Speaking of Shen Qingge, the reason why she was willing to expose the secret of her ability to tam beasts in public was actually because she had already carefully considered it in her mind.

Just now, when she was rushing down from the city gate, she had already keenly sensed the breath of the Water Qilin.

However, she suppressed the joy that welled up in her heart and quickly glanced around at the situation without making any expression.

With her own strength, she could certainly defeat the thousands of soldiers around her alone, but it would undoubtedly be an arduous battle and would require a lot of time and energy.

Not only that, facing these hundreds of wounded remnants of the Hexi Army, if she wanted to use teleportation to take them away safely, even if she used all her skills, it would be difficult to ensure that everyone could escape danger unscathed.

In this case, we might as well release the Water Qilin to display its power!

In this way, not only can everyone witness with their own eyes the earth-shaking power of this mythical beast, but it can also boost morale.

After all, she planned to raise the banner of justice and resist the tyrannical Emperor Xiaowu Xiao Mo.

The cause was the escape of the Hexi Army, which disrupted her original plan.

Marshal Liu Fu fled here despite being ill. It was absolutely impossible for Xiao Heng or herself to turn a blind eye and stand idly by.

However, as the saying goes, "the truth will eventually come out", it was only a matter of time before Xiao Mo found out about this.

He has always regarded Xiao Heng as a serious threat, like a thorn in his eyes and a thorn in his flesh, and he always wants to get rid of him as soon as possible.

I was just worrying about not being able to find a suitable excuse to take action, and this opportunity just fell from the sky, didn't it?

By then, Xiao Mo's army will be approaching, and they will have to rebel even if they don't want to.

If that’s the case, why didn’t you rebel earlier?

However, new problems also arise!

Do the officials and people in the Lingnan region really dare to rebel?

Even though the brief exchange with Li Cheng just now made her realize that they must have solid evidence that Xiao Mo murdered his father and usurped the throne, what could she do?

In the eyes of the public, the gap in strength between the two sides is too huge, like the difference between heaven and earth.

Faced with such an absolute disparity in power, they can only dare to condemn it on a moral level at best.

However, when the Water Qilin appeared, the situation was completely different.

After all, there are always a few people who know the value of things and can recognize that this is a mythical beast from ancient times.

As a result, the voices of moral accusation that originally existed were now coupled with the protection from the power of the gods, and the courage to resist naturally surged in the hearts of the people.

Therefore, the Water Qilin was actually released intentionally by Shen Qingge, and the effect it produced was immediate.

Look at this moment, not only the remnants of the Hexi Army following behind her looked at her with admiration, even when they arrived at the city gate just now, the soldiers guarding the city looked at her as if they saw a goddess descending from heaven.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Shen Qingge went straight to where Xiao Heng was.

At this moment, Xiao Heng did not fully understand the cause and effect of the whole matter. The reason why he ordered the city gate to be opened was purely out of his unreserved trust in Shen Qingge.

He was still a little confused at this moment.

As everyone got closer, he was able to clearly see one of them. It turned out to be the commander of the Hexi Army, Liu Fu, whom he had met once or twice before!

In an instant, he understood and realized that this matter was probably far more complicated than he had previously imagined.

Marshal Liu Fu was seen trembling as he tried to bow to show his respect, but he was quick-witted and quickly waved away the gesture.

Then, Xiao Heng quickly turned around and instructed his subordinates:

"Hurry and get a carriage nearby!"

Soon, a carriage was pulled up.

Xiao Heng said in a gentle voice:

"Marshal Liu Fu, you are injured. Why don't you stay at my Lingnan Palace first and make some plans later?"

After saying this, he specifically instructed his men to take good care of Marshal Liu Fu and his entourage.

Liu Fu wanted to refuse, but his injuries were too severe, so he had no choice but to obey.

Just as everyone was preparing to set off for the Lingnan Palace, the meticulous Xiao Heng suddenly remembered something.

He quickly gave the order:

"Immediately dispatch elite troops to strictly guard the city gates. Do not slack off in the slightest!

Also, quickly send someone two steps ahead to inform Cang Feng of the Imperial Guard Battalion, and have him lead a team of elite soldiers to guard the city gate, just in case! "

After everything was arranged, the group headed towards the Lingnan Palace in a mighty procession.

It didn't take long before we arrived at our destination.

Yun Yi, who had already received the news and went out to greet them, hurried over when he saw everyone arriving.

Xiao Heng gave a few brief instructions and then ordered Yun Yi to quickly find a proper place to live for these hundreds of people.

At the same time, he did not forget to call the court doctors and asked them to treat Marshal Liu Fu's injuries as soon as possible.

After the treatment of the palace physician, and with the precious elixirs and spiritual spring water provided by Shen Qingge, Marshal Liu Fu's originally serious injuries were significantly alleviated, and his complexion gradually recovered a lot.

Seeing that Marshal Liu Fu's condition had improved, everyone finally made time to sit together and discuss the ins and outs behind the whole incident in detail.

Liu Fu lay on the bed with a pale face. He raised his hands with difficulty and tremblingly fumbled out a few blood-stained papers from his arms.

Every piece of paper was densely covered with words, and these were the solid evidence pointing to Xiao Mo's patricide and usurpation of the throne!

He handed the paper respectfully to Lingnan King Xiao Heng and said breathlessly:

"Your Majesty... please take a look!"

At this moment, Li Cheng, who had been waiting by the bed, took a deep breath and stopped him:

"Marshal, you should rest first. Let me take care of what happens next!"

So, Li Cheng slowly began to recount all the thrilling experiences he had had in the past month or two.

Originally, ever since the Hexi Army raised its flag to rebel against Xiao Mo, the soldiers' morale was high and they were unstoppable. They advanced triumphantly all the way and attacked the imperial city.

Along the way, good news came frequently, and the dawn of victory seemed to be just around the corner.

However, as the saying goes, there are unexpected events in life, no one expected that a "Cheng Yaojin" would suddenly appear halfway through the journey - Beirong, and launched a fierce attack on the Hexi army!

You know, the people of Beirong are tough by nature. They are all good at riding and shooting arrows, and they are extremely strong, just like ferocious beasts.

Xiao Mo's army excels in wisdom and tactics, and the two sides complement each other perfectly.

As a result, in the face of this sudden change, the Hexi army fell into a dilemma of being attacked from both sides.

Xiao Mo and Beirong cooperated closely with each other and launched a brutal and ruthless pincer attack on the Hexi Army.

Although the poor Hexi soldiers were brave and good at fighting, they were ultimately outnumbered and had to retreat step by step, suffering heavy losses.

They fled here aimlessly, but unexpectedly, a blessing in disguise came true. They met Shen Qingge, who saved them from danger.
