The fifth prince laughed heartily: "You've figured it out? Not bad! Of course I'm here for revenge. You killed my mother and my maternal grandfather's family, so why can't I take revenge?"
"Those who do evil will eventually perish." Qin Wan was too lazy to talk to such a person. Now that she had met him, she just had to wait for the reinforcements to arrive.
She didn't want to talk, but the Fifth Prince wouldn't let her go. He reached out and tugged at the rope, then said to Bai Wanyi, "If you want to kill her, this isn't the time. We'll hang her on the city gate. If they attack us, we'll kill her first."
Bai Wanyi's eyes lit up, and she instantly recalled a famous scene from a TV drama and countless novels - she helped him achieve success, but was shot dead by him on the city wall with an arrow.
Bai Wanyi burst into laughter, sheathed his dagger, and said, "I'd like to see which is more important, the country or you. But I think you will be shot to death by Xie Qing on the city wall, right? Hahahaha!"
"I really want to see what expression you will have then!" Bai Wanyi laughed crazily. It was so interesting that she saw such a famous scene.
The Fifth Prince's expression was not very good. "They say that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are deeply in love. If she is shot by the Crown Prince, how will we defeat the enemy?"
Bai Wanyi had a constipated expression on her face. If Xie Qing really gave up his kingdom for Qin Wan, she would be really unhappy. Why is it that Qin Wan only met true love, while she only met scumbags?
Bai Wanyi was incredulous: "I don't believe there is a man who would rather choose a beautiful woman than a kingdom. Such a good man only exists in novels."
The fifth prince remained noncommittal. "Let's hang her on the city wall now. Qin Bai has already deployed his troops outside the city. I'll try and see first. Does the Qin family want the kingdom or my sister?"
Qin Wan was slightly stunned, as if she couldn't believe it: "My eldest brother is here?"
The fifth prince said, "This is Zhengnan City. Your eldest brother has been besieging Zhengnan City for three days." He smiled grimly and said, "I wonder if your eldest brother's arms and legs are okay now. He has led the troops in attacking the city several times, but he has consumed a lot of explosives."
"What did you do to my brother?" Qin Wan's eyes suddenly turned red. Her eldest brother was so handsome and graceful. If he was injured in the explosion, he would be so sad. His father, mother and sister-in-law would cry their eyes out...
The fifth prince laughed heartily: "Are you anxious? Don't worry, there are still your grandfather and your father..."
He approached Qin Wan step by step, watching her step by step back, and breathed every word on her face: "I will take back what you owe me, one by one."
Qin Wan retreated repeatedly, stumbled, and fell to the ground. She fell on the stone steps, but couldn't get up. She recalled the news that King Yong had brought back earlier.
King Yong only said that Wuguan was short of food and grass, but did not say what the battle situation was like at Wuguan. I guess this also means that the five sense organs are safe.
But that was a while ago. What about now? What happened at Wuguan? What about my grandfather and father? Was my eldest brother injured in the battle at Zhengnanguan?
Qin Wan didn't dare to think too much. The Fifth Prince looked at her distraught appearance and laughed heartily: "Qin Wan, Qin Wan, you have come to this day."
Qin Wan looked up at the Fifth Prince, tears rolling down her cheeks. "Do you have any news about Wuguan? What happened to my grandfather?"
Bai Wanyi stepped forward and crushed her legs hard: "Do you want to know? Then go to hell and reunite with them."
"I'm telling you, I gave Beidi a lot of explosives and mines. If they cross it, they'll die!"
Bai Wanyi looked at Qin Wan's face, which had suddenly turned pale, and laughed loudly, "Are you scared? You deserve it! You opposed me, so they were killed. This is all your fault!"
Qin Wan's face became increasingly pale, and Bai Wanyi's smile became even more arrogant. She didn't notice Qin Wan's eyes and glanced at the wall opposite.
The Fifth Prince stared at Qin Wan, his heart filled with joy. He shouted, "Come and take our Crown Princess away and treat her well. We'll hang her on the city wall tomorrow. Oh, and the Crown Princess has arrived, but His Royal Highness needs to know. Go ahead and shout, let the Qin family's eldest young master know that the Crown Princess is in our hands, and let His Royal Highness know that she's in Zhengnan Mansion. If you want her safe, withdraw your troops!"
After the Fifth Prince finished speaking, he waited for a moment but no one came in. He frowned and shouted again, "Someone come! Where are the people?"
The Fifth Prince was furious, but no one came in. His expression changed slightly, and he turned to look at Qin Wan: "You cheated!"
Bai Wanyi was stunned and turned around to look. She saw that the roof of the small building behind her was full of archers, each with a bow and arrow drawn, aiming at them.
Looking at the surrounding woods, in the garden that was originally empty, countless people came out from nowhere, so densely packed that it seemed as if they were going to burst the garden.
Zhenzhen was standing in front of the crowd, holding two hunting dogs.
Prince Yong held a fire stick in his hand and pointed it at the fifth prince.
Bai Wanyi quickly reached out to pull Qin Wan, intending to use her as a hostage: "Don't move! Or I'll kill her!"
"Bang!"
A gunshot landed at Bai Wanyi's feet, and she was startled and stepped back.
Zhenzhen let go of the hounds, and the two hounds pounced on Bai Wanyi like lightning, pinning her to the ground.
Zhen Zhen quickly stepped forward to help Qin Wan up and untie her rope. She looked at the footprints on her legs, gently brushing away the dust, and cried distressedly: "I am late, and the Crown Princess was frightened."
Qin Wan shook her head repeatedly: "I'm fine, you ask him what happened to Wuguan!"
After saying this, she looked at Prince Yong again: "Uncle, is Wuguan really just short of food and fodder? What happened to my grandfather and father?"
Prince Yong, who had just been in the garden, had heard the Fifth Prince's words. He said, "The letter pleading for help simply stated a shortage of food. Your grandfather and father were leading the troops at Wuguan. If they didn't have a general, the letter wouldn't simply be asking for food and fodder. Don't worry."
Qin Wan breathed a sigh of relief, but then became worried: "It's been a while since the call for help. What if this happened after the letter for help?"
Prince Yong thought for a moment and said, "That's impossible. Marquis Xuanwu never fights a battle without preparation. If his army is short of food and fodder, he will remain stationary within the city, waiting for the enemy to attack. He will never set foot outside the city gates."
Qin Wan felt a little relieved.
As the two were talking, neither of them noticed the Fifth Prince.
He took advantage of the fact that no one noticed him and retreated quietly. He was only one step away from entering the small building. The fifth prince raised his hand cautiously, and just as his hand touched the door, he heard a bang and the ground under his feet exploded.
The fifth prince immediately put down his hand and stood still.
Prince Yong looked at the Fire Tun in his hand and exclaimed, "It's a magical weapon."
