C23 Catch the Thief First and Capture the King First

"Brat, you actually dare to use tricks!"

When the man realized he had been tricked, his eyes immediately darkened. With lightning speed, he dove towards Ling Luo. He grabbed her by the collar and raised his hand to slap her head.

"Wait a minute!"

Ling Luo said in fear, her hands tightly protecting her head. According to her theory, breaking her arms and legs was fine, she mustn't hurt her head, as this was one of the most important items.

"Hmm? "More words?" The man pinched her neck like an ant, his torch-like eyes sweeping across her face, "Brat, I've never met a living person who escaped from my hands. You're very brave."

"Good man, I see that you are not an object in the pond. A small soldier like me shouldn't enter your eyes, right? As the saying goes, capturing a thief first means capturing a king. Why don't you kill our Great General first before coming to kill me? "

She looked at this man with a 'go and kill him, I am actually your victim' gaze, as though she did not think that such an attitude would be able to humiliate the might of Yan State in the slightest.

"What? You really want Great General to die?"

The man stared at her as if he was looking at a monster, and the corner of his mouth unconsciously twitched. He had traveled far and wide for so many years, but he had never encountered such a bold traitor.

"Well, I'm just making an analogy. Look, I'm just a nobody. You will have to expend a lot of effort to kill me. Then, your final goal will still be us, Great General, right? But who are we, Great General? A man with unrivaled Yan State and martial arts skills, ordinary people would be inferior to ants in front of him. You wasted so much energy to deal with me, how would you have the strength to deal with Great General? "

She saw the man's pensive look and paused before continuing, "Do you think I'm right? You painstakingly infiltrated our Yan State, and even killed our messenger to plot against us, but all of you were seen through by Great General. Killing him is a hundred times better than killing ten thousand me. "

"Brat, I didn't expect you to be so big, but your opinions are quite unique. "Alright, since you care so much about me, let's go find your Great General and find misfortune."

The man raised his eyebrows, revealing a resplendent smile on his weathered face. Ling Luo quietly swallowed her saliva. She felt a chill down her spine, as if someone was staring at her. She looked around timidly, but saw nothing.

"This... I don't need to go, do I? I will be decapitated as a rebel. " She glanced at her big hands, which were clutching her collar tightly in front of her chest. They were rough and strong, and they didn't look like a straw bag.

What should he do? Escaping seemed unrealistic, but the most important thing was that he didn't have the tools to do so. He had left in a hurry and brought no one with him. Even her most flirtatious fan had fallen.

"Do you think you don't need to chop off your head just because it's in my hands? "Let's go!"

The man picked her up and suddenly rose into the air, flying towards the army like an eagle. His qinggong was excellent, and he was definitely not an ordinary person. This made Ling Luo deeply feel that she had reached the end of her life earlier than expected.

Just as they reached the entrance of the fortress, a red horse appeared at the intersection. Who else could it be other than Jun Ximo sitting on the horse? He looked down at the man with an awe-inspiring arrogance, and his deep eyes were filled with frost.

"Tuoba Ye, you sure are bold. You even dare to charge into the Yan State realm."

"Jun Ximo, this King also did not expect that old man Jun Aotian would send you out to battle. I wonder if you overestimated your ability or if you are just looking to die."

So his name was Tuoba Ye, and he was the crown prince of Northern Jin State, Tuoba Hong's bravest and bravest son. Being in his hands was truly bad luck.

Ling Luo cast a sidelong glance at him and secretly pinched a sharp little dagger that was wrapped around her sleeve. If he really was going to kill her, she definitely wouldn't sit still and wait for death.

Jun Ximo glanced at Ling Luo and his gaze turned colder. The words she told Tuoba Ye to kill him just now were all taken in by him. He should have beheaded this greedy kid last night.

"To be honest, This King really doesn't know why you went through so much trouble for Jun Aotian. He probably never spoiled you, right? Have you ever felt respected before? "

"Why, are you so interested in This King's family matters? "Men are ambitious. Those who have grown up in adversity are the best. Didn't you, Father, teach you that?" He looked at Ling Luo who was being carried like a little chick, then lightly frowned. "It seems like you are holding a soldier of Yan State in your hand, right? Do you need This King to personally make you let go? "

"Yo, I forgot to tell you. This kid just told me to kill you first. He said that your martial arts are unrivalled and wise. Killing you would be better than killing a hundred of him."

Tuoba Ye glared viciously at Ling Luo as he spoke, causing her face to turn pale again and again. She stole a glance at Jun Ximo in shame and felt a chill run down her spine.

"You are quite knowledgeable. You know that This King will be able to kill you effortlessly, so I just don't want to waste my life." Jun Ximo easily dispelled Tuoba Ye's provocation, but his sharp eyes were still staring at Ling Luo.

"Really?" This King would like to see how you can kill me. "

Tuoba Ye roared, suddenly took out a soft whip from his waist, raised it and waved it towards Jun Ximo.

He didn't let go of Ling Luo. Instead, he grabbed her and shook her from side to side, causing her to tumble back and forth in a sorry state. She had never been so insulted before. She suddenly became angry and quietly shook out the dagger in her sleeve.

Jun Ximo took out the Longsword at his waist and jumped towards Tuoba Ye while swinging his sword.

The people of the Northern Desert were kind to long whips, so when he danced, he was like a dragon coming out of the water, sealing himself so tightly that the sword Qi could not get close to him.

"Hah!"

Tuoba Ye roared angrily. The long whip brought along a strong gust of wind as it came smashing down towards Jun Ximo. Layers of fallen leaves on the ground were swept up by the long whip and shot towards him at the same time like darts.

A fierce look flashed past Jun Ximo's eyes, the Longsword rushed straight into the sky and wrapped around the dragon-like whip a few times. With a few loud 'clang clang' sounds, the long whip was cut into pieces and dropped in front of Tuoba Ye.

Looking at the long whip in his hand that was less than a foot long, Tuoba Ye's expression turned extremely cold. He grabbed Ling Luo's hand and tightened his grip.

"I didn't expect the legendary Fourth Prince to be so capable." He threw away the miserable long whip and slowly pulled Ling Luo up into the air. "I've never tried this person's meat shield before. It just so happens that I'm practicing."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly roared loudly and threw Ling Luo towards Jun Ximo.

"Bastard, you can kill but not humiliate!"

She was a proud and pampered Young Lord of the Ice Polar Palace, how could she be used as a weapon by others. With an angry roar, he swung the dagger in his hand and directly stabbed towards Tuoba Ye's stomach.

"Damn it!"

Who would have thought that Ling Luo, who was attacking Jun Ximo with all of her strength, would actually plot against him? She was instantly stabbed in the face and blood started to flow from her wounds.

He staggered as he released her. Suddenly, he raised his head and let out a sharp cry that sounded like the cry of a Vulture.

Ling Luo fell heavily to the ground, her body in a mess. Before she could stand up, she saw hundreds of people holding Crossbow rush out of the forest and shot towards Jun Ximo without hesitation.

Jun Ximo waved his Longsword and cut off all the arrows, falling to the ground. However, there were more and more people appearing in the forest, there seemed to be two to three hundred of them.

These people had Crossbow s in their hands, so they didn't need to spend too much effort to attack people. No matter how strong Jun Ximo's martial arts was, it would be hard for him to escape.

Seeing that, Ling Luo suddenly pounced towards Tuoba Ye. Before he could react, the dagger was already aimed at his carotid artery.

"All of you retreat, towards the north, or I'll kill him!"

She was not tall, but because Tuoba Ye had always underestimated her, her dagger had landed accurately. He only needed to cut gently, and he would definitely die. His subordinates were all stupefied, and they stood there at a loss of what to do.

"Hmm? Not retreat? "

Ling Luo's eyes turned cold as she knocked her knee against Tuoba Ye's injured abdomen. Although the lethality was not great, it was enough to make him pale.

"Stop, you stop, we retreat!"

"Retreat from the Yan State border!"

"Release the young prince, we'll leave immediately!" The leader was probably Tuoba Ye's follower, causing his red face to turn pale from fright.

"Great General, what do you think about this?"

Ling Luo wasn't sure as she smiled awkwardly at Jun Ximo. She was only doing this to make up for her mistake.

After all, her actions just now were indeed a bit excessive. As a parasite of the Yan State army, she still had to occasionally protect her own country's interests.

Jun Ximo didn't know what her dog legs were thinking. He smiled arrogantly, walked forward and knocked out Tuoba Ye with a knife, then coldly looked around the group of people.

"Go back and tell your Prince Tuoba Hong, if you want people, then call back all the people who infiltrated Yan State within half a month. Also, call back all the people who came within two hundred kilometers of the border. Otherwise, don't blame this king for breaking his back. "

He spoke lightly, but his eyes were sharp, scaring the follower even more.

"... We will explain Great General's words to our prince later. Please treat our young prince well, otherwise, we will not be able to report to you. "

"Good, Yan State is a nation of etiquette, towards captives, we have always treated them with respect!"

"Hmph, farewell."

"Bye!"

After all the people left, Ling Luo moved closer to Jun Ximo and bared her teeth at him, "Great General, actually, I told him that just to delay for a little while."

"Is that so?" Jun Ximo tied up Tuoba Ye and threw him onto the horse's back. He coldly glanced at Ling Luo and said, "Do you want someone to kill This King?"

"How could that be? You're so strong and strong, this little one already knew he was no match for you, so I dared to say that." She was blushing.

"Oh, so you're not a rebel?"

"Definitely not, I definitely have the heart of a virgin towards Yan State, and I really worship Great General."

"Since you are so sincere, you should continue to scout ahead. Due to the merit of capturing the thief, This King will not pursue this matter for now. "

Jun Ximo said as he passed the reins to her.

"No need, Great General. You should just ride the horse. This little one is just a soldier. I can't accept such kind of treatment." Ling Luo waved her hand and refused to accept the reins.

"Why are you talking so much nonsense when you're the one leading the horse?" Jun Ximo threw the reins to her and jumped onto the horse's back. He looked into the distance with a cold and proud expression and said, "Walk faster, you have to catch up with the train ahead of us before nightfall."

"..."

Ling Luo looked at him embarrassedly, her lips twitching as she took the reins and walked in front of him. She vaguely heard the suppressed laughter on the surface, and wished she could find a hole to hide in.

The two of them walked further and further away, but they didn't notice a pair of sinister eyes staring at them from the jungle as they disappeared.
