Xiao Duye clenched his fists and breathed rapidly.

They were clearly rivals, but why could he not help but get excited...

I even have the urge to join the army and kill the enemy.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Qin Canglan and the Qin family cavalry behind him who had sworn to protect them, and was also a little shocked.

Is this the Qin family army? The most powerful cavalry of the Zhou Kingdom.

She seemed to understand why some people were determined to sever the relationship between the Qin, Su and Wei families.

They are the pillars of the Great Zhou, the imperial power of the dynasty, the iron wall of the beautiful rivers, and the faith and reliance of the people of the world.

Qin Canglan ignored Xiao Duye and took Su Xiaoxiao and Princess Hui'an back to the carriage that had been prepared in advance.

Princess Hui'an had been struggling for several hours and was already exhausted. Now that the Qin army had arrived, her tense nerves relaxed and she fell asleep holding Su Xiaoxiao's hand.

Qin Canglan asked Su Xiaoxiao with concern: "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Su Xiaoxiao did not say that she was caught on purpose, she just said that she followed two men in black here.

The skills of those two men were average, but there was a very powerful master among the men in black who escorted Princess Hui'an.

Qin Canglan said: "It should be a shadow guard."

"What is a shadow guard?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Qin Canglan explained: "He is a master of the White Lotus Sect, equivalent to the secret guards of a noble family. Are you not injured?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Originally, I was going to get hurt a little."

With her last move, she stabbed the opponent in the chest, and the opponent's sword slashed at her arm.

Although it is not fatal, she is very afraid of pain and if she is really cut, it will be very painful and she will suffer.

Su Xiaoxiao recalled: "Someone shot a hidden weapon and knocked down his sword."

Qin Canglan was slightly surprised: "Oh?"

"This." Su Xiaoxiao handed a small dart to Qin Canglan.

Qin Canglan took it, looked at it, and said, "It's a swallow-tail dart. It gets its name because it looks like a swallow's tail."

"Is this kind of dart common?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

"It's not rare." Qin Canglan stroked the swallowtail dart in his hand, "But this material doesn't seem to be ordinary copper or iron."

Su Xiaoxiao asked, "Isn't he someone sent by Grandfather?"

Qin Canglan said, "I don't have anyone around me who uses this kind of swallowtail dart, and neither does the old monkey's family. Could it be the Wei family? Go back and ask Wei Ting."

"Um."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded.

Xiao Duye had been standing outside in the cold wind for a long time, and thought that Qin Canglan would call him into the carriage.

After waiting for a long time, Qin Canglan didn't call him.

He was furious.

It looks like tonight's plan is going to fail, but at least I brought Hui'an back, which is also a credit.

He walked towards the carriage.

Su Xiaoxiao said, "In addition, there are rebels from the White Lotus Sect hiding on this mountain."

Qin Canglan said coldly: "Then I will lead the troops to destroy them immediately!"

Qin Canglan didn't even ask how many rebels there were. With three thousand cavalry, even if there were thirty thousand rebels, they could be wiped out in one fell swoop! Besides, this mountaintop couldn't hold so many troops.

When Xiao Duye heard this, he paused.

Qin Canglan asked: "Do you know where they are hiding?"

Su Xiaoxiao replied, "I know, but the cavalry made such a big noise, I think they must have been alerted, and I don't know if they have escaped by now."

Qin Canglan said firmly: "They won't escape."

Qin Canglan raised his eyebrows and said, "In the Great Zhou, only the Qin family has heavy cavalry. We can tell from the noise that the Qin family's cavalry is coming. No one in the world is faster than the Qin family's cavalry. Unless they want to be caught, they will definitely stay put or hide in a safe place."

Xiao Duye was shocked.

Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin and said, "Hide... then should we search the mountain?"

Qin Canglan smiled and patiently passed on his experience to his granddaughter: "Searching the mountain will disperse the troops, and it's late at night, so it's easy to be ambushed."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "What should we do then?"

Qin Canglan said domineeringly: "That's easy, just set fire to the mountain!"

"Go get me a pot of water."

"yes!"

After giving orders to one of his cavalrymen, Xiao Duye said to the carriage road: "Old Protector of the Country!"

Qin Canglan lifted the curtain and looked outside the carriage: "What do you want, Your Highness?"

Xiao Duye asked in a normal tone: "I was thinking, it's so late now, Hui'an has been found, should we go back?"

Qin Canglan said calmly: "Your Highness, please return to the palace first. I still have to wipe out the rebels."

Xiao Duye was stunned: "Rebellious party? What rebellious party?"

Qin Canglan said: "The White Lotus Sect rebels."

Xiao Duye was extremely surprised: "Are there any members of the White Lotus Sect here? Who told you that?"

Qin Canglan said indifferently: "The White Lotus Sect seems to be the case of the Third Prince. Is the First Prince sure you want to intervene?"

Xiao Duye's mouth twitched, and he maintained the aura of a prince: "I'm just curious, so I asked casually. But, it seems that the old Protector of the Country is not in charge of this case, right?"

Qin Canglan bowed to the sky and said, "Thanks to the late emperor's trust, I, this old minister, will wipe out the rebels first and report later!"

Xiao Duye took a look at the armor bestowed upon him by the late emperor. This armor was equivalent to the imperial sword and it did have this privilege.

He knew that he couldn't stop Qin Canglan, he was just delaying time.

His men went to fetch water ostensibly, but in reality they were going to inform the White Lotus Sect.

Qin Canglan was right, no one could be faster than the Qin family's cavalry.

However, what Qin Canglan did not know was that there was actually a waterway on the mountain. As long as the White Lotus people crossed the bridge before the Qin family cavalry and destroyed the bridge, the Qin family army would not be able to catch up.

Xiao Duye asked, "Can I ask how the old Protector of the Country plans to wipe out the rebels?"

Qin Canglan brushed off the non-existent dust on his armor and said, "I'm sorry, but I have nothing to say!"

Xiao Duye smiled and said, "In that case, I will not stop you. The old Protector of the Country just needs to go and wipe out the rebels, and I will take Hui'an back to the palace."

Su Xiaoxiao said, "Princess Hui'an is asleep."

Xiao Duye said: "I'll bring her down."

Su Xiaoxiao said coldly: "Your Highness doesn't have a carriage, I'm afraid the princess will be frozen to death."

Xiao Duye looked at Qin Canglan and said, "Then I'll have to trouble the old Protector of the Country to take me and Hui'an there."

Qin Canglan looked up at the sky and said, "My granddaughter is also in the carriage. It will be inconvenient for her to travel with His Highness. After all, I don't want my granddaughter to be someone's concubine."

This was a mockery of his marrying Qin Yanran as a concubine.

Xiao Duye was almost furious, so he forced a smile and said, "I'll ride the horse, and let Miss Su and Hui'an take the carriage, okay?"

Princess Hui'an rubbed her eyes dazedly: "It's so noisy...what are you doing?"

Xiao Duye's eyes lit up: "Huian, are you awake? Big brother will take you back to the palace."

"I'm not awake!" Princess Hui'an hugged Su Xiaoxiao's arms tightly and closed her eyes pretending to be dead!
