Batu trembled and raised his hands with tears in his eyes: "A soldier can be killed but not humiliated. I surrender!"
Yuanbao turned around: "He chose to surrender."
Xihe nodded and turned back to the main tent: "Okay, let's all go to sleep."
The guards returned to their tents in twos and threes.
Just when Batu was at a loss, a guard threw a weapon into his arms and said, "You will keep guard tonight." Then he went in.
Batu: ???
No, aren't they prisoners?
His eyes lit up as he exchanged glances with several of his men who were also on night watch, and they all made a decision.
The next day, when everyone woke up, they saw Batu and others with bruised faces and noses. Gu Qingyun was holding a sword with an expressionless face. There were messy footprints on the ground. It was obvious that the battle last night was very fierce.
Xihe glanced at it and said, "Let's go!"
The large army set out towards the grassland. On the way, Batu and others started to act up again and tried to escape, but they were beaten and pulled back by Gu Qingyun every time. In the end, they completely lost the desire to resist.
Yuanbao: "Princess, what should we do next?"
Outside the tent, the Royal Guards and others were cleaning up the battlefield. Batu skillfully tied up the prisoners and made threats.
Xihe put down his pen, blew on the ink, and folded it: "Return to the court."
Yuanbao was delighted: "Really?"
Xihe glanced at him and said, "Let's go to Mulang."
Yuan Bao was really excited this time, with a huge smile on his face: "Thank you, Princess!"
After the battle in the South, not long after returning to the border, Gu Ye declared war on Dazhao. At that time, General Yuan was hesitating whether to send troops. Yuan Bao's letter arrived just in time. So, when the whole court was in an uproar, General Yuan resolutely went to war, and he was accompanied by a hundred royal guards.
The Gu family army was well-known, and once they rebelled, the people were in a panic.
Fortunately, General Yuan was experienced, and he had the Imperial Guards trained by Xihe himself to fight alongside him. After a month-long battle, the casualties were not heavy, but the Gu family army was large in number and would be difficult to resist in the long run.
Yuanbao was thinking about how to talk to the princess, but he didn't expect the princess to make the decision first.
Yuanbao said infatuatedly: "Princess, you are so kind."
Xi He was surprised. She turned around and saw the tenderness in his eyes almost solidified. With a thought, she put down the envelope and walked over. Her eyes scanned his delicate eyebrows and eyes, and her red lips curled up: "Master Yuan."
Yuanbao stared at her blankly: "Princess."
Xihe raised her hand, gently covered the back of his hand, and held it up. Her wrist was clean... Her eyelashes trembled, and she suddenly stepped forward. In an instant, their noses were touching, and their breaths were entwined.
Yuanbao was stunned, staring at Xihe stupidly, and forgot what to do.
Xihe held his face, her red lips slowly falling on his lips, the tip of her tongue pried open his tightly closed teeth and explored inside——
In an instant, his soul throbbed, and a familiar feeling that belonged only to him swept over his whole body.
Xihe sighed slightly: "Fool."
boom--
Heat surged to my cheeks.
Yuanbao stretched out his hand and tightly embraced the woman in front of him, taking the initiative.
"Your Highness, you..."
The door curtain was lifted and Batu's voice stopped abruptly.
He widened his eyes, looking at the two people hugging each other at the table with interest, as if he was reading 'big news'. The next second, an inkstone was thrown at him: "Get out!"
"Oh, oh, oh." He quickly slipped away.
Inside the tent, Yuan Bao blushed: "Princess..."
Xihe patted the hand on her waist, and Yuanbao reluctantly let go. Xihe went back and sat down: "Gu Ye will go to the battle in five days. I have to go to Mulang before then. You go and make arrangements."
Yuanbao nodded immediately, but still wanted to ask: "Then what about us?"
They had already kissed, so was the next step to getting married? Should he write to the capital to let his parents know?
