C115 (1/2)

On the second day after signing the contract with Nalan Rongxuan, Tuoba Hong received a ”message” from the Battle King Manor. The ”message” said that her sister Tuoba Yu was very sick, so she hurriedly went to the King Xuan Palace and took away King Xuan's precious doctor, before returning back to North Qi in a hurry.

This was also the result of an investigation, no one suspected the news, Tuoba Hong's little sister was lacking in talent and his body was weak, Tuoba Hong doted on her greatly, and it was said that once, in order to find medicine for his sister, he went into the depths of the Heaven Mountain, and he survived most of the time.

It had only been two days since he left, but he had already experienced the third wave of assassination. Tuoba Hong withdrew his blade, the blood that was splattered out drew an arc in the air, and the last assassin fell.

There were more killers in a wave, and their cultivation base was also higher. It was not as easy to deal with them as it was before.

”Continue on our way, increase our speed!” Tuoba Hong said expressionlessly as he mounted his horse. The killing intent around him had not dispersed.

Yue Luoxue was also riding on her horse, she was the only person who did not make a move, in here, she only needed to play the role of a doctor with a limited cultivation, and would need the protection of others.

The fine stallion galloped, Yue Luoxue could feel that something was amiss with Tuoba Hong, but she did not say anything. To be able to control his emotions in such a way, it might really be related to his sister. She immediately tightened her grip on the reins, and the horse under him became even faster.

Tuoba Hong did not bring many people with him, and adding that Yue Luoxue only had five attendants, it was precisely because of this that he was so anxious right now. After three more attempts, they had finally entered the North Qi Realm.

The scenery in front of their eyes changed. What entered their eyes was a vast grassland, as well as cattle and sheep that were like clouds on the plains. The Battle King Manor's reinforcements were already here, and it seemed as if they were much safer.

Tuoba Hong conversed with the leader for a while, and the tense expression on his face finally relaxed a bit. After that, he rode his horse to Yue Luoxue's side, and apologetically said: ”Luoxue, thank you for your hard work.”

Sometimes, they would not stop to rest for a day and a night. He and a few of his followers had all grown up on horses, so they could be considered used to it, but had only made Yue Luoxue suffer.

Yue Luoxue smiled sweetly: ”Tuoba Hong, putting it this way, you are treating us as strangers. Putting aside the fact that you and Nalan Rongxuan are cooperating, we are still friends.

Tuoba Hong was startled. ”How did you know?”

”From the looks of you, even when I knew that the North Qi Emperor intended to do harm to the Duke Palaces, I didn't show that kind of expression.

Tuoba Hong's heart felt warm, ”That's right. Actually, before we met our third attempt, I already received a letter from the residence saying that Yu'er's condition had worsened due to the stimulation.”

Yue Luoxue could tell from Tuoba Hong's tone of voice how much he cared about this little sister of her, and she said to Tuoba Hong seriously, ”Tuoba Hong, I will definitely use every means at my disposal to cure her.”

”It's good as long as you do your best. When mufei was pregnant with Yu-er, she heard the grievous news of her father's death in battle from the frontline. She was born prematurely in July, so Yu-er's body has always been weaker than the others. She can only be nurtured after so many years.” A flash of ruthlessness flashed past Tuoba Hong's eyes.

In the past, his father hadn't died in battle. And the death of her grandfather, and even her great-grandfather … The loyalty of the War King's Manor, the royal family of North Qi, was all due to them letting down the War King's Manor first!

Yue Luoxue could probably guess what was going on. For the sake of the throne, which generation of people in the royal family did not have blood flowing?

Passing through the endless grassland, the silhouette of a city finally appeared in their line of sight. On the vast horizon, the black city was solemn and majestic, shocking everyone.

A thick and heavy city wall made of black stone, with mottled marks of vicissitudes, gave off a domineering aura under the vast sky. It was just like the people of North Qi, who were valiant and wild.

”This is the Flame City. It's different from the Flame Sun City. I'll show you around later.” Tuoba Hong smiled lightly at Yue Luoxue, a look of satisfaction in his eyes. Since she followed him back, it means that he has a chance right?

Tuoba Hong was someone who kept his promises, but the alliance between him and Nalan Rongxuan did not contain any provisions regarding Yue Luoxue. People of North Qi had always been like this, and they were even more adamant on pursuing the woman they liked.

The city was bustling with noise and excitement. People came and went, and the clothes that people wore were more national in nature. There were many men in leather clothing, and the women's clothes were decorated with animal fur.

Yue Luoxue curiously looked around, the goods on the streets were all of the color of North Qi, there were many bow and arrow, from this, one could see that they were a martial arts race.

Even within the North Qi, Tuoba Hong's unique height and handsome face was quickly noticed by the crowd.

”Look, it's Crown Prince Hong!”

”Heir Hong is truly a tall and sturdy handsome man. Every time I see him, my face turns red and my heart beats erratically.”

”Heir Hong, I like you!”

Suddenly, a bold confession broke the whispers of the crowd. Immediately, quite a few bold women expressed their love on the streets, and some bolder ones even threw things like wallets and handkerchiefs towards Tuoba Hong.

Initially, she only knew that North Qi people were straightforward and generous, she never thought that their feelings would be so bold and hot, and looking at Tuoba Hong who was looking straight ahead with a serious face, she immediately wanted to laugh.
