Traveling through ancient times to survive

The secret guard master that the emperor had been obsessed with had already been dealt with by Zhao Qingshen without anyone noticing. How would he react if he wanted a corpse?

The Sixth Prince put a knife to the emperor's neck, hid behind the emperor and pushed him out of the hall.

The Sixth Prince's eyes were bloodshot and his expression was frantic: "Stop! Everyone, stop!"

The guards, who were afraid of the consequences, stopped their actions and looked at the hostage emperor nervously.

The emperor said in a low voice with a sad face: "You rebellious son, are you going to kill your father?"

"Shut up!"

The Sixth Prince exerted force with his hands, and the cold and sharp blade came close to his skin. The Emperor wisely shut up.

The Sixth Prince has gone mad. Looking at the already deranged Sixth Prince, this is the consensus of everyone outside the palace. They dare not bet on whether a madman would dare to kill the king.

The Sixth Prince continued to order: "Drop your weapons!"

The guards dropped their weapons one after another. At this moment, the Sixth Prince felt his arm go numb. The sharp blade instantly cut the old emperor's throat, and warm blood splashed all over his head and face.

The old emperor fell down in disbelief, the light in his eyes went out, and he died with his eyes open.

"Revenge His Majesty!" A loud and angry roar came from somewhere, and an arrow pierced the Sixth Prince's body. The soldiers of the guard team reacted, picked up their weapons and fired a volley.

Before the Sixth Prince could explain, he was shot like a hedgehog, his eyes wide open. His last thought before he died was: Who is plotting against me?

After the Sixth Prince was executed, the guards vented their fear and anger at not being able to protect the Emperor on the Sixth Prince's subordinates. An inhumane massacre began in the palace, and shrill screams could be heard from far away.

Zhao Qing and Li Heng jumped out of the palace wall and returned to the inn.

Li Heng's hands trembled with excitement as his great revenge was achieved.

Zhao Qing patted his shoulder and said, "Don't get excited yet. Do you still have any enemies in Kyoto? I can help you solve them."

Li Heng looked dazed, as if in a dream. Was revenge so easy? To avenge the most noble people in the world, shouldn't one start with a rebellion, go through countless hardships and obstacles step by step, successfully overthrow the entire dynasty, and then push them to the guillotine?

Li Heng had been prepared to live on the edge of a knife for his entire life even if he still might not succeed, but in the end he killed his enemy so easily?

Pulling back to his senses by the force on his shoulder, Li Heng shook his head: "No, the main culprit has been punished. We don't need to do anything about the treacherous people under them who fanned the flames. The new ruler will clean them up."

"Okay, your problem is solved, and now it's time to solve my problem."

Li Heng looked confused: "What's your matter?"

"I'm going to go to the north to warn those barbarians to stop killing people."

Li Heng's eyes widened: "You want to drive the barbarians back to the grassland by yourself?"

Looking back on the revenge process this time, it seems that nothing is impossible, and Xiaolu is still here.

Li Heng was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking of. He looked at Zhao Qing with moved eyes. It was him who had a blood feud with the barbarians. When did he have anything to do with Zhao Qing, who had always lived in Qingzhou? This was all because of him!

Zhao Qing got goosebumps when he was looked at. "Stop! Dealing with the barbarians has nothing to do with you. Those barbarians have committed too many sins and must be punished."

I don't know whether Li Heng believed it or not, but Zhao Qing was telling the truth and was not lying. The reason why he took the initiative to avenge Li Heng was because what the emperor did was truly hated by both God and man.

Last time I said that Zhao Qing had a premonition that the population of this world must not be reduced to a certain limit. He killed the emperor for this reason, and now he is going to warn the barbarians for this reason as well.

The hatred between the two nations had nothing to do with her, a person who had traveled through time. To Zhao Qing, they were all indigenous people of this world and had the right to survive.

But the barbarians were too cruel. They had destroyed the entire north. Wasn't this against Zhao Qing? Could Zhao Qing let go of someone who had ruined her mission?

Li Heng nodded: "In that case, let's pack up and leave the city immediately."

Soon, Zhao Qing and Li Heng quietly climbed over the city wall. Looking back, the towering city wall was coated with a layer of golden glow by the setting sun.

Li Heng said goodbye silently in his heart. From now on, he would never come back to Kyoto!

In the setting sun, the two horses gradually moved away. The sound of horse hooves could be heard on the official road, and the whistling wind ruffled Li Heng's hair.

Having let go of the huge stone in his heart, Li Heng ran along a road that disappeared into the sky with a relaxed look on his face. It was a smooth journey just like his future life.

As they went north, they met many people who had fled from the north with their families. Li Heng stopped a relatively kind family to inquire about the news.

"Father, I see people all along this road fleeing southwards. Could it be that those barbarians broke the agreement and attacked again?"

The old man with a sad face stopped and said, "That's not the case. But just because we haven't broken the contract now doesn't mean we won't break it in the future. Those barbarians are just a bunch of evil spirits in human skin. It's wishful thinking to expect them to abide by the contract."

The middle-aged man following the old man interrupted indignantly: "Yes, the north is too dangerous now. The court's army has become shit since the generals were replaced. They collapse at the first touch when encountering barbarians. The former generals who guarded the border for generations were able to repel the barbarians every time. The people in power are really stupid and killed General Li's family unjustly. Well, now they are replaced by a bunch of idiots. It's really hard for us common people."

"Shut up!" the old man shouted, looking around cautiously. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he sighed, "Alas, if my family wants to survive, we can only flee to the south. Young man, why are you still heading north at this time? I advise you to turn around and go back."

"Thank you for the reminder, uncle. We are going north to pick up our relatives and will come back immediately after picking them up."

"Is that so? Then be careful along the way."

Li Heng took off a bundle and threw it to the middle-aged man as a reward, and without waiting for anyone to refuse, the two men rode away.

"Hey!" The middle-aged man stretched out his arms and scooped up empty air.

The man's wife snatched the bag and opened it. She gasped and her eyes widened in an instant. The woman immediately covered the bag and glanced around, afraid that someone would notice her here.

As soon as the father-in-law saw his daughter-in-law's expression, he knew that the things in the bundle were not simple. He carefully untied the bundle, and saw that it was full of big, plump, white steamed buns. It was obvious that they were all made of fine flour, which was something that ordinary people like them could not afford.

Several heads that stretched forward at the same time as the father-in-law gasped at the same time.

"Hurry up and go, we have met a noble person."

The family picked up the cart and started walking away very quickly, walking ten miles before stopping to rest.
