1Hua Ruge realized that the medicinal power of the Sky and Earth Spirit Object in her body was being digested even faster. She felt that if she continued fighting like this, not only would she not consume energy, she would also become better and better.

But Hua Shengxiong did not want to waste any more time.

He had already heard the sounds of the battle below cease. If he did not leave the Golden Dragon and the barbarian, he would ascend the wall.

At that time, if he wanted to escape, it would be troublesome.

The spear in his hand trembled, and fiercely slashed down at Hua Ruge. This time, he used all his strength, and Hua Ruge did not dare to receive it head-on, thus she took a step back.

Hua Shengxiong was waiting for this moment, he did not take advantage of this victory to attack. Instead, he tapped the ground with the tip of his foot, and quickly retreated.

Hua Ruge squinted his eyes as he knew that he could not catch up to Little Marten, so he said: "Little Marten, help me take him down."

With a flash of purple light, the Little Marten quickly chased after Hua Shengxiong.

Hua Shengxiong's face revealed a look of fear, he flipped his hand and retrieved a huge bow, then shot an arrow at the Little Marten.

The moment Hua Ruge saw the bow and arrow, an ominous premonition arose in his heart, and when the arrow let out a loud whistling sound, it instantly arrived in front of the Little Marten, even more terrified.

The Little Marten's purple eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. Using all its strength, it punched the tip of the arrow.

The black arrow actually advanced slightly after meeting the purple light. It was only after piercing through the Little Marten's palm did it lose its strength and fell to the ground.

At that moment, Hua Shengxiong had already jumped down the city wall and escaped towards the army camp a few miles away.

Vicious light flashed in the Little Marten's eyes as it was about to give chase. Hua Ruge pulled him back and said: "Little Marten, stop chasing."

"I killed him!" The Little Marten said straightforwardly.

"Danger." Hua Ruge said.

In front of them was Hua Shengxiong's camp. It was not under her control, so she still had to be cautious.

"I'm not afraid of him." The Little Marten spoke with slight anger.

Hua Ruge pulled his hand to look at the bleeding wound. The other hand used two fingers to rub lightly on the wound, a green light flashed and the wound had already healed.

Only then did she say, "It's alright if he lives for a few more days. Your safety is more important."

She had just noticed the gigantic bow in Hua Shengxiong's hands, but he hadn't even pulled the string full force of the bowstring, yet it was already so powerful. It was truly frightening, and who could guarantee that he didn't have other trump cards.

Little Marten was originally still brooding over the fact that she was injured by a human, but after hearing what Hua Ruge said, she smiled and said, "Big sister treats me the best."

"Silly child." Hua Ruge reached out to rub his head.

At this point, in less than a day's time, Qing Zhou City had returned into Hua Ruge's control. The only change was that it had left behind the lives of over a hundred thousand people.

She sent people to investigate. When she first arrived, Hua Shengxiong had already started moving the supplies, but he had arrived in time to get them killed before they could even leave the city.

This time, the food was preserved, and the army wouldn't have to worry about food and drink for months.

It was just that Hua Shengxiong would not let it go, they were being attacked from the back, and did not know if they could hold on.

In order for Hua Shengxiong to kill his way back, Hua Ruge left the Little Marten and the barbarians behind to guard the city, so he returned to Qing Zhou City alone.

At this time, the Cang Lan attacks became even more violent, although Tuoba Rui had deployed well, the proportion of casualties had also increased.

Hua Ruge entered the main tent, and nodded at Tuoba Rui: "I've taken it back."

"It's been hard on you, Little Song." Tuoba Rui rubbed his glabella and said, there was still a map and pen on the table.

Hua Ruge poured a cup of tea on the table and passed it to him: "Don't be too tired too."

"I'm fine." Tuoba Rui passed the tea to her and said: "Drink it."

Hua Ruge took a sip and said, "We might be in for a lot of trouble dealing with Hua Shengxiong."

"What do you mean?" Tuoba Rui continued to rub between his brows.

"I've investigated and analyzed it before. He didn't turn back all of a sudden. He had planned this a long time ago. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to take over twelve cities of the western border in a single night."

"If he wants to attack us from the west, there are two other cities besides the Qing Zhou City. That means if we want to defend against him, we have to send out troops to defend three other cities."

As Hua Ruge said this, he also felt that it was difficult for him.

Right now, Cang Lan side was attacking day and night. The forces on the Great Zheng side were not strong enough to deal with them, if they were sent out to guard the back, it would simply be a joke.

It had to be known that Hua Shengxiong himself had two hundred thousand people, and the five great lords of Loi had brought in three hundred thousand, so even though he had lost a hundred thousand, he still had four hundred thousand, so how should he deal with it?

It had to be known that although the battle strength of his Loi was not as good as that of a barbarian's, it was not too far off.

Tuoba Rui only listened, and did not say anything else.

"Shouldn't he be attacking the capital if he's trying to rebel? Why is he coming towards us?" Hua Ruge said in vexation.

"If they can get rid of me, they'll be at the mercy of the people in the capital. They know this very well." Tuoba Rui said.

Hua Ruge sighed: "We can only ask the government for help now."

"I'm afraid no one will care about us." Tuoba Rui said and then said, "I just received news that after royal brother heard of Hua Shengxiong's rebellion, he ordered all of General Mao's troops to return to the capital's defense lines. He only left behind a small group of people from the various prefectures, unable to even protect himself."

Hua Ruge stared blankly for a moment, then said: "Does he know that Hua Shengxiong's rebellion is an attack on YongLin City?"

"Of course." Tuoba Rui replied indifferently.

Hua Ruge immediately slammed the table: "So that means that he clearly knows that Hua Shengxiong's target is us, not only did he not send any troops to attack or reinforce us, he just sent all of his troops back to defend himself?"

"He always thought that my Battle King was too much of an eyesore. If he had the chance, he would naturally not let it go." Tuoba Rui said with a terrifyingly calm expression.

"He doesn't even want his own land?" Hua Ruge felt that this was unbelievable.

"Perhaps he thinks I'm more dangerous."

Hua Ruge gritted his teeth, "He's really shameless, don't let me see him again!"

This war had originally been a crisis for the entire Zheng, but now it had become a crisis for both of them.

"There's also another piece of news saying that Cang Lan has sent out another Marshal of the Second Path to reorganize five hundred thousand soldiers in the country. Soon, soldiers should be arriving at the city's gates." Tuoba Rui continued.

The expression on his face had long since disappeared, as if there was too much to analyze in his mind.

Hua Ruge's pupils shrank, "What? More troops? "

She felt like she was about to faint. How could she play with him?

She said angrily, "This is the f * cking emperor's territory. He doesn't even care what right we have to take care of it for him."

Tuoba Rui pulled her into his embrace.

She felt that his body was somewhat cold and her heart ached.2

"I promised my royal father that I would protect this mountain and river for my royal brother. I will do the same this time, but I won't do it completely." He put his arm around her and whispered.
