Tangled

Chapter 164 End
"As long as you can stop me from dying, that's fine. I'll confess in front of my cousin when I go back. By then, my cousin will only be even more angry."

"You may not be afraid, but you also have wives, daughters, and sisters. At that time, let's see who can be more ruthless."

"Anyway, I only have one life. You have to pay for it with thousands of people. No matter what, it's all my money."

After saying this, there was silence in the prison. Mo Luoyan stared at her for a long time, but finally did not move her.

"I probably know why Gu Tingshu treats you differently."

Such a delicate girl has such a tough character. If she were not an enemy, he would want to marry her back.

A little girl like this would be quite amusing to keep as a little pet.

It's a pity that people can't move.

She was right, if he touched her, Gu Tingshu would never let it go.

I'm not afraid, but the other person is not a good person. He doesn't care about grievances or debts. He is not afraid of death. What he is afraid of is thousands of tortures that are worse than death.

There are so many women and scholars in Tiandu City, so I can't gamble with them.

He was imprisoned for two days. At night, he was suddenly taken away to be cleaned by two women who were as strong as oxen.

When she put on the bright red foreign clothes, Shen Qiqi knew that tomorrow would probably be the last battle.

She did not resist and did whatever the other party said. Even if a poison pill was given to her in the end, she swallowed it without hesitation.

The two mothers-in-law didn't speak a word from beginning to end, and Shen Qiqi didn't say anything either. After the door was closed again, she sat on the couch and slept honestly.

As a daughter, she couldn't escape at all. Even if she was lucky enough to escape, she wouldn't be able to escape far.

It's better to be honest and keep her spirits up. If nothing else happens, tomorrow may be the last time she meets her cousin.

The curtain was heavy, and the cold wind was like a newly awakened beast, roaring wildly outside, disturbing people's peace.

Shen Qiqi forced herself to close her eyes, but no matter how much she pretended to be calm, her trembling body could not deceive anyone at all.

She bit her arm to prevent the sobs from spreading, recalling the past bit by bit so that she could persevere in the cold night in a strange place.

At dawn, when the army was suppressing the formation and retreating steadily, Mo Luoyan held Shen Qiqi on his horse and stood far away from Gu Tingshu.

"Gu Tingshu, tell the army to retreat ten miles, or I will kill her."

"My lord, it's a girl."

"Ash, give the order to retreat."

"Gu Tingshu, that's my sister!"

Several voices sounded at the same time, all of which meant asking him to retreat.

Gu Tingshu sat on the horse and looked at Shen Qiqi across the burning cigarette.

"If you retreat today, you must retreat tomorrow."

As long as Shen Qi is in their hands, they can only give in again and again.

If one life was exchanged for another, he could exchange himself out without hesitation, but not now.

This victory was not won by him alone. The dead soldiers would not agree, and neither would the thousands of people.

Completely defeating the barbarians is what he should do now.

When he didn't speak, Mu Chengze became anxious and reached out to snatch the sword from his hand.

"Ash, that's Shen Qi."

Gu Tingshu turned his head and met Mu Chengze's unreadable eyes.

"Your Highness, one Shen Qi cannot replace several cities. You are the prince and know better than me."

Mu Chengze paused and looked into those emotionless eyes, but he seemed to be overwhelmed by boundless guilt and self-blame.

That's right, one Shen Qi cannot exchange for a city.

If they retreated because of one person today, then they would have failed the entire country, let alone the soldiers who used their flesh and blood to resist the barbarians.The hand that grabbed the sword was trembling and he retracted it. Mu Chengze turned to look at Shen Qi, who was swaying in the wind. There were tears in his eyes, but he could only shake his head weakly.

Shen Jinshi stood aside, judging from their intentions, they no longer cared about Shen Qiqi's life.

No matter how anxious he was, this result could not be changed.

The bright red figure in the wind is the sister they have owed for half their lives. They just wanted to make it up to her, but now it's too late.

"Your Majesty, I will ask for orders to lead people to rescue the girl."

Twelve led the people behind him to kneel down, but Gu Tingshu did not turn around.
If he could go, why would he stand here motionless.

Shen Qi was surrounded by enemy troops, and even if she could break in, she would have become a cold corpse by then.

"Archer ready."

"Ash!"

Knowing what he meant, Mu Chengze opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

"You can't make a move."

If this arrow were shot, he was afraid that he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.

"Come here and submit a letter to Jiangzhou Shen Qi."

"Fight to the death!"

As the words fell, he nocked an arrow and drew the bow. Without giving the other party a chance to react, the sharp arrow broke through the bamboo and shot directly towards Shen Qi's chest.

Mo Luoyan didn't expect that he would make a decision so quickly. He didn't have time to think too much and was about to fall back while holding Shen Qi.

But the originally delicate little girl, who didn't know where the strength came from, actually restrained his movements.

Just when he was about to let go, a sound broke through the air. As soon as he raised his head, the sharp arrow had already pierced the chest of the person in front of him and pierced straight into the heart.

The arrow that wasn't originally fatal was restrained by the person in his arms, and finally became a life-threatening arrow for the two of them.

Shen Qiqi and Mo Luoyan fell to the ground together. Her chest hurt so much that it was difficult for her to even breathe.

The smoke started rising again, and the wind blowing around became stronger and stronger. It was so strong that my whole body was freezing and I could no longer feel any warmth.

She tried to open her eyes, and through the chaotic and fighting crowd, she saw the man riding towards her on horseback.

She twitched the corners of her mouth, originally wanting to smile at him, but she was really powerless.

When she was hugged into someone's arms, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Holding the cold hand with the smell of blood, she coughed twice weakly, looked at him for a few times, and finally weakened.

The beginning was the smell of blood, and the end was still the smell of blood.

But at first she was afraid.

When it was over, she was filled with sadness.

She hasn't said everything on her mind yet, why is this happening?

If she could do it all over again, she would say everything she had hidden in her heart, so that she wouldn't regret it as much as she does now.

Why was it so noisy around? It gave her a headache. It was so noisy that she couldn't hear her cousin.

There were drops of water on the face, which brought a little warmth, but turned cold in the blink of an eye.

Shen Qiqi thought to herself that she would never come to Guanbian again. The wind here was so cold and the rain here was so cold. Her body was almost freezing, but the drop of rain could still escape from where she touched it. It chilled her to the core.

"Ashu..."

Corpses littered the fields, blood flowed like rivers, and the war finally came to an end. Mu Chengze walked over and just opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

He could only follow Gu Tingshu and escort them home.
