Chapter 187: Remember?
"You..." Jiang Lan stared blankly at the pair of extremely familiar peach blossom eyes. It took her a long while to come back to her senses. "You remember everything?"
Qi Wuhan gently stroked her face, eyes full of pity, "I've wronged you these days." Before his tender words had even begun, Jiang Lan anxiously interrupted him. She couldn't wait to ask, "When did you remember this?"
"Ah..." He avoided my gaze, looking a little guilty, and cleverly changed the subject, "You're pregnant now, so you need to rest more."
"Don't interrupt, let's get down to business." Jiang Lan crossed her arms and stared at him seriously. "Tell me! When did you remember this?"
Qi Wuhan lowered his eyes sadly, his tone becoming a little deeper. "After you left, I found the things you hid on the bookshelf. After reading them, I slowly remembered some of them. If I had remembered them earlier, I wouldn't have let you suffer so much and endure so much injustice. It's all my fault..."
Seeing his self-blaming and guilty look, Jiang Lan's expression softened from seriousness. She no longer folded her arms across her chest, as if letting down her guard. She consoled him, "It's not your fault, actually." Before she could finish her words, he embraced her in his arms. He used a flattering and cautious tone to show his weakness, "Then Xiaolan'er won't be angry with me again, right?"
Why does she feel like she's been cheated...
When he let her go, Jiang Lan turned around and said to him with the back of her head, "Your father doesn't like me. I can't be your Crown Princess. You should find someone else." After saying that, she moved away.
Qi Wuhan moved over and when she was about to move away, he reached out and held her in his arms, saying in a gentle but serious tone, "It's enough that I like you. You are the wife I married in a formal ceremony. As long as I am here, no one can hurt you in the slightest. No one can." His eyes were firm, and deep in his pupils burned with the determination to protect her at all costs.
Jiang Lan tilted her face to the side, the corners of her eyes slightly red. After blinking twice, she turned her head to look at him and asked, "Is this battle really necessary?"
Qi Wuhan raised his hand and gently wiped the slightly red corners of her eyes, and said softly, "Don't worry, the Black Armor Army is my father's hard work, I won't let them lose their lives in vain."
Hearing him mention "my father", Jiang Lan's heart moved, and a trace of confusion and bewilderment passed across her face. He stroked her cheek gently, his voice gentle but firm, "My last name is Qi, not Mu." Jiang Lan smiled knowingly and nodded, "Then I am also the daughter-in-law of the Qi family, your wife."
"Your Highness, I have something important to report."
At this time, Ye Xuanhe's voice came from outside.
"Enter."
When Ye Xuanhe lifted the curtain, a black shadow flew in and went straight towards Qi Wuhan. Jiang Lan was startled and worriedly grabbed the dress around her knees. Ye Xuanhe glanced at her and a casual smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
Qi Wuhan raised his hand, and the black shadow landed steadily on his arm. It was a black eagle.
Jiang Lan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the black eagle was not flying in to attack him. She turned her gaze and caught a glimpse of a pair of amber pupils with a somewhat intriguing look. She looked away as if nothing had happened, pretending she saw nothing.
Qi Wuhan took out the small golden mailbox, opened it and poured out the note inside. He opened it and took a look, then frowned slightly.
"What happened?" Ye Xuanhe asked.
Qi Wuhan said indifferently: "My father ordered me to take Dingcheng within three days." As he spoke, his eyes swept towards Jiang Lan, and their eyes met for a moment, then they looked away.
Ye Xuanhe held his chin in his hand and thought for a moment before saying, "I've fought the Black Armor Army many times before. If Your Highness were to force an attack on the city, they would defend it to the bitter end, and ultimately, both sides would be destroyed." At this point, he curled his lips and said, "I have an idea. If Huo Chen still recognizes Your Highness as his sworn brother, perhaps Your Highness could convince him to lead the Black Armor Army to abandon the dark side and join the light side. Then, we could capture Dingcheng without losing a single soldier."
"Shameless." Jiang Lan muttered.
Ye Xuanhe turned to look at her, narrowing his amber eyes slightly, "What did you just say?"
Jiang Lan realized that she had accidentally said what was in her heart. She felt a little embarrassed and immediately denied it, "Nothing."
"I," Qi Wuhan had just opened his mouth when Ye Xuanhe said, "I almost forgot that Your Highness had said before that he would defeat him squarely on the battlefield, making him admit defeat with conviction. Then I will send someone to deliver the declaration of war."
As soon as he finished speaking, Canglang hurried in and reported to Ye Xuanhe.
Ye Xuanhe curled his lips and said, "It seems that there is no need for me to deliver the declaration of war." ...
When he saw the black-armored cavalry appear, Huo Chen's cold eyes were instantly filled with sharpness and murderous intent, and the warhorse he was riding became a little restless, unable to suppress his boiling blood and desire to fight.
After the black-armored cavalry stopped, they immediately made way for each other. Qi Wuhan came out on his warhorse, and the black eagle mask on his face reflected a cold and bright light in the sunlight.
Huo Chen also rode forward on his warhorse, and confronted Qi Wuhan in front of the formation.
"I said I would defeat you squarely on the battlefield, making sure you accept defeat with all your heart."
"Then it depends on whether you have the ability."
The two men drew their swords almost at the same time and rushed forward on horseback.
The two men fought in front of the battlefield, and after more than ten rounds, there was no winner.
"Master, if His Highness loses, should we still fight?" Lu Feng asked in a low voice.
Ye Xuanhe curled his lips and said, "With your Highness's skills, you won't lose, unless you don't want to win."
As soon as the words fell, the two men swung their swords at each other's necks, and the winner was decided.
He dodged Huo Chen's sword, and Qi Wuhan's sword hit his neck, stopping about an inch away from his neck.
"You lose."
As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow aimed at Qi Wuhan's chest was shot, but was blocked by Huo Chen with his sword, and Qi Wuhan also put away his sword neatly.
"Why save the orphan?"
The peach blossom eyes behind the mask stared at Huo Chen's cold eyes.
"Taking advantage of someone's misfortune is not what the Black Armored Soldiers do." As he spoke, his cold gaze quickly locked onto the Black Armored Soldiers who pulled the trigger of the crossbow. The man was locked in his gaze and tried to run away on his horse. He gave an order and the two Black Armored Soldiers on the left and right immediately captured the man.
Huo Chen came over, stared at the face for a few seconds, and said, "You are not a Black Armored Soldier." The next moment, he swung his sword at the man's neck, his eyes as cold as a knife. "Tell me, who ordered you to pretend to be a Black Armored Soldier?"
The other party replied tremblingly, "Yes... yes... yes, Third Prince... let me find an opportunity to get rid of the Northern Desert Crown Prince."
Huo Chen's expression darkened and he struck his throat with a sword.
"No one is allowed to mention this matter again."
"yes!"
The other party fell to the ground, holding his neck, and was immediately carried away by two black-armored soldiers.
"Return to the city." Huo Chen ordered to return to the city.
"Give a message to your third prince on my behalf. I want to have a good talk with him." Qi Wuhan said.
Huo Chen turned his gaze to the side and returned to the city with the black-armored army.
"Leaving now?" Lu Feng looked puzzled, "Why don't you fight anymore?"
When Qi Wuhan came back, Lu Feng said with some dissatisfaction, "Your Highness had such a good opportunity just now, why didn't you take action and let the person go?"
"After all, they are good brothers who have fought side by side. How could Your Highness have the heart to kill them?" Ye Xuanhe said.
Qi Wuhan glanced at him and gave an order, and the black-armored cavalry quickly followed.
"Don't ruin His Highness's plans in front of him in the future." Ye Xuanhe warned.
Lu Feng muttered, "Master, you are not either."
Glancing at the pair of amber eyes, Lu Feng immediately shut up and rode his horse to follow.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves coming from afar, Jiang Lan immediately walked out of the tent and looked in the direction of the sound. When she saw Qi Wuhan, she felt relieved.
When he came back, she ran over quickly and touched him all over, asking him if he was hurt. Seeing Ye Xuanhe coming over, she immediately withdrew her hand and lowered her head to look at the stones on the ground.
"Your Highness, could you please excuse me for a moment?"
Jiang Lan turned around and went back into the tent.
"What's the matter?" Qi Wuhan asked indifferently.
Ye Xuanhe asked, "Your Highness said he wanted to have a good talk with the Third Prince. Is he planning to negotiate?"
"Is there anything else?" Qi Wuhan asked.
"His Majesty asked Your Highness to capture Dingcheng within three days. What are Your Highness's plans?" Ye Xuanhe said.
"I will give an explanation to my father myself." Qi Wuhan said.
Ye Xuanhe took his leave first.
