Seemingly fearing that Qiu Dafu wouldn't save him, Liu Qi crawled and shouted.
"This woman is a princess of Northern Qi, and she's in cahoots with those people from before. Quickly, seize her...seize her..."
He was just an ordinary soldier, but he didn't care about defecting to the enemy or betraying his country; all he wanted was to live.
The reason he only spoke these words now was because he was afraid of being killed by the woman in front of him; after all, he wasn't stupid.
Qiu Yan and the other two, along with the crowd of people around them, were quite shocked when they heard what Liu Qi said.
But in their hearts, there was more doubt than anything else.
How could a little beggar know a princess of Northern Qi?
However, Qiu Dafu did not think so.
Because he knew that Liu Qi himself was a member of the Northern Qi army, and what he had just said was very likely true.
He shook his head at Qiu Yan and Jiang Liu beside him, signaling them not to move.
Previously, he had encountered Chu Tian on the road, incurring Chu Tian's wrath, which nearly led to his death.
In fact, given the circumstances at the time, it was already a stroke of luck that he and Jiang Liu were able to escape safely.
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, he would avoid making himself remembered, lest he bring about another fatal disaster.
At this moment, the eyes of the surrounding people seemed to want to tear Qi Yuan and the others to pieces.
Even the woman and her entourage were utterly astonished.
Instantly, her vigilance was heightened.
This stinking beggar actually knows her?
That's right, she is Princess Qi Yuan of Northern Qi.
There's a reason she's here, of course.
Since the last calamity that befell Huaiyuan, Gu Qian had secretly spread the news that Chu Tian, a general of Northern Qi, had surrendered to Dongjin.
After all, it was a fact that Gu Qian had used Chu Tian to enter the city last time.
Qi Yuan's purpose in coming here was, of course, to find Chu Tian and confront him personally.
Furthermore, Gu Qian personally stated in the main hall last time that he already had a fiancée.
Upon hearing this, she was consumed by jealousy and vowed to kill Gu Qian's beloved as soon as possible.
What she didn't know was that Chu Tian had already died at Gu Qian's hands.
Little did they know, the person Gu Qian admired was right in front of him.
The Emperor of Northern Qi was nearly driven to his death by Chu Tian's anger, and at the same time, fear began to creep into his heart.
If he had known that Chu Tian harbored rebellious intentions, he should have killed him sooner.
Regarding the recent upheaval in Huaiyuan, Gu Qian certainly did not forget to write a letter to He Lin.
When He Lin found out, he flew into a rage.
He was constantly thinking about destroying the Northern Qi.
He realized the seriousness of the situation and began conscription across the country, preparing for the future unification of the country.
Gu Qian, on the other hand, was also busy training soldiers.
Qi Yuan was filled with rage when her identity was suddenly exposed.
She raised her long whip, increasing the force of her grip.
Liu Qi had expected this. Just as the long whip was about to strike him again, he struggled to turn his body and then gripped the whip tightly.
At the same time, he still called on Qiu Dafu for help.
Qi Yuan was annoyed by the obstruction and hurriedly pulled out forcefully.
Due to her force, Liu Qi's hand was forced to slip.
Instantly, his palm turned blood red, as if it were about to break, and the pain was unbearable.
Qi Yuan didn't give Liu Qi any time to catch his breath. Immediately afterward, she lashed out with her whip, the long whip wrapping around Liu Qi's neck.
Qi Yuan pulled hard, and Liu Qi felt like he was suffocating.
He couldn't muster any strength at all; the choking made his eyes roll back. All he could do now was watch the figure getting closer and closer ahead.
"Master, save me..."
Qiu Dafu was his only lifeline.
Seeing Qiu Dafu suddenly stop, Liu Qi frowned.
That's it, he's doomed.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, with a whoosh, a pebble was swiftly ejected from Qiu Dafu's fingertip and struck Qi Yuan's right wrist directly.
