"What's with that expression?" Zhou Nuo couldn't help but ask when he saw Zhao Cheng smile.

Zhao Cheng closed his eyes, seemingly deep in thought, but at the same time said, "I saw that the person fighting Zhou Chuan was Chen Chong, which means these assassins are from the Southern Zhou."

Zhou Nuo didn't understand and asked, "And then?"

Zhao Cheng said, "The Southern Zhou people have made such a big commotion; they clearly intend to kill me. If they still have experts, they must have made a move!"

"Who could it be?"

"I don't know, but it certainly wasn't someone from Southern Zhou."

Zhao Cheng opened his eyes and said, "But since he hasn't made a move, he's definitely not an ally. He might even be someone who wants me dead, trying to stay out of it and use someone else to do his dirty work!"

"Then what's there to be happy about?!" Zhou Nuo exclaimed anxiously.

Zhao Cheng smiled and said, "Didn't you ask me to come up with a solution? I have one."

Zhao Cheng beckoned to Zhou Nuo with his finger.

Zhao Wu and Yu Beipiao were evenly matched, and Zhou Chuan and Chen Chong were locked in a fierce battle.

Three more soldiers were wounded, and they were seriously injured, but several Southern Zhou spies also fell.

Ten breaths later, the carriage door opened again, and Zhou Nuo slipped out like an eel, then quickly ran into the farmland.

The guards and the Southern Zhou spies were both stunned, not understanding what Zhou Nuo wanted to do.

But one thing is certain: she wasn't looking for a spot to shoot arrows from the shadows, otherwise she wouldn't have run into the open fields.

Realizing this, the Southern Zhou spies stopped sending men to pursue her. Seeing that there were only five soldiers left who could still fight, they wanted to wipe out the soldiers and attack the carriage in one fell swoop.

Zhou Nuo wasn't looking for a spot; instead, he ran towards the farmers watching the commotion in the distance, shouting as he ran, "The Southern Zhou people are killing people!! The Southern Zhou people have come to our Dajing to kill people!!"

"Everyone, grab your weapons!! Hoes, shovels, anything will do!!!"

Zhou Nuo not only shouted at the onlookers, but also at those further away: "The Southern Zhou people are going to kill and burn, destroying your crops! Everyone, pick up your weapons and protect yourselves!!!"

Before Zhou Nuo shouted, the onlookers thought it was a gang fight and were just there for the spectacle. Now, their expressions changed, and they gathered around the edge of the battlefield, eager to join the fray.

Seeing that Zhou Nuo's plan had worked, Zhao Cheng also slipped out of the carriage, pretended to pick up a sword, ran to the location where the expert Zhou Nuo had told him was hiding, and shouted loudly towards the rapeseed field.

"Hero! Come out here!"

"You must be a master from our Great Jing! Come out and save them!"

"Kill the Southern Zhou dogs!"

Xu Qingshan, who was half-squatting in the rapeseed field, was stunned for a moment.

What's going on?

Is it talking to me?

"Hero! Don't be a coward!"

"No! You're definitely not a coward, you just need to pee, right?"

"Hurry up and come out to defend your country after you're done urinating! The people are watching you!!"

Xu Qingshan looked to the other side and saw that many farmers who had gathered around were indeed looking in his direction.

"Holy crap..."

Upon hearing Zhao Cheng's voice, the Southern Zhou spies realized that Zhao Cheng was no longer in the carriage, and two of them rushed towards him.

Zhao Cheng ran while shouting, "Hero, come out quickly!"

"Come out quickly..."

Snap!

Snap!

Two sword shadows flashed past Zhao Cheng's eyes, and the two spies who had been chasing after him fell to the ground.

Xu Qingshan tucked his folding fan into his belt and said, "I'm out, stop shouting."

Seeing Xu Qingshan's skillful swordsmanship, Zhao Cheng immediately clasped his hands and said, "Extraordinary skill! Truly a great hero!"

After saying this, Zhao Cheng quickly looked towards the villagers and shouted, "Zhou Nuo, don't let the villagers come near! With this hero here, the Southern Zhou people are doomed!!"

"Understood!!!" Zhou Nuo cupped his hands like a megaphone and shouted to the villagers, "Everyone, step back! You are no match for these Southern Zhou people!! See that swordsman? He'll kill all the Southern Zhou people!!!"

Xu Qingshan: "..."

While Xu Qingshan wasn't paying attention, Zhao Cheng gave Zhou Nuo a thumbs-up from afar.

While Zhao Wu was engaged in a fierce battle with Yu Beipiao, he took the opportunity to purse his lips, thinking that Zhou Nuo was becoming more and more like Zhao Cheng after following him for so long.

Zhao Cheng sent Zhou Nuo to call out to the civilians, not to send them to fight and die, but simply to draw their attention and put pressure on Xu Qingshan, who was hiding in the rapeseed field.

Zhao Cheng's move was actually quite risky; he was gambling on how shameless this hidden expert was.

If you had skin as thick as his, it would be useless.

But unfortunately, Xu Qingshan is a shy person.

"Hero, please make a move!" Zhao Cheng urged. "To be honest, I am Zhao Cheng, the General of Zhaoyong of the Imperial Court. These are my personal guards, and they can't hold on much longer!"

As she spoke, she tugged at Xu Qingshan's sleeve and pointed in the directions of Zhao Wu and Zhou Chuan, saying, "There are also people from Southern Zhou in the fields and rapeseed fields!"

"Okay." Xu Qingshan was speechless, his mind still a little dazed.

I came here just to watch the fun, okay?

How did I suddenly become the center of attention?

Looking at the expectant eyes of the people, Xu Qingshan sighed inwardly.

Well, since things have already come to this, let's just kill Chen Chong while we're at it...

Xu Qingshan flipped his sword-wielding hand, seemingly without moving his feet, but his body moved swiftly toward the battleground between the soldiers and spies.

The battlefield, which had been deadlocked, was turned around the moment Xu Qingshan stepped in.

The Sword of Impermanence, the sword is impermanent.
