Chapter 816: Victory

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Su Xiaoxiao remembered that Tong Ke had been injured in the snow mountain a while ago. However, even so, he was still invincible against an expert like Qi Jin. He could even be said to be at ease.

He had the longest saber in the world. His moves were wide and powerful, and were extremely lethal.

Qi Jin was forced off his horse by Tong Ke and rolled on the ground. He stood up in a sorry state and glared fiercely at Tong Ke!

Tong Ke did not waste his breath on him. He tapped the ground with his saber and jumped up, kicking Qi Jin in the chest.

Qi Jin crossed his arms to block and was forced back a few steps. He only stopped when he collided with a soldier from Northern Yan.

Su Xiaoxiao led the archers to find a target in the killing army. This was much more difficult than before. After all, they could not accidentally injure their own people.

However, they had actually already killed a lot. Even Helian Ye felt envious and afraid of the combat strength of the Divine Bow Camp. Helian Ye had always wanted to nurture a Divine Bow Camp like the Wei family, but unfortunately, he could not do anything about it.

The advantage of the Northern Yan army was the size of their cavalry; it was almost two to three times that of the Great Zhou cavalry. This brought a lot of pressure to the Qin family’s iron cavalry.

Someone approached Tong Ke’s back and Su Xiaoxiao shot an arrow through his chest.

Tong Ke looked up and saw Su Xiaoxiao suppressing the Northern Yan soldiers with arrows. The blood in his body began to boil.

They were not the only ones protecting Missy. Missy was also protecting them.

Just as the two sides were in the midst of an intense battle, Zhang Duo, who was wrapped in gauze, realized that something was wrong in the south. “Young Madam, look! It’s Jia County!”

Su Xiaoxiao turned around and looked in the direction he was pointing. “Wu Yan? Something happened in Jia County!”

Zhang Duo was puzzled. “Jia County has 20,000 troops and has made such a quiet deployment. Why did something happen?”

Su Xiaoxiao stood up. “I’m not sure. I have to take a look! Can you still command?”

The 20,000 people in Jia County were not used to feed Tuoba Lie. After killing Tuoba Lie, they had to rush back to continue fighting. Otherwise, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and it would be very difficult to defeat Helian Ye.

Zhang Duo suddenly pulled the gauze tight and tied a knot. He gritted his teeth and said, “I can!”

“Alright, I’ll leave this to you.”

Su Xiaoxiao turned around and went down the hill. She killed a Northern Yan cavalryman, snatched his horse, and dashed toward Jia County.

Halfway there, Tong Ke followed.

“Miss!”

“Why are you here? Where’s Qi Jin?”

“Killed him. The Grand Marshal asked me to protect you.”

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t refuse.

The two of them sped all the way to Jia County.

The city gate was a mess, but there was not much blood. There was not much fighting here.

The two of them entered the city.

The street was empty. There was no soldier in sight.

“Dismount!”

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly said.

Tong Ke did not question anything and firmly obeyed the order.

After the two of them dismounted, they hid the horses in an alley and circled to the nearby market from the other end.

This was once the largest market in Jia County. Now that the commoners did not set up their stalls, it had been empty for a few days. Now, it was filled with troops from both sides.

Leng Zhao was tied to a pillar, and Tuoba Lie sat arrogantly at the side. He was surrounded by the soldiers of Northern Yan, and Leng Hua led the Great Zhou army to confront him in the open space 30 steps away.

What happened was very simple—Tuoba Lie captured Leng Zhao alive and threatened Leng Hua with him, forcing him to disarm the Leng family and surrender.

The smoke signal was burned by the spies of the Crimson Shadow Army that Su Xiaoxiao had left in the city.

“Hand him over!” Tuoba Lie said coldly.

Leng Hua said seriously, “I told you, I don’t know who burned the smoke signal!”

Tuoba Lie sneered. “You’re unwilling to hand it over, right? Alright, I’ll give you a choice. I’ll cut off one of your father’s hands, or you can choose a hundred people of your own to kill and apologize!”

Leng Hua clenched his fists tightly.

Tuoba Lie said mockingly, “Actually, it’s useless even if you release the smoke signal. Do you really think anyone will dare to come and save you? Our

100,000-strong army of Northern Yan has long broken through your Broken North Pass! I’ll count to three. Whether it’s to protect your father’s hand or the lives of a hundred soldiers, it’s up to you. One!”

“Two!”

A hint of conflict appeared in Leng Hua’s eyes.

“How’s your qinggong?” Su Xiaoxiao asked Tong Ke softly.

Tong Ke said, “Very good.”

“That’s good.” Su Xiaoxiao took off the golden bow from her back, drew an arrow, drew the bow, and shot it at Tuoba Lie.

Tuoba Lie sensed a murderous aura coming at him and hurriedly dodged, falling off the chair.

“Guards! Protect the general!”

There was a moment of chaos at the event location.

Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly shot a second arrow, breaking the rope on Leng Zhao’s body. Tong Ke used his qinggong and stepped over the heads of the Northern Yan soldiers. He grabbed Leng Zhao and brought him out in the chaos.

Seeing this, Leng Hua could not care less what was going on. He drew his sword and was about to rush forward. Su Xiaoxiao shouted, “Retreat!”

Leng Hua was stunned.

This voice…

There was no time to think. At the critical moment of life and death, he looked at his father who had been taken away by Tong Ke and gritted his teeth to give the order to retreat.

As soon as everyone left the market, Su Xiaoxiao immediately shot at a roof behind Tuoba Lie.

There was a mechanism hidden there.

In an instant, the wall exploded, and countless fist-sized sandbags flew out of the house. The Northern Yan army thought that they were hidden weapons and raised their swords to slash.

The contents of the sandbag scattered all over the ground.

Su Xiaoxiao took out a dart and waved her hand to throw it, hitting a Northern Yan soldier’s spear. The dart went off immediately, and sparks instantly ignited the sandbag on the ground.

With a few loud bangs, a large number of Northern Yan soldiers were blown up!

Tuoba Lie fled quickly, but he also fell to the ground from the shock, two of his front teeth falling off!

Leng Hua arrived at the alley and saw Su Xiaoxiao, confirming his guess.

He was shocked. “Why are you here? Aren’t you…”

Su Xiaoxiao finished his sentence calmly. “Wasn’t I captured by your Leng

Ziling? Where’s the person controlling the mechanism?”

She gave Leng Hua a mechanism map and asked her men to bring Leng Hua’s troops to identify the mechanism.

Leng Hua opened his mouth. “He was captured and killed by Tuoba Lie. The mechanism was also destroyed by Tuoba Lie.”

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t waste her breath on him and blew the bone whistle.

In an instant, more than a hundred Crimson Shadow Soldiers rushed out of the houses from all directions.

Su Xiaoxiao said to everyone, “Follow the plan!”

Everyone agreed. “Yes! Boss!”

Leng Hua looked at the Crimson Shadow Army that quickly disappeared into the various alleys and was stunned. He said, “They’re also in charge of the mechanism. You… never trusted us from the beginning?”

Su Xiaoxiao said expressionlessly, “I’m used to making two preparations. I never bet on others!”

Leng Hua was speechless.

The mechanisms in the city were not set up yesterday. Some had indeed been set up yesterday, but most of them were set up with the soldiers when Fu Su was around.

Tuoba Lie’s army encountered fire attacks, water attacks, rock formations, arrow formations, poison formations… They were all mechanisms and formations that Su Xiaoxiao had learned from the peach forest of the White Lotus Society.

Leng Hua listened to the screams of Tuoba Lie’s army and felt his hair stand on end!
