Ye Qingwan agreed to Hu Li's request, and Hu Li immediately organized his troops and attacked the Ya tent at full speed.

The fighting has already started in the northern border. Xiao Ning's army of nearly 600,000 is advancing at full speed, using bows, crossbows, and ladders one by one.

The soldiers from the northern border poured kerosene on the city walls, threw stones, shot arrows, and used every possible means.

But the other side had a large number of people and they pressed forward regardless of their lives.

Seeing that their human wave tactics were about to work, the Ninth Prince suddenly turned around and came down from the city wall. Then he led 10,000 elite soldiers, opened the city gate and rushed out.

"Cut down all their ladders." The Ninth Prince gave the order, and ten thousand people rushed towards the ladders in an instant.

"Shoot." As soon as Xiao Ning saw him coming out, he immediately ordered to shoot indiscriminately.

In an instant, arrows rained down like rain on the bottom of the city wall. Tuoba Xiong looked at the grassland warriors falling one after another, his throat choked.

The Ninth Prince chopped off the arrow that flew towards him with a sword, stared angrily at Xiao Ning in the crowd, and suddenly turned his horse's head and rushed towards Xiao Ning.

To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. As long as he kills Xiao Ning, the grassland people will retreat immediately.

But he had just taken a few steps when an arrow flew directly towards his forehead. But when it hit his ear, it was knocked down by another arrow.

He turned his head and saw the Prime Minister on the city wall shouting at him with a worried look on his face: "Ninth Prince, come back soon."

But the Ninth Prince just smiled at the Prime Minister and did not look back. He continued to rush forward and took a bow and arrow from the horse behind him. While rushing towards Xiao Ning, he shot arrows to kill those who stood in front of him.

He even shot an arrow at Xiao Ning, but because the distance was too far, it only shot off Xiao Ning's bun, and his hair fell down instantly.

Xiao Ning stared angrily at the Ninth Prince who was still approaching rapidly, and gritted his teeth and said, "Kill him."

In an instant, a whole group of archers ran out quickly from both sides and shot arrows at the Ninth Prince. After the first row, they immediately squatted down and shot the second row. After the second row, they shot the third row.

The Ninth Prince dodged the rain of arrows with agility, but his horse could not and was shot dead by an arrow, and he was immediately thrown to the ground.

At this time, Xiao Ning took out the bow and arrow and aimed it at the Ninth Prince. It's time to settle the blood feud of our Xibe people.

Section 131

As he was about to shoot, the arrow was caught by a hand just before it left the string. Before Xiao Ning could even see who was coming, he was grabbed by the shoulder and thrown out, falling heavily on the battlefield in front.

"Ana." Tuoba Xiong rushed out nervously.

At this time, Ye Qingwan rushed out on horseback from the other side, leaned down from a distance and stretched out his hand towards the Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince was lying on his side on the ground, looking at her coming towards him against the wind, and was dumbfounded for a moment.

"What are you daydreaming about? Give me your hand." Ye Qingwan yelled at him, and he finally reacted. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he was grabbed. The other party exerted force and pulled him from the ground to the horse's back.

He held her waist and rushed all the way to the city gate. While he was rushing to Ye Qingwan, he turned back and taunted Xiao Ning: "Queen Mother Xiao Ning, your home is gone. Go back and take a look."

Just as Tuoba Xiong helped Xiao Ning onto the horse, he saw that half of the sky behind the army was illuminated red. There was a fire. It was from the direction of the yamen. Someone was attacking their yamen? !

"Ana, look quickly."

Xiao Ning fell and was covered in mud, and her bones felt like they were broken. But when she saw the fire in the tent, she was so frightened that she forgot the pain: "It's Hu Li, quickly, withdraw the troops and go back to the tent to help."

At the command, the grassland army immediately turned around and evacuated. It didn't matter whether it was in the northern border or not. Once they lost their tents, 600,000 people would be like rootless duckweed, homeless.

Without territory and food, no matter how many people there are, they are just a burden and can only wander between the grassland and the northern border, and eventually starve to death.

They retreated quickly, hundreds of thousands of troops rumbling away like a herd of mad cattle.

Ye Qingwan and the others returned to the city, and the Prime Minister and Liu Sheng personally opened the door and came out.

"Dad." Ye Qingwan walked over and saw that his father's body was covered with wounds.

"It's okay. Dad is in good health. Back then, he was also a great general who swept across the grasslands."

The Prime Minister was very happy, not only did he survive the disaster, but he also got to defend the northern border.

It had been many years since he had been to the battlefield and fought a war. Although this battle was thrilling, it made him regain the young man he was full of vigor and vitality.

"You went to look for Hu Li?"

Ye Qingwan didn't dare to admit it, but she didn't dare to lie to her father, so she could only nod reluctantly.

"Was it your idea to set fire to the dental tent?" The Prime Minister would not allow her to cover up anything and got to the bottom of it.

Ye Qingwan nodded silently and was about to say, "Dad, don't be angry. I will never dare to do it again."

But she didn't expect her father to be so happy and proud and said, "Well, you are worthy of being my daughter, Ye Chengfeng. You have not brought shame to our Ye family's ancestors."

Ye Qingwan was stunned. Dad, are you so mad at me that you become stupid?

Why did his temperament suddenly change? Wasn't he the most self-disciplined and polite person before?

The Prime Minister was very happy and did not have time to explain to her. He ordered his men to clean up the battlefield and then rewarded everyone according to their merits.

Ye Qingwan was completely confused by him, so she could only stealthily tug at the old master's clothes and ask him, "What happened to my father?"

Liu Sheng smiled and said, "Liberate your nature."

Ye Qingwan:? ?

"Do you know why your father is called Ye Chengfeng?"

Ye Qingwan shook her head. Why is he called Ye Chengfeng? My father's father gave him the name. Could it be that Ye Chengfeng has some other meaning?

"Have you ever heard this line of poetry? Wild geese fly on the wind, going wherever they want."

Ye Qingwan:? ?

What's the meaning?

After thinking for a moment, she suddenly realized: "Just like a wild goose, soaring into the sky?"

So my father was originally like this, but he was in the government and had no choice but to restrain his youthful spirit and become a steady and dignified prime minister.

Seeing her look like she had never seen the world, Liu Sheng couldn't help but want to laugh: "Thirty years ago, your father was the brightest young man in Kyoto. Otherwise, why do you think the princess insisted on marrying your father?"

Yes, my father is a man that even princesses are vying to marry.

The key point is that my father didn't like her and planned to send her to a foreign country to marry.

Oh, my dad's damn charm.

"You went to see Hu Li and agreed to his conditions." Liu Sheng put away his smile and asked her very seriously.

Ye Qingwan was stunned, looked at him silently, and then shook her head silently: "No."

Liu Sheng changed his usual gentle attitude and looked at her without saying a word.

Ye Qingwan felt uncomfortable being looked at by her and quickly tried to change the subject: "Oh, I have a headache."

As he said this, he covered his head and wanted to leave, but was pulled back by Liu Sheng.

Their eyes met, and he refused to give in.

As expected, this is the old tutor’s personality. I was almost fooled by his handsome appearance and gentle smile.
