The system always wants me to fall in love

Chapter 231 Cutting the Rope
"Let the princess go, and I'll let you go."

He Zhengrong narrowed his eyes, looking at Gu Qingyang with killing intent.

Gu Qingyang's back was straight, without any fear.

"General, we are not three-year-old children." His retreat has not been arranged yet, so how can he let people go so easily.

"I'll give you time to put the bridge back up."

"When I cross the bridge, the princess will be safe and sound." Gu Qingyang was certainly not stupid.

“Okay, you inform them and I’ll build a bridge here.

The two reached a consensus, and Gu Qingyang passed the letter via flying pigeon.Soon he received news from the State of Wu and agreed to re-build the bridge.

However, it will take time to build the bridge and it is estimated that it will take three days to complete.

Pingxia, Gu Qingyang and others rested for a while in Zuocheng.

Three days passed quickly, and the wooden bridge was rebuilt.

Gu Qingyang sent a supervisor to the bridge. As soon as the bridge was completed, he couldn't wait to inform Gu Qingyang.

After Gu Qingyang got the news, he packed his bags with his men.

Ping Xia ended her quiet and peaceful life, and was held hostage by Gu Qingyang again to the bridge.

The bridge was reconnected, five to sixty meters away.

He Zhengrong and his soldiers were stationed at the bridge. There were also many soldiers standing on the opposite side of the bridge, who seemed to have come specifically to pick up Gu Qingyang.

"You let the princess go, and I'll let you cross the bridge safely."

In the past three days, He Zhengrong wanted to wait for an opportunity to rescue Ping Xia, but the servants around Gu Qingyang were all first-class masters.

Ordinary people have no way to get close, but He Zhengrong wants to fight but is afraid that Gu Qingyang will hurt Pingxia.

"General, we gentlemen agree that I will never hurt the princess."

"As long as I cross the bridge safely, the princess will be safe and sound again."

The two were in a stalemate for a while, and He Zhengrong could only compromise.

Gu Qingyang slowly stepped onto the wooden bridge step by step with fear of Ping Xia. He Zhengrong did not dare to make any move due to Ping Xia's safety.

On the other side of the bridge, the imperial envoy from Wu Guo who came to welcome Gu Qingyang also stepped onto the bridge.

The imperial envoy over there was followed by a large group of soldiers. He Zhengrong frowned and wanted to take the opportunity to cross the bridge secretly.

"General, what should we do?"

On the other side of the bridge, the soldiers guarding the bridge were very anxious when they saw it.

"Go and mobilize troops." He Zhengrong said, and Liu Feng, who was next to him, left to go to the barracks to mobilize troops.

The wooden bridge is very narrow and can only accommodate two people, and it cannot bear much weight.

Wu State doesn't dare to attack too many people at once. It should be possible to mobilize some soldiers to handle it.

"Gu Qingyang, it's not kind of you to do this."

Ping Xia looked at the soldiers passing by him one by one, feeling a little depressed.

It doesn't feel good to be threatened like this, so I need to think of a way.

"Sorry, I didn't know they would do that."

Gu Qingyang shrugged, he didn't expect that this should be his father's idea and he couldn't refuse.

"Hmph, despicable."

Ping Xia snorted and noticed that the wooden bridge was shaking a bit.

Because the bridge can only allow two people to walk side by side, now Gu Qingyang just stood behind her and didn't hold her with a dagger.

So now that Gu Qingyang was not threatening her, Ping Xia turned around and grabbed his shoulder while he was not paying attention.

Then the body tilted to one side and the wooden bridge began to shake.

"Princess···"

Before Gu Qingyang could utter his words, he even threw Ping Xia's body into the sea.

He Zhengrong at Qiaotou has been watching Pingxia's movements, and seeing Pingxia fall into the sea, his heart immediately twitches.

"After I cross the bridge, I cut the rope."
