Duan Zijue's father was the Warlord, second only to Emperor Xiao. He had millions of soldiers in Daliao, which was exactly what Xiao Han needed the most.
Duan Zijue was quite confident in pursuing Xiao Han.
Therefore, he didn't need to take Qin Hao seriously. Even if Qin Hao really came, what could he do?
He was just an ant that could be killed in one move.
Moreover, Qin Hao definitely wouldn't come.
On the other hand, Prince Qi Yuan and Murong Zijun were Duan Juezi's strongest opponents.
Thinking of this, he turned around and looked at Yue Daqun. He smiled faintly and said, "I heard that the outer court has a two-month long vacation, right?"
"Your Highness, it is indeed a vacation!"
Yue Daqun bowed and replied.
"Then, how about you do something for me?"
Duan Zijue looked at Yue Daqun with deep meaning, as if there was a hidden meaning in his words.
Yue Daqun's heart trembled. As the son of an official, how could he not understand what the other party was thinking?
He must be asking him to go to Jiang Kingdom to get rid of Qin Hao.
Just now, Duan Juezi deliberately used Qin Hao to provoke Murong Zijun and Qi Yuan.
If the three of them attacked at the same time, Qin Hao wouldn't be able to survive even if he had ten thousand lives.
"Understood. I am willing to serve you, Your Highness!"
Yue Daqun sympathized with Qin Hao, but he had to nod and agree.
He didn't dare to be enemies with Duan Zijue.
"I will definitely satisfy Your Highness. Clean and neat, without leaving any traces!"
Yue Daqun promised again and secretly made a throat-slitting gesture.
"No, no, no. I think you misunderstood. Qin Hao is already so pitiful. How can I let you kill him?
My conscience will be disturbed if I do that. "
Duan Zijue also smiled, revealing a sinister smile.
"This?"
Yue Daqun was stunned and a little confused.
If he didn't kill Qin Hao, could it be that he was going to save him?
But this didn't seem like Duan Zijue's style.
"Set off immediately today. Take my order and go to the Warlord Manor to get my mount, the Raging Flame Roc. Then, head straight to the Jiang Country. He is quite famous in the Jiang Country. It won't be hard to find him!"
"Then, tell him that Prince Qi and Crown Prince Zi Jun are sending people to kill him. Tell him to be careful. After that, you can return!"
What Duan Zijue said next shocked Yue Daqun even more.
But after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized, "Could it be that the Crown Prince wants to borrow the hands of Prince Qi and Crown Prince Zi Jun …"
Yue Daqun paused for a moment. His next words were obvious.
"You are very smart!"
Duan Zijue took out a command medallion and tossed it to Yue Daqun. He said with admiration, "That's right. I purposely let the two of them find trouble with Qin Hao. Then, I'll find a suitable opportunity to secretly leak it to Princess Jingyue and let her know how despicable Prince Qi and Murong Zijun are.
。
However, I will tell Princess Jingyue one month after your departure. "
Duan Zijue chuckled.
At that time, even if Xiao Han wanted to save him, it would be too late. Qin Hao would have already become a ghost under Qi Yuan and Murong Zijun's blade.
The more Yue Daqun heard, the more shocked he was. Duan Zijue's plan of killing three birds with one stone was simply too ruthless. It was too vicious.
Firstly, he would win the favor of Princess Xiao Han. Secondly, he would make Princess Xiao Han hate Prince Qi and Crown Prince Zi Jun.
Most importantly, he would borrow the hands of others to get rid of Qin Hao, this great threat.
Vicious!
Truly vicious!
Duan Zijue was truly a hungry wolf that couldn't be tamed.
"This subordinate will set off immediately!"
Although Yue Daqun felt disdain, he didn't dare to disobey. He took the command medallion and prepared to head to the Warlord Manor.
"Wait. If you dare to leak the slightest bit of this matter?
Do you know the consequences? "
After Duan Zijue finished speaking, he suddenly stomped on the ground. With a loud bang, the ground cracked.
His intention was very clear. If Yue Daqun was leaked, then the Yue Clan would be like the ground. Duan Zijue only needed to lightly stomp on the ground to crush him.
"This subordinate understands!"
Yue Daqun's forehead was covered in cold sweat as he rushed out without stopping.
"Hehe, you want to fight with me?
You two little princes are still too inexperienced! "
A sinister light flashed in Duan Zijue's eyes, and he also disappeared into thin air.
This time, he would definitely make it difficult for Qin Hao to escape from this calamity!
…
Two days later!
Qin Hao and Tsiogua steered the treasured ship. They were already not far from the Jiang Empire's border. After teasing each other, the two of them had recovered to their peak state.
At this moment, they stood on the ship and looked down. The towering mountains in front of them were so familiar.
"Big Brother, we are almost there!"
Tsiogua's voice was a little nervous as he stared down without blinking. He was afraid that if they were late, the ground would be covered with corpses.
He was even more afraid that those corpses were the people he was most familiar with.
"Don't worry, Miss Xiangchen's information is absolutely reliable. According to the time calculation, with the Yuwen family's marching speed, they will at most reach the Jiang Empire's hinterland. We won't be late!"
Qin Hao said calmly, but in his heart, he was also a little anxious. He wished he could grow ten wings and fly to his fourth uncle immediately.
For some reason, at this moment, the corners of Qin Hao's eyes suddenly twitched. He felt an inexplicable sense of danger.
However, this sense of danger was not caused by the Yuwen family. It came very strangely.
"Big Brother, what's wrong?"
Tsiogua saw that Qin Hao's face was sweating. The battle was about to break out, and they still had to rely on their big brother to fight against the enemy's general. Nothing must happen now.
"Don't worry, maybe I didn't rest well!"
Qin Hao casually found an excuse and patted Tsiogua's shoulder to calm him down.
However, Qin Hao frowned again. His intuition had always been accurate. This sense of danger was definitely not unfounded. Then, who was preparing to make a move against them?
Shaking his head, Qin Hao shook his head. Saving people was the most important thing now.
At this moment, they had completely stepped into the territory of the Jiang Kingdom. Looking down, there was billowing smoke everywhere. Corpses were strewn all over the ground, and blood flowed like rivers. A living hell of a ruined country appeared in front of the two of them. Even if they were flying high in the sky, they could still smell it from ten thousand meters away.
The smell of blood below.
…
Fifty miles north of Heaven's Wall City, the Crimson Peak Canyon!
The Crimson Peak Mountain was eight thousand meters tall. There was a crack in the middle of the mountain. If one looked carefully, this crack seemed to have been cut open by a knife.
This crack also ran through the entire mountain, dividing the Crimson Peak Mountain into two, forming a thin line.
This thin line was the canyon of the Crimson Peak Mountain.
This place originally belonged to the Jiang Empire.
As Qin Hao had exchanged twenty big cities for six small cities in the south of the Jiang Empire during the Martial Arts Competition, the Crimson Peak Canyon became the boundary between the Jiang Empire and the Daqin Prefecture.
At this moment, in the canyon, there was a city wall that was three hundred feet tall. This city wall was originally not there, but now it had risen from the ground. It was very spectacular.
Moreover, it was not an ordinary city wall. It was obviously much taller than the other city walls.
Then, the wall had been filled with molten iron, which made the already solid city wall even more solid. It was like a complete iron lump, impregnable.
On the city wall, there was a black mass of soldiers. It was like a vast sea, crowded and unbearable.
Behind the city wall, there were all kinds of war weapons piled up.
Slings, crossbows, and throwing spears that were shining with cold light. All of them were exceptionally fierce, giving people a suffocating sense of oppression.
"Reporting … reporting to Governor and State Preceptor Chen, the Sky Dragon Army and the allied forces of the four countries have begun to enter the canyon!"
