Chapter 59: Meeting Again
"Do you know what you are saying?" Xie Sui's fingers began to tremble, and the words leaked out from between his lips and teeth, which were cold.
Xiao Huaiwen said, "Your Majesty, why do you have to deceive yourself? You are so smart, how could you not notice that you are different in all these days? Your Majesty, everything you see is nothing but empty. You once said that those who took Wu Shi San in the previous dynasty were the most useless people. They would not recognize the reality in front of them, but only used those drugs to numb themselves and tried to forget the pain of the world. Now you are indulging in your own imagination. What is the difference between you and these people?!"
"Bang..." An empty small porcelain cup flew out from Xie Sui's hand, brushed Xiao Huaiwen's forehead, and fell to the ground and shattered.
He did not dodge at all.
"Enough! I don't want to hear this! Get out--" Xie Sui suppressed the anger in his chest that wanted to tear apart everything in front of him, just like the despair of the Xie family's death in the fire eighteen years ago, so desperate that he wanted to destroy everything in the world.
But he could only endure it.
Xiao Huaiwen retreated.
"Get out." He ordered in a deep voice.
No one dared to disobey.
Facing the empty hall, he waved in one direction, laughing crazily, "Achun, come, come here..."
There was no response.
Wu Chun in front of him, standing in the same position just now, tilted his head towards him, and then the smile on his face disappeared little by little, looking at him coldly.
"No, don't look at me like that..." His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he said this sentence with difficulty, as if this sentence had exhausted his strength. Her figure gradually dissipated, like a cloud under the sunlight. He stood up and staggered over, with an extremely humble plea in his eyes, "No, don't..."
His fingertips passed through the corner of her clothes, catching only a beam of sunlight, which leaked through the gaps between his fingers and sprinkled on the ground like a layer of golden sand.
The golden nanmu floor was polished to a shine by the palace servants, reflecting his shadow.
He was stretching out his hand in vain, and there was nothing in front of him.
This dream finally woke up.
She had left him a long time ago. She hated him and hated him. She was willing to threaten him with her own life just to leave him.
She said that she had never longed for a life in the palace. She wanted to travel and enjoy the world.
He knew it clearly, but he imprisoned her, because only in this way could he have her and keep her.
Her heart has never been with him since her rebirth.
Xie Sui fell to the ground, and the coldness penetrated from his skin to his bones.
Before the age of six, he had everything and was the most envied fairy prince in the imperial capital.
At the age of six, he lost everything overnight. Relying on a few connections and painstaking planning for more than ten years, he avenged his blood feud and became the supreme ruler of the country.
Everything he has was robbed.
For more than ten years, he walked alone in all the cold nights. Until she came to Xuanyang Palace in the middle of the night with a lantern, just because she was afraid that he was hungry, she brought him a bowl of homemade soup.
But she was different in this life from the previous one. She didn't love him in this life. What other ways could he keep her except imprisoning her?
He could have lived in darkness forever, but someone passed him a little light. It was important, but it appeared too late. It was not important, but it was the only light. Giving up this weak candlelight was like taking away the sustenance of his life.
Mortals are flesh and blood piled up by desires. After tasting sweetness, they don't want to suffer anymore; after eating meat, they don't want to drink porridge anymore; after seeing the light, they will fear the endless darkness.
He was no exception.
He imprisoned her so that he could survive. But he was wrong. Her life should not be confined to his small palace. What she wanted was boundless freedom.
He was wrong after all.
Xie Sui looked up at the dazzling sun without blinking, until his eyes were full of bloodshot and tears flowed uncontrollably.
After she left, he would never see such light again.
The sun was particularly strong today. The grass on the ground of the general camp was so hot that it could not stand up straight. When the black boots stepped across the lawn, they would step on an orange daisy in the next step, but they stopped in their tracks.
Wu Chun squinted her eyes at the flower and murmured, "...it's really not easy for you to bloom. The two armies will go to war tomorrow. I don't know how long you can live." Wu Chun
went to find Generals Yuan and Li. They were arranging troops and studying tactics. She didn't understand, but she needed to know a safe transfer route. After all, the safety of the princess was very important. She could even command the army to retreat when necessary.
Although Wu Chun had never fought in a war, she had studied military books in the past few days and knew some basic tactics. She was not so stupid that she couldn't even read the books. After listening to the two generals' arrangements for a while, she quickly understood the terrain and applicable tactics. She just waited for the two armies to go to war tomorrow and she stayed in the camp.
General Yuan was more worried about her safety than General Li, and he repeatedly told Wuchun to ensure her safety when necessary, as if anything happened to her, Daning would also die.
Wuchun had nothing to say except nodding.
When the battle came, Wuchun was safe and sound for the first three days. On the fourth day, it seemed that the people of Xiyou knew some news that the eldest princess of Nanjiang, who had no martial arts skills, had come to the border, so they sent a lot of troops to bypass the defense line and capture Wuchun alive!
When Wu Chun saw the horses stamping their hooves for no reason beside the tent, she thought that a large number of troops would attack from afar, so she quickly evacuated. Seeing that there were cavalrymen waiting, she pretended to take a detour and passed through the winding hills, killing four cavalrymen with poison along the way. However, she did not know martial arts and was ultimately defeated. The army was in front to fight the enemy and guard the border. She could not destroy the overall situation for her own safety, so she fell into the hands of the enemy. This book is exclusively compiled by the LK team for you.
The people of Xiyou will not kill her immediately. Not only will they not, they will also raise her.
Life will definitely not be as good as in Nanjiang or Daning, but she will not be injured and she is safe.
This battle will continue to stalemate and there will be no winner.
As long as the princess is not captured, Nanjiang will not retreat. Xiyou will not give in even if Wuchun is held as a handout.
General Yuan immediately wrote a letter and sent it to the imperial capital via flying birds, but there was no reply for a long time. He was extremely anxious and discussed with General Li how to march all night long.
Wuchun was placed in a small tent of the Xiyou people. Every day, a rough man came to bring her food. His eyes were full of undisguised greed, but he could not touch Wuchun due to military orders.
Wu Chun felt disgusted by his eyes. Every night before falling asleep, the pair of ugly and cloudy eyes would appear in her mind.
She tried her best to tell herself not to be afraid, but she still trembled uncontrollably. At this moment, she actually began to miss him. She
missed the faint cold wood fragrance that always lingered on Xie Sui.
At least he was clean and good-looking.
She didn't dare to try to run away. If she was caught, she would have to endure much more than now. The people of Xiyou were barbaric and rude. In order to prevent her from escaping, they would break her hands and feet. By then, she would be a disabled body, and someone would hold the mentality of "it's already like this, why worry about it getting worse" and do something shameless to her.
It was not only a physical humiliation for her, but also a humiliation for the entire country of Southern Xinjiang.
How could Wu Chun endure this?

So she simply became dumb and blind, turning a blind eye to the coveting people from Xiyou outside.
She didn't know how much time had passed in the darkness. Her hair had become withered, her face was sallow, and her skin was dry and cracked, like a walking corpse. Occasionally, a little light leaking in from the curtain would make her squint uncomfortably.
Perhaps, she would die here soon.
By then, they would have nothing to worry about the people from Xiyou, and they could conquer them and completely drive them out of the land of Southern Xinjiang.
She would gradually turn into a pile of dry bones in a foreign land...
Just as she was thinking this, there was a sudden chaos outside. The noisy noise, the neighing of horses, and the sound of swords being unsheathed all made Wu Chun feel uneasy.
A hand reached in from outside the curtain and grabbed her randomly. Wu Chun was worried that he would touch her, so she screamed, "Ah!"
In an instant, her first thought was that she could still speak.
She knew she couldn't avoid it, so she turned to the side, and the hand grabbed her arm - fortunately he didn't touch her anywhere else.
The man tightened the rope around her, spoke words she couldn't understand, and threw her on the horse's back.
The bumpy ride shook her vision, and her ribs were almost broken. She felt dizzy and dazed from the pain, as if a pair of hands were clutching her lungs. She almost fainted several times, and two lines of blood flowed from the corners of her mouth.
The dry grass that kept moving in front of her stopped.
A force that could crush her bones came from Wu Chun's shoulders, dragging her up.
She finally saw the scene in front of her clearly.
The sky and the earth were vast, and the dry grass was continuous. A pair of wild geese flew under the sky, with black armor extending to the end of the sight. A rider stood in front of the soldiers, wearing silver armor, with a face like a banished immortal, eyes like stars, bright and clear, and heroic, as if he was a god.
A piece of cloth was stuffed in her mouth, making her unable to make a sound.
She could only look at Xie Sui.
The Xiyou man behind her said in an unskilled Daning dialect with an accent: "If you... dare to lie to me... I will kill this woman!"
Xie Sui's expression was very calm, calmer than ever. He did not say anything, but threw the long knife at his waist. The blade fell to the ground like a silver rainbow.
Wu Chun did not know what had happened to make the situation so reversed. The arrogant Xiyou man was forced to take out his trump card - that is, her.
Now it is Nanjiang... no, it is Nanjiang and Daning that have the upper hand on the battlefield. Xiyou begged them to let her go.
The man behind her moved. He moved forward slowly. The horse took a few steps and then stopped. "You, come here alone!"
Xie Sui's eyebrows were cold and he rode forward.
Gradually, Wuchun could see Xie Sui more clearly.
Xie Sui seemed to have lost some weight, looked a little unkempt, and had stubble on his chin...
Strangely, when she saw Xie Sui, she felt relieved.
The Xiyou people pushed Wuchun to the ground. She had broken ribs and was hunched over. She was then forced to stand up straight. She looked painful. When Xie Sui saw this, his eyebrows became colder, and he felt like he wanted to kill this person. This book is exclusively compiled by the LK team
Xie Sui rode his horse to Wuchun and got very close to the Xiyou people. When he stretched out his hand to pull Wuchun, two arrows shot at him!
One was aimed at Wuchun, and the other was aimed at Xie Sui!
It turned out that the Xiyou people had set up an ambush in the dark! It's better to throw it all away. Since he's about to lose, he might as well kill Emperor Daning and Princess Nanjiang to vent his anger!
Xie Sui's eyelashes trembled. Not surprisingly, he pulled up Wu Chun without a moment's hesitation, and the dagger of Xiyou people beside him stabbed at him. Xie Sui dodged to the side and pulled Wu Chun onto the horse in this moment. The dagger stabbed at Wu Chun again. He turned the horse's head and the sharp iron sheet pierced into his back.
Wu Chun heard the sound of the blade entering the flesh.
She frowned and looked at him with inquiring eyes.
He even smiled, and his voice was still pleasant, "I'm fine."
