Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Xiao Zeyu’s black eyes were filled with killing intent. He immediately ordered his soldiers. Speed was the most essential thing in war. Only by catching them off guard could they win. The Northern Barbarian soldiers would never have dreamed that they would discover a spy today and a large army would be at their border at night.

While Xiao Zeyu went to the battlefield to gather his troops, Yelu Chun got up and left the city to mobilize his troops. When he left, he saw Xiaoying cooking with a few women in the outer room. His gaze could no longer accommodate anyone else. He strode over to Xiaoying and said,

“Xiaoying, I’m going to war.”

Xiaoying had already heard their conversation from the outer room. Her clear eyes were filled with worry. At this moment, thousands of words were condensed into one sentence.

“Be careful.”

Seeing the worry in Xiaoying’s eyes, Yelu Chun chuckled. His deep eyes did not hide his love, and his voice was confident.

“Don’t worry, I will return triumphantly.

“Yes.”

Xiaoying boldly met his gaze and understood the deep affection in his eyes. She nodded vigorously.

“I’ll cook delicious food and wait for you… When you have returned

triumphantly.”

Xiao Zeyu pulled Yelu Chun along and left. ‘This guy couldn’t stand it and immediately seduced Xiaoying.’ As Yelu Chun walked, he even turned around and waved at Xiaoying with a smile. He looked like a husband going to the battlefield and bidding farewell to his wife at home.

After sending off Big Brother and Yelu Chun, Xiaoying took a deep breath. They would win the war. She had to make more delicious food for them. When they returned from the war, they could eat hot food.

“Big brother, I’ll go too.”

Zhong Yong waited outside the door. He still remembered his big brother’s words. He could follow him to the battlefield to kill the enemies in the future.

“Alright.”

Xiao Zeyu patted Zhong Yong’s shoulder, agreeing to allow him to follow to fight the Northern Barbarians.

Su Qing and the others had returned quickly and had only stayed for a short period, so Xiao Zeyu still didn’t know about the matter between Zhong Yong and Jiang Yuyan.

When Jiang Yuyan returned with injuries, her family brought her home. As a young lady, Jiang Yuyan was too embarrassed to discuss her relationship with Zhong Yong. She had separated from Zhong Yong after returning from the Northern Barbarians. The young lady kept thinking about what Zhong Yong had said. She was in a mess, hoping that Zhong Yong would come to her house to propose marriage, but she was also worried that he would say those words to make her happy because he saw that she was in danger.

Women in love were like this…

Su Qing wore her armor and rode on the big black horse majestically as if she had returned to when she was the Goddess of War. Xiao Zeyu also changed into his military uniform. The couple took a thousand elite soldiers and left Mo City. Yelu Chun led the Tartan soldiers and followed closely behind. The pitch-black night was the best cover. With the topographic map, the Northern Barbarians’ proud barrier was useless. The army soon arrived at the border. When the Northern Barbarian soldiers discovered it, they hurriedly lit the Cloud Piercing Arrow to alert the people. However, the arrow was shot down by Xiao Zeyu’s arrow as soon as it rose.

“Kill them.”

With a single word filled with killing intent, the Xiao Family Army and the Tartan soldiers rushed into the border of the Northern Barbarians like a surging tide. They slaughtered and killed as if they had entered an uninhabited land, and the Xiao Family Army instantly occupied the border.

Xiao Zeyu had Yelu Chun to guard the retreat route. According to the map, he and Su Qing led the Xiao Family Army straight in and found the Northern Barbarians’ camp. The poor Northern Barbarians were killed in their sleep. The Northern Barbarians who woke up wanted to fight back, but it was too late. The thousands of soldiers in the camp were turned into a mess.

When the Northern Barbarian Palace received the news, the Xiao Family Army had already taken control of the camp. Xiao Zeyu left Zhong Yong to guard the camp while he and Su Qing led the troops to the Northern Barbarian Palace. The Emperor of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom had just accompanied his beloved concubine to bed. Halfway through his happy deed, he heard the sound of fighting. The old man was so frightened that he immediately rolled off the bed The eunuch came over to help him put on his clothes. The hall door was kicked open before he could put on his clothes. The Xiao Family Army seemed to have descended from the sky. The Emperor of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom was so frightened that he sat on the ground. He no longer had the dignity of an emperor.

Xiao Zeyu and Su Qing strode into the inner hall. The concubines were so frightened they pulled on their quilts to protect themselves and screamed. The Northern Barbarian Emperor was so scared that he was trembling. His face was as white as paper as he looked at Xiao Zeyu, who had appeared from thin air in disbelief.

“Have you received my challenge?”

Xiao Zeyu sneered at the Northern Barbarian Emperor and announced domineeringly,

‘■I told you, you must pay the price for attacking Mo City. The Northern Barbarians are now mine.”

■■I surrender. Can we make peace? The Northern Barbarians were willing to pay tribute every year.”

The Northern Barbarian Emperor’s face was ashen. He had once been high and mighty, but now, his knees were weak as he knelt before Xiao Zeyu.

He hated the Taoist Master to the core. Initially, the Northern Barbarian Kingdom had been aloof from worldly affairs and did not want to attack Mo City It was because they had listened to the Taoist Master’s words that they attacked Mo City and brought disaster to the Northern Barbarian Kingdom.

“Where’s your Taoist master?”

Su Qing asked coldly. Other than taking revenge and expanding their territory, they had to capture Qiu Yongkang. This villain had to be eliminated as soon as possible.

She didn’t think that the Celestial Master was Qiu Yongkang, but she felt he must know where Qiu Yongkang was. That was why they had to find the Taoist Master when they attacked the Northern Barbarians.

“I’ll send someone to take you there. Little Wang offended your country because he listened to the instigation of the Taoist master.” When he heard that Su Qing was looking for the Celestial Master, the Northern Barbarian Emperor immediately ordered someone to take them to the Celestial Master’s yurt. He pushed the blame for attacking the Northern Barbarians to the Celestial Master, hoping that Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu would spare him.

Xiao Zeyu ordered people to tie up the emperor. There was no reason to return the territory that was taken. ‘Wait until you grow stronger before you hit me?’ It was better to confiscate them. The wealth and lambs of the Northern Barbarians would all belong to Mo City. This was the price they had to pay for attacking Mo City.

Xiao Zeyu and Su Qing followed the eunuchs from the palace to the yurt. When they led their troops into the yurt, they did not see the heavenly master who had provoked the Northern Barbarian Emperor.

“Where is he?”

Xiao Zeyu sternly asked the personal guard of the Taoist Master. The incense burner was still emitting smoke, so he shouldn’t have gone far. “The heavenly master said he wanted to go to the pill refining room. The two guards trembled in fear and answered honestly. Xiao Zeyu frowned and asked,

“How long has he been gone?”

“An hour.”

The two guards hurriedly replied. They did not dare to hide anything. In the past, they worshipped the Taoist Master as a god. However, because of his mistake this time, the Northern Barbarian Kingdom was destroyed. They also hated the Taoist Master and did not want to hide anything from him.

“Where is the pill room? Lead the way.”

Xiao Zeyu asked the guard to lead the way to the pill refining room. He had to capture this heavenly master; only then could he find Qiu Yongkang. The two guards took Xiao Zeyu to the alchemy room. Su Qing stayed in the Taoist master’s yurt. When she entered, she smelled the smell of smoke in the air. She was a little curious. Why did the Taoist master use smoke in the yurt? This yurt was not big, but inner and outer rooms were also there. She walked towards the inner room.

The inner room was the place where the Taoist Master slept. It was not a prominent place. There was only a bed and a wooden table. There was no one in the room.

Su Qing ordered the Xiao Family Army to search the room,

“Let’s look for him.”

When the soldiers were searching, Su Qing walked out and asked the servant who served the Taoist master,

“Has anyone been here?”

“There’s a Han the Celestial Master is furious with and wants to use to refine pills..”
