Chapter 15 Qingbao directly confronts her scumbag father who refuses to help her in her time of need.
The surrounding black mist howled and raged.
They have been enraged and are determined to bring utter destruction to everyone outside the aperture.
Under such circumstances, if Qingbao were to leave, Su Xiao would have absolutely no chance of surviving.
Even innocent soldiers, along with their mothers and daughters, will perish here…
He gritted his teeth and pushed Su Mengmeng next to the old lady, saying, "Take good care of her."
Immediately, he rushed towards Qingbao, even using his light-footed skills.
Qingbao used the black aura to obscure her mother's vision. She looked at Su Xiao, her big eyes filled with disappointment.
"Father, before Qingbao died, she was waiting for you to come and take her home. But how did you treat Qingbao?"
"Qingbao isn't being unfilial, she's just completely disappointed in you."
"The calamity you are in now is your own karma. If Qingbao interferes, you will surely suffer eternal damnation once again."
"This is the last time Qingbao will call you 'Father.' The bond between father and daughter was severed the moment Qingbao died!"
"Your tribulation is yours to face; don't bring harm upon me and my mother..."
The judge's pen twirled twice in the chubby little hand, stirring up eerie black energy around it.
Suddenly.
Su Xiao was met with complete darkness. Qingbao and her group had vanished into the darkness, leaving no trace.
The evil spirits roared as they charged toward Su Xiao, their mournful howls echoing through the thick black mist.
Si He opened her eyes with a start and found that the sun was shining brightly in front of her, and she was back on the familiar road.
The two soldiers who escorted them were so frightened by their near-death experience that their legs went weak.
With a "plop," they knelt down before Qingbao and Sihe.
“Miss is a blessed person as prophesied by the ancestors of the Su family. Now she has saved my brother and me. We will never forget this life-saving grace.”
"Madam and Miss, if there is anything we brothers can do to help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask. We brothers will do anything to help!"
Si He came to her senses and said, "It was Qingbao who saved us all."
The two immediately kowtowed to Qingbao, saying, "Little Ancestor, please let us brothers kowtow to you!"
"Yes, yes, we kneel before you, you don't need to feel burdened."
Qingbao put away the judge's pen and said kindly, "You can kneel down, I have no problem with it."
These two people knelt down and were as tall as her. What burden did she have?
"By the way, what are your names?" Qingbao asked, looking at the two big heads in front of her.
"My name is Liu Wanxiang."
"My name is Liu Gengxin."
"You can just call us Wanxiang Gengxin brothers, that's what everyone in the family calls us!"
The two answered in unison, as if they had a tacit understanding that had lasted for many years.
Qingbao saw a trace of malevolent energy disappear from their heads and nodded knowingly.
It was she who helped the two of them escape this ordeal.
"Get up quickly, we need to get back to the capital before dark, otherwise it will be dangerous on the road." Seeing that it was almost time, Si He quickly woke the two up.
The two brothers, Wanxiang Gengxin, patted their chests and said confidently, "With us here, Madam and Miss will be safe!"
They took out the loose silver they had saved up over several years in the army and bought a simple oxcart from a passing cowherd.
Sihe and her daughter sat on an oxcart, which the two brothers pushed along as they traveled.
Qingbao spread her arms wide, letting the wind blow through her, her eyes crinkling with laughter, looking like a lucky baby.
Three hours later.
The four arrived at the city gate.
The two then bid farewell to the mother and daughter and went home to visit the elderly mother.
Si He bowed to the two of them and said, "You two have worked hard. This is just a small token of our appreciation."
She took the plain hairpin off her head and gave it to them.
After all, the two of them had bought the oxcart, and they continued to push it along with Qingbao.
If it weren't for them, the mother and daughter would have had to travel for who knows how long.
The brothers, seeing the new look of everything, dared not accept the money, saying it was insignificant compared to Qingbao's life-saving grace.
Sihe then gave up.
When Qingbao left, she skipped back and said goodbye to her two older brothers in a soft and sweet voice.
Liu Gengxin watched the mother and daughter's retreating figures, a warm smile appearing on his lips.
"Wanxiang, don't you think that although the General's wife is dressed in coarse clothes, her beauty is undeniable, and Qingbao is also very pretty and cute?"
Liu Wanxiang slapped his brother on the forehead. "You don't need to tell me. They're all fine. I just don't know why the general treats her like this. Don't get any other ideas, I'm telling you."
"Even if Madam is like this, she is still someone we cannot reach."
His childhood sweetheart and his obedient and adorable daughter couldn't compare to the loneliness he felt while on the border, and the woman who stayed by his side.
General Su, you have lost so much good fortune.
"How could I dare? I only have awe for Qingbao."
"That's good. Hurry home, Mom is waiting for us. She must be tired from doing all the housework by herself."
"Uh-huh."
*
Sihe led Qingbao through the city gate.
The guards at the gate told them, "The city gates will be open all day today and the keys will not be released. You have children with you, so please walk slowly and don't rush. There are many people in the city today, and it would be bad if the children were pushed around."
Si He nodded and thanked the officers and soldiers.
Qingbao raised her round little face and asked the soldier in her childish voice, "Uncle, thank you, I want to ask why the door won't close?"
"Today is the day of General Su's triumphant return. We have been instructed to stay open all day until General Su returns."
When Su Xiao reported his journey, he deliberately reported it a day late.
The purpose was to first return to Sujia Village to pay respects to their ancestors.
Today is the deadline for returning to the capital, and all the officials are waiting, but he is still nowhere to be seen.
The scouts returned several times, all saying that no army was seen within ten miles.
The guards were exhausted. "Sigh, I don't know how long we'll have to keep guarding this gate."
The sun had already set, but there was still no sign of General Su's troops.
Not only did the officers and soldiers suffer, but if those waiting in the palace became angry, they would also be implicated.
"Hurry up and go in, be careful," the officer said kindly to Qingbao.
The little guy is so cute, everyone loves him.
Just as Sihe turned around with Qingbao in her hand.
The people in the city suddenly started running around in a panic. The sound of horses' hooves grew more rapid and closer. Everyone made way for the riders, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
What followed was the soldiers shouting loudly:
"General Si has left the city on urgent business. You must make way immediately. We will not be responsible for any injuries you may suffer!"
Amidst the chaos among the crowd, envious voices occasionally emanated from the women.
"That's General Si! I heard that she helped General Su achieve military merits and was awarded the title of female general. She and General Su are truly a match made in heaven!"
"Yes, it's a pity she's a woman, otherwise I really want to marry her, she's so cool."
"A woman like General Si has truly given the women of the Great Xia Dynasty a lot of pride!"
Hearing the occasional words of envy, Si Yao raised her head slightly, her heart instantly filled with pride.
However, she did not stop because of these words; on the contrary, they only urged her to ride faster.
The woman was dressed in a red outfit, and when she rode the horse, her high ponytail swung up hard, hitting her bright little face.
Si Yao pulled out her whip and lashed it against the ground, making a "crack" sound.
In the eyes of the girls, this move was incredibly cool!
The horse was moving so fast that Si Yao didn't even notice the person in front of her.
Sihe's first reaction upon being startled was to grab Qingbao and run to the side as fast as she could.
Si Yao hurriedly reined in her horse, which raised its head high and kicked Si He to the ground with its iron hooves.
Si He's clothes had a large tear on the arm, but Qing Bao in her arms was unharmed.
"How do you walk? Don't you know to walk on the side of the road with a child?"
