Chapter 141: A Timely Rescue

~7 min read 1,399 words

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Thump!

Thump!

Two figures fell in response to the sound, losing their breath on the spot.

Tuoba Miaohan let out a sigh of relief in an instant.

If not for these two arrows, she surely would not have escaped this calamity today.

"Your Highness!"

Tuoba Miaohan looked toward the source of the voice.

She saw Helante and several other unfamiliar figures rushing toward her at great speed.

"Your subordinate arrived late, causing the Princess to be startled!"

"Middle General, what are you saying!"

Tuoba Miaohan turned her head to look at Chu Feng, who was holding the Fire Dragon Bow and riding a white horse to the side.

"Middle General, who is this?"

"Oh, this is the Champion Marquis of Great Wei, General Chu Feng; he is the reinforcements the Emperor specifically asked me to invite!"

"What, you are that Champion Marquis who led troops to flatten the Xiongnu Wang Ting!"

Tuoba Miaohan's beautiful eyes widened.

She had long known of the legends regarding Chu Feng and had even hoped to see his true face one day.

She had not expected that it would finally come true today.

"Greetings, Princess!" Chu Feng cupped his hands in a salute.

"Champion Marquis, there is no need for such formalities. My name is Tuoba Miaohan; you may call me Miaohan directly!"

Tuoba Miaohan's large, watery eyes stared fixedly at Chu Feng.

This legendary hero she had dreamed of day and night was even more handsome than the rumors suggested.

Besides that.

He was also skilled at composing poetry and prose.

He was a rare talent, proficient in both literature and martial arts.

"This woman!"

Lu Shuwan was extremely displeased at this moment.

As a woman, she understood women too well; it was obvious that the other party had taken a fancy to Chu Feng.

Especially those eyes, which were already almost unable to look away.

"Giddyap!"

Lu Shuwan urged her horse forward to ride alongside Chu Feng, asserting her claim to him.

"Marquis, who is this?"

"This is my subordinate, Lu Shuwan."

"A subordinate, a woman?"

Tuoba Miaohan exclaimed in surprise.

However, she quickly set her mind at ease.

It turned out the other party was merely Chu Feng's subordinate and posed no threat to her.

"Good, good, this Princess still has a chance!"

Tuoba Miaohan secretly rejoiced.

The result of the next sentence caused Tuoba Miaohan to turn to stone on the spot.

"At the same time, she is also my fiancée!"

"What?"

Boom!

Tuoba Miaohan felt as if she had been struck by a bolt of lightning.

Her entire being was scorched and tender from the shock.

"This... this person is actually the Champion Marquis's fiancée?"

Tuoba Miaohan found it difficult to accept this reality for a moment.

She had originally wanted to find an opportunity to express her love to her idol, but it turned out someone had beaten her to it.

Lu Shuwan, standing to the side, heard Chu Feng refer to her in such a way.

A blush could not help but appear on her face.

However, she felt extremely proud and happy inside.

She had originally just thought about staying by Chu Feng's side like this, without asking for any official status.

She had not expected Chu Feng to acknowledge her as his fiancée directly.

"Anyway, this is ancient times; having three wives and four concubines is perfectly normal, and no one would dare to object anyway!"

Chu Feng shrugged to himself.

Crack!

Tuoba Miaohan suddenly felt her heart shatter into pieces.

This situation was as if a beloved toy of hers had been snatched away by someone.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Helante hurriedly asked: "Your Highness, how are the Emperor and the Prime Minister?"

"Huh?"

Tuoba Miaohan woke up as if from a dream.

Only then did she remember Qifu Tao, who was dying not far away, and her father, who was being besieged by three powerhouses.

"The Prime Minister is just ahead, he is severely wounded, and Father Emperor is currently being besieged by Great Chu, Great Zhao, and the Sovereign Prince!"

Slap!

Chu Feng could not help but slap his hand against his own forehead.

This silly girl!

It was already a dire emergency, yet she was still here acting infatuated.

It was just a pity that Tuoba Hu did not know the situation here.

If he knew his daughter was here competing for favor with another woman, he would likely die of filial piety on the spot.

"Xiang Yuan!"

"This general is here!"

"You take over command; I am going to support the Xianbei Emperor!"

"Understood!"

Before leaving.

Chu Feng also left a Healing Medicine for Helante.

The reason he did not give it to Tuoba Miaohan was because this silly girl was unreliable.

"Champion Marquis!"

Watching Chu Feng gallop away, Tuoba Miaohan felt very sorrowful in her heart.

She had intended to leave a good impression on her idol, but ended up causing such a huge blunder.

This was truly embarrassing.

"Princess, please mount your horse!"

Helante hurriedly got a horse for Tuoba Miaohan, while he himself rushed to save his teacher.

It was all his princess's fault for acting infatuated here.

If Tuoba Hu and Qifu Tao died because of her.

Then things would be truly disastrous.

"Your Highness, we are currently in the midst of war, I hope the Princess will prioritize the big picture!"

"Hmph, no need for you to lecture me!"

Tuoba Miaohan snorted coldly.

She rode her horse and galloped toward the front.

"Hehe, giddyap!"

Lu Shuwan smiled slightly and also chased after them.

"Tuoba Hu, prepare to die!"

At this moment, above the Wang Ting.

Tuoba Hu was fighting three opponents alone, the formation was quite grand.

All four were Martial Saint-level powerhouses, so the area of their battle naturally had to be far from the battlefield.

Otherwise, the mere shockwaves of their battle could cause countless ordinary soldiers to lose their lives.

"Ah!"

Tuoba Hu let out a miserable cry.

A deep gash was shockingly carved into his chest.

If not for the armor protecting his body, this move would surely have taken his life.

"Damn it, fighting three alone is still too much of a stretch!"

Tuoba Hu said helplessly.

The army serving under him was currently being suppressed to death by the three-party coalition.

It was only a matter of time before they were wiped out.

"I wonder if Helante's group can bring back reinforcements!"

Tuoba Hu thought to himself.

He no longer placed his hope on support from the Wei Army.

After all, he had not formed an alliance with them, so why would they come to support him?

Moreover, it was said that Great Chu had already led an army of 600,000 to occupy the Yushan Fortress of Great Wei.

They could barely protect themselves, so how could they possibly send troops to support him?

"Tuoba Hu, I will give you one last chance, will you surrender or not?"

Tuoba Ying was ultimately unwilling to bear the infamy of killing his brother to usurp the throne.

As long as Tuoba Hu surrendered and abdicated the throne.

Then he would rule the entire Xianbei nation in one fell swoop.

"Hehe, surrender?"

Tuoba Hu sneered, "Sorry, the word 'surrender' has never existed in my dictionary; Xianbei only has emperors who die in battle, not emperors who grovel!"

"Since that is the case, then don't blame your brother for being heartless!"

Tuoba Ying attacked again, holding his blade from the front.

Feng Guangyu and Liu Yude flanked Tuoba Hu from both sides.

As long as Tuoba Hu is killed, then the Xianbei region will be shared by their two great nations in the future.

"Ah!"

Tuoba Hu coughed up blood into the sky once again.

His entire aura also dropped to the freezing point at this moment.

He gasped for air violently, and his vision had already begun to blur.

At this time, he no longer had any strength left to fight.

"Ancestors, your unfilial descendant Tuoba Hu failed to protect the Xianbei well; I can only go to hell to apologize to all you ancestors!"

"Imperial brother, let me send you on your final journey!"

Tuoba Ying arrived before Tuoba Hu.

He raised the long blade in his hand high, intending to end Tuoba Hu's life.

"Stop!"

At the most critical moment.

Chu Feng finally arrived nearby.
