"I'll go with you!" A delicate shout rang out from inside the house, followed by a tall figure slowly walking out. Her long, shapely, and straight legs immediately attracted the attention of all the men in the room.
Her honey-colored skin, in particular, added a touch of wild beauty, yet her appearance was that of a naive young girl. The two completely different qualities combined perfectly in her, creating a truly unique beauty.
However, at this moment, she looked exhausted, lacking her usual radiance. Her clothes were torn, and there was dried blood on her face, whether it was hers or that of the enemy was unknown.
He stood there looking extremely haggard and forlorn.
"Qinghe!" Chu Youzhao exclaimed anxiously upon seeing this.
Murong Qinghe glanced at her, his eyes filled with tenderness.
Brother Chu is usually so gentle and frail, but just now he protected her so fiercely, even more so than many warriors in the army. It's no wonder I've liked him so much all these years.
But she did not answer. Instead, she turned to the people from the Prince of Jin's residence and said, "I just sneaked in here without alerting anyone. The Qin family is unaware of this and it has nothing to do with them. Please, General Liu, do not make things difficult for others."
The middle-aged general nodded: "That's natural."
Upon hearing this, Murong Qinghe nodded and threw the spear in his hand to the ground. At that moment, soldiers rushed up and used chains to restrain it.
"Let's go," Murong Qinghe said coldly. She had been on the run for so long, and her heart was completely exhausted. She was ready to face her own destiny.
At this moment, the general surnamed Liu laughed and said, "Wait a minute, Chu Youzhao is harboring a wanted criminal. Arrest him and take him back for investigation."
Murong Qinghe was taken aback upon hearing this, then flew into a rage: "You surnamed Liu, you lied to me!"
She surrendered because the other party promised not to pursue Chu Youzhao's responsibility. Otherwise, with her marksmanship, if she had resisted, although she might not have been able to escape, she would have made these people pay a very heavy price.
But now that she was completely locked up, she was like a fish on a chopping board, with no ability to resist whatsoever.
Chu Youzhao was both shocked and furious: "Despicable and shameless! Qinghe, you shouldn't have trusted these people!"
The general surnamed Liu coldly replied, "How can the laws of the state be privately transferred or traded? The reason I am doing this is merely to reduce casualties among my men. What is wrong with that?"
As a confidant of the Prince of Jin, he naturally knew how furious the Prince of Jin was after learning of the Emperor's misfortune and how determined he was to avenge him.
The Murong family, responsible for his protection, and the Qin family, all allies of the Prince of Qi, were thorns in his side.
The Murong family was one thing, but the Qin family, though weakened, was still a force to be reckoned with, with many protégés and former subordinates in the army. As a result, the two dukes were unable to be convicted for a long time.
If we can use the fact that he harbored a wanted criminal as a starting point to completely bring down the Qin family, the Prince of Jin will be overjoyed, and I will also gain the appreciation of all the bigwigs in the capital...
Hearing his eloquent arguments, the two girls trembled with anger, but there was nothing they could do at that point.
With a wave of his hand, several purple-armored guards surrounded Chu Youzhao. As guards of the royal palace, their cultivation was naturally much stronger than that of ordinary soldiers.
Chu Youzhao is not known for her cultivation skills, so even in a one-on-one fight, she might not be a match for her.
The thought that if she were caught, her disguise as a man would likely be exposed, made Chu Youzhao's face turn pale, and she was plunged into despair.
Just then, a cold voice rang out: "I thought the people from the Prince of Jin's mansion were quite capable, but it turns out they can only deceive two young upstarts. I want these two; no one can take them away!"
