Chapter 126 The incident came to light
The sun was blazing, and at noon, a strange sound suddenly came from behind me. It was the sharp sound of weapons rubbing against each other!
Qing Han and Ling Huaici looked at each other, then stood up together in tacit understanding and decided to go and find out what was going on.
When they looked closely, they saw a group of mysterious masked figures chasing Huo Yige aggressively!
Ling Huaici's face was as calm as water, calmly observing the fierce scene below. Qing Han, who was standing beside him, remained silent and did not say much.
On the surface, the followers leading Huo Yige are quite powerful. Not only are they numerous but each of them has special skills. They should be able to ensure his safety.
However, the actual situation was far from optimistic - those unidentified attackers seemed endless, with new members joining the battle continuously, causing Huo Yige's side to gradually fall into a passive situation, and many people began to show signs of fatigue.
Qing Han couldn't help but stare at everything happening in front of her eyes, wondering in her heart what Ling Huaici was trying to do.
Just as she was puzzled, she saw the Yulin Guards quickly surrounded where they were.
Qing Han frowned slightly and said to Ling Huaici anxiously: "What are you doing? Shouldn't we go and save Huo Yige now?"
Ling Huaici smiled slightly, seemingly not caring about Qinghan's questioning. He slowly explained, "Don't worry, I have my own arrangements. These Yulin Guards will ensure our safety."
After hearing this, Qinghan was still a little worried, but could only sigh helplessly.
After all, the current situation is beyond her control, and Ling Huaici, as the leader of this incident, naturally has his own plans.
At this moment, there was a sound of fighting and shouting in the distance. Qing Han's heart tightened, and her eyes were fixed on the direction where the sound came from. She knew that a fierce battle was taking place there.
However, Ling Huaici remained calm, as if he had already expected such a situation to happen.
He quietly observed the movements around him, waiting for the best time to strike.
Qing Han was extremely anxious and could not help but urge again: "Ling Huaici, we can't wait any longer! We must act as soon as possible!"
Facing Qing Han's urging, Ling Huaici finally stood up slowly. He held the dagger tightly in his hand, his eyes firm and cold.
Then, he issued an order: "All Yulin Guards, listen up! Follow me to support!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Huaici took the lead and rushed towards the direction of the battle.
Seeing this, Qing Han followed him into the melee without hesitation...
At this moment, suddenly, a group of figures dressed in the same attire rushed out from under the cliff behind them.
Qing Han suddenly realized that what Ling Huaici had just said, "I will ensure their safety," actually had such a profound meaning.
All of a sudden, my admiration for him surged into my heart. He was able to foresee the danger and plan ahead. He was so smart!
However, Qing Han had no time to indulge in his feelings at this moment. The enemies' attack was extremely fierce, and if he was not careful, he might encounter an accident.
Just as she was distracted, a sharp object scratched her arm, leaving a shallow wound.
Seeing this, Ling Huaici pulled her behind him without hesitation and sternly warned her, "Follow me closely! Don't leave me alone!"
Qing Han couldn't help but feel an indescribable emotion in her heart. In the past, she always led the way in every battle. Such a minor injury was insignificant to her.
However, at this moment, someone was willing to step forward and protect her behind her.
This new feeling is both exciting and novel, as if it is an unprecedented experience.
Maybe there had been a similar situation before, but she just didn't remember it...
Ling Huaici noticed that Qinghan's thoughts seemed to drift away, so he called her softly.
Soon, she came to her senses as if awakened from a dream and threw herself back into the fierce battle.
Huo Yige was fighting fiercely with the enemy over there, while constantly climbing up the mountain. On the other side, Ling Huaici was fighting while moving down the mountain.
After a long and fierce battle, the two miraculously met halfway up the mountain.
Huo Yige quickly glanced at the two of them, and then quickly reported the situation on his side to Ling Huaici: "I have communicated with them. Although they speak Persian, they are full of loopholes. These people are not Persians."
As soon as these words came out, Qing Han immediately thought of someone...
Ling Huaici raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile: "You can't hold back so soon, maybe it's not a bad thing for us."
Huo Yige nodded in agreement: "Then what should we do next?"
Ling Huaici looked at his men who were still fighting fiercely, then turned to ask Qing Han: "Do you have any ideas?"
"The current situation is not favorable to us. We have been in a passive position," Qing Han couldn't help but frowned, "The best strategy is to avoid fighting for the time being."
"Yeah." After hearing this, Huo Yige thought that this was indeed a safer method.
Ling Huaici was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
Qing Han asked Mu Yuan in the depths of her mind: "Is there a place nearby where we can temporarily hide?"
Mu Yuan quickly unfolded the large map in his hand and searched carefully before responding, "This place was originally the home of those hunters, but because life was too difficult, they left and went down the mountain to make a living. However, there is a cave not far from here, which should be useful if needed."
"Very good, then you lead the way." Qing Han answered without hesitation, and then turned to Ling Huaici and Huo Yige to explain: "Just now I noticed that there seemed to be signs of some people moving around on the hillside not far ahead. Maybe there is a place where we can take a breath and adjust our condition. Without further ado, let's go in that direction first."
Hearing this, the corners of Ling Huaici's mouth raised slightly, and Qing Han was a little confused and looked at him in confusion.
However, at this time, Ling Huaici also said: "Then you will lead the way."
Huo Yige stared straight at the two people in front of him who were chatting and laughing happily, and a sense of loss and frustration surged in his heart.
He muttered to himself: "Oh... It seems that I have no chance at all..." As he thought about it, he curled his lips unconsciously and shook his head weakly like a deflated ball.
All of this was seen by Qing Han who was standing by. She patted Huo Yige's head gently, looked puzzled, and asked, "Why are you standing there in a daze? Come on!"
Hearing this, Huo Yige suddenly came back to his senses, but still shouted angrily: "I am the king of a country! How can you talk to me like this?"
Qing Han was immediately angry and amused when she heard this. She couldn't help but roll her eyes and said unhappily, "So what?!"
Huo Yige was obviously irritated by Qinghan's indifferent attitude. He shouted angrily, "You...you are so presumptuous! You have no respect for the inferiors!"
Qing Han was not frightened. Instead, she turned her head and looked at Huo Yige provocatively, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a sly smile: "Hehe~ That's right, I want to be the demon concubine who is feared by everyone and brings disaster to the people! Of course, I have to be arrogant enough!"
Huo Yige was choked and speechless, her whole face flushed red, like a ripe apple. At this moment, Ling Huaici, who had been silent all the time, suddenly interrupted and said, "Isn't it good to be the wife of the governor? Do you have to be a demon concubine?"
Qing Han waved her hands nonchalantly and answered confidently: "You men don't understand at all! If I want to do it, I must become the most respected and prominent woman in the world!"
Huo Yige spoke expressionlessly, his voice cold and decisive, as if a sharp blade cut off the other party's words: "The one you are talking about is the queen." His eyes were full of disdain and ridicule.
Qing Han was slightly stunned, and after thinking for a moment, she nodded slightly, but then she showed a sly smile and retorted: "Nonsense, it is obviously the Empress Dowager!" She looked at Huo Yige provocatively, her eyes flashing with confidence and pride.
Huo Yige was so angry that he clenched his teeth, his teeth chattering, and squeezed out a word: "You woman!" His fists were clenched tightly, as if he would swing at Qing Han at any time.
Seeing this, Ling Huaici, who was standing by, curled up a barely perceptible smile at the corner of his mouth.
He reached out his hand and gently stroked Qing Han's hair, saying softly, "Well, I also think the title of Empress Dowager suits you very well. I'll ask him to issue an edict to confer the title on you, so that you can also experience the feeling of being an Empress Dowager!"
Qing Han was delighted when she heard Ling Huaici's words. She glanced triumphantly at Huo Yige's face, which was twisted by anger, and suddenly felt extremely happy.
