Ji Jijiang used his hand as a blade to knock Zhao Pei unconscious, and before Zhao Pei fell, he reached out and held her. Ziye hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhao Pei, tears streaming down her face. Ji Jijiang looked up at Xiao Gang and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, leave the Princess of Xiangdong to me. I will definitely live up to your expectations."
Xiao Gang nodded with a smile: "Yes. You guys go quickly, take care on your journey." Ji Jijiang nodded heavily and carefully helped Zhao Pei over. He looked at Ziye, wanting to say something but unable to open his mouth, nodded at her, turned around and prepared to leave.
Ji Jiang had just taken a few steps when Xiao Gang called him again: "If you meet Xiao Yi, please tell him something and ask him to remember the brotherhood we had when we were young." Ji Jiang paused and just nodded. Then he hurriedly left the hall.
Xiao Gang and Ziye were the only two people left in the hall. Ziye lowered her eyes and knelt down, saying, "Then I will go and prepare first." Xiao Gang stood up and walked to Ziye's side. He stared at her silently for a long time, and finally sighed, "I know I'm sorry for you, but this is the only way now."
Ziye smiled sadly: "My life was given by the princess, so I must return it to her. I have no regrets."

Two hours later, a group of people came to Xiao Gang's palace, led by Hou Jing's confidant Hu Jun, who was a mighty and tall man. At that time, Xiao Gang was sitting by the window looking at the scenery outside.
Hu Jun smiled first, bowed and asked, "Is your Majesty well?"
Xiao Gang turned around, his eyes cold and silent.
Hu Jun coughed and said, "I came here mainly because the Prime Minister asked me to come and see Your Majesty because Your Majesty has been depressed and distressed."
Xiao Gang then sneered, "Your Majesty, as you keep saying it, seems to have a deeper meaning."
Hu Jun laughed heartily: "I just want to show my last bit of filial piety to you." He raised his hand, and someone behind him carefully came forward with a jade tray, and a glass cup was filled with amber wine. Hu Jun raised the corner of his lips and said: "This is the wine that the Prime Minister specially prepared for you."
Xiao Gang stared coldly at the cup of nectar and slowly raised it. His eyes reflected the light color, and he looked up at Hu Jun and others with a smile, causing Hu Jun to break out in a cold sweat.
Hu Jun put his hand on the sword at his waist, wondering whether he should go forward in person... Suddenly, someone ran in and knelt on the ground to report: "Sir! It's bad! Qiu Mingyuan just caught fire!"
Hu Jun was stunned and didn't react for a long time: "What?"
"The whole garden was on fire. We managed to put out the fire. There was only a woman's body left in the room. Judging from the accessories on her body... she looked like the Princess of Xiangdong..."
After hearing this, Xiao Gang smiled warmly and drank the wine in his hand in one gulp. The slightly spicy liquid flowed down his throat into his stomach, and his hand loosened, and the glass cup fell to pieces...
Seventh sister, I hope you can reach your destination safely.
Big brother... I think I have lived up to your trust... (To be continued)
