These Xianbei elite soldiers who were so brave and fearless of death were actually shocked by this momentum and felt a little fear in their hearts.

"Stop them!" A Hu flying soldier reacted instantly.

Zhao Yun pierced through two flying birds with one spear, and Zhang Liao on the other side also killed the three flying soldiers and their birds that came down from the sky with his halberd.

Liu Zhaoqing, who shared a gift from heaven with Zhang Liao, was able to chop off the head of a bird with feathers on its neck that looked like armor with one stroke, even though he only had an ordinary long sword in his hand.

"Okay!" Zhang Ping shouted.

With Liu Zhaoqing and the other two here, this fake emperor will definitely not be able to escape.

The situation that Zhang Ping could see would also be seen by the elite Hu people's flying soldiers.

When the flying soldiers carrying Zhang Ju saw how brave Liu Zhaoqing and the other two were, they immediately realized that these three were the terrifying Han people who had defeated the Wuhuan a few days ago.

"Why aren't you leaving yet? Go now!!"

At this time, Zhang Ju, who was dressed in a dragon robe, also panicked and urged the burly Hu man in front of him in panic.

He knew Liu Zhaoqing and of course had heard of Liu Zhaoqing's battle achievements.

This is not Zhang Ping. He has no right to challenge Liu Zhaoqing.

At this moment, Zhang Ju's high spirits and vigor just now were completely gone. Apart from the dragon robe on his body, there was nothing else on his body that resembled the true emperor.

However, the Hu people did not care about this. They just wanted to take away Zhang Ju, the emperor.

And now, something must be done to escape from Liu Zhaoqing and others.

The Hu man carrying Zhang Ju took out a black pill from his chest pocket and said, "You! Take this!"

"What, what is this?!"

Seeing that Zhang Ju was still hesitating, the Hu man grabbed him by the chest, and regardless of his shaking crown, he used his other hand to force the pill into his mouth.

Then, in the next second, a burst of red light burst out from Zhang Ju's body.

Including the Hu people, Liu Zhaoqing, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others were instantly knocked over and flew away by the huge momentum burst out by Zhang Ju.

"Don't let them run away!" Zhang Ping on the ground shouted immediately.

After Liu Zhaoqing stood up, he wanted to continue chasing, but at this time Zhao Yun on the side suddenly said: "My lord! Something is flying towards us from the south!"

Looking back at the sky, Liu Zhaoqing's pupils shrank slightly.

There were unexpectedly ten red meteor-like things coming towards them from the south. Wherever they passed, the three-meter-thick city wall was instantly pierced, and all the houses that were hit collapsed.

"Everyone get down!" Zhang Liao on the other side shouted immediately.

Everyone lay down immediately. The ten "meteors" appeared in front of them in the blink of an eye, and their direction was exactly where Zhang Ju was.

Liu Zhaoqing saw Zhang Ju stretch out his hand, and the ten "meteors" actually began to gather in his hand one after another, and an ancient sword faintly took shape in his hand.

At the same time, Liu Zhaoqing felt that something in his arms was stirring, as if it had been summoned by something.

This is... a fragment of Chi Xiao.

What the false emperor summoned were the lost fragments of Chixiao.

Liu Zhaoqing immediately stood up, ignoring the threat of three or five "meteors" flying behind him, he directly pulled out a dagger flashing with colorful light from his arms and rushed towards Zhang Ju.

The elite soldiers of the Hu people never expected that Liu Zhaoqing would dare to rush over at this time, and they were stunned for a moment.

Zhang Ju also raised the unformed sword in his hand in panic and blocked it towards Liu Zhaoqing.

"what!!"

As Zhang Ju screamed, Liu Zhaoqing, holding the Seven-Star Sword, directly faced the long sword.

The fragments of the long sword shattered with a loud bang, and the sharp tip of the sword directly penetrated into Zhang Ju's right chest.

When Liu Zhaoqing was about to exert force, he suddenly felt a sense of danger. When he looked up, someone patted his chest. It turned out to be the Hu man who was carrying Zhang Ju.

This elite soldier of the Hu people turned out to be a talented person.

After being hit by a palm, Liu Zhaoqing flew backwards holding the scimitar.

"Ah! My! Ah! My chest!!" Zhang Ju screamed in panic.

The Hu man who was carrying him and was obviously the leader frowned and then gave a decisive order.

"go!"

While Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun went to rescue Liu Zhaoqing, the Hu people drove birds into the sky and took more than a dozen surviving flying soldiers into the black cave.

In just a moment, it all disappeared.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao attacked at the same time, intercepting two red "meteors" that were about to penetrate Liu Zhaoqing's body.

"Lord!"

Liu Zhaoqing was helped up and shook his head to indicate that he was fine.

Then he and the other two looked up at the sky. Apart from a few dark clouds, there was no trace of the alien flying soldiers or the false emperor.

"Just a little bit." Zhang Liao said while gritting his teeth, his fists clenched tightly with a feeling of unwillingness in his heart.

"We rushed here in a hurry and were not well prepared, otherwise they would not be able to escape even if they had a backup plan," said Liu Zhaoqing.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao were originally training in the training ground. In order to ensure that every soldier could meet Liu Zhaoqing's requirements, the two of them were almost always leading the team and training. Each of them consumed a lot of physical energy, and they rushed to Yuyang with Liu Zhaoqing without any rest.

Liu Zhaoqing didn't even bring his own sword. If he hadn't carried the Seven-Star Sword given by Lu Hong, he might not have been able to touch the fake emperor at all.

Ordinary weapons could not break the Chixiao that was about to solidify. Once the false emperor allowed Chixiao to be recast, the consequences would be unpredictable.

Zhao Yun looked at the two pieces of debris that fell to the ground behind Liu Zhaoqing and said, "Fortunately, the lord defeated the sword in that man's hand, otherwise Wen Yuan and I would not have been able to intercept these two things so easily."

The power of the fragments had already been demonstrated at the banquet that evening. Zhang Ju's collapse caused the speed of the fragments to drop significantly. If he had persisted for a while longer, Liu Zhaoqing might really be in danger of his life again.

"Marquis Changping!"

At this time, Zhang Ping, the prefect of Yuyang County, also rushed to Liu Zhaoqing and hurriedly asked about Liu Zhaoqing's physical condition.

After Liu Zhaoqing told him that he was fine, Zhang Ping also breathed a sigh of relief.

"If the Marquis of Changping were to be seriously injured here because of my negligence, I would be ashamed to face Lord Bo'an and the people of Youzhou."

"General Zhang, what is going on?" Zhang Liao asked Zhang Ping.

Zhang Ping was also not vague. He raised his hand and asked the surrounding soldiers to kill the birds that were still struggling on the ground. Then he explained what had happened to Liu Zhaoqing and the other two.

It turned out that the fake emperor was named Zhang Ju, and Zhang Ju was indeed the internal collusion with the Xianbei Hu people that Liu Yu had investigated before.

In fact, Zhang Ju has always been a diligent person in Yuyang County, or in the eyes of Liu Yu. Although his family is quite wealthy, he strongly supports the development of Yuyang. He is not afraid of hard work and is willing to assist Zhang Ping. From any perspective, he does not seem like someone who would do such a thing.

Perhaps it was because of this that after Liu Yu found out that Zhang Ju was the traitor of Youzhou, he did not immediately control him, but instead wrote to Liu Zhaoqing to ask what to do.

But now it seems that Zhang Ju's magnanimity, diligence and friendliness were just a disguise on the surface.

He had long been dissatisfied with Zhang Ping and Liu Yu. He felt that with his ambition and strength, he should not be limited to being a minor official around the prefect of Yuyang County.

As for why Zhang Ju got the Chixiao fragment, according to Zhang Ping's guess: Zhang Ju received a letter this morning, and a spy intercepted a falcon to check the letter, but did not check the falcon's beak.

The Xianbei people had the ability to train birds, and it was most likely that the fragment of Chixiao was carried in the mouth of Xin Falcon to Zhang Ju. Then Zhang Ju, who was already a broken jar, threw it away and called himself the Son of Heaven.

What happened later was that the Hu people's flying soldiers came to rescue Zhang Ju. At that time, Liu Zhaoqing and others were almost in the city and had personally experienced the subsequent events, so there was no need for Zhang Ping to explain in detail.

Liu Zhaoqing politely declined Zhang Ping's offer to let him rest in Yuyang for a while. He asked Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun to pick up the scattered fragments of Chixiao on the ground. Then he bowed to Zhang Ping and said that he had to return to Changping City quickly to guard against foreign races or princes.

Zhang Ping did not stop Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao from picking up the thing. He certainly understood that although this thing could allow a person to ascend to heaven overnight and experience a life that they had never experienced in more than ten lifetimes, it was also essentially a "curse" as the Hu priests called it.

It is most appropriate to entrust it to someone who is capable, righteous and of high moral character.

Lord Bo'an was a man of great righteousness and noble character, but Zhang Ping understood that Lord Bo'an's character greatly affected his "ability". This incident made Zhang Ping, as a pro-war faction, once again deeply realize this.

Then naturally, Liu Zhaoqing is actually the most suitable person to keep this thing.

After Liu Zhaoqing and the other two rode away on horseback, Zhang Ping was still looking at the direction they left.

"Ah~" Zhang Ping suddenly sighed, and an idea came to his mind.

If Duke Bo'an had half the drive and determination of Liu Zhaoqing, then those Hebei princes would not dare to disregard Youzhou so much.

Even the Hu people outside the Great Wall could not have developed to the current level.

However, there is only one Marquis of Changping in the world, and fortunately he is not an enemy of Youzhou.

-

Outside Yuyang City, three fast horses were galloping westward in the wind and sand.

"Humph……"

Less than half a minute after leaving Yuyang County, Liu Zhaoqing, who was on horseback, suddenly groaned, and then his body began to obviously tilt.

Zhang Liao, who was standing by, noticed this and immediately became nervous: "My benefactor!"

Then Zhao Yun hurriedly pulled the reins of Liu Zhaoqing's horse. At the same time Zhang Liao caught Liu Zhaoqing, the horses of the three men slowed down at the same time and moved closer together.

Zhang Liao was holding Liu Zhaoqing and suddenly found that Liu Zhaoqing's forehead was covered with sweat and even his lips were slightly blue.

He suddenly felt something was wrong: "Zilong, look at what my benefactor is doing..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun looked at Liu Zhaoqing in Zhang Liao's arms, hesitated for a moment, then reached out and pulled open Liu Zhaoqing's collar, revealing his left chest.

Suddenly, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao were both shocked.

I saw a pitch-black palm print on Liu Zhaoqing's chest under his left collarbone.

The palm print was as black as ink, and it also emitted wisps of mist-like aura, which clearly showed that it was not an ordinary injury.

It turned out that it was not as Liu Zhaoqing said. Liu Zhaoqing was injured, and it seemed that the injury was serious.

The reason why he deceived Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and Zhang Ping was probably because he was worried that there might be another Hu people in Yuyang County. If he showed signs of being injured, the Hu people might take the opportunity to return and hunt him down again.

"Wenyuan, take our lord and ride on the white dragon and hurry back to Changping. Madam and Baoer know medical skills and should be able to cure our lord." After a moment of surprise, Zhao Yun immediately said to Zhang Liao.

After she finished speaking, Zhang Liao immediately came back to his senses. He nodded, and then she held Liu Zhaoqing in her arms and rode the white dragon with him towards Changping quickly.

Thanks to the efforts of the excellent horse whose abilities far surpassed those of ordinary war horses, Zhang Liao quickly brought Liu Zhaoqing back to Changping.

Zhang Liao did not slow down when entering the city from the city gate.

This made Zhou Cang on the city wall confused. He didn't understand why Zhang Liao was riding Zhao Yun's horse. He also didn't understand why Zhang Liao, who usually paid the most attention to discipline, would break the rule of "not riding horses wildly in the city".

It wasn't until she saw Liu Zhaoqing in Zhang Liao's arms that she was shocked.

After arriving at Qing Mansion quickly, Zhang Liao carried Liu Zhaoqing and walked quickly into the mansion.

But what she didn't expect was that Zhang Jiao also walked towards her at the same time.

"I have a connection with Qingjun." Zhang Jiao explained casually, and then immediately said, "Hurry up and carry him with me."

When Liu Zhaoqing was brought into the side room and Zhang Liao gently placed him on the bed, Baoer also came in with medicine.

However, Zhang Jiao stopped him, and shook her head and said, "Qing Jun's injury is not an ordinary thing. Simple medicine to nourish the body and spirit will not work."

Others may not know, but Zhang Jiao is clear that Liu Zhaoqing is protected by a human book, and ordinary wounds can heal quickly. Not to mention that even the mind-interfering powers of the six-headed dragon and other monsters cannot have any effect on Liu Zhaoqing.

Now Liu Zhaoqing closed his eyes tightly and sweat appeared on his forehead, which should not have happened.

After Zhang Jiao took off Liu Zhaoqing's shirt, she saw the black palm print.

This is the reason why Liu Zhaoqing is in such a state.

Looking at the strange black palm print, after pondering for a moment, Zhang Jiao said to Zhang Liao: "Wenyuan, please tell Lv Hong to come here."

Soon after, when Lu Hong entered the room, she was stunned when she saw Liu Zhaoqing lying on the bed.

"What, what's going on? Sir, this is... wasn't there a sign of good fortune just now..."

"Don't worry, sister Hong'er, Zhao Qing will be fine." Zhang Jiao immediately comforted her, "Come to the bedside quickly."

At this time, Bao'er beside her also had time to ask. She looked a little scared and asked in a low voice: "Madam, the head of the family...what happened?"

"It's not clear yet, but it should be caused by this thing."

Looking at the palm print on Liu Zhaoqing's chest, Zhang Jiao reached out to touch it. When her fingers touched Liu Zhaoqing's chest, it was as if they were touched by a layer of thick fog that could not be dispersed, and her fingertips were stained with a hint of black.

“It’s a dead air.”

"Dead anger?"

Zhang Jiao nodded: "Although I don't know how it was created, it is definitely not something that mortals can possess. Moreover, it should be due to the Hu people's 'holy spirit' bestowing some kind of treasure on the Hu people."
