Chapter 67 Su Xiao begs Qingbao to save him
Qingbao's big eyes flashed red.
They immediately noticed something amiss.
No wonder, no wonder the abbot of Zhenguo Temple was able to remove the evil energy so easily when he performed the ritual.
It turns out that this evil spirit was clever and hid itself.
However, the evil spirits remaining on Su Xiao's body were not very strong, at least not as strong as those stored in Qingbao's bag.
Her little face turned serious as she asked Su Xiao, "You have a protective talisman now, it can't kill you."
"But, but it's always here, I'm scared... Qingbao, can you help Daddy drive it away?" Su Xiao's tone was pleading.
Even though he knew that evil spirits couldn't harm him.
But he could sense that the yang energy around him was slowly disappearing...
This is more terrifying than death.
Qingbao shook her head. "Do you know why you've been entangled with this person?"
Upon hearing this, Su Xiao was stunned.
Why did they get entangled with them?
How did he know why he was being entangled with?
All they knew was that on their way back to the capital, a large black fog surrounded them, intending to kill them.
Do evil spirits need a reason to harm people?
"There is no love without a reason, nor is there hatred without a reason... General Su, think carefully about how five hundred lives were lost."
Qingbao's voice was sweet and clear, but her serious expression made people afraid to look directly at her.
Despite being small, about the height of a stool, his imposing aura was overwhelming, almost overwhelming Su Xiao.
Su Xiao thought back carefully, muttering to himself, "Five hundred lives...five hundred people died..."
Let's rewind to three months ago.
In the final battle, Su Xiao assigned two battalion commanders, Si Yao and Wang Sheng, to lead men to attack the enemy's rear in order to encircle the remaining enemy troops.
The two battalions together have more than a thousand men, and the enemy also has more than a thousand men, but they are exhausted. Therefore, our two battalions will definitely be able to take them down.
Later, when our side achieved a great victory, Su Xiao personally heard the news from his subordinates!
"General, all five hundred men under Battalion Commander Wang Sheng are dead..."
"Wang Sheng is dead too..."
The entire military camp was plunged into deep sorrow, with no trace of the triumphant return.
Wang Sheng is an excellent battalion commander. He rose from an ordinary soldier to a battalion commander in just one year of service.
If I can return alive from this war, I will surely become a great general.
He is the only son in his family, and his elderly mother has suffered from an eye ailment for many years, only recently recovering from treatment this year…
My son just passed the provincial examination and is a young scholar who passed the imperial examination.
Everyone who knew Wang Sheng felt sorry for him and lamented his passing.
Upon hearing Qingbao mention five hundred lives, this was the only thing Su Xiao could think of.
"Qingbao, are you talking about Wang Sheng? Who told you that?"
Qingbao sighed softly, "Do I need anyone else to tell me? Tell me the truth, how exactly did they die?"
As she asked this question, the Soul-Locking Pouch in Qingbao's little cloth bag was shaking violently.
"They died in battle, but if they become evil spirits to seek my life just because they died on the battlefield, then why do so many soldiers who died in battle have to come after me?"
The thought that the evil spirit that had harmed him might very well be a former comrade-in-arms filled Su Xiao with disappointment and heartache.
"Were you involved in their deaths?" the little child continued to ask.
Su Xiao said, "I assigned Battalion Commanders Wang Sheng and Yao'er to fight in the rear, is that why?"
Qingbao shook her head. "Then let me ask you, why didn't Siyao die?"
Not only did Si Yao survive, but none of the five hundred men in her camp were injured or killed.
Su Xiao had asked her before why none of her men had been injured or killed.
Si Yao said with a smug look on her face, "Brother Xiao, every soldier I train is very strong."
At the time, he also praised Si Yao for her skillful management of her subordinates, noting that all of them had returned alive, which was a miracle on the battlefield.
He held the most outstanding girl in the world in his arms, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.
Such a special and capable woman was actually willing to be his concubine.
He felt deeply ashamed.
"Are the people Si Yao brought all very strong? So strong that none of them died? So strong that all five hundred of Wang Sheng's men were killed without a burial place?"
Qingbao kept asking questions.
This aroused a slight suspicion in Su Xiao, but he quickly dispelled it.
With a stern face, she said, "Qingbao, Yao'er has always been straightforward and honest. Unlike your mother, she is loyal and righteous. If her men are no match for her, she will definitely risk her life to save them."
Therefore, Su Xiao, who always thought he understood Si Yao, decisively reported her military achievements as well.
Because he believed that Si Yao's character and abilities were absolutely outstanding and excellent.
"Then let her come and save you, I'm leaving." Qingbao wasn't going to put up with it at all.
He immediately turned around and was about to leave.
Those who talk about mothers are all bad people.
She, Qingbao, has given him far too much face!
Su Xiao panicked and immediately got up from the bed, but accidentally rolled onto the floor.
"Qingbao, how could you just stand by and watch your father be possessed by evil spirits? You are my child, and you will be punished by heaven for being unfilial!"
The man's roar, accompanied by the clamor of the surrounding evil spirits, sent chills down one's spine and made one's scalp tingle.
Qingbao, carrying a small cloth bag, walked to the door, turned back against the light, and looked back.
"I can't save you, I'm just an ordinary child."
What divine retribution? She's just an ordinary child; how could she possibly save him?
Su Xiao was stunned. "Don't you have a pen that evil spirits are afraid of? Just take it out and drive them away!"
Qingbao smiled apologetically:
"It's a pity, that pen is now in your daughter Su Mengmeng's hands."
