BXBX NOVEL Chapter 161: Scrap Him
Chapter 161
As soon as she got close to Huo Chengjin, she raised her dagger and suddenly stabbed towards him!
Huo Chengjin grabbed Qi Yan Su Luo\'s wrist to stop her from moving further.
He laughed. “I told you that you are not my match, but you did not believe me.”
Qi Yan Su Luo\'s face was icy cold. She immediately took over the dagger with her left hand and stabbed towards him again!
Huo Chengjin dodged several times.
Gradually, Qi Yan Su Luo seemed to be somewhat exhausted.
Huo Chengjin also relaxed his vigilance and played with Qi Yan Su Luo back and forth.
Unexpectedly, Qi Yan Su Luo found the right opportunity and suddenly exerted force!
Panic flashed across Huo Chengjin\'s eyes. Just as Qi Yan Su Luo was about to succeed, Huo Chengjin was kicked away by someone!
Qi Yan Su Luo\'s dagger missed.
She looked at the person who had saved Huo Chengjin in astonishment and asked, "Why did you save him?!"
The male lead was dead, the world collapsed, and Qin Zhao\'s efforts would be wasted. Of course she could not let the male lead die.
But she could not tell this reason to Qi Yan Su Luo.
Qin Zhao said, "I want to know what you and that person talked about.
Tell me, and I\'ll let you kill him."
Huo Chengjin was kicked and his side hurt badly, but when he thought that it was Zhaoyang who had saved him, his anger disappeared without a trace.
Hearing Qin Zhao’s words, he felt that she was just looking for an excuse to save him.
Qi Yan Su Luo had the same idea.
The content of the conversation with that person was not actually any undisclosed secret, but facing Qin Zhao at this moment, she did not want to say a single word.
She said, "Nothing to say. If you insist on protecting Huo Chengjin, you\'d better keep an eye on him.
Otherwise, I will kill him if I get the chance!"
Qin Zhao waved her hand. “Don’t get me wrong. Huo Chengjin\'s life is no different from an ant\'s life to me.
I am more interested in your secret.
As long as you don\'t tell me, I will protect him for one day.
If you don\'t tell me for a year, I will protect him for a year."
Qin Zhao knew that what she was doing would surely arouse even more intense resistance from Qi Yan Su Luo.
But there was no other way. She had to find an excuse to ensure the male lead did not die.
Qi Yan Su Luo sneered coldly. “Anyone can know my secret, just not you!”
After leaving behind vicious words, she turned and left.
Qin Zhao watched her back for a long time and asked, “How did you know she was in the woods?”
Huo Chengjin tried to speak up tentatively, “Are you asking me?”
Qin Zhao looked at him. “Besides you and me, who else is in the woods? If I don\'t ask you, should I ask a ghost?!”
Huo Chengjin was silent for a while and replied, “Staying in the military tent all day is too boring. I took the opportunity of the night to get some fresh air.”
"No, if you were just taking a normal stroll, Qi Yan Su Luo would not have been able to discover you.” Qin Zhao concluded, “You were stalking her!”
Huo Chengjin averted his gaze elsewhere and argued, “No, I didn\'t stalk her!”
"Ha, I didn\'t expect that after going through so much, you actually still dare to covet Qi Yan Su Luo."
Qin Zhao walked up to Huo Chengjin and said, "I told you, she is my woman!"
From Qin Zhao\'s tone, Huo Chengjin sensed something unusual.
He wanted to explain a few more sentences, but he heard the sound of a dagger being unsheathed, followed immediately by a chill between his legs.
It all happened in an instant. Huo Chengjin trembled as he reached down there, but all he could feel was wetness!
The nauseating smell of blood filled the air. Qin Zhao kicked the severed thing far away and said, "Now you have no reason to harass Qi Yan Su Luo anymore."
"Ah–!!!”
Realizing what had happened, Huo Chengjin let out a hysterical scream!
Qin Zhao disgustedly covered her ears and scolded, "Don\'t scream! Do you want everyone to know about this? If you are not afraid of embarrassment, just keep screaming!"
Huo Chengjin was startled into silence.
Qin Zhao said, "As long as you listen to me, I guarantee I won\'t tell anyone about this. You and I will also get married smoothly."
Huo Chengjin sobbed. “But my life is completely over!”
Qin Zhao squatted down and whispered softly, “How could that be? Apart from not having offspring, your life will not change much.”
She sighed pretending to care as she said, “Alas, I didn\'t want to do things so ruthlessly. Who asked you not to restrain yourself and always cause me trouble? Just be good, and nothing will happen, okay?"
Perhaps Qin Zhao’s voice was too nice and gentle. Huo Chengjin strangely calmed down and asked sobbingly, "Will you really marry me?"
He quickly corrected himself, “Are you really willing to marry me?”
Qin Zhao corrected him, “I am the next emperor. Of course I cannot possibly marry you. But I will reserve an honorable position for you in the imperial harem.”
Huo Chengjin lowered his head, seeming to accept the reality.
"Go back and clean up properly. Don\'t get infected."
Bewitched by Qin Zhao’s tone, Huo Chengjin really thought that Qin Zhao cared about him.
With tears shimmering in his eyes, he asked, “Are you disgusted with me?”
“I used to be, but I won’t be in the future.”
After appeasing Huo Chengjin properly, Qin Zhao returned to the big tent. Qi Yan Su Luo was already asleep. Qin Zhao took off her outer clothes and lay down beside her, asking, “Are you asleep?”
“Yes.”
"..."
"Are you still angry?"
"No."
"Then hug me to sleep."
Qi Yan Su Luo turned over and hugged Qin Zhao so tightly that she seemed to want to squeeze her to death!
Qin Zhao didn\'t say anything. She thought: Let her squeeze for a while and she\'ll get tired.
Unexpectedly, Qi Yan Su Luo persisted all night long, resulting in bruises on Qin Zhao\'s arms when she got up the next morning!
Qin Zhao rubbed her arms and snuggled up to Qi Yan Su Luo, saying, “You secretly met with the barbarians behind my back. I took advantage of Huo Chengjin to anger you. We are even.”
Indeed, Qi Yan Su Luo was quite angry. Seeing Qin Zhao\'s face, she had the urge to punch someone. But hearing the even more irritating words coming out of her mouth, she somehow didn’t feel as angry anymore. She silently carried on with the task at hand, ignoring her.
Cong Han called from outside the tent, “Your Highness, the Chi Rong People have come to invade again!”
Qin Zhao said to Qi Yan Su Luo, “I’ll go out briefly and come back soon.”
Then she exited the tent and climbed up the city tower.
Huo Jun was already there before her.
A few people stood beside her — those she had selected from the army to replace Yuan Deyi, Zhou Mingzhi, Lin Kui and others.
Among them was Lieutenant Zhenwei, whom she had seen in Mobei Town!
Qin Zhao walked over. Huo Jun nodded at her.
Lieutenant Zhenwei said, “Princess, we meet again.”
Having just been promoted, he was still feeling somewhat smug. Considering his combat power, he believed he was indispensable in dealing with the Chi Rong People.
Therefore, his attitude towards Qin Zhao was not exactly respectful.
Qin Zhao looked at his knife scar and asked, “What is your name?”
Lieutenant Zhenwei replied, “Wang Yong.”
“You were originally stationed in Mobei Town. How did you get here?”
Huo Jun explained, “In response, it was I who asked the nearby garrisons to come to Yunzhong City, to gather our military strength for contingencies.”
Qin Zhao said, “I see. General Huo has great foresight. I look forward to what’s next.”
“Thank you, Your Highness.”
After the brief greeting, they turned their attention to Tu Ge below.
Tu Ge roared, “What are you still dawdling around up there for? Come down! Could it be that you’re going to evade again, you cowards?"
