Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu sped back to Mo City three days later. They could see the black smoke billowing from afar as they sped forward.
As they got closer, they could hear loud shouts. The Northern Barbarians were nomadic like the Tartans. Their weapons were sharp scimitars. Everyone was good at archery and riding horses. Their folk customs were fierce.
It was as if they were not afraid of death. When the soldiers in front died in battle, the soldiers behind them became even more valiant. They were also tall and burly and ate beef and mutton all year round, so they were much stronger than the Central Plainsmen.
They were all wearing jackets made of sheepskin, hats with bird feathers on their heads, and animal skins around their waists. Their skin was black and red, and they were excited when they fought.
Under the leadership of Old General Cheng Yu, the Xiao Family’s Army of Mo
City killed the enemies bravely, and none of them cowered in the face of the mighty Northern Barbarians.
Yan Shikuang and his men guarded the city gate that had been blown open.
This battle was extremely intense and had already entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat. There was no room for any mishaps. They had to guard the city gate well.
Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu arrived at this time. The two of them rushed into the Northern Barbarian army with their swords and chopped off the heads of the Northern Barbarian soldiers as if they were chopping watermelons.
Xiao Zeyu fought out of the Northern Barbarian Army and looked for that familiar figure. It was time to settle the score between him and Qiu Yongkang.
He saw the general of the Northern Barbarians. He was a tall and robust Northern Barbarian, not Qiu Yongkang. He was commanding his soldiers to charge at the city gate. His voice was loud and clear, and he held two giant axes. He looked like he was stronger than others.
Xiao Zeyu turned his horse around and rushed towards the Northern Barbarian General. Before he could reach him, he saw a tall figure riding a warhorse in front of the Northern Barbarian General.
Xiao Zeyu focused his gaze and saw that it was Zhong Yong. Zhong Yong’s strength was also extraordinary and was on par with this Northern Barbarian General. However, Xiao Zeyu was still worried. Uncle Zhong and their Godmother had passed away, and the Zhong family only had Zhong Yong’s bloodline left. Xiao Zeyu did not want Zhong Yong to take the risk unless it was a last resort. He rode over to protect Zhong Yong.
But he was worried too much. Zhong Yong was courageous. He swung the pair of axes that Su Qing made for him like a tiger. Anyone who got close to him would feel a sharp wind blowing against their faces, and they were filled with killing intent.
The Northern Barbarian General did not dare to underestimate Zhong Yong when he saw his power. He waved the two axes in his hands and fought with
Zhong Yong.
The two of them were too strong, and the sound of their weapons colliding was deafening. Sparks flew everywhere, and the fight was very intense.
Xiao Zeyu helped Zhong Yong kill off the Northern Barbarian generals who wanted to ambush him. Su Qing fought her way back to Mo City. When the Xiao Family Army saw Su Qing return, they were energized and shouted.
Cheng Yu’s battle robe was stained with blood. The old man was old. Although he was a hero, his physical strength was limited. It was difficult for him to defend the city for too long. When he saw Su Qing, it was as if he had found his backbone. He said excitedly to her,
-Su Qing, it’s good that you and the young master are back.”
“Uncle Cheng, you’ve worked hard. Why didn’t you use the grenade I left for you?”
Su Qing nodded and asked about the grenade. She left the grenade with Cheng
Yu before she left to prevent any accidents.
“I’ve already used it.”
Cheng Yu felt a little ashamed as he spoke. The Northern Barbarians were too cunning. They had created a huge killing vehicle to attack the city. The explosive power was extreme. When he saw the vehicle, he ordered them to throw grenades. In the end, only the first vehicle was real. The rest were fake attacks. They waited until they ran out of grenades before using the real vehicle to blow up the city.
After listening to Cheng Yu’s report, Su Qing felt that the person who could come up with this scheme must be Qiu Yongkang. This person was cunning and knew how to make a great killing weapon. Both of these factors matched.
Cheng Yu was old, and his brain would slow down as he got older. That was why he fell into Qiu Yongkang’s trap.
-Let’s not talk about this first. Let’s beat back the enemy.”
The battlefield was not a place to discuss right and wrong. Su Qing turned around and charged into the battlefield. She used her War God ability. The Northern Barbarian soldiers saw that she was brave and bold. Then, they saw that Zhong Yong was beating back their commander. Xiao Zeyu was killing at the back of the army, and Su Qing attacked from both sides. How could this be good?
“Retreat!”
The commander of the Northern Barbarian soldiers saw that the situation was not good. Under the leadership of Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu, the Xiao Family Army’s battle cries shook the sky. If this continued, none of them could return to the Northern Barbarians. He ordered the soldiers to blow the retreat horn quickly.
The Northern Barbarian soldiers retreated like a collapsing mountain. None of them had the will to fight anymore. They ran back.
Since they’re here, how could they go back?
Su Qing stopped the Xiao Family’s army and told them to return to defend the city. She rode alone to chase after the Northern Barbarian soldiers. Xiao Zeyu saw her and rushed over to protect her. He saw Su Qing take out a grenade and immediately understood what Su Qing wanted to do.
He took two grenades and threw them together with Su Qing. The Northern Barbarian soldiers were in trouble. Countless people were killed and injured. Their arms and legs flew everywhere, and their bodies were covered in blood.
The commander of the Northern Barbarian soldiers wanted to run, but Zhong Yong did not give him a chance. The two axes danced around tightly, trapping the commander of the Northern Barbarian soldiers. Seeing that he could not escape, he could only fight Zhong Yong to the death.
Seeing that his soldiers were all killed by Su Qing, the Northern Barbarian general screamed angrily. He was also in a mess. Zhong Yong’s axe chopped off half of his shoulder. He fell off his horse in pain and was captured by the Xiao Family Army.
Yan Shikuan was gratified to see Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu’s strength. With such an unbeatable Young Master and Madam, what was there to worry about. Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu bombarded the Northern Barbarian soldiers. Ultimately, the remaining Northern Barbarian soldiers did not dare to run anymore. They all abandoned their weapons and surrendered, hoping to survive.
The Xiao Family Army went over and tied them all up. Every one of them was incredibly awesome. Their eyes were filled with pride and passion as they escorted the dejected Northern Barbarian soldiers. The defeated side and the victorious side formed a stark contrast.
Leaving behind a portion of soldiers to clean up the battlefield, Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu entered the city with Yan Shikuan and Cheng Yu accompanying them. The citizens of Mo City were like frightened birds; the streets were empty.
Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu went straight into the government office. Xing Ruhai saw that they had returned and hurriedly came over to welcome them. He said excitedly,
“Young Master, Young Madam, you’re finally back.”
“It’s alright now.”
Xiao Zeyu nodded his head and comforted him before turning to Cheng Yu and saying,
“Uncle Cheng, I’ll have to trouble you to bring the soldiers to repair the city gate.”
“Alright
Cheng Yu saw that the young master didn’t blame him, so he carried out the order with shame in his eyes.
Xiao Zeyu then said to Yan Shikuan,
“Uncle Yan, you should rest before returning to Jingshi Dao. I’m worried about the safety there.”
“Yes, Young Master.”
Yan Shikuan cupped his fists and agreed. He had only brought his troops here because the situation was urgent. However, it was taboo for a general to leave his post without permission. He was very touched that the young master did not reprimand him.
After settling the military matters, Xiao Zeyu and Su Qing prepared to interrogate the captured Northern Barbarian commander. His injuries were severe, and the military doctor was treating him. This kid was not grateful and kept cursing in the Northern Barbarian language..
