"I heard that the master of the Shen Clan died at the bottom of the Lancang River. I wonder what your relationship is with the master?" The guard beside him said in a hoarse voice, with a slight urgency.
Wan Xin said in a deep voice: "I am the new leader of the Shen Clan, and Miao Shi is one of the four envoys of the Shen Clan. What relationship can there be between the previous master and Miao Shi?"
The guard stared at her and said, "When did the maid of the sect master become the new sect master? You should really congratulate her."
Wan Xin sneered, "Thank you." After saying that, she didn't look at him again.
The guard's eyes flashed, as if he was still unwilling to give in. He stared at Su Li and said, "Your Excellency effortlessly broke through the secret formation of Dasheng Machinery the day before yesterday. I sincerely admire you. I hope that you can join our Dasheng Army and give me your advice."
Wan Xin frowned and said: "Today I am helping you to escape. I really don't want the two countries to meet at war again and the lives of the people will be ruined. Why do you need to cause more trouble?"
"You want our country, Sheng, to withdraw its troops?" His eyes flickered, and murderous intent suddenly appeared.
Yang Xiao suddenly laughed, "The emperor Sheng killed my sister and raised an army to invade. Everyone knows what his purpose was. Now that he has taken the initiative to negotiate for peace, does he still have the intention to fight you to the death? If that person knew about it underground, he would mobilize the world's soldiers to kill him. Countless, I'm afraid I won't really feel at ease. Don't you think so, Miaoshi?" He suddenly turned his eyes and grabbed Su Li's hand with a smile.
The guard suddenly moved, and his fingers were as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, he had already clasped Yang Xiao's shoulder. With a rush of internal strength, he heard the crisp sound of his bones. Yang Xiao couldn't control his cry of pain. Su Li was startled, and without hesitation, he slapped his hand. Swing it towards his face. Unexpectedly, his palm changed faster. In the next second, he had turned his hand up and grabbed her wrist. Wan Xin was shocked when he saw this, and immediately waved his palms upward, tapping Jiang Yuan's veins from left to right.
Without moving his expression, he grabbed Su Li and threw him back. At this moment, Li Fengxian seemed to suddenly come to his senses, stepped forward with his hands, and forcefully forced Wan Xin and Jiang Yuan back. Su Li didn't expect her father to take action, so she didn't dare to rush away, and fell straight down with the guard, crashing into his arms.
She looked up and saw his eyes.
So close.
There was pain, hope and fear in his eyes, and she almost looked at them completely.
"Come with me
. "His deep voice suddenly rang in her ears. It was a sound so familiar that it kept her awake at night, making her tremble involuntarily.
Suddenly, with a whooshing sound, a sharp arrow came through the air, penetrated the car window, and was nailed to Li Fengxian's neck. If he hadn't dodged quickly, he might have been nailed to the throat and died.
The expressions of the three people who were entangled together in the car changed. His eyes turned cold, he hugged her hard and rolled out of the car.
The carriage stopped with a screeching sound, and shouts of death suddenly shook the sky.
Su Li's eyes darkened and he didn't bother to say anything. He pushed him away, grabbed Yang Xiao and jumped onto the roof of the car. Wan Xin and others have been fighting bloody battles amid the heavy siege of the Bian army. Outside the encirclement, the leader sitting on the horse was not wearing a battle armor, but an official uniform. Su Li put the sword on Yang Xiao's neck again and shouted to the man: "Stop, or I will kill him!" "
The man raised his head and glanced this way, but there was no reaction.
Yang Xiao sighed in a low voice: "I don't know this person." His expression was solemn and serious.
Su Li's heart trembled, "He's not an official?!"
Yang Xiao frowned, "I've never seen it."
Su Li was shocked and confused. The people surrounding him were clearly Bian Kingdom's troops. They were well-trained, but Yang Xiao's expression didn't look like he was lying. Could it be that Xiao Wang Yangzhen deliberately sent someone who didn't know Yang Xiao to intercept him? Su Li sneered, "It seems that Prince Xiao no longer wants to care about your life or death."
Yang Xiao glanced at the leading official, "He looks like a dog, look at how this prince will tear him into pieces!"
Su Li said coldly: "Let's think about how to save our lives first."
On the towers on all sides, many archers suddenly appeared, and arrows rained down from all around, densely shooting towards the carriage. Su Li was startled, and immediately let go of Yang Xiao and jumped out of the carriage, swung her sword tightly, and quickly searched for the old figure.
At this time, an unparalleled powerful force burst out suddenly, one wave after another without stopping, and there was only a "bang" sound. The carriage exploded and scattered, and the wood chips of the carriage seemed to be endowed with shocking power, like a life-threatening weapon. The swords flew towards the surrounding towers, and screams followed, and the sound was endless. Bodies fell from the tower and blood splattered in the air.
A figure flew into the sky, rushed towards Su Li, grabbed her slender waist, and with irresistible strength and posture, took her to the opposite roof.
.
He roared loudly, breaking the sky with force.
At the other end of the street, a group of men and horses suddenly galloped over. There were no more than ten people, but they were holding sharp weapons and firing crossbows without any gaps. In an instant, they shot and defeated the Bian army.
Su Li couldn't help being surprised. What kind of weapon was this? It was so powerful that one person could defeat ten people!
Before she could speak, she saw someone running towards her. When she saw Su Li and the two of them, she waved her hand and the ten people were immediately divided into two teams. One team stopped at their feet, and the other team picked up Li Fengxian. Under the cover of bows and crossbows, they galloped towards the outside of the village.
Seeing that Li Fengxian escaped from the encirclement safely, Su Li breathed a sigh of relief and tightened her palms around her waist. He had already carried her down the roof and jumped onto a tall horse!
The horse rushed out of the village as fast as lightning. Although Su Li had expected that he would not come unprepared, Su Li was still a little frightened. His body temperature could be heard from behind, and his heart was beating fast and uncontrollably.
"Susu." He whispered softly in her ear, his voice trembling and hoarse. He buried his face in her neck and breathed in her special fragrance. He was so excited that he couldn't calm down.
It's her, it's her, it's her!
The man's breath blew all over the woman's neck, and the hot temperature penetrated the skin and reached the bottom of her heart, seeming to melt her cold heart.
Su Li's body stiffened for a moment, and she wanted to push him away and leave desperately, but her hands seemed to be out of control and she couldn't move at all.
There were still pursuers behind her, and she felt her waist tighten, as if he had used up all the strength in his life to hold her until she couldn't breathe.
"Master, after crossing this ditch, it will be safe." The voice that greeted him was so familiar, it was Sheng Jin.
Su Li turned away unconsciously, her heart racing. She didn't see her father all the way here. I wonder what happened to him
"Don't worry, with Sheng Qin and the others protecting him, the regent will be fine." As if sensing the fluctuations and uneasiness in her heart, he whispered in her ear.
He could still guess her thoughts so easily. Su Li's heart sank, and she heard him shout in a low voice: "Su Su, don't leave me again."
. "
Su Li's eyes hurt, and she said coldly: "Your Excellency, you have admitted the wrong person." She pushed his arm hard, and a painful groan escaped from his throat. The warm and sticky feeling under her fingertips made her The movement froze momentarily.
The knife cut last night was very deep, and she knew it in her heart. Just now he used his inner strength to shatter the carriage, and it was inevitable that the wound would burst. Now he was hugging her so hard. How could the blood not soak into his sleeves
The fishy smell lingered at the tip of her nose. Su Li turned her head, feeling hard to understand.
He held her hand tightly, barely daring to move his eyes or let go. Compared with the joy of regaining something, he is more afraid of the despair of regaining something. No one will understand the grief and despair he felt during those seven days of frantically searching for her in the Lancang River! From that moment on, power became a thorn in his heart.
The corpses salvaged from the Lancang River were rotten and deformed, making it impossible to identify them. Only her wooden statue carved by his own hands was clear and complete. At that moment, his heart seemed to die with her. I had never thought before that he, Dongfang Ze, would be in agony for a woman!
"Susu!" He hugged her suddenly, and the hard black armor hit her chest, but she didn't say a word.
Dongfang Ze hugged her tightly, gritted his teeth and said in pain: "You are so cruel that you want me to live in the pain of losing you all my life!"
Su Li's heart ached. If she was really so cruel, she would want to kill him with one sword! To prevent him from being so entangled and digging out the deep pain in her heart again and again.
Dongfangze's eyes flashed, and he raised his hand to grab her mask. Su Li didn't expect him to be so eager. In the blink of an eye, his hand had already lifted a corner of her mask, exposing the left side of her cheek. .
Time seems to stop at this moment. He stared at her with wide eyes.
The corners of the woman's eyes were slightly raised, which was not the shape he remembered. The skin is very white, with no inherent blood-colored red marks. This face is... not hers? ! His hand suddenly froze.
"You..." His voice trembled and he was speechless. It was unbelievable that such a familiar smell and feeling could not be hers! No, no, he doesn't believe it! This person is her, it must be her! Except for her, no one would risk everything to save the regent Li Fengxian in that situation!
The horse ran for who knows how long. Su Li saw the long ditch right in front of her, and Sheng Jin's words rang in her ears. After crossing this ditch, it will be safe, safe...
Su Li's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly reached back and grabbed it.
.
The human skin mask fell off in the wind, revealing the most perfect handsome face in the world.
"Master!" Sheng Jin's shocked voice came. Su Li took advantage of the moment when everyone was stunned and slapped his shoulder with a palm. His arm was slightly loose, and Su Li immediately jumped up.
When everyone saw that she suddenly hurt him, they all aimed their bows and crossbows at her. However, Dongfangze's face changed drastically and he shouted urgently: "Stop! Don't hurt her!"
"Your Majesty!" Seeing the bloody color on his sleeves, Sheng Jin was frightened and couldn't care less. He rushed forward to help him, but he shouted, "Sheng Jin, stop her, quickly!" He was originally injured, Just now, my internal energy was violently shaken, and after receiving a palm from her, my internal organs were already in a ball of pain, and I couldn't use any strength at all.
Su Li's figure was like a ghost, and he had slipped three feet away in the blink of an eye. Sheng Jin gritted his teeth and had no choice but to fly after him. But she was grabbed by someone and said anxiously: "Master! The pursuers are coming from behind. Sheng Jin's lightness skills are far inferior to hers. I'm afraid if I can't catch up, my life will be in vain! Master, think twice!"
He stared closely at the figure that was getting farther and farther away, and his eyes seemed to be bleeding. He urged his war horse and said angrily: "Okay, you will meet the regent here, and I will chase..."
He took two hurried steps, but failed to cough up a mouthful of blood. Sheng Qin Shengjin was horrified and immediately stepped forward and said: "This subordinate deserves to die, I will go after him immediately..."
"Come back!" Suddenly, a powerful voice shouted. Everyone stared and saw that the regent Li Feng had arrived first. The dust behind him was flying, and it was obvious that the pursuers had arrived.
"Listen to my king's order, everyone should withdraw from the ditch immediately. Yuan Xiang's army is ambushing there, and the Bian army will not dare to pursue it again!"
He stared at Li Fengxian, almost unable to believe what he heard.
"You... you dare..."
"If the green hills are still there, why worry about not having firewood to burn?!" Li Fengxian stared at him intently, "Since His Majesty ascended the throne, I have never had second thoughts. I understand your Majesty's thoughts."
"You understand why you don't chase me?" His eyes turned red and he yelled with all his strength.
"Your Majesty, forgive me! If I can't take Your Majesty back safely today, I will be the sinner of Dasheng. After you go back, Your Majesty will be chopped or killed, and I will have no complaints."
! "
The shouts of death from behind were approaching, shocking the sky. Li Fengxian looked solemn, and without hesitation, he stepped forward and grabbed the reins of his horse, shouting loudly: "Protect Your Majesty immediately and withdraw from the ditch! Anyone who violates this will be killed without mercy!"
Su Li used Qinggong and ran all the way, as if she was escaping from a terrible dream that had been entangled for a long time. On the July day, the flames were in the sky, and the heat wave hit her. However, her hands and feet were cold, her body could not stop trembling, and her mind went blank until her sight came back again. When she saw the continuous roof ridges, she stopped and found a secluded corner where there was no one. The unspeakable pain in her heart almost tore her into countless pieces. Holding on to the wall beside her and steadying her breathing, she forced herself to ignore the throbbing pain.
Su Li's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he suddenly recalled what happened just now. During the peace talks between the two armies, Yang Zhen secretly ambushed him. I'm afraid he had the order of Emperor Bian, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to do such a bold act! And when Yang Xiao saw the surprised expression just now, he was clearly kept in the dark! Even he was kept in the dark, which shows that Emperor Bian really wanted to get rid of his father.
In the past, the regent Li Fengxian commanded thousands of troops and swept across the world. He was famous and feared. Although he is getting older, he has extremely rich combat experience. He is still a powerful and terrifying opponent to the brave and skilled Bian people!
On one side is her father who has no blood relationship but carefully raised her to adulthood! The other side is the biological brother of the mother and concubine! No matter which party, she doesn't want to hurt them.
Dongfang Ze came to the battlefield in person as soon as he ascended the throne. It is self-evident that he attached great importance to this war. The relationship between the two countries is already tense, and today's peace talks broke down, which is like adding fuel to the fire, and the situation is on the verge of breaking out. It is indeed extremely difficult to successfully quell this war.
But no matter how difficult the road ahead is, she will not back down. For the only close relative she has in this world!
Her cold eyes were suddenly firm. She turned her wrist lightly, and the arrow in her sleeve soared into the sky. The sharp chirping of birds pierced the sky. It was Shenmen's unique contact signal. In the blink of an eye, there was a response.
Not long after, four strong and agile figures rushed over. They were Wan Xin, Xiang Li, Jiang Yuan, and Qin Heng. They landed silently and quickly surrounded Su Li.
"Miss!" Wan Xin asked urgently, "Are you okay?"
Suddenly, Su Li was kidnapped by the guard. They fought back bravely and had a hard time getting away. They were afraid that something would happen to her. Now that they saw her alone and intact, they couldn't help but ask with concern.
You couldn't see Su Li's face behind the mask. Her eyes were indifferent and calm, and her emotions didn't fluctuate at all. It was as if the accident that just happened had never happened at all. She didn't answer, just shook her head.
.
"Master, where should we go now?" Qin Heng looked at Su Li's face and asked carefully.
The peace talks broke down, and several of them clashed head-on with the Bian army, and hijacked the fourth prince Yang Xiao in public. Going back to the Bian camp was undoubtedly a trap for herself; but Sheng country was the place she had tried so hard to escape from, and she was determined not to go back. It stands to reason that the best choice now is to take this opportunity to quickly escape, stay away from the place of right and wrong, find a place to stay, and then make plans.
"Go back to the Yukou camp." Before he could finish his words, the Suli people had already quickly used Qinggong to rush toward the Yukou direction.
The answer was somewhat beyond the expectations of Xiang Li and others. Even Wan Xin, who had the closest relationship with her, was startled when she heard this. No one knew what Su Li was thinking about now.
The four of them looked at each other, suppressed the questions in their hearts, just sighed softly, then stretched out their bodies and followed.
Bianguoyukou military camp garrison.
Su Li and the others slowly walked into the camp. Someone had already heard the news and went to report it. Before they reached the door of the main tent, a group of people suddenly poured out of the tent. The leader was none other than the charming and charming Xiao Wang Yangzhen. Su Li glanced at him coldly. Yang Xiao's fiery red figure was nowhere to be seen, and he didn't know where he went.
Yang Zhen put his palms together and patted them a few times, and a cold smile appeared on his lips, "You took the fourth prince as a hostage, openly helped the enemy general to escape smoothly, and yet you still have the courage to return to the military camp. I really have to admire your courage! "
As soon as these words came out, the crowd became excited, their weapons were unsheathed one after another, and murderous intent suddenly rose into the sky. Su Li's eyes were as usual. Instead of retreating, he took a step forward, looked directly at Yang Zhen and said, "Prince Xiao, please calm down for now. I have something to think about when we return to camp." Discuss with the prince..."
"What else is there to say! You traitors have no good intentions at all!" General Yu next to Yang Zhen interrupted her and cursed angrily.
Xiang Li tapped his folding fan lightly on his palm, shook his head helplessly and sighed: "If you really have bad intentions, General Miyuangu, I'm afraid you will be dead. Why wait until now?" He is so stupid for using the name of a general for nothing. I couldn't help but roll my eyes.
General Yu was immediately speechless. Yang Zhen's eyes suddenly showed murderous intent, and he coldly snorted: "You have a sharp tongue!"
Just as Su Li was about to speak, the corners of his lips suddenly tightened, he pointed at Su Li and the other five men and shouted gloomily: "Here comes someone."
! Capture these bold traitors for me! Whoever takes his head will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver! "
The four Wan Xin men immediately swayed, revealed their weapons, and tightly protected Su Li.
Yang Zhen's eyes flashed, and his suspicions were confirmed. Chen Xiang, who was known as the master of the Shen Sect, was not the one who really gave orders at all. The woman who boldly kidnapped Yang Xiao was the real master!
All the soldiers were shocked, startled by the sudden reward. They glanced at each other, and then they woke up and swarmed forward with weapons in hand. Wan Xin and Xiang Li shot at the same time. Their bodies were like lightning, and they were already there in an instant. Several soldiers were injured and fell to the ground!
Anger welled up in Yang Zhen's heart. Faced with the situation where we were in danger due to the outnumbered enemy, these people showed no fear at all, and seemed not to take this heavy soldier in their sights at all! How dare a small Jianghu sect, the Shenmen, dare to challenge the majesty of the Bian Kingdom army like this
He waved his arm high and gave a silent command. Immediately, a large number of archers rushed up. Their sharp arrows, shining with cold light, were densely packed like layers of black clouds and pointed at the five people fighting fiercely in the field! It seemed as if he was gone in just the next moment!
Su Li's eyes turned cold, and he suddenly stretched out his arms, his figure suddenly lifted up, and the powerful internal force came like an overwhelming force! The energy swept across and the sharp arrows were broken!
Yang Zhen snatched the long bow from the back of the person next to him, quickly put the arrow on the bow, and pointed the tip of the arrow directly at the evil-looking woman in the field!
Suddenly, a loud shout came from not far away, "Uncle, wait a minute—"
Yang Xiao rushed over quickly, his red figure like a flame crossing the human wall and landing in front of Yang Zhen's long bow. He raised his arm, grabbed his hard bow without any doubt, and pressed it down! The injured area on his neck was now wrapped with a thick layer of gauze. It was obviously just a superficial skin injury, but he covered it up so exaggeratedly that people who didn't know it would have thought he had suffered multiple injuries.
Ignoring Yang Zhen's gloomy face, Yang Xiao still smiled and said, "We are all our own people. If you have anything to say, please say it. Stop it!"
The fourth prince gave the order, and all the soldiers hesitated for a moment, stopped unconsciously, and looked at Yang Zhen, not knowing what to do.
"Did I tell you to stop?" Yang Zhen shouted sharply.
"Uncle Emperor!" Yang Xiao stopped laughing and said solemnly: "If I really hurt her, Uncle Emperor will probably regret it!" He walked straight to Yang Zhen and whispered a few words.
.
Yang Zhen was stunned for a moment. His face was filled with shock, astonishment and disbelief. He was frozen for a moment. He suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Su Li carefully. "Are you telling the truth?" He was obviously half-convinced by Yang Xiao's words.
Yang Xiao nodded, with a rare look of solemnity in his eyes, "If you are not sure about such an important matter, how can your nephew talk nonsense?" He turned his head, looked deeply into Su Li's eyes, and sighed softly: "Is it true or false? The emperor’s uncle will know it as soon as he sees it.”
Su Li stood there without speaking. She knew very well that if she wanted the furious Prince Xiao to take back her life, she had to explain her relationship with her mother and concubine to him.
Yang Zhen was stunned and didn't come back to his senses for a long time. He stared at Su Li without blinking, as if he wanted to penetrate the mask and see clearly the face hidden behind. After a moment, he slowly said, "Everyone, get out! "
The soldiers were stunned and couldn't help but look at each other. Why did Prince Xiao, who was always so gloomy and unpredictable and at odds with the fourth prince, change his mind so easily? Who is this woman? Although General Yu and others had doubts in their hearts, no one dared to disobey his order, so they had to order everyone to retreat quickly.
Su Li said in a deep voice: "You guys wait outside the tent."
The people in Wan Xin stood still. Although Su Li didn't say it clearly, everyone had seen what happened in the past few days. There must be an inextricable relationship between the sect master and the Bian royal family. Thinking of Liu's deathbed Warning, there are so many words in my heart, it is difficult to sort them out at the moment.
It was very quiet in the tent. Yang Zhen stared closely at the silver mask, inexplicable emotions flowing in his eyes. Will the hope he has been looking for for many years be the answer he expected
"Okay. There are no outsiders here, little Ah Li, you can take off your mask." Yang Xiao said with a smile.
Su Li took off her mask, revealing her face that had not been revealed for many days. Her skin was slightly pale and her expression was indifferent. Her eyes were as bright as stars. The blood-red birthmark on her left cheek had faded away. She had a beautiful face, perfect without any flaws. .
Yang Zhen held his breath unconsciously. This, this face, was clearly the look of his sister when she was young in his memory! No wonder this woman made him feel familiar from the first time he met her!
"Uncle, my nephew didn't lie to you, did he?"
Yang Zhen's shocked and speechless reaction has proved everything. With such similar looks in the world, who can believe it if they say they are not related by blood? !
"You, what's your name? How old are you this year?" He couldn't help but move a few steps towards Su Li, his voice trembling slightly.
.
Yang Xiao stretched out his long arms, hugged Su Li's shoulders, and answered consciously: "Her name is Su Li. She is as old as my nephew. She is seventeen this year."
His affectionate behavior made her slightly unhappy. She stretched out her hand to wave away his arm, but before she could do it, Yang Xiao swooped over and sat on a chair aside, shouting: "What a murderer! He keeps doing it all day long." Hit me!"
"Seventeen... it's so fast, it's already been seventeen years..." Yang Zhen's handsome face showed a little bit of indescribable sadness. There has been no news from her for more than ten years, and he always thought she was dead! Unexpectedly, there was sudden news today.
He suddenly held Su Li's arms and asked eagerly: "Where is your mother now? How is she?"
The extremely eager expectation revealed in Yang Zhen's words was sincere and without any hypocrisy, as if there was nothing more important in the world than this! Mother and concubine... must occupy a very important position in his heart.
Su Li's heart that had been cold and numb for many days felt soft inexplicably. Yang Zhen in front of him was obviously a stranger he had never met before, but because he had the same deep feelings for his mother and concubine, the distance between them was shortened in an instant. . This feels strange... and new.
She suppressed the throbbing in her heart and whispered back: "My mother-in-law passed away last year and was buried in Shengguo." With just a few words, the scene of my mother-in-law's grief and despair in front of the coffin came to mind again, as if it had been eroding her bones. The pain instantly overwhelmed her!
Yang Zhen's arm suddenly stiffened and he couldn't let go for a long time. The little hope that had just been ignited in my heart was instantly shattered like a phantom!
The strength of his palms was astonishing, and Su Li endured the pain, "She has always been in poor health. Last year, Princess Mingyu died unexpectedly, and she suffered a huge mental blow. She couldn't bear it for a while..."
Yang Zhen's chest rose and fell, and he couldn't control his excitement. It took him a while to calm down. Although Su Li's words were brief, he keenly captured the key points. He was buried in Sheng Kingdom... and called her his concubine, Princess Mingyu! There are only three princes in the Sheng Kingdom. King Jing'an is dead and King Zhenning has ascended the throne. That leaves only... A thought flashed through his mind and he lost his voice: "She married the regent Li Fengxian?"
Su Li nodded silently.
Yang Zhen murmured: "No wonder you helped him escape today!" But something seemed wrong... He suddenly asked in a suspicious voice: "Your surname is Su, his surname is Li..."
"I don't know, uncle Huang, there is something else going on."
! The imperial aunt gave birth to a pair of twin girls! Ah Li was separated from the imperial aunt since birth and grew up in the Prime Minister's Mansion. And Princess Mingyu is another baby girl. Yang Xiao came over and said regretfully, "It's a pity that when I arrived in Sheng Kingdom last year, she and the emperor's aunt were no longer alive." "
Yang Zhen's face turned pale and he slowly sat down on the chair, closing his eyes and speechless.
"The deceased is gone. Uncle Emperor, don't be too sad. If Auntie Emperor is alive in heaven, she will definitely not want you to be so sad. Besides, there is still little Ali."
Yang Zhen couldn't help but feel something in his heart. His sad expression faded away, and he looked at Su Li again. His eyes revealed gentle love, adding a bit of warmth to his cold and handsome face, "Ah Li, from now on, You are like my own son! If you have any requests, just tell your uncle!"
"Thank you, uncle." Su Li sighed softly, "Su Li has a heartfelt request."
Yang Xiao quickly glanced at Su Li and seemed to have an epiphany in his heart.
Yang Zhen picked up the tea bowl, took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "Except for the truce between the two countries, everything else... my uncle can promise you." Before she could tell the reason, he had made his position clear, his eyes bright, The firmness between his brows showed an attitude that could not be refuted.
Su Li said calmly: "Why is uncle so persistent?"
"Dongfangze used the marriage between the two countries to kill Princess Zhaohua and the envoys, a total of 131 people! He also took the lead in launching a war to invade our territory. This is such a shame and humiliation. Ah Li, what reason does the Bian Kingdom have not to seek repayment?!"
"That's right!" Yang Xiao continued in a cold voice, the smile in his eyes still not fading, but his words were as cold as ice, "We absolutely can't just let it go! We must seek justice for Xuan'er! Ah Li, although Bian Guo It is not as rich in assets and military force as Sheng State, and it cannot be bullied by Dongfang Ze!"
Su Li's heart was dark. She knew that proposing a truce would be very difficult, but before they got to the point, the two of them were so angry and tough that they didn't give her a chance to delve into the topic at all. If we continue at this time, I'm afraid there will be no results and it will be even more unpleasant. It seems that we have to find another way.
Seeing that Su Li was silent, Yang Zhen suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled, waving his hands and saying: "Don't talk about these disappointing things, let's go down and hold a banquet tonight to celebrate the reunion of this king and Ah Li!"
Yang Xiao smiled and said, "Is it possible that the emperor's uncle wants to stay with Ah Li until he gets drunk?"
General Yu's voice suddenly came from outside the tent, "Report to the Prince
! The envoy from the Sheng Kingdom sent a peace agreement! "
The three of them were slightly startled, and Yang Zhen said in a deep voice: "Send it up!"
General Yu quickly entered the tent and handed over the letter. Yang Zhen quickly browsed it, and his face gradually darkened as his eyes moved. Yang Xiao also came up to him, his expression also not very good-looking.
The letter was casually thrown on the table by Yang Zhen, with a gloomy expression on his face. "I didn't feel guilty about setting up an ambush against Sheng Guo, but instead asked for peace talks again. What did the other side have in mind?"
General Yu shouted angrily: "This is simply too much. Fight if you want, and make peace if you want? What do you think of our Bian country?"
"The new Sheng Emperor Dongfang Ze, my nephew had dealt with him several times when he was in Sheng Kingdom. This man has a deep mind and never does anything without purpose." Yang Xiao seemed to take over the words unintentionally, but his eyes were full of surprise. He glanced at Su Li meaningfully and chuckled, "Even the people closest to him can't guess his thoughts."
There was a hidden meaning in these words. Su Li understood clearly, her expression remained unchanged but her heart sank slightly. She intuitively felt that Dongfangze's proposal for peace again so soon had something to do with her. Why didn't he give up? Suddenly, he thought again. At this time, he took the initiative to offer peace talks, which was a good opportunity to get close to him again. Otherwise, he didn't know when he would have the chance to get the white jade ring back.
She was thinking about it and was about to speak when a deputy general rushed in outside the tent and reported urgently: "Your Majesty, urgent report from the border! The number of troops at Fengtong Pass has increased sharply in recent days, exceeding the normal garrison strength. There are also spies reporting that there are still signs. It shows several large armies, totaling about 50,000 people, approaching Fengtong Pass one after another!"
Yang Xiao's lazily reclining body suddenly stiffened, and he jumped up when he heard this, "What?"
Fengtong Pass is located in the territory of Dingguo. It is an important pass between Bianguo and Dingguo. It is only more than a hundred miles away from the border of Bianguo. At this time, Shengguo invaded with troops, and all the troops of Bianguo were concentrated at the entrance of the territory. Fengtongguan Tongguan only has ordinary military defenses. If Dingguo suddenly launches an attack, it will definitely cause a great crisis!
Yang Zhen didn't speak for a long time, frowning and wondering: "Dingguo and Shengguo have always been on good terms, could it be that there is some agreement between them?"
Yang Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked at the map hanging in the tent, "Unless... they want to attack the east and the west? Under the guise of peace talks to delay time?"
After hearing the news, Su Li couldn't help but change her expression. According to her understanding, Dingguo had no ambition to conquer the world for the time being. Why did it suddenly choose this time to mobilize troops to surround Fengtong Pass? Is it possible that the world is really going to be in chaos
