Rise in the glory of the king system

Chapter 722
On the top of the clouds, Feiheng Mountain God and Wuling Immortal were flying against the wind, and their ears were filled with the hunting hurricane at their flying speed.Zhuge Liang's voice was barely caught by Han Xin in the wind.

"Han Xin, your old injury is still unhealed, do you want to stop first?"

Han Xin really stopped when he heard the words. He looked down at the vast continent below and the houses that were barely visible, and said indifferently, "Go to Wu."

Zhuge Liang paused, and shook the feather fan in his hand.In the past few days, Han Xin has been sulking because Qiao Ying didn't come to his birthday banquet. There is no rush to investigate Ming Shiyin, and it doesn't take time to go to Wu.

Zhuge Liang nodded, and the two turned another direction to Wu.After entering the territory of Wu State, Zhuge Liang and Han Xin concealed the aura and figure of the gods and went straight to the Sun Mansion.

What was unexpected was that after searching with divine power, not only Qiao Ying's aura was gone, but the others were also gone.There are only many servants and housekeepers left in the Sun Mansion.

Han Xin and Zhuge Liang landed in the courtyard where Qiao Ying lived. Han Xin opened the door and entered. The clean room clearly indicated that the owner of the house had left.

Suddenly, what caught his eyes was a pear wooden box on the dressing table. The long and finely carved wooden box was pushed open, and inside lay a golden hairpin with gorgeous workmanship. Shaking into Han Xin's eyes, it hurt his heart.

There was an inconspicuous piece of paper lying in the box. He took it out and glanced at it.It was written in neat regular script: This is a thank you gift from Mr. Sun, and I hope Miss Qiao Ying will accept it.

Han Xin's eyebrows sank a little, his eyes froze, and the evil spirit spread instantly.He looked at the beautiful hairpin, exerted a little force with his two fingers, and the hairpin was easily snapped off by him.

The fire of karma swallowed up the hairpin, and it eventually turned into black charred ashes.There was a smile on Han Xin's lips, and he shook his fingertips to let them fall. His eyes were full of contempt and evil.

"Zhuge Liang, help me use the looking glass, where is Qiao Ying?"

Zhuge Liang summoned the looking glass, and the picture displayed was a mighty team of horses and chariots driving in a slightly barren suburb, and roughly judged along the route, the ultimate destination of the team of horses and chariots was the Kingdom of Shu.

Han Xin raised his eyebrows slightly, his right hand transformed into a spear, brushed Zhuge Liang's shoulder and walked out of the room: "Let's go, let's go to the Kingdom of Shu to investigate the case."

Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, he didn't know what the relationship between Shu and Ming Shiyin was.

……

The inside of the comfortable carriage was lighted with a touch of incense, and the outside of the carriage was cold and windy.And Qiao Wan was sleeping sweetly on Qiao Ying's lap, with her long pale pink hair spread over her shoulders, as if she was not affected by the bumps along the way.

Qiao Ying caressed the girl's long hair, let out a shallow breath, and subconsciously touched the red string on her wrist.She could feel the flame-like heat, which reminded her of Han Xin's protection for her, and Qiao Ying was addicted to this protection.

This time, the mission to Shu Kingdom was because of the kind invitation of Sun Shangxiang and Sun Ce. They said it was a mission, but for Qiao Ying and Qiao Wan who didn't need to attend the palace banquet, it was just to see the local customs and customs. Just stay for a few more days.

The wind outside the window seemed to be getting more and more frenzied. The carriage they were riding in stopped suddenly, and Sun Ce's vague voice came from the front: "Stay and rest—!"

Qiao Ying breathed a sigh of relief, it was really cold outside for her now.Every time the cold wind poured into her body, Qiao Ying realized that the spiritual power Han Xin had left her to protect her body had slowly dissipated.

Thinking of this, a touch of loss quietly jumped in my heart.

A sudden eagle's cry pierced the sky, Qiao Ying was puzzled, she opened the curtain slightly and looked at the sky.

A huge eagle-shaped demon was hovering low in the air, and Qiao Ying collided with the bloody eyes.Qiao Ying's pupils dilated slightly, and she sighed in her heart that it was not good. Before she had time to be surprised, she heard the cries of eagles one after another. This time, it was not a demon-seeded eagle, but a large area.

Panic broke out in the convoy in an instant, and there were exclamations everywhere.Qiao Ying immediately woke up Qiao Wan in her arms, and when the girl was still rubbing her eyelids, she jumped out of the carriage with her in her arms.

Sure enough, the leading demon eagle had already swooped down to the carriage they were riding in.Qiao Ying and Qiao Wan rolled several times on the ground, and when they stopped, they found that the carriage was extremely fragile under the claws of the demon eagle, and it had been torn apart.

Another demon eagle swooped towards the two sisters. Qiao Ying protected Qiao Wan under her body, and hurriedly used the sea pearl to call out a water curtain.The sound of bombardment was heard not far away, and Qiao Ying opened her eyes to see that it was Sun Shangxiang who shot down the monster with a cannon.

Seeing the opportunity, Qiao Ying helped Qiao Wan get up, pushed her to Zhou Yu who came over first, and then transformed into a water rope, winding up from her fingertips to bind a demon eagle, and then turned the water rope into a water sword to kill the demon all kinds.

With the cold wind passing behind her neck, Qiao Ying turned her head in shock, but was crushed to the ground by a figure who rushed towards her. Her back fell heavily on the ground, and she gritted her teeth to swallow the pain. After a closer look, she realized that it was Sun Ce who threw her down.

And the demon-seeded hawk passed by, leaving three bloodstains on Sun Ce's back with its sharp claws.

In response to Sun Shangxiang's cannon fire, the demon eagle fell to the ground.

"Brother—!" Sun Shangxiang called out loudly.

"Sun... General Sun?" Qiao Ying's voice was hoarse, and she was busy helping Sun Ce to sit up.

Sun Ce's eyes fell on Qiao Ying eagerly, and after making sure that she was safe, he looked away again.He supported the ground with his weapon and wanted to stand up, but suddenly there was a sharp pain from the wound behind him, and Sun Ce knelt heavily again.

Qiao Ying's face paled, and her fingertips trembled unavoidably.

Suddenly a hint of peach blossom fragrance floated in the air, and if you followed carefully, it was mixed with the smell of hot fireworks.

The pure white crystals shaped like peach blossoms shot from the sky, and half of the black demon-seeded hawks were shot down immediately.Then a burst of karmic fire ignited, and then the sky was filled with black ash and the feathers that had fallen off from the demon eagle.

Seeing the tragic death of his companions one after another, the leader of the demon eagle spread its wings and circled in the sky for a few weeks, and finally rushed towards Qiao Ying with its claws open.

A flaming spear rushed from the sky and stabbed straight into the demon eagle's head, causing blood to spatter in an instant.

……

The spear was nailed into the ground in front of Qiao Ying. Qiao Ying's lips were slightly parted and she could not speak, but Sun Ce beside him lost his strength for a moment and leaned towards Qiao Ying. Qiao Ying quickly supported him.

When the fighting was over and everything in front of him calmed down, there was already blood flowing all over the place, and the air was filled with disgusting blood and rancidity.

A motorcade of people stared blankly at the god descending from the sky.Zhuge Liang was the first to appear in front of his eyes. The bloody aura did not touch his body at all. He was dressed in white and had a refined expression.He stepped on a pink peach blossom to avoid touching the corpse of the demon seed.

Han Xin landed after consolidating in mid-air, and the fast-rotating karma wheel behind him slowly disappeared.The man's eyes fixed on Qiao Ying's body. Looking closely at him, his eyebrows sank slightly, and his huge aura crushed all the living beings present.

He raised his hand to call, and the spear inserted into the demon eagle's body fell into his hand, and he turned his wrist around and carried it behind his back.

Qiao Ying was stunned at first, then surprised, and then her eyes filled with joy: "Shen Jun..."

Qiao Ying wanted to get up anxiously, but realized that there was an injured Sun Ce beside her.At this time, Sun Ce suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood.She had no choice but to support Sun Ce first, and suddenly felt in a dilemma.

"General Sun, are you okay..." Qiao Yingchi asked, but Sun Ce's lips were already black and blue, and he was speechless.

Zhuge Liang came behind Qiao Ying and Sun Ce waving his feather fan, raised his palm and hit Sun Ce hard on the back, Sun Ce spit out a mouthful of black blood immediately, and the demon energy dissipated.

"Thank you...the two gods for your help." Sun Ce bent in the direction of Zhuge Liang and Han Xin respectively.Qiao Ying glanced at Zhuge Liang and thanked him.

Qiao Ying then raised her eyes to meet Han Xin's gaze. His golden-red pupils were as distant and indifferent as if they had lost their temperature. Qiao Ying was at a loss for what to do with his slightly frowned eyebrows and indifferent expression.

Han Xin looked at her for a moment, then turned and left.Qiao Ying's mind was blank, and her limbs were all stiff.

Zhuge Liang, who was beside him, left a sentence when he left with Han Xin: "I still have a lot of business with Feiheng Shenjun, girl, be careful."

It turns out that the appearance of Han Xin is because it is their business to solve these terrifying demon seeds.

Not for her...

Qiao Ying lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly.When the two met again, she actually didn't say a word to Han Xin.When she saw him, she joyfully called out to God, but Han Xin just stood there from a distance, with the strong air pressure around him ruthlessly exerted on her.

All the surrounding sounds were blocked by Qiao Ying, only depression and sadness filled her brain, hitting her heart like a wave.

"Miss, I didn't read it wrong, right? It's a god..."

Everyone present, like Sun Shangxiang, was first frightened dumb by the unheard of demon species, and then dumbfounded by the two legendary gods.

……

"Han Xin, when you see that girl, why don't you say anything to her?" Zhuge Liang stopped Han Xin's way and looked at him suspiciously.

"Why does she want to see me?"

He took Qiao Ying to Qingqiu to accompany him to the wedding banquet before, but he just missed her and wanted her to accompany him for a few more days.Qiao Ying, on the other hand, only wanted to rush back to Wu.If I had known earlier, I should have stopped Zhuge Liang from rescuing people and let Sun Ce die from the poison.

Han Xin has a domineering and arrogant temper. In the past, he thought that if he wanted something, he could just take it by force.But now facing Qiao Ying, he had no way to rush forward and order her with a strong attitude.

It's true that he wanted Qiao Ying, but he didn't want to face the fact that Qiao Ying didn't like him.But since he wants it, he will definitely get it.

After thinking about it, Han Xin lowered his eyes slightly, and the deepest malice in the world was in his eyes.

……

This attack by the demon eagle scared Wu Guo and his party to pack up their luggage and set off on the road to Shu again.Sun Ce's injury showed no signs of getting worse, and he didn't encounter any twists and turns along the way.

A few days later, the officials of Shu Kingdom stood in front of the gate of Shu Kingdom and welcomed the envoys of Wu Kingdom into the country.Qiao Ying led Qiao Wan and stood at the back, looking at the grand and luxurious scene in front of her, looking at the towering city wall, she couldn't help but think of Jiangdong in the past.

As the real envoys of Wu State, Sun Ce and his party were naturally invited into the royal city by walking the palace road all the way.And Qiao Ying and Qiao Wan were led to their residence in Shu Kingdom for the past few days.

The large courtyard is beautifully decorated, heavily guarded, and the environment is beautiful and quiet.The most important thing is to have a pond. Because the weather in Shu is relatively warm, the carp in the pond are still swimming freely with their tails waving.

Qiao Ying chose a quiet courtyard, and she didn't bring A Li with her when she came out this time, and she didn't know when A Li would transform into a human form again.

After getting everything settled, Qiao Ying took Qiao Wan to the street. She didn't understand medical principles, so she could only go to the pharmacy to buy some tonics that the injured could drink.Fortunately, the people of Shu State are as amiable and simple as Wu State, and she has no difficulty in negotiating.

At night, Sun Ce and his party returned to the mansion.The two sisters went out to greet her, but they saw Sun Shangxiang rushing into the house carrying her cannon, followed by several maids who kept calling her Miss.

After getting Qiao Ying's acquiescence, Qiao Wan ran to find Sun Shangxiang with her skirt in hand.

"My lords, Shang Xiang is...?"

Sun Ce frowned and looked at the direction Sun Shangxiang was leaving, with a helpless and heavy tone: "She's just playing petty temper."

After saying that, he looked at Qiao Ying, his handsome face was a little pale in the night: "What's the matter, Ms. Qiao?"

Qiao Ying lowered her eyes slightly, and raised the medicine bag in her hand: "I thank General Sun for saving my life before, but Qiao Ying doesn't understand medical principles, so I had to go to the street and buy some soup and medicine for you."

Sun Ce didn't reply for a long time, but his eyes were shining with surprise and joy.He reached out to take Qiao Ying's medicine and stuttered: "Thank you, thank you."

With a smile on the corner of Qiao Ying's mouth, she just nodded slightly, then turned and left.Sun Ce, who was at a loss, and Zhou Yu, who was smiling and teasing, were left.

Having been friends for many years, Zhou Yu has already seen Sun Ce's thoughts. It is really interesting that the iron-blooded man who is fighting on the battlefield will show such an expression one day.

At the same time, on the eaves sat a god dressed in moonlight, staring at the scene in front of him with downcast eyes. He was sitting in a domineering and domineering posture, and because of the anger in his heart, he smashed a piece of blue tile with his feet.The flame spear was placed beside him, burning aggressively in the night.

There was contempt, arrogance, and dangerous anger in those eyes.

……

Qiao Ying went to Sun Shangxiang's yard and found the girl. The girl got a few jars of wine from somewhere, and drank happily with the wine bottles.A wine jar was also broken on the ground, and the clear liquid was scattered all over the ground, and a strong aroma of wine floated in the air.

Qiao Wan sat beside Sun Shangxiang, smelling the smell of alcohol and coughing lightly, looking like she wanted to cry, but she didn't know how to stop it, so she could only persuasion blindly.

"Shang Xiang, you can't drink anymore, these are all wine!"

Qiao Ying sighed lightly, walked over and stroked Qiao Wan's temples: "Wan'er go back to sleep first, I'll accompany Shang Xiang."

Qiao Wan nodded and quickly left the scene.Qiao Ying sat beside Sun Shangxiang and gently took the wine bottle from Sun Shangxiang's arms.

"Shang Xiang, can you tell me what's wrong with you?"

When Sun Shangxiang saw Qiao Ying, his expression froze, and then he burst into tears, and buried his flushed face into Qiao Ying's arms.

"Sister Qiao Ying, my big brother, he wants to marry me to the king of Shu!"

Qiao Ying was so shocked by the girl's appearance, she smiled helplessly after sorting out the ins and outs of the matter.

"The monarch of the Kingdom of Shu...is the surname Liu?"

"It's him, that bad guy named Liu Bei, why should I marry him!"

"Why don't you want to marry him?" Qiao Ying gently patted Sun Shangxiang on the back.

Sun Shangxiang raised her face sharply, and pointed to the wine bottle in Qiao Ying's arms: "Sister Qiao Ying will drink with me, and I will tell you."

Qiao Ying frowned slightly when she heard this, and looked at the wine in her hand.It's not that she didn't drink alcohol in Jiangdong before, but she didn't drink well.

Seeing that Sun Shangxiang was about to make a fuss again, she had no choice but to agree. Thinking that it was just a cup, she raised her head and drank it.The wine was very pungent and had a strong aftertaste. Qiao Ying didn't even recover from coughing several times.

"Now can you tell me why?"

Sun Shangxiang leaned into Qiao Ying's arms: "Because... because I don't like him. What I want to marry is a hero who fights on the battlefield like my brother, not a flower born in an emperor and loved by thousands of people."

Because she didn't like it - Qiao Ying was slightly taken aback, and frowned unconsciously.

Sun Shangxiang was drunk, and now he started to laugh again: "Sister Qiao Ying, let me tell you quietly, my brother likes you, do you want to consider being my... my sister-in-law?"

Qiao Ying smiled helplessly, she was not a dull person, she could understand Sun Ce's actions and expressions.She thought for a while, and said slowly: "Shang Xiang, you don't want to marry someone you don't like, but you may not be able to marry someone you like."

"Who said that! I must marry the person I like."

"Then who is the person you like?"

Sun Shangxiang began to giggle again: "Sister Qiao Ying has another glass of wine, and I'll tell you."

I don't know if the glass of wine just now was too strong, but at this moment Qiao Ying already felt a little dizzy, so she just poured a glass of wine and drank it.

Sun Shangxiang smiled with satisfaction: "When I was traveling abroad, I met a man. He was extremely brave and powerful in martial arts, but he always wore a mask. I have never seen his face. But he is the man I like..."

The night is quiet, the moon is on the branches.The strong smell of alcohol disrupted people's way of thinking.

"Sister Qiao Ying, do you have someone you like..."

Qiao Ying was drinking slowly, and when she heard Sun Shangxiang's question, only Han Xin's figure came into her mind, as if the whole world was full of him.

"Maybe... yes."

He holds a spear in his hand, has flying red hair, is tall and tall, and has a pair of red-gold eyes looking down at the common people, full of self-important arrogance.

He teased her and teased her to make her lose her composure, but he protected her from many dangers, and even endured the punishment of thunder for her.

But he is also a god above the common people, and his mortal relationship with her is even more different.

"It's just that he doesn't like me either."

The more Qiao Ying thought about sending a group of beauties from Qingqiu to Han Xin, the more uncomfortable she felt.She would wonder if Han Xin treats her frivolously and closely because he regards her as a flirtatious female pet. Now that he is tired of it, he treats her coldly.

Tranquil nights can best breed sadness, coupled with the brewing of spirits, Qiao Ying's mood was uncontrollably filled with sadness and bitterness.

Under Sun Shangxiang's guidance, Qiao Ying inexplicably drank two or three more glasses of wine.The two chatted one after another, but they were both drunk.

The voice of servants could be heard vaguely in the distance, a group of maids appeared in the courtyard, one of them cleaned up the mess, and the others picked up Sun Shangxiang on Qiao Ying's body.

The drunken Sun Shangxiang was like a puddle of ooze, which could not be lifted by a single person.Qiao Ying rubbed her stinging temple, waved her hand, and said slowly, "Send Missy back, I can go back by myself."

But on the way back to the yard, Qiao Ying realized how strong the wine was.At first taste it was just a nose-punch, but when the aftertaste surged up, it made her dizzy, with pain in her head, the things in front of her were shaking violently, the scenes overlapped, and even gradually began to become blurred.

With great difficulty, Qiao Ying walked back to the courtyard and entered her room with the last of her reason, the sentimentality triggered by Han Xin and the remorse for her impulsive drinking tonight.So at the moment she feels uncomfortable and just wants to sleep well.
