Snatching Women from the Male Lead

The remaining two people were already scared stupid, squeezing together and shifting back.

Qin Zhao did not even bother to look at them, directly waving her sword to kill the two men!

At the critical moment, the relatively slender man shouted: "You can't kill us, we are Lieutenant Zhenwei's men!"

Qin Zhao stopped her momentum and asked: "Who is Lieutenant Zhenwei?"

The man said: "He is the highest commander of the local garrison. If you kill us, don't even think about mixing around in Mobei Town!"

"A small town garrison commander, I don't even put them in my eyes."

After speaking, Qin Zhao ended the lives of the two men!

The fat man who witnessed the entire bloody scene, shook all over, rolling and crawling to escape.

Qin Zhao shouted for him to stop: "Stand still!"

The fat man looked back in fright, then heard Qin Zhao say: "Get us a clean room."

The fat man nodded vigorously as if he had received amnesty, "I'll go arrange it right away, right away!"

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the fat man came to take Qin Zhao and Qi Yan Su Luo to the new room.

Upon opening the door, it was obvious that the inside had been carefully cleaned up, much better than the so-called superior room they had stayed in before.

Qin Zhao thought to herself: I have made some gains from this misfortune.

The two of them inside, slept a good sleep.

After camping outdoors for more than half a month, they had almost forgotten what it felt like to sleep on a bed.

Therefore, the next day, they did not get up until the sun was high overhead at noon.

After having breakfast, Qin Zhao said: "Let's change to another inn, we can't stay long in a black inn."

Qi Yan Su Luo asked: "How much longer before the army you brought arrives?"

"It should be in the next few days. If any slower, the five cities on the border will be captured by the Chi Rong People."

Qin Zhao learned from 502 that the three cities of Chihua, Yamu, and Mouding had already fallen.

The Northwestern Army was retreating to defend Yunzhong City.

And Mobei Town was under the jurisdiction of Yunzhong City, which was also why Qin Zhao chose to come to Mobei Town.

Qi Yan Su Luo asked again: "Are you going to go to the frontline?"

Qin Zhao gave an affirmative answer: "Of course."

"I'll go with you."

After the conversation they had at Qi Mountain, Qin Zhao no longer confidently believed that Qi Yan Su Luo wanted to accompany her because she was worried about her.

She must have her own purpose, so Qin Zhao replied: "Okay."

The two of them simply tidied up and went out, preparing to leave.

When they walked to the top of the stairs, they discovered that there were more than twenty soldiers standing in the inn lobby, led by a scar-faced military officer who was leisurely drinking.

This was probably the Lieutenant Zhenwei that fat man was talking about!

Qin Zhao pulled Qi Yan Su Luo along, walking calmly down the stairs and continuing toward the door.

As they passed by the scar-faced man, they were hailed: "Please wait, would you ladies accompany me for a drink?"

At the same time, he placed his sword to block their path.

Qin Zhao grabbed the sword away and said, "Good dogs don't block the road!"

Everyone was surprised at the speed of her movement. It took the scar-faced man a good while before he realized he had just been scolded!

He immediately glared and said, "Grab them!"

The twenty some soldiers immediately took action to surround the two women!

Qin Zhao tested the feel of the sword in her hand and found it satisfactory. She leisurely said, "I'm lacking some cannon fodder to practice on, your timely appearance is appreciated."

Her words were too arrogant. The men cursed and rushed over!

Suddenly someone outside the door shouted: "Everyone stop!"

The voice was very majestic, deterring all the soldiers in the lobby.

Everyone looked towards the door and saw a tall figure wearing silver armor and a mask striding over!

Behind this person were about two hundred guards, neatly standing on both sides of the inn's entrance.

Qin Zhao immediately recognized who it was, because the mask this person was wearing was designed by her!

The mask had a structure to change airflow that could convert a woman's voice into a low male voice.

In other words, it could make a higher pitched female voice sound like a male voice.

Huo Jun walked step by step to stand in front of Qin Zhao and knelt down, "Your subordinate, Huo Chengjin, pays respect to Princess Her Highness!"

Qin Zhao felt some distress for Huo Jun, who could only temporarily use the name Huo Chengjin and not show her true face.

She helped Huo Jun up, "No need for courtesy."

Upon hearing Huo Chengjin's name, the scar-faced man abruptly stood up, staring at Huo Jun's mask in disbelief!

He hesitantly asked, "General Huo, why are you here?"

Huo Jun kicked the scar-faced man's knee and scolded, "You do not bow in the presence of Her Highness, do you not want your head?!"

The scar-faced man lost his balance and fell to his knees, his expression extremely ugly!

But things had come to this, he could only lower his head and reluctantly said, "This lowly Lieutenant Zhenwei pays respect to Princess Her Highness!"

Seeing their commander kneel, his brought soldiers also knelt down together, shouting in chorus: "Greetings Princess Her Highness!"

In the corner, the fat man and the inn's attendant hid under a table, thinking about their service attitude toward the princess and fainted from fright.

Qin Zhao allowed them to remain kneeling and left the inn with Qi Yan Su Luo and Huo Jun.

She singled out one guard captain.

The guard walked over respectfully and asked, "Does Your Highness have any orders?"

Qin Zhao said, "Go seal up this inn, all the people working inside are to be sent to the army as laborers."

The guard captain responded, "Yes ma'am!"

Qin Zhao asked Huo Jun, "Where is your encampment located?"

Huo Jun replied, "The troops are stationed fifteen li from Mobei Town and will arrive here tomorrow.

I came ahead with some men to scout the route and coincidentally discovered Your Highness at this inn."

Qin Zhao patted Huo Jun's biceps and said, "You've worked hard these past ten days."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The next day, the main force arrived at Mobei Town. After replenishing drinking water, they set off under Qin Zhao's lead to support the Northwestern Army at Yunzhong City.

On the carriage, Qin Zhao chatted with the beauties.

"Did you all miss me?"

Yu Qingzhu said, "Quite a bit, if you didn't come back soon I would've eaten all your jerky."

Cong Han said, "With Your Highness gone, there was more room and we weren't as cramped!"

Shen Xue was taciturn as always, simply nodding to signify her agreement with Cong Han's words.

Qin Zhao: "......"

She felt provoked by their mudslide-like expression of missing her.

Sitting next to Qin Zhao, Qi Yan Su Luo saw her chatting and joking with everyone. Qi Yan Su Luo felt like she was an extra.

Qin Zhao sensed the low mood from the person beside her and gently caressed the back of Qi Yan Su Luo's hand.

She hoped this little warmth could comfort her.

...

On the third day, Qin Zhao's group arrived at Yunzhong City.

The city was very bleak. The common people guessed they might not win this war.

Some people chose to move their whole families away.

Those who remained were mostly the elderly who had lived enough, unattended children,

As well as the destitute who did not even have enough travel expenses to leave.

Walking through the sparsely populated streets, Qin Zhao's troupe reached the Northwestern Army's campgrounds.

She had the five thousand elite soldiers, as well as Qi Yan Su Luo and the others, remain outside the camp.

Qin Zhao herself led a squad to enter the grounds.

The matter of the Princess embarking to the northwest borders was known to General Ningyuan Yuan Deyi, who was commanding the Northwestern Army.

Therefore, Qin Zhao did not encounter any obstruction.

Arriving at the general's large tent, a man looking like a military officer lifted the curtains and walked out.

He respectfully saluted Qin Zhao, "This lowly Colonel Huaihua Zhou Mingzhi pays respect to Princess Her Highness!"

Qin Zhao asked, "Why is it you, where is General Ningyuan? Shouldn't he be the one to receive Us?"

Zhou Mingzhi's eyes shifted around.

After a while, he said, "General Ningyuan has gone, gone up the city wall to inspect!"

Qin Zhao sneered, "Is that so? Could he not be thinking that the emperor is far away high in the heavens?

Does he think We cannot do anything to him and wants to show Us his prestige?"
