C72 Achievement and Retreat

Qiao Liangjin frowned as he looked at the white skull on the back of his neck. His stomach began to churn inexplicably.

"Why are you so disgusting?"

"You already betrayed me, so I'll treat it as repayment if I disgust you. What's wrong?" Nan Li replied stubbornly.

Feeling that he was really disgusted with Qiao Liangjin, Nan Li took off the list on the bed and covered his head. He stepped on the spine and broke it. After tying up the bag, he threw it to Qiao Liangjin who was looking through everything.

Qiao Liangjin's eyes lit up. He placed a glittering gold command medallion into his pocket, and a few more letter-like items into his pocket. Only then did he nod his head in satisfaction, pick up the package on the ground and fly out of the military camp.

It was already chaotic outside, Qiao Liangjin and Nan Li also ran to the door along with the noisy crowd and jumped onto the tree.

Qiao Liangjin suddenly shouted, "Everyone! Everyone!"

The soldiers who were busy fighting the fire stopped and looked around, as if trying to find the source of the noise.

Qiao Liangjin's voice came from all directions and entered their ears, "Your commander-in-chief has already been killed. Why haven't you withdrawn your troops?"

With a "tut," the entire military camp was thrown into chaos.

Nan Li pulled on her sleeve and asked, "You're still not leaving? Aren't you afraid of being discovered later and turned into a sieve?"

Qiao Liangjin patted his chest and said with a smile, "No."

Just as he was about to leave, he heard a sharp shout from the girl behind the main camp: "South Li! I want to fight to the death with you. "

Qiao Liangjin smiled sinisterly and patted Nan Li's shoulder, saying: "Congratulations, you will have a woman who will follow you without leaving you in this life."

After he had finished speaking, he swept past Nan Li like a gust of wind.

As she was jumping up to the city gate, she shouted with her internal energy, "The Eastern Kingdom's commander, Ma Ji, has been killed by Qiao Ruo Ying!"

Qiao Liangjin jumped off the wall and heard the noise of people on the wall. Gradually, more and more torches lit up nearby.

She lightly passed through the short walls and passed through the alleyway. When she arrived at the entrance, she took off the mask on her face and shook her body, as if trying to get rid of the hostility on her body.

When she reached the door, she heard the voices of Qiao Ruo Ying and Ling Yu, and her heart was filled with joy. With a bag in one hand, he pushed open the door and entered.

Qiao Liangjin, who had a picturesque expression on his face, smiled and asked, "Why are you guys still here? Aren't you going to rest?"

Qiao Ruo Ying, who was arguing with Zi Yan about going out to look for Qiao Liangjin in the city, immediately laughed. She walked over and pulled Qiao Ruo Ying into her embrace with an unconcealable joy in her voice: "I heard that you went out and I was scared to death. "Thank goodness you're back."

Qiao Liangjin could only go around Qiao Ruo Ying's waist. He patted her back and comforted her, "I'm fine. Don't worry."

Nan Li's voice came from behind. "Greetings, Eldest Uncle."

Qiao Liangjin's hands, which had been patting her back, curled into fists.

Qiao Ruo Ying was in the midst of the joyous reunion with her sister when she heard someone call her uncle. She was stunned for a moment before raising her brows and looking over in the darkness.

Qiao Liangjin let go of Qiao Ruo Ying and stood beside her. He looked at Nan Li at the door and shook his head with a sigh. "Nan Li, can't you be more serious?"

Qiao Ruo Ying frowned and looked at Nan Li who was standing in the dark. She asked softly, "Who is that person?"

Qiao Liangjin waved his hand and whispered back, "It's just a passer-by, a passer-by."

Only then did she heave a sigh of relief.

Suddenly thinking of Ling Yu, Qiao Ruo Ying turned to Ling Yu who was standing behind her and said with an unfriendly tone, "I've already seen my sister. You can go back now."

Ling Yu nodded and walked out the door.

Qiao Liangjin saw that this girl was so obedient and wanted her to leave. He went up to stop her and smiled: "Miss Ling Yu saved my brother. She is my benefactor, you can't leave so easily."

Ling Yu stopped and turned her head to look at Qiao Ruo Ying with a troubled expression, as if she was waiting for him to speak.

Qiao Ruo Ying turned her head to the side and did not speak again.

Qiao Liangjin looked at the people in the yard and waved the bag in his hands, "There's good stuff here, it's like sharing it with everyone."

The little fox, Yu Sheng, squatted down on the stone table and pinched his nose. Unhappily, he said, "What good stuff can there be from the blood of such a large person?"

When Ma Ji's head was placed on the table, Qiao Ruoyin gasped as her mouth gaped open in surprise. Her little sister had left the city in the middle of the night to do such an earth-shattering thing?

Qiao Ruo Ying covered Ma Ji's head in the next second. He did not wish for his little sister to do such a dangerous action.

Qiao Liangjin was a woman with an exquisite heart. She knew what Qiao Ruoyin's actions meant. She gently pulled on Qiao Ruoyin's sleeve and smiled, "Brother, you've already returned, so you must bring back your missing days. If you return empty-handed, I don't know what kind of treatment you'll receive in this military camp."

Qiao Ruo Ying's heart ached as she looked at her sister's face. She shook her head and said, "No. If I let you take the risk, I would rather …"

Qiao Liangjin suddenly patted the back of his hand happily. His original smile suddenly changed to a serious face. He nodded and said: "Ok, I won't take any more risks in the future. I promise."

After settling everything down, Qiao Ruo Ying brought Ma Ji's corpse to the general's manor.

Qiao Liangjin had kept the spiritual jade and insisted on letting it sleep with him.

Ling Yu slightly declined and followed Qiao Liangjin to sleep.

The little fox was thrown by Qiao Liangjin onto an armchair not too far away. After thinking for a moment, he grabbed it and threw it outside the door.

Yu Sheng desperately pounded on the door, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Ling Yu looked at Qiao Liangjin in astonishment. She wanted to ask something, but she suddenly covered her mouth, smiled, and lay down.

Qiao Liangjin laid down on the bed and looked at Ling Yu's spirited eyes. His long eyelashes fluttered as he smiled and said: "You like my big brother?"

A red cloud appeared on Ling Yu's round face, but she nodded her head obediently.

Qiao Liangjin rubbed his nose and said, "Then will you come back to the Royal City with him?"

Ling Yu was silent for a while, then her expression slightly dimmed. She bitterly smiled and said, "I can't leave. I can't leave that place until twenty years later."

Qiao Liangjin was actually very curious about how the seven houses were arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper. However, she also knew that a gentleman shouldn't ask about things that others didn't want him to know.

"We have guarded at the bottom of this cliff for generations, and every single house has guarded for twenty years. It has already been a very long time, and we don't even know why we have to guard there. We only know that if one of the houses is destroyed, something big will happen."

Unexpectedly, this innocent girl actually told the story of the bottom of the cliff herself.

Qiao Liangjin's heart sank. Twenty years? Could Qiao Ruo Ying wait another twenty years? Or one day, would he accompany her at the bottom of the cliff?

She was lost in her thoughts for a long time. It was only when the chickens were crowing that she finally fell asleep.

Qiao Liangjin was ready to leave for the Prime Minister's residence, but when he arrived at the entrance, he saw the mighty general standing there, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

Qiao Liangjin dismounted from his horse and said, "Greetings General! Congratulations General! Last night, one of our men single-handedly charged into the enemy's camp and took down the Commander's head in one go."

The mighty general quickly went down the steps and walked to Qiao Liangjin's side. He smiled as he stroked his chin and helped Qiao Liangjin up. He looked at Qiao Liangjin with an extremely appreciative gaze, "Ruo Ying told me everything last night … If it's possible, this old man truly hopes that you can stay here. "

He suddenly felt that his outfit did not match his own actions, so he cupped his hands and said: "Thank you for your praise, Sir General. It's just that this lowly woman is not able to be a general in front of a battle formation. My daughter has a presumptuous request. "

When the mighty general heard that Qiao Liangjin had a request, let alone one, even if there were ten, he would gladly agree to it.

Qiao Liangjin continued: "Qiao Ruo Ying has lost all her martial arts and is no longer suitable to kill her enemies in front of the formation. I hope that General …"

The mighty general immediately understood and nodded his head, "Last night, I had already passed the military message to the imperial city. I have already written Ruo Ying down. Your brother will be able to return to the imperial city after the decree is passed down."

Qiao Liangjin nodded his head, then saluted General Wu after all. Then, he jumped onto his horse, raised his hand from the horse, and heavily clipped the horse's abdomen.

General Wu looked at Qiao Liangjin's back as he walked away and said in admiration: "With this woman, the Prime Minister's Mansion will definitely prosper."

Qiao Liangjin rode all the way to the Peach Blossom Forest outside the city. He stopped his horse, turned around and looked at Li Zhiru who was following him, and asked: "Are you sure you want to go back with me?"

At this moment, Li Zhiru's face was still covered by the cloth. He nodded firmly.

Qiao Liangjin laughed out loud. He raised the horsewhip into the air, and with a loud and clear whipping sound, he rushed towards the direction of the Royal City.

There were too many people and things that concerned her.

After passing through the Peach Blossom Forest, a figure suddenly appeared behind her. Nan Li's voice rang in her ears, "You're really stingy. You threw me away and ran off on your own."

Qiao Liangjin's body stiffened and he gave an embarrassed smile. He turned his head to look at the face of the unhappy Nan Li and suddenly rammed his head backwards. But before he could dodge, Qiao Liangjin's head rammed into his nose.

Qiao Liangjin instantly kicked his right leg backwards.

Nan Li suffered a loss. When Qiao Liangjin kicked out, he grabbed her slender ankle and asked with a smile, "Do you want to practice your yoga again?"

Qiao Liangjin rolled his eyes and repeated the same trick as before. He smashed the back of his head towards Nan Li who was behind him.

Nan Li quickly let go and used his palm to block the back of Qiao Liangjin's head. He smiled bitterly: "Why are you so angry? I'm just borrowing your horse for a ride. "

Saying so, he put his finger to his lips and let out a long whistle.

From not too far away, he heard the loud hiss of a horse and the sound of a horse's hooves. From Qiao Liangjin's left side, a pure black horse galloped over.

The horse had white fur all over its four hooves, and the rest of it was pure black without any other color.

Even Qiao Liangjin, who didn't know much about horses, couldn't help but exclaim.

Qiao Liangjin restrained himself from riding the horse while Nan Li placed his palms on the horse's back. He exerted a little strength and jumped from Qiao Liangjin's back onto his own horse. Patting his horse on the neck, Lang Sheng laughed. Is my Treading on Snow good-looking? "
