After all, the border town was the territory of the Qin Dynasty. Even if there was a traitor to help, Northern Qi could not send too many people. Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng calmed down after their initial surprise.
Qin Jiyan instinctively protected Gu Qiancheng behind him, glanced at the dark area in front of him, and felt reassured.
Preliminary estimates suggest that there is only a cavalry of about a thousand people in front of them, but the small number does not mean that they are weak. It is obvious that this army of a thousand people is an elite division. If they really want to take action, the official officers from the border towns are no match for them.
The most important thing is that the cavalry of the Northern Qi Dynasty is extremely fast. Even if they cannot defeat them, this army of a thousand people can still outrun them.
After getting a general understanding of his opponent, and seeing that he did not come out immediately, Qin Jiyan guessed what the visitor meant and said, "The visitor is a guest. Your Excellency has come to my Daqin territory in the middle of the night. Why don't you come out and see him?"
"Tap tap tap..." There was a sound of horse hoofbeats, and the cavalry in front of Qin Jiyan were seen driving their horses to both sides one by one, leaving a path for one horse to walk on.
In the middle of the army, a man wearing battle armor and holding a sword rode forward on his horse, five steps away from Qin Jiyan. The man turned over, took off his helmet, and dismounted.
The torch was close, and with the faint light, Qin Jiyan could see the other person's appearance, as well as his strange pair of eyes, with a hint of dark red.
"Third Prince Wu Yuzhi!" Without any hesitation, Qin Jiyan called out the other party's name.
Although it was their first meeting, Qin Jiyan got a rough idea of the other person's appearance from the secret guard's mouth.
"The eldest grandson of the Emperor of Qin, His Highness the King of Qin." Similarly, it was the first time for Wu Yuzhi to see Qin Jiyan, but it did not prevent him from getting to know Qin Jiyan.
Qin Jiyan had stayed in the border town for so many days, and it was impossible for Wu Yuzhi not to know about it.
"Now that you know who I am, what does the third prince mean by this?" Qin Jiyan's eyes were slightly cold. Even though the other party was outnumbered, he did not show any trace of fear. His expression was indifferent, as if he could not feel the threats around him.
"Don't be angry, Your Highness King Qin. I just want to invite His Highness King Qin to visit Northern Qi." Wu Yuzhi's eyes fell on Gu Qiancheng past Qin Jiyan, "This must be His Highness the confidante of King Qin. I found out that Yang
Liu Lang's identity, the strange woman who ruined his plan in Da Qin, the eldest daughter of the Gu family, Gu Qiancheng?"
Wu Yuzhi deliberately singled out Gu Qiancheng. If Gu Qiancheng dodges again, he will only be looked down upon.
"I am." Gu Qiancheng took a step sideways and walked out from behind Qin Jiyan, his calm face never showing a hint of fear.
"Okay, I am worthy of being the one who can make Liulang suffer. Miss Gu is indeed a strange woman." Wu Yuzhi looked at Gu Qiancheng like a hunter looking at his prey. This look made Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng frown at the same time.
.
"Third Prince, you are rude." Qin Ji said in an implicit warning.
Wu Yuzhi laughed, quickly looked away, and said calmly: "Please forgive me, Your Highness, King Qin, we in Northern Qi worship the strong and never care whether the other party is a man or a woman. A capable woman can also have a place in our Northern Qi.
I have nothing but admiration for Miss Gu." There are many women in the world, but Gu Qiancheng is not necessarily that beautiful, so he would not commit the crime of robbing a woman.
"Third Prince, there is no need to explain. I know very well how high the status of women in Northern Qi is. Aren't women in charge of the government in Northern Qi now?"
The Empress Dowager of the Northern Qi Dynasty listened behind the curtain and controlled the government together with the regent. This was something everyone knew. But when Qin Jiyan said it, there was an indescribable sarcasm, as if...
The Northern Qi man was so incompetent that he was stepped on by a woman.
For a moment, Wu Yuzhi had a violent impulse, but he quickly calmed down and said with a smile: "It seems that the King of Qin knows a lot about Northern Qi, so the King of Qin must be very happy to visit Northern Qi."
.”
"Going to be a guest in Northern Qi? I am indeed willing to do so, but not now." He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to benefit from Northern Qi, but he never thought about contacting Wu Yuzhi and the Empress Dowager.
Now, the emperor is in a weak position in Northern Qi. Only by supporting the emperor can Northern Qi continue to fight.
"This is not your choice, King Qin." Wu Yuzhi took a step sideways, revealing a thousand cavalry behind him.
With these thousand cavalry here, even if the Feng Family Army stationed there discovered it, they would not be able to catch up.
"You are not capable or qualified to make decisions for me." Qin Jiyan raised the corners of his lips, half-smiling, but under the candlelight, there was a hint of evil, and Wu Yuzhi felt a chill running down his spine.
, a bit uncomfortable.
Wu Yuzhi couldn't understand what was wrong with him?
There are a thousand cavalry behind him, and the King of Qin in front of him is alone, and he also has a helper. How can he be afraid?
This is a joke!
The smile on Wu Yuzhi's face instantly disappeared, and he said forcefully: "Today, I can."
"You?" Qin Jiyan took a step back and pointed the sword in his hand at Wu Yuzhi, "You are never qualified to make decisions for me. You are not able to force me to do something that I am not happy with."
"King Qin, don't give me a toast or eat as a fine. The people under my command are insignificant. If King Qin is missing arms and legs, I will not be responsible." No one can be happy when a sword is pointed at him.
"I don't like drinking. Third prince, I have written down what happened today. I will ask the emperor of your country another day. When did you, the prince of Northern Qi, become so arrogant?" Qin Jiyan deliberately mentioned the Northern Qi Empire.
I wanted to test Wu Yuzhi's attitude towards the Northern Qi Emperor.
"Even that loser wants to punish me. Your Highness, King Qin, you have found the wrong person." Wu Yuzhi was very disdainful, and he himself was not a patient person. Seeing Qin Jiyan being surrounded by a large army, he was still so arrogant, and immediately
He raised his hand and ordered: "If the King of Qin refuses to drink wine as a penalty, then I will not be polite and I will do anything..."
Before he could finish the next words, he saw the sword in Qin Jiyan's hand suddenly thrust forward. Wu Yuzhi was on guard and instinctively retreated, but the next words were interrupted.
However, the cavalry already knew what to do, and even if Wu Yuzhi's order had not been issued, they continued to act as usual...
"Shua..." The spear was raised and the horse stepped forward, hoping to capture Qin Jiyan.
But at this moment, Gu Qiancheng, who had been standing beside him and had no sense of presence except for saying a word, suddenly threw a small bag in his hand towards the torch in the hands of the Northern Qi cavalry...
"Bah squeak..." A burst of sparks flashed, and the small bag flew towards the crowd.
"What?" The Northern Qi cavalrymen were startled. Their instincts honed on the battlefield made them understand that this small bag was definitely dangerous, and they wanted to kick it away or avoid it. But at that moment, they saw Qin Jiyan
Holding Gu Qiancheng in his arms, the long sword made a deep mark on the ground. The two of them quickly retreated and reached the city gate in the blink of an eye.
"What a handsome Qinggong, hurry up..." Before the word "chasing" could be said, a loud bang was heard, and the explosive package exploded among the Northern Qi cavalry, and the dazzling firelight turned the night red...
