When Ling Yun returned to the Cheng family with Xiaohu, a bloody battle had ended.
The Jinwu Guards suffered countless casualties, and the remaining 1,000 troops scattered and fled.
It was no wonder that they had lost so miserably. It was really because the Black-armored Guards had not been used to deal with ordinary armies since they were established.
They were one in a hundred and every one of them was a high-grade seedling.
When Wei Qing trained them, not only did he require them to be able to fight in groups like other soldiers, but he also required them to have stronger attacks and self-protection methods in a one-on-one situation.
The Black-armored General did not lead his troops to chase after them. Sir had long instructed them to guard the Cheng family and not chase after them.
The rest would be handed over to the Azure Dragon and Hidden Tiger tribes.
They could participate in the matters of the Southern Wilderness, but there was no need to expend too many troops.
The internal war in the Southern Wilderness would be resolved by their own people.
However, they had to take revenge for the Wei family. They had to reap the head of the Southern Wilderness King.
The Black-armored Guards were cleaning up the battlefield.
The battlefield was a little tragic. Ling Yun carried his little evil disciple into the Cheng family through the back door.
Seeing Xiaohu return, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Cheng Sang hugged the little fellow tightly.
Dahu and Erhu also surrounded him and hugged their brother tightly.
The two of them gave him their candied hawthorn.
Xiaohu sat in Cheng Sang’s arms and raised his chin proudly. “I want Dahu to feed me!”
Dahu fed him.
“I want Erhu!” Erhu had also fed him.
“Dahu massage my leg.”
“Erhu massage my leg!”
“Massage my back!”
“Knead my feet!”
Xiaohu ordered them around for a while before Dahu was finally angry.
“Young brat, are you done?”
Su Xiaoxiao returned to the Cheng family at noon.
Originally, it could have been earlier. She had fought outside the palace for a while. The battle was too intense. Yin Chongshan’s trusted guard was worried that he would implicate her and forcefully escorted her back.
The Black-armored General bowed to her. “Seventh Young Madam.”
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the Black-armored Guards who were cleaning up the battlefield and thought to herself that her second brother was indeed good at planning ahead. The King of the Southern Wilderness had sent people to attack the Cheng family.
From the looks of it, the King’s troops had suffered a crushing defeat.
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Are you alright? Are you injured?”
The Black-armored Guard said, “Some of our brothers are injured. Seventh
Young Madam, don’t worry. There are already medical officials treating them. On the other hand, Xiaohu was captured just now. I wonder if he’s frightened.”
“I’ll go take a look!”
Su Xiaoxiao quickly went to Cheng Sang’s courtyard.
Wei Liulang was dismantling the array formation in the courtyard to prevent the remaining mechanism from injuring others.
Ghostfear and Ling Yun were staring at each other as they sat opposite each other under the crabapple tree.
Yuchi Xiu sat on the roof in a carefree manner, holding a long sword in his hand. He was a Divine Lord.
“Where’s Xiaohu?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
“Asleep,” said Ghostfear.
Cheng Sang fell asleep with the three children while Mei Ji guarded the room.
Su Xiaoxiao entered the room to take a look and touched their foreheads.
Mei Ji said, “Don’t worry. Everyone is fine.” Su Xiaoxiao’s expression softened. “Was Xiaohu frightened?”
Mei Ji took a bite of corn cob. “He’s fine.”
Su Xiaoxiao still remembered that when the three little fellows first arrived at Apricot Flower Village, it was very easy for them to lose their sense of security. Now, they were indeed much better. Each of them was bolder than the other.
“How are you guys?” Su Xiaoxiao looked around. “Where’s Wei Ting?”
Mei Ji was puzzled. “He went to the palace to pick you up. Didn’t you meet him?”
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head. “No.”
In order to avoid the possible appearance of the imperial guards along the way, Yin Chongshan’s trusted guard brought her around and might have missed Wei Ting.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “He’s injured, but he’s still running around. Nothing will happen to me with the Saintess.”
Mei Ji said solemnly, “You’re not allowed to show off your love in front of Mei
Knock, knock, knock.
Ling Yun came to the door and knocked gently.
Su Xiaoxiao turned around and looked at him in a daze. “What’s wrong?”
Ling Yun said with a hint of grievance and resentment, “I’m hungry.”
He carried his little evil disciple and walked all the way. His stamina was exhausted.
After several hours of desperate resistance, the palace guards of the Southern Wilderness Palace finally lost.
The throne room was attacked.
The ministers trembled, afraid that the butcher knives of the two tribes would fall on them.
However, the two leaders did not hurt them at all. Instead, they went straight to the Chengde Hall of the King of the Southern Wilderness to capture the fake king alive.
The leader of the Ghost Shadow Guards came to the inner hall and reported to the King of the Southern Wilderness, “Your Majesty, the people of the Azure
Dragon and Hidden Tiger tribes have attacked. I’ll escort you and the Empress
Dowager out of the palace to hide for a while!”
The Empress Dowager, who was sitting far away by the window, said coldly, “If you want to escape, escape on your own. I won’t flee!”
She used the word “flee”.
The King of the Southern Wilderness’ suppressed anger finally erupted. He stood up and came to the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager turned around, unwilling to look at him.
The King of the Southern Wilderness clenched his fists tightly and sneered.
“Why? Your other son came back and acted like a filial son in front of you. Did you believe him?
The Empress Dowager said with widened eyes, “Shut up! Don’t slander your brother again!”
The King of the Southern Wilderness” eyes were filled with mockery. “Brother? I’m your son!”
The Empress Dowager scolded, “I think you’re crazy!”
The King of the Southern Wilderness gritted his teeth and said, “I went crazy because you drove me crazy! We’re both mother’s sons, but why was I the one who was abandoned back then? Just because I was born 15 minutes later, I deserve to be abandoned by my biological parents?”
This matter would forever hurt the Empress Dowager’s heart.
Her eyes turned red. “I didn’t want to do this back then…”
The King of the Southern Wilderness sneered. “You make it sound good, but didn’t you do it? All of you are doing it for your own selfish desires. You can even abandon your own son and brother.”
The Empress Dowager closed her eyes and suppressed her tears. “The previous emperor and I have let you down, but your brother didn’t do anything to let you down! He didn’t know that he had a younger brother at all! It’s all our fault…’
The King of the Southern Wilderness snorted and said, “Mother, do you want to hear what you said? He didn’t do anything to let me down. How should I make of what happened today?”
The two of them fought and claimed that the other party had changed.
The Empress Dowager looked at her son in a daze. It was unbelievable that he did not regret it at all.
She said bitterly, “You snatched your brother’s throne and imprisoned him until now. What’s wrong with him taking back everything that belongs to him? Back then, you kept telling me that your brother was dead and even said that before he died, he instructed you to take good care of me. You cried sincerely, and I believed you. I made you the King of the Southern Wilderness. I thought that perhaps this was your brother’s last wish because your brother is such a kind person. He told me more than once that you had suffered among the commoners and he wanted to compensate you with the rest of his life… I never expected that all of this was just your scheme! To think I gave birth to such a big ingrate!”
The King of the Southern Wilderness was furious and suddenly pulled out the sword on the shelf..
