But there was still a strong sense of vigilance in Luo Shuang's eyes. She had experienced too many things during this period of time.

Deception, betrayal, escape, hunger and cold, displacement...

In a short period of time, I experienced the saddest and most tragic thing in my life.

Even if she was still a delicate and naive princess, she had grown up, and an important sign of growth was that she no longer trusted anyone easily.

General Si Chen is dead.

In the process of escaping, all you can see is the flash of swords and sabers. Who would care if there is someone secretly leading everyone to kill each other...

Leng Shiyi's words seemed to be reasonable, but when you think about it carefully, there is no evidence to prove them.

But what was his purpose in doing this? If he took one more step, he could kill himself.

Do you still need to use your identity?

The only thing that is useful to me now is my identity as a fugitive princess!

Capture me and hand me over to Duke Dingguo in exchange for a better future; or use me as a hostage to threaten Duke Dingguo; or simply turn myself into a plaything to cater to the special hobbies of some nobles...

Perhaps, the order he received was not to kill himself, but to capture himself alive.

Luo Shuang looked at Doug who was ready to die calmly, and many ways of using her flashed through her mind. She bit her lip tightly. She knew that killing Leng Shi and then escaping alone was the best option. No matter what conspiracy the other party had, it could be easily resolved.

But looking at Leng Shi, who was waiting to die in sorrow but still full of energy, she knew that she had no chance. Once she had the intention to kill, what would be waiting for her would be a blow like a storm.

Moreover, she was injured and almost exhausted. She was not sure if she could fight a killer who made killing his profession under such circumstances.

not to mention.

Even if she could really kill Leng Shi, it would be impossible for her to walk out of the forest given her current physical condition.

She can't die.

She also wants to avenge her father and brother and take back the Qingwu Kingdom.

At the very least, I can't die here in obscurity and perish together with a killer.

She wants to survive.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, the man in front of her was her only chance to survive. Once she recovered from her injuries, she would have a chance to escape from him...

"He Xu, what are you talking about? General Si Chen is loyal to his country, how could I kill his soldiers just to save my own life? If I kill you, I will not be able to face my father and General Si in my grave!"

Luo Shuang sighed and put away the dagger. "Get up, Mr. He. I believe you. If you wanted to kill me, you would have killed me long ago. Why would you go to so much trouble to deceive me again?"

Damn it!

What a great actor!

Doug was moved, his eyes sparkled, and he said excitedly: "Princess, are you willing to believe me?"

"Of course." Luo Shuang forced a smile and shook her head. "I don't think a princess of a fallen country is worth deceiving you. Killing me and taking my head back will be enough for you to be promoted to the next level in Longya. There is no need for you to reveal your identity. If I don't even trust you, who else can I trust? I have nothing left."

"No, Princess, you are not completely lost. You still have me." Duger stood up again, picked up the long sword on the ground, put it back into the sheath, and said righteously, "There are still tens of thousands of people in Qingwu Kingdom waiting for salvation. Fourth Princess, although I am not very talented and knowledgeable, I am still willing to sacrifice my life for your country's restoration..."

"..." Luo Shuang looked at Leng Shi, who suddenly stood up, looking refreshed, as if he was not injured at all. The medicine she took out to win people's hearts suddenly stopped in the air. For a moment, she felt creepy and her heart was pounding fast.

At this moment, there was only one thought left in her mind.

He was not hurt.

It's all a lie.

Fortunately, she didn't kill anyone.

Swallowing lightly, Luo Shuang asked tentatively: "Mr. He, how are you injured?"

"It's just a blood bag." Du Ge smiled and said frankly, "It was a temporary measure to test the princess. Although I am loyal to Qingwu Country, I am not pedantic. Just now, if the fourth princess had abandoned me, or really killed me.

"..." Luo Shuang's face turned pale.

"But the princess not only did not leave alone, she also took out medicine to save her subordinates, which is enough to prove that the princess is a kind-hearted person and worthy of He Xu's following." Du Ge looked at Luo Shuang with relief, "He Xu is also for the future of Qingwu Country, please forgive me, princess."

"..." Luo Shuang's hands and feet were cold, and a thousand horses were roaring through her heart. Since ancient times, only monarchs have tested their subjects, but never subjects have tested their monarchs. You are a disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust person.

But for some reason, after He Xu stated his reasons, Luo Shuang's suspicion of him actually decreased a little.

She took a deep breath and calmed down: "Mr. He is really a thoughtful person!"

"Princess, you are too kind." Douge smiled. "If I hadn't been careful, how could I have been sent to Chongming as an undercover agent by General Si Chen? If I hadn't been so careful, how could I have caused Longya and the guards to perish together, and only the princess and I would have been left? If there had been a mistake in any of the links, either the princess or I would have died. How could it have been so perfect as it is now, where we have eliminated the spy and ensured the princess's safety, and ended up with the best of both worlds."

Listening to his boastful talk, Luo Shuang really didn't know how to respond.

to be honest.

If she didn't have to rely on the guy in front of her, she would have wanted to stab him to death.

Killing all the guards around you, not even leaving a maid, leaving yourself with no one to use, is this what you call having the best of both worlds?

This is clearly called cutting the grass at its roots!

Taking a deep breath, Luo Shuang bowed to Doug: "In this case, Luo Shuang will rely on Mr. He from now on."

"You are too polite, Princess." Duger clasped his fists, "I am a Qingwu countryman in life and a Qingwu country ghost in death. I will be loyal to Qingwu country all my life. I will do my best to help Princess restore her country. This loyalty is witnessed by heaven and earth..."

"Okay, I get it." Luo Shuang's head was slightly swollen. "Mr. He, there are only two of us left now. Don't talk about Qingwu Country anymore, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

"I understand," said Doug. After some operations, he had initially won Luo Shuang's trust. After repeatedly showing his loyalty, his injuries had long been healed, and his attributes had also increased to a certain extent.

The true energy in the body is also gradually recovering.

Compared with the previous alien battlefield, the cultivation system in this world is much more complicated. Warriors cultivate true energy, sorcerers cultivate magic power, and there are professions similar to mages who can draw on the power of heaven and earth for their own use. There are also professions such as beastmasters and alchemists.

Moreover, there are not only humans, but also monsters and the like.

Various occupations and races compete with each other to make up this colorful world.

"Princess, what are your plans next?" Doug asked.

"According to the established plan, I will first go to Qinglan Sword Sect to meet my master, and then ask him to lobby the Emperor of Chongming Kingdom and ask him to send troops to help me restore my country." Luo Shuang said.

Doug looked at Luo Shuang and fell silent.

"Mr. He, do you think there is something wrong with my plan?" Luo Shuang asked.

It's more than just a problem, it's a big problem.

Qinglan Sword Sect.

It is one of the eight most powerful sects in the world. Every sect leader is titled Qinglan Sword Saint, and their personal strength is enough to influence the fate of a country.

Each country also likes to send its princes and princesses to these sects to learn skills, in order to maintain relations with the big sects. The big sects also need the resources of the royal family, and the two hit it off.

However, the princes and princesses were born into noble families, and they learned how to govern a country by fighting for power. Few of them were willing to put in the effort to learn martial arts. For them, entering a larger sect was just a way to gain a gilded reputation.

It sounds good to say that you are the disciple of a certain sword master.

But in the final analysis, he was just a nominal disciple.

There are at least eighty princes and princesses under the name of Qinglan Sect, if not a hundred, just like the descendants of Prince Jing of Zhongshan, the Emperor Liu Bei’s great uncle.

A princess from a fallen country, with no friends or money, why would a great sword master help you? What's the benefit of helping you? Just because you have a big face or good looks? This guy is desperate! "Fourth Princess, let's survive first and consider other things later!" Du Ge sighed, looked at Luo Shuang, and said, "No one from Longya will go back to report this time, I'm afraid they will send a second wave of people to assassinate her. Duke Dingguo will definitely not let the princess live. We have to overcome these two difficulties..."
