"Qingy ! Qingyi !" Shouted Su Qionglin until his voice was hoarse and Zhuang Qingyi directly came out of the kitchen to hold onto Su Qionglin.

"What's wrong Miss ? " Tanya Zhuang Qingyi did not know what.

"Bring me to your sister, I need her help. " Su Qionglin replied with worry.

"Okay, fine, let's go. " She said Zhuang Qingyi and pulled Su Qionglin's hand to run out.

Su Lian who wanted to chase was held back by Madam Su.

"Mother ! I want to chase after Brother Qionglin !" Su Lian shouted in rebellion.

"Don't fight ! Don't follow him !" Madam Su exclaimed furiously and asked some other servants to hold Su Lian back.

"Take me off ! Release ! Brother Qionglin !" Shouted Su Lian until her voice was hoarse but Su Qionglin had gone too far and could not hear her voice.

On the other hand, Zhuang Qingyi herself was actually confused by this matter. What made Su Qionglin become so panicked like this.

"Is there something wrong that I missed ?" Zhuang Qingyi asked loudly.

"My father, from the Northern Border asked for help. I want to go over there and see it." Su Qionglin replied.

"What ? General Su asked for help ? This has never happened before, then we should go faster. " Said Zhuang Qingyi.

Arriving at the chess venue, they met Zhuang Zhiqi who was just about to prepare to leave.

"Miss Su, I know that you will look for me. Let's go, I'll accompany you to see General Su. " Say Zhuang Zhiqi with understanding.

"Yes, I have to trouble Young Master Zhuang for this, I am really panicking. " Su Qionglin said with worry.

"Sister, I'm coming. " Said Zhuang Qingyi.

"Hm, I've prepared two horses. Miss Su, you are sitting with my sister so if for example there are enemies then I can block them while you can go with my sister to approach General Su. " Zhuang Zhiqi said it first.

It was right to use the concept of chess thinking, where he could guess dozens of steps ahead that he would face and what he would do to deal with it.

Su Qionglin was helped up on the horse along with Zhuang Qingyi. Su Qionglin sat behind Zhuang Qingyi and did not forget to bring his butterfly staff.

"Miss, hold on tight. I like not knowing if I'm carrying a horse. " Zhuang Qingyi said with a small laugh and started to dart quickly.

Zhuang Zhiqi also did not lose, the two of them obtaining military training since young naturally did not differentiate between men and women.

Both of them trained hard, only that was not a problem. What made matters worse was when Zhuang Qingyi was told to behave gracefully.

Su Qionglin held onto Zhuang Qingyi's shoulder tightly, for the first time he was riding a horse.

Only, he really felt that he was drunk on this trip. Don't know how long he'll have to endure in this condition.

But, the only thing on his mind right now was to meet his father. Su Qionglin was afraid that what was going to happen was the same as what was in his dream and he did not want any of it to happen.

Not knowing if he would come and arrive late or would be late and in the end he was still left behind.

No ! He has to think positively, his father is a very strong man. How could it possibly be subverted by others so easily ?

How could a small Kingdom possibly defeat its Father like that ? Su Qionglin tried to convince himself.

His father had never lost all this time, always coming back with his head raised. I didn't know that this time I would ask for help.

Su Bei was not considered a sworn Brother with the Emperor for no reason, but rather because of his prowess on the battlefield.

And the one who was likely to inherit Su Bei's army if he retired was General Ling, Ling Yi. At that time, then the Empire would hold the full force of the entire army.

But, Ling Yi himself was not too easy to set up so the Emperor was still weighing whether to give it to Ling Yi or Su Yun.

It's just, it turns out that this happened and all these plans went awry. Even Emperor Ling could no longer relax together with his beloved concubine.

Emperor Ling stood up and paced back and forth, hoping that there was a letter sent by Su Bei but not a single letter landed on him.

On the other hand, Su Yun who had managed to suppress the enemy faster than imagined, when he saw the fireworks of help.

Jump on his horse and bring some of his troops to go towards the North Gate.

"How long are we gonna get there ?" Asked Su Qionglin.

"We will get there in time, fortunately that Su's residence is not too far from the North Gate. If it's too far away, then I'm afraid it'll take more than six hours. " Say Zhuang Zhiqi explained.

Su Qionglin did not ask further and waited for where they would arrive at the border, the distance from the residence to the border was about 250 miles.

Indeed the right time is about 5 hours, only that if it is not accompanied by rest. If you rest, it will take more time.

They rest and stop for a while to feed their horses and drink from the surrounding springs and grass.

Then continue the journey again without stopping, after walking for a few long hours.

Su Qionglin finally began to hear the noisy fighting arena and the thunderous smell of blood fishy.

"Are the frontiers ?" Asked Su Qionglin.

"Not yet, still about 5 miles ahead, are you able to feel it already ?" Zhuang Zhiqi asked with an accurate guess.

"Not really, I just faintly heard his voice and also I guessed. " Answer Su Qionglin.

They slowed down their horses and Zhuang Zhiqi began to draw out his sword in case any enemies attacked.

"General Su !" Zhuang Zhiqi.

"What's up ?" Asked Su Qionglin.

"General Su was brought into the security post with blood, Qingyi took Miss Su there, I will open a path for you. " She said Zhuang Zhiqi then spurred his horse at high speed and crushed everyone in front.

Zhuang Qingyi did not delay any longer and advanced forward until the front of the guard post, there was Vice General Fang.

"Second Miss ?" Vice General Fang asked in surprise at their presence.

Just hearing his voice made Su Qionglin know who it was.
