Is there still hope for Black Ah Zhan? Lin Jinghan was very excited, and she clutched Red Sikong Zhan's hand tightly. However, Red Ah Zhan's expression was too cautious. Lin Jinghan suddenly thought of something, stared into his eyes, and asked:
"What will happen if you save him?"
"Me?" The red Sikong Zhan looked at her steadily, as if he wanted to imprint him into his mind, and then he put his arms around her neck and kissed her red lips.
"Hmm..." Lin Jinghan was caught off guard by the kiss. This time, he was more domineering than any other time before. She could even feel the pain on her lips.
The pain is only a moment, followed by endless tenderness, just like the mellow and refreshing wine, which makes people unable to help but savor it carefully.
After a long time, he reluctantly let her go, stared at her confused eyes, lowered his head again, and bit her lips hard.
"Hiss—" Blood slowly oozed out, and Lin Jinghan woke up instantly, staring at him with accusing eyes.
He closed his eyes, and finally stood up with determination, walking towards the black Sikong Zhan beside him, "There is no time, Jinghan, protect us."
So what exactly was he going to do? Lin Jinghan didn't know, and Sikong Zhan didn't want to explain. He just said, "It will take a long time, and there can't be any mistakes along the way. Our safety is in your hands."
In her sight, the red Sikong Zhan picked up the black Sikong Zhan, his figure faded little by little, and then, the two bodies gradually merged.
The black Sikong Zhan, or rather Sikong Zhan himself, gradually regained his vitality. The red Sikong Zhan finally turned into a ball of red blood power, floating above Sikong Zhan's head and gradually approaching him.
"No!" Sikong Zhan looked up at the red bloodline power, "If we fuse now, I will have no choice but to ascend. We can't leave Jinghan here alone!"
The power of blood replied in an erratic voice, "I will remain silent forever until you awaken me again. Without my power, you should be able to control yourself from breaking through and ascending."
The power of blood was just a ball of blood mist, without eyes, but Lin Jinghan always felt that he was staring at her.
"Don't forget me!" The vague voice sounded again, and then the power of blood was completely integrated into Sikong Zhan's body.
When the fully recovered Sikong Zhan held Lin Jinghan in his arms again, three full months had passed since they left the palace.
During these three months, King Jingnan disappeared and the continent underwent tremendous changes.
More than two months ago, shortly after the disappearance of Prince Jingnan and his wife, Nanzhao suddenly declared war on the east, and the army was approaching, and the border was in crisis.
The emperor issued several imperial edicts in succession, ordering the Jingnan Army to fight against Nanzhao.
The Jingnan Army was leaderless, and Deputy Commander Tang Xun, under pressure from all sides, was reluctant to send troops, secretly praying that the King of Jingnan would appear soon.
The emperor issued another imperial decree, enthrone Sikong Ling, the only descendant of the Sikong family, as the new King of Jingnan on the grounds that King Jingnan was dead, and ordered him to lead the Jingnan Army to fight against Nanzhao.
At this time, Nanzhao was unstoppable and had already reached Jingnan. Even if the Jingnan army did not want to fight, it was impossible.
Sikong Ling, with a big belly, took over as King of Jingnan. With the assistance of Tang Xun, she fought a fierce battle with the people of Nanzhao.
Although Tang Xun was not as good as Sikong Zhan in commanding troops, he had worked under him for many years and was able to quickly curb Nanzhao's rapid advance. The two sides fought fiercely on the border of Jingnan for several days, and the battle eventually came to a stalemate.
At this time, Beijiang and Xiqi simultaneously declared war on Donglin. Beijiang even threatened to capture Sikong Zhan and punish him on the grounds that the regent had leaked court secrets.
As for Xiqi, it seemed like he was just joining in the fun.
What is surprising is that the armies of the three kingdoms all bypassed the Donglin royal family and directly attacked the Jingnan army.
Although the Jingnan Army was brave, it was no match for the enemy. Soon, the Jingnan Army was defeated and besieged by the three countries in the center of Jingnan - Heqing.
Nanzhao took the lead in issuing an ultimatum, threatening to launch a general offensive in three days, vowing to wipe out the Jingnan Army from this continent.
Sikong Ling pressed her belly anxiously. The anxiety of the past few days had cast a shadow over her whole body. The baby in her belly was making a lot of noise, and she hadn't had a good rest for a long time.
"Ling'er, leave this to me, you go and have a rest." Tang Xun embraced Sikong Ling lovingly and stroked her hair gently.
"I am the King of Jingnan. It is my responsibility to protect the Jingnan Army. As long as there is still one person in the Jingnan Army, I will never retreat!" Sikong Ling resolutely opened his tired eyes and rubbed against Tang Xun's arms.
"Thank you, my dear husband. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to make it this far."
"Ling'er!" Tang Xun lowered his eyes and stared at the person in his arms. "Before he left, the prince entrusted the Jingnan Army to me. I have long since made up my mind to live and die with the Jingnan Army. But, Ling'er, you are different. You are still pregnant. You can't let anything happen to you. Be obedient and leave first, okay? Just think of it as for the child!"
"No!" Sikong Ling suddenly broke free from Tang Xun's embrace and met his gaze firmly. "I will never leave. We live together and die together!"
Tang Xun had no choice but to look at her helplessly, rubbing her tired brows distressedly. Finally, all his emotions turned into a faint sigh, "Okay, no matter what happens in three days, we will face it together, live and die together!"
Sikong Ling took a step forward and put her arm around his waist. "Husband, tell me, is it true that my elder brother will never come back?"
Tang Xun was originally very sure that the prince and princess were still alive, but the Jingnan Army was defeated again and again and suffered heavy losses, but they never showed up, and he began to doubt himself.
However, the prince was their backbone and their last hope. No matter how nervous he was, he had to firmly tell everyone that the prince was still alive and he would definitely come back to save them!
Only in this way can the morale of the Jingnan Army remain strong!
"The prince and princess must still be alive. As long as we hold on, we will definitely wait for them to come back!" He told Sikong Ling so, and also told himself solemnly in his heart, which was almost deceiving himself.
But this is the only thing he can do at the moment.
He didn't even dare to think about it. If the prince hadn't returned in three days, would they still be able to defend Heqing against the armies of the three kingdoms?
My Lord, please come back soon. If you don't come back soon, we may not be able to wait for you to come back...
After Sikong Zhan and Lin Jinghan fled the palace, no news was sent back.
The news coming out from the capital and Xingqing vaguely mentioned that Prince Jingnan had used a secret method to save everyone. Therefore, some people spread the rumor that the reason why Prince Jingnan and his wife had not appeared was because Prince Jingnan was attacked by the secret method and died, and Princess Jingnan must have committed suicide for love.
