The loss was unexpected and caught everyone off guard.

When news of General Zhenyuan's capture reached the Prince, he knew something was wrong and immediately fled.

But they couldn't escape.

There were people from the Western Liang Crown Prince in the Western Liang army camp. In order to ensure the safety of King Cheng, General Zhenyuan arranged for his trusted men to follow King Cheng.

Could the General Zhenyuan's confidants allow Prince Cheng to escape right under their noses?

King Cheng has fled; what can they offer in exchange for their great general?

King Cheng was arrested almost as soon as he left his tent.

The news that Xie Jingyan had captured the Zhenyuan General alive was even more exciting than the news that Du Cheng'an had shot the Zhenyuan General's son dead with an arrow.

After showing off his nephew, the emperor then showed off his own son.

When the Emperor learned that Xie Jingyan had lured and captured General Zhenyuan using Du Cheng'an, and that even with a breastplate, Du Cheng'an was still so badly injured that he couldn't get out of bed for three days, the Emperor wanted to give Xie Jingyan a beating again.

The Emperor was angry that Xie Jingyan used Du Cheng'an's life as bait, and also angry that Xie Jingyan fought against the General Zhenyuan of Xiliang without even wearing a breastplate.

Needless to say, Princess Huyang was terrified. Although Du Cheng'an was already out of danger when she received the good news, her heart still trembled like a leaf when she heard the news.

The battlefield is inherently dangerous, let alone using oneself to lure the enemy. Princess Huyang was furious and said to her husband, "No matter what, I will never let An'er go to the battlefield again!"

The eldest son-in-law was also still shaken. He said, "This time it was a bit risky, but Prince Ling gave his breastplate to An'er."

Princess Huyang said, "If the Heart-Protecting Mirror were so effective, why would An'er have been injured and bedridden for three days?"

The eldest son-in-law said, "An'er has suffered a lot, but without An'er as bait, the war would not have stopped, and we don't know how many more soldiers would have died at the hands of Xiliang."

"Since An'er is alright, don't be angry."

Princess Huyang didn't say anything about what had already happened, but she feared there might be a next time.

She only has one son, An'er.

Princess Huyang felt guilty for failing her son, who had been away from her since childhood and suffered greatly.

The eldest son-in-law didn't say much; he didn't need to argue with Princess Huyang about the future now.

We'll deal with the future when it comes.
