When Zhao Yu brought Qin Peng back, the banquet had already started.
The dancers were dancing in the account, and the King of Xiliang was hugging a dancer and flirting with her. Except for Qin Shuhuai and Wei Yan, all the other generals and advisers who came in were relaxed, and everyone was laughing and talking, and it was very lively.
Qin Shuhuai was sitting in his seat, not saying a word, and Jiang Chun had long since disappeared. After Zhao Yu came in, he first looked in the direction of Qin Shuhuai. Seeing Qin Shuhuai drinking alone in silence, he did not do much. The King of Xiliang came over and said to Qin Peng gently: "Princess..."
"That's fine."
Qin Peng waved his hands: "Bei Di, please do as you please."
After saying that, she walked towards Qin Shuhuai.
There was a hint of helplessness in Zhao Yu's smile. The King of Xiliang, who was holding the dancer, saw this and squinted his eyes and said, "The Northern Emperor has good taste. The eldest princess of Qi is indeed a beauty."
"More than a beauty," Zhao Yu brought the wine from the side and said with a smile, "She is also a beauty."
A beauty can be looked at and desecrated, but a beautiful woman needs to be respected. After hearing this, the King of Xiliang immediately understood that Zhao Yu was warning him.
He knew this young man well. He always smiled when he spoke, even when he was killing people.
He did not dare to neglect it and nodded quickly, "Yes, yes. Speaking of which, I have to thank Beidi this time. The salt problem has finally been solved..."
"Yeah." Zhao Yu nodded, obviously not wanting to talk anymore.
As they were talking, a group of dancers in red entered the stage. They all had wide sleeves, and when they waved their sleeves, they brought with them a strong fragrance. The King of Xiliang was excited and clapped his hands, saying, "Great! This girl is so beautiful that she has won my heart."
Zhao Yu noticed something was wrong, frowned and looked at Qin Shuhuai.
Qin Peng was sitting next to Qin Shuhuai, holding the wine, and sipped it with a smile: "You and A Yu had a good talk, right?"
“It’s OK.”
Qin Shuhuai nodded, looked up at her, and was about to say something when Qin Peng felt a little dizzy.
She widened her eyes and immediately said, "Qin..."
Before she could finish her words, everything went dark before her eyes and she passed out.
As soon as Qin Peng fell, Zhao Yu immediately called for help: "Someone come!"
However, Qin Shuhuai moved faster. The moment Zhao Yu called for help, he rushed towards him and grabbed Zhao Yu's neck. Zhao Yu raised his hands to stop him, but felt weak.
People around fell down in twos and threes, and soldiers rushed in. Qin Shuhuai grabbed Zhao Yu and said calmly: "Tell them to retreat!"
Zhao Yu slowed down. He carried a detoxifying sachet with him. After a moment, he slowed down. However, Qin Shuhuai had already completely controlled him. He forced himself to stand and said in a cold voice: "No one is allowed to retreat!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold male voice came from the tent: "Qin Shuhuai, release His Majesty for me!"
Qin Shuhuai and Zhao Yu turned around and saw Bai Huai holding the unconscious Qin Peng and staring at them closely.
Qin Shuhuai stared at Bai Huai. He felt a little confused, but he couldn't show it at this moment.
There was a sound of fighting outside. Zhao Yu saw Bai Huai holding Qin Peng hostage, and his face immediately changed: "Who told you to touch her? Let her go!"
"Your Majesty," Bai Huai pursed his lips, his expression firm, "Your Majesty is in danger now, I'm sorry I can't obey your order."
"Bai Huai!"
Zhao Yu raised his voice. He had always known that this guard was loyal, but he had never expected him to be loyal in such a way.
He was angry and anxious, looking at Bai Huai, and was suddenly at a loss for what to do.
Qin Shuhuai held Zhao Yu and walked out, saying coldly, "Everyone, get out of the way."
"No one is allowed to retreat!"
Zhao Yu turned around to look at him and sneered: "Qin Shuhuai, you can kill me today. I want to see if my sister will let you go if you really hit me."
"You're just relying on her achievements?"
Qin Shuhuai's knife was close to Zhao Yu's neck. Zhao Yu showed no fear at all and said calmly, "It doesn't matter if I succeed or not. What matters is whether it works or not."
The two sides were in a stalemate. At this moment, the sound of fighting outside was getting closer. Zhao Yu noticed something was wrong and immediately said to Bai Huai, "Take Qin Peng and leave first!"
Bai Huai didn't say anything. He held Qin Peng and stared at Qin Shuhuai with a frown. Qin Shuhuai listened to the voice outside and said calmly, "Give me the princess."
"Give me His Majesty first."
Bai Huai's eyes were full of suspicion. Zhao Yu opened his fan silently under his sleeve. Qin Shuhuai pressed the knife to his neck and said, "I'll count to one, two, three. We'll release them at the same time. One..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Yu suddenly raised his hand and swung the fan at Qin Shuhuai. Qin Shuhuai didn't dare to really attack Zhao Yu, so he quickly changed the direction of the knife, kicked Zhao Yu hard at the same time, and threw the flying blade in his hand towards Zhao Yu!
Bai Huai saw Zhao Yu suddenly flying out and Xiaodao followed immediately. He was so frightened that he threw Qin Peng away and chased after him. Qin Shuhuai took the opportunity to grab Qin Peng and rushed out.
Surrounded by Zhao Yu's soldiers outside, Qin Shuhuai carried Qin Peng on one hand, drew his sword, and killed his way out with powerful force.
Jiang Chun had already led his men to the gate. Seeing Qin Shuhuai was surrounded, Jiang Chun drove the carriage directly towards the crowd. Qin Shuhuai saw Jiang Chun coming from a distance, got ready, and hacked and killed his way forward.
Qin Shuhuai protected Qin Peng and rushed forward. But in a moment, Jiang Chun rushed in front of Qin Shuhuai. Qin Shuhuai took advantage of the crowd and rammed the back of the carriage, directly destroying it and rolling into it.
The carriage turned around and headed towards the city, but Qin Shuhuai said, "Don't go into the city! Just go!"
Jiang Chun was stunned, but followed Qin Shuhuai's order without hesitation and ran towards the official road.
Zhao Yu and his group chased after them. Jiang Chun whipped his horse and asked anxiously, "My Lord, what about General Wei and the others?!"
"Let's get out of danger first."
Qin Shuhuai hugged Qin Peng, thinking quickly about what would happen tonight.
It was obvious that Zhao Yu had been planning this event for a long time. The three parties had agreed not to bring too many troops, but Zhao Yu had ambushed so many people quietly.
Of course, he was actually lying in ambush, but he didn't dare to get so close. After realizing that Zhao Yu's men had surrounded them, he asked Jiang Chun to put a muscle softener in the perfume powder applied by the dancer.
Today's banquet was organized by Qin Peng. Most of the dancers were from Qi. Seeing that Jiang Chun was from Qi, they did not take much precautions.
He used the dancer to put the money into the account first, and took the opportunity to kidnap Zhao Yu, delaying the time until his people arrived.
But he guessed that according to Zhao Yu's character, this matter would never end so easily, and he must be lying in ambush outside the gate of Xucheng waiting for him. So he decided to abandon the city and leave, not to take the risk.
Seeing Qin Shuhuai rushing towards the official road, Zhao Yu immediately snatched a horse from someone nearby and chased after him.
Bai Huai followed Zhao Yu and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, we must retreat. Now that the Qi people have discovered us, we should leave as soon as possible..."
“Get out of the way!”
Zhao Yu said anxiously, "I have to get my sister back... She promised to go back with me, she promised! She promised!"
She had not agreed to accompany him that year, and his crying and begging was in vain.
Now that she has agreed, how can he let her be taken away by someone else because of his own reasons?
He could accept that this was Qin Peng's wish, but he could never accept that it was a third person who snatched his person away in front of him.
Zhao Yu tightened the reins and rushed towards Qin Shuhuai's carriage, not caring about Bai Huai and others. There was no sound around him, and his mind was filled with only Qin Peng's promise.
She sent him back.
He knew that Qin Shuhuai would never let her go, so he had to strike first.
But that person was still taken away by Qin Shuhuai.
He was unwilling to accept it because he was too young at the time and it was three years too late.
It was not until she got married that he realized why he was unwilling.
If he was older, if he could understand his own feelings earlier, why would he have ended up like this? !
God has never given him fairness, so he can only give it to himself.
It was as if a fire was burning in his heart, crackling and burning.
Qin Peng was awakened by the shaking in the carriage.
When she woke up, she still had a headache. Qin Shuhuai was leaning against the carriage and holding her in his arms.
Qin Peng opened his eyes dazedly, then woke up immediately. He raised his head and covered his aching forehead, taking a deep breath and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, let's go back to Xuanjing."
Qin Shuhuai spoke decisively.
He knew that Qin Peng trusted Zhao Yu, and she would never believe that Zhao Yu would do anything bad to her. In fact... Zhao Yu's action this time was probably just to take Qin Peng away.
He and Zhao Yu were obviously enemies, but they were also the people who understood each other's thoughts best. Zhao Yu knew that he had no intention of letting Qin Peng return to Beiyan, just as he knew that once Zhao Yu took Qin Peng back to Beiyan, he would never let her come back.
They know without any evidence that the other party will do this.
Because if they were in their shoes, they would do the same.
Qin Peng was stunned after hearing what Qin Shuhuai said. She felt something was wrong. Just as she was about to speak, she heard a heart-wrenching roar: "Stop! Sister! Stop!"
Qin Peng turned around suddenly and saw a young man riding a horse galloping towards him under the moon.
The voice was so miserable, just like the night when she left his palace at the age of nineteen, when the sixteen-year-old boy chased after her carriage, crying like a child.
"Sister, stop! Stop!"
"Be good, Yu, I'll give you whatever you want!"
"Don't abandon me, don't go to Beiyan, you promised me that you would stay with me for the rest of my life!"
"Qin Peng, if you insist on leaving, we will no longer be siblings!"
He said that the relationship was over.
But seven years later, he is still chasing her like he did when he was young.
“Don’t go…”
He howled, "Don't leave me!"
