Qiao Jiaojiao turned away embarrassedly, her face flushed.

There was no other way. She couldn't speak, so she could only use this lame method.

Wait a little longer, until she can speak, then it will be much easier!

Qiao Tianjing is now a little anxious. People from the north have actually sneaked into the capital!

It seems that there are some things that I can no longer hide from my father, otherwise it will be too late when a big mistake is made!

Thinking of this, Qiao Tianjing really felt like returning home.

However, what he didn't know was that Qiao Zhongguo could also hear Qiao Jiaojiao's thoughts, and as early as when Qiao Jiaojiao was one month old, he had already placed spies around the Second Prince.

At this time, Qiao Zhongguo, who was far away in the Qiao Mansion, had already received the news!

Seeing her husband dressed up and ready to go out, Mrs. Qiao couldn't help but look puzzled: "Husband, are you going out?"

Qiao Zhongguo was worried that Mrs. Qiao was worried, so he said with a relaxed look, "The eldest and second sons have been taking Jiaojiao out for a while. I'll go pick them up."

Mrs. Qiao said with a smile: "You are really born to worry, so go and come back quickly!"

To be honest, she was also a little worried.

Qiao Zhongguo smiled and said yes, then headed straight for Putian Street with a few capable men.

At this time, Qiao Diyi was anxious to take Qiao Jiaojiao home, fearing that she would get wet and frozen. He also wanted to take the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince away from this place of trouble as soon as possible.

He is skilled in martial arts and is not afraid of the northerners, but the crown prince is the foundation of a country's stability and he must not be lost!

At the critical moment, Qiao Diyi's thinking was still very clear.

He pretended to be careless and showed his clothes that were soaked by Qiao Jiaojiao, then said with a smile: "It seems that my little sister wants to go home."

The prince smiled knowingly and nodded upon seeing this.

"It's time to go back."

Otherwise, the Queen Mother would worry about him and Xiao Si.

The winner of the pair has been chosen, and the crowd gradually dispersed, continuing to parade and view the lanterns.

Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi felt relieved when they saw this. They were about to turn around and leave when suddenly a loud shout came from somewhere on the street:

"Prince! That's the Prince!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a moment of silence on the street. The next moment, the sounds of several arrows breaking through the air were heard at the same time!

"Protect the prince!"

The palace guards immediately drew the soft swords at their waists and surrounded the prince, Qiao Jiaojiao and the others in the center.

Qiao Jiaojiao was confused.

[Why don’t you play by the plot again! ]

Qiao Diyi's expression was extremely cold. He hugged Qiao Jiaojiao tightly to his chest, his whole body tense, ready to strike.

Clanking sounds were heard all around, followed by screams and sounds of panicked escape. The originally bustling Putian Street suddenly became chaotic!

Qiao Jiaojiao was protected in Qiao Diyi's arms and was able to remain calm.

Her eyes were gloomy, and she analyzed in her mind:

[That exclamation just now was so strange, it was as if it was deliberately pointing out the identity of the prince! ]

[Could it be that the person who spoke this way had long known that there were people from the North hiding in secret, so he spoke this way on purpose, hoping to use the people from the North to get rid of the prince? ]

[Who in this area has such thoughts? The answer is obvious! ]

Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but look up at the Zhucui Pavilion on the other side.

[Is the male protagonist losing his temper so quickly? 】

There is an elegant box on the top floor of Zhucui Pavilion. At this moment, the second prince Shen Yuanbai is sitting beside the table with an extremely sinister look on his face.

"Uncle Zhou, who asked you to act on your own?"

His eyes were filled with uncontrollable anger.

Kneeling in front of him was an old slave with a hunched back and a head full of silver hair, looking very old.

His face was full of fear, but there was also a hint of joy that was hard to conceal.

"Sir, there are many people from the North coming this time. The Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince are here."

"As long as the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince are dead, you will be the most logical heir to the throne! Then you can avenge the princess by killing her!"

When Shen Yuanbai heard this, he stood up in anger and said, "Uncle Zhou, I know you want to avenge my mother, but have you ever thought that this is at the foot of the imperial city and reinforcements will arrive soon."

"Once these northerners are captured, if they reveal the purpose of this trip, will the emperor still tolerate me?"

"Even if these northerners can escape unscathed, the Crown Prince is in danger today, and all the teahouses and taverns around him need to be thoroughly investigated. Do you think Zhu Cui Pavilion can be spared?"

When Zhou Bo heard this, his face suddenly turned pale.

Thinking about how the young master had been preparing for this since he could remember, and only today had this comprehensive Zhucui Pavilion, he realized what a stupid thing he had done!

"This... Sir, I didn't think so much, I thought you——"

Shen Yuanbai's face was stern. "You think that because the prince treats me kindly, I have forgotten the hatred of my mother's murder, so you want to force me, right or not!"

Zhou Bo was shaking all over, and he kowtowed repeatedly on the ground in fear, "Sir, I dare not do that! I am doing this for you, and I don't want you to miss this great opportunity!"

Looking at Uncle Zhou whose forehead was bleeding, Shen Yuanbai was stunned. Finally, he slowly sat back, with deep fatigue revealed between his brows.

"Uncle Zhou, that's enough. I know you mean well."

"But this move is indeed a bad omen. Now I can only make a bold move and abandon this Zhu Cui Pavilion."

Zhou Bo felt really regretful when he heard this.

He still held on to a glimmer of hope, "Sir, let's wait and see. Perhaps these Northern Kingdom warriors have special means."

Shen Yuanbai shook his head and said coldly: "Uncle Zhou, never pin your hopes of success on others."

As soon as Shen Yuanbai finished speaking, there was a sudden hissing sound of horses in the distance. Zhou Bo stuck his head out to take a look and his face suddenly changed.

"Qiao Zhongguo! Qiao Zhongguo is here!"

Shen Yuanbai closed his eyes resignedly after hearing this.

Qiao Zhongguo was once the most valiant and skilled general of the Great Yong Dynasty. Today, he is still as skilled as ever, and these Northern Kingdom warriors cannot withstand a single blow from him.

He stood up suddenly, his voice extremely cold.

"Pass the order, retreat immediately, take away all the confidential documents, and don't leave even a scrap of paper behind!"

When Zhou Bo heard this, he suddenly collapsed to the ground, and it was too late to regret.

Before Shen Yuanbai left, he lowered his eyes and looked at Qiao Zhongguo who was riding towards him.

Censor Qiao came so quickly...

I don't know why, but since a few months ago, everything seemed to be going wrong.

Today he clearly had a premonition that he should meet the destined person, but that person did not show up in the end.

What went wrong? Was it possible that even God was unwilling to help him?

Shen Yuanbai's expression was dazed and confused, and in the end he could only leave with reluctance.

Qiao Jiaojiao felt the cold air passing through her urine-soaked pants and up her legs, and her whole body felt a little numb.

The attack of the Northern Kingdom's death squad was so fierce that it was almost a suicidal attack.

The prince frowned, but his expression remained unchanged.

At this moment, even the naive girl who had been making so much noise stood beside the prince with a sullen face, extremely calm and silent.

Qiao Jiaojiao now realized that these princes and crown princes were not simple at all!

Seeing three or four guards fall, Qiao Diyi's eyes became fierce.

These northerners will do anything to achieve their goals, it's obvious they're seeking death!

Seeing the Northern Kingdom warriors in the back row drawing their bows and arrows, the arrow tips were stained black, Qiao Diyi shouted:

"Be careful, the arrows are poisonous!"

Just at this moment, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance. Everyone looked up and saw Qiao Zhongguo leading several of his men on horseback. They were particularly eye-catching under the lights along the street!

Seeing this, Qiao Jiaojiao shouted out with joy, babbling.

[Dad! Dad is here! ]

[Wow, my dad is truly an invincible hero! ]
