"Stop! Your Highness, so you really are..."

At the critical moment, the door was pushed open, and the princess stared in astonishment at the two people on the bed, her handkerchief crumpled between her fingers.

"Your Highness, I am giving you face in public, so you should also be more sensible and leave!"

The Prince of the South stood up, his face dark. Li Chengyan hurriedly sat up as well, making a move to run off the bed, but was grabbed by the Prince of the South.

Normally, dealing with the Prince of the South would be a piece of cake for Li Chengyan, but now that he's been drugged, he's like a woman who can't even kill a chicken.

Li Chengyan's arm was held in the palm of the Prince of the South, making him unable to move. He was so angry that he started to curse.

"You've come at the right time. Get your freak out of here right now. I'm about to throw up. You two go about your business and don't drag me into this. Otherwise, once I regain my strength, neither of you will be alive!"

Li Chengyan threatened fiercely, then turned and glared at the Prince of the South who was still holding his hand.

The Prince of Nan was even more pleased with Li Chengyan's fierce and aggressive appearance.

"Your Highness, you're not listening to me anymore! Get out!"

The princess was intimidated by the Prince of Nan's sinister gaze. She opened her mouth, but ultimately dared not say anything more.

Her maternal family has little power, so she cannot afford to offend the Prince of the South.

After the princess left the room, the guards at the door rushed over to report that the prison break had failed, and of the men sent, only he had survived. Even Chu Mo had been moved to another place by the King of Chu.

However, they also received another piece of information: Shen Yun was also imprisoned in the cell next to Chu Mo's at the time.

Shen Yun was shot in the abdomen with an arrow. When Liu Lin's confidant took him back, the King of Chu imprisoned him in a death cell and decreed that he would be executed along with Chu Mo the next day.

"A bunch of useless trash!"

Upon hearing the news, the Prince of Nan's face darkened considerably. He clenched his fist and coldly declared, "Summon all generals. I need to advance my plans!"

"yes!"

As his subordinate left the room, Li Chengyan suddenly sneered, "Want to rebel? I can teach you a trick, but you have to promise me you'll let me leave!"

"Oh? You have a plan? Tell me about it. If I find it useful, I will release you."

The Prince of the South, with a mocking expression, lifted Li Chengyan's chin, a half-smile playing on his lips.

The following day, at the Meridian Gate, Shen Yun and Chu Mo were escorted to the scene, bound hand and foot.

At this time, the ten fine horses had been assembled, and the officers and soldiers first put ropes around Shen Yun's limbs and neck.

Not far away, the King of Chu sat on a high place, coldly watching everything before him.

Only then did Shen Yun feel deep regret. If he hadn't neglected Ning Yin, hadn't been close to Yang Shuhuan, and hadn't humiliated Ning Yin in that way, would everything have turned out differently?

Perhaps his and Ningyin's child is already old enough to run errands.

If I have a son, he will surely be as brave as I am, and he will definitely inherit my mantle and continue the glory of the General's Mansion.

If it were a daughter, she would be as gentle and graceful as Ning Yin. He would spoil her and make her the happiest child in the world, giving her everything she wanted.

But now, he is about to be torn apart by five horses, and everything is no longer his concern. He can't even protect his mother and sister.

I wonder how my mother and sister are doing in their hometown in the countryside, and whether the people from the imperial court will make things difficult for them.

As Shen Yun pondered, his eyes turned bloodshot, but he did not believe that his choice that day was wrong. He had saved Ning Yin willingly.

However, he couldn't bear to part with her, and he couldn't forget her.

With all the ropes in place, Shen Yun lay on the ground and looked around. Not seeing the person he wanted to see, he silently closed his eyes.

Ah Yin, in the next life, I will definitely grow old with you!

"Execute them!"

The official tossed down the execution warrant, spoke indifferently, and the five horses began to advance in five different directions.

Shen Yun was instantly lifted into the air, and a huge pulling force caused him to spread out in a starfish shape, as if his muscles and bones were about to be torn apart.

The man gritted his teeth, his forehead covered in sweat. Chu Mo, who was preparing to put a rope on Shen Yun, turned his head away, refusing to look at Shen Yun's unfortunate state.

She was about to embark on her journey, and the only things she couldn't bear to leave behind were her brother, her mother, and Qing'er, who was far away in Daqi.

She was unwilling to accept that she hadn't been able to witness the death of the King of Chu, but she knew that the iron hooves of the Great Qi would soon be trampling in.

However, she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

Just as Shen Yun was about to reach his limit, a group of masked men dressed in black suddenly jumped out of the execution ground. The leader leaped directly towards the King of Chu on the high platform.

In an instant, weapons clashed and the scene became chaotic, which allowed Shen Yun to escape unscathed.

At the same time, Chongning and several generals had already destroyed all the military fortresses in the Chu capital, and even the Chu armory and granary were attacked by the Qi army.

As expected of the Crown Prince of Qi, he infiltrated the palace alone to obtain this crucial defense map, making the war go incredibly smoothly for him now.

The generals on horseback felt proud as they followed Chongning all the way to the Meridian Gate, only to find that the King of Chu had already been taken hostage by a man in black.

These men in black were sent by the Southern King to storm the execution ground, but they never expected that the Qi army would enter the capital of Chu so quickly.

Chongning squinted at the King of Chu on the high platform, then beckoned to the man, "Hand over the man to me, and I will spare your lives!"

Shen Yun and Chu Mo both looked at Chong Ning. The woman on horseback looked heroic and dashing, and Shen Yun suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Chu Mo looked at Chong Ning with a light in her eyes. Her childhood dream was to wear majestic armor like men and fight on the battlefield.

What Chongning could have obtained so easily, she had longed for for twenty years, but in the end, her father had to watch himself being torn apart by five horses. It was truly ironic.

On the high platform, the King of Chu trembled, feeling for the first time what it meant to be terrified. He had clearly strengthened border security the moment he learned that the defense map had been stolen.

Those important military bases and fortresses were also heavily garrisoned, so why were they so easily breached by the Great Qi?

He even sent Chu Han to the State of Wei to discuss the joint attack on the State of Qi by the two countries.

He had made thorough preparations, so why was he so easily defeated?

"You are Princess Chongning..."

The King of Chu looked down at Chongning on horseback and uttered a sentence.

Chongning responded with an imposing air: "Exactly!"

The King of Chu had heard of a female general in Qi who was as valiant and heroic as Mulan, and now the truth had come true for him.

He suddenly roared to the sky, feeling that his life was coming to an end. Taking advantage of the moment when the person behind him was not paying attention, he gripped his long sword and slashed it down to his own neck.

Before Chongning could even utter a sound to stop it, blood had already splattered everywhere.

Chu Mo watched as the King of Chu collapsed on the spot, but he felt little emotion. If these people hadn't arrived in time, he himself would probably have been the one lying on the ground.

Just as the Qi soldiers were raising their swords and cheering, a gentle voice suddenly came from behind the platform.

"Princess Chongning, would you do me the honor of having a chat with me at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion?"
