Chapter 149: Wuquxing

Chapter 149

Qin Zhao replied, "Let Huo Jun replace Huo Chengjin and go to the battlefield."

Huo Xiaosu immediately widened his eyes and said, "No!

Where are you putting my son? How can he handle himself?"

Qin Zhao sneered and said, "I knew it, you stubborn old man won't agree.

In that case, tomorrow I will inform the emperor about Huo Chengjin's hand being severed.

Guess how the emperor will handle this?

Once a person becomes useless, they will be discarded like worn-out shoes. You should understand this logic.

And soon, everyone will know that he has become a cripple.

He used to enjoy glory, but from now on, he will suffer greatly!"

Huo Xiaosu furrowed his brows and asked, "Your Highness, must you be so forceful?"

"Yes, not only will I force you, but I will also cut off your retreat.

Either you become my accomplice or you die!"

Huo Xiaosu trembled, staggering backward, muttering to himself, "I should never have let Chengjin compete with Huo Jun!

He was never as good as her, never..."

Qin Zhao thought to herself, Huo Xiaosu finally admits Huo Jun's excellence, but it's too late.

Huo Xiaosu stopped and said, "Fine, I agree!"

"That's right, General Huo is a reasonable person."

Huo Xiaosu asked, "Your Highness, how do you plan to arrange them?"

"Huo Chengjin and Huo Jun will accompany me to the northwest border.

Huo Chengjin's military rank will remain the same, but the responsibility of leading troops in battle will be given to Huo Jun.

For convenience, both of them will wear masks."

"What if the soldiers discover that Huo Jun is impersonating someone? What should we do then?"

Qin Zhao said, "That's why Huo Chengjin will accompany her.

When Huo Jun needs to prove her identity, Huo Chengjin will step forward."

Huo Xiaosu nodded and said, "I hope Your Highness will take care of my son."

Qin Zhao replied, "As long as he obeys, everything will be fine."

Huo Xiaosu squeezed through the crowd and seemed to whisper something in Huo Chengjin's ear. After hearing it, Huo Chengjin shouted in a frenzy, "No! I won't go! You might as well kill me!" for new novels

Everyone was frightened and stepped aside, while Qin Zhao walked over to Huo Chengjin and said, "This is the consequence of being a loser. You should have realized it long ago."

Huo Chengjin's eyes turned bloodshot as he glared at Qin Zhao, as if he wanted his eyeballs to pop out!

He questioned, "Zhao Yang, why are you treating me like this?

Were all your previous affections for me fake?"

Qin Zhao lowered her gaze and met his eyes, saying, "There was once genuine affection, but you didn't cherish it.

From now on, you only deserve to be treated like this."

After Qin Zhao brought Huo Jun back to the mansion, he had her stay in the spare room of Mo Qianqiu's courtyard.

Mo Qianqiu would also go to the northwest border, and they would be working together in the future, so it was a good opportunity to get acquainted.

Qin Zhao went to the study and took out a box from a secret compartment.

He picked up "The Path to Healing" and "Lu Ban's Notes."

These two books were likely to be useful during the border conflicts.

To prevent loss or damage, Qin Zhao planned to transcribe the contents of the books.

There were still eight days until they reached the capital, which was enough time.

Knock! Knock!

Qin Zhao had just picked up the brush when he heard a knocking sound.

"Come in."

The person who entered was unexpectedly Yin Xuan!

Yin Xuan walked in front of Qin Zhao, stared at him for a while, and said, "I thought you would frequently come to bother me, but it has been several days without any action from you, so I decided to come myself."

Qin Zhao smiled and said, "You seem to have misunderstood me. I never do anything to force others."

502 couldn't help but complain, "Are there not enough people forcing others?"

Qin Zhao replied, "People often say one thing and do another. That's human nature."

502 responded, "Please don't generalize personal behavior to all of humanity!"

Upon hearing this, Yin Xuan scratched her head, feeling a bit embarrassed.

After regaining her composure, she asked, "Would Your Highness like to hear a story from me?"

Qin Zhao replied, "I would be interested to hear the details."

Yin Xuan began narrating, "I was born in the picturesque waterside region of Jiangnan, into a wealthy merchant family. My parents named me Du Yin Xuan with the hope that I would grow up to marry into a well-established family.

However, I had a deep passion for martial arts and spent my days covered in injuries.

In order to deter me from pursuing a rough path, my father beat me numerous times.

But no matter how hard he hit me, I never yielded!

Eventually, my father couldn't resist any longer and agreed to let me learn martial arts.

I fulfilled my wish and became a locally renowned martial arts expert.

When I turned sixteen, my father suddenly revealed a secret to me!

He said that our family belonged to the Wuqu Star Clan, and I was the representative of this generation's Wuqu Star!

This identity was a recognition of my abilities, and I was initially happy about it.

However, he also told me that my duty as Wuqu was to assist the Purple Forbidden Enclosure Star in ascending the throne!

I thought to myself, why should I be obligated to do such a thing? I have my own life.

Why should I sacrifice my life for the sake of others?!"

Confused, Qin Zhao asked, "If you wanted to stay away from the Purple Forbidden Enclosure Star, why did you come to the capital city? Why did you appear here?"
