Chapter 144 The Little Queen Whose Wife Was Taken Away by the King (10)

The movement was so fast that it was almost imperceptible, but Qingwu was a woman with a delicate mind and extraordinary intelligence.

At this critical moment, she immediately understood what Huo Tingye was thinking just by relying on this extremely subtle hint.

Just when the Japanese pirate raised his shining long sword, with a fierce look on his face, and slashed at Qingwu's back viciously, Qingwu reacted without hesitation.

She quickly squatted down and avoided the fatal blow in an instant.

At the same time, Huo Tingye, who had been ready to strike, saw the opportunity and suddenly released the bowstring with his fingers.

With a muffled "puff" sound, the sharp arrow, filled with power and murderous intent, accurately shot into the throat of the Japanese pirate.

The Japanese pirate opened his eyes wide, with a look of ferocity and disbelief still lingering on his face, but he slowly fell down.

The arrow flew through the air at an astonishing speed and brushed past the beauty's veil. The brief contact brought up a breeze that gently lifted a corner of the veil.

Qingwu, who had been held hostage by the Japanese pirate, suddenly lost her support point, lost her balance, and fell forward involuntarily.

Huo Tingye's eyes suddenly became fierce, and he flashed forward, holding Qingwu in his arms almost in an instant, avoiding the blood gushing out of the Japanese pirates and not letting Qingwu be stained with a single drop of blood.

Except for the shocking red marks on the beauty's neck.

The veil falls—

A stunningly beautiful face that could be called the most beautiful in the world was displayed in front of Huo Tingye without reservation.

Her skin is as delicate and white as mutton-fat jade, with a faint pink blush; her eyes are like the twinkling stars in the night sky, bright and moving; her nose is straight and small, and below it is a cherry mouth that is red without any makeup.

She was so breathtakingly beautiful that everything around her lost its color in an instant.

At this time, Mrs. Huo took advantage of the enemy's distraction and successfully broke free from her restraints.

She turned around and looked behind her, only to see the Huo family army rushing forward with neat and powerful steps. They were well-trained and coordinated well, and they quickly subdued the remaining Japanese pirates one by one.

Huo Tingye's eyes were heavy. He asked Qing Wu in his arms, "Why, aren't you afraid of death?"

At this moment, the forced calmness on Qingwu's extremely beautiful face had long disappeared, replaced by a look of relief at surviving the disaster.

Her body was completely limp, and the panic that she had been trying so hard to suppress finally burst out like a flood, making her look even more delicate, weak and pitiful.

Since Huo Tingye asked, Qingwu answered subconsciously: "Because Awu believes in the general."

Under her curved eyebrows, she had a pair of beautiful eyes as clear and transparent as water, her eyes were filled with extreme cleverness and gentleness, and at the same time, mixed with gratitude and admiration for Huo Tingye.

Qingwu's voice was soft and gentle. She raised her head slightly, stared at Huo Tingye's stern face, and continued:

"Awu has heard that General Huo is the invincible god of war and the supreme guardian god in the hearts of the people of Daxia. Therefore, Awu always believes that as long as you are by my side, Awu will be safe."

The light in the beauty's eyes is so moving, and her enchanting appearance almost makes people's souls tremble.

Huo Tingye remained silent and hugged Qingwu tighter.

Hearing the completely unbalanced heartbeat beside her ear, Qingwu's mouth corners curled up slightly without being noticed.

After everything around him returned to calm, Huo Tingye's expression instantly returned to his usual cold expression.

He turned his head expressionlessly to look at his men behind him, and in an unusually calm tone ordered them to deal with all these people, then find out what happened, and settle the accounts with them in a few days.

Qing Wu was stunned as she listened to this serious and intimidating man giving orders in an orderly manner. The entire Huo family army was well-organized, and the momentum was magnificent and shocking.

One can tell at a glance that it is a superior army with an absolutely outstanding commander.

but--

Although Huo Tingye's face was as cold as ice, his big hands tightly wrapped around Qingwu's waist were so hot.

Qingwu felt the temperature around her waist getting hotter and hotter, and it seemed as if she had just realized it, and her shyness was hard to hide.

Qingwu twisted her body gently, trying to break free from Huo Tingye's control with gentle strength.

She said in a panic, "General Huo, thank you for your help. Now that the matter has been settled, could you please let Awu go?"

When Huo Tingye heard Qing Wu's words, he seemed to realize that his actions were inappropriate.

He nodded imperceptibly, relaxed the strength in his hands slightly, and slightly loosened his restraint on Qingwu.

After regaining her freedom, Qingwu did not dare to delay for even a moment and quickly retreated like a frightened deer.

Before long, a distance of more than one meter separated her from Huo Tingye.

Seeing this, Huo Tingye couldn't help but frown, revealing a hint of dissatisfaction.

Mrs. Huo, who had been watching this scene silently from the side, suddenly felt her heart tighten and her eyebrows began to beat heavily involuntarily.

......No way?

She was about to say something to remind them, but she saw Rong Jinxiu coming out with Madam Ning, who had been in the room and was then well protected by Huo Tingye's men.

She looked a little tired, but overall she looked fine.

"Miss!"

"Xiao Wu!"

Qing Wu, who had been watching nervously from the side, gradually relaxed her tense expression after seeing that Madam Ning was safe and sound.

Then, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, outlining a smile as elegant as a lotus blooming for the first time.

Although that smile was just a shallow arc, it was very touching.

Huo Tingye, who was standing aside, had a slight flicker in his eyes.

He subconsciously put the hand that had just been around Qingwu's slender waist behind his back and clenched it into a fist.

It seems that he is trying to use this to cover up some unspeakable emotional fluctuations deep in his heart.

At this time, Madam Ning walked quickly to Qingwu's side. The two looked at each other carefully. After confirming that neither of them had suffered any serious injuries, they breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Rong Jinxiu looked at the glaring red line on Qingwu's beautiful white neck and felt heartbroken.

Just as everyone was immersed in this moment of tranquility, Huo Tingye suddenly broke the silence: "Excuse me, are you the wife of the Ningyuan Marquis?"

Mrs. Huo's heart beat faster. Her son...
