The princess is killing like crazy again

"Really?" Yi Yan sighed, "It's because you're beautiful, Princess, that I told you so much. If it were someone else, I would have killed him long ago and not wasted my time."

He nodded with a smile, "But it's okay to kill him now, so go ahead."

Following his order, the large number of people he brought with him immediately rushed forward.

Yi Yan turned around leisurely and walked to the back to sit down.

"Tell me after you're done killing. I can't bear to see such a bloody scene." He said lightly.

The people brought by Xiao Yurong had been killed to a very small number and were soon slaughtered.

In the end, the only two people left were Cui Ci Ning and Xiao Yu Rong.

Cui Ci Ning seized the opportunity, pushed Xiao Yurong into the room, and blocked the door himself.

Xiao Yurong was suddenly stabbed with a hidden knife from behind, and was caught off guard by Cui Ci Ning and pushed into the room.

"Cui Qining!" Xiao Yurong knelt down at the door, banged on it, and shouted, "What are you doing? Let me out!"

"If I die, seize the opportunity and escape." Cui Ci Ning leaned against the door, panting and whispering.

He had killed countless people and his body was covered in blood, and it was no longer possible to tell whose blood it was.

Is it the enemy's? Or your own?

Those people looked at him, holding their weapons in fear and not daring to move forward.

Cui Ci Ning was obviously at the end of his strength as he had been fighting bloody battles for too long.

But no one dared to step forward. No one knew whether Cui Ci Ning could still take someone's life, and no one wanted to die in vain under the knife.

The situation was at a stalemate, so the subordinate went to report to Yi Yan: "Military Advisor! There is only one person left by the princess' side!"

"Cui Mingyang from Yinzhou?" Yi Yan read out the name meaningfully.

He asked faintly, "Have we reached Cui Ci Ning yet?"

He stood up and walked to the front himself. "It looks like this is the last line of defense. Let's go together and break through it quickly."

Cui Ci Ning protected Xiao Yurong outside the door until the last moment, and anyone who dared to come forward was killed cleanly and efficiently by Cui Ci Ning.

His attitude of killing gods if he sees them and ghosts if he meets them makes people tremble with fear.

The people brought by Yi Yan gritted their teeth and dared not get close, "He is simply..."

"You can't even take care of yourself, and you still have to take care of a weak and sick princess." Yi Yan sneered and shook his head, "Why bother?"

Cui Ci Ning's breathing became heavier. He held the knife tightly and leaned against the door, like it was the last line of defense.

His armor was covered in blood, as was his sword.

Now even when he was kneeling, he needed to use his knife to support himself on the ground.

"Ha..." Cui Ci Ning laughed and stood up, leaning on his knife.

The people surrounding him stepped back a few steps fearfully with their weapons in hand, fearing that he would make a last-ditch effort.

Cui Ci Ning felt the door behind him shaking even more violently.

"Cui Mingyang!" Xiao Yurong's voice came.

Cui Ci Ning tightly gripped the hilt of the knife, raised his eyes and looked at the nervous people in front of him, his gaze was firm, like sparks.

"As long as I'm alive, don't even think about getting past me," he said.

"Well, then shoot the arrow." Yi Yan said lightly.

"Cui Ci Ning!" Xiao Yurong shouted in shock and anger upon hearing the voice.

She banged on the door desperately, trying to break it open, but Cui Ci Ning blocked her way.

Xiao Yurong heard the sound of an arrow breaking through the air, the sound of a sharp weapon penetrating into flesh and blood, the increasingly faint gasps, and the sound of blood dripping.

And a very soft "go".

……

The military intelligence was reported urgently from eight hundred miles away and reached the emperor's desk.

The scouts rode at full speed all night long and finally delivered the battle report from Pingnan to Yujing.

The battle report reported that General Xiao Yurong defeated the King Wen, but disappeared after taking control of Pingnan.

"Where is Zhaoyang? Where is my daughter?!" Emperor Xiao was furious and overturned the table in front of all the civil and military officials. "What a bunch of rubbish! With so many people, they actually lost Zhaoyang!"

Huo Zhao took a step back with a pale face, "Missing..."

Wang Fuxuan's face was grim. "Missing? How could he be missing?"

Liu Pinjue frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty!" Xiao Yuxie said hurriedly, "There is no way Zhaoyang could have disappeared without a word. It must be the remnants of King Wen in Pingnan City who are causing trouble!"

Xiao Yusheng nodded, "Yes, I hope Your Majesty will investigate thoroughly!"

"Your Majesty, Princess Zhaoyang is probably, probably..." the officials said tremblingly, "She is in great danger!"

An official said: "It is better to erect a monument for the princess and decide on a posthumous title as soon as possible, so that the princess can rest in peace in the imperial mausoleum!"

"Shut up!" Emperor Xiao was furious and kicked the official who had just spoken. "There is no news from Zhaoyang. How dare you, a bunch of ministers, say such things? Are you cursing my daughter?!"

He was so angry that his long-term illness made his body feel worse and he started coughing, covering his mouth.

"Your Majesty, please pay attention to the Holy Body!" the ministers tried to comfort him.

"Find him for me!" Emperor Xiao said angrily, "If he's alive, I want him. If he's dead, I want his body!"

The minister asked, "I have an important question for your majesty. Since General Cui was accompanying the princess, why didn't he protect her?"

It would have been fine if this had not been mentioned, but once this was mentioned Emperor Xiao became even angrier.

He threw the battle report in his hand down, "Cui Qining is dead! He is dead!"

"Zhaoyang was ambushed, Cui Qining protected the emperor and was hit by hundreds of arrows!" Emperor Xiao roared with red eyes.

The whole court was in uproar.

Dead, dead?

Cui Ci Ning is actually dead?

Cui Ci Ning was a young genius who was able to conquer the Wolf's Lair on his first expedition. He had lost and been injured over the years, but he would always return victorious in the end.

He actually died?

In this battle, Chu Le lost a great general...

Emperor Xiao ordered a thorough search for Xiao Yurong, but there was no news of Xiao Yurong.

When Cui Ci Ning was almost killed by a hail of arrows, Xiao Yurong broke out of the window.

She had a clear target and stabbed Yi Yan in the shoulder, who was at the front checking whether Cui Ci Ning was dead or not.

When Yi Yan was in pain and unconscious, Xiao Yurong acted decisively, put Ye Xing on Yi Yan's neck, and threatened: "Stop it!"

"Military Advisor!" Those people were terrified. No one had expected that Xiao Yurong could do such a thing.

Xiao Yurong broke out of the window, her hair and hair were all messy, and there were sawdust and small wounds on her body caused by wood shavings and thorns.

"Oh, it seems that I really underestimated you, little princess." Yi Yan was a little surprised.

"Shut up! If you don't want to die, tell your men to step back!" Xiao Yurong pressed the dagger hard against Yi Yan's neck.

Ye Xing's sharp sword was so sharp that it broke his hair and immediately left a line of blood.

Seeing the blood, those people were afraid that Xiao Yurong would really kill them, so they quickly retreated slowly with weapons in hand.

Xiao Yurong carried the dying Cui Ci Ning on his back, held Yi Yan at risk with a dagger, and walked forward step by step.

And those people retreated step by step.

Yi Yan didn't look like he was kidnapped at all. Instead, he followed Xiao Yurong leisurely.

"I say, little princess," he said, "you can't go far with this burden and me as a burden."

Seeing that Xiao Yurong ignored him, he continued to talk to himself: "My people have been following us. If you slack off for a moment, you and your little general will die in Pingnan. If you ask me, you might as well let me go..."

"If I don't do this, you won't kill us?" Xiao Yurong sneered.

She looked extremely miserable now, and Cui Ci Ning's blood had seeped into her body.

She struggled to carry Cui Ci Ning forward, and had to be extremely alert to detain Yi Yan.

Yi Yan dared to swear that this trip was definitely the greatest suffering that the little princess, who had been pampered since childhood, had ever endured in her life.

Although Xiao Yurong is in such a miserable state now, he is still frighteningly dazzling.

Her eyes are firm and calm, always looking forward, like wildfire burning the dead mulberry trees.

Bright indifference, like the white night.

Yi Yan was stunned for a moment, then laughed again, "It seems he can kill, too."

Xiao Yurong pushed Ye Xing closer threateningly, "So, shut up."

But what Yi Yan said is indeed correct.

Xiao Yurong had to carry Cui Ci Ning and escort Yi Yan, and could not relax at all. He could not go far.

Xiao Yurong sighed softly and closed his eyes.

Leaving the residence arranged by Yi Yan, there is a turbulent river not far ahead.

If destiny favors you, you should risk your life and then survive.

She suddenly opened her eyes and regained her calm and determination.

"Have you thought it through? Little princess, are you planning to surrender?" Yi Yan asked with a smile.

In response to him, Xiao Yurong's dagger was getting closer and closer. Yi Yan just shut his mouth obediently and stopped trying to provoke Xiao Yurong.

The closer they got to the river, the closer Yi Yan's men came, as if they were ready to attack.

Xiao Yurong carried Cui Ci Ning on his back while holding a dagger against Yi Yan, and continued to retreat towards the river.

They pressed forward step by step, nervously observing Xiao Yurong's every move.

"What do you want to do? Jump into the river?" Yi Yan realized what Xiao Yurong wanted to do. "Are you crazy? If you go down with the seriously injured Cui Qining, you will definitely die!"

"What a pity! I'm good at swimming and I've always had a good life." Xiao Yurong sneered and pushed Yi Yan out with his backhand.

Taking away Yiyan is like taking away a hot potato that may threaten your safety at any time and anywhere.

Yi Yan was pushed into the hands of his own people, and he said angrily, "Stop her!"

At the moment Xiao Yurong pushed Yi Yan away, he dragged Cui Ci Ning into the turbulent flow.

"Military Advisor..." Those people looked at each other and looked at Yi Yan blankly, as if they didn't know what to do.

Yi Yan's breath was stuck in his throat, as if it contained blood, "Find it!"

"Find it for me! Even if it's just bone residue, bring it back to me!" he said in his throat.

Xiao Yurong used up his last breath to drag Cui Ci Ning to the shore, then fell to the ground exhausted.

She didn't know how long she had drifted, but she should have reached the outskirts of Pingnan City. She was soaked by the freezing river water, which made her feel cold and numb to the bone.

"Cough cough cough!" Xiao Yurong was choked by the water and gasped for breath. His body was covered with water plants and cement, and had wounds caused by sand and stones. He looked extremely miserable.

There were hidden reefs in the water, and when Xiao Yurong was carried by the current, because he was carrying Cui Ci Ning, he didn't notice that he had hit a reef, and his back was covered with bloody bruises.

The slightest movement would cause pain in my shoulders and my entire back.

“Ha!” She fell to the ground and couldn’t help laughing again, “Hahahahahaha!”

Sure enough, she wasn't destined to die.

Xiao Yurong barely supported himself to sit up, crawled to Cui Ci Ning and checked his condition.

Seeing that he was still breathing, Xiao Yurong breathed a sigh of relief.

It would be totally not worth it to go to so much trouble to save a dead person.

Cui Ci Ning had two or three arrows piercing his body, and there were wounds of varying sizes all over his body.

Xiao Yurong could handle the emergency, but as for how to cure Cui Ci Ning, she wouldn't be able to do that even if she became a doctor after years of illness.

He placed his hopes on Li Yaozhi being able to come, but before that, whether Cui Ci Ning could hold on depended on his own physical fitness.

Xiao Yurong himself was not in a good condition either.

It is not advisable to stay here for long. Yi Yan will sooner or later send people to investigate the river downstream.

But they couldn't go far in their current situation and could only hide deep in the jungle.

Xiao Yurong resigned himself to his fate and carried Cui Ci Ning on his back, walking with difficulty into the depths of the forest.

When Cui Ci Ning woke up, he found himself in a cave.

It was drizzling outside, but there was a bonfire burning in the cave, providing warmth.

The clothes had been dried by the fire, and now he was only wearing an undershirt, lying on the fluffy hay. The wounds on his body had also been treated.

Xiao Yurong? Cui Ci Ning vaguely recalled some important fragments, forced himself to sit up, and looked around anxiously, "Zhaoyang!"

"I'm here, what are you doing?" A girl's low voice floated out from inside.

Cui Ci Ning looked over in the direction of the voice, and inside, Xiao Yurong's clothes were half-undressed, revealing half of her shoulders.

He hurriedly lowered his head and stopped looking, but he was still concerned about the large, hideous bruise on Xiao Yurong's shoulder, with blood oozing from the skin.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"Something happened. It hurts so much." Xiao Yurong complained in a faint voice.

Cui Ci Ning wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only bite the bullet and say dryly: "Then, then can you please stop hurting..."

Xiao Yurong had a blank expression on his face. "If you say it doesn't hurt, then it doesn't hurt. Even the best doctors are not as good as you."

The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. Cui Ci Ning knew that he couldn’t speak well either, so he shut his mouth.

"I clearly told you to leave." He lowered his head and whispered, "Why didn't you leave? Why did you take me with you?"

For a moment, he thought this might be the best ending.

If he had died in the name of loyalty to the emperor while protecting Xiao Yurong, he would not have been so torn between love and hate.

But Xiao Yurong didn't abandon him and took him away.

If that dream was really from his previous life, then Xiao Yurong owed Cui's life, and he also owed Xiao Yurong's life.

Xiao Yurong looked at Cui Qining across the bonfire, "Do you really want me to leave you behind?"

Cui Ci Ning said in a hoarse voice: "If you do this... I will owe you my life."

"You don't owe me anything." Xiao Yurong said, "I owe you."

Did he owe it to him because he fought desperately to block the enemy at the door, or because of the lives of the entire Cui family?

This sentence meant so much that Cui Ci Ning had no time to think about the details.

Cui Ci Ning felt inexplicably terrified. How many times would his heart have to be broken in exchange for the truth?

"That's why." Xiao Yurong had already applied herbal medicine to his wound and pulled up his clothes.

Xiao Yurong stared at him, "So I took you away and gave it back to you."
