Chapter 269 He is finally back
Outside the hall, Xiao Mo's light red cloak had been dyed dark red.
She leaned on her spear and looked at her companions who had once fought together on the battlefield, her eyes full of disappointment.
"General Ao, you and I have been fighting the enemy in the Western Frontier for over a year. I know you are not someone who cannot distinguish right from wrong. Surrender, and together we will overthrow Qi Yue and fight against Concubine Liang."
The man opposite her had guilt in his eyes and lowered his eyelids, not daring to look her in the eye.
"General Xiao, I appreciate your kindness, but there is no right or wrong on the battlefield. You and I are merely serving our respective masters."
Xiao Mo heard helplessness and inability to control her own affairs from her words, and guessed that his family might have been held hostage.
Just as she was about to ask further questions, the other party slashed at her horizontally.
"General Xiao, the battlefield is not the place to be distracted."
Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough and quickly bent down to avoid it.
"In that case, then take it!" She jumped on her horse and swung her spear straight at the opponent's heart.
The two fought back and forth for more than ten rounds, and both sides showed signs of giving in to the other, so the winner was still undecided.
Qi Yue stood with his hands behind his back, watching the people fighting and retreating under the city wall, and winked at Yuan Mu who was waiting on the side.
After a while, Yuan Mu appeared behind General Ao with a sword in hand.
He had a clear goal. With a wave of his hand, a group of soldiers wearing armor of different colors ran forward with shields in hand and surrounded Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo looked at those people who didn't seem to be attacking her in confusion, and her hand holding the spear tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened again.
"General Ao, what are you standing there for? Quickly capture General Xiao."
Yuan Mu's cold voice interrupted her thoughts. She looked up but didn't see him.
General Ao looked at Xiao Mo with some embarrassment, his knuckles turning slightly white from his clenched fists.
Seeing him hesitate, Yuan Mu reminded him somewhat unhappily: "General Ao, have you forgotten the two people living in Minghu Palace?"
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, General Ao slowly raised his arm as if he had made up his mind.
Seeing that he was gathering strength as if he was going to do something big, Yuan Mu quickly called him back.
"General Xiao is the current Crown Princess and the future Queen Mother. General Ao, please be careful with your actions."
The reason why he said this was, firstly, because of Qi Yue's order, and secondly, because he saw that Xiao Mo was already a little overwhelmed.
Moreover, based on his understanding of Xiao Mo, his previous words would also have a buffering effect on her.
This can be seen from her reaction when General Ao gradually walked towards her.
"General Ao..." Xiao Mo raised her head and called him softly.
He half closed his eyes, gradually hiding the reluctance in his eyes, and only looked at her again when he replaced his resolute look.
"General Xiao, I can't abandon my wife and children. I'm sorry!"
Although he spoke very quietly, Xiao Mo still heard it clearly, especially the helplessness and guilt in his tone when he said this.
If he were like General Xiong Chang before, she could fight him to the death without any psychological pressure.
But he was not, he was forced, and his wife and children are innocent.
A hint of helplessness flashed across Xiao Mo's eyes, and she didn't know whether she should accept General Xiong's move.
Qi Yue, Qi Yue, you made a really good move!
Yuan Mu looked at General Xiong expressionlessly as he walked towards Xiao Mo with a knife in hand. He felt so complicated that he himself didn't even know what was going on.
Xiao Mo took two steps back, holding the spear horizontally in a defensive posture.
Murong Ze and others who were trapped by the enemy in the distance were frightened when they saw this scene.
"General Xiao!" Yang Zerui was the closest to her, but he was also the one who could not get away.
When the other two heard the shout, they also turned their heads to look over.
Here, Xiao Mo knelt on one knee on the ground, holding the spear high in both hands, and her shoulders were moved down inch by inch by the back of General Ao's sword.
Seeing that she was about to be unable to bear it after gritting her teeth, Shen Hanzhou shook off the enemy he was fighting with and ran towards her with all his might.
But legs can't match the speed of swords.
When he was only a few meters away from General Ao, a boomerang flew from somewhere in the distance and hit General Ao in the neck.
General Ao's pupils trembled, and then he fell to the ground.
Xiao Mo looked at him in confusion, holding the spear to her heart, a trace of blood slowly flowing from the corner of her mouth.
Behind her, a familiar voice came into her ears, instantly igniting her long-silent heart.
"Amo!"
Qi Minxiu was riding on a horse, wearing white soft armor, standing ten meters behind her.
Shen Yun followed behind Qi Minxiu. The moment she saw Xu Renchuan, she excitedly ran up to him and hugged him: "Achuan."
Shen Hanzhou thought she was running towards him, with both arms outstretched, but he caught nothing.
Xu Renchuan rubbed Shen Yun's head lovingly, and glanced at Shen Hanzhou who was standing there with his hands outstretched and his mouth twitching.
"Who do you think that is?"
She looked over at the sound, the surprise in her eyes deepened a little: "Brother!"
Shen Hanzhou turned his head away unhappily: "You still know you have a brother?"
"What are you talking about? Of course I know." She let go of Xu Renchuan, walked over to him, took his hand, and said coquettishly, "When did you come back?"
"Why did you come back just now? What happened to you in Jinkai City a few days ago?"
Shen Yun was a little curious about why he knew all this, but when she saw Xiao Mo slowly standing up not far away, she instantly understood.
"It was just a minor problem, it's been solved." She didn't want him to worry, so she said later.
After she finished speaking, she let go of his hand and ran towards Xiao Mo: "Miss..."
Before she finished speaking, she saw a white figure walking past her at an extremely fast speed.
Qi Minxiu supported the staggering Xiao Mo, but before he could see her face clearly, she suddenly threw herself into his arms.
She said nothing and asked nothing, just hugged him quietly.
If the situation wasn't limiting him, he would have loved to hold her like this forever.
But now is not the time to be gentle.
"Amo, cheer up, we are about to win." Qi Minxiu called her softly, but his eyes were on the enemies around him who were ready to make a move.
She gathered herself together, stood up straight, raised her head and looked at him seriously, and finally couldn't help shedding a tear.
She really wanted to call him, but she didn't dare. She was afraid that once she opened her mouth, the trembling voice would make her collapse.
The grievances and pain that had been pent up in her heart for so many days began to disintegrate the moment she heard his voice.
She tried hard to control the tears in her eyes, lowered her eyes, turned around, and gripped the spear tightly in her hand again.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Yuan Mu was about to retreat back to Qi Yue, but was blocked by Ling Su who rushed out.
On the high building, Qi Yue's expression, which had begun to improve, instantly darkened again when he saw Qi Minxiu and others appear.
Especially when Xiao Mo was about to be defeated but was rescued.
