Your Majesty, you are tired from traveling, would you like some water?"

The captain stepped forward step by step, and the other five people surrounded him, their eyes faintly showing a fierce look.

Shen Yuanbai didn't respond. He lowered his head and suddenly saw an inconspicuous sign next to the fire. It looked like... an arrow?

Shen Yuanbai's thoughts changed slightly and he suddenly raised his lips.

They knew he was coming, and they were kind enough to leave him clues. Are they sure he won't side with the North?

A water bag was handed to him, Shen Yuanbai raised his hand to take it carelessly, but a dagger suddenly stabbed out from under the water bag, and the five people behind him attacked at the same time!

Shen Yuanbai sneered, raised his foot and kicked away the fire in front of him, causing the sparks to scatter instantly.

The captain instinctively raised his hand to shield his eyes. Shen Yuanbai had already raised his left hand, and the dagger was as sharp as clay and instantly cut the captain's throat!

The five people behind him did not expect that Shen Yuanbai had such skill, and were startled. Shen Yuanbai had already abandoned the dagger, and instantly pulled out the soft sword from his waist with his left hand. In a few back and forth, the five people were killed.

Looking at the corpses around him, Shen Yuanbai lowered his hands to wipe the blood stains on the sword on them, then wrapped it back around his waist, leaned over to pick up the dagger and sneered.

After all, they are just a bunch of idiots who judge people by their appearance——

He raised his foot and crushed the arrow on the ground away, then stepped over the captain's body and walked towards the direction pointed by the arrow.

Chapter 478 Unexpected!

Jiaojiao and the other three were hibernating between a narrow cliff. Not far away, the Northern Army walked by from time to time. They were all well-trained and did not speak.

Jiaojiao originally hoped to know who the leader was through the mouth of the Beijun Army, but now she has failed.

[Shen Yuanbai should be coming, right? I don't know if he can see the arrow I left, but I'm looking forward to his big gift! 】

Jiaojiao muttered something in her heart, and suddenly another Northern Army member passed by directly in front of her.

Xiao Si squeezed his hand and stared at the person in the dark, feeling a sense of excitement that could not be concealed throughout his body.

It's just that he has a sense of proportion and remains unswerving in order to cooperate with Qiao Tianjing's plan.

At this time, another person came over in a hurry, and a low voice sounded from behind:

"Third brother, what are you in a hurry for? Be careful of ambush!"

The person called "Lao San" had already started to unbutton his crotch, and said quickly: "I need to urinate urgently, I can't hold it in!"

He hurriedly unbuttoned his pants, and just as he was raising his head to release, he suddenly met a pair of dark eyes in the darkness.

He opened his mouth in fright, but before he could make a sound, his throat was cut instantly.

Qiao Tianjing behind him saw this and hurriedly covered Jiaojiao's eyes.

The other person waited for a while and saw that there was still no movement, so he couldn't help but ask: "Lao San, are you okay?"

No response was heard in the dark night.

The man was very vigilant. When he saw this, his expression suddenly changed, and he immediately raised his voice: "Who is it?"

The shouts of surprise quickly attracted people nearby, and in an instant, more than a dozen figures gathered here.

Shen Yuanling frowned when he saw this, turned around and said decisively: "Brother Qiao, I'm here to lure them away. There is a rebound charm, so don't worry about me!"

Jiaojiao was about to stop her when she heard the words, but when she raised her head and met Shen Yuanling's bright eyes, she finally swallowed the words that came to her mouth.

Xiaosi seemed to be holding a breath in his heart, thinking that he had wanted to go out for a long time...

As her thoughts flowed, Jiaojiao raised her hand and landed on Shen Yuanling's arm. Golden light flashed. Just as she was about to give instructions, Shen Yuanling saw the figure approaching in the distance and ran out.

"Sister Qiao, feel at ease!"

The sound fades away like a gentle breeze.

The sudden appearance attracted everyone's attention, and people exclaimed one after another: "Here!"

Soon, the noise faded away, and the surroundings fell into silence again.

Jiaojiao quickly closed her eyes, and a vivid picture instantly appeared in her mind.

She used the "immersive" talisman on Xiao Si. As long as Xiao Si was not too far away, she could see everything around Xiao Si.

She originally wanted to tell Xiaosi just now, in order to prevent Xiaosi from any uncontrollable danger, and also to facilitate their rendezvous later.

Unexpectedly, before she could speak, Xiao Si had already hurried out.

[Had I known this, when I used the "Immersive Talisman" just now, I just said hello to Xiao Si with my heart. 】

Now, in order to protect herself, Jiaojiao has become accustomed to keeping her mind empty and thinking about nothing when using the talisman.

[Forget it, that's it, wait for Xiaosi——]

When Jiaojiao's mind reached this point, she suddenly stopped.

Because she saw in her mind that Xiaosi turned around, raised the knife and killed the two Northern soldiers in the dark.

She was a little stunned.

Because before that, her impression of Xiaosi was still a crying child...

Qiao Tianjing heard Jiaojiao talk about the "immersive talisman", and when he saw Jiaojiao's voice suddenly stopped, he immediately had a guess in his mind.

Xiaosi didn't know that the younger sister had used the talisman on him. He must have been in a place where the younger sister "couldn't see", so the younger sister wouldn't be able to hide his nature.

It seems that my little sister may be surprised tonight...

Thinking of this, Qiao Tianjing raised his lips slightly.

That's fine.

In case the little sister is "deceived" by Xiaosi's appearance, his father told him that Xiaosi is not simple at all...

Jiaojiao was indeed shocked.

Xiaosi is still small and has a natural advantage in the narrow and dark canyon. Jiaojiao even thinks that Xiaosi may not even need the rebound charm.

Um.......

So separated, so uncomfortable.

————

Shen Yuanling walked quickly, as if he had endless strength. He smelled the smell of blood, not only did he not have the slightest fear, but he was excited.

He was indeed holding back a breath of anger, which reached its peak when Master and Brother Qiao rushed to the north.

Now that he was killing the Northern Thief in the dark night, he realized very clearly that compared to living a comfortable and stable life in the capital, he longed for the excitement and fighting like this today!

More and more people were chasing behind him. Shen Yuanling thought that Jiaojiao and the others were safe, and then he used Qinggong to no longer face the enemy head-on, but took advantage of the night to hide around.

He did not lose his mind in Ruyi's fight. The trump card Jiaojiao gave him was the best he could use.

Qiao Jiajun, who was ambushing in secret, also noticed the commotion here. Seeing Shen Yuanling being chased, they took action one after another.

In this way, after crossing three or four canyons in succession, Shen Yuanling finally got rid of the pursuers behind him.

The shouts of killing gradually subsided, and the Northern Army lost its target again.

Shen Yuanling lurked in the dark night, and when he looked around again, he found that he had lost his way.

"It doesn't matter. Brother Qiao will definitely take good care of Sister Qiao. In this case, I will simply intercept and kill the northern thieves like those Qiao family soldiers!"

With this in mind, Shen Yuanling raised his knife and waited quietly.

He just took a breath, and suddenly there was the sound of very light footsteps in his ears.

With a thought in his mind, he listened to the sound to identify his position, and when the footsteps were approaching, he immediately drew his sword!

Keng——

The sound of swords clashing sounded, and Shen Yuanling thought to himself: I have met a master!

He suddenly turned his head to look, and was suddenly stunned.

Opposite him, the person who came was also in a trance for a moment.

When Jiaojiao in the distance saw this, she suddenly raised her hand to cover her mouth, fearing that she would scream.

【Shen Yuanbai! 】

[Xiaosi and Shen Yuanbai met! 】

Qiao Tianjing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows meaningfully upon hearing this. This development was indeed something that even he had not expected.

"Second brother?"

Shen Yuanling murmured, and his eyes became clear in an instant, and his expression became cold and distant again.

"Little Four."

Shen Yuanbai also came to his senses. The moment the two looked at each other, it was hard to tell who had a more complicated mood.

Under the dark night, the two stood opposite each other, neither of them taking back their swords.

After all, Shen Yuanling is several years younger. Even though he has grown much taller in the past two years, he is still much shorter than Shen Yuanbai.

He raised his head slightly, and at this moment, he actually saw a look of deep emotion on Shen Yuanbai's face.

"Second brother...heh, I haven't heard this title for a long time. It really feels like a lifetime ago..."

Shen Yuanbai spoke first, with a smile on his lips and a voice full of ridicule.

Shen Yuanling's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this, and he didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly said softly:

"After all, we are half-brothers. Even if we become enemies now and meet again after a long separation, I still deserve to call you second brother."

Shen Yuanbai raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and the next moment his eyes darkened, and he re-examined Shen Yuanling in front of him.

interesting.

Is this still...his young and ignorant fourth brother?

Chapter 479 Brothers? Enemy?

"Brother Huang worked hard to prove that I am not my biological biological child, but now you say that you and I have the same father and mother?"

Shen Yuanbai looked at Shen Yuanling with interest. He was suddenly curious about how far the fourth brother who almost drowned in Yuhua Lake could grow.

Under the night, Shen Yuanling's eyebrows revealed a calm and calm look that was completely inconsistent with his age.

Shen Yuanbai's eyes moved slightly when he saw this, and he became more and more curious.

At this time, Shen Yuanling raised his head and looked at Shen Yuanbai, and said in a deep voice: "Times have changed, and now my brother has firmly sat on the throne and cannot be shaken. There is no need to hide some things."

"I may not have been sure before, but since I learned that Concubine Yu was still plotting against my mother seven years after her death, it is really not a wise move to leave a false life experience for my second brother."

When Shen Yuanbai heard this, he raised his eyebrows. This matter was really beyond his expectation.

The matter of returning to Xiyuan must not be hidden, but he always believed that given the love the emperor brother and the empress dowager had for Xiaosi, Xiaosi should not let Xiaosi know about this matter no matter what.

"You already know your origin?"

Shen Yuanling nodded, "I know a thing or two by peeling off the cocoon."

"The folk of the North have long had the method of reincarnation by red thread. My father had never had such thoughts before, but seven years after Concubine Yu's death, she suddenly became paranoid. If you say that this is not one of Concubine Yu's tricks, I don't believe it. "

Shen Yuanbai's mentality is very subtle now. Now that everything has been said, he admits it frankly.

"The mother-in-law has no plans left behind, and this is indeed one of her handiwork."

"It's just that the mother concubine may not have thought that the Queen Mother would give birth to you because of this. After all, this incident was really humiliating to the Queen Mother. She must have made a lot of determination to keep you back then."

Shen Yuanbai spoke calmly, and after finishing speaking, he glanced at Shen Yuanling.

Shen Yuanling's heart suddenly felt sour when he heard this, and his thoughts were almost interrupted.

This matter was his weakness, or in other words, he always felt indebted to love, and he always felt guilty towards his mother.

But when he had a showdown with Shen Yuanbai, he had already built up a high level of defense, so after several mental fluctuations, he still brought his attention back.

When Shen Yuanbai mentioned the Queen Mother, he was actually deliberately testing her. Now that he saw that Shen Yuanling did not lose his mind because of this, he finally gave him a high look in his heart.

Sure enough, times have changed, and even Xiaosi has become so deep-minded...

When Shen Yuanling raised his head again, there was a different meaning in his eyes.

He lowered his voice and said quietly: "Second brother, everyone thinks that Concubine Jade is doing this to separate the father and mother, but is there a possibility that she really wants to be reincarnated and come back?"

"After all, the number 'seven' has always had an extraordinary meaning to the deceased, hasn't it..."

The wind at the end of April blew through the canyon, making high and low whining sounds. The canyon wall in the dark night was like a colossal creature watching eagerly, silently watching everything that happened here.

When Jiaojiao heard this, she shivered for no reason, and the hair on her back grew.

The "Immersive Talisman" was placed on Shen Yuanling, so Jiaojiao used Shen Yuanling as a reference to observe the surroundings, and she could not see Shen Yuanling's expression.

The speculation about Yu Liu was spat out by him in a low voice. Jiao Jiao even felt that it was a bit unlike Xiao Si's voice...

From Xiaosi's perspective, Jiaojiao saw Shen Yuanbai, who looked a little stunned. This time, he was silent for a long time.

"My mother-in-law... will not miss this world."

Shen Yuanbai finally spoke, his tone was light, as if lingering with some unspeakable emotion.

The atmosphere was a little tense. At this time, Shen Yuanling slowly took back the knife in his hand and chuckled with self-deprecation:

"Second brother, I can't tell for a moment who is more miserable, your birth or mine...but I am luckier than my second brother."

He was lucky to have a mother and brother who loved him from the beginning.

When Shen Yuanbai saw this, he also put away his soft sword. He lowered his eyes at Shen Yuanling and said lightly:

"I think you and I have both wished that we had never been born in this world."

This time, it was Shen Yuanling's turn to be silent.

After a long while, he said softly, "My knot has been resolved."

Shen Yuanbai glanced at him, and it was only at this moment that he saw the shadow of his younger fourth brother on the person in front of him.

But in a daze, he seemed to see his old self in Xiao Si again.

He is precocious and outstanding, but his mind is deep, sinking and struggling.

"You know...it's more than that."

Shen Yuanbai suddenly spoke meaningfully.

He felt that with the Emperor's brother and the Queen Mother around, the pain of his life experience should not make Xiaosi so complicated.

Shen Yuanling slowly raised his head after hearing this. He hesitated for a moment and suddenly said, "Second brother, are you trying to clear up my doubts?"

The two are brothers and enemies. The grudges of the previous generation ran between them, and the brothers also fought to the death.

At this time, it is extremely delicate for the two of them to stand together and talk peacefully.

Shen Yuanbai raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Just tell me, maybe I can get the answer from you."

Shen Yuanling was not the only one who was confused.

When Shen Yuanling heard this, he took a deep breath. It was impossible for him to let down his guard against Shen Yuanbai. He always held the "Rebound Talisman" tightly in his sleeve, but as Shen Yuanbai said, he also wanted an answer.

"A lot of things happened in Nanli, right?"

"Obviously before this, you and the Qiao family were already in a fight to the death. How come you and the Qiao family were able to talk calmly after returning from Nanli?"

"I know that you are smart, second brother. You want to see Sister Qiao by name - you must want to see Jiaojiao because you discovered something special about Jiaojiao. But after the showdown, what is the reason that makes you and Jiaojiao become non-enemies?" What about the delicate relationship between friends?"

When Shen Yuanbai heard this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"Since you are curious, why don't you ask Qiao Jiaojiao?"

Shen Yuanling pondered for a few breaths, and then said calmly: "Jiaojiao never told me the inside story. I guess she thought it would be better for me not to know about this matter."

Shen Yuanbai chuckled when he heard this, "You believe her so much. In this case, you still want to ask?"

Shen Yuanling chose to remain silent on this question, and Shen Yuanbai did not keep him waiting for too long.

His eyes were heavy and he said meaningfully: "There are many people in this world who will never look back without hitting the wall."

"Xiao Si, maybe you are destined to die on your fourth birthday."

This sentence was neither a provocation nor a mockery. Shen Yuanbai simply stated what he believed to be the facts.

Shen Yuanling raised his head when he heard this. He didn't argue, and even showed an expression on his face.

"I know." Shen Yuanling spoke in a deep voice.

Shen Yuanbai's eyes flickered, and he said with great interest: "You already know? How did you know it?"

Chapter 480 Live clearly

Qiao Tianjing hugged Jiaojiao and walked against the wall in the darkness. They were trying to meet Shen Yuanling and meet Shen Yuanbai again.

Jiaojiao kept her eyes closed, and when she saw Shen Yuanbai and Xiao Si talking about this, she suddenly felt like the situation was running wild.

At this time, Shen Yuanling's voice had already spoken:

"Actually, there are many clues. I just didn't dare to think about it in detail before, but the second brother's words just now have confirmed my guess."

On his birthday, Brother Qiao and Sister Qiao appeared in time, pulling him back from the brink of death.

Sometimes when he was sitting by Yuhua Lake and thinking about the shock of that day, he would have a ridiculous suspicion. Did Sister Qiao and the others already know that he would die in the lake?

Then he saw Sister Qiao's supernatural power many times and watched her save many people. Later, he heard his father murmuring in his sleep several times, saying that he drowned in Yuhua Lake.

Father also mentioned many people in his dream, and everyone's fate was tragic. But looking back now, there are traces of those tragedies, but it was all because of the changes in Sister Qiao.

Shen Yuanling's answer was not detailed. Shen Yuanbai heard the defensiveness in his words, but did not pay attention to it.

There was a hidden expectation in his heart, and he tilted his head and asked, "Since you already have the answer, what else do you want to ask?"

Shen Yuanling looked solemn, took a deep breath, and then expressed the deepest question hidden in his heart.

"I don't understand. If I am destined to die on my fourth birthday, where does this 'destiny' come from?"

"Why do I have to die young? I can't imagine how sad my mother and brother will be after I drown."

"Second brother, I know that you are the final winner. I heard it in my father's murmurs in his sleep. But now that you are frustrated every step of the way until you are completely defeated, don't you ever have doubts in your heart?"

"Or have you already gotten the answer from Jiaojiao?"

Shen Yuanling's voice gradually became louder, but was quickly suppressed by reason.

This problem has actually troubled him for a long time, and he has peeled it off time and time again, but in the end the questions left behind have become bigger and more unsolvable.

Sometimes he would tell himself to cherish the present moment, everything has changed, and there is no point in tracing the past and the elusive reasons.

But every time he remembered that he had been inexplicably destined to die young, he couldn't help but feel unwilling to do so.

Shen Yuanbai stood opposite, and when he saw Shen Yuanling's struggling and painful expression, the smile at the corner of his mouth slowly widened.

He finally knew the expression on Qiao Jiaojiao's face that day when he sat across from him and looked at him.

I have to say that to a certain extent, Xiaosi and he are really similar...

And now, he wants to pass the warning that Qiao Jiaojiao gave him to Xiaosi intact.

"Xiaosi, some answers are not something you can bear."

When Jiaojiao in the distance heard this, she instantly recalled her conversation with Shen Yuanbai in the pavilion in Nanli, and now she had a very bad feeling in her heart.

She was not only worried about whether Xiaosi could bear the truth, but also the answer came from the mouth of the "male protagonist", would it really be okay?

She was extremely anxious, but the canyons were extending in all directions, making it impossible to see the specific location of Xiaosi.

At this time, Shen Yuanling's voice had already sounded, "No matter how unbearable the answer is, I want to live a clear life!"

When Shen Yuanbai heard this, the smile on his lips became wider and wider, and there was an indescribable madness in his eyebrows.

"Then try to see if these words can come out of my mouth."

"Xiaosi, listen carefully, this world is actually just-"

boom--

The thunder was deafening, startling everyone in the canyon.

Jiaojiao raised her head suddenly, her heart suddenly jumped into her throat!

[This Shen Yuanbai is really crazy. He doesn't care about anything. He has no means to save his life. He is seeking his own destruction! 】

[But Shen Yuanbai is Tiandao's biological son after all. Tiandao may not do anything to him, but the person who hears the truth will definitely die! 】

[If Xiaosi fails to use the rebound charm in time, it will be all over! 】

At this moment, Jiaojiao didn't care whether there were pursuers from the Northern Kingdom around or whether her position would be exposed. She hurriedly raised her voice and raised her voice.

However, Shen Yuanbai, who was opposite Xiao Si, moved faster.

The moment he heard the thunder, a look of madness appeared on Shen Yuanbai's face, as if he was fearless and risked everything!

"This world is actually just a book, Xiaosi! You and I are just words drawn by a few strokes!"

Shen Yuanbai suddenly raised his voice and spoke very quickly, as if he was afraid of being interrupted.

After hearing the voice, Shen Yuanling was confused for a moment, and suddenly took a step back with shock on his face.

"Use the talisman, Xiaosi——"

Jiaojiao's voice came from far away, and then there was a roar, and lightning rushed down in the dark night, shaking the ground under your feet!

Everyone looked up in confusion and saw a beam of purple lightning falling from the sky, splitting the night violently and lighting up the entire canyon in an instant!

Shen Yuanbai suddenly raised his hand and used his inner strength to push Shen Yuanling away who was still in shock.

He raised his head and did not dodge under the power of Zidian!

The situation has reached this point. Even if he does nothing later, with the strength of the Yong Dynasty, he will eventually annex the Northern Kingdom. It may take longer, and perhaps more people will die on the battlefield.

No matter what, the long-cherished wish of the mother-in-law can come true in the end, but now, he is destroying himself and living towards death!

However, just when Shen Yuanbai was determined to wait for the thunder to come, Zidian ran towards Shen Yuanling a few steps away with a clear purpose!

At this moment, Shen Yuanbai seemed to hear the roar of thunder and lightning, scolding and laughing at him for overestimating his abilities.

Shen Yuanbai's pupils shrank suddenly, and the purple lightning struck Shen Yuanling's body impartially!

The sound was deafening, and a wave of heat flowed out of Shen Yuanbai's ears. His whole body trembled slightly, and the next moment he walked towards Shen Yuanling without hesitation.

At this moment, Qiao Tianjing finally arrived with Jiaojiao in his arms!

"Xiao Si!!!"

Jiaojiao screamed in shock, her face turned pale!

Shen Yuanbai paused, and the moment he turned around after hearing the sound, purple lightning exploded behind him!

"Don't even come here!"

Shen Yuanling's loud shouts rang out from the purple light, and then he put his hands on the ground and backed away.

The narrow canyon wall was hit by random purple lightning, gravel rolled down, and chaos became a mess.

The moment Jiaojiao saw the purple lightning rebounding, her tense mind suddenly relaxed, and her eyes instantly became wet.

She quickly looked up at the sky. There were dark clouds, but the thunder and lightning had indeed stopped.

Shen Yuanbai turned back. When he saw Xiao Si trying his best to stay away from him, and when he saw the gravel rolling down on Xiao Si, his expression was extremely complicated.

When everything returned to calm, Jiaojiao hurriedly looked at Qiao Tianjing with an anxious look on her face.

Qiao Tianjing glanced at the canyon wall above for a moment before letting Jiaojiao down.

Jiaojiao's footsteps were eager and she ran in a hurry. When she passed Shen Yuanbai, she never slowed down.

"Little Four! Little Four!"

Jiaojiao quickly called out, and soon a gray figure pushed away the rubble on his body and rushed toward Jiaojiao in a panic.

"Sister Qiao, be careful of falling rocks!"

Shen Yuanling staggered forward, half-knelt in front of Jiaojiao, hugged her, and firmly blocked Jiaojiao's head with his arms.
