First Lady of the Crown Prince

Chapter 865 The Strongest Black Wind King! (Second update)

Gu Jiao and Xuanyuan Qi were riding together, so it was inconvenient to hold the child. She was afraid that a sudden brake would crush the child into a meat pie.

"Old Tang, here." Gu Jiao handed the child to Tang Yueshan.

Tang Yueshan stretched out his arms, wishing he could take the child as far away as possible: "Can I refuse?"

Gu Jiao raised her chin and said proudly: "No!"

Tang Yueshan looked at Xuanyuan Qi, who was like a ghost king in the mountain, and accepted his fate and carried the child on his body.

It's okay. I'm about to have a godson. Although my godson doesn't practice martial arts, he has a bright mind. Wait until I rescue my godson and let him deal with you big and small demons!

Tang Yueshan thought confidently, feeling that life was wonderful!

They thought of two plans for leaving the city. One was to disguise themselves as merchants or common people and sneak out, but this option was abandoned as soon as they arrived in the city.

The reason was that martial law was actually enforced in the city. There were twice as many Jin troops on patrol, and Jin troops could be seen on every street.

Gu Jiao thought: Has the incident about the ghost mountain reached the city lord's palace? They thought we had escaped from Ghost Mountain, so they suddenly stepped up their guard to prevent us from leaving the city?

No matter what, if the situation becomes tense like this, it will basically be impossible to get out of the city gate.

 Then we can only implement the second plan.

"You guys, wait here." Xuanyuan Qi said.

Gu Jiao and Tang Yueshan nodded.

Xuanyuan Qi jumped up and disappeared into the night.

About half an hour later, he came back carrying a big baggage, which contained three sets of warm Jin army armor, as well as their talismans and identity plates.

“I don’t know Jin characters. What name is written on it?” Gu Jiao muttered.

“Don’t look at me, I don’t know you either.” Tang Yueshan said.

Gu Jiao sat on the horse and tilted her head to look at Xuanyuan Qi. Her eyes seemed to be saying, "You should know him, right?" The erudite second Shadow Lord?

Xuanyuan Qi took the iron plate, let go of his hand in an extremely exaggerated manner, and let the iron plate fall into the cracks in the ground: "Hey, ah, did it fall?"

Gu Jiao’s face was covered with black lines.

　You, actually, just, yes, don’t, recognize, know, bah!

The purpose of this kind of iron plate is generally to facilitate the identification of corpses after a battle. They are not checked on weekdays and are simply thrown away.

In addition, Xuanyuan Qi got a small backpack from somewhere, which happened to be enough to put a baby in it.

 But obviously just having a small backpack is not enough. The cry of a newborn baby comes at every turn.

As soon as Gu Jiao put the child into the cotton-padded backpack, the child burst into tears.

This voice screamed so loudly that all three of them trembled!

It was so loud that the Tianling Cap was about to be knocked over by the child’s cries!

Tang Yueshan's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Stop crying, little ancestor! You'll make the Jin army cry in a moment!"

 “Woo-wah-wow-wow-”

 He clenched his little fists and cried so loudly that the whole world was shaken!

 “Benefactor!”

 Suddenly, a woman holding a lantern appeared at the entrance of the alley.

 She walked toward Tang Yueshan with small steps, "It's really you!"

Tang Yueshan was confused.

Gu Jiao recognized her as one of the people bullied by the Jin army in the alley yesterday.

Gu Jiao didn't show up at that time, so she only knew Tang Yueshan.

"Benefactor, you saved my young lady, have you forgotten?" She said, looking at the baby in Tang Yueshan's arms, and said, "Is it just born?"

Gu Jiao said: "His father was killed by the Jin army. His mother is avoiding the pursuit of the Jin army. We want to take him away."

"Let me do it." The woman handed the lantern to Tang Yueshan and stretched out her hand to take the child from Gu Jiao. "He must be hungry. My little lady was also just born. There is a wet nurse at home. I will hold him Go feed him."

 Gu Jiao: “I’m busy.”

The woman hurriedly said: "If you don't mind, please come with me."

Several people followed her into the house.

This is a wealthy family, but it is a pity that all the men in the family have been taken away, and only the female family members and some maids and servants live behind closed doors in fear.

The woman took the child to the upper room. The child's crying stopped after a while. It seemed that he was fed milk.

About half a quarter of an hour later, the woman came out of the upper room and came to the flower hall and bowed to Gu Jiao and the others. Then she said to Tang Yueshan, "My wife is still in confinement and it is inconvenient to come out to thank my benefactor for saving his life. But my wife I said, if my benefactor doesn’t mind, you can leave the child here first. Wait until your benefactor has finished what he is doing, and then come and pick him up."

The woman is not stupid, and the lady is not stupid either.

They were wearing the armor of the Jin army, and they looked like they were going to cause trouble.

Gu Jiao asked: "Will it bring danger to you?"

The woman said pleasantly: "No, the nanny's children are also in the house. The two little ones are crying and shouting all day long. It doesn't matter if there is one more, no one will notice. Besides, the Jin army just raided the house and robbed a few nannies. The doll is not interested."

Gu Jiao thought about it carefully and felt that this method was feasible.

 “What did she say?” Tang Yueshan asked.

Gu Jiao said: "She asked us to leave the child here and pick him up in a few days."

“Will it be exposed?” Tang Yueshan asked.

Gu Jiao said: "The possibility is very small. There is a wet nurse's child in the house, and there is also a newborn baby."

Tang Yueshan was relieved.

 After the child's problem was solved, the three of them continued on their way.

 Meanwhile, Xuanyuan Qishun (beat) away (robbed) a Jin army's war horse, and forced the Jin army to teach a few words of Jin dialect on the spot.

 Then he killed the man and took Gu Jiao and Tang Yueshan to the city gate.

 He put down the visor of his helmet, showed his token, and his aura was full!

The guards guarding the city trembled with fright, and hurriedly raised their hands and saluted: "General Liu!"

 Gu Jiao: “…”

 You actually got yourself a general.

"It's not yet dawn, does General Liu want to leave the city?" the guard asked.

Xuanyuan Qi looked at Gu Jiao with dignity.

Gu Xiaobing Jiao said in a deep voice in the Jin dialect he had learned: "Secret order from the general! Open the city gate!"

"…Yes Yes!"

 Getting out of the city was smoother than expected.

Gu Jiao was wondering what kind of powerful person you had robbed. Could it be that you entered the city lord's mansion and robbed him?

"No." After Gu Jiao expressed her doubts, Xuanyuan Qi denied it seriously.

 He left the city lord's mansion.

 They were robbing at the door!

　It was daybreak soon after leaving the city.

They did not dare to delay for a moment and rushed towards the direction of Quyang City.

The Black Wind King is an excellent leading horse. Under his leadership, the speed of the Black Wind Cavalry and the Jin army's war horses are also maximized.

Gu Jiao tightened the reins: "Boss, we have to get to Quyang before dark!"

The Black Wind King faced the strong west wind and roared on the official road. They took the shortcut they came from.

After getting off the official road, they entered the forest that was shaded by trees, bypassed the winding paths and steep mountain streams, and headed all the way to the east gate of Quyang!

The last time such an attack was carried out regardless of the cost was during the final round of selection of the commander of the Black Wind Cavalry. The straight-line distance from Pucheng to Quyang was less than 300 miles, but the road was not easy to travel.

　　When they came out of another forest, the three horses were all injured.

 The Black Wind King did not dare to stop.

Xuanyuan Qi chased it all the way and watched it from a distance.

He had never expected such little Ah Yue.

 Little Ah Yue almost died when she was born, and he thought it would never grow up.

 But it not only grew up, but also became the new Black Wind King who defeated the stallion.

 It is the most powerful Black Wind King, more brave and powerful than his elder brother, the Black Wind King.

It only participated in its first battle after serving at the age of sixteen, and this may also be the last battle in its career.

 After this battle, it should be retired.

Due to the intensive training, the lifespan of the Black Wind Cavalry is shorter than that of ordinary war horses.

To ensure maximum combat effectiveness, there are no war horses over twelve years old in the Black Wind Camp, and service will generally end at the age of thirteen.

 And it is almost seventeen years old and still in service!

Xuanyuan Qi looked at it, and also at its heroic little figure on horseback.

 They are the most suitable companions for each other in the world.

 …

The sun is gradually setting in the west.

 The Black Wind King leads the way.

Two war horses followed at a distance, and the distance between them became wider and wider. Even when Gu Jiao turned around, she could no longer see them.

 It doesn’t matter, Quyang City is just ahead!

 It’s the same thing if I deliver the message first!

“Boss! Once you finish walking this official road, you will be able to see the city tower!”

As soon as she finished speaking, the Black Wind King suddenly slowed down. Gu Jiao frowned, tightened the reins and stopped.

There was a rapid sound of horse hooves in front of the official road, and the sand and gravel on the ground were shaken.

"This sound of horse hooves...could it be that a cavalry team is coming?"

They were getting closer and closer, and Gu Jiao saw the flags they held high.

It turned out to be the Jin Army!

The Jin army escaped from Pucheng, but encountered another group of Jin troops here. What happened?

Gu Jiao first ruled out the possibility that the Pucheng Jin army would overtake them on the road and then fight back.

Not only was the high road longer than the small road, their horses could not outrun the Black Wind King no matter what.

This group of Jin troops seemed to be coming from the direction of Xincheng.

  Xincheng, the territory of the Nangong family!

These Jin troops hid in Xincheng early in the morning. Now the imperial court's 120,000 troops are coming to retake Xincheng. They do not have enough troops to defend Xincheng, so they simply abandon the city and flee.

They were going to the Pucheng base camp, and then they met Gu Jiao who was coming from Pucheng.

 “It’s true that enemies are on a narrow road…”

Gu Jiao looked at the dark Jin army and roughly estimated that there were at least 10,000 troops.

However, their movement was so large and they were so close to Quyang City that they were not blocked by Quyang's troops.

Then there is only one possibility - Quyang City's troops are divided into two groups and almost all are mobilized. Only the black wind cavalry who cannot fight are left in the city... and some of the defenders who are just enough to defend the city.

 This arrangement is correct. It can achieve the greatest victory with the smallest casualties, leaving enough troops to deal with the 200,000 Jin troops in Pucheng.

No one expected that Gu Jiao would encounter this group of Jin troops.

 After all, if the military situation in Guishan had not been in critical condition, Gu Jiao would never have chosen to travel during the day.

Gu Jiao had no time to hide away because the Jin army had already discovered her.

 “Who’s in front?” a Jin cavalry shouted.

It’s almost the end of the month. If you have a monthly ticket, remember to vote~
