The groom's hands had heavy calluses on the tiger's mouth, which showed that he was no ordinary groom. This person was highly skilled in martial arts and must have been a guard that Nangong Chiyu had sent to protect her.
"Your Highness, His Highness has issued a military order, which I dare not disobey. We will be using fast horses, and Your Highness will be able to return home in ten days."
Su Luo took out the token of the Deputy Minister of Agriculture from her waist, held it out to the guard, and spoke sharply.
"Look carefully, this is the token of the Deputy Minister of Agriculture, not Princess Yu. If you don't turn around, you can get off the carriage now."
Su Luo's tone left no room for argument. The guard hesitated for only a moment before Su Luo snatched the reins from his hand and turned the horse around to urge it on.
"Your Highness, please be careful. Let me do it instead."
Su Luo handed the reins to the guard and turned to Lian'er, who was still crying.
"Lian'er, here are three hundred taels of silver notes. Get off here and find a safe place to hide. Go back after the fighting in Beichuan City has subsided."
Su Luo took out the silver notes she hadn't finished saving from her spatial storage and gave them to Lian'er. Lian'er was still young, and she didn't even have the ability to protect herself.
She knew that her chances of survival upon returning home were slim, and she couldn't let Lian'er suffer as a burden.
"I don't want to. If you want to go back, I will go back with you. My mother and brother are still in Beichuan City. I can't just run away for my own sake."
The prince asked her to go with the princess in order to save her life. Although the prince said he would protect her family, she was still worried.
"Lian'er, there's no time left. I'll ask you one last time: are you really sure you want to go back?"
Lian'er nodded solemnly without the slightest hesitation.
"I've made up my mind, Your Highness. I'll go back with you."
"good!"
Su Luo didn't trust Nangong Chiyu's people, so she sat on the carriage's footboard and watched as the carriage returned to the direction of Beichuan City.
They traveled for two days and two nights using the fastest horses, so it will naturally take them another two days and two nights to get back.
Two horses died during the race, and Su Luo and her companions only had two hours to rest while changing horses.
The round trip took five days for the group. On the way, Su Luo felt very weak and checked her pulse.
She still had a lot of sleeping pills left on her body. If her body hadn't developed a resistance to the drugs, she wouldn't have woken up for at least five days, by which time they would have already entered the central part of Nanning Kingdom.
After traveling for three days, on a carriage road ten miles from Beichuan City, a guard shouted "Whoa!" and signaled the carriage to stop.
"Your Highness, have you thought this through? Do you really want to go back?"
Su Luo's body had almost completely metabolized the drug. She stood up from the platform and looked towards Beichuan City, where smoke billowed and the air was filled with a pungent smell. It was obvious that they were engaged in battle.
"It's getting dark, let's go..."
The closer she got, the clearer she could see the form of the war. When she was two kilometers away, she told the guard to stay behind to protect Lian'er, and she cut the reins with her dagger and rode off on one of the horses in the carriage.
Leave one horse for the two guards and tell them to hide as much as possible so they don't get caught by the Northern Liang people.
Beneath the walls of Beichuan City, blood flowed like a river. The city gates were smashed open by the Beiliang people, and lying on the ground were not only the Chiyu Army soldiers, but also Beiliang soldiers.
Whether on or below the city gate, there was a constant clash of swords and spears, and the soldiers, covered in blood, did not flinch.
The insect repellent, covered in blood, was faintly visible on the ground, along with countless unidentified insects.
As soon as this insect bites a person, their legs will quickly become stiff.
According to Su Luo's observation, she discovered that these insects did not attack the Beiliang people, and each Beiliang person had a small medicine bag tied to their ankle.
With the help of poisonous insects, the Chiyu Army was already defeated. The general leading the Northern Liang army was not Ye Beihan, but a tall and imposing general with a full beard who was leading the troops to attack the city.
"Hahahaha...Kill...Kill all these despicable bastards from Nanning, hahahaha..."
With victory in sight, the leading general's face was full of smugness.
The sounds of fighting were intense, and Su Luo could still faintly hear a sound like tearing silk mixed in with the noise.
It seems that these poisonous insects are controlled by this sound.
As night fell, Su Luo spotted Nangong Chiyu fighting the enemy at the city gate, illuminated by the glowing firelight.
He was stabbed several times and covered in blood, some of which belonged to the people of Beiliang, but most of it was his own.
His legs gave way and he began to lose his balance, but he managed to stay upright thanks to his strong willpower.
The Red Feather Army was still in front of him, and the insect repellent scattered on the ground posed no threat to these poisonous insects.
Seeing this, Su Luo's eyes turned bloodshot; this wasn't her first time participating in a war.
When she arrived, she changed into men's clothing that was convenient for combat and took out a machine gun and hand ammunition from her spatial storage.
They opened fire as soon as they saw the Northern Liang army. A burst of gunfire rang out in the darkness, along with hand bullets that exploded as soon as they hit the ground.
Those were weapons that neither the Red Feather Army nor the Northern Liang had ever seen before. Before either side could react, Su Luo, sitting on horseback, slaughtered everyone in her path.
However, the Red Feather Army soon realized that Su Luo was on their side, and many of the poisonous insects that could not be driven away by medicine were killed by hand bullets and gunpowder.
"Red Feather Army, listen to my command! Take the medicine packets off the feet of the Northern Liang soldiers and keep them safe. They are insect repellent."
Su Luo, sitting on horseback, shouted repeatedly that these poisonous insects were artificially bred and only they could concoct the real deworming medicine.
All the insect repellents that Su Luo and the others made had no effect here.
When Nangong Chiyu saw the woman outside the city gate, who was firing all the way, he frowned. Even though he couldn't see her face clearly, he knew that it was Su Luo.
In that moment of distraction, he was stabbed in the right shoulder again.
But he couldn't care less about anything else at that moment, and he slit the throat of the person who had injured him with a single sword strike.
He fought his way through the enemy lines, and when he reached Su Luo, he mounted his horse.
There were many poisonous insects on the ground, and the horse's limbs were already stiff. Although it was not flexible, it was not yet about to fall down.
"Luo Luo, why are you back?"
Su Luo turned her head to look at Nangong Chiyu behind her. When fighting, her posture was no less than that of a man.
"If I don't reply, am I supposed to just watch you die?"
As she spoke, she took out the best machine gun from her spatial storage and tossed it to Nangong Chiyu.
"Watch me do it!"
Nangong Chiyu was already the best archer, and after watching Su Luo fire just one bullet, he knew how to use the gun.
Chi Yi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the prince was still alive. He picked up a medicine packet from the ankle of a Beiliang soldier, tied it to his own ankle, and sure enough, the poisonous insects stopped coming near him.
The Northern Liang, which was on the verge of victory, was wiped out by Su Luo's weapons, with more than 30,000 people almost completely annihilated.
The general, his face full of menacing features, gritted his teeth and gave an order to the remaining survivors.
"withdraw……"
Under the cover of darkness, the Northern Liang army retreated, but letting a tiger return to the mountain was never Su Luo's style, and she pointed her gun at that general.
After firing eight shots, the tall and imposing man fell from his horse not far from them.
