Marrying a wife and a concubine together? Wouldn't it be better to divorce and become the queen

The next morning, Feng Qingluan woke up early and Xie Jin had already prepared the personnel and supplies.

When he was leaving, an imperial edict came from the capital.

There was a plague in the Central Plains, and Emperor Xia Ming ordered Feng Qingluan to return to the capital. He did not mention the massacre of the village at all and asked her to go back immediately to resolve the problem.

While the soldiers were fighting abroad, a plague broke out in the country. Emperor Xia Ming ordered that the matter must not be leaked to avoid shaking the morale of the army.

As the crown prince, Xie Yan knew the inside story, and went out of the city with Xie Jin to see Feng Qingluan off.

This time, Feng Qingluan returned to Beijing and took away Shen Wan, Anye and Anfeng, as well as a team of twenty secret guards.

Before leaving, Feng Qingluan looked at Xie Jin:

"Be safe, I'll wait for you to come back."

The people planted by Emperor Xia Ming would probably attack Xie Jin, but she couldn't stay with Xie Jin.

When she returns to the capital, she may be hunted by the snake woman on the way. Both of them are in danger, but they cannot face it together. Feng Qingluan is very worried.

Xie Jin said: "Well, take care of yourself."

Feng Qingluan nodded, whipped the horse's back, and left Seda City.

Xie Yan had been feeling uneasy since he left the city. When he noticed the gaze of someone next to him, he knew that the other person was going to attack him, so he kicked his horse and chased in the direction Feng Qingluan left.

Shen Wan and Miss Feng left, and Jiang Qu looked at them eagerly.

Just when he was feeling lost and worried, he heard Xie Jin say:

"Go and see her off."

Jiang Qu was stunned, then showed joy on his face, and chased after the person who was leaving.

As soon as they left, Xie Jin and Dou Hu took the rest of the people back.

When passing a high mountain pass, suddenly the sound of falling rocks came from the mountains on both sides.

Xie Jin looked up the mountain and saw countless Karen deserters appearing, holding bows and arrows. At the command of the leader, arrows like raindrops shot towards the people below.

Dou Hu shouted: "There is an ambush, protect the prince!"

Although Xie Jin attacked thirteen cities of the Karen Kingdom in a row, not all Karen soldiers were captured or surrendered.

Some of the soldiers who had escaped earlier would occasionally look for opportunities to launch sneak attacks.

This time they took advantage of the opportunity when Xie Jin went out of the city to send Feng Qingluan off, and ambushed him halfway on his way back, preparing to eliminate him here!

Xie Jin had few soldiers with him, and when they saw the enemy ambush, they all protected Xie Jin and resisted the rain of arrows.

When the Karen soldiers had finished firing their arrows, a general shouted:

"Charge! Kill Prince Rong and avenge General Pang!"

Dozens of Karen soldiers rushed down the mountain, surrounded Xie Jin and his men and strangled them.

The other side had more people and more power. Dou Hu threw the sword in his hand towards Xie Jin:

"My Lord, take the sword!"

Xie Jin raised his hand to take it, and the two groups started fighting here!

This time the enemy came prepared, and their numbers were several times greater than theirs. Dou Hu said to Xie Jin:

"Your Majesty, there are too many people on the other side. I will escort you away first."

The other party's target is Xie Jin. If he leaves, these people will chase him and kill him.

Before Xie Jin could answer, his figure suddenly shook. Seeing this, Dou Hu killed several Karen soldiers and went to his side.

"My lord, what's wrong with you?"

Xie Jin's sword fell to the ground. He looked at his hand and glared at Dou Hu with a sharp gaze:

"you......"

Dou Hu's eyes were stern. Xie Jin touched the snake venom he had put on the hilt of his sword. He stopped pretending and said coldly:

“I got hit again!”

He raised his sword and rushed towards Xie Jin!

Xie Jin barely dodged it: "Did you poison me?"

Dou Hu said: "Your internal strength is really strong. You can hold on even after being poisoned by the Thousand Vipers. It's amazing! But my lord, you can't escape today. Being killed by me can reduce your pain. Give up resistance!"

Xie Jin dodged his attack again:

"You're in league with the Snake Woman?"

Dou Hu said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, I am sorry for you! The emperor has captured the lives of 23 people in my family and asked me to go west to kill you. You know, my youngest son is not even a year old, and I cannot let him suffer.

I, Dou Hu, have failed the prince's promotion and cultivation over the years. When I help His Majesty complete the task, I will die to atone for my sins and continue to serve the prince in the afterlife!"

As he said this, Dou Hu's voice choked with sobs, but the sword in his hand still did not let go of Xie Jin.

A member of the Flame Army realized that Dou Hu did not deal with the Karen soldiers but instead wanted to kill their King Rong, so he rushed over and blocked Dou Hu's sword regardless of his life.

"General Dou, are you crazy? Are you actually killing the prince?"

Dou Hu was in great pain:

"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do!"

Then he attacked Xie Jin again.

Seeing that Dou Hu was in a state of panic, the soldier fought back desperately and shouted to Xie Jin:

"Your Majesty, you should get on your horse and leave first. I'm afraid these ambushers were also recruited by Dou Hu. He's crazy!"

The soldier is right.

The Karen soldiers who were lying in ambush here were indeed recruited by Dou Hu.

He told these people that Xie Jin sent Feng Qingluan out of the city today, which was a good opportunity to take his life.

The goal of these desperate criminals was to kill Xie Jin, and when a traitor appeared within the enemy's ranks and informed them, they gladly accepted the information.

Despite being stopped by the soldiers, Xie Jin climbed onto a fast horse and galloped towards the mountain road ahead.

Dou Hu kicked the soldier away and quickly rode on another horse to chase him, trying to persuade him:

"My Lord, please give up resistance. There is no antidote for this snake venom. If you don't resist, I can let you go in peace!"

Last night, while the soldiers were all cheering and having fun, Dou Hu secretly went out to meet the snake girl Zhan Yilu.

During this period of time, Zhan Yilu has been lurking behind the army, waiting for an opportunity to act.

She knew that there was someone arranged by Emperor Xia Ming within the army, and this person would contact her when the time was right.

Xie Jin led his army to capture Seda, the strongest fortified city of the Karen Kingdom. Next, they would go all the way to Anhuai, the capital of the Karen Kingdom, to capture Emperor Tuoba Han.

Xie Jin had done his part and no longer had any reason to live.

Dou Hu thought it was time to take action.

Emperor Xia Ming had told him that the Snake Woman wanted Xie Jin alive, but Emperor Xia Ming's order was to kill Xie Jin without letting the Snake Woman know.

So last night Dou Hu found Zhan Yilu and asked her for poison, saying that he wanted to assassinate Feng Qingluan!

Zhan Yilu had no doubts and gave him the poison of the Thousand Adder, a highly venomous snake for which there is no antidote in the world.

However, an imperial decree from the capital transferred Feng Qingluan away. Zhan Yilu knew that Dou Hu had no chance to poison Feng Qingluan, so she secretly chased after Feng Qingluan.

So she didn't know that Dou Hu contacted the deserters of Karen Kingdom to kill Xie Jin on their way back!

Dou Hu smeared the snake venom on the sword he was holding, and when he was surrounded by the enemy, he gave the sword to Xie Jin.

Xie Jin was completely unaware and was exposed to the snake venom without knowing it. The poison penetrated into his body through his skin. No matter how high his martial arts skills were, he would not be able to hold on for long without an antidote. Now was the best time to kill him!

Dou Hu chased Xie Jin relentlessly.

Seeing that Xie Jin was unable to sit or stand due to poisoning and lying on the horse's back, and not knowing whether he was still conscious, the horse did not return to Seda City, but took Xie Jin to a cliff.

Perhaps realizing that the horse was deviating from the direction, Xie Jin struggled to stop the horse when it was about to reach the cliff.

After Dou Hu caught up, he saw Xie Jin fall off his horse and walked towards him with a sword in his hand. He felt sad and complicated, with guilt in his eyes:

"My Lord, I am sorry for you in this life. In the next life, I will work like a slave to repay you!"

After saying that, he swung his sword and killed Xie Jin!
