The king will never go to court

Chapter 223 Chapter 232: Northbound
On the official road going north, two horses pulled an old carriage, driving slowly on the bumpy mountain road.

Li Bilan looked at Zhao Jinyao cautiously, but the other party still had a cold expression.

After enduring all the way, Li Bilan still opened her mouth to ask, "Miss, are we really leaving Bohai City like this?"

Although the carriage was a bit bumpy, under the guidance of Zhao Jinyao's breath, the two of them sat very smoothly in the carriage.

"Bohai City has no worries for the time being. I still need a better place to improve my strength." Zhao Jinyao's tone was flat, but there was still a trace of worry in her heart.

"Okay, that's the only way to do it right now. Miss made too much noise in Bohai City that night, and directly released all the energy of heaven and earth hidden in the Hou Mansion."

Li Bilan said to herself.

Zhao Jinyao leaned against the wall of the carriage, tapped the window sill with her right hand, watched the caravan passing by outside the carriage, and occasionally saw small groups of cavalrymen hurrying to and fro.

"It seems that Qian State's determination to seize Yan State has not changed."

Zhao Jinyao looked at the small group of cavalrymen, who were heading towards different forts and villages, and they should be carrying the documents of Bai Yanzhou's assembly of troops and horses on their backs.

A big battle is not just a simple comparison of numbers, but also follow-up guarantees such as food, armor and horses, and transportation.

Now the spirit of killing permeated the whole way, and the northern line of Bohai County was already making preparations. Apart from reminding her own strength, Zhao Jinyao forgot everything else.

"What do you care about these things! Even if the entire Yan Kingdom is destroyed, as long as Bohai City is fine, practicing martial arts is the right way."

Suddenly, Li Bilan suddenly felt something flying towards her.

It turned out that Zhao Jinyao threw another Qingshui pill, "This medicine is helpful for your cultivation, please take it."

Li Bilan knew that the Qingshui Pills in her bosom were the healing medicine of Shuiyuezong. Zhao Jinyao went to Tianlong City for training this time, and Master gave her a total of five Qingshui Pills for emergencies.

She only ate one, and gave all the other four to Li Bilan.

Li Bilan picked up the clear water pill from her bosom, stuffed it directly into her mouth, and instantly felt a warm current flow down her throat to her limbs, very refreshing.

"Thank you, miss. How's your injury?" Li Bilan nervously looked Zhao Jinyao up and down.

Long hair like a waterfall, stunning appearance, a pair of watery eyes are cold, slender neck, skin white as creamy fat, and a moon-white gauze wrapped around the bra.

Wearing a long white dress, she looks like an immortal descending from the sky.

Zhao Jinyao, who was sitting upright on one side, was blushing when she saw her cheeks, so she had to cough helplessly, "I am a martial arts practitioner, my physique is stronger than ordinary people, and most of my injuries have healed."

Li Bilan didn't answer, but quietly watched the situation outside the window, and the two fell into silence for a while.

"In two days, we will reach the capital of Qianguo. Miss, are you sure we are going to the capital of Qianguo, it is too dangerous." After a long time, Li Bilan finally broke the awkward atmosphere between the two.

"Although the Qian State is now strong and powerful, the Southern Region is not the only dynasty in the Qian State. Let's go to the capital of the Qian State, as long as we hide our tracks."

Zhao Jinyao watched the young men from military households gathering in the distance, moving to the south in an orderly manner.

"You mean, are we really going to be wiped out by dry people?"

Zhao Jinyao didn't know much about the military affairs of the imperial court, and she was devoted to martial arts practice.

"If it's just the strength of the Yan Kingdom, it may be difficult to resist the Qian Kingdom's offensive."

Zhao Jinyao withdrew her gaze, secretly calculating the pros and cons of Qian State and Yan State, and then she shook her head and sighed secretly.

Zhao Jinyao could tell from the expression on his face that it was ridiculous, sad, helpless, and angry.

"What's wrong?" Li Bilan asked even more worriedly.

Zhao Jinyao shook her head, indicating that she was fine.There was just a trace of sadness in his tone, "If the people flee south, what will Shuiyuezong do?"

"what?"

Li Bilan was stunned for a moment, not wanting to understand what her lady meant by the people fleeing south.

Zhao Jinyao saw that she didn't understand what she meant, so she explained, "If there is a change in the north, a force raids Qianguo, and the people of Qianguo flee all the way south. What will happen?"

"this?"

Li Bilan hadn't thought about such a problem, and she didn't need to think about such things before.

She could only shrug her shoulders helplessly, expressing that she didn't know what to do.

"No matter what, the people are always innocent."

Zhao Jinyao thought of the mountain of dead bodies under Bohai City again, and then she let out another long sigh.

"Miss misses the common people, and after her strength increases, she will definitely come back and save the people of our Bohai County." Li Bilan comforted her when she saw that her miss was still frowning and worried.

Zhao Jinyao's brows slowly relaxed, and the original worry gradually disappeared.

"As the largest sect in Bohai County, I hope the suzerain of Shuiyue Sect can think about the common people."

Zhao Jinyao could only comfort herself in this way.

Zhao Jinyao turned sideways, lifted a corner of the curtain on the car window with her slender arms, looked along the gap in the curtain, and indeed found many burly and strong men who were called to join the army.

One after another, a small group of strong men rode the ordinary horses at home to the south, and all of them had excited expressions on their faces.

Can be selected by the army of Qianguo, the family can be exempted from taxes, and can also get a large amount of settling allowance.

Therefore, if there are redundant young men in the family, they will enthusiastically sign up and go to the country of Yan to earn military merits.

"See how happy they are? This is their last smile. These people living in the hinterland of Baiyan Prefecture don't even know how terrifying the real chaos in the Southern Region is."

While the two were chatting, the carriage was suddenly stopped by someone.

The coachman tightened the reins and just stopped the carriage when Li Bilan heard a "clang", and someone outside the carriage pulled out a dry knife.

The sound of the dry knife being unsheathed, looking at the cold light of the knife in a daze.

"Who are you? Where are you going?"

A cavalry soldier from the Qian Kingdom looked at the two military horses harnessed in front of the carriage, stared at the carriage unkindly, and asked coldly.

Since the Boyanhou Mansion ordered the conscription, the officials in all parts of Baiyan Prefecture have been busy, and they have gone to various villages and towns to select strong and strong men.

Li Bilan opened the curtains and glanced sideways at a group of cavalry blocking the way of the carriage. The leader was dressed as two frontier soldiers, followed by more than a dozen strong men who had just been recruited.

The leading cavalry flag officer kept his gaze on the two horses, pointed at the coachman with the tip of his knife, and said, "We have requisitioned these two horses!"

"This, this." The coachman was just eating, but was frightened by the soldier pointing at him with a knife, and quickly backed away, turning his head to look at Li Bilan, with a questioning look in his eyes.

Thinking that the newly recruited civilians were about to die in the country of Yan, Li Bilan glanced at the cavalry flag officer pointing at the coachman with the tip of his knife, and said coldly, "Why?"

"Why? Can't you see that these two horses are war horses in the army?"

"If I hadn't been in a good mood today, I would have punished you on the spot for stealing a war horse from the Qian Kingdom, and I would have sent you to prison directly."

The small cavalry flag officer glanced at the fair Li Bilan with disdain on his face. If he hadn't seen that the other party was a woman, he might have been arrested and sent back to serve as a transporter for the frontier army.

"Oh!"

Li Bilan's voice was extremely long, she hadn't noticed the two horses in front of the carriage before, and she didn't know where her lady got the two army horses.

She looked at the two horses carefully, and said with a smile in her heart, "Since they are already our horses, how can they be snatched away."

"Don't untie the horse yet?" the cavalry flag officer urged impatiently.

The coachman looked at the fierce frontier soldier, then looked back at the fair-faced Li Bilan, and asked in a low voice, "My lord, look at this."

Li Bilan didn't make things difficult for the coachman, he shifted his gaze to the dry knife in the hand of the frontier soldier, and said coldly, "Are you trying to steal it?"

"Steal?" the cavalry flag officer laughed loudly, "We never rob people, we are under the order of the Marquis Mansion, requisition!"

"Furthermore, you don't know where the war horse in the army came from. I haven't punished you yet, yet you accuse us of robbing things?"

The small cavalry flag officer looked at Li Bilan sideways as if he was looking at an idiot, and then he glanced back at the coachman, the dry knife in his hand was about to chop off, "Why don't you hurry up?"

Although it is no longer the Yan Kingdom, Zhao Jinyao still can't understand the style of these people, no doubt like a robber.She tapped on the wall of the car lightly, and with a thought, tried to adjust the breath in her body.

A vague aura followed Zhao Jinyao's fingertips and rushed towards the small cavalry flag officer who was wielding a dry knife.

Li Bilan, who was sitting by the side, only felt a slight breath fluctuation around the carriage, but after perceiving it, she didn't find anything unusual.

Immediately, she closed her eyes again, like an iceberg beauty.

With a flick of Zhao Jinyao's fingers, a breath completely entangled the dry knife in the hand of the cavalry flag officer, and with a "clang", the dry knife fell on the official road.

The cavalry flag officer's right hand shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in a blink of an eye there was only skin and bone left, and this state was spreading to his arm.

Seeing this scene, the small cavalry flag officer yelled in shock, "What should I do? What should I do? You should think of a way! Help! Help!"

The pupils of his eyes shrank suddenly, watching this strange scene in horror.

The other soldiers surrounding the cavalry flag officer panicked, not knowing what happened and how their flag officer became like this.

Those who were frightened were not only the newly recruited soldiers, but also Li Bilan who stuck his head out of the car window.

Zhao Jinyao just wanted to try to teach the other party a lesson, never expecting such a weird scene to happen.

Hearing the screams of the people outside, Zhao Jinyao opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Li Bilan questioningly.

Li Bilan retracted her head into the carriage, looked at Zhao Jinyao and shrugged helplessly, "Miss, it's too scary, that person's arm..."

"This exercise is too wicked and terrifying." Zhao Jinyao thought to herself, unable to believe that this was the exercise she practiced.

"This Moon Heart Art can actually cut off the vitality of others invisibly!?" Zhao Jinyao couldn't believe her own perception, how could there be such a vicious exercise.

A moment later, Zhao Jinyao put on a white veiled hat, stepped down from the carriage, and saw the same thing on the arm of the little cavalry flag officer at a glance.

"whoosh" sound

Zhao Jinyao returned her long sword to its sheath, and one arm was cut off shoulder-length, and blood was scattered all over the ground.She said in a cold tone, "What's going on?"

"What's going on? You murdered court officers and soldiers, it's considered treason!"

The cavalry flag officer endured the severe pain, staring at the girl in white who had just come out of the carriage with his eyes tearing apart, his tone was cold.

"I saved your life, but you spewed blood! It's hopeless." The girl in white turned and got into the carriage, and said to the coachman, "Let's continue on our way. Anyone who wants our horses should ask the sword in his hand first."

The girl's tone was cold, and the piercing chill shrouded the surroundings. The oppressive frontier soldiers dared not say a word. Everyone's eyes were still on the severed arm, fearing that she would be the next one to be severed.

The coachman flicked his whip, and continued to drive southward slowly until he disappeared to the end of the official road. The coachman didn't even wipe off the cold sweat oozing from his forehead.

After entering the carriage, Zhao Jinyao returned to her seat, met Li Bilan's concerned gaze, and asked softly, "Miss, are you alright?"

At this moment, Zhao Jinyao hadn't recovered from the weird exercise just now, until Li Bilan appeared in front of her, she shook her head in a daze.

"It's good that it's okay. If something happens in the future, miss, you'd better stay in the carriage." Although Li Bilan didn't find anything unusual, she always felt that something was wrong.

For safety's sake, she still forced her young lady to stay in the carriage and never go out again.

"When we arrive in the capital of Qianguo, we must drive carefully and stop being so reckless." Zhao Jinyao said softly.

"Is it really going to be okay? I'm worried that we've already been targeted by others." Li Bilan muttered to herself, slowly closed her eyes, and fell into deep thought.

Zhao Jinyao leaned quietly on the cushion, smelling the faint fragrance from her side, which was the smell of sandalwood on the carriage.

Four days later, the carriage slowly drove into Xuelong City.

Xuelong City, the seat of Xuebei Prefecture, has a population of over one million and is the largest city in the south of Xuebei Prefecture.

Driving north for two days, you can reach the border between Longyao Prefecture and Xuebei Prefecture.

It was already night when Zhao Jinyao and the three arrived in Xuelong City. In the end, the two decided to find an inn in Xuelong City to rest for the night, and then continue to the north early tomorrow morning.

The three of them came to a not-so-bustling inn in the city, and the coachman took the carriage to the backyard to rest.

Zhao Jinyao and Li Bilan, master and servant, concealed it with white gauze, and headed towards the lobby of the inn.

As soon as he entered the inn lobby, he heard abnormally noisy voices, and the lobby was almost full of Jianghu warriors.

Seeing such a situation, Li Bilan could only let out a long sigh, and said softly, "Miss, we have been fooled. Why don't we change to another inn?"

After they entered the city, they specifically asked some people in the city.As a result, I was told that there were few people in this inn and it was quiet.

"Okay, don't worry about it so much. Since I have asked several people, they all recommend this place. I must ask other people, it should be here too."

Seeing the two girls walking into the lobby, the sharp-eyed boy rushed to meet them.

"The two knights are staying at the hotel?"

"Stay at the hotel."

Li Bilan watched everyone in the hall vigilantly, and replied softly.

"This way, please." The inn boy led the way and led them directly to the other courtyard behind.

　Newcomers and new books, please ask for various tickets, thank you everyone
