097
This leap forward by Song Jin was beyond everyone's expectations.
Xu Nanheng's eyes immediately turned red with anger, and he was about to rush forward, but was stopped by the deputy general beside him.
"Your Highness, you can't do that! Suppressing the rebels is the most important thing!"
The peony flower skirt fluttered like being hit by a rainstorm, so decisive and firm.
Xu Nanheng closed his eyes in grief, unable to bear to see her fall to the ground.
There was already chaos on the city wall.
Li Muyi led his men to ambush, and while they were all shocked by Song Jin's jumping off the city wall, he rushed out and slashed the guard's neck with a knife.
It was at this time that he was discovered by Chen Zhao's men.
"Brothers, charge!"
A fight is about to break out.
Chen Zhao heard the noise behind him, looked over hastily, and was immediately shocked. He panicked and ordered his men to stop them.
Yang Chaoxue was also surprised by Song Jin's jumping off the building.
Only if Song Jin dies, Xu Nanheng will stop thinking about her!
Song Jin is also a fool. He actually jumped off the building by himself. She thought Song Jin could be so smart.
Suddenly, I heard the clinking of swords.
Yang Chaoxue came back to his senses abruptly, warm blood splashed on his cheeks, and his smile froze in an instant.
It’s...blood!
"ah!"
The man who controlled him was killed.
Yang Chaoxue was still in shock and didn't even bother to look at Song Jin's tragically dead body, and fled in a panic.
My wrists were still tied.
Her life was at stake, so she couldn't care less.
The person who rushed up this time was obviously not Xu Nanheng's man.
But Li Muyi didn't care about her at all.
Just run away.
The grudge between Song Jin and her should be resolved by Song Jin himself.
After all, we are in Qingzhou City, where else can we run to?
The people under the city thought Song Jin would die if she jumped over the wall, but suddenly a man rushed out from nowhere and caught her.
Xu Nanheng heard the deputy general's exclamation.
When he looked up, he saw Song Jin was in someone's arms, safe and sound.
And that person... was actually Cui Huaiji!
"Cui Huaiji? Why is he in Qingzhou?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a shout suddenly erupted from the army behind him.
"Soldiers of the Yu Dynasty, the rebels are in chaos. Follow Qu Linghou and rush in to destroy the rebels!"
This voice... is Yu Dingnan!
Xu Nanheng was confused. How could they be in Qingzhou? !
When the soldiers behind him heard that it was Marquis Quling, they were excited and shouted loudly, following Yu Dingnan to rush out.
The titles of Marquis Quling and General Yu are not as useful as those of the Seventh Prince.
The deputy general was also extremely excited.
"I've always heard that Qu Linghou and General Yu can fight against a hundred enemies at once on the battlefield. Today, I can actually fight with them!"
Xu Nanheng's face immediately turned dark: "I haven't given the order yet..."
Any hesitation on the part of the deputy general would be disrespectful to them.
"Your Highness, with the two of them guarding the area, Your Highness can rest assured to stay at the rear. I will follow the Marquis and the young general to fight!"
"stop--"
There was no way Xu Nanheng could stop him.
Among the soldiers, all the officers and soldiers admired the heroic demeanor of Dingguo and his daughter.
I am so lucky to be able to fight alongside them in this life!
At the city gate, Li Muyi had already gained the upper hand, and the Qingzhou guards opened the city gate to welcome them into the city.
The two armies met, and one won a crushing victory.
In less than an hour, the rebels were suppressed.
Chen Zhao couldn't believe that his men were captured like this.
He looked at Li Muyi, who didn't fit in with the crowd, and shouted angrily: "Who are you? You are not from Yuchao!"
When did Yu Dynasty get help from other countries?
Yang Chaoxue didn't even report this matter to the adults!
Li Muyi raised his eyebrows: "You mean this prince? It's okay to tell you, of course it's the prince of Beidi. What I hate most in my life is you thieves!"
It was such a fast kick that Yu Dingnan couldn't stop it even if he wanted to.
"What are you doing?" Yu Dingnan yelled angrily, "If you don't hold back your kick and kill him, I will hold you accountable!"
Being suddenly scolded, Li Muyi was visibly stunned.
He was the prince of Beidi, and he was the only one who had the right to scold others.
"Who are you? Tell me your name!"
"I will never change my name or surname. I am the daughter of General Dingguo, Yu Dingnan."
hiss!
She turned out to be the daughter of General Dingguo.
Li Muyi had heard of General Dingguo's reputation, and his daughter must be no ordinary person.
Thinking of this, my arrogance instantly diminished.

On the other side, Yang Chaoxue untied the restraints and hid in the dark to secretly observe them.
Seeing Xu Nanheng leaving with a sullen face, she immediately picked up her skirt and chased after him.
"Brother Nanheng!"
The young lady in front of me was covered in dust and had tears in her eyes, and she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Xu Nanheng had a sullen face and said nothing.
Yang Chaoxue waved his hands around and explained: "Brother Nanheng, believe me, I really didn't know that Chen Zhao would bite back at this juncture... It must be that Song Jin! She didn't stop even after she died. She must have said something in Chen Zhao's ear..."
"Enough!" Xu Nanheng finally couldn't help but explode, "Now that things have come to this, you still want to blame everything on Jinjin? I shouldn't have asked you to talk to them in the first place. It was you who said you were sure you could convince them. If you were really sure, wouldn't they regret it?"
"You planned that choice between the two, right? It was to force me to shoot Jin Jin with my own hands!"
Today, Xu Nanheng finally understands everything.
Yang Chaoxue never wanted Song Jin to leave Qingzhou alive from the beginning!
He couldn't even understand why Yang Chaoxue hated Song Jin so much, as the two of them clearly had no grudge against each other.
Xu Nanheng lowered his eyes and looked at the person who was crying silently.
Since when did she become a stranger?
Thinking back to the past, Xu Nanheng softened his tone for no reason, "Chao Xue, you don't have to worry about Jin Jin. She can't take anything away from you."
"You're talking nonsense!" Yang Chaoxue cried silently.
Perhaps out of concern for the attention of the crowd, Xu Nanheng withdrew his people from the moment she appeared.
Does he think her presence will disrupt his plans?
What if the person standing in front of him now is Song Jin?
Yang Chaoxue wiped away her tears fiercely: "Brother Nanheng, you said that I am the most important person in your heart. I did everything for you so that you would no longer be a coward, so that you could learn to be cunning, and so that you could win over the court officials. Everything I did was for you."
"Because I know that my brother Nan Heng will always stand by my side, so I don't care even if no one in Sheng'an is on good terms with me. But Song Jin appeared, she took away my position, and you began to care about her and scold me for her."
She saw all of this.
The moment Song Jin jumped off the city wall, she saw with her own eyes Xu Nanheng trying to rush over on horseback, if he hadn't been stopped by the deputy general beside him!
Yang Chaoxue's eyes turned red, and she took his hand and placed it on her belly.
There, a life was once nurtured.
It is a proof of their love.
"Brother Nanheng, have you forgotten that there was once a child here? But because of you, I killed it with my own hands."
Yang Chaoxue slowly raised the corners of her mouth, her expression softened, and she exuded a maternal glow.
When she became a mother for the first time, she was ecstatic and couldn't wait to share it with him.
But reality gave her a blow.
This child is destined not to be born.
Xu Nanheng pulled his hand away abruptly, as if he was electrocuted by something.
He quickly glanced around and dragged her to the corner.
"You're crazy!" He scolded her harshly for the first time, "You're saying this at this time, are you trying to drag me down with you?!"
He paused, realizing that his tone was too harsh, and acted helpless.
Reach out and hug her.
"Chao Xue, what we lost, I will get back from them one day. We can't indulge in love before the great cause is accomplished. I promise you, the throne will always be yours."
What about love?
Yang Chaoxue looked bitter.
This is a disguised admission that you have fallen in love with someone else.
Does she want the queen position?
What she wanted was for her and Xu Nanheng to be in love with each other, to be an emperor and a queen, and to rule the world together.
A throne without love is like a beast in a cage.
She couldn't just watch the person she loved fall in love with someone else!
"Okay." In a place he couldn't see, Yang Chaoxue's smile gradually became crazier, and murderous intent filled her eyes. "I will help Brother Nanheng ascend to the throne."
Nor will I... let you get Song Jin as you wish!
*
Song Jin took the initiative to jump off the city wall. Although she was caught by Cui Huaiji and was not injured, Li Muyi still asked her to recuperate in the Song Mansion for a day before making plans.
Song Qin also seconded the proposal.
She didn't say anything about the injuries she had suffered in prison, but everyone could see it.
Qing Wu carefully took off her coat and saw her snow-white back covered with whip marks. She felt so distressed that she burst into tears.
"My dear, it's all my fault that I didn't protect you well. You must be in so much pain after getting so many injuries!"
Song Jin smiled and comforted her: "It's okay, I'm fine now, Qingwu, please apply the medicine quickly, otherwise your wife will really pass out from the pain."
Qingwu burst into laughter and took the medicine bottle and applied it gently.
"My lady is still interested in teasing me. It seems that it really doesn't hurt."
The moment the powder comes into contact with the wound.
Song Jin gasped in pain and almost passed out from the pain.
Qing Wu was both crying and laughing.
After treating the wound, Song Jin wanted to return to Sheng'an as soon as possible.
"Jinjin, your injury hasn't healed yet, or..."
"Father," Song Jin said, "Although Qingzhou has been saved for now, the Su Li Wang faction is still there. They will always find a chance to strike again."
Song Tan was silent for a moment and nodded helplessly.
It was considered as her promise to set off immediately.
Cui Huaiji and Li Muyi repeatedly assured him in front of him that they would never protect Song Jin.
When the news of the great victory in Qingzhou reached Sheng'an, some were happy while others were sad.
The victory report stated that Marquis Quling and General Yu led the army to suppress the rebels. There was no mention of Xu Nanheng, but every sentence revealed his inaction.
When they hurried back to Sheng'an, they heard the news that the prince had woken up.
After waking up, Xu Guanlin learned of Sheng An's current situation. Regardless of his own frail body, he argued with a group of important officials and snatched back the power of Xu Nanheng to govern on his behalf.
As soon as Xu Nanheng came back, not only did his plan fail, but his hard-earned power was also taken away.
I'm afraid he'll vent his anger in the prince's mansion.
When Song Jin learned the news, he was lying on the bed in the marquis's mansion.
Cui Huaiji did not allow her to move and ordered Meng Shu to keep an eye on her.
Meng Shu originally only listened to her, but now that she was injured, he naturally listened to Cui Huaiji and asked her to take good care of herself.
Song Jin: “…”
Forget it. Meng Shu is not hers no matter how you look at it.
The summer heat in Sheng'an came late, and it is still slightly cool now.
Song Jin ate the fruit peacefully while watching the maid cleaning the yard.
Listen to their conversation from time to time.
But I was caught off guard and heard them talking about Zhaiyue Tower.
"Why did His Majesty the Seventh Prince suddenly bring people to surround the Moon Picking Tower?"
"The Moon-Picking Tower is backed by the royal family, how dare he touch it?"
