We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

Finished!

The surrounding imperial guards felt a chill in their hearts when they saw this scene.

The superior who delivered the imperial edict was dead. Even if these people were lucky enough to escape, it would be a serious crime of dereliction of duty.

Looking at Huo Duanli again, he was still indifferent, and even looked at the carriage as if he was watching a show.

The imperial guards couldn't help but curse inwardly, the noble families were indeed so heartless!

Now that his elder brother is dead, he, the younger brother, has a greater chance of inheriting the family business, so he just stands by and watches, right?

bump--

At this moment, the sound of flesh colliding was heard.

Everyone subconsciously looked towards the carriage, only to see a burly figure suddenly fly out backwards!

The figure fell to the muddy ground. When everyone looked again, they saw blood gushing from his mouth and nose, and his skull was deeply sunken...

It was the Khitan leader!

Swah——

As everyone was stunned, a white figure flashed out of the carriage, stretched out a slightly slender arm, and grabbed the reins of the Khitan leader's mount.

The horse seemed frightened and struggled backwards.

However, no matter how hard it tried, its four hooves were still stuck in the mud and could not move at all.

"Cough cough cough, be good... don't move." Huo Duanxiao covered his mouth with one hand and held the reins firmly with the other hand.

The thin body seemed to contain terrifying strength. The tall horse widened its eyes in horror, but its body continued to move closer to Huo Duanxiao.

After closing the distance, Huo Duanxiao flashed and jumped onto the horse smoothly.

A Khitan cavalryman suddenly rode up and thrust out the spear in his hand while screaming.

Without even raising his eyelids, Huo Duanxiao grabbed the spear barrel with his right hand like lightning and gently pulled it back...

The Khitan cavalry only felt a sharp pain and heat in their palms, and the spears in their hands flew out of their hands.

Looking down again, both palms were already bloody.

While he was stunned, the spear came whistling and pierced his heart.

Huo Duanxiao swung the cavalryman's body casually, and it flew out like a rag, knocking another Khitan cavalryman off his horse.

Weighing the spear in his hand, Huo Duanxiao frowned in dissatisfaction, forcibly suppressed the urge to cough, and spurred his horse to charge towards the next Khitan cavalry.

The unfortunate fellow only heard a whistling sound, and then the world spun around him. When everything settled down, he could only see his warhorse galloping away.

The imperial guards were stunned.

The frail Shangguan, who looked like he could be blown down by a gust of wind, now charged straight into the enemy camp with only a horse and a gun!

The Khitan cavalry is famous for its fierce fighting ability, and no one can be his match!

In just a moment, the white robe was stained with the blood of the enemy and turned into a blood robe!

Huo Duanli stabbed the Khitan cavalryman opposite with a spear in the neck, and looked at his second brother who seemed to be possessed by the god of death in the distance, with admiration in his eyes.

My second brother is a sickly person indeed...

But who says sick people can’t be beaten? !

The Huo family is a family of civil officials, and they tend to focus on civil education over military education in the training of their descendants.

But Huo Duanxiao is different, he seems to be an anomaly.

He has been weak and sickly since childhood, but he is born with supernatural powers.

He became famous in the imperial capital for his talent and knowledge at a young age, but what really made the second-generation officials in the imperial capital remember him was his fists.

The second generation of generals who were somewhat dissatisfied with Huo Duanxiao relied on their family martial arts to make trouble for him in private.

As a result, he coughed and punched each kid at the same time, making them cry and scream, and piss and shit.

Over time, the second generation of generals in the imperial capital began to fear Huo Duanxiao.

Although he coughs up blood just by walking, he can also beat you up until you're covered in blood!

Huo Duanxiao was killing people indiscriminately here, and the noise was also heard at the mine on the other side.

The captain in charge of the garrison gathered more than a hundred cavalrymen and rushed towards the direction where the shouts and screams came from.

When they arrived, they saw the corpses of Khitans all over the ground, and a weak scholar whose robe was stained with blood, but who was still chasing and beating seven or eight Khitan cavalrymen...?

The remaining Khitan cavalry, either stunned or frightened, ran towards the Ninggu cavalry in a panic.

The captain of the Ninggu Army naturally would not be polite and captured them all directly.

Huo Duanxiao rode up on horseback, perhaps because of his overwhelming presence, the captain subconsciously bowed first and said, "This gentleman... uh, brave man... hiss..."

It felt awkward to call him Captain. Huo Duanxiao was covered in blood and didn't look like someone who read sage books.

With this thin figure, calling himself a brave man is just a lie.

Fortunately, Huo Duanxiao smiled slightly and said, "I am an envoy from the imperial court. I have been ordered by His Majesty to leave the country and convey a message to the Prince of Ninggu."

The captain quickly bowed and said, "It's you, sir."

"Please come this way, my lord. My prince is supervising a mine nearby. We'll be there just past that slope."

"Excuse me, please." Huo Duanxiao said kindly.

The captain breathed a sigh of relief and led the group towards the mine.

Huo Duanxiao did not return to the carriage. He simply rode the barbarian leader's horse and followed the captain and others.

Huo Duanli quickened his pace, walking side by side with Huo Duanxiao, and whispered, "Second brother, you suddenly revealed this skill. Are you really going to pledge allegiance to that Ninggu County Prince?"

Huo Duanxiao said calmly: "At this point, do I still have a choice?"

Huo Duanli remained silent, secretly feeling indignant for his second brother.

My second brother has incredible talent and the ability to defeat ten thousand enemies. If he follows a prince who has been exiled to the frontier, isn't that a waste of talent?

"Second brother, if you show your martial arts skills, the Ninggu County King will definitely give you a military position, but you are obviously better at strategy and civil governance."

Huo Duanxiao shook his head calmly: "Becoming a general on the frontier and spending the rest of my life there, wouldn't that be good?"

Huo Duanli sighed upon hearing this and said nothing more.

He knew that his second brother had always had lofty ambitions and wanted to become a prime minister assisting the sage emperor.

Now, he has been sent to a remote frontier town by his father's words. I'm afraid he has become disheartened and unwilling to display his talents.

It is hard to tell whether the Prince of Ninggu is lucky or unlucky, as a man of extraordinary talent has to serve as a warrior under his command!

Just as I was thinking about it, a group of people had already entered the mine.

Huo Duanxiao's attention was immediately attracted.

But I saw a long track running through the entire camp, and wooden carts loaded with ore were being transported out continuously.

Countless miners were waving their tools, clanging against the rock layers, with cloth covering their faces.

Huo Duanxiao withdrew his gaze.

After all, he is the lord of a town. How could he be willing to hang out in the same camp with these miners?

Moreover, there seemed to be many new and interesting things in this mine that he had never seen in Daqing.

This Prince Ninggu seems to be an interesting person.

Just as he was thinking about it, the captain had already led them to a group of wooden houses.

He bowed towards one of the rooms and said, "Your Highness, an envoy from the imperial court is here to see you."

Then, a young man in black with stained clothes raised his head in the wooden house.

Outside the wooden house, Huo Duanxiao, covered in blood, looked at the young man.

Their eyes met, and sparks seemed to light up in the air.
