On the second day after signing the contract with Nalan Rongxuan, Tuoba Hong received a "message" from the Battle King Manor. The "message" said that her sister Tuoba Yu was very sick, so she hurriedly went to the King Xuan Palace and took away King Xuan's precious doctor, before returning back to North Qi in a hurry.
This was also the result of an investigation, no one suspected the news, Tuoba Hong's little sister was lacking in talent and his body was weak, Tuoba Hong doted on her greatly, and it was said that once, in order to find medicine for his sister, he went into the depths of the Heaven Mountain, and he survived most of the time.
It had only been two days since he left, but he had already experienced the third wave of assassination. Tuoba Hong withdrew his blade, the blood that was splattered out drew an arc in the air, and the last assassin fell.
There were more killers in a wave, and their cultivation base was also higher. It was not as easy to deal with them as it was before.
"Continue on our way, increase our speed!" Tuoba Hong said expressionlessly as he mounted his horse. The killing intent around him had not dispersed.
Yue Luoxue was also riding on her horse, she was the only person who did not make a move, in here, she only needed to play the role of a doctor with a limited cultivation, and would need the protection of others.
The fine stallion galloped, Yue Luoxue could feel that something was amiss with Tuoba Hong, but she did not say anything. To be able to control his emotions in such a way, it might really be related to his sister. She immediately tightened her grip on the reins, and the horse under him became even faster.
Tuoba Hong did not bring many people with him, and adding that Yue Luoxue only had five attendants, it was precisely because of this that he was so anxious right now. After three more attempts, they had finally entered the North Qi Realm.
The scenery in front of their eyes changed. What entered their eyes was a vast grassland, as well as cattle and sheep that were like clouds on the plains. The Battle King Manor's reinforcements were already here, and it seemed as if they were much safer.
Tuoba Hong conversed with the leader for a while, and the tense expression on his face finally relaxed a bit. After that, he rode his horse to Yue Luoxue's side, and apologetically said: "Luoxue, thank you for your hard work."
Sometimes, they would not stop to rest for a day and a night. He and a few of his followers had all grown up on horses, so they could be considered used to it, but had only made Yue Luoxue suffer.
Yue Luoxue smiled sweetly: "Tuoba Hong, putting it this way, you are treating us as strangers. Putting aside the fact that you and Nalan Rongxuan are cooperating, we are still friends.
Tuoba Hong was startled. "How did you know?"
"From the looks of you, even when I knew that the North Qi Emperor intended to do harm to the Duke Palaces, I didn't show that kind of expression.
Tuoba Hong's heart felt warm, "That's right. Actually, before we met our third attempt, I already received a letter from the residence saying that Yu'er's condition had worsened due to the stimulation."
Yue Luoxue could tell from Tuoba Hong's tone of voice how much he cared about this little sister of her, and she said to Tuoba Hong seriously, "Tuoba Hong, I will definitely use every means at my disposal to cure her."
"It's good as long as you do your best. When mufei was pregnant with Yu-er, she heard the grievous news of her father's death in battle from the frontline. She was born prematurely in July, so Yu-er's body has always been weaker than the others. She can only be nurtured after so many years." A flash of ruthlessness flashed past Tuoba Hong's eyes.
In the past, his father hadn't died in battle. And the death of her grandfather, and even her great-grandfather … The loyalty of the War King's Manor, the royal family of North Qi, was all due to them letting down the War King's Manor first!
Yue Luoxue could probably guess what was going on. For the sake of the throne, which generation of people in the royal family did not have blood flowing?
Passing through the endless grassland, the silhouette of a city finally appeared in their line of sight. On the vast horizon, the black city was solemn and majestic, shocking everyone.
A thick and heavy city wall made of black stone, with mottled marks of vicissitudes, gave off a domineering aura under the vast sky. It was just like the people of North Qi, who were valiant and wild.
"This is the Flame City. It's different from the Flame Sun City. I'll show you around later." Tuoba Hong smiled lightly at Yue Luoxue, a look of satisfaction in his eyes. Since she followed him back, it means that he has a chance right?
Tuoba Hong was someone who kept his promises, but the alliance between him and Nalan Rongxuan did not contain any provisions regarding Yue Luoxue. People of North Qi had always been like this, and they were even more adamant on pursuing the woman they liked.
The city was bustling with noise and excitement. People came and went, and the clothes that people wore were more national in nature. There were many men in leather clothing, and the women's clothes were decorated with animal fur.
Yue Luoxue curiously looked around, the goods on the streets were all of the color of North Qi, there were many bow and arrow, from this, one could see that they were a martial arts race.
Even within the North Qi, Tuoba Hong's unique height and handsome face was quickly noticed by the crowd.
"Look, it's Crown Prince Hong!"
"Heir Hong is truly a tall and sturdy handsome man. Every time I see him, my face turns red and my heart beats erratically."
"Heir Hong, I like you!"
Suddenly, a bold confession broke the whispers of the crowd. Immediately, quite a few bold women expressed their love on the streets, and some bolder ones even threw things like wallets and handkerchiefs towards Tuoba Hong.
Initially, she only knew that North Qi people were straightforward and generous, she never thought that their feelings would be so bold and hot, and looking at Tuoba Hong who was looking straight ahead with a serious face, she immediately wanted to laugh.
Therefore, he could not help but mock him: "Hey, Tuoba Hong, why don't you take a look? I see that a few girls look pretty good."
Tuoba Hong originally did not have much of a reaction, but after thinking for a while, he suddenly lowered his head and said seriously: "If you were to throw me a black bag or something, I will definitely catch it."
Yue Luoxue was momentarily at a loss for words. Alright, Tuoba Hong won, so when they left the King Xuan Palace, it was not that she did not hear what Tuoba Hong had said, but she had chosen to pretend that she did not hear it.
Nalan Rongxuan was temperamental, and also black-hearted. Yue Luoxue was not stupid enough to think that he really had deep roots of feelings for her. As for Tuoba Hong, he was actually a serious and sincere child, but she was not in the mood.
Looking at Yue Luoxue's back, a hint of disappointment flashed past Tuoba Hong's eyes. She reached out to grab her collar, pointed in another direction and said: "The Battle King's Mansion is over here!"
"Brother Hong? "Why didn't you say anything when you came back? I'll make sure you go and pick you up." Just as Yue Luoxue turned around, she saw a man walking over with a smile on his face.
Yue Luoxue calmly sized him up. His figure was similar to Tuoba Hong, just that she was not as tall as Tuoba Hong. The lines on her face were distinct, and could be considered to be extremely handsome, but not as handsome as Tuoba Hong's heroic figure.
This person should be the crown prince of the North Qi. Tuoba, Tuoba Hong wanted to get the throne of the North Qi, and the biggest resistance they had was the emperor of the North Qi and the person in front of them, the crown prince.
"Crown Prince is being too courteous." Tuoba Hong's expression was indifferent, and did not have any of Tuoba's warmth.
Tuoba didn't seem to care at all, as if he had inadvertently looked at Yue Luoxue. When he saw the face of that character, a look of amazement flashed across his face, but he quickly covered it up. He smiled and said, "Brother Hong, this lady?"
He had long since received the news that Tuoba Hong had returned, so he naturally knew that he had brought a woman with him, but he never expected that the woman was actually this beautiful. It was just that the news that the woman was from the King Xuan Palace made him have to pay attention.
Tuoba Hong was a little displeased. When Tuoba looked at Yue Luoxue's gaze, he quietly pulled Yue Luoxue behind him and said: "Big Brother Crown Prince, this is the doctor that I found for Yu'er. I'm still worried about Yu'er, I'll go and reminisce with my royal brother another day."
Tuoba looked at Tuoba Hong's back and the corner of his mouth curled into a cold smile. It seemed like this oily cousin of his finally had a weakness. He really wanted to see the disciple of the Godly Doctor for himself.
Tuoba Hong had a cold face, but suddenly said: "Luoxue, from now on, you should avoid interacting with the crown prince.
Yue Luoxue could not help but laugh out loud. Seeing Tuoba Hong's puzzled face, she said, "I just thought it was funny, it seems like the Crown Prince prince I've met is not some good stuff."
Liu Chengfeng was like this, Tuoba was the same. He didn't know how the other seven countries' princes were, but Yue Luoxue was slightly looking forward to it.
Hearing that Yue Luoxue categorized Tuoba as "not good", Tuoba Hong's face also revealed a faint smile, and then she said: "Among the nine nations, the Crown Prince's reputation is best in Navy Tide Nation. It's said that from the civil and military officials to the common folk, all of them will praise him."
The Crown Prince of Navy Tide, Xia Yunfan, was also one of the Seven Young Masters of the Black Sieve Continent, Young Master Jun.
Tuoba Hong's praises were naturally not just simple praises. This famous crown prince who loved his people like his son had seized the initiative of the people. He would naturally become a great power on the road to unification in the future.
Just as he was speaking, Tuoba Hong stopped in his tracks and said: "Luoxue, we are home!"
Similarly black stone walls, a tall pitch-black door stood tall. On both sides of the door stood two majestic stone lions. Just this door alone gave off a majestic and murderous aura. It was truly worthy of being called the War King's Mansion!
Before Yue Luoxue could digest the ambiguous words, the black door opened, and a petite fiery red figure jumped out, pouncing towards Tuoba Hong.
A hint of nervousness flashed past Tuoba Hong's eyes. He walked to the door and extended his hand to catch the petite figure.
Then, Yue Luoxue heard a melodious and clear voice that sounded like silver bells ringing, "Big Brother, you're finally back!"
The girl that pounced into Tuoba Hong's embrace was Tuoba Hong's little sister, Tuoba Yu. Tuoba Hong reprimanded his: "Yu'er, your health is bad, why are you still so rash?"
Even Yue Luoxue felt that it was a little sour to say those words of reprimand, but there was not a single hint of reprimand in those words. Even with being pampered, Tuoba Hong, a great master, had such tender feelings for his little sister.
Once again, Yue Luoxue felt that her decision was not wrong. Although the Heartless King Clan lived in her heart, in her eyes, a person with emotions was more suitable to be an emperor than a heartless person.
"Yu'er misses brother so much!" Then, she raised her head from Tuoba Hong's embrace and cutely stuck her head out to look at Yue Luoxue.
Yue Luoxue blinked, the girl in front of him was just too beautiful. A oval shaped face the size of a palm, although it was sickly pale white, it could not hide the beauty of her face. A pair of eyes was actually a clear sky blue.
She only looked to be about ten years old, but Yue Luoxue knew that she was already twelve years old.
A pair of clear blue eyes blinked, and adorably asked: "You, are Sister Luoxue?"
