They were in charge of being beautiful, and she was in charge of taking the hits.

Chapter 157 I Like Ugly Capital

"The person who wants your life!"

Before he could parry with his scimitar, the sword in his hand was drawn swiftly, aimed directly at her heart.

With a soft "plop," it pierced through, and Wu Ziyan watched in shock as this scene unfolded swiftly.

It seemed like the battle was over before she even blinked.

At that moment, they didn't even think about capturing him alive.

He pulled the sword from his body, shook off the blood, and sheathed the sword. Wu Ziyan had already taken the reins of the horse.

They could only share one horse, which created a somewhat ambiguous situation.

Wu Ziyan mounted his horse and pulled Chu Qiu onto its back as well. This time, the atmosphere of riding the horse was completely different from the last time.

There was no time to think about anything else; all I wanted to do was keep moving forward.

"Chu Qiu, I didn't expect you to be so capable. Of course, otherwise how could you kill enemies on the battlefield? It's really a waste of your time to be by my side."

"What is there to feel wronged or not when it comes to serving the country and the family?"

"Are you implying that I'm part of your family?"

Although he didn't want to admit it, he had indeed come to regard Wu Ziyan as someone he wanted to protect.

He's clearly a useless person, yet he still fights against the world. I don't dislike him; he's somewhat similar to me.

Wu Ziyan gripped the saddle, while Chu Qiu pulled the reins; the two rode on the same horse.

They were moving quite fast and soon caught up with the group ahead; they still had to find a way to avoid them.

“Let’s take the fork in the road on the map ahead. It’s a bit longer, but the two of us should be able to walk faster than them. Let’s take that road.”

"it is good."

Just as the road forked at the crossroads, they missed the group of people.

As evening approached, they saw a group of people pulling crates of goods and dressed in foreign clothing ahead.

It looks like they've joined up with them.

Upon hearing that Ma Chao and his group were coming, these people immediately became vigilant.

Qi Zeyun looked at the two people getting closer and closer to her from her horse, still a little puzzled as to why they were only riding one horse.

"That's the Xiao Rong Kingdom ahead, Your Highness Qi Zeyun!" they called out first, not daring to approach rashly.

What if they unleash a barrage of arrows? Wouldn't they be riddled with holes?

"Yes!"

"We are His Highness Wu Chengji, sent to welcome His Highness Zeyun."

She kept quiet about her identity, but Qi Zeyun told them to stop in front of her.

For a welcome, this is far too shabby!

Do you have any written correspondence?

With unusually high vigilance, Wu Ziyan took out the documents from his body and dismounted.

They sent someone over to look at the document, and then shouted back that it was true; they really were sent by Wu Chengji's side.

Only then was he relieved and let the two of them come over. Qi Zeyun rode his horse closer and looked down at them from above.

Her eyes also lingered on Chu Qiu, taking in the aura of someone who had fought on the battlefield; she understood.

He should have been a handsome young man, but the scar on his face was indeed ugly.

She looked at the short woman and saw that she had no redeeming qualities.

They didn't understand why Wu Chengji would send these two people.

“Your Highness Zeyun, your brother will probably be facing us soon. He has sent several teams to intercept and kill us. It’s true, there is no family affection in the royal family.”

"I know, that's why I sent you two good-for-nothings. What use are you?"

Wu Ziyan was caught off guard by the merciless sharp tongue; she had thought that at least she would be polite.

"Your Highness Zeyun, please don't be angry. The general beside me is capable of taking on a hundred men single-handedly."

"Moreover, our secret guards will be arriving here soon, but we are, after all, two countries, and we cannot openly start a conflict."

"On the surface, there are only the two of us, your messengers, to greet you."

“I heard that your fourth prince is also a good-for-nothing,” Zirsa said as he followed behind the escorting caravan.

She couldn't see who the two people in front of her were at all, and since Wu Ziyan was wearing a veil, she couldn't see them clearly even more.

Chu Qiu heard Qi Zeyun call Wu Ziyan a piece of trash, and the sword in his hand twitched.

Wu Ziyan shook his head with a smile: "Your Highness Zeyun, you are right. You'll know when you see her."

"Let's continue along the main road; we're bound to encounter those assassins along the way."

"Please keep your important gifts and belongings with you, Your Highness, because once a fight breaks out, no one will be able to look after anyone else."

"waste!"

I have no liking for Chu Qiu; she immediately started talking about several useless people.

If someone had insulted Wu Ziyan like that in the past, he would have already taken action.

"Give them another horse, so the two of them can ride together. What would that look like?"

"No, I'm too weak. I'd rather ride with him."

Qi Zeyun had a completely hopeless expression on his face at this moment.

The sound of horses' hooves came from afar, but he had no time to pay attention to the two men.

Sure enough, a group of people rushed out from a distance, dressed in black, wearing veils, and carrying curved swords.

There was no leader in sight. They whispered among themselves, but were asking the person in front of them who they were.

After confirming their identities, they exchanged glances and rode forward, while the others were already prepared to fight.

Thus, an unavoidable melee ensued, with Wu Ziyan held tightly in Chu Qiu's arms.

She controlled the horse, and Chu Qiu killed enemies with one hand.

He never expected that the other party would rush up and kill him so directly.

They thought there was at least room for negotiation, but before they could even utter a word, several people had already died.

Just then, they heard another group of people arriving; these were the secret guards brought by Wu Ziyan and his men.

Before they could even get there, they were already engaged in a fierce battle with another team in the distance, and for a moment they couldn't tell who was on their side and who was the enemy.

In the midst of the panic, he could only prioritize saving his own life, but Qi Zeyun remained calm in the face of danger.

She rode ahead on horseback, cutting down the henchmen and keeping his caravan in order.

Is this the leader? He's got some guts!

Wu Ziyan blew the whistle in her arms, and the guards knew she was there.

Protect their safety while killing the enemy.

Finally, Qi Zexuan also led a group of people to arrive from another route.

Several groups of people were facing off on this large flat area.

The siblings were filled with hatred upon seeing each other. Qi Zexuan looked at the fallen corpses on the ground without a trace of pity in his eyes.

Instead, they were seen as weak and useless.

"My dear sister, it's been a long time! Are you here to be a dog for the Wu Dynasty? It's a pity that your original allies are helping you, not you!"

He then looked the others up and down, with Wu Ziyan and Chu Qiu catching his eye.

After all, it's a bit strange for two people to ride one horse, especially in a life-or-death situation.

"Good sister, what's that? Did you bring it for acrobatic performance?"

Wu Ziyan awkwardly picked at his hands, but a gust of wind lifted the veil on his face, allowing him to see clearly.

He was furious. This was the woman who wasn't interested in him!

And the man behind him was a scarred man!

She must be crazy to like this ugly man.

To dislike such a stunningly handsome man is an insult to him!
