I stood numbly on the cliff, letting the wind blow by, cooling my fingertips without feeling anything. The words Luosh just said were like thunderbolts in the clear sky, completely shocking me.<

/p>

Have I ever been deposed? Relegated to the cold palace?

Even my salary has been cut, and my life is worse than that of a pig or a dog...?

I am a person who is worse than a palace maid?

"No...it can't be..." I shook my head and murmured: "How could it be like this? How could it be like this? I don't believe it, what you said is not true."

Losch looked at me with a sneer: "Really?"

"If I was really deposed and relegated to the cold palace, how could I be pregnant with his child? How could I be in Yangzhou? How could this happen?"

Luo Shi sneered and said: "I don't know these things. Your news is just what I heard from Yuan Xiu. I don't care what happened to you. If you really want to know, you should find the answer yourself.

, instead of asking me."

"..."

His words were very cold, piercing into someone's chest like an ice edge, but they calmed down my emotions that were about to burst.

He is right. Since I woke up from amnesia, I have received very little information about my past. It was all from that person's mouth. If he wanted to lie to me, it would be very easy. I want to know that I have to tell myself

Go check it out, and if you want to check it out, you have to go back!

Thinking of this, I gradually calmed down and turned to look to the south, the distant Dongzhou. But at this moment, I wanted to see the south of Dongzhou, the part of Texas that had not been invaded by the war.

My daughter is still there, and now that I have been arrested, I don’t know when I can go back.

I turned my head to look at Luo Shi and said, "Since you said that I have no status in the emperor's heart, what's the use of arresting me? Do you really think he will use that - Nangong

Miss, would you like to exchange for me?"

Luosh glanced at me, with a smile on his lips, but said nothing.

Although he didn't speak, I already understood what he meant - it was impossible.

"If that's the case, then I-it's useless for you to arrest me."

"That's not necessarily the case."

"...!"

I was stunned and looked at him in astonishment. I saw Luo Shi's resolute eyes looking towards Dongzhou, like an eagle soaring in the sky, looking at the prey he was determined to win, and murmured: "Maybe, you will be useful.

”

What?

I looked at him puzzled, and saw Luosh wave his hand, and a general came up behind him immediately: "What are your orders from the prince?"

"Immediately pass my message to Dongzhou and ask the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty to send Nangong Lizhu back in exchange for this woman. Otherwise -" he said, glanced at me from the corner of his eyes, and revealed a little sneer: "I will let him

I will never see this woman again."

I suddenly opened my eyes wide in shock.

Does he really want to trade me for Nangong Lizhu? But he clearly knows that I have no place in the emperor's heart, so why would he say such a thing? "I will never see this woman again." What does this sentence mean? Could it be -

—If the emperor really doesn’t return Miss Nangong, will he kill me?

The fear of death is like the gloomy sky above my head, weighing heavily on my heart.

In the next two days, I was like a person sleeping on the edge of a cliff, not knowing what would greet me next moment.

Maybe, I already know, I'm just afraid to face it.

Although the days are difficult, three days is not too long.

In the early morning of this day, I finished dressing up and walked out of the camp as usual, only to find that almost everyone had come out. Lose, General Ba, and Butu were all sitting around a bonfire. Everyone saw me coming out.

When I did it, the expression on my face was a little strange.

I remained silent and said nothing, but Butu waved to me: "Come."

I walked over and he brought me a bowl of porridge as usual. I can't get used to greasy barbecue, so he has been taking care of me like this these days.

I was holding the bowl of porridge and was about to drink it when I heard Luosh's sneer voice: "From now on, you still have to get used to the food on the grassland."

"...What does it mean?"

He cut off a piece of roasted lamb leg and put it into his mouth. Without looking at me, he chewed and said, "They refused to exchange Nangong Lizhu for you."

Bang!

The bowl in my hand suddenly fell down, and the hot porridge spilled all over the floor, making a squeaking sound when it was poured on the flame.

I could no longer feel the burning pain on the instep, only a sense of depression that was heavier than the hazy sky above my head came to my heart. After a long time, I said "oh" and then leaned down to pick up the wooden bowl on the ground.<

/p>

Luo Shi looked at me with interest: "That's it?"

I squeezed the wooden bowl, and my nails almost dug into it. I used a lot of strength to calm myself down, but only I knew that some things were broken, just like my voice: "Otherwise...what?"
p>

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you, make your body look ugly, and then send it back to your emperor?"

I thought about it, shook my head and said, "You don't know how."

He killed Chang Qing on the battlefield and treated Chang Qing's body like that. Later, they withdrew and took away Chang Qing's body. I thought that the body would be miserable by them, but when I came here, I discovered that they

He actually made a coffin, placed Chang Qing's body in it, and placed it there respectfully.

Insulting Chang Qing's body was to undermine the enemy's morale on the battlefield. This is a strategy used by any party in the war, but privately, they still respect men like Chang Qing. Because of this, I have a feeling in my heart

I feel inexplicably relieved that life here is not difficult.

It's just that this moment is more difficult than ever, because of the powerlessness and anger - my life is in the hands of others, but others give up so easily.

Luo Shi said: "Since you think I can't do it, what are you afraid of?"

I said: "Besides death, there are many things in this world that are more terrifying than death. My daughter is still young and can't even call her mother. If I really die, I will die with my eyes open."

He raised his eyebrows and said: "Actually, I'm not interested in breaking up you and your daughter, but it's a pity that-"

"What's a pity?"

"It's a pity that they made the wrong choice."

"..."

My heart suddenly tightened, and I raised my head and looked at him almost desperately. Losch slowly raised his hand. I looked at his thick arms and fingers with thick joints. That hand might be able to lift it without any effort.

He broke my neck and closed my eyes. At this moment, I saw Butu frowning slightly behind him, as if he was hesitating about something.

However, the expected killing move did not come, and Luosh suddenly said: "Here comes someone."

I opened my eyes in shock, and saw General Ba and Butu immediately stepping forward and looking at Luo Shi respectfully. Luo Shi said word by word: "Withdraw troops!"

I never imagined that Losch would actually let an army of 400,000 people retreat!

The battle has reached this point, and Shengjing and the imperial court are actually spending a lot of money. Even if he has lost the opportunity, Huang Tianba has come to Dongzhou to restrain him. If this battle continues, he will not gain much advantage.

But withdrawing troops at this time is really not a choice that someone like Lose would make.

But why did he withdraw his troops?

But despite being frightened, my life was saved. It turned out that what he said before to prevent them from seeing me again was to take me back to Shengjing. In this way, maybe the people of the Celestial Dynasty would never really be able to see me again.

See you again.

But even if I save my life, my mood is not much lighter. As a result, I will never be able to see Li'er again. My daughter is not even half a year old. Maybe she still hasn't remembered who her mother is.

, and I will lose her forever.

Thinking of this, my heart hurts like being cut by a knife.

However, although it is painful, I am not desperate. As long as people are still alive, there are countless possibilities.

I was escorted by them to the north. The terrain of Yunling was difficult, and the mountains that stretched for tens of miles were steep and rugged. The team walked in the valley and looked at the towering mountains on both sides. Every night, it reminded me of hunting for food.

Tiger and ferocious beast.

After walking for a day, Losch suddenly sent an order, asking General Ba to lead a group of troops to turn around and go to the rear.

After he issued this order, he called General Ba into the camp. After giving instructions for a long time, General Ba came out. He looked a little strange and even glanced at me.

I have a vague feeling that Losch's purpose of withdrawing his troops this time does not seem to be simple.

In the next two or three days, our huge team also slowed down and moved slowly through the rugged mountains. The further north we went, the colder the weather became, and my body gradually became too much. Fortunately, Butu was able to

They took extra care of me on the road, but the pressure on my heart could not be alleviated.

Two days later, General Ba sent someone back to report that the Celestial Empire had indeed sent a team northward into the Yunling area, and had already had an encounter with their team, with each suffering casualties.

Luosh stood at the door of the camp. The bonfire in the distance danced in the night, casting a thick shadow on his tough and handsome face. I couldn't see the expression on his face, only his eyes.

Like an eagle: "What now?"

"Going back to the prince, General Ba has been defeated and is retreating."
