Su Yiyun's group rode non-stop and arrived at the first town closest to Yanjing smoothly. Su Yiyun wanted to hurry up overnight and get to the northern border as quickly as possible, but now they were exhausted. In addition, they didn't bring much dry food with them, so they had to go to the town to replenish some.
Su Yiyun's ominous premonition did not weaken along the way, so when the two guards asked the inn waiter to pack the dry food, she still led the horse, holding the sword tightly in her hand.
Seeing this, a guard couldn't help but say: "Your Highness, you should take a rest, otherwise you may not be able to bear the night's journey."
Su Yiyun shook her head: "Take the dry food and hurry up!"
The guard didn't dare to say anything more, just urged the waiter to hurry up, the waiter smiled helplessly: "Sir, it's dinner time now, our kitchen can't handle it!"
"What nonsense, we want steamed buns, they are all steamed early, why do we need to waste time?"
The waiter smiled and said: "It's just that there are not enough people to pack the buns!"
The guard had no choice but to wait. Su Yiyun saw that they didn't come out for a long time, so she could only ask: "What happened?"
The guard quickly repeated the waiter's words.
Su Yiyun's face changed: "It's bad, hurry up!"
At this moment, the smiling waiter's face suddenly changed, and he removed the weapon of a guard with a lightning move, and then twisted his hands and pressed him to the ground. The two diners who were originally in the lobby of the inn also rushed out quickly and subdued the other guard.
As early as when the waiter made a move, Su Yiyun realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly ran back to the horse to ride away. Who knew that a crossbow arrow shot from somewhere directly killed the horse. Su Yiyun rolled on the ground, and when she got up again, she was surrounded by a circle of people.
"Sixth Prince, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Nie Zhishu walked out slowly. Although he was smiling, he could make everyone feel the heavy pressure coming from him.
When Su Yiyunge saw him, her heart sank. She didn't know where she had revealed her flaws for them to find out, but since Nie Zhishu had already come, she was afraid that King Rongzhen of Chu was not far away.
"What do you mean, General Nie?" Su Yiyunge stood up and pretended to be puzzled.
"Sixth Prince...or should I call you Sixth Princess?" Nie Zhishu sneered, "You killed Princess Dai'er, didn't you?"
Su Yiyun Ge said in a deep voice: "What are you talking about, General Nie! You are so rude, it is an insult to my Jie tribe by Daxia!"
Nie Zhishu said impatiently: "It's useless to say all this. I heard that your kung fu was taught by Su Yiwuya. I have never lost on the battlefield, and the only time was taught by Su Yiwuya. Now that he has taken over as the Great Khan, I am afraid we will never have the chance to fight again in this life. It's not a bad idea to fight with your disciple. If you beat me, I will let you go."
"I'm afraid General Nie can't make the decision on this."
"What about me?" The guards separated, and Rong Zhen rode in.
As soon as Su Yiyunge saw him, she knew that she had no chance of escaping, so she calmed down and said, "Your Highness the King of Chu came quickly."
"Don't worry, I won't kill you. I will send your body and your sister's body back to the imperial court."
At this moment, Su Yiyunge didn't want to hide anything anymore. She could refuse to admit it, but once her identity as a woman was exposed, it didn't matter whether she admitted to killing Dai'er. At least for Wuya, her value of use was gone. Maybe Wuya wouldn't kill her, but her final fate was no different from Dai'er's. As early as when Wuya asked Dai'er to come to Daxia with her, she had already clearly realized that even if he had been very kind to her, in the end he would just marry her off to a distant place in exchange for benefits. In this regard, Wuya's coldness was no different from their father.
Rong Zhen asked, "It might be your idea to kill Dai'er, but it was not easy for Wuya to let you come to Daxia in the first place. You are not so naive to think that I will marry your sister, right?"
Su Yiyunge raised her head and laughed, "Your Highness the King of Chu, why do you think I would tell you this?"
"I think you know that even if you return to the Northern Frontier, once the news that you are a woman is leaked, your fate will definitely not be what you want, but I can at least give you a choice that is not so embarrassing." Although Rong Zhen's tone was light, his words were inexplicably convincing.
"This condition is really tempting. I was almost tempted."
Almost means not. Rong Zhen was not disappointed. In fact, he had considered this possibility as early as when Lu Zheng revealed Su Yiyun's identity. Although he didn't know why Su Yiyun was so loyal to Wuya, it did not harm the overall situation.
Su Yiyun stood in front of him with a sword: "General Nie, please!"
Nie Zhishu cast his eyes on Rong Zhen, and after getting his approval, he slowly walked to the opposite side of Su Yiyun. In these steps, his aura changed little by little. When he arrived in front of Su Yiyun, his eyes were full of excitement and bloodthirstiness.
Nie Zhishu's weapon was a horse lance. He was tall and the horse lance he used was also specially made. This weapon was originally used for charging on horseback. It was unknown how many Jie people had lost their lives at the hands of Nie Zhishu. But now he used this extremely heavy weapon with ease, which was enough to show his ability.
Su Yiyun Ge used a curved knife, which was completely different from Nie Zhishu's light approach. Nie Zhishu held
the lance forward, and Su Yiyun Ge dodged it easily with a light tap. Then, she twisted her body strangely, and the sharp blade of the curved knife went along Nie Zhishu's neck, but was blocked by the end of the lance, and then a violent force rushed straight along the end of the lance. Su Yiyunge took advantage of the situation and leaped back, thus neutralizing the force. She even took advantage of the moment when Nie Zhishu was unable to retract his spear and once again lunged forward, with the blade pointed directly at Nie Zhishu's throat. Unexpectedly, Nie Zhishu did not dodge or evade, but instead stepped forward and blocked Su Yiyunge's killing move with the spear. Then he swept the spear horizontally, intending to cut Su Yiyunge in two. However, Su Yiyunge used the blade as a fulcrum, turned over and jumped up, and landed on the spear. Nie Zhishu shook it hard, and the hard spear seemed to be bent, while Su Yiyunge on it was as if walking on flat ground, approaching Nie Zhishu very quickly.
The two were evenly matched in this fight. Su Yiyun's body movements were exquisite and her swordsmanship was extraordinary, but Nie Zhishu used force to defeat her skill. The two fought back and forth and soon had fought for dozens of rounds.
Rong Zhen, who was standing aside, just watched calmly, and did not frown even when Nie Zhishu was at a disadvantage.
Although Su Yiyun was a woman, she had been practicing martial arts for many years and had practiced a method that suited her, so she was not inferior to Nie Zhishu, who was born with supernatural power. However, Nie Zhishu felt interested for a rare time. He had a great talent in martial arts, and in all his years in the Northern Frontier, only Wuya had made him taste the taste of failure. However, he did not feel bad, but was happy to have such an opponent. Who would have thought that the opponent would become the Great Khan after a disagreement? Unless the army of Daxia directly attacked the imperial court in the future, he would never lead troops to fight again. This made him feel uncomfortable, so even though he knew that Su Yiyunge was a woman, his hands were still itching. Rong Zhen did not stop him, so he cherished the opportunity for this duel very much.
Nie Zhishu did not hold back in any of his moves just because Su Yiyu'ge was a woman. Instead, the more they fought, the more excited he became. His horse lance was heavy and he attacked bravely, which might have made him invincible on the battlefield, but in this one-on-one fight, Su Yiyu'ge's lightness actually restrained him. However, he did not think that there was anything wrong with his way of practicing martial arts. Rong Zhen had said on his first day of training that there was no invincible kung fu in the world. No matter what kind of kung fu was practiced to the extreme, it would be the strongest.
Su Yiyun had already thought about her own ending when she rejected Rong Zhen's conditions. Her whole life was confined by gender. She didn't like practicing calligraphy or martial arts. She liked beautiful dresses and jewelry, but she couldn't have these things. Over the years, the most profound thing she learned was patience. Patience of pain, patience of unfairness, and patience of the fear of being exposed at every moment.
But now, these no longer have to happen, and she is relieved. In this battle with Nie Zhishu, she can finally put aside these distractions and fight him only as Su Yiyun.
Su Yiyun knew her own strengths and weaknesses, so she had been using the method of fighting to consume Nie Zhishu's physical strength. She was like the most astute hunter, patiently and skillfully waiting for the prey to struggle in the net, and then finding the right opportunity to kill it with one strike.
Soon, she found this opportunity, Su Yiyun's eyes lit up, and the curved knife was like a poisonous snake, flexibly sticking to the body of the spear, attacking Nie Zhishu from a tricky angle. However, just when she thought she had won, she suddenly saw the man grinning. She secretly said, "Oh no," but it was too late.
The heavy horse spear hit her waist, and the force directly broke her bones. Su Yiyun fell to the ground and spit out blood.
Nie Zhishu did not pursue the victory, but waited there with his lance. Su Yiyuge wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and slowly stood up. The pain of the broken bones did not disappear, and it became more obvious with her movements, but she did not care. Even if she did not want to admit it, that kind of endurance had seeped into her bones.
Nie Zhishu knew how powerful his lance was. Not to mention a woman, even a grown man would probably be lying on the ground unable to get up. So even though he knew he was an opponent, he still showed admiration to Su Yiyuge.
"It's great! Come again!"
Su Yiyuge was already injured and not as agile as before. She was soon hit by the lance again. However, after wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, she stood up again.
In the end, when she could no longer hold on, her clothes were stained with dust and blood, but she did not gain nothing.
Nie Zhishu's arms and cheeks were cut by the curved knife. Nie Zhishu wiped the blood from his cheeks and said very seriously: "Su Yiyun Ge, you are a respectable opponent!" Su Yiyun Ge
smiled lightly, and her eyes began to blur, as if she had returned to the time in the northern border.
She was jealous of Dai'er, jealous of her daily fun and enjoyment, jealous that she was once held in the palm of the hand by the emperor even though she was a plaything, but in the final analysis, she was just jealous of the other party's naivety, this kind of jealousy was heartbreaking, so when she knew that Dai'er had completed the task, she wanted to poison her.
The scene before Dai'er's death is still vivid in my mind. That stupid girl probably doesn't understand why her brother wants to kill her.
Su Yiyunge was thinking happily, but a sachet suddenly fell in front of her. She barely recognized that it was the sachet that Dai'er had been wearing. She looked at Rong Zhen, not understanding his intention.
The reason why Rong Zhen was late was because of this sachet. When he just left the carriage, he heard Lu Zheng say "wait", and Lu Zheng asked to take another look at Su Yida'er's body.
When Lu Zheng was trying to figure out Su Yiyunge's psychological characteristics, he had a bold guess. Maybe Su Yiyunge also has a dual personality. Her jealousy gave rise to another personality, and this personality is her sister, Su Yida'er.
Lu Zheng found the answer in Su Yida'er's sachet.
