Chapter 161: Scrap Him

Chapter 161

“Even if I lose an arm, you are still not my match. Do not overestimate yourself!” Huo Chengjin said.

However, his words did not manage to stop Qi Yan Su Luo.

As soon as she got close to Huo Chengjin, she raised her dagger and suddenly stabbed towards him!

Huo Chengjin grabbed Qi Yan Su Luo's wrist to stop her from moving further.

He laughed. “I told you that you are not my match, but you did not believe me.”

Qi Yan Su Luo's face was icy cold. She immediately took over the dagger with her left hand and stabbed towards him again!

Huo Chengjin dodged several times.

Gradually, Qi Yan Su Luo seemed to be somewhat exhausted.

Huo Chengjin also relaxed his vigilance and played with Qi Yan Su Luo back and forth.

Unexpectedly, Qi Yan Su Luo found the right opportunity and suddenly exerted force!

Panic flashed across Huo Chengjin's eyes. Just as Qi Yan Su Luo was about to succeed, Huo Chengjin was kicked away by someone! Discover new chapters at novelhall.com

Qi Yan Su Luo's dagger missed.

She looked at the person who had saved Huo Chengjin in astonishment and asked, "Why did you save him?!"

The male lead was dead, the world collapsed, and Qin Zhao's efforts would be wasted. Of course she could not let the male lead die.

But she could not tell this reason to Qi Yan Su Luo.

Qin Zhao said, "I want to know what you and that person talked about.

Tell me, and I'll let you kill him."

Huo Chengjin was kicked and his side hurt badly, but when he thought that it was Zhaoyang who had saved him, his anger disappeared without a trace.

Hearing Qin Zhao’s words, he felt that she was just looking for an excuse to save him.

Qi Yan Su Luo had the same idea.

The content of the conversation with that person was not actually any undisclosed secret, but facing Qin Zhao at this moment, she did not want to say a single word.

She said, "Nothing to say. If you insist on protecting Huo Chengjin, you'd better keep an eye on him.

Otherwise, I will kill him if I get the chance!"

Qin Zhao waved her hand. “Don’t get me wrong. Huo Chengjin's life is no different from an ant's life to me.

I am more interested in your secret.

As long as you don't tell me, I will protect him for one day.

If you don't tell me for a year, I will protect him for a year."

Qin Zhao knew that what she was doing would surely arouse even more intense resistance from Qi Yan Su Luo.

But there was no other way. She had to find an excuse to ensure the male lead did not die.

After appeasing Huo Chengjin properly, Qin Zhao returned to the big tent. Qi Yan Su Luo was already asleep. Qin Zhao took off her outer clothes and lay down beside her, asking, “Are you asleep?”

“Yes.”

"..."

"Are you still angry?"

"No."

"Then hug me to sleep."

Qi Yan Su Luo turned over and hugged Qin Zhao so tightly that she seemed to want to squeeze her to death!

Qin Zhao didn't say anything. She thought: Let her squeeze for a while and she'll get tired.

Unexpectedly, Qi Yan Su Luo persisted all night long, resulting in bruises on Qin Zhao's arms when she got up the next morning!

Qin Zhao rubbed her arms and snuggled up to Qi Yan Su Luo, saying, “You secretly met with the barbarians behind my back. I took advantage of Huo Chengjin to anger you. We are even.”

Indeed, Qi Yan Su Luo was quite angry. Seeing Qin Zhao's face, she had the urge to punch someone. But hearing the even more irritating words coming out of her mouth, she somehow didn’t feel as angry anymore. She silently carried on with the task at hand, ignoring her.

Cong Han called from outside the tent, “Your Highness, the Chi Rong People have come to invade again!”

Qin Zhao said to Qi Yan Su Luo, “I’ll go out briefly and come back soon.”

Then she exited the tent and climbed up the city tower.

Huo Jun was already there before her.

A few people stood beside her — those she had selected from the army to replace Yuan Deyi, Zhou Mingzhi, Lin Kui and others.

Among them was Lieutenant Zhenwei, whom she had seen in Mobei Town!

Qin Zhao walked over. Huo Jun nodded at her.

Lieutenant Zhenwei said, “Princess, we meet again.”

Having just been promoted, he was still feeling somewhat smug. Considering his combat power, he believed he was indispensable in dealing with the Chi Rong People.

Therefore, his attitude towards Qin Zhao was not exactly respectful.

Qin Zhao looked at his knife scar and asked, “What is your name?”

Lieutenant Zhenwei replied, “Wang Yong.”

“You were originally stationed in Mobei Town. How did you get here?”

Huo Jun explained, “In response, it was I who asked the nearby garrisons to come to Yunzhong City, to gather our military strength for contingencies.”

Qin Zhao said, “I see. General Huo has great foresight. I look forward to what’s next.”

“Thank you, Your Highness.”

After the brief greeting, they turned their attention to Tu Ge below.

Tu Ge roared, “What are you still dawdling around up there for? Come down! Could it be that you’re going to evade again, you cowards?"
