Ling Feng's expression was ice-cold as he said: "You dare!"
"Creak!"
"Creak!"
The archers drew their bowstrings in unison. Each of them had a solemn expression on their faces. As long as they gave the order, they would not hesitate to shoot.
"Why wouldn't we dare to join the Great Zheng Army?" The high-ranking officer raised his hand to give the order.
Ling Feng held onto the hilt of his sword, the battle was on the verge of breaking out.
"Stop!"
A beautiful voice came out from the carriage, following that, a white palm pulled open the carriage's curtain, and Hua Ruge who was dressed in a white dress slowly revealed herself.
That leader was originally one of Tuoba Rui's subordinates who guarded the border. When they were at the northern border, he saw Hua Ruge almost every single day, so he was very familiar with him.
With a single glance, he was stunned.
Hua Ruge raised her head and forced a smile: "General Li, you don't recognize me anymore?"
"Wang... "Esteemed wangfei ?" General Li stuttered, his face filled with disbelief.
Hua Ruge wanted to joke around, but started to cough the moment he opened his mouth. He could only wave his hand: "Open the city gates."
General Li looked at that familiar face and expression, and a look of surprise gradually surfaced on his face. He shouted to the soldiers with bows drawn and arrows nocked, "All of you, put down your bows. Men, open the city gates and welcome the princess into the city!"
Hua Ruge was supported back into the carriage by Xiao Xue.
The city gates quickly opened and Ling Feng drove his horse carriage into the city. General Li was already standing at the side and waiting for them.
Hua Ruge lifted the curtains on both sides and asked: "Where is Battle King? "Quick, take me there."
"Yes, your subordinate will lead the way." General Li mounted his horse and led the way.
Hua Ruge did not put down the curtain, but chose to look at the scene at the capital city. If the city that he had passed through had a few people, then this city was now an empty city.
The last rays of dusk were swallowed up by darkness, and the sound of the evening wind in the empty house was like a low whimper.
Hua Ruge's heart tensed up, he asked towards the front: "General Li, where did everyone go?"
General Li turned his horse around and went to Hua Ruge's side before saying, "Reporting to consort, all the people from the Dong Xia have been gathered in the empty ground by the Battle King, saying that they will all be decapitated by the sound of the midnight bell."
Even though he had been in the military for half his life, when General Li talked about this, his face still showed fear.
Midnight.
Hua Ruge looked at the sky. It was not yet late.
"General, please lead the way." Hua Ruge said.
"Yes." As General Li spoke, he rode up to the front of the carriage.
If he wanted to stop this calamity, Hua Ruge had to be there.
At the same time, the trees in the forest on the southern side of the city had already been cut down, and replacing them were people who could not be seen.
These people were tied together, and beside them stood soldiers holding long sabers.
Tuoba Rui, dressed in a black robe, sat on the ground with the black jade pendant in his left hand and the wine jug in his right hand. From time to time, he would pour some wine into his mouth.
Compared to the time the news of Hua Ruge's death came a month and a half ago, Tuoba Rui had slimmed down a few rounds. His eyes were bloodshot and his face was pale.
"You caused the death of Xiao Ge, and all of you will be buried with her. Everyone in the capital, and everyone in the entire Dong Xia, will die." As he drank, his blood-red eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty light.
The soldiers felt a chill run down their spines.
Wasn't the lives of several hundred thousand people over? But the beginning?
Has their Prince gone mad?
As he spoke, he looked at the jade pendant in his hand, "Xiao Ge, don't be afraid. Wait until I kill all these people, I will accompany you."
As the strong alcohol entered his throat, he laid down on the cold ground with a pained expression on his face.
He slowly closed his eyes. A bit of sparkling and translucent light could be seen from the corner of his eyes.
No matter how many people he killed, it was useless. Xiao Ge was no longer going to come back.
"Prince, please take care of yourself." The black panther said worriedly.
Tuoba Rui had already been suffering from an illness half a month ago, and his body's injuries were becoming more and more severe.
Tuoba Rui propped himself up from the ground and asked: "Is it time yet?"
He asked if it was midnight.
"There are still four hours." Black Panther hesitated for a moment, and after who knows how many times it opened its mouth to persuade, "Prince, please calm your anger. The commoners are innocent."
"Is my little song guilty?" Tuoba Rui found it hard to conceal his killing intent.
The black panther didn't say anything again.
"There are still four hours until the New Year." Tuoba Rui looked at the pitch black sky and said: "Xiao Ge, you must be very lonely over there, I will soon have these people accompany you."
The black panther let out a heavy sigh.
It seemed like this situation could no longer be reversed.
"Ta, ta, ta!"
The sound of rapid hoof steps could be heard, shaking Tuoba Rui, who was lying on the ground, he became agitated and waved his hand: "Scram, I don't want to hear anything right now, I don't want to see anyone."
"Ta, ta, ta!"
The sound of horses' hooves and rolling wheels continued to ring out, and soon they were in front of them.
Tuoba Rui turned his head around and shouted with a face full of anger, "Didn't you hear this duke say that no one wants to meet me?"
General Li rode back on his horse. A white hand lifted up the black curtain, revealing a similarly white wrist.
Tuoba Rui stared intently at that hand with a pair of blood-red eyes.
At this moment, it was as if something had grabbed his heart, causing all the blood in his body to stop flowing.
It was only a moment, but it felt as if he had been waiting for a century.
It was her hand!
Hua Ruge didn't even need Xiao Xue's support to help him, and neatly jumped off the carriage as soon as he lifted the carriage's curtain, allowing his bright eyes to see the Tuoba Rui who was lying on the ground.0
He had lost a lot of weight, and just by looking at his face she could tell that he was in terrible shape. Even though she had mentally prepared herself, her heart still throbbed at the sight of him.
Why didn't he know how to treat himself properly?
At this moment, she had already forgotten about her body's discomfort as she quickly walked forward.
Tuoba Rui saw that she was dressed in white, and was walking towards him. His blood-red eyes were full of surprise and joy, and he slowly extended his hand out towards her: "Xiao Ge, you came to see me?"
This was the first time he had dreamed of her.
But this time, she was especially beautiful and real.
It was good to see her again.
Hua Ruge saw that his eyes were blurry and knew what he was thinking about. She could not help but roll her eyes and pull his hand: "Really, no one wants to see you?"
"I just want to see you ?" Tuoba Rui immediately felt that something was amiss.
After so many dreams, he had never been able to grab hold of her. However, this time, he felt a sense of warmth.
His eyes froze.
"If you get up, you won't mind the cold on the ground." Hua Ruge said as he went to pull him.
Tuoba Rui's eyes flashed, he sat up and used his strength to pull her.
Hua Ruge was shocked, and she sat on his lap with her upper body wrapped in his embrace.
