Ping Xinian drew an arrow and aimed it at Yi Qing. She was in this state now all because of this woman. If it weren't for her, Ping Xinian would have been the most dazzling woman in the Great Jin Dynasty, instead of being a low - status concubine.
But after today, it would all be over. What she couldn't have, no one else would.
The long arrow left the bowstring. Yi Qing didn't notice. The horse pulling the carriage was startled and jumped, causing the carriage to overturn. Yi Qing was thrown to one side. The arrow hit the carriage frame. She turned around and saw Ping Xinian starting to draw another arrow.
Without caring about Ping Xinian's next arrow, Yi Qing hurriedly crawled into the carriage to check on Xiao Jinghan's situation.
Seeing Yi Qing's reaction, Ping Xinian's eyes turned even more ferocious. She pulled the bowstring to the fullest and the arrow flew off.
Lu Tianxun saw the arrow coming and wanted to stop it, but was blocked by someone. Just as the arrow was about to hit Yi Qing, it was suddenly knocked down.
At this moment, there was a whistling sound in the air, and some black shadows appeared on the battlefield.
Ghost Lord stepped in front of Yi Qing. "I said you should follow me from now on. A grown man still needs you to protect him."
"Humph!" Xiao Jinghan snorted coldly. The one who had the least right to say such a thing was Ghost Lord.
Xiao Jinghan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His front was also stained with blood.
Yi Qing always knew that Xiao Jinghan had protected her heart meridian, but she didn't know that he had been in a coma because of it.
He protected his heart meridian to save his own life. Who would have thought that Wu Min had used a life - sustaining Gu on him, and then Yi Qing had performed surgery on him. As a result, this layer of protection had become a shackle, and he was in a coma and unable to break through it.
Yi Qing didn't understand the mysteries of martial arts, and the heart meridian was related to life. So she had never thought of this. She had always been very careful when moving Xiao Jinghan, for fear that something would happen to him.
This time, when he was jolted in the carriage, the heart meridian was shaken and directly broken through. It could be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
Yi Qing looked at Xiao Jinghan in shock. She never expected that Xiao Jinghan would wake up like this.
"I'll protect my own woman." Xiao Jinghan bent down to pick up a scimitar.
"Are you okay?" Ghost Lord was also surprised that Xiao Jinghan would wake up at this moment. Moreover, he looked as if he had just woken up from a nap, with no obstacles in his body.
"Watch closely." Xiao Jinghan directly charged forward.
As soon as Xiao Jinghan woke up, everyone panicked. His title of God of War was earned on the battlefield.
"Kill!" Qiao Ye knew he was doomed. If he could kill Xiao Jinghan here, he might have a glimmer of hope for survival.
However, Xiao Jinghan wouldn't give him this chance. To catch the bandits, first catch the ringleader.
Although this incident was led by Ping Xinian, without Qiao Ye, Ping Xinian wouldn't have dared to be so arrogant in Minnan.
"I am Xiao Jinghan, the God of War of the Great Jin Dynasty and a first - rank general. Do you really want to resist stubbornly with Qiao Ye, this traitor?" Xiao Jinghan's voice echoed in the valley.
The soldiers were stunned when they heard Xiao Jinghan's words. In that moment, Xiao Jinghan directly took Qiao Ye's head. Did he need to reason with those who dared to touch his woman?
On the other side, Ping Xinian panicked. She didn't even have time to escape and was directly captured.
The people following Qiao Ye immediately laid down their arms and surrendered. Now that Qiao Ye was dead, there was no point in fighting.
The situation turned around and ended in less than the time it took to drink a cup of tea. It happened so fast that people didn't have time to react.
Yi Qing was protected by the secret guards and stood to one side, with only Xiao Jinghan in her eyes.
Xiao Jinghan truly belonged to the battlefield. On the battlefield, he was a god, and everyone had to submit at his feet.
"Staring blankly?" Ghost Lord came over first when he saw there was nothing more he could do.
"Why are you here?" Yi Qing was a little surprised.
"I heard that Qiao Ye was up to something and came to check. You're really lucky." Ghost Lord sneered.
Yi Qing didn't refute. Although Xiao Jinghan had woken up, if Ghost Lord hadn't stopped that arrow in advance, she would have either died or been seriously injured.
"What's wrong with you? It's been a year, and you still let Ping Xinian roam freely." Yi Qing changed the subject.
"If I hadn't forced her into a corner this year, how could she have panicked and attacked..." Ghost Lord felt a bit ashamed at this point and didn't continue.
"You forced Ping Xinian into a corner, and in her desperation, she attacked me. You're really capable." Yi Qing said angrily.
Just as they were talking, Xiao Jinghan came over.
Most of the people brought by Ping Xinian had escaped. Those who didn't escape were killed by the people from Ghost Floating Mountain. After laying down their arms, the people brought by Qiao Ye obediently waited. They were soldiers, and there was no use in running away.
Yi Qing directly ran over and threw herself into Xiao Jinghan's arms. Ghost Lord looked up and touched his forehead. He couldn't bear to watch.
"I was so scared." Yi Qing said coquettishly.
"Me too." Xiao Jinghan hugged Yi Qing tightly.
Yi Qing's previous guess was correct. Xiao Jinghan was conscious, but most of the time his consciousness was not clear. However, he knew that Yi Qing had been with him.
The moment he woke up, hearing the sounds of battle and the arrow being knocked down outside, his heart tightened. He was really scared.
"Come on, you two. We're still busy." Ghost Lord couldn't stand it anymore.
"Take a rest on the spot." Xiao Jinghan gave the order.
Lu Tianxun went to handle this matter. Wu Min didn't dare to come over when she saw Xiao Jinghan wake up.
Even when Xiao Jinghan was seriously injured and in a coma before, he had an aura that kept strangers away. After waking up, he was even more terrifying. Even she felt a chill down her spine.
Lu Tianxun had people clean up the battlefield. When he came over after making the arrangements, he saw Wu Min sitting there alone. "Why are you sitting alone?"
Wu Min immediately grabbed Lu Tianxun's arm. "I treated Xiao Jinghan like that before. Will he settle the score with me?"
Lu Tianxun laughed. "Don't worry. General Xiao isn't that petty."
"But Yi Qing is."
Lu Tianxun knew what Wu Min was worried about. He pulled Wu Min over.
Ghost Lord was talking about what had happened in the past year. Since he didn't understand business, he simply robbed. As long as it was the goods of the Ping family, he would rob them. Now, the Ping family's business was no longer viable.
"The Ping family has deep roots, and no one knows how much assets they have. Even if their business fails, the fertile fields and shops under their name can still make the Ping family prosperous for generations." Yi Qing said angrily.
She thought Ghost Lord had some great ability, but he used such a direct method. It would indeed seriously damage the Ping family, but it was still far from completely destroying them.
"It's okay. Now that Ping Xinian is in our hands, you can deal with the Ping family however you want." Xiao Jinghan looked at Yi Qing affectionately.
Just then, Lu Tianxun brought Wu Min over. Seeing Xiao Jinghan's expression, Wu Min felt even more panicked. She thought she was doomed. Since Xiao Jinghan liked Yi Qing so much, if he knew that she had wanted to feed Yi Qing to the bugs before, he would definitely not spare her.
"General." Lu Tianxun saluted.
Xiao Jinghan nodded slightly and then glanced at Wu Min.
"I did save your life after all." Wu Min nervously hid behind Lu Tianxun.
Xiao Jinghan of course knew that Wu Min had saved his life, but his attitude wasn't very good. If it weren't for Yi Qing's constant tolerance and negotiation, he might have been fed to the bugs by this Wu Min long ago.
