Before Tuoba Xiao could say anything, another hail of arrows came.
Liu Qiaoer didn't know whether she should hide under the car with her head in her hands, or run with Tuoba Xiao.
At this moment, suddenly, Tuoba Xiao took out a flare from his arms.
The emerald green fireworks were released in the sky, which was very beautiful, but at this moment he had no intention of appreciating the fireworks. Tuoba Xiao jumped to the top of the carriage.
All these arrows had a target and attacked him.
This did give Liu Qiaoer some space.
"Go hide behind the tree." Tuoba Xiao said loudly to Liu Qiaoer while blocking the rain of arrows.
Liu Qiaoer held her breath, rolled on the ground, and quickly hid behind a big tree.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of a charge.
"Kill..."
The rain of arrows attacking Tuoba Xiao stopped, and the sound of charges came from not far away.
Tuoba Xiao also rushed over with a sword in hand.
The danger shifted from Liu Qiaoer to the edge of Mohe River, and she also saw Tuoba Xiao's men gradually gathering.
Kill all the assassins just now, leaving no one alive.
An hour later, Tuoba Xiao's body was covered in blood, and drops of blood were dripping from the sword.
He came up to Liu Qiaoer with a gloomy face, and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, now I have eliminated them all. Even if Tuoba Ling comes back to life, there is nothing he can do to save him."
It turned out that Tuoba Xiao used himself to lure Tuoba Ling's men to take revenge, set a trap, and killed all of Tuoba Ling's men and assassins.
Liu Qiaoer didn’t know what to say. Maybe history was wrong, or maybe she was wrong.
In short, with Tuoba Ling's death, the possibility of Northern Qiang becoming a vassal state is much smaller.
Is the world really going to start to fall into chaos
Tuoba Xiao looked around at the chaotic battlefield and suddenly waved his hand: "Go back, the delegation is in danger, we can't go to Da Zhou anymore, let's talk about it after the New Year."
I won’t go there now.
The marriage between Lu Yunzheng and Princess Mingxin has already begun, and even if Liu Qiaoer wanted to stop it, it was too late.
Tuoba Xiao carefully wiped the sword in his hand with the hem of his clothes, looked at Liu Qiaoer's disappointed expression, and chuckled.
He lifted Liu Qiao'er's chin with the tip of his sword: "Why, are you disappointed that you can't see your lover?"
Liu Qiaoer wanted to move, but the tip of the sword was too sharp and she didn't dare to move.
Looking up at Tuoba Xiao, with his beautiful face and fine hair, I actually felt an indescribable sense of brokenness.
"I have good news for you. Because General Zhenbei is not in good health, the wedding of Princess Mingxin and Lu Yunzheng has been delayed."
Liu Qiaoer's heart skipped a beat: "Impossible, the court has already sent a doctor to treat General Zhenbei. His health is very good. When I was here, he had already begun to get better."
Tuoba Xiao snorted coldly, wiped the remaining blood on the tip of the sword on Liu Qiaoer's shoulder twice, and finally put the sword away.
The men have packed up and are ready to set off.
The carriage was ready, and Tuoba Xiao bent down and picked up Liu Qiaoer.
"If you want to blame someone, blame your Great Zhou's Crown Prince. He wants to gain military power too much."
During the year and a half in Northern Qiang, some changes also took place in the Great Zhou.
The Third Prince led his troops to attack the capital, and the Crown Prince was defeated step by step. Now only the capital is left, like a trapped beast.
The prince wrote a letter to General Zhenbei, asking him to send troops for support.
General Zhenbei didn't know whether he didn't receive it or what happened, and he didn't respond for a long time.
The prince asked Zhao Ziyu for help again, but Zhao Ziyu did not respond at all.
The prince had no soldiers and only the garrison in the capital was struggling to hold on.
The New Year is coming soon, so the Third Prince and the Crown Prince temporarily cease fighting and start celebrating the New Year.
However, there was news that General Zhenbei was in a coma and critically ill.
Tuoba Xiao sat in the carriage, looking at the heavy snow along the way with a grim expression.
"If it weren't for the fact that the North Qiang was too cold and the food and grass were not in short supply, this would be the best time to march south to attack the Great Zhou. However, there is no rush."
Liu Qiaoer guessed that Tuoba Xiao wanted to wait for the death of General Zhenbei and for a new general to take over the Zhenbei Army. This would cause various conflicts and he would have enough time to lead his troops south.
For some reason, Tuoba Xiao didn't say anything to Liu Qiaoer, but when he saw Liu Qiaoer's clear and bright eyes, he realized that she knew everything.
Tuoba Xiao chuckled, moved closer to Liu Qiaoer, and gently scratched her face with his fingers: "Marry me, and you won't die. You are too smart, I can't bear to let you leave me."
When Liu Qiaoer saw Tuoba Xiao's crazy criticism, she decided to take whatever he said as the truth, not to refute or pay attention to him, and she wanted to find a chance to leave.
The delegation left, came back, and settled down at the post station.
After a fierce battle, the soldiers were injured or tired and took a good rest in the post station.
Tuoba Xiao also drank some wine, took a hot bath, and lay on the warm bed to rest.
Before going to bed, he smiled and glanced at Liu Qiaoer who was already asleep.
Finally, when he began to snore, Liu Qiaoer suddenly opened her eyes.
Covering her face with a towel, she lit a soothing incense stick she had made herself.
She quickly took off her outer women's clothes, put on a black soldier's uniform, tied her long hair on top of her head, and walked out of this door. She became a soldier under Tuoba Xiao.
It is the twelfth lunar month now. Liu Qiaoer would be crazy to go back to Mobei at this time.
There is a river between Mobei and Beiqiang, which is a natural barrier and she cannot cross it.
If she wanted to return to Mobei, she could only go back to the city, find a caravan, and follow them back.
However, at this time, the caravans of the Great Zhou had already gone back, and not many were left. Even if they stayed, they would not return to the Great Zhou in the winter.
The great hide in the city, Liu Qiaoer decided to hide among the common people. As long as she could hide until next spring, she would be free.
Unexpectedly, when she opened the door and was about to step out, she heard Tuoba Xiao's casual voice behind her.
"There's a snowstorm tonight. I advise you to stay here. Otherwise, I'll have to go to the snow to collect your body tomorrow."
The wind and snow were howling outside the window, and the temperature of minus thirty or forty degrees Celsius could easily take a life.
Liu Qiaoer had no space at the moment, and when she learned that Tuoba Xiao had woken up, she could only stay obediently.
She closed the door, looked at the calming incense she developed, smelled it, and found that it was indeed calming. How did Tuoba Xiao wake up
Liu Qiaoer looked at Tuoba Xiao, he still had his eyes closed, could it be that he was just talking in his sleep
She walked slowly to Tuoba Xiao's bed and gently moved closer.
Before she could see whether Tuoba Xiao was awake or asleep, he suddenly pulled her wrist hard and put his other hand on her waist.
Everything turned upside down and Liu Qiaoer was pressed into the bed by Tuoba Xiao.
"Go to sleep, don't talk, I'm sleepy."
Liu Qiao'er was angry and embarrassed. She wanted to get up, but Tuoba Xiao held her waist tightly.
She was so angry that her voice was shaking: "How did you know I went out?"
Tuoba Xiao placed Liu Qiaoer's head in his arms, changed his position and lay flat.
"The poison in your body will hurt my heart if you are even ten feet away from me."
Oh my god, this guy's behavior is really scary.
"Then why were you so far away from me when we were fighting this afternoon?"
Tuoba Xiao chuckled: "I can bear it."
