Chu Chang Le was struck by these sudden memories, the pain was excruciating, and blood involuntarily spilled from the corner of her mouth.
She suddenly opened her eyes, clutching her chest in pain.
The faint light of the pearl illuminated her pale face.
Standing by the bed, Shen Yan saw her like this and felt a metallic taste fill his throat.
He looked at her, silently watching her, without saying a word.
The princess of the Southern Dynasty was pampered and spoiled. She had fair skin and a delicate figure, and although she was only dressed in a white gauze dress, it could not hide her exquisite and fair body.
Her beauty was breathtaking, like a crescent moon with a halo around it. Her bright almond-shaped eyes, which were originally clear and bright, were now as cold as snow lotus flowers on the Tianshan Mountains.
"Get out."
"peaceful--"
Peace, peace, but I will never find peace in my life.
Chu Changle closed her eyes in pain, her petal-like lips bitten until they turned white, and large tears welled up in her eyes and rolled down her cheeks.
She turned away, ignoring everyone.
Shen Yan leaned down, grabbed her shoulders, and forced her to look over.
Their eyes met in mid-air, his expression revealing the coldness of an emperor.
Chu Changle looked at him and suddenly remembered their first meeting.
The top scholar, so upright and noble, possessed an unyielding spirit, just like a lotus blooming in the water, untouched by worldly dust.
But she never expected this.
He is a wolf, a wolf that eats people without spitting out the bones.
A surge of resentment welled up in Chu Changle's heart, and she fiercely bit down on his neck.
Shen Yan didn't even groan, letting her bite him.
"Shen Yan, one day I will kill you."
He stared intently at her, a desire slowly welling up in his eyes, a possessive and aggressive glint in them.
"Peace and prosperity are achieved. I'll give you the knife so you can kill."
After he finished speaking, he bent down and kissed him.
Chu Changle struggled to escape, but he pinned her down tightly.
Her snow-white body was soft and boneless, and the fragrance emanating from her body gradually overwhelmed him. He kissed her fiercely and passionately, sucking on her lips.
"Call me."
Chu Changle kicked and stomped on him, no longer wanting to call him Brother Yan in her usual cheerful voice.
But he pressed her tightly against him, his strong chest pressed against her soft skin, and he kissed her neck wantonly.
Their bodies were intertwined, filling the hall with an atmosphere of sensuality.
----
In early August, the winds were cold in the northern frontier, and the wind and waves shook the earth.
The fall of Beiyou led to frequent wars.
On the fifteenth, the Western Regions captured Dingyuan, and tens of thousands of troops from the Fengyang Road came out in full force. Suddenly, an earthquake struck, and they were attacked from both sides, resulting in a fierce battle.
Helian Ye led his troops to capture Youzhou. There were not many guards in the military camp, so Chu Changning evaded the patrolling guards and sneaked out of the tent.
She carried her bundle and hid in the dense forest on the mountain cliff.
As the two armies clashed, the ground shook frequently, and landslides roared. Countless soldiers and horses were killed or wounded in the beekeeping embankment below the cliff. Taking advantage of the situation, the Western Regions launched a pursuit, causing chaos and disorder.
The cliffs on all sides were filled with a dark mass of people, each holding a bow and arrow, aiming at the leader of the army below.
Arrows rained down like locusts, and the sounds of fighting and screams echoed through the sky.
Chu Changning glanced at it a few times, then looked away and turned to leave.
Yan Beimo, you personally pierced my heart with three broken nails, now I repay you with ten thousand arrows piercing my heart. From now on, we owe each other nothing.
The cold wind howled across the border, and vultures circled overhead, shrieking. Drawn by the strong smell of blood, they swooped down and devoured the corpses on the battlefield.
These are turbulent times, with war and chaos everywhere.
Chu Changning descended the cliff and headed straight for Qing County.
With the fall of Beiyou, the people of Dingyuan City are all fleeing westward.
She followed the city's residents toward the west gate.
Suddenly, war drums sounded, and the sound of the city gates being rammed resounded throughout the heavens and earth. A massive army swarmed in, startling the people who scattered and fled.
"Run! The army is entering the city! Run!"
"Run! Run!"
Chu Changning also ran frantically with the people.
A lone moon hung high in the sky, shouts of battle rose from all sides, and a cold wind ripped through the heavens.
Along the long street, troops from the north occupied all the streets in the city, with soldiers in iron armor standing tall on both sides, their armor cold and menacing.
"Chu Changning".
A familiar voice came from behind me.
Chu Changning trembled, and the moment she turned around, her long black hair was blown by the wind, and the howling wind filled her ears.
No more than a hundred paces away, he appeared, dressed in a black robe and cloak, riding a fine horse, slowly approaching from the side of the road.
Yanbei Desert?!
He didn't die.
How could this be? Who was the person leading the beekeeping troops along the alley? Who became his scapegoat?!
The two locked eyes.
The winds beyond the Great Wall were exceptionally cold, like knives slowly torturing her eyes.
Startled, Chu Changning's eyes immediately reddened, and she ran towards him.
"My husband."
At the front of the army, men on horseback wore black robes and silver armor, their robes fluttering in the wind.
He looked at the girl approaching him; her deep, cold eyes resembled those of an eagle soaring through a snow-capped mountain abyss, serene and chilling.
“I was traveling when I was unfortunately robbed by Helian Ye. I thought I would never see you again.”
Yan Beimo watched the girl acting, and a surge of violence welled up in his heart.
"Even now, they're still lying."
Chu Changning was horrified; the hand gripping the bundle was pale and frightening.
Suddenly, he leaned down and grabbed her by the neck, his voice sinister.
"Resisted arrest and fled, colluded with another man, tell me, how do you want to die?"
The two closed the distance instantly, and a wave of pain washed over her. The pain was excruciating, and she couldn't utter a single word.
The soldiers behind him all lowered their heads, not daring to look any longer.
Looking at the scarlet eyes above her head, Chu Changning knew he wouldn't believe her, so she gave up struggling, closed her eyes, and remained motionless.
Once you strangle him, you'll be free.
The wind and frost swept by, leaving everything desolate and the world in a vast expanse of white.
Yan Beimo's brutality over the past few days reached its peak at this moment.
He had fought alone for many years, growing up amidst bloodshed and violence. The first time he had ever softened his heart for a woman, she almost became the knife that stabbed into his heart.
This exception that caused him to lose control should never have existed in the first place.
He should kill her, personally annihilate this being that would bring him utter ruin.
The long, slender, cold hand tightened inch by inch.
Chu Changning was in so much pain she could hardly breathe, her eyes red and wet, her survival instinct making her tightly grip that cold hand.
Yan Beimo looked at her, and a strange pain spread from the bottom of his heart, through his limbs and bones, growing wildly and penetrating deep into his bones.
Dark clouds pressed down heavily, and the surrounding area was vast and desolate, exuding a sense of bleakness.
The strategist behind him noticed his hesitation and stepped forward to offer him a way out.
"My lord, with the fall of Dingyuan City, the first line of defense in Northern You has been breached, and we will inevitably retreat to the Mohe area. Should we pursue them while we are ahead?"
Yan Beimo paused, then released her slender, graceful neck.
With a thud, Chu Changning was thrown to the ground, coughing violently.
He Xingdao said, "No, the army of Jiafeng Yangdao will react soon, and Helian Ye will definitely pursue us. We should retreat to our camp."
Yan Rong had been investigating the death of the family head. This time, by taking advantage of Helian Ye's influence, Yan Rong was eliminated to prevent any future trouble. Helian Ye would definitely seek revenge once he realized what was happening.
Yan Beimo glanced at Chu Changning on the ground, his voice returning to calm.
"The soldiers are exhausted. Close the city gates and retreat for rest."
"yes."
