C2378 I Can't Leave

Princess Qi suddenly understood. Although the other party's actions seemed to be reckless, it was obvious that the other party had already thought of a countermeasure before making a move. Thinking that the other party could still think of her safety, Princess Qi felt incomparably gratified in her heart.

"No matter what, this time, thank you." Princess Qi said.

"Her Highness the Princess is too polite." That person said, "Your Highness, while the outside world is in chaos, this lowly one will send you away. If you really reach the Fengjue Country, it will be impossible for you to escape at that time."

The lowest ranking officer who came to the Imperial Guards was the one who reported to Lin Yu. After he found out that Lu Yizha might hurt Princess Qi, he went to find Lin Yu, hoping that Lin Yu could save Princess Qi.

However, he did not expect that Lin Yu would do it for himself. He did not intend to save Princess Qi for the sake of his family. This made the young officer unable to do anything. After all, he was just a low-ranking officer. In this team, there was not much right to speak. Although he really wanted to save Princess Qi, Lin Yu did not appear. He had no choice but to ask him to come forward himself. He wasn't qualified at all. That Lu Yizha wouldn't even look at him. He might even be killed by someone. As for Lin Yu... At that time, he wouldn't stand up for him.

Therefore, the officer couldn't do anything about it. Fortunately, at this moment, a rebel army attacked the camp. Lu Yizha led his men to give orders. The young officer was delighted. He took advantage of the time when no one else noticed and snuck into Princess Qi's tent. He killed the follower of the Fengjue Country who held back and wanted to save Princess Qi. He took Princess Qi and left this place.

Although the position of this young general was not high, but... He was still concerned about the Imperial Court. In his opinion, the Imperial Court had chosen to use Princess Qi for marriage. It was a very shameful thing. He was like many of his subordinates. Regarding this matter, they all felt that it was very shameful. They all felt the same way. Princess Qi marrying into the Fengjue Country was the embodiment of the incompetence of these soldiers. He was very angry in his heart.

And this time, among the group that was chosen to be the escort, this person was already thinking of saving Princess Qi and destroying this marriage. And now, he finally found an opportunity.

Who knew that after hearing his words, although Princess Qi also revealed an excited expression on her face, but after a slight hesitation, she shook her head and said, "You can leave. I will not leave."

When he heard Princess Qi's words, that person was stunned and then said anxiously, "Why? Could it be that Princess wants to marry into the Fengjue Country, that desolate land?"

"Of course I don't want to." Princess Qi shook her head and said, "But I can't be selfish and only think about myself. I am the princess of the Great Lu Dynasty. Then, I have to think about the entire Great Lu Dynasty. If sacrificing me alone is enough to exchange for a few years of peace in the Great Lu Dynasty... That is truly worth it. If I escape now... Then, the people of the Fengjue Country would definitely fly into a rage out of humiliation. At that time... They will definitely attack the Great Lu Dynasty."

"If they rush over here, I will definitely slaughter the enemies on the battlefield and force them to retreat!" The man said.

Princess Qi shook her head and said, "I know. Imperial Guards is an elite force. However, in the entire Great Lu Dynasty... The number of people in the Imperial Guards is also limited. When the other armies faced the Fengjue Country... There was no chance of winning at all. I think you should know this in your heart. Therefore, the Great Lu Dynasty urgently hoped to have a few years of rest and recuperation. If he recovers his combat strength and fights with the Fengjue Country in a few years' time... Perhaps there is still a chance of winning. "

That person became silent after hearing what Princess Qi said because he knew that what Princess Qi said made sense.

Not to mention other things, in their family sending off their relatives, other than the Imperial Guards, there were also some other soldiers. As for the combat attainment of those soldiers, this person was already clear about it. They were indeed inferior to the people of the Fengjue Country. Therefore, if they really angered the people of the Fengjue Country... If they were to attack the Great Lu Dynasty without caring about their losses... Then... It was highly likely that the Great Lu Dynasty would not be able to stop the other party at all.

"But, war is a man's matter after all. It's such a big matter. Let Her Highness the Princess, a woman, bear the responsibility. This..." That person hesitated and said, "The princess marrying off the Fengjue Country, this is the shame of all of us soldiers. This lowly one would rather die on the battlefield than see such a thing happen. "

What this person said was from the bottom of his heart. In fact, although the army of the Great Lu Dynasty could not defeat the people of the Fengjue Country, however, there were quite a number of soldiers below. Those who had similar thoughts as this man would rather die on the battlefield. They were unwilling to see such a disgrace to their country happen... However... The generals in the middle and upper echelons of the army didn't think that way. They were more concerned about their own interests. This was also the army of the Great Lu Dynasty. The reason why their combat strength was not strong at the moment was because of this.

"I'm glad that our Great Lu Dynasty has a brave warrior like you." Princess Qi smiled and said, "However, sometimes, some humiliation must be endured. What we can do is to remember this feeling of humiliation and return it to the other party in the future."

Princess Qi was clearly much more mature than before. If it was before, she might really follow this person and escape from here. But... She had matured quite a bit now and knew how to weigh the pros and cons. Therefore, although she was very unwilling to marry Lu Yizha, however... She didn't choose to leave.

"Her Highness the Princess, don't worry. This lowly one will never forget this matter. In the future, on the battlefield, I will definitely bravely kill the enemies and thoroughly defeat the people of the Fengjue Country." That person said.

Princess Qi nodded her head in satisfaction and said, "I believe that you can do it. Alright, you should leave quickly. Otherwise, when that Lu Yizha returns, you won't be able to leave."

This person killed the follower of the Fengjue Country, even though it was only a follower. However, if Lu Yizha knew about this, he would definitely not let him go. Therefore, Princess Qi also hoped that he could leave as soon as possible. She didn't want to see such a hot-blooded person. He would die here without any value.

That person was not a hesitant person. Seeing that Princess Qi really did not want to leave, he stood up and said, "Her Highness the Princess, take care. This lowly one is leaving."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Princess Qi shouted, "What's your name?"

"I am Sun De." The man cupped his hands and said.

Princess Qi nodded to indicate that she knew. After that, she waved her hand and let the other party leave. In the entire tent, there was only Princess Qi, Xiao Huan, and the corpse of the Fengjue Country's follower.

"Princess." Xiao Huan walked to Princess Qi's side and said.

"I know what you want to say. I have already thought it through. This is my life. I must accept it. If I leave now... The people of the Fengjue Country would definitely be furious. At that time... They would definitely return the favor. Furthermore, because of this matter... They would be even angrier than before. At that time, there would be no hope for peace. So, I can't leave. " Princess Qi said.

" Besides, the outside world is in chaos. Even if we leave this place... The rebels and the Fengjue Country... They will hunt us down as well. We are just two weak girls... It will be very difficult to escape from this place. "

Princess Qi's decision to stay was not because of a momentary hot-headedness. She had already considered everything clearly. She understood. Once she escaped, the people of the Fengjue Country would never take their anger out on the Great Lu Dynasty. The armistice agreement that they had paid a huge price to obtain would be completely abolished. The Great Lu Dynasty would most likely be unable to recover under the attack of the other party. It might even collapse completely. Princess Qi was the princess of the Great Lu Dynasty. It was obvious that she was unwilling to see this happen.1

In addition, the situation outside was so chaotic. There were people from the Fengjue Country, people from the Imperial Guards, and also people who rebelled. Even if she and Xiao Huan were willing to leave with Sun De, it would be very difficult for them to escape from this camp smoothly.

Furthermore, even if they escaped, where could they escape to? Return to the capital? That was obviously not possible. They had just come out from that place. Princess Qi's Brother Emperor had already betrothed her to Lu Yizha, although he was definitely unwilling in his heart. But now, it was obvious that he would also be willing to see Princess Qi run back halfway. Even if her Royal Brother was willing to accept her, those ministers would know. They would definitely not be willing to let go of this matter.

If she could not return the capital, Princess Qi could not think of where she could escape to. Furthermore, once they escaped, no matter if it was the people of the Fengjue Country... They couldn't return to the capital. They simply couldn't find a place that was safe enough.

Therefore, Princess Qi understood that no matter how unwilling she was, the only way was to split the Fengjue Country.

"Why did the heavens treat Her Highness the Princess like this?" Xiao Huan said with a sobbing tone.

It was not easy for them to have an opportunity to escape, but Princess Qi gave up. It would be very difficult to have such an opportunity in the future. This also meant that they had to go to the Fengjue Country.

"Perhaps, this is fate." Princess Qi said with a smile. After that, she bent down and took out a dagger from the follower on the ground. She inserted a blood stain on the follower's body and then put the dagger into her clothes.

"We did not get nothing. At least, on the way here, that bastard from the Fengjue Country, don't even think about touching me." Princess Qi said.

Previously, because of her carelessness, her dagger was stolen. Now... She took back the dagger again. Naturally, she would not make the same mistake again. She had to protect herself as much as possible, even though she understood in her heart. What she did was simply futile.

"Un!" Xiao Huan nodded her head heavily and said.

"Come, sit down. I will check your injuries. When the battle outside has calmed down, I will call the Imperial Physician over to take a look." Princess Qi said to Xiao Huan.
