Chapter 425: Chapter 425. Unexpectedly
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ji Shuisheng was leading the charge. Behind him was the Third Prince of Tartan, Yeluchun, who had brought the elite soldiers of Tartan to support Su Qing.
With Ji Shuisheng and Yeluchun leading the troops into the battle, the previously outnumbered state became evenly matched, and the two sides began a life-and-death struggle.
As Ji Shuisheng killed the soldiers of the Haza Kingdom, he looked for Su Qing’s figure and called out her name loudly.
“Qing’er, where are you?”
“I’m here.”
Su Qing whipped Heihe Zhengji and dragged him behind his horse. He turned around and shouted at Ji Shuisheng. He swung his spear and killed another group of Haza soldiers blocking his way. The massacre was like a god of slaughter, scaring the fearless Haza soldiers. No one would dare stop him as long as Su Qing came over.
They could only watch as Su Qing dragged away their family’s General like a dog, and those who came to save him were all killed by Su Qing. They could not even touch him.
Heihe Zhengji never thought that he would have such a day. The pain of being dragged by the woman he looked down on the most was light, but dragging him in front of his soldiers was such a humiliation that he wished he could crawl into a crack in the ground.
“Qing’er, are you alright?”
Ji Shuisheng rushed in front of Su Qing and nervously looked her up and down. Didn’t they agree to stall them until he brought reinforcements? Why did they start fighting?
“I’m fine. This is the General of the Haza Kingdom.”
Su Qing shook her head at Ji Shuisheng and used her whip to throw Heihe Zhengji in front of Ji Shuisheng’s horse. She used a lot of strength this time, causing Heihe Zhengji to see stars and his internal organs to shift.
The situation was hopeless. Heihe Zhengji wanted to get up and escape, and the border was right in front of him. If he ran into it, he would be safe.
However, less than a mile distance was like a thousand mountains and ten thousand rivers to him. No matter what, he could not return.
The brave and good at fighting soldiers of Tartan and Haza were evenly matched. Both sides were shouting and killing each other. However, because their commander was captured, the soldiers of Haza lost their fighting spirit. How could they win the battle if their army lost their fighting spirit? Soon, they were surrounded and chased by the Tartan soldiers. They were defeated like a mountain. They only wanted to return to their own country but couldn’t. These 1,000 soldiers were surrounded and killed by the Xiao family’s army led by Ji Shuisheng and the Tartan soldiers led by the Third Prince. The white snow was dyed red with blood, and the Haza Kingdom suffered heavy casualties.
Being surrounded and killed in his territory was something the Emperor of the Haza Kingdom had never expected. It was also his wrong decision that had caused the Haza Kingdom to fall into eternal damnation.
Thank you, Miss Su.
Yeluchun rode his horse to Su Qing and cupped his fists in thanks.
He had been attacking the Haza Kingdom for some time now. Because this Heihe Zhengji was too brave, they suffered repeated defeats on the battlefield. His father had clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with him.
A marriage alliance could have saved them from the blade tribulation, but Yeluchun disagreed. He even said he would sneak attack the Haza Country during the wedding, but they were already prepared.
Yeluchun told his father that the other party was already prepared to attack Tartan during the wedding ceremony. The marriage was just a pretense, and their ultimate goal was to launch a sneak attack on Tartan.
No matter how Yeluchun tried to explain, the old Emperor stubbornly believed that it was because he was unwilling to be honest with the two countries that they became enemies, which distressed Yeluchun.
He did not expect Ji Shuisheng and Su Qing to give him such a big gift today. This was the most significant victory that Tartan had ever achieved since the war between the two countries. He had captured Heihe Zhengji alive and would then pursue and attack the Haza Kingdom. His father would be overjoyed. “Third Prince, please!”
Su Qing made a gesture to invite Yeluchun to lead a large group of people to attack the Haza Kingdom. Today, she was going to destroy this bold and arrogant country.
“Qing’er.”
Ji Shuisheng rode his horse to Su Qing, and they smiled at each other.
This matter was a scheme set by Jingshi Dao. Chu Jingfeng had touched Su Qing’s reverse scale, so she would not let go of his loved ones who had hurt her.
For safety’s sake, she found a soldier of the same height and build as Chu Jingfeng, took a disguise pill, and disguised him as Chu Jingfeng. He took advantage of the fact that the two countries were fighting fiercely to give the Tartan Kingdom a favor. She would let the Haza Kingdom suffer the consequences without moving a single soldier.
Although this plan was risky, Su Qing was skilled and bold. She didn’t care about the Haza Country at all. Ji Shuisheng originally wanted Su Qing to go and report, but because Luan Hong was Su Qing’s cousin, it might be a failure without her to delay the enemy’s army. Under Su Qing’s insistence, he let her send the fake Chu Jingfeng to the border of the Haza Country.
After saving Luan Hong, they no longer needed to stay here. Otherwise, they would be helping Tartan attack the Haza Kingdom!
Su Qing bandaged the wounds of the injured soldiers. There were no wars that didn’t kill people. Out of the hundred Xiao Family Army soldiers they brought, five died, four were seriously injured, and more than half had light injuries.
“Not one less.”
Ji Shuisheng ordered the soldiers to bring all the soldiers who had died back to Jingshi Dao. The heavily injured soldiers took Su Qing’s medicine, and their injuries became lighter, but Ji Shuisheng still let them sit in the carriage and return.
This carriage had been stolen from the Haza Kingdom. It was not as comfortable as the carriage they had brought from Jingshi Dao, but it was still better than riding a horse. Ji Shuisheng helped the injured into the carriage and was very considerate of them.
The wounded sighed at the Young Master’s benevolence and righteousness. They secretly vowed to follow the Young Master to death.
The journey back to Jingshi Dao was smooth. It was calm, and the sky was clear!
After returning to the city, Su Qing brought Luan Hong to the military camp and interrogated Chu Jingfeng. She asked her to hide behind the screen to hear who Chu Jingfeng was.
Luan Hong still felt that Chu Jingfeng was good and that Su Qing had misunderstood him.
Su Qing didn’t say much to her and let her hear what kind of person Chu Jingfeng was with her ears.
“Men, bring Chu Jingfeng here.”
Ji Shuisheng fully supported Su Qing’s decision and ordered people to escort Chu Jingfeng to the main tent.
Soon, the soldiers brought Chu Jingfeng out of the dungeon. After being imprisoned for so long, he suddenly saw the sun. Chu Jingfeng looked up at the sky and smiled confidently.
It seemed that he had made the right move. Thinking that his plan had succeeded, Chu Jingfeng was in high spirits.
The soldiers pushed Chu Jingfeng into the main tent. Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng sat behind the table, watching Chu Jingfeng being pushed in.
Chu Jingfeng was in a sorry state after being detained for so long. His face was pale, but his hair was still combed meticulously. Even if he did not change his clothes for a long time, he still had to straighten them out. He still paid attention to his appearance.
“Chu Jingfeng, do you know why I brought you here?”
Ji Shuisheng looked at Chu Jingfeng, who was being pushed into the tent, with a cold and deep gaze.
The current Ji Shuisheng was no longer the boorish man from the Peach Blossom Cove. He perfectly hid all his emotions, and his eyes were so domineering that they made people fear him.
Chu Jingfeng raised his eyebrows and looked at his love rival. The corners of his mouth curled up into a disdainful smile.
“I am the prince of the Haza Kingdom. Are you qualified to interrogate me?”
Hiding behind the screen, Luan Hong heard Chu Jingfeng’s voice and subconsciously wanted to rush out to see him..
