Xihe nodded at him and continued, "Gu Ye and Dazhao are at war until death. I will fight him to the end. It's up to you whether you want to protect Dazhao with your brother or together."
“But Gu Qi.”
"There are fifty-seven people in your family, and only two of them survived in your previous life. I hope you can see clearly what is more important. After all, I am not a hypocrite and will not do anything that will put me at a disadvantage."
After saying that, he started drinking his tea. Yuanbao looked left and right, with confusion written all over his face.
Gu Qingyun gritted his teeth: "How do I know you are not talking nonsense? Are you deliberately deceiving me..." Thinking of Gu Ye's trick, he was speechless for a moment.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, "You are so powerful, why don't you just kill me."
Even though Gu Ye was incredibly strong, she could fight him to a draw, so why did she need to repeatedly incite him to rebel? He had never been as good as his elder brother before, and he was even worse now.
Xihe shook her head: "I have my own reasons. You just need to make a choice."
In his previous life, when Gu Ye rebelled, the Gu family did not leave the capital. They were all captured and beheaded by the furious emperor. Among dozens of people, only Gu Qingyun and a few children escaped safely, but most of them died on the battlefield later.
Xihe did not hide any of these things.
She said, "Rebellion is a grave crime, punishable by confiscation of property and extermination of the entire clan, regardless of dynasty. My father is innocent. The wrongdoers are your eldest brother, who is stirring up trouble in the world, and your Gu family's ambition to remain under someone else's control."
"I am willing to give you a chance this time, but if you persist in your wrongdoing, I will definitely not tolerate you leaving the Gu family."
"Gu Qi, you don't want to try my methods."
Xihe had no expression on his face and didn't give Gu Qingyun a second choice.
Under the candlelight, Yuanbao's eyes lit up as he heard this. He felt that the princess who had spoken so harshly was extremely beautiful, domineering and gorgeous, just like a beautiful and dangerous carnivorous plant.
He quickly expressed his sincerity: "Your Highness, don't worry, I have already sent a letter to my father, and he will definitely help you resist the Gu family's army."
Xihe raised an eyebrow: "Oh?"
Yuanbao nodded vigorously: "I wrote a letter to my father after I returned. The carrier pigeon will arrive soon."
Xihe smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Yuan." He turned to look at Gu Qingyun.
Gu Qingyun's heart sank little by little, and he finally closed his eyes, then opened them again, stood up, knelt on one knee and leaned forward: "From now on, Gu Qingyun will be at the princess' disposal."
He took out the porcelain bottle, unplugged it, poured the liquid into his mouth and drank it all in one gulp.
The blood rushed into his limbs and bones, washing every inch of his bones. In an instant, his whole body was covered in sweat, and his blood vessels were oozing blood. This was the purest divine power that Xihe had specially extracted.
She observed the entire Gu family for a long time.
Only Gu Qingyun has the highest talent and has a great chance of enduring the pain and gaining a new life.
A young man who is related to Gu Ye by blood and is extremely talented. As long as he is used properly, he will be a magical weapon that is no less powerful than Gu Ye on the battlefield in the future.
Yunbao was shocked, but the palace maids and eunuchs were used to it. Sun Li called two eunuchs to move Gu Qingyun away.
Yuanbao looked at Xihe carefully: "Your Highness..."
Xi He turned around, her brows curved. "The moonlight is beautiful. Young Master Yuan, would you like to enjoy it with me?"
Of course Yuanbao was willing, and he couldn't help but think that something would happen. However, they actually watched the moon all night until the sun rose the next day, and Xihe took him to see Gu Qingyun.
Gu Qingyun lay on the bed, looking listless.
Xihe's smile remained unchanged: "One day, you will be grateful for the choice you made today."
Gu Qingyun curled his lips and didn't believe her nonsense at all. It was not until many years later, when the world was stable, the people lived and worked in peace, and the real prosperous era came, when the Great Zhao God of War was worshipped by people, that he thought of this night again. He wanted to say that he was forced to do so, but... he was very glad for his decision.
However, this was all a long time in the future, and now he just wanted to find a place to vent.
Gu Qingyun's eyes turned, and he quickly attacked Xihe——
"Your Highness, be careful!"
"Princess!"
Bang, the hand with tremendous force was easily restrained by a small hand.
Xihe kept smiling as he grabbed Gu Qingyun's arm and threw him to the ground, beating him up. Gu Qingyun gritted his teeth and refused to make a sound even if he was beaten to death.
Xihe clapped his hands and turned around gracefully: "Let's go. Let's have dinner."
Yuanbao looked back as he walked, and couldn't help but admire Gu Qingyun who was lying dead on the ground. He was bruised and swollen but he still didn't beg for mercy. He was indeed worthy of being a military general, so powerful!
Song Chenyin was taken away by Gu Ye, and Uncle Li agreed to lend troops, and the journey to the Southern Kingdom ended here.
At the city gate,
Xihe saluted Uncle Li respectfully: "Uncle, take care of yourself!"
Uncle Li's face was filled with undisguised worry. "The battlefield is filled with murderous intent. Although you are a skilled martial artist, you must be careful not to get hurt." Turning around, he urged his son, "Take good care of your sister."
Fang Yu nodded: "Don't worry, Father!"
After drinking the farewell wine, the army set off and headed towards the border. They traveled day and night and finally arrived at the border in about half a month. They chose a place to camp and waited for instructions.
At the same time, Xihe and others, who had taken a detour with the Royal Guards, were just finishing a battle.
The setting sun was blood-red as the Imperial Guards were clearing the battlefield. Xihe stood on the hillside, gazing at the endless grasslands in the distance. "Although Chaolu's men are few in number, they are incredibly fierce. He's a feared figure on the grasslands, always seeking revenge. We've captured over a hundred of his men, and I doubt they'll be back for revenge tomorrow."
He turned and strode towards the tent: "Rest well and be ready for battle tonight."
As expected, in the early morning, when most people were fast asleep, a group of people sneaked into the camp. Their methods were fierce and efficient. Unfortunately, they were facing the reinforced Royal Guards, who were so strong that they were stunned when they were caught.
Xihe didn't waste any words: "Do you want to die or live?"
Chao Lu: “*……%￥（%.”
A bearded man with a cruel look on his face muttered a lot angrily, but Xihe didn't understand a single word he said.
Everyone: “…”
Looking at each other was a bit awkward.
Fortunately, Yuanfu jumped out and said, "Princess, he said that if you have the guts, just kill him. He will never surrender!"
Xihe looked over subconsciously and saw Chao Lu with a look that said, "A gentleman should be killed but not humiliated."
Xihe nodded: "Oh, tell him that if he doesn't surrender, I will sell him to Nanfeng Pavilion and make him the top prostitute, receiving customers every day."
Everyone couldn't help but look over, ah, this is indeed His Highness.
Yuanbao blinked for a moment, then coughed softly and repeated everything to Chaolu word for word. Seeing Chaolu's dazed expression, he kindly reminded him, "The guy who refused to surrender last time is now in Nanfeng Pavilion."
"King Batu, I don't know if you recognize him."
Chaolu:!!!!!!
A look of horror.
Yes, he knows him very well. We have been dealing with each other for several years.
A few days ago, he heard from his subordinates that they saw a man who looked very similar to King Batu in the Southern Pavilion. He was about to use this to make fun of him, but he didn't expect... it was actually the real person?
