Chapter 63 Chapter 63 We were all just forced into this game...

The earth was shaking, which showed how huge the number of people were.

Yuan Susu knew that it couldn't be Shen Rang, because Shen Rang was dealing with Hesheli in Shangjing.

Who could that be?

Fengyang Wang’s army?

Nur put Susu on the ground and ordered his subordinates behind him to control Yuan Susu. Nur knew very well that he could break through the many checkpoints set up by Liangzhou Wei in the city.

That must be a powerful enemy.

In the current situation, anyone who dares to send troops to attack Liangzhou Wei must be here to rescue the eldest princess.

So she is Nur's last trump card to save his life.

Susu's wrists were tied with ropes and she couldn't move. She raised her hands to block the flying dust and sand.

After the dust in the air settled, she raised her eyes to look at the young man riding a horse with bright clothes, silver armor and red tassels.

It’s Xie Heng.

besides…

The dashing and heroic figure that walked out from behind Xie Heng was no less imposing than Yan Gui, a man of great courage!

This is...

Is this the backup plan Shen Rang left for her?

When Yan Gui drew the bow, he looked at Nur with a sharp look, and it was obvious that Nur was panicking.

Nur had fought with Yan Gui in Liangzhou Wei and was defeated.

Since Xie Heng and Yan Gui always had a good relationship with the six ministries, he thought that they were here to help him eliminate the evil and punish the villains, and deal with Li Chongshan who was trying to take power by taking advantage of the chaos.

Nur panicked when Yan Gui drew his bow and pointed it at him.

"General Yan, Prince Xie..." Nur took a few steps forward, puzzled. "Did you make a mistake?"

Xie Heng tightened the reins and slowly stepped forward. "The Liangzhou Guard rebels are trying to kidnap the princess. Capture them all!"

These soldiers were from the Fengyang King's army, seconded from the Fengyang King. The war in southern Xinjiang had eased a lot. When the Fengyang King saw Xie Heng holding Shen Rang's handwritten letter asking him to reinforce and rescue His Highness, he realized that Xie Heng was not ashamed.

Naturally, without saying a word, he transferred 15,000 black cavalry to follow Xie Heng and Yan Gui into Liangzhou.

Suddenly, Yan Gui's arrow came with great force.

Yan Gui's moves were powerful and aggressive, even more brutal and precise than those of many men Su Su had seen.

Nur dodged the arrow, but it still hit the standing flagpole of the Liangzhou Guard.

"Yan Gui! Don't forget! You are also from my Liangzhou Guard." Nur said angrily.

"How glorious the Liangzhou Guards were in the past!" Yan Gui frowned, dismounted, and, holding the sword at his waist, headed towards Nur. "Now Prince Anyang has become a traitor! Because of his selfish desires, the Liangzhou Guards have become traitors and rebels, bearing the curse of heaven and earth, and a name that will be infamous for eternity!"

"When the prince comes back, we can also divide Liangzhou!" Nur angrily blocked Yan Gui's attack with an iron hammer.

Unexpectedly, Yan Gui laughed: "Come back? You actually expect a dead person to come back."

All of a sudden, it felt like all the strength in Nur's body was taken away, and the hammer in his hand almost slipped out of his hand. "The prince... is dead!?"

"You don't know?" Yan Gui asked in confusion.

Xie Heng was leading people to rescue Su Su. He used a dagger to cut the rough hemp rope and asked with concern, "Ayin, are you okay?"

Su Su shook her head. She wiped the dust off her face and said, "I'm fine. Go help General Yan."

Nur looked at the few remaining members of the Jiaoshe Division around him. He hated himself for being so self-righteous that he let down his guard and only brought a few dozen people with him, thinking that he could capture a weak young lady.

Now the army is still entangled with the Tiger Division and it is difficult to come to reinforce.

He was skeptical about the death of Prince Anyang. After all, the eldest princess and the Liangzhou Guard were in the same boat.

A man as cunning as the governor must have verified it in every possible way, so...

Yan Gui is trying to make a scene.

Nur looked at Yan Gui with a sneer of self-importance, "Yan Gui, I won't fall for your tricks! Our governor has already gone to the capital to rescue people."

"Oh, foolish!" Xie Heng raised an eyebrow and looked at Nur, "Do you think Your Highness is risking his life to enter Liangzhou Guard just for fun? Yuan Chan is dead, and Liangzhou Guard is naturally a piece of fat meat that others are eyeing. If the military power is not taken back, things like today will happen again sooner or later.

Yan Gui echoed, "What's more, if Her Royal Highness the Princess was truly a rebel, why would we send troops to rescue her?"

Xie Heng sneered, holding his sword in his arms, "Looks big and strong, but actually stupid as a pig!"

"You!!" Nur was angry but dared not say anything. Now if he wanted to save his life, he could only swallow his anger.

Prince Anyang died.

The Liangzhou Guard was truly leaderless.

I'm afraid...

The governor is in great danger.

Nur regards Hesheli as a younger brother. They are both orphans who were dragged into war by greed for power.

Hesheli was too thin when he first entered the military camp. If it were not for Nur's repeated protection, Hesheli would have had all his rations robbed and starved to death sooner or later.

"What happened to the governor?" Nur suddenly put down his weapon, rushed forward panting, grabbed Xie Heng's collar, and said, "Speak! Have you framed Hesheli?"

Xie Heng ruthlessly pushed Nur's hand away with his sharp, cold, and blood-stained sword blade:

"Imprisoned in Zhao Prison, his life or death unknown."

Nur turned his head and looked at Yuan Susu fiercely.

He rushed forward, his eyes wide with anger: "It's all because of you!!"

Nur was like a spent bow and arrow. He was so angry that he completely ignored the Jinwu Guards who had escaped from the trouble not far away.

Suddenly, the arrow broke through the void.

With a few "puff" sounds, arrows pierced his legs, shoulders, and...

Yan Gui shot his arrow right in the neck.

When Nur fell to the ground, Susu saw the unwillingness and reluctance in his eyes.

Susu saw the grass under her feet, sparse and very lonely.

This is a rare green in Liangzhou, but now...

The blood flowed over the barren green grass, pulling down and drowning the lives that wanted to climb upwards.

She was filled with mixed emotions. This war was undoubtedly...

While the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits.

But looking at the Liangzhou Guard, which was once so powerful and supported half of the northern territory.

They also ended up killing each other and leaving the country in ruins.

How can I not sigh?

"Your Highness, are you okay?" Xie Heng looked at Su Su with a tear hanging in the corner of her eye, and felt a little bitter in his heart.

After Yuan Susu regained consciousness, she looked at Xie Heng and Yan Gui and said gratefully, "Thank you for saving me in time."

"If Your Highness wants to express his gratitude..." Yan Gui smiled meaningfully, "You should leave that thanks to others."

"Others?" Su Su didn't understand for a moment.

Yan Gui nodded. "Lord Shen told Brother Yu Ran about this matter before you left the capital. If Your Highness hadn't found a consort who was so foresighted, I'm afraid there would be little room for maneuver today."

It's really Shen Rang.

Yuan Susu felt warm in her heart: "My husband is naturally the best~"

"But... have you two heard any news from the capital? How is Shen Rang? Did he return to the capital safely?"

"Don't worry, Ah Yin. I heard that Lord Shen, the Left Censor-in-Chief, personally interrogated Hesheli," Xie Heng said with a teasing tsk, "That scene was comparable to today's."

"Is he...safe?" Su Su didn't want to know anything else, she just wanted to confirm whether Shen Rang had returned to Beijing safely.

Yan Gui patted Su Su's shoulder and said soothingly, "You're safe. I heard that Lord Shen is on his way. He's been sending pigeons every day these past few days asking us to protect your safety at all costs. The pigeons' cooing every morning is so annoying."

"Yeah, it's the same few words as soon as I open it," Xie Heng also curled his lips to comfort Su Su, "I've never seen him so anxious before."

Xie Heng had already let go of this relationship. He felt most comfortable and happy when he was with Yan Gui.

They mounted their horses, Yan Gui wrapped his hands around the reins, clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and shouted sternly at the Jinwu Guards:

"You must escort His Highness back to the tent first. Guard the tent and ensure His Highness remains unharmed. Otherwise, I will hold you responsible!"

"Yes!" Meng Yu and the Jinwu Guards responded in unison.

Yan Gui softened his voice and said, "Your Highness, the fighting ahead is not over yet. We will go there to stop the fighting and then return to the tent to discuss this with Your Highness."

Yuan Susu nodded and warned: "Be careful in everything."

Only after returning to the tent did her tense heart finally relax.

"Your Highness." Cuicui ran towards Susu with red eyes.

Aunt Jin wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. She heard that His Highness was almost killed.

He was filled with regret, fearing that his little prince might encounter an accident.

She went over and grabbed Susu, looking left and right. She found that she was not injured, but her wrist bones were red.

Aunt Jin: "Amitabha, may the Imperial Concubine bless you."

Su Su gasped for breath, tears rolling down her face like pearls from a broken string.

The fear that had been suppressed for a long time finally could not be suppressed at this moment.

"Your Highness, would you like to take a bath to relieve your fatigue?" Cuicui asked.

Yuan Susu nodded, but the feeling of grievance still lingered in her heart, eventually turning into bitterness and causing tears.

She is just a teenage girl. During this period of time, Yuan Susu personally experienced what it means to be in troubled times. Everyone is not innocent but has their own unspeakable secrets.

In the end, it was greed that was at work. If Yuan Chan hadn't been so eager for power.

Today, Liangzhou Wei is still respected by all people.

But on second thought, how could he not do this?

Jin Xia's vitality was damaged and he had already fled. He would not make a comeback for at least ten years.

The chess pieces that were once useful have now gradually become useless. There is no guarantee that one day the imperial court will order Yuan Chan to hand over his military power.

But once he surrenders his military power, his death will be imminent.

No king would allow a person who could invisibly stabilize the morale of the army and hold great power to remain in the army after his military power was taken away.

Yuan Chan’s only fate at that time would be death.

Why couldn't he prepare for the future and take a chance against his doomed fate?

Su Su felt vaguely that no one was wrong.

History is so cruel and heavy.

She was caught up in it, using others and being used by others, repeating the cycle over and over again.

Even Susu herself couldn't tell how many lives she had taken.

An idea suddenly popped up in Yuan Susu's mind, but if he didn't fight for himself, if the sword was not in his hand.

Then the next person to become a prisoner and be killed by the sword will be me!

No one is wrong in this game of thrones. What is wrong from the beginning to the end is the world.

She looked at herself in the bronze mirror, whose eyes were becoming increasingly numb and even empty. Susu wanted to see through the bronze mirror to see if there were any soul fragments that did not belong to her hidden behind her deep eyes.

Perhaps the light was too dim, unfortunately, she couldn't see anything clearly.

"Your Highness, the water is ready. Please take a bath." Aunt Jin and Cuicui filled the bathtub behind the screen for Susu with hot water.

After the clothes were removed, Aunt Jin saw that the scars on Su Su's body were not limited to her wrists...

Because Yuan Jiyin's body had been spoiled since childhood, she was naturally bruised and battered by their rough treatment.

(The rest will be in the comments.)

[I will include a certain number of words in the preface for each random chapter in the future! Remember to open the preface~]

-----------------------

The author has something to say: There are a lot of scars.

"How sad the prince consort would be if he saw this." Cuicui sighed.

Shen Rang: Galloping on horseback, don't use Q
