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