"Princess Duan Rong..."
Li Yi and Miss Liu Er looked at each other, then moved their eyes to the man again, and asked, "What did you just say, say it again."
"shut up!"
The middle-aged man who was tied up stared at the man, his breathing was short, and his eyes were tearing apart.
He began to struggle vigorously, and the rope on his body rubbed red marks on his exposed skin.
No matter how unresponsive the man brought over by Lao Fang was, he knew that General Wei was tied up like this. He was definitely not playing some indescribable game. Looking at Li Yi and Miss Liu Er, he tremblingly said: "You, you, who are you..."
Li Yi looked at the middle-aged man, shook his head and said, "Don't waste your energy, the rope gets tighter as you struggle..."
I don't know who tied the rope just now. The way of tying it is so shameful. He looked at Lao Fang and said, "Help him untie it."
As soon as he untied the rope on his body, the middle-aged man rushed out of the village, but of course he was stopped by Lao Fang.
He lowered his voice and roared: "Let me go, I have an important thing to do, when I come back, I will let you handle it!"
"What's the use of you going alone, are you going to die?" Li Yi looked at him, said something lightly, and then asked: "The princess he just mentioned is Princess Duanrong of Wu Kingdom, Yang Liuqing?"
The middle-aged man stopped struggling and looked at Li Yi with burning eyes, "How do you know the princess's name?"
Li Yi's eyes signaled Lao Fang to let him go, Second Miss Liu had already stepped aside, whispering something to the small-minded and small-chested Bai Su.
Li Yi looked at the bald head beside him, and said, "Let them all go."
The middle-aged man stood there in a daze. He experienced several ups and downs in a short time.
Lao Fang patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't be nervous, my own."
…
Thorn Ridge.
Thorn Ridge is located on the border of Wu Kingdom, and tens of miles deeper, it is a chaotic place with no jurisdiction. The people and merchants nearby will not easily set foot there.
Thorn Ridge, somewhere in the forest.
The lieutenant general named Chen Qing wiped the blood from his forehead, and hissed: "Princess, I will lead two hundred people tonight, and even if I try my best, I will break through a gap. When the time comes, we will stop them, and the rest will escort you." Going north with His Royal Highness Prince Jing, when we arrived at the chaotic place, and met General Wei, they couldn't do anything to His Royal Highness..."
Opposite him, a young woman with disheveled hair and blood stains on her body, her face showed no trace of fear, her eyes were sharp, she shook her head and said, "Tonight's raid, everyone retreats with me..."
"Princess!" Chen Qing looked at him, and said in a deep voice: "We have been forced here, and there is no way out. The last general hopes that His Highness will not insist on going his own way, and focus on the overall situation!"
"Sister Huang, Sister Huang, I don't want to die, I don't want to die!" A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy rushed over staggeringly, wiped away his tears, and cried, "Let's surrender. If we surrender, they will die!" I won’t kill me, I don’t want to die yet!”
Yang Liuqing looked at him with a complicated expression, but did not speak.
Chen Qing looked at the young man in front of him, gritted his teeth, and said, "His Royal Highness, surrender is useless, they will not let us go..."
A trace of resentment suddenly appeared on the boy's face, he pointed at him, and said loudly: "It's all your fault, it's all your fault, if you didn't kill so many of them, they would definitely not kill us..."
"Shut up!" Yang Liuqing finally couldn't help yelling, looked around, and said, "Take him down!"
When the two guards carried him away, he was still flailing his arms and legs, and said loudly: "Miss Huang, I don't want to die, I don't want to die, save me, save me..."
Yang Liuqing didn't look at Chen Qing until he couldn't hear his voice, and asked, "What's going on down the mountain?"
Chen Qing pondered for a moment, and said: "They are currently stationed at the foot of the mountain, and sent someone to send a letter up, which said that as long as we are willing to surrender, we will not harm the two Highnesses, the deadline is tomorrow morning, if we don't Surrender, and they will attack..."
"It won't hurt..." Yang Liuqing looked at the setting sun that had just set in the sky, and said, "With the temperament of the second emperor brother, he probably won't let it go..."
"He can't wait to kill all the princes, so how could he let the two Highnesses go..." An old figure walked over, coughed twice, and said, "Just as General Chen said, forcefully break through tonight, Your Highness will take Prince Jing , go to the land of chaos and join General Wei..."
"Prime Minister..."
The old man waved his hand and interrupted her, "As long as His Highness and Prince Jing are safe, we still have a chance..."
"Chen Qing!"
He suddenly gave a low drink.
"The end is here!"
"Immediately arrange manpower. Tonight, at midnight, raid down the mountain and escort the two highnesses away!"
"yes!"
Chen Qing turned around and left without looking back. There were still 300 people left for them to fight, and there was still a glimmer of hope to break through by force...
After Chen Qing left, the old man watched the distance gradually disappearing into the dark forest, and suddenly said: "If your Highness can escape this time, don't come back."
Yang Liuqing looked at him, her lips parted slightly: "Prime Minister..."
The old man stretched out his hand, pressed it down lightly, motioned her not to continue, then spoke again, and said, "Prince Jing is unbearable, this burden, which is as heavy as a mountain, should not fall on His Highness's shoulders, and His Highness will go to the Qi Kingdom." Okay, let’s go to Jingguo, forget about Wuguo, forget about hatred, and also forget about Princess Duanrong, let’s live the life of ordinary people... "
Yang Liuqing shook her head, and said: "I once swore that I would not avenge my father, queen mother, and elder brother, and I swore not to be human..."
"After all, we have nothing left..." The old man sighed, and said: "Jing Guo is at the height of the sun, and it is getting stronger and stronger. Perhaps our Wu Kingdom is exhausted, but the people are just pitiful..."
Yang Liuqing lowered her head, clenched her fists, gritted her teeth and said, "I won't give up..."
The old man looked at her, with a look of pity in his eyes, finally shook his head, sighed, turned and left.
Yang Liuqing stood where she was, and after an unknown amount of time, her clenched fists and her nails had sunk deeply into her palms. She looked up at the full moon in the sky, her face full of determination.
It's just that behind this perseverance, there is still a trace of weakness and helplessness hidden deeply.
If it was possible, why would she be willing to bear such a deep blood feud, why would she be willing to take on such a heavy responsibility that would overwhelm a person
Why is she unwilling to be an ordinary woman
How much she wants to be an ordinary woman...
Tomorrow is fifteen.
Three years ago, she didn't have to face all the things she needs to face today, and she could still live in that small courtyard, which carried almost all the happiness in her life.
In that small courtyard, there is a master who is strict, but teaches her to spare no effort to be cold outside and hot inside; there is Master Li Yi who is very lazy, but she is never troubled by anything; Uncle Ruyi who is a master of martial arts; there is also the innocent, always silly but kind-hearted girl Xiaohuan...
That small courtyard and everything about Liumeng is something she will never let go of and forget in this life no matter what.
How are they doing now
When he was leaving, Uncle Ruyi was pregnant. The child should be almost three years old now. I don't know if it is a boy or a girl...
Is Uncle Li Yi still so afraid of Master? I wonder how his relationship with Miss Ruoqing and Miss Zuimo is...
She didn't know if the master still bullied the uncle a lot, and she didn't know if the master had ever fought over that Princess Pearl, and she didn't know—is the master still blaming her
She turned her head and looked in a certain direction. She knew that they were now in Shuzhou, which was a chaotic place, but this was already a distance that she would never be able to cross in her entire life...
Under the Thorn Ridge, there were swaying figures and countless flames.
At the front of the crowd, two generals on horseback kept looking at the dark mountain road.
One of them turned his head to look and said, "General, we have to wait another night, why don't we let them camp here first."
"No need." A person beside him waved his hand and said, "Attack at Zishi!"
"Attack at Zishi?" The man was stunned, and asked in disbelief: "But Your Majesty has issued an imperial decree not to hurt the princess and Prince Jing..."
"I don't know what the imperial decree is..." The man in armor grinned, and said in a low voice, "I only know that the secret letter His Majesty gave me said——Leave no one alive!"
