Before them stood a burly man with a thick beard and a refined-looking, fair-skinned general.
The number of enemies they killed could be piled up into a mountain.
This is a rare talent in the South!
Perhaps His Highness simply forgot to mention it?
The parchment scroll, who had a knack for being a sycophant, decisively dragged the dying General Meng and Shen Ci into the hidden city.
There were two more people in the hidden city, and Gu Mu couldn't possibly not know that.
Upon seeing the dying General Meng and Shen Ci,
He frowned, knowing that the situation in the capital was no longer optimistic.
He had the parchment scroll recount the situation in the capital.
Then they spurred their horses even faster and hurried towards the capital.
Although General Meng and Shen Ci are on the verge of death, they may not necessarily be beyond saving.
Hidden City had some medicine stored there. Gu Mu had his assassins bandage the two men and keep a close eye on their condition.
If anything goes wrong, take immediate action.
Because the parchment scroll acted on its own initiative, it ended up saving two great generals from the Southern Kingdom.
Gu Mu thought that this parchment scroll had a high level of comprehension.
"Well done." His cold voice rang out in the air above Hidden City as he praised the parchment scroll, posing as the city lord of Hidden City.
The parchment scroll immediately perked up its four corners happily.
For the first time... I received praise from my master's master.
And at this moment...
Although the parchment scroll saved General Meng and Shen Ci,
But the capital city... is also in grave danger.
It's impossible to save everyone.
Firstly, the Hidden City Fortress cannot contain it.
Secondly, Gu Mu is not a saint.
What he cares about is whether the Southern Kingdom can gradually become stronger.
Not the individual people of the South.
Some sacrifices are inevitable in history.
"The city gates of the capital have been breached."
Inside the Prince's mansion, Shen Ling heard the person outside deliver this news with a choked voice.
She remained expressionless, raising her sleeve to cover her face.
When I moved it away, my face was covered in tears.
She saw the scene of the country's destruction twice, the first time as a dead soul.
This time, however, I experienced it firsthand.
Could it be that... the Southern Kingdom is destined to perish?
But this time... it came even faster than last time.
The fighting outside?
How could Chen Ling not hear it?
But... she was powerless to change the tragedy of her family's destruction and her country's demise.
"Your Highness..." Shen Ling looked at the city gate with a desolate expression: "Are you still alive?"
She didn't believe His Highness would desert.
Based on her understanding of His Highness, he wouldn't do something he wasn't sure of.
But at this moment, His Highness had not yet appeared.
Could it be that...
Shen Ling has such faith in His Highness that she would never abandon the world under such circumstances.
Because she had accompanied His Highness to Jiangnan for disaster relief.
She knew what kind of person His Highness was.
The prince in this life is indeed different from the prince in the previous life.
Shen Ling raised her sleeves, revealing her bare feet.
Countless poisonous insects slipped out of her dance costume and crawled down her bare feet toward the outside of the room.
This... is probably the last contribution she can make to this country.
Outside the room, she could hear the cries of the people and the sounds of clashing swords...
The enemy is at the city gates.
Even the servants in the Prince's mansion screamed in fear, wanting to find a place to hide so they could survive the war.
Shen Ling never thought of escaping.
She has ways to protect herself.
However, she used all these self-defense methods to fight against the enemies outside.
These poisonous insects... it's good if they can kill a few more enemies.
"I have lived my whole life...for Your Highness..."
"If Your Highness..."
"If it never happens again..."
"I was already a dying woman, I am just going to the place I was meant to go."
Shen Ling smiled softly, a tear sliding down her neck from the corner of her eye.
She raised her dancing sleeves.
Even in the last moment of life,
We should also live a beautiful life.
Outside, war raged, but inside the room, Chen Ling, barefoot and with a calm expression, danced a breathtakingly beautiful dance.
Dance finished.
She pushed open the door to the room.
Standing barefoot outside the attic,
They watched as the civilians outside were slaughtered by the people of the Eagle Kingdom.
She raised the short sword in her hand, intending to commit suicide.
Just then, she suddenly saw a familiar figure.
His Highness, spear in hand, rode forth with countless soldiers, having come from outside the capital.
For a moment, those British soldiers were like turtles in a jar.
Shen Ling slowly lowered the short sword in her hand, her eyes gradually brightening: "Your Highness..."
Gu Mu also noticed what was happening to Shen Ling. He leaped off his horse and landed next to Shen Ling, wrapping his arms around her waist.
Gu Mu lowered his head, inhaling the fragrance of Chen Ling's hair, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm back!"
Shen Ling felt a tremor in her waist.
Although being held in Gu Mu's arms felt completely unfamiliar, this sensation was still strange.
But... there was a strange sense of security.
She looked up and smiled slightly, her eyes sparkling. She said firmly, "Yes."
She believed that once His Highness arrived, there would be no danger.
Because Gu Mu leaped into the air
Everyone in the capital noticed Gu Mu's arrival.
In addition, hundreds of thousands of soldiers arrived in the capital and began massacring the British soldiers.
The people were all greatly encouraged.
"His Highness is here! His Highness is here! We're saved!"
"Excellent! Your Highness, kill these lackeys!"
