The mad concubine of ancient martial arts who traveled through time

Chapter 357 Another mystery
Qian Ao hastily drove Gale Wind back again and again, but he couldn't dodge in time, causing Gale Wind's front leg to be pulled out with a long bloody mouth.

The Turkic soldiers cheered instantly, Ruan Zhuqi felt a little distressed for Gaifeng, and Huang Xian's face became a little dignified.Qian Ao lightly stroked Jifeng's mane, and said coldly to Zhilei: "It seems that I underestimated you just now, you little bastard actually has another secret."

When Zhilei heard this, she thought it was Qian Ao who was praising herself, so she proudly said: "Of course! My second brother made this for me! Second brother is the best at making these things, so don't be careless! "

Zhilei was smugly showing off, but Qian Ao's face was gloomy, and before everyone saw the situation clearly, he drew his sword.Everyone was dumbfounded as Zhilei's mount fell to the ground after spitting out blood. Even Zhilei herself was thrown out heavily because she didn't have time to react.

"So fast! So ruthless!" Yu Fuchen couldn't help but exclaimed, this sword accurately severed the large blood vessel on the horse's neck.

Zhilei rolled on the ground a few times, staring at Qian Ao with wide eyes, she still couldn't understand why she was defeated?Qian Ao didn't even look at Zhi Lei, so he turned around and walked back, and said coldly: "Warning you, my mount is raised by her own hands. You can't be hurt!"

"A Su!" Ruan Zhuqi couldn't wait for Qian Ao to rush over, inspected it with a man and a horse, and said, "You shouldn't be so reckless! That woman obviously came prepared, there is a lot of bad water in her stomach! The next time they call for battle, let’s not fight, just go straight there, don’t waste time with them!”

"Xu'er, I'm fine." Qian Ao stroked Ruan Zhuqi's cheek lightly, smiled, and said, "Looking at Xu'er like this, I feel sorry for Gaifeng! Don't worry, Gaifeng is not an ordinary horse. A little injury, it's okay."

Hearing the words, Ji Feng immediately raised his horse's head high to show his bravery.Ruan Zhuqi angrily let this one go, boarded the chariot again, and said to Huang Xian: "Huang Shuai, the Turks want to play tricks to delay time, so Huang Shuai just let them do it?"

Huang Xian smiled faintly, squinted his eyes and looked at Turkic King Tuge who was a little panicked, waved his command flag, and shouted: "Soldiers! Turkic dogs have taken our Hengcheng and killed so many of us!" Brother, tell them all to come back today! Let me kill you!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Yu Fuchen and Qian Ao rushed over with their soldiers respectively.Qian Ao rushed towards Turkic King Tuge with a clear goal, while Yu Fuchen followed Huang Xian's intention and slowly outflanked him from the outside.

Ruan Zhuqi's eyes fell on Zhilei, the girl was really frightened, she was still sitting on the ground for a while.Seeing that Qian Ao's men and horses were about to run over her, Ruan Zhuqi was startled, and just as she was about to ask Beiming to rescue her, a black horse rushed out from the Turkic army and pulled Zhizhi away. Lei ran back.

The speed of the person coming was so fast that Ruan Zhuqi didn't even see his face clearly, but he just vaguely felt that this person should be a master of Turks.The clamor was overwhelming, and Ruan Zhuqi didn't want to think about it anymore, only to see the Turkic king fleeing with his men.

The direction of escape was really beyond Ruan Zhuqi's expectations, the Turkic king gave up the Hengcheng he had obtained without hesitation, and ran to his hometown in the desert.Qian Ao and the others took advantage of the victory and pursued, running faster and faster. In the end, Ruan Zhuqi's chariot couldn't catch up, so they could only watch the dust flying farther and farther under Hengcheng.

After the Turkic soldiers in Hengcheng had left, a few brave ordinary people opened the city gate and looked at Ruan Zhuqi curiously.The common people looked at Ruan Zhuqi and hundreds of Northern Zhou soldiers and whispered for a while before someone stood up and asked, "Is it someone from His Majesty who came to rescue us?"

Ruan Zhuqi's heart skipped a beat. Looking at these ragged people, she knew that the Turkic people exploited the people a lot these days. "Yes, this palace is the Eldest Princess Ruan Zhuqi, who has sealed His Majesty's will and came to recover Hengcheng! The Turkic soldiers have left, you are safe!"

The commoners were stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into tears and knelt on the ground, yelling like ghosts and wolves: "It's finally here! We thought His Majesty didn't want the people of Hengcheng anymore!"

"Don't talk nonsense! Your Majesty has no reason to abandon all the territory and people of the Northern Zhou Dynasty! Isn't this Palace here? Don't worry, His Majesty will make up for you for the hardships you have suffered!" Ruan Zhuqi comforted the hearts of the people with kindness and power.

The common people were very grateful, and while wiping their tears, they welcomed Ruan Zhuqi into Hengcheng.

Once in the city, Ruan Zhuqi understood better why the common people were so disturbed just now.As far as the eye can see, the city is devastated. It seems that Tuge destroyed the city before leaving.Good shops and houses are now completely blackened.Ruan Zhuqi was so angry that she secretly scolded Tuge countless times.

Ruan Zhuqi waited in the city not long before Huang Xian and the others returned dejectedly.Ruan Zhuqi thought for a while, and suddenly understood: Tuge knew yesterday that he would be defeated, so the route of defeat had already been planned, and he did not forget to make the people in the city suffer!
Qian Ao's complexion was not very good-looking, he said: "It was because I didn't expect it enough that they took the opportunity to escape. Xu'er, I..."

Does this mean an apology?Ruan Zhuqi shook her head quickly, and said, "I don't blame you! You don't have any experience in fighting Turks. What you do have is... all experience in fighting us. I'm really grateful for your help! "

Huang Xian sighed, and said: "My son-in-law was about to take the head of the Turkic king, but a boy who appeared out of nowhere blocked it and let the Turkic king run away. Taking advantage of the terrain, they let the Turkic king escape." We can't catch up!"

"Why can't you catch up with Fa?" Ruan Zhuqi frowned, thinking about what she saw after entering the city, she couldn't help getting angry.

"Returning to the princess, there is a grand canyon on the only way to the Turkic royal court. The valley is full of poplars that are immortal for thousands of years. Not to mention the appearance is terrifying. When the wind blows, there are strange sounds, like ghosts. Normal! We lost our way as soon as we entered, so we had to come out!" Yu Fuchen said with great regret.

"Poplar wood? Immortal for a thousand years?" Ruan Zhuqi had never heard of this.

"Poplar is unique to the desert. It looks ugly, but it can live for thousands of years. No one lived in the valley all the year round, so the poplar grew like this. The Turkic people easily passed through because they knew the terrain well. We can only..." Huang Xian didn't want to go on when he said this.

Ruan Zhuqi thought for a while, then snorted coldly, and said, "Can a few broken logs stop our iron cavalry? According to my palace's order, burn those logs that get in the way!"

burn!Huang Xian was startled, and thought that although the poplar was in the way, for Hengcheng, it also blocked a lot of wind and sand.Now that Ruan Zhuqi said decisively that she was going to burn it, she was so cruel and merciless, she really looked like Ruan Wenyong.

"But princess, although poplar wood is in the way, people in the desert, including people in Hengcheng, love this kind of wood very much. The poplar wood in the canyon can also resist some sandstorms in the desert for Hengcheng. If the princess really burns it, as long as it is I'm afraid it will do more harm than good!" Huang Xian thought for a while, and then tried to persuade him.

"So what's the matter? When I came out with orders, there is absolutely no reason to go back if the Turks are wronged! I want those people who do anything wrong to know that Northern Zhou and His Majesty will not allow them to bully casually!" Ruan Zhuqi's eyes radiated a ruthless light. , "If you hurt my soldiers and people in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, I will make them Turks unable to hold their heads up again!"

Huang Xian and Qian Ao's eyes were full of astonishment, Ruan Zhuqi had never seen such a person.Huang Xian originally thought that she was just a spoiled princess who was just a little more courageous than ordinary women, but now it seems that this woman is quite different!

"I'm taking care of anything! Shuai Huang will do as he pleases!" After Ruan Zhuqi finished speaking, she turned and left.

Qian Ao hesitated for a moment, then said to Huang Xian: "The princess has made up her mind, and she will definitely not change it. Marshal, don't provoke the princess' temper. If the princess loses her temper, Su is afraid that no one here can appease the princess. anger."

Huang Xian nodded, and said: "I will do as I do, but I never thought that Her Royal Highness the Princess would be so cruel. It seems that the Turkic King insulted my people in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which really angered the princess!"

Qian Ao's eyes were distracted for a while, and he murmured: "Maybe it's for His Majesty Yonghuang."

Huang Xian didn't hear clearly, and Qian Ao didn't give Huang Xian another chance to question, so he caught up with Ruan Zhuqi.Hongfeng's hands and feet are really nimble, and she cleaned up the courtyard that Ruan Zhuqi wanted in such a short period of time.Ruan Zhuqi simply brought all the things she needed, so she wouldn't be in a hurry in a place where there was nothing.

Ruan Zhuqi walked into the wing room, and the room was already lit with incense.As soon as he sat down, Qian Ao also followed in.Ruan Zhuqi poured two cups of tea, pointed to the chair, and said with a smile: "When I left the palace, I got good tea from my fourth uncle. I don't know how to taste it, it's just for quenching my thirst. If I want my fourth uncle to know, what should I do?" Gossip."

"How could Your Majesty be reluctant to part with these teas?" Qian Ao was also depressed, he had no interest in tea tasting at all.

Ruan Zhuqi smiled and said, "Fourth Uncle is good for everything. I will give everything I want. The only bad thing is that he likes to chatter. He will definitely say that if you drink too much tea, you can't sleep well at night. If you want me to drink less drink some."

Qian Ao was silent for a while, and asked: "The relationship between Xu'er and Emperor Yong seems to be closer than that of ordinary uncles and nephews."

"Yeah." Ruan Zhuqi didn't deny it, just took a small sip of tea, her eyes gradually became serious, and said, "I only have my fourth uncle in this world. He has protected me for half my life, and it's my turn to protect him." .Me and him are destined to depend on each other for life."

So when you came out to supervise the army, was it for Ruan Wenyong or to avoid Xuan Shidu?Qian Ao opened and closed his mouth slightly, but in the end he still didn't ask.

"So Asu, I need to win. I have to let others know that fourth uncle is not to be provoked casually!" Ruan Zhuqi looked at Qian Ao firmly.Qian Ao was stunned, nodded quickly, and said: "I know, I will help you, I will do my best to help you."
