Pei Changying stared at Gu Sang with a venomous gaze, and a sinister smile crossed his lips.
During this period, no matter how he contacted Gu Sang, it was useless!
He could only gamble that Gu Sang would definitely pay attention to the battle situation on the eldest princess' side.
So he led the army in person!
This good show must be opened by him personally!
Gu Sang was too lazy to talk to Pei Changying and said directly to the princess:
"Since Pei Changying has left the capital, if there is a chance today, let's keep his life in this South City!"
If the emperor were shot in public, the army would be in chaos, and all the civil and military officials in the court would be in a panic. The army would then be able to march straight into the capital without any obstacles.
They were too far away, so Pei Changying couldn't hear what Gu Sang and the princess were talking about, but if he thought about it, he knew what they were planning.
Pei Changying said hypocritically to Gu Sang in a deep and affectionate voice:
"Sangsang, you are so cruel! You actually wanted to collude with the rebels and kill your man."
"However, even though you are so cruel, I cannot ignore our old friendship."
"Last time I promised to help you find—"
“Whoosh!”
A sharp arrow pierced through the wind and shot directly towards Pei Changying's forehead, interrupting Pei Changying's disgusting words.
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
The general stepped forward with a knife and blocked the sharp arrow that was aimed at Pei Changying.
Pei Changying's expression instantly turned gloomy, and he couldn't even pretend to be affectionate anymore.
He gnashed his teeth and said angrily, "Gu Sang, since you are so ruthless, then don't blame me for being ruthless to you!"
"Gu Sang, open your eyes and look, who is this!"
Pei Changying took a step back, and this distance allowed the surrounding soldiers to quickly help him block the arrows.
Two soldiers were escorting a kind-faced old lady to stand on the city wall. A cloth was stuffed in the old lady's mouth, making her unable to make any sound. She could only look down and shake her head.
It seemed like he was telling the people below not to bother with her.
"Gu Sang, if you have the guts, just shoot her!"
Pei Changying shouted at Gu Sang.
When they saw the people standing on the city wall, Gu Sang and the eldest princess were both stunned and panicked! The former was stunned, and the latter was panicked!
That's grandma?!
"Sangsang, is that your grandmother on the city wall?" Even the calm and composed princess could not sit still and could not help asking.
Gu Sang didn't dare to speak. After all, they were too far away. She could only see from afar that they looked similar.
But if you want to find someone to impersonate, it's not impossible!
Such a long distance made it impossible for Gu Sang to tell whether this was her grandmother. She was not worried at all. With the reminders from Gu Qingrou and Li Bin, she was very sure that Pei Changying would play tricks!
But what is the result?
That damn system actually said that grandma might be resurrected in ancient times!
just in case......
Moreover, Pei Changying tied up his grandmother's mouth, making it impossible for Gu Sang to verify.
"Gu Sang, Pei Weiqi, why don't you shoot him?"
"Continue to attack the city!"
"Come on! I'm waiting for you to attack the city!"
Seeing that Gu Sang and the eldest princess had been intimidated by the person he had found to impersonate them, Pei Changying suddenly became arrogant and kept provoking the two with words.
He looked at Gu Sang affectionately and said, "Gu Sang, I am truly heartbroken. I have searched the entire world for your grandmother, yet you have joined forces with the rebels to kill me."
"Even though you are so cruel to me, I still love you."
"I will still forgive what you did. As long as you admit your mistakes to me now and come back to me, I will not blame you."
"You are still my concubine!"
Gu Sang looked at Pei Changying expressionlessly, murderous intent boiling in her heart. If she had a gun in her hand, she really wanted to shoot this idiot on the spot!
At this critical moment, if Gu Sang really rebelled, what would the soldiers behind the eldest princess think?
The warhorse under the eldest princess neighed and stared at Pei Changying with murderous intent.
This disgusting idiot, seeing that they didn't dare to act rashly, actually tried to separate the two and shake the morale of the army.
The eldest princess pursed her lips tightly, finally raised her hand, and was about to ask for the troops to retreat.
Gu Sang said with a cold look in his eyes: "Wei Qi, we cannot retreat!"
At this moment, no matter which choice Gu Sang makes, it will be risky. She cannot guarantee 100% that this old woman is not her grandmother.
She could only trust her intuition.
Use your intuition to gamble that this grandma is not your grandma!
I bet this was someone Pei Changying hired to impersonate me!
According to the system's prompts, it shouldn't have been long since grandma was resurrected, so Pei Changying certainly won't be able to find her that quickly... I hope so!
"Wei Qi, the three armies are ready to go. Once we capture Nancheng, the entire Central Plains will be within our grasp."
"If we withdraw now, the morale of the soldiers will be affected."
"When fighting a war, either don't fight at all, or fight it with all your might. Don't give up halfway."
Gu Sang was determined not to back down or give in.
The eldest princess couldn't bear it and said, "Sangsang, but that's your grandmother!"
"It doesn't matter if we quit today, we'll always have another time!"
"You've helped me so much, I can't ignore your feelings. I won this battle, but if that person is your grandma, you'll lose your grandma."
"If I'm such a selfish person, then I don't deserve to be the empress!"
"I can be cruel to others, but I can't be heartless to you! We will retreat this time. I will find a chance to test whether this old man is real or not. Don't worry, this land will be ours sooner or later!"
Gu Sang looked at the eldest princess' serious and undeniable eyes, and his heart was touched.
But Gu Sang was unwilling to retreat like this.
Before she could say anything, the princess turned around and said to the army in a firm voice: "Everyone, retreat!"
If you retreat, you will indeed lose the opportunity that you have worked so hard to get.
But if the princess really listened to Gu Sang and attacked, she would lose her most precious promise. Everyone in Plague City knew how much Gu Sang had helped her.
Regardless of whether that grandma was real or fake, she put profit first when they first met, so in the soldiers' minds, she became a selfish person like Pei Changying!
So retreating doesn’t mean you really lose!
Instead, the princess should maintain her integrity first. After all, some things can be threatened once, but can they be threatened twice?
Pei Changying, who was on the city wall, saw the army begin to retreat. He couldn't help but curl his lips and said affectionately, "Sangsang, I knew you were a person who valued friendship and loyalty. I will wait for you to come back."
"My position as the imperial concubine will always be vacant for you."
Gu Sang had a cold expression on his face and closed the connection directly.
The eldest princess led the army back to the place where they had camped last night. Zhou Qichen, General Qin and others first stabilized the three places, and then came to the tent to discuss countermeasures with the eldest princess.
Zhou Qichen's face flushed with anger: "How can this damn emperor be so shameless? He relied on Sangsang to get to the throne."
"Now he's relying on Grandma Gu Sang to threaten him. He's really lost all his dignity as a man. He can only hide behind women and disgust people for the rest of his life."
