"Qing-Ying-Ying-!"

The sound was like a bloody knife, piercing deeply into my body, making me tremble with pain. Liu Qinghan lowered his head and looked at me, hugged me tighter with his hands, and said softly: "It's okay."

I bit my lower lip and didn't look back. I just said slowly, "Pei Yuanxiu, you go back."

“…”

"I've given you everything I can,"

“…”

"But what you want is in the capital, in the palace, not in me."

“…”

"You go."

I grabbed Liu Qinghan's neck with my fingers trembling slightly, almost leaving deep finger marks on his skin. He understood what I meant. At this time, whether to fight or retreat was all within Pei Yuanxiu's thoughts. If he left, then the two sides would be safe, he could get his throne, and I could...at least at this moment, get a moment of peace and tenderness in this man's arms.

But if he wants to fight—

It was almost like responding to my words, and another sound of horse hooves came from the river beach. The soldiers who were originally half-kneeling on the ground begging Pei Yuanxiu to return to Beijing were shocked, thinking that there was another raid, but when they looked closely, they were General Zheng Tong. The light-handed soldiers behind him were riding a horse under each seat and leading a horse.

When Xie Feng saw this, he immediately went up to meet him: "General Zheng?"

Zheng Tong turned over and dismounted. Seeing Pei Yuanxiu standing in the middle of the river, he looked at us confronting each other on the other side of the river. After all, he was also a general who had experienced many battles. He immediately understood what was going on. He hurriedly asked his subordinates to take a defensive posture, and then walked forward to the riverside: "Please go back to Beijing!"

Pei Yuanxiu stood in the cold river water, motionless.

Zheng Tong said, "Young Master, it's getting late. Miss Zitong knew that the young master had left the capital, but she was afraid that the young master would not be able to return to Beijing and mistakenly ascend the throne, so she specially asked the general to bring his men to pick him up!"

“…”

"Young Master, come back to Beijing quickly!"

“…”

"After today, I missed the throne ceremony, and it was really-"

Zheng Tong didn't finish his words, but he already understood the meaning very well. Just like Liu Qinghan's purpose of disturbing his military morale just now, letting him know that if he did not return to Beijing, his emperor who "destiny belongs to heaven" would be questioned by all subjects. By that time, his country would not be fought by others, and it would be unstable in itself.

But Pei Yuanxiu stood in the middle of the river, and his body was already cold and motionless due to the impact of the river water, as if he had lost his perception.

He just stared at me intently.

When the soldiers of the Six Forbidden City Army behind him heard Zheng Tong's words, they all started to talk, and many people whispered: "Sure enough, Miss Han Er knows the best of the young master."

"Yes, if it weren't for Miss Han Er, I'm afraid today-"

"But, you must also be willing to return to Beijing!"

...

Everyone was talking, and there was only one center of discussion. After a low discussion, they all turned to Pei Yuanxiu in the middle of the river. Zheng Tong had already knelt on one knee: "Please go back to Beijing!"

At this moment, everyone fell to the ground-

"Please return to Beijing!"

As if he heard my gentle gasp, Liu Qinghan lowered his head and looked at me, his eyes flashing, as if he immediately understood something.

My breathing became even tighter.

This is my last chance.

When I negotiated the terms with Han Zitong before, I did not teach her to use any method to win Pei Yuanxiu's favor and thus get the position of queen, because I know that men like them cannot be grabbed by the heart, and the position of queen is often not the same as the emperor's favor. But sometimes, when he is at a critical moment, if you appear, then maybe he will have you in his heart.

Even if he doesn't have you in his heart and the people around him support you, you will have the strength that cannot be ignored.

So, I just asked her to pass this almost incredible order to her own people, that is, General Zheng Tong, who was stationed in the Xishan Camp.

In fact, just now, the people of the Six Army of the Forbidden City were panicked because at the speed of their pursuit during the day, even if they look back immediately, they are tired and they are likely to be unable to return to the capital within today. Once people have no choice, they will be crazy and collapse; but now, Zheng Tong has brought energetic war horses, which makes it possible for them to return to the capital within today.

In other words, they still have a choice!

In this way, Pei Yuanxiu has to re-weight it no matter what!

The voices of those people on the river bank were even more majestic and thick, with irresistible force: "Please return to Beijing by your son!"

At this moment, with the sound of water, Liu Qinghan had already taken me to the river bank. Xiao Yusheng and the others immediately surrounded him. A black shadow flashed and disappeared from behind Xiao Yusheng. It was Xiao Wusheng who had just been holding me in the river. He didn't leave until now.

Finally, we heard a sound of water behind us.

They all turned around, but I didn't look back, but I could clearly hear the heavy footsteps step by step in the sound of water. Pei Yuanxiu, he finally retreated.

Zheng Tong, Xie Feng and the others were all relieved. Immediately someone led a horse over, and someone hesitated whether to change him into a dress, but Xie Feng shouted and retreated. At this moment, every moment was urgent, and there was no chance for them to stay.

Immediately, everyone changed into new war horses. In the wind, the war horses neighed, and they all rushed to the ground almost immediately.

But Pei Yuanxiu did not turn around immediately, but tied the reins in his hand tightly and looked at us on the other side of the river. At this time, I could no longer see the expression on his face, nor could I feel the breath on his body. Only when he heard him speak, his low and hoarse voice was completely unfamiliar as if he was another person-

"Yan Qingying," he said, "we will see you again."

It was not until this time that I slowly raised my head and looked at him calmly.

"Goodbye, so what?"

“…”

He didn't say anything anymore, but just looked at me deeply, then turned his horse's head and said, "Go!"

With a command, the horse rushed out like an arrow. After Xie Feng looked back at me, he immediately rode his horse out with them. In an instant, all the soldiers on the river beach left, leaving only the smoke and dust they raised. The sound of horse hooves shook the ground and gradually became far away.

There were sounds of horse hooves across the river, and on the other hand, although there were quite a few people on our side, no one spoke.

But in this silence, I immediately heard many people breathing a sigh of relief.

Finally, they all left, and we were finally safe.

I saw Xiao Yusheng and Chabixing's tense bodies relaxed slightly at this time. They fought all day, spending every minute and every second at the knife edge. Even people like them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at this time.

But Liu Qinghan did not relax. Instead, his hands holding me tightened a little, raised his head and said to everyone: "Let's leave here first and go ahead!"

Everyone responded quickly, and those with horses got on the horse, while those without horses supported themselves to follow the team.

He hugged me on the horse, feeling me trembling in the cold wind, but he was also wet, so he sent a felt over, surrounded me, and then hugged me with both hands and held the reins: "Have you bear it first."

I couldn't speak. At this time, I had to use my best energy to resist the cold and pain that was not in trouble all over my body. Even my lips became purple and I just nodded gently in his arms.

He said, "Go!"

Everyone ran forward.

After a while, we passed through the dense forest on the shore. Once we walked over, we realized why he had spent so much talk with Pei Yuanxiu by the river just now.

The team here is far less than what you have seen before and imagined.

He just asked these people to tie pine branches to their ponytails and keep walking behind the woods. In addition, there were high cliffs on both sides, the sound of horse hooves kept echoing and smoke and dust, which gave people the illusion of troops.

As soon as he saw this, Chabixing gasped.

"Senior brother, you dare to come over to negotiate with such a little bit of people?"

Xiao Yusheng didn't say anything, and Liu Qinghan said slowly: "I brought a lot of people, but the team of people coming from Xichuan will definitely attract the attention of those people along the way. I am afraid that before I get here, I will be blocked halfway. So I can only disperse my troops and bring them here first. But don't worry, there will be people coming to pick them up along the way, and even if they send people to chase us, they can ensure safety."

Chabixing understood after hearing what he said and nodded gently.

But the people around them were still somewhat scared.

After all, if his words were wrong just now, or if Pei Yuanxiu made up his mind to take action, I am afraid that none of us will survive!

Even so, as he said, we are not completely safe.

Pei Yuanxiu left now because he was going to rush back to ascend the throne to avoid turmoil in the capital, but it did not mean that he let us go. If I was right, he would have issued an order to Xishan Camp on the way back and immediately sent a large army to chase us.

Fortunately, this team is also lightweight and simple in travel, and has brought a lot of horses, which should be able to keep up with everyone here.

Liu Qinghan said: "Everyone get on the horse first, and we will take advantage of the night to make sure that they can't catch up with us even if they turn back, and then deal with everyone's injuries!"

After saying that, he looked down at me: "Can you still hold on?"

His hot breath blew across his forehead, and the feeling made me drowsy. I looked up at him, and there was no consciousness in his eyes. He said softly: "If you want to sleep, go to bed."

“…”

I was confused for a while, slowly stretched out a hand from the felt, and barely grabbed his clothes.
