The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Looking at his hands that were shaking uncontrollably, Yang Qi shook his head, feeling somewhat helpless. He really thought that he had succeeded and could walk on the cliff, but just now when he was in the middle of the bridge ladder, the instinct for survival brought him nothing but uncontrollable fear.

It was as if he was back to the state where he stood in the middle of the bridge stairs with his legs weak. Yang Qi closed his eyes and calmed down. He had to calm down.

"Mencius" said: If you are going to give a man a great responsibility, you must first make his heart and mind suffer, his muscles and bones tired, his body hungry and empty, and his plans frustrated. This is to stimulate his heart and harden his nature, so as to increase his ability to do what he could not do before.

Only by going through these can you shoulder the responsibility of great kindness and take revenge. You must remain calm.

While Yang Qi was calming down, Xiao Qing, A Yi and Chen Jing crossed the bridge ladder one after another. These martial artists were much faster than Yang Qi and did not stop halfway.

It was not until Chen Jing reached the bridge ladder that Yang Qi finally came to his senses and slowly stood up with the help of a stone.

Squinting his eyes, Yang Qi carefully watched the movements on the other side of the cliff, but found that General Huo Yun was not in a hurry to cross the bridge ladder, but was busy with something on the other side of the cliff.

After swallowing the disgusting taste of blood in his mouth, Yang Qi finally spoke: "What is General Huo Yun doing?" Yang Qi, who had just experienced extreme tension, now spoke weakly.

Hearing his master's question, Ah Du thought about it and got the answer: "If I'm not mistaken, the general is untying the fixed rope, so that when he comes over, the bridge ladder can be taken away from this side without leaving any trace."

Ah Du didn't actually see the movements of General Huo Yun's hands, but there was nothing on the other side of the cliff except the rope that General Huo Yun used to fix the bridge ladder. Moreover, it was obvious that the Huo family had spent a lot of effort to build this road. When it was not used, there would naturally be no clues left for the "bandits" to use the bridge ladder.

Adu's answer solved Yang Qi's doubts, but Yang Qi had a new question. The five people including himself were able to pass safely just now because the bridge ladder was fixed at both ends. Is General Huo Yun really sure that he can cross the cliff with the help of an unstable bridge ladder?

Yang Qi pondered in his heart. The Mohist Classic says: "If you add weight to one side of a balance, it must be hammered. If the weight and weight are equal, the base will be short and the mark will be long. If the two are equal, the mark will go down, and the mark will be right." If there is no wind, it will not be difficult for General Huo Yun to get over. But the bridge ladder is too long and thin. If the wind blows, I am afraid that the bridge will not be stable.

Unable to help but feel a little worried and curious, Yang Qi looked at Adu, Ayi and the others, but he did not expect that these usually very calm secret guards were now looking at the opposite side with great admiration.

Yang Qi couldn't help but smile in his heart. It turned out to be the secret guard brought by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Out of the corner of his eye, Yang Qi noticed the group of people who had just built the bridge ladder. Although everyone was wearing cloth clothes, their uniform upright posture and serious faces showed their identity as soldiers.

When Yang Qi was looking at the hundred or so soldiers, Xiao Qing's words "coming here" made Yang Qi's attention return to General Huo Yun on the other side of the cliff.

Without the previous conditions, Huo Yun couldn't walk over normally like Yang Qi and the others, so he had to use other methods.

After briefly testing the situation of the bridge ladder, Huo Yun took a few steps back, took a deep breath, touched the ground with his toes, and flew into the sky like an eagle.

Yang Qi widened his eyes and saw that General Huo Yun was in front of him in just seven or eight jumps, without any hesitation or slowness.

Oh my God, is this an ability that ordinary people can possess? If I had this martial art, how could I be afraid of those mediocre people in the Duke's Mansion?

However, General Huo Yun’s martial arts skills were so high, why was he captured by that group of soldiers?

If the martial arts of that group of officers and soldiers were so high that they could completely suppress General Huo Yun, why were they knocked down so easily by Adu and the other two? You know, after defeating that group of officers and soldiers, Adu and the other two did not have a single injury on their bodies.

It was strange, really too strange. Ever since arriving in Xihu, Yang Qi hadn't figured out many things.

As soon as General Huo Yun "landed", the hundreds of soldiers shouted in unison, "General", as if they had agreed. Their voices were so loud that Yang Qi couldn't help but straighten his back a little.

Huo Yun looked at the neatly lined soldiers with a stern face and nodded: "Pack up the things and leave no evidence behind."

The soldiers moved quickly, and everyone was doing their job, but Yang Qi and his men seemed a little idle.

Fortunately, Yang Qi was neither thin-skinned nor kind-hearted, so he was not uncomfortable in such an occasion. He just took Xiaobai and the other horses to the side to eat grass.

People like Huo Yun are very aloof. Even if Yang Qi has a lot of questions, she might not get any answers from him.

Besides, Huo Yun is not completely convinced of his identity now, and he must be on guard against him. Yang Qi will not go and talk to Huo Yun and make trouble for himself.

After the soldiers packed up their things, Yang Qi and his group started a new journey.

Apart from feeling sleepy and tired, Yang Qi was still very satisfied with his current state of traveling.

After all, now he doesn't have to be as cautious as before, he can ride Xiaobai on his way with confidence.

Unexpectedly, but also reasonably, General Huo Yun did not stop along the way and ran all the way to the city of Xihu.

Rubbing his eyes, Yang Qi looked at the big "Xi Hu" characters on the city gate, and heaved a long sigh of relief, finally arriving at Xi Hu. Along the way, carrying the small box, Yang Qi was terrified. It can be said that these ten days were really the most stressful days for him.

Before General Huo Yun's horse reached the city gate, the soldiers guarding the gate shouted, "General Yun is back! General Yun is back!"

"Open the city gate quickly!"

“Let him go immediately!”

Yang Qi and his group followed General Huo Yun's army into the city, thus skipping the inspection at the city gate.

When Yang Qi arrived at the city gate, he saw that there were a lot of people queuing up to enter the city. They were divided into five teams, some walking and some riding in carriages.

When the people at the city gate heard the voices of the soldiers, they all looked in the direction of General Huo Yun. Most of the ladies in the carriages lifted the curtains, looking forward to seeing the graceful figure of General Huo Yun.

In Xihu, General Huo Yun and General Huo Xuan are the men that all brides-to-be want to marry the most, except for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

As an aside, His Royal Highness has been staying in Xihu regularly since he was a child. Compared with General Huo Yun, he has not been on the battlefield many times, but every war is highly sung in Xihu. With the blessing of His Royal Highness's halo, he naturally became the most perfect son-in-law in the eyes of all girls.
