Chapter 381 General's Childhood Sweetheart 33
A gust of cold wind blew by, making Song Jiao shiver.
She watched as the red-stained longsword was drawn out, and the person in front of her slowly fell down and fell into her arms...
Song Jiao's eyes were blurred. She opened her lips, but no sound came out.
"Yes... I'm sorry..." Xiao Qi forced a weak smile. She raised her hand to wipe Song Jiao's tears and told her not to cry, she was not worth it.
However, what came out of his mouth was a mouthful of bright red blood.
She looked at Song Jiao, who was sobbing and panicking, and tears fell from the corners of her eyes...
If... if I hadn't been born in the deep palace, I would have met Miss Song earlier...
Then she wouldn't have to be controlled by others and live cautiously.
With her last bit of strength, she stuffed the dagger in her hand into Song Jiao's hand, and her lips moved slightly.
run……
Run...
After saying that, those eyes closed weakly little by little...
"Xiao Qi!!!"
The hoarse crying startled the birds in the forest, and they flapped their wings and flew away.
However, no matter how Song Jiao called out, the person in his arms did not respond.
"Serves you right!" Princess Xiyue sneered as she looked at the dead Xiaoqi: "This is what happens when you betray me!!"
She looked at the grief-stricken Song Jiao: "Song Jiao, do you see? She died because of you! You are a disaster! If you and your parents had died at the border, this wouldn't have happened at all!!"
After saying that, she looked at the two beggars and said, "Now that there's no one to stop us, why don't you two hurry up!"
The two beggars saw Xiaoqi being killed with their own eyes, so how could they disobey Xiyue's words? They rushed towards Song Jiao without even saying a word.
Song Jiao was cutting the rope on his hand with a dagger when he was caught.
It had been who knows how many days since she last cleaned up these two beggars, and the sour stench from their bodies almost made her faint.
Princess Xiyue looked at Song Jiao's embarrassed appearance as he dodged everywhere and laughed happily: "Song Jiao, this is what happens when you covet my person and harm me!!"
"I wonder if Pei Lin will still want you after you've been played with!"
The two beggars were originally just after Princess Xiyue's bag of silver, but later they were frightened by her killing with a sword. Now, when they touched Song Jiao's soft body, they immediately lost themselves...
They have been beggars for so many years, how could they have ever touched a woman?
What's more, she was such a fragrant and soft woman, so when Princess Xiyue ordered them to untie Song Jiao's clothes, both of them rushed to do it.
However, this time, just as their hands touched the belt of Song Jiao's dress, they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from afar...
Princess Xiyue looked over subconsciously and saw two sharp arrows coming through the wind and shooting straight into the backs of the two beggars who were pressing on Song Jiao, killing them instantly.
Song Jiao also cut the rope at this moment and jumped up.
However, as soon as she stood up, Princess Xiyue pointed her sword at her and said fiercely, "If you dare to move another step, I will kill you!!"
"Stop!" Pei Lin, who came hurriedly, dismounted. When he saw the whip marks on Song Jiao's body, his heart sank.
Princess Xiyue, who had kidnapped Song Jiao because she had expected Pei Lin to leave today, did not expect Pei Lin to suddenly appear.
She looked at Pei Lin, whose heart was completely focused on Song Jiao and whose heartache was almost overflowing, and her eyes turned red with jealousy.
Is Song Jiao so important?
Does he like Song Jiao that much?
She was the one who knew him first, so why couldn't she win Pei Lin's favor no matter what?!
Why!!
"Let her go." The man's eyes were fixed on Song Jiao, but he was talking to Xiyue: "Let her go, and I will go and plead with the emperor to revoke your marriage."
Upon hearing this, Song Jiao and Princess Xiyue were both stunned.
Princess Xiyue looked at Pei Lin excitedly: "What about you? Will you marry me?"
After these words were spoken, even Qu Ziming who was standing beside him was speechless.
What is the princess thinking?
Pei Lin finally looked at her, but what he said made Xiyue feel hopeless: "No."
Song Jiao suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart: "..."
Princess Xiyue suddenly burst into laughter, tears streaming down her face. "Then why should I let her go?"
At the palace banquet that day, she lost her virginity to a lowly guard and her reputation was ruined.
If Pei Lin doesn't want to marry her, no one else will want her!
And all of this is thanks to Song Jiao!!
She sneered at the two people who were looking at each other from a distance: "You want to grow old together, right?"
Then she will not do what they want!!
She wanted them to be separated by the Yin and Yang, and wanted Pei Lin to lose his beloved. Even if he hated her, he had to remember her for the rest of his life! !
Seeing Princess Xiyue's gradual madness, Song Jiao was speechless at the beauty's words!
Pei Lin said this, what does it have to do with her, Song Jiao?
Pei Lin is such a blockhead, doesn't he just know how to lie to her?
Now, this princess really wants to kill her! !
Seeing Princess Xiyue stabbing at her with a sword, Song Jiao ran back without hesitation.
Then, under the horrified gaze of everyone, he jumped down.
"Song Jiao!!"
"General!!"
Finally at the edge of the cliff, Qu Ziming used all his strength to grab Pei Lin who was about to jump down.
He couldn't resist Pei Lin's strength, and glared at the person behind him with bloodshot eyes: "Fuck him, come and help me quickly!!"
The subordinates reacted and hurriedly pulled Pei Lin back.
"Qu Ziming, let me go."
This was the first time Qu Ziming heard Pei Lin speak like this. His voice was hoarse and dry, and full of sorrow.
His nose felt sore: "General..."
He wanted to comfort Pei Lin and tell him that Song Jiao was gone, but he definitely hoped that he could live well.
But before he could open his mouth, a familiar voice suddenly rang out: "Can you please pull me out first?"
Pei Lin's body stiffened, and Qu Ziming looked down the cliff in disbelief.
Song Jiao was seen holding a dagger and inserting it fiercely into the crevice of the cliff. She held the dagger tightly and dangled it in the air.
Seeing that the people above finally noticed her, she forced a smile that was uglier than crying.
Please, please pull her up quickly, wu ...
It's so fucking scary hanging like this!!!
Beautiful Song Jiao trembles QAQ
Finally, with everyone's joint efforts, Song Jiao returned to the ground. Apart from his legs shaking violently, there was nothing else wrong.
Song Jiao, who had never shed a tear from being tied up by Xiyue to being whipped, finally couldn't help crying out of grievance when Pei Lin hugged her in his arms.
All the beatings, insults, and bullying he had just suffered were now being complained about out loud: "I almost thought I would never see you again..."
As the woman spoke, Pei Lin felt as if his heart was being pricked by countless needles, causing him severe pain.
Song Jiao finally felt a little tired after telling her grievances. She closed her eyes and said softly, "Pei Lin, I'm so sleepy."
"You sleep." He picked her up, his voice as hoarse as if it had been polished by sandpaper: "I'll take you back."
Song Jiao responded to him and fell asleep in his arms.
"General." Qu Ziming looked at the princess being held aside and asked, "Should we hand Princess Xiyue over to the Emperor?"
Pei Lin's indifferent eyes swept across Xiyue on the ground: "No need."
Princess Xiyue raised her head in disbelief. She looked at Pei Lin in horror: "Pei Lin, if you dare to do anything to me, my father will not let you go!!"
Qu Ziming: "..."
This princess really didn't realize how serious her sin was even when she was about to die! !
They still won't let the general go, how naive! !
…
When Song Jiao woke up again, there was no one in the room.
She opened her eyes and moved uncomfortably. The whip wounds on her body had been treated with medicine and she had changed into a clean dress.
Song Jiao lifted the quilt on her body, got off the bed, and opened the door with her shoes on.
He just happened to meet Feicui who came outside to deliver medicine.
When Feicui saw her get up, joy flashed across her face: "Girl, you're awake!"
Song Jiao nodded.
Feicui quickly helped her back to the couch and said, "The doctor said that you need to take good care of your injuries to heal. If you move around and injure the general again, he'll blame you."
Song Jiao: "Where are the others?"
"This morning the Emperor sent word that the general should enter the palace, and he hasn't returned yet."
Enter the palace?
Is it because of Princess Xiyue?
From Feicui's story, Song Jiao learned that she had been in a coma for two days after being brought back by Pei Lin, and Pei Lin also stayed with her for two days.
After drinking the medicine, Song Jiao didn't want to stay on the couch anymore.
Feicui had no choice but to give her the storybook that she had not finished reading that day.
When Liu Bo knew that she had woken up, he rushed over and ordered people to prepare a lot of meals for her, all of which were good for her health.
"It's all my fault. I didn't take good care of the girl, so she suffered so much."
Song Jiao listened to Uncle Liu's words and smiled to comfort him, "Don't worry too much, I'm fine now, right?"
After all, no one thought that Xiaoqi would drug her and bring so many people with him.
Thinking of Xiaoqi, Song Jiao couldn't help but lower his eyes.
Uncle Liu nodded, a look of relief on his face: "Thank goodness you're okay, young lady. I was terrified when the general came back with you covered in blood. I've never seen the general look like that before..."
Except for the time when the old general died, this was the first time that Liu Bo saw Pei Lin, a grown man, lose his temper.
Fortunately, God blessed Song Jiao and he was fine, otherwise his general would probably have lived alone for the rest of his life.
Before leaving, Uncle Liu nagged Song Jiao again, telling her to have a good rest and to remember to call him if anything happened.
Song Jiao nodded in agreement.
-
In the evening, night falls.
As soon as Pei Lin opened the door, he saw a woman curled up on the couch, with a storybook lying on the ground beside her.
The warm candlelight shone on her, making her look small, fragile and delicate.
He couldn't help but slow down his pace and picked up the notebook.
Unexpectedly, as soon as it was put aside, the woman who was taking a rest opened her eyes.
Song Jiao rubbed his eyes and saw the tall figure appear in front of the couch. He recognized Pei Lin and said in surprise: "You're back?"
"Why are you sleeping here?" Pei Lin picked her up and asked, "Where's the jade?"
"I let her rest."
Mainly because after she was injured, Feicui became much more talkative and she couldn't do anything.
Song Jiao obediently nestled into his arms, her hands hooked around his neck, and pouted, "You don't even know, I drank three bowls of medicine just this day!"
The key is that it is extremely bitter!!
For once, Pei Lin didn't pamper her. He frowned and said, "This way you'll get better faster."
Song Jiao: “…Oh.”
Seeing her lost expression, he couldn't help but laugh out loud and rubbed her head: "If you really don't like the bitterness, have someone prepare candied fruit tomorrow."
In fact, Song Jiao was not afraid of hardship, she just wanted to do something so that Pei Lin could coax her.
Now that the goal has been achieved, nature has returned to normal.
She remembered Pei Lin suddenly appearing on the other side of the cliff today. She reached out and poked his chest and asked, "Weren't you out on business for the Emperor today? Why did you rush back to save me so quickly?"
"Because of Xiao Qi."
Pei Lin said calmly, "After you were kidnapped, she sent someone to the military camp."
“…”
Seeing Song Jiao remained silent, Pei Lin whispered, "I've already ordered her to be buried. Her sister and mother have also been rescued from Princess Xiyue. They will be taken care of in the future. Don't worry, huh?"
Song Jiao nodded softly and said okay.
Remembering that Pei Lin had just returned from the palace, she asked again, "So, you came to the palace today... because of Princess Xiyue's matter?"
Pei Lin hummed, looked at Song Jiao's pale face, and said in a flat and hoarse voice: "She will never appear in front of you again."
Hearing this, Song Jiao was slightly stunned.
The meaning of Pei Lin's words was that if she guessed correctly, Princess Xiyue had probably been dealt with by him.
But Princess Xiyue is the daughter of Emperor Tianqi after all, and Emperor Tianqi seems to love her quite a bit...
Pei Lin saw the worry in Song Jiao's eyes and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
This matter was originally Xiyue's fault. What happened at the previous palace banquet had already made Emperor Tianqi disappointed in her.
Now that she had disobeyed orders and escaped from the palace, and had done such a thing, it naturally eroded the last of Emperor Tianqi's father-daughter affection for her.
Not to mention, the person she hurt was Song Jiao, for whom Pei Lin would rather exchange all his merits for a clear name.
Pei Lin's role in Tianqi Kingdom is far greater than that of a princess whose innocence has been ruined and whose reputation has been lost.
After all, Emperor Tianqi has more than one princess, Xiyue, but there is only one general, Pei Lin, who can guard Tianqi.
The emperor sitting on the dragon throne naturally knew clearly what was more important.
Not only that, in order to compensate Song Jiao, Emperor Tianqi also sent people to deliver a lot of good things to the general's mansion.
And the imperial decree granting the marriage.
Song Jiao was amazed after hearing this. She had originally thought that Emperor Tianqi loved Princess Xiyue very much!
What a result!!
When it comes to national interests, people make a clear distinction! !

ps: Reply to the message saying that Lu Hua in this dimension has become weaker.
Those who have followed this far probably know that the system never gave Lu Hua any help from the beginning to the end, because I didn’t want to write a plot where Lu Hua could easily complete tasks with the help of the system using all kinds of cheats, because that way Lu Hua wouldn’t be able to grow at all.
Besides, as a modern person, she would definitely be weak in front of the ancient people who were all good at martial arts...
But it doesn't matter. After she and Brother Lin get married, someone will naturally teach her martial arts. QAQ
