Min Qiu didn't see him take action for a long time, so he opened his eyes, met his complicated expression, and sighed.
"Have you forgotten what I taught you? No matter who it is, as long as they stand on the opposite side, they must be ruthless."
"Master also taught me that just because I hold a sharp blade, I shouldn't harm innocent people."
"Yes," Min Qiu laughed at himself, "Now I am no longer worthy of being your master."
As he spoke, he picked up the tip of Li Yunhe's sword and stabbed it into his heart.
Li Yunhe didn't expect him to do this. When he reacted, the sword had already pierced Min Qiu's heart and came out from his back.
“Master!”
He let go of the sword and supported Min Qiu who was about to fall.
Min Qiu looked at his anxious look and smiled.
"Yunhe, I know you can't do it. You're right. I hurt innocent people and deceived Qian Zhong into helping me refine the special weapon. I deserve to die."
Qian Zhong was stunned. He hadn't even taken revenge on Min Qiu for deceiving him yet, so why did this guy commit suicide?
He walked forward and glared at Min Qiu, "You still have the nerve to say that."
Min Qiu raised his eyelids and looked at him, "Now that things have come to this, you can do whatever you want to me."
"Why are you helping Lou Qing?"
Qian Zhong squatted down and grabbed his hand, "Hurry up and tell me, or you'll be buried with this secret."
"I know you're all curious."
Min Qiu's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and his voice gradually became smaller.
"Lou Qing is my son," he said with a hint of sadness, "If you suddenly knew you had a son and he asked you for something, could you refuse?"
Seeing that Qian Zhong didn't answer, Min Qiu paused and continued, "People like us who have no children, the more we want to enjoy the joy of family. I didn't feel that way when Yun He was around, but after Yun He left, I realized that I didn't even have anyone to talk to."
When he learned that Lou Qing was the child he had sex with a maid from Loulan Kingdom when he was drunk in his youth, he felt so happy.
Yunhe is a child of the Li family, so naturally he has to return to his parents. He can't stop Yunhe from returning to the Li family, that would be too overbearing.
"I can also take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life. I also said I would take you to live in the capital."
Li Yunhe's eyes became sore as he looked at Min Qiu, whose breath was getting weaker and weaker.
In fact, he understood that Min Qiu had been lonely for too long and wanted to have a home of his own.
"What does that look like?"
Min Qiu squeezed Li Yunhe's hand and said, "I went astray myself, Yunhe. I don't blame you for killing Lou Qing."
After saying this, Min Qiu closed his eyes and died in Li Yunhe's arms.
When the few people who came with Min Qiu saw that their master was dead, they turned around and wanted to leave in the chaos.
"Come on, take them down."
Before the soldiers could capture the two men, a rough voice sounded from not far away.
"Wait."
As the voice fell, two big men appeared holding Shi Ran hostage.
The sharp tip of the knife was against Shi Ran's fair neck. Shi Ran's pretty face was calm as she let the two men push her forward.
"Release these four people, prepare six horses for us, and let us leave the city. Otherwise, your Crown Princess will be in danger of death today."
When they learned that Min Qiu was rushing to the palace, they knew something was wrong, so they deliberately kidnapped Shi Ran, the future crown princess, and used her to threaten him to leave the city.
Shi Ran laughed at this time.
"why are you laughing?"
The man holding her hostage glared at her fiercely and said, "Shut up if you don't want to die."
Because he was so emotional, the sharp blade left a striking scratch on Shi Ran's neck.
Shi Ran frowned and said calmly.
"I'm not married to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so I'm not the Crown Princess. Even if we were married, it would be useless for you to kill me. There are thousands of Crown Princesses, so why bother holding me hostage?"
When the prince saw Shi Ran being held hostage, he left without a trace.
"Put down your weapons and prepare..."
Before he could finish his last word, he was hit in the neck by an arrow and fell to the ground with his eyes wide open.
Everyone looked in the direction where the arrow came from and saw the prince standing on the city wall in a moon-white brocade robe, holding a bow in his hand.
He was the one who shot the arrow just now.
[Damn it, I didn't even notice when the Crown Prince climbed onto the city wall.]
When the other man saw his companion fall, he wanted to go forward and hold Shi Ran hostage.
Before he could step forward, Shi Ran quickly picked up the knife on the ground and stabbed it into his chest without hesitation.
The prince, who wanted to shoot an arrow, curved his lips into a smile, handed the bow and arrow to the guard beside him, and used his lightness skills to jump down from the top of the city wall and landed next to Shi Ran.
"Are you okay?"
Shi Ran bowed and saluted before saying, "It's okay. Thank you, Your Highness."
There was a barely perceptible tremor in her voice.
The prince chuckled and took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, "Wipe the blood off your face."
"Thank you, Your Highness," Shi Ran did not take the handkerchief, but raised her sleeve to wipe off the blood that splashed on her face when the arrow shot into the neck of the man holding her hostage.
The prince took back his handkerchief with a calm expression and ordered someone to send Shi Ran back home first.
Lord Shi was relieved to see that his granddaughter was fine.
The farce at the palace gate ended when several people were arrested.
Morning next day.
Jin Ting'an reported the current situation, and the emperor publicly praised Jin Ting'an and the people who went to the border.
The border situation was stabilized because of this battle, and the soldiers were able to return to Beijing to visit their families.
In order to thank Tianqi for helping them rescue the innocent people who were threatened and became vagrants on the border, Qiang and Li countries specially sent letters to Tianqi, intending to go to Tianqi to express their gratitude in person and discuss the alliance.
The emperor had already planned this. After dealing with the two traitors, Prince Duan and Yuan Can, he set the date for signing the alliance in November.
…
November 2nd.
The monarchs of the three kingdoms gathered together and signed a new alliance.
The emperor opened up trade routes with the two countries, which made the envoys from the other two countries happy.
Yu Yiluo sat in Empress Xian's arms, looking at the happy scene, and couldn't help feeling emotional.
[How wonderful! Daddy didn't become a tyrant. My brothers and sisters, my uncle and mother are all living well. The Three Kingdoms are at peace, the country is prosperous, and the people are safe. My family is healthy and harmonious.]
【I can finally take a break from now on. 】
Everyone who heard the inner voice couldn't help but feel a lump in their throat.
The Emperor stood up, holding the wine cup and raised it, "Today I drink this cup with you all, wishing the Three Kingdoms prosperity and peace for the people."
Everyone stood up and raised the wine in front of them, "I wish the Three Kingdoms prosperity and peace to the people."
Yu Yiluo glanced at every smiling face below, and as if infected, she also smiled.
Whether it is Yu Yiluo who thinks she is a book traveler, the goddess of resurrection who has lost her memory, or the little princess of Tianqi.
The scenes before her eyes were the future she envisioned!
