Shen Yuanbai was such an insightful person, he did not doubt Jin Zhi's loyalty to him, so he immediately guessed Jin Zhi's thoughts.

Jin Zhi holds a high status in the Northern Kingdom. If we lose him, it will be difficult to implement our future plans!

Thinking of this, Shen Yuanbai gritted his teeth and walked down the slope, shouting: "Erlang, hold on, I'm going to find Master Qiao to help!"

Jin Zhi felt relieved when he saw Shen Yuanbai leave.

At this time, Guo Xiuyun's men had already emerged from the slope, and it was Deputy General Zuo who came in person to meet them.

Jin Zhi felt relieved, knowing that in front of everyone, Qiao Jia Erlang had no chance of harming His Highness' life, so he turned around and sprinkled a ball of white powder.

Qiao Diyi was eager for Jin Zhi to leave quickly, and when he saw him trying to escape, he immediately covered his mouth and nose and didn't even want to chase him!

Seeing that General Guo's men were about to arrive, Qiao Diyi immediately flew to Shen Yuanbai's side.

"Your Highness! Your shoulder!"

The dagger pierced Shen Yuanbai's shoulder, and his back was now stained with blood.

When Qiao Diyi saw this, he immediately frowned in pain.

He was not feeling sorry for Shen Yuanbai, but was feeling sorry that the blood did not flow into his bottle!

Shen Yuanbai was always on guard against Qiao Diyi. The two of them had now fallen into the sight of General Guo's men. He was sure that Qiao Diyi would not dare to kill the prince!

Unless he is not afraid of having his entire family executed!

Seeing Shen Yuanbai's unstoppable pace, Qiao Diyi thought that the Qiao family and the Second Prince had already fallen out, so he simply reached out and grabbed the Second Prince's arm, and said with a look of "concern":

"Your Highness, you have lost a lot of blood. You can't walk anymore! General Guo's men will be here soon. Let them carry you away!"

Qiao Diyi used a lot of strength to pull Shen Yuanbai, and he gasped in pain. His eyes went dark and blood gushed out from his shoulder!

"you!"

Shen Yuanbai was so angry and in so much pain that even his breathing became rapid.

The stab went straight through his shoulder, hitting his scapula and almost blocking half of his body.

He did not blame Jin Zhi, because this made it appear more realistic and only in this way could he gain the trust of his father!

"Your Highness, please hold on!"

When Qiao Diyi saw that Shen Yuanbai was already unsteady on his feet, he immediately cried out in horror.

He supported Shen Yuanbai's back with his right hand, and a bottle slid down from his sleeve. It had opened early and he gently placed it under the wound.

Qiao Diyi glanced sideways calmly and saw the bright red blood flowing into the bottle along the wall. As for how much, it was definitely more than one drop!

No matter how smart Shen Yuanbai was, he could not have expected that Qiao Diyi was here to get his blood!

The wound was extremely painful at this time, and Shen Yuanbai felt cold all over. He could not help but look anxiously at General Guo's men rushing towards him.

“Let…let go!”

Shen Yuanbai shouted angrily, and Qiao Diyi saw that it was almost time, so he quickly let go of Shen Yuanbai's arm with a look of "panic" on his face, and held the bottle firmly under his sleeve.

"Your Highness, I...Did Jilang make things worse?"

Qiao Diyi blinked his big "stupid" eyes and looked at Shen Yuanbai with an "at a loss" expression.

(??︿??)

Shen Yuanbai was so angry that he gnashed his teeth!

He and the Qiao family had already known each other's deeds for a long time, but they just hadn't exposed the relationship in public!

Qiao Diyi knew that he couldn't kill him, so he did this on purpose to disgust him!

Qiao Diyi was also worried that the shrewd Second Prince would discover his flaws, so he didn't dare to go too far and immediately stopped while he was ahead.

He raised his hand and shouted to the approaching men:

"Someone come quickly! The Second Prince is here! He's seriously injured!"

If the Second Prince wants to use a self-torture trick, then he will justify his merit in the rescue!

His Qiao family did not ignore the Second Prince, on the contrary, Qiao Diyi went through "untold hardships" to rescue the seriously injured Second Prince from the clutches of the Northern Bandits!

Deputy General Zuo hurried forward, and when he heard Qiao Diyi's call, his heart suddenly jumped.

When he saw the blood-stained collar of the Second Prince and the dagger on his shoulder, Deputy General Zuo turned pale with fright.

"Quick! Call the military doctor! And the spring stool! Bring it here quickly!"

Qiao Diyi heaved a sigh of relief as he watched everyone carry the second prince away in a well-trained and extremely efficient manner.

When there was no one around, he immediately melted the "unchanging" talisman into the bottle, carefully sealed the opening, and kept it close to his body.

By the time he came down the slope, the battle was over and General Guo and Baili Chengyou's men were cleaning up the battlefield.

Qiao Diyi couldn't find his father. After asking around, he found out that his father had already escorted the Second Prince and Meng Guxue to another place to rest.

When he rode over, Lieutenant General Zuo was reporting the situation on the battlefield to his father.

"Master Qiao, we have roughly figured it out. Those northern bandits are not very obvious. There are only about ten of them that can be spotted at a glance. The bandits have suffered heavy losses."

Qiao Zhongguo nodded and said in a deep voice: "Deputy General Zuo, please count them carefully and compile them into a book so that I can report the truth to His Majesty."

Deputy General Zuo quickly responded: "Of course."

Qiao Zhongguo knew clearly that the Deputy General Zuo in front of him was the loyal subordinate that Xiao Hongda had mentioned, so he was very gentle in his attitude.

"Deputy General Zuo, thank you for coming to our aid in time. How is General Guo doing these days?"

Upon hearing this, Deputy General Zuo immediately waved his hand and said, "I don't deserve your thanks, Lord Qiao! I have long heard of your great reputation, and I feel honored to finally meet you today."

"General Guo is extremely brave, energetic and radiant every day! By the way, here is a letter from General Guo to Mr. Qiao."

Qiao Zhongguo took the letter, and was very excited but he did not dare to show it. He just put the letter carefully in his pocket, and then said seriously:

"Deputy General Zuo, the bandits in the Baopiling Mountain have committed many evil deeds and committed countless murders. Why don't I go and discuss with the Third Prince and wipe out all of these bandits today!"

Upon hearing this, Deputy General Zuo’s eyes suddenly lit up.

"Master Qiao, it would be great if this were possible! Merchants in the southern border have long hated the bandits in the Baopiling Mountain. General Guo is having a headache over this problem!"

Qiao Zhongguo understood what he meant when he heard this, and patted Deputy General Zuo on the shoulder, "Then Deputy General Zuo, wait a moment, I will go talk to the Third Prince."

At this time, Qiao Zhongguo had already seen Qiao Diyi not far away. The father and son looked at each other from a distance, and Qiao Diyi showed an extremely honest smile.

Qiao Zhongguo felt relieved when he saw this.

Good boy, I’ll praise you later!

Qiao Zhongguo smiled, turned around and went to a makeshift tent.

"Your Highness, I have something important to discuss with you. Can you please come out and see me?"

A muffled groan was heard from inside the tent. After a while, Baili Chengyou opened the tent curtain with a gloomy face and walked out.

Qiao Zhongguo took the opportunity to take a quick look, and saw Meng Guxue sitting there with red eyes, rubbing her right wrist...
