Meng Xin clenched his fists and whispered, "Stop talking. I don't need a woman like you to teach me how to do things. But why are you running here instead of staying in the palace? Remember, if anything happens to me, you must let Liu Jin assist Tu'er to ascend the throne and stabilize the Chu Kingdom. Don't let those with ulterior motives take advantage of me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Jin stumbled in and hurriedly shouted:
"King, something bad has happened, little prince..."
Hearing these three words, the queen turned her head and asked in horror:
"What happened to Tuer?"
Liu Jin swallowed his saliva and replied sadly:
"The little prince was captured by the enemy..."
"What?"
Meng Xin swung his sleeves and said angrily:
"Isn't he with you? How did he get captured?"
Liu Jin lowered his head in annoyance and replied hesitantly:
"He said... he said the enemy commander was still seriously injured and would be recuperating in the tent. Furthermore, the enemy's defense would be lax at this time. He wanted to capture the leader first, so I... I let him go."
"That's nonsense."
Meng Xin glared at him with anger in his eyes, breathing heavily, and his chest kept heaving, probably because he was too anxious.
The queen suddenly rushed forward and grabbed him, crying at the top of her lungs.
"Meng Xin, if you don't rescue Tu'er today, I will hate you forever..."
After saying this, she staggered outside. Seeing this, Sina hurriedly followed her.
Meng Xin did not dare to delay. He angrily picked up his sword, with a dark face, and followed Liu Jin out of the tent.
At this time, Letu was tied up on the back of a horse, with two long swords pointing at him on his left and right sides. If he moved even a little, he would be in danger of being killed.
The queen broke through the crowd, crying, "Tuer, Tuer..."
As he was about to run towards Letu, Sina, who was following closely behind him, hurriedly pulled him back and said, "Aunt, don't be impulsive. You will hurt Letu."
When Liu Dechang, who was riding on horseback, saw Xina through the moonlight, he looked at Luo Lan in surprise. He thought he was dazzled. How could this woman look exactly like his daughter?
Next, Meng Yue, who learned the news, also hurried out. When Liu Dechang, who was still in shock, saw Meng Yue, he opened his mouth in disbelief and rubbed his eyes hard.
The moment he saw Meng Yue, Luo Lan looked directly at Liu Dechang, rode up to him, and asked softly:
"Dad, that woman is the one pretending to be my mother."
At this moment, Liu Dechang had no intention of answering her. Instead, he stared at the familiar face in horror. The eyes of this man who had fought on the battlefield for many years were actually red.
From his expression, Luo Lan seemed to realize something. She turned to look at the woman. Meng Yue, who had just seen Liu Dechang, also stood there in a daze, staring at him. In just a moment, she was already in tears.
But before Liu Dechang could ask the countless questions in his mind, and Meng Yue had no time to say a word to him, the sound of horse hooves came hurriedly.
The appearance of Meng Xin broke the tranquility here. He rode over, pointed his sword at Leng Yu, and roared with his eyes wide open:
"Leng Yu, you are so despicable, quickly release the picture."
Leng Yu looked at Meng Xin's anxious expression and chuckled slowly:
"All is fair in war. The young prince of Chu wanted to attack me by surprise, but he didn't expect to be subdued by my wife. Now you accuse us of being despicable? You are really turning the tables."
Meng Xin half-closed his eyes and looked at Le Tu who was looking at him with pitiful eyes, gnashing his teeth and breathing heavily and nodded.
"Okay, if you release Tuer, I'm willing to be your prisoner..."
As soon as he said this, Liu Jin, who was standing beside him, hurriedly spoke out to stop him.
"Your Majesty, you must not... If you become a prisoner, all our efforts will be in vain..."
Meng Xin, however, seemed to have lost his soul. He shook his head vigorously, with a bitter face, and said in a deep voice:
"I only have one son, Tuer, and I cannot put him in danger."
Leng Yu looked at Meng Xin with deep eyes, and said sternly with a cold frown:
"Meng Xin, surrender! As long as you raise your hands and surrender, I promise not to hurt you in the slightest..."
"Hahaha……"
Meng Xin suddenly raised his head and laughed, "Surrender? Leng Yu, my people have already taken control of your Daning Kingdom's capital. You ask me to surrender? I think you should surrender."
Hearing this, the bound Le Tu suddenly shouted:
"Father, how about this? Let them release us, and we, the Chu people, will withdraw from the capital. From now on, there will be no more war between the two countries..."
"impossible……"
Meng Xin waved his hands vigorously and shouted in a harsh voice:
"The war between the two countries has lasted for more than ten years, and you say there will be no more war? That's simply a daydream..."
At this time, Meng Yue broke free from Xina's pull, and walked step by step to Meng Xin. She looked at him with tears in her eyes, and screamed loudly with tears in her voice:
"Meng Xin, you went to war with the Daning Kingdom because of me. I beg you, surrender. Look at those brothers who died and were injured. They are also flesh and blood, but they are dying because of this endless war. This war has claimed too many lives. It's time to stop."
Meng Xin looked at her from the side. This face that he loved so much in the past now seemed very unfamiliar to him.
His eyes flickered several times in succession, and suddenly he snorted coldly.
"Are you still thinking about that man?"
As he said this, he looked up at Liu Dechang not far away, and the fire of anger in his eyes seemed to be about to burst out.
Meng Yue followed his gaze and looked at Liu Dechang who was standing there in a daze, and suddenly gave him a bitter smile.
When Liu Dechang saw this smile, his red eyes immediately shed two lines of tears.
He stretched out his hand and murmured as if awake from a dream:
"Xiaoling? Are you still alive?"
Meng Yue looked at him, revealing a tragic smile, and then replied with a smile as beautiful as a flower:
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lived in vain for so many years. I shouldn't have caused two countries to fight because of me. I'm sorry!"
After she finished speaking, a trace of blood suddenly spit out from the corner of her mouth. Seeing this, Liu Dechang shouted, "Xiaoling..." and jumped off his horse and rushed towards her. At the same time, Meng Xin had already taken the lead and hugged her who was about to fall to the ground, shaking his head and shouting with tears in his eyes.
"Xiaoyue, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?
Meng Yue looked up at Meng Xin, and discussed with a sad look in her eyes,
"Surrender. This is my last plea to you. Otherwise, I will never be at peace even if I die."
Looking at the woman in his arms, Meng Xin suddenly yelled. Liu Dechang also came to his side at this time. He wanted to reach out to hug Meng Yue, but was stopped by Meng Xin.
"Stop, you can't touch her."
