Chapter 36: Peasant Girl vs. Princess of the Former Dynasty (11)

"Lin Zhi..." He looked at her, wanting to

say something but stopping himself. He couldn't see his heart clearly now.

"Don't go." Lin Zhi hugged his waist and continued to beg.

She had already lost Chen Mu. Without Chu Mu's help, how could she seek revenge? Moreover, Wang Xiu, the leader of the rebel army who had appeared out of nowhere, had named her and wanted to skin her alive and kill her. Once Shi Yi, the puppet in the Yuan Dynasty's palace, was exposed, no one would protect her. She, the real princess of the former dynasty, would surely die.

She only hated herself for listening to Chen Mu's words and choosing to let Shi Yi enter the palace instead of herself. Otherwise, she would have completed her plan long ago.

"You stay here first." Chu Mu forcibly pried her hands apart and strode away.

"Chu Mu, are you so cruel..." She threw herself on the bed and cried.

Her mother had long told her that men were unreliable, but she never listened. Now, she finally tasted the bitter fruit.

But she forgot that Chu Mu had taken her away from the bitter sea of ​​hardship in the frontier.

Study.

"How is the young master going to place that woman?" The most prestigious elder of the Chu family looked at him.

How much trauma this woman had brought to their Chu family. Now that she appeared again, it was definitely not a good thing.

"Let's place her in the mansion for the time being." Chu Mu was a little confused. Although his feelings for her were no longer the same as before, after all, they were childhood sweethearts who grew up together. How could he just leave it alone?

"Young master, don't forget that she was once Chen Mu's concubine." The elder reminded him. The implication was that how could the young master of the Chu family pick up a woman who had been used by others.

"I haven't forgotten." Chu Mu restrained his inner emotions.

He is now the young master of the Chu family. He must put his family first in everything he does, and not be sentimental.

"I heard that the leader of the rebel army, Wang Xiu, has been looking for the princess of the previous dynasty to avenge her." The elder said this in an affirmative tone, and his purpose was still to remind Chu Mu to put aside Lin Zhi, this hot potato.

"Wang Xiu is nothing to worry about." Chu Mu, who had never experienced Wang Xiu's true strength, did not take him seriously at all.

"Young Master, you'd better keep a low profile." The elders did not want the family to clash with the rebels.

The Chu family had finally recovered some of its vitality in recent years. If it got involved in the struggle between the rebels and the Great Yuan Emperor, it would certainly be difficult to have peace.

"I saved it." Chu Mu looked out the window with his hands behind his back, and a flash of impatience flashed across his eyes.

In the past few years, although he successfully took over the position of young master, he never made decisions on his own. These elders, all of them bound him in the name of doing good for him and the family.

"Since the young master knows what's going on, I, an old antique, will not say anything more." The elders understood that young people all had their own opinions, and most of them would not listen to what the old men said, and some words should be said to the point, so there was no point in saying more. He hunched his back and left with the help of his confidants.

In August, Kyoto, contrary to its usual practice, had been raining heavily.

After delaying for more than a month, the Great Yuan Emperor finally sent his concubine, the "Princess of the Former Dynasty", to the gate of Changshan Pass Camp.

"Come here, invite the Princess of the Former Dynasty to the camp for me." Wang Xiu sat steadily in the camp, looking forward to the "reunion" with her enemy.

As for Chen Mu, who led the people to massacre the village, he had already taught him a lesson. Now, Chen Mu is living a life worse than death. Shi Yi, who

was tied up, was pushed and shoved by a group of soldiers in the barracks and came to Wang Xiu.

When she saw Wang Xiu for the first time, she was stunned for a while.

The two had been separated for many years and no longer knew each other, but the familiar feeling was still there.

"Are you Wang Xiu?" Shi Yi still acted like her favorite concubine.

She bet that these leaders were used to being humble and seldom met someone as bold as her. The more she did not follow the ordinary path, the longer she would live.

But she obviously guessed wrong, because the soldiers in the barracks went up and slapped her, "Who told you to talk to our general like this!"

Forced to bow her head due to the situation, Shi Yi tilted her head slightly to one side to show weakness.

Wang Xiu originally planned to torture her as soon as he saw her, making her suffer a fate worse than death, but there was always a strange feeling in his heart that he was familiar with the person in front of him and he couldn't hurt her.

"Come here, bring me the portrait of the princess of the previous dynasty." He wanted to confirm again whether he got the princess of the previous dynasty herself.

The Great Yuan Emperor was cunning, and everyone knew that he doted on the princess of the previous dynasty. What if he couldn't bear to give up the princess of the previous dynasty and gave her a fake one? What

he wanted to avenge was a blood feud. Only the real princess of the previous dynasty could bear it.

"General, the portrait is here." The counselor unfolded it in front of him attentively.

Wang Xiu looked at Shi Yi for a while, and then looked at the portrait, his eyes flickering.

He compared the portrait with the real person, and they were indeed exactly the same, with no difference.

"Princess of the previous dynasty, are you really?" Wang Xiu looked at her deeply, full of inquiry.

Shi Yi certainly wanted to say that she was not, but the person in the portrait was almost exactly the same as herself, and there was no room for explanation. Moreover, if she really said that she was the real princess of the previous dynasty who was sent into the harem of the Great Yuan Emperor, she would probably be in more trouble.

"General, just get rid of her directly. Otherwise, she is the spy sent by the Great Yuan Emperor and leaks our secrets." Someone in the camp suggested this.

Since ancient times, beautiful women have brought disasters. Their general has never been interested in beauty, but today he made an exception and talked with the princess of the previous dynasty for a long time.

"Wait a minute." Because of the familiarity in his heart, Wang Xiu never dared to take action.

"General, do you know the art of disguise?" Shi Yi thought again and again and finally spoke. Life is precious, she must protect it well.

Wang Xiu nodded, his eyes fell on the blood-red palm print that appeared on her fair face, and his heart couldn't bear to let it go.

"I am not the real princess of the previous dynasty." Shi Yi looked into his eyes and said word by word.

The other soldiers were in an uproar. The person in front of them was clearly the princess of the previous dynasty in the portrait, but they still wanted to deny the general who deceived them.

"Be quiet."

Wang Xiu's light words had infinite weight. Everyone in the military camp shut their mouths and stopped making a sound.

"You said you are not a princess of the previous dynasty, then who are you?" Wang Xiu asked the question in his heart.

"I am originally from Wangjia Village. When Chen Mu came to arrest the princess of the previous dynasty..." Before Shi Yi finished speaking, Wang Xiu had already stood up from the chair and asked loudly, "Where are you from?"

"I am from Wangjia Village." Shi Yi was shocked by his reaction, but the words were still clear.

"Repeat it again." Wang Xiu stared at her motionlessly.

He didn't dare to think.
