The messenger outside the house ran over in a panic, shouting, "General, something terrible has happened!"
Xie Zhuangshui laughed out loud and raised his head, jokingly saying, "What happened? Was Xia Houqing attacked by someone, or was his treasure stolen?"
The messenger said that this incident really had nothing to do with Qinghe County. If one had to make a comparison, the matter he was about to report could be said to be a major event that shocked several countries: "General, the army of Beimo has moved!"
Xie Zhuangshui thought he had misheard, so he put away the smile on his face and asked again, "What did you just say?"
The messenger said, "General, Haodu Khan has abdicated. The new Hudu Khan has announced to the world that he will assist the Liang Kingdom in opposing our Nanyue."
Xie Zhuangshui threw the wine glass in his hand at the messenger and roared, "You're talking nonsense!"
Everyone in the room hurriedly said, "General, calm down!"
Xie Zhuangshui slammed the table hard and said, "Give me the military newspaper!"
"yes!"
...One night just half a month ago, Haodu Khan, who had always been cold to Shangguan Bing'er, didn't know what happened, but tonight he actually remembered this princess from Liang State who he was about to forget.
When Haodu Khan arrived at night, there wasn't even a maid guarding Shangguan Bing'er's house. Puzzled, Haodu quietly walked in. When he pushed the door open, he saw Shangguan Bing'er and Hudu hugging each other intimately.
It would be fine if it was someone else, but Haodu never expected that the person coveting his princess at this moment was actually his own brother: "What are you two doing?"
“……!”
Shangguan Bing'er was shocked when she saw Haodu coming. She just stood in front of Hudu and was about to say something, but was pulled behind him by Hudu.
The corners of Hu Du's mouth curled up slightly, as if he wasn't afraid at all that Hao Du would discover the relationship between him and Shangguan Bing'er: "Haha, just as the Khan sees it."
Haodu gnashed his teeth and drew the scimitar from his waist, saying, "Heh, Hudu, although you are my brother, there is a difference between high and low. I am not dead yet."
Hu Du held Shangguan Bing'er's hand and was not afraid at all. Instead, he asked, "Khan, wasn't this how you treated your father Khan in the past?"
Haodu Khan was shocked. He had never mentioned this matter to Hudu before. Even the few people he knew about it had been dealt with thoroughly by him. How did he know about it? "What do you mean, Hudu? Are you threatening me?"
Hu Du said with a smile, "I had originally wanted to let the Khan have a few more days of leisure, but now that he has seen me, I might as well talk it out."
As soon as Hu Du finished speaking, a group of men in black appeared from nowhere and surrounded the three of them. The gleaming blades in their hands made Hao Du think to himself, "What are you trying to do?"
"Don't worry, Khan. After you die, all your concubines, except Bing'er, will be buried with you."
Hu Du's words didn't faze Hao Du much. If he died, Hu Du and Shangguan Bing'er wouldn't be able to live happily ever after. Bei Mo was without a king, but the king's minions would still be there to harass. Hu Du was just bluffing; he definitely wouldn't dare to take action.
However, before Haodu could figure out the whole story to Hudu, Hudu waved his right hand slightly, and the white blades that had just been shining in the air now pierced into his body one by one: "Hudu, you!"
Hu Du stepped heavily on Hao Du several times and comforted the panicked Shangguan Bing'er: "Without the people getting in the way, you don't have to be so nervous anymore."
Shangguan Bing'er's eyes widened as she watched the person who had been standing before her alive just a second ago now dead. The fear in her heart was indescribable. Compared to the present, Shangguan Bing'er was more worried about the future.
Hu Du had never mentioned anything about what happened today to her. Although she knew that he had been quite dissatisfied with Hao Du's actions before, she never expected that he would actually kill him in front of her like this: "...One day, will you do this to me?"
Hu Du placed Shangguan Bing'er's cold hand gently on his chest where his heart was beating, and assured him, "I may not be sure about others, but I will never be sure about you."
Shangguan Bing'er's eyes were filled with tears. She gently leaned her head on Hu Du's chest and whispered, "Thank you, really, thank you."
The group of men in black in the room were also very discerning. Seeing that Hu Du and Shangguan Bing'er still had something to say, they quickly took away Hao Du's body and wiped the floor clean.
After these people closed the door and left, Hu Du hugged Shangguan Bing'er and said, "I once promised you that I would give you the lifelong companionship you desire. When I succeed the Khan, I will tell everyone in the world that you are my only princess in this life."
Shangguan Bing'er shed tears but couldn't help but smile happily: "If you didn't know, you would have thought you were from Daliang."
Hu Du smiled and said, "My mother is from Daliang, my wife is from Daliang, so Daliang can be considered half of my hometown. I will protect your hometown with you."
Although Hu Du's words slightly lightened Shangguan Bing'er's burden, her worries multiplied because of Hao Du's death: "But, after Hao Du's death, will those people in Beimo who originally supported him..."
Hu Du naturally knew what awaited him after Hao Du's death. Since he had already made plans and was fully prepared, nothing would matter: "Don't worry about that. I've already made preparations."
The story of Hu Du and Shangguan Bing'er's marriage is a long one. In this story, the young couple met by chance. For the sake of her family and her own happiness, Shangguan Bing'er chose a man she loved but whose identity was unknown, over a man from the Daliang nobility who disliked her.
In the end, fate had destined the man she had chosen to marry someone else. After the marriage, she saw the man who had suddenly disappeared again. Everything happened so suddenly, yet it seemed just right.
...When word of the sudden change in Beimo reached Xie Zhuangshui, it naturally reached the Qingliang Palace as well. Tang Chen read the secret letter over and over again with trembling hands: "Happiness came too suddenly, I'm a little overwhelmed. It's really unexpected that Hudu would take the initiative to provide assistance to Daliang!"
Hua Wuxin said with great interest, "I've already sent people to find out if Shangguan Bing'er and Hu Du had any previous interactions. We'll have a complete answer in three months."
