While Qiao Zhongguo was paying attention to the situation of the bandits in front, he also took in the confrontation between Meng Guxue and Baili Chengyou behind him.
The sea of blood and swords before him was nothing new to him. Back then on the battlefield, human lives were not considered human lives at all. Even he had been on the verge of death several times and almost lost his life.
The guards knew they were no match for the enemy and were already running for their lives. The bandits were coming at them with great force and were soon within reach.
Qiao Zhongguo was fearless. He held a long sword in his hand and guided the direction of the Qiao family army behind him!
When Qiao Zhongguo saw that the guards around Baili Chengyou were safe and sound, he was not surprised. Instead, he understood everything.
That’s the second male lead that Jiaojiao mentioned, and he had dreamt about everything. How could he be a simple man?
From chatting with Baili Chengyou intentionally or unintentionally these days, he could see that the third prince was ambitious and had deep thoughts.
In this line of work, everyone has their own calculations.
The Second Prince wanted to destroy the Qiao family and took the opportunity to drag Prince Baili into the water. Didn't Prince Baili have the same idea?
All in all, in the game between the two of them, the Qiao family is the one that is bound to die.
But the Qiao family army has experienced life and death. Even if they are poisoned, don't think you can kill them easily!
The reason why he pretended to be ignorant of Baili Chengyou's plan all the way was that he had his own plans.
Everyone wants to be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Why can't Qiao Zhongguo be the oriole?
If Baili Chengyou really has the ability to keep the second prince here forever, then he doesn't mind helping Baili Chengyou secretly!
After all, this child of destiny is really hard to kill!
If he could kill him with the help of the "second male lead", although Qiao Zhongguo would inevitably be punished, the predicament of the prince and the Qiao family in Beijing would naturally be resolved!
During the day, Prince Baili pretended to be worried in front of him, saying that his subordinate A'er failed to arrive as expected.
If he guessed correctly, then A'er and the three hundred elite soldiers must have been hiding in the dark, waiting for the best opportunity!
At this point, Qiao Zhongguo had sorted out everything.
In this round, what the Qiao family has to do is to protect Meng Guxue, protect themselves, and then watch the second prince and Baili Chengyou fight each other!
The person who surprised Qiao Zhongguo the most was Meng Guxue.
He didn't expect that Meng Guxue would actually confront Baili Chengyou at this time in order to obtain six Nanli secret guards to protect the Qiao family.
In this way, he felt more confident of winning, after all, he, Qiao Zhongguo, also had helpers!
In a flash, the fierce bandits had already approached. Qiao Zhongguo brandished his long sword with great vigor. Although his limbs gradually became numb, it still could not stop him from taking the lead!
The six Nanli secret guards did their duty indeed, and together with the Qiao family army, they protected the wedding carriage while fighting and retreating!
On the other side, the Second Prince saw Qiao Diyi coming over, and there was no surprise on his face.
One always has to do some work to save face, and Qiao Zhongguo really did it perfectly!
He knew that Qiao Zhongguo must have seen through his plan, but it didn't matter. As long as there was no evidence, he would not be afraid even if Qiao Zhongguo told his father about it!
Furthermore, since Qiao Zhongguo had personally sent his beloved son to him, he would certainly not "let down" his kindness.
Qiao Diyi—just happened to be buried with Zhufeng!
Qiao Diyi had taken the Anti-Poison Pill, and the poison in his body was instantly dissipated. Now he was full of energy!
Of course, he had already used his internal energy to make himself sweat. He came to the Second Prince in a very embarrassed state and said breathlessly:
"Your Highness! Qiao Jia Erlang has come to protect Your Highness on the orders of my father!"
The second prince was also an old actor, leaning against the wall of the carriage with a pale face, muttering:
"Thank you for your kindness, Master Qiao. Look! Bandits! Those bandits are coming!"
The guards looked exhausted, but still gathered around dutifully.
Gui Yue supported the Second Prince with a worried look on his face. Just as he was about to shout at the Second Prince to retreat quickly, a pill was suddenly stuffed into his mouth by the Second Prince at lightning speed.
Gui Yue was startled and was about to ask in a low voice, but he felt the numbness in his limbs gradually subside and his strength returned!
"Your Highness!"
Guiyue cried out in shock.
The second prince winked at him and said in a low voice: "Guiyue, someone will escort me away in a while, you stay..."
Having said this, the Second Prince took a deep look at Qiao Diyi, who had his back to him, and continued:
"Make sure Qiao Diyi dies in the sword fight of the bandits!"
When Gui Yue heard this, his eyes widened.
This... this...
Isn’t Qiao Jia Erlang here to protect Your Highness?
Seeing that Guiyue was still confused, the Second Prince clenched his fists and said in a hoarse voice, "Guiyue, Zhufeng is dead. He was killed in the capital... by Qiao Tianjing!"
Gui Yue shuddered when he heard this, and suddenly lost his mind.
Master Feng... Master Feng is dead? How is that possible? That's Master Feng!
The Second Prince saw Gui Yue's unbelievable expression, and his heart ached even more. He said sternly:
"So, follow the order!"
At this time, the bandits had already rushed to the front. Gui Yue saw Qiao Diyi and the guards fighting desperately, and it seemed like they were having a very hard time.
His mind was in confusion, but he was certain of one thing: His Highness's orders must be carried out unconditionally!
This is the first rule that Master Feng taught them...
"I obey your orders!"
Gui Yue took the order with a trembling voice.
The second prince nodded and took advantage of the break in the fight to retreat.
At this moment, among the bandits who rushed up from the side, several of them suddenly took off their outer clothes, revealing a black nightgown with a golden auspicious cloud embroidered on their shoulders.
This was the mark agreed upon by the Second Prince and them.
"Your Highness, come this way!"
The second prince nodded and stepped back, his eyes looking straight back at Qiao Diyi who was almost surrounded by bandits.
He saw Guiyue wipe her tears with her sleeve, then rushed forward with sword in hand.
Gui Yue had recovered his strength at this time, and these bandits were nothing in his eyes.
The second prince saw Guiyue break through the encirclement of the bandits and come behind Qiao Diyi.
Qiao Diyi turned his head, showing a look of relief and gratitude, and said something to Guiyue.
The next moment, Gui Yue raised the knife and stabbed it straight into Qiao Diyi's heart!
Then, more and more bandits rushed forward, his vision was blocked, he only heard screams, and knew that everything was a foregone conclusion...
Qiao Diyi was poisoned and felt weak all over, while Gui Yue was in prime condition and caught him by surprise, so Qiao Diyi was doomed!
Even if Gui Yue's attack failed, the bandits' swords would kill Qiao Diyi, and perhaps, Qiao Diyi would die without a complete body!
Thinking of this, the Second Prince's mouth curled up slightly, and he strode away with the Northern Kingdom's assassins, and then his face was filled with bitterness again.
Even if Qiao Diyi died, Zhufeng would never come back...
The only consolation now is that Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjing can empathize with his pain at this moment!
The second prince had a sinister look on his face as he ran quickly towards the hillside not far away.
Wait a minute, he has already laid a tight net, he will kill Qiao Zhongguo with his own hands, and then return to Beijing to watch Qiao Tianjing suffer with his own eyes!
