Ye Qingwan felt that she was simply a poisonous milk. Whatever she feared would come true. The great devil stood in front of them with his sword drawn and his horse ready, looking very aggressive.
There were archers in front, behind, and above the canyon, surrounding them tightly. Not to mention that the old master was injured, even if he was not injured, the four of them could not escape.
The only one who has a chance to escape now is Ning Shaoqing.
Ye Qingwan secretly tugged at his sleeve: "Run away first and don't worry about us."
But Ning Shaoqing grabbed her wrist and said, "I'll take you with me."
"I can't leave." Ye Qingwan looked at the people all over the mountain. Not even a bird could fly out. He was carrying such a big living person. It would be strange if he could run away.
And if she runs away, what will happen to Qingqing and the old tutor?
"Then I won't leave either. We live and die together." For the first time, Ning Shaoqing was not so hesitant. If he couldn't leave, then he would fight. If one of the two sides had to fall today, it wouldn't necessarily be them.
"Are you stupid?" Ye Qingwan angrily knocked him on the forehead: "If you don't leave, who will help us get help?"
I really suspect that he is the kind of idiot who has read too many storybooks about living and dying together. It is obvious that they don't have to die, but he is so idiotic that he says, "I will not leave, I will die with you."
You must be crazy.
Being alive affects the sublimation of your feelings, right?
Ning Shaoqing was stunned, it seemed to make some sense.
So he handed the sword in his hand to her and said, "Okay, you have to find me. I will go back to find Xingmu now."
After saying that, he leaped lightly, stepped on the shoulders of the cavalrymen and ran quickly behind the canyon. His speed was as fast as lightning in the dark night, and it disappeared in a flash.
But before he completely left the canyon, Hu Li suddenly shouted, "If you run away, this Khan will kill Ning Qingqing."
Ben Khan could not kill Dayu's princess and envoy, but he could kill a man from the martial arts world.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Shaoqing, who had already run to the side, slammed on the brakes.
Is he threatening me?!
It's just outrageous!
Although he muttered this in his mind, his body still walked back obediently.
"No, there are three of us here. Why do you want to kill me alone?"
Ning Qingqing refused to take it anymore. This was clearly bullying.
After saying that, he felt something was wrong, so he hugged Ye Qingwan and said, "Of course, Wanwan can't be killed either."
When Ye Qingwan heard this, her silent gaze fell on the old tutor. What an unlucky child!
Hu Li glanced at her calmly and did not answer. Instead, he ordered: "Take the princess and others back and serve them carefully."
After saying that, he rode away first, and then the four of them, except Ye Qingwan, were shackled and sent to the cell.
Ye Qingwan was treated the best. She was locked in a tent with a circle of guards standing outside. There was also an iron net on the top of the tent, probably to prevent her from escaping.
Ye Qingwan: ...
Well prepared.
Ye Qingwan tried hard to pry the wires apart, but found that they didn't move at all. So she just put it directly into her mouth, and almost broke her teeth.
Damn, it’s actually solid.
After a while, Hu Li came in with a roasted rabbit and a pot of goat's milk. When he looked up, he saw Ye Qingwan standing on the beam, pulling the iron net with her hands and feet.
At this moment, Ye Qingwan had just put her mouth on it, and seeing Hu Li's leisurely expression, she silently put away her teeth, jumped down from it obediently, and laughed: "I'm a little hungry."
Hu Li raised his eyebrows, but did not expose her. Instead, he cooperated and said, "The princess has really good teeth."
Ye Qingwan: ...
"If the princess has no objection, we will get married tonight."
Ye Qingwan: ...
Brother, you lost the martial arts competition, why do you want to marry me?
Are you kidding me?
"What if I object?" Ye Qingwan asked timidly.
The scene where he punched through Bobojir Khan's chest was so shocking that she really couldn't forget it.
"Okay, since the princess has no objection, then this Khan will order people to start preparing." After saying this, Hu Li stood up and left.
Ye Qingwan: ...
Frankly speaking, it's really boring that you play dumb like this.
But the next second she chased after him, shouting at his back: "Hu Li Khan, I have body odor, it stinks, you can't stand it..."
Hu Li listened to the shouting behind him, not knowing whether to cry or laugh. It was quite interesting to think that Dayu, a country known for its etiquette, would have such a rebellious monarch.
After leaving the tent, he walked straight to the cell, ignoring the two cells in front of him where Ning Shaoqing and Ning Qingqing were imprisoned, and went straight to Liu Sheng's cell.
Liu Sheng looked up and saw him, revealing a faint smile: "It seems that Hu Li Khan has recovered well."
"Recovered?" Hu Li smiled a little coldly: "Thanks to Master Liu, this Khan's Qi Sea is completely destroyed. I will never be able to lift a sword weighing more than 50 kilograms in my lifetime."
Liu Sheng disagreed: "Then we should congratulate the Khan even more for giving up minor courage and cultivating major courage."
"Mencius said, 'To be brave and aggressive, to endanger one's parents, is one of the five unfilial acts. This is minor bravery. The greatest bravery is the courage of reason and justice to stand up for the national security and the interests of the people. Only in this way can the people live in peace and the country be strong.'"
When Hu Li heard this, he was stunned at first, then he lowered his head to think carefully about what he said and felt that it made a lot of sense.
but……
Hu Li frowned: "You mean, I should thank you for destroying my Qi Sea and turning me into a useless person, so that I can lose my Xiaoyong and cultivate Dayong?"
Liu Sheng smiled calmly, as if he was not surprised by praise or criticism: "You are too polite, Hu Li Khan. It is just a small favor, no need to thank me."
Hu Li was so angry that his face turned black: "Aren't you afraid that this Khan will kill you?"
"I guess Hu Li Khan won't." Liu Sheng was very sure. If he wanted to kill, he would have done it in the canyon. He would kill people and dump the bodies. Probably no one in this life would know where they died.
Why bring it back and then do it again, leaving only an evidence?
He brought them back for only one reason, which was to marry Dayu's princess.
He was strong enough, and his prestige in the grassland tribes far exceeded that of Tuoba Xiong, who had just taken office. He could even be compared with the then Great Khan Yanli. The only shortcoming was that he was not born in a high family and did not have a powerful family like the Tuoba family as a backer.
Therefore, he was unable to provide security to the tribal leaders who were willing to submit, causing them to waver. Therefore, he only wanted to marry Dayu, and Dayu's status as the Marquis of the County was his most powerful backer.
His ambition was so big that he didn't care about his destroyed qi sea.
Although Hu Li was angry that Liu Sheng had destroyed his Qi Sea, he really liked people like Liu Sheng who were scheming and resourceful. In particular, Liu Sheng's ability and courage to plan and win battles thousands of miles away were exactly what he needed.
"When I marry the princess, Lord Liu can also stay in my tribe and serve me."
Liu Sheng smiled and said, "Then you have to marry her first."
