A red apricot is about to cheat on you

Chapter 158 Who is the person in your heart?

"Xie Xingchen, you are so wanton in public, have you lost your mind?" Yi Duoer's delicate face was full of astonishment and anger.

She was just repaying Xingchen for saving her life out of pure gratitude.

However, at this moment, Xie Xingchen seemed determined to reveal all his deepest feelings.

In his opinion, Yi Duoer became his legal wife, and when he ascended the throne in the future, she would be the queen who would rule the country.

He was convinced that any woman in the world would be moved by such supreme honor and glory, but he didn't know.

Yi Duo'er is not someone who covets fame and wealth.

Yi Duoer was straightforward and said that he must give up thinking about her.

So, she straightened her back, her eyes were firm and indifferent, her tone was tough and decisive, and she said:

"Don't say that. There has only been one man in my heart from the beginning to the end, and that man is not you. In this life, I would rather not marry than marry someone I don't love.

You don't have to feel that you have to repay me just because I saved you. Everything I did was just to repay your kindness in saving my life, that's all!"

When Xie Xingchen heard this, he felt like he was struck by lightning. He stood there in a daze, unable to accept it for a moment.

His emotions instantly lost control and he became extremely excited. He couldn't believe what he heard.

"Who is the person in your heart? Chu Junye? Or the Chu Junheng who is always inseparable from you?" His voice was high-pitched and loud, echoing in the air and making people's eardrums buzz.

However, when he saw Yi Duoer's expression as calm as water, he instantly realized that he had guessed wrong.

But then, his tone quickly turned sharp and fierce, and with some shock and suspicion that was hard to conceal, he asked again:

"Could it be... don't you want to tell me that person is Chu Jingchen?"

His tone unconsciously became low and hoarse, and his words were filled with deep worry and anxiety.

Because he knew very well in his heart that if the person Yi Duoer had in her heart was Chu Junye or Chu Junheng, he would still have the confidence to fight for it and be sure of winning.

But if Yi Duoer really loves Chu Jingchen, then he is not sure.

Since he returned to Dongli Kingdom, he often couldn't help but think of her in his mind.

Her face was seared into his mind.

During this reunion, he had fallen deeply in love with her and could not extricate himself. His love for her was like a flood that broke through the dam and caused a disaster.

Because of this, how could he accept that she would leave him one day.

When Yi Duoer heard Xie Xingchen mention Chu Jingchen, her eyebrows instantly furrowed tightly together, and a trace of panic and confusion flashed in her eyes.

Obviously, Xie Xingchen hit the nail on the head about what she was thinking, which made her feel ashamed and annoyed, and the anger in her heart rose rapidly.

"Are you done yet? Are you trying to force a sale? Who I like is none of your business. Xie Xingchen, you should treat your wife well and not do anything to make her sad."

After saying that, she turned around without hesitation and stopped looking at him. Her heart was filled with resentment. She snorted inwardly, feeling that she had saved him with good intentions, but ended up in such a frustrating situation.

In Xie Xingchen's opinion, what Yi Duoer said was not a problem at all.

In his opinion, it was natural and normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention that he was a noble prince with a prominent status and respected position.

Not to mention marrying one more woman as a concubine, even if he took several more, his Crown Princess would never dare to complain.

He was originally moved by Yi Duo'er's gesture, but the words she spoke at this moment were so cold and piercing.

It was like a sharp blade, piercing straight into his heart, making him feel extremely uncomfortable and painful.

So, he raised his chin slightly, his eyes revealing a sense of dominance and determination, and said in an unquestionable tone:

"Whether you agree or not, once the crisis here is over, I will take you back to Dongli. There are still many days to come, and I have plenty of time and patience to make you fall in love with me."

After saying this, he turned his head and loudly ordered his men:

"You must take good care of Duo'er. If she disappears, bring her head to me!"

"Yes..." All the men responded in unison, their voices loud and uniform, echoing in the air.

It was not until this moment that Yi Duoer suddenly realized that although Xie Xingchen seemed gentle, humble and polite, he was actually stubborn and arrogant deep down in his heart.

He and Chu Junye are exactly the same. They both rely on their superiority and think that everything in the world can be easily obtained as long as they want.

In their eyes, the people or things they pursue are like prey, and they can only obey them obediently, and even have to flatter them to win their favor.

"Forget it, it was I, Yi Duoer, who made a mistake!" Her tone was as cold as ice. After saying that, she turned around and left resolutely.

Xie Xingchen stood there blankly, his heart full of doubts and confusion. He couldn't understand why Yi Duoer took his blood, wasn't it love?

Yi Duoer walked silently, when suddenly, an autumn wind blew over, and the strong wind made her black hair fly wildly and become messy.

At this moment, a bold and adventurous idea came to her mind. She lowered her head slightly and muttered to herself:

"Today is the Autumnal Equinox, the season when the autumn winds howl. I've heard adults say that the Tiger Ju Army's granary seems to be in the southeast."

Yi Duoer thought that if she could burn down their granary, the enemy would be thrown into chaos and fall into trouble.

The thought of this made her extremely excited. So, she hurried to the tower with great excitement, went straight to the room where everyone usually discussed the battle plan, and shouted loudly:

"My lord, I have something to say to you."

Upon hearing the voice, several soldiers in the room turned their heads and focused their gazes on Yi Duo'er. Seeing her slightly excited expression, Gu Yizhou was filled with confusion and asked softly, "Sangsang, what's the matter?"

"Sir, we might as well go and burn the enemy's granary. The wind is quite strong today, which is a godsend opportunity. It's best to act tonight." Her voice trembled slightly with excitement, and her eyes flashed with a bright light as she stared closely at everyone present.

"Yes, if we burn their food, we'll see how they can still be so proud." One of the captains immediately stood up and echoed excitedly.

After listening to Yi Duoer's suggestion and thinking about it for a while, everyone felt that this plan was feasible.

So, Gu Yizhou made a prompt decision and immediately arranged for people to sneak into the Hu Ju military camp at night and wait for an opportunity to act.

Seeing this, Yi Duoer took the initiative to step forward and said that she wanted to go together.

She could determine where the granary was and it would be the most appropriate place for her to go. However, Gu Yizhou rejected her.

However, Yi Duoer's attitude was extremely firm. For the sake of the overall situation, Gu Yizhou had no choice but to nod in agreement.

At night, Gu Yizhou selected seven elites. Under the cover of darkness, they changed into the military uniforms of the Hu Ju people and quietly sneaked into the Hu Ju base camp.

Yi Duoer carefully observed the situation around her and found that they were in a good mood without wine. Seeing this scene, she felt relieved.

Wine can add fuel to the fire, which will definitely increase the chances of success for this operation.

They did not dare to stay here for fear of being discovered by the enemy, so they quickly dispersed and began to look for the exact location of the enemy's granary.

While searching, Yi Duoer happened to walk outside Tuoba Hong's tent.

At this moment, she faintly heard the intimate sounds between a man and a woman coming from the tent.

A wave of disgust suddenly surged in her heart, and she couldn't help but curse under her breath: "Shameless..."

"Hey...what are you doing?" Suddenly, a sentry's voice sounded behind Yi Duo'er. Yi Duo'er's body trembled slightly, and she was startled, but she quickly calmed down.

She turned around slowly, lowered her head, looked respectful, and said softly:

"I'm here to deliver fruit wine. I'm new here and got lost." Her tone was very calm and composed, without any panic or flaws.

She secretly thanked herself for her cleverness and the wine in her hand, which could be used as a cover. Otherwise, she really wouldn't have found an excuse to respond.

The sentry looked her up and down, but found nothing suspicious. He just said unhappily:

"As expected, you are a lowly slave from the Central Plains, so foolish. The little Khan's tent is right here. Let's go in!"

After hearing this, Yi Duoer couldn't help but hesitate. She frowned slightly and secretly complained in her heart that it seemed that she had to enter the tent.

So she slowly raised her head, turned around and looked at her accomplices, and gave them a look, indicating that they should ignore her and go find and burn the granary first, and she would try her best to come and meet them.

Ah Zhu understood the hint, although he was reluctant, but at this critical moment, he also knew that he could not act rashly.

Yi Duoer took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, then slowly walked outside the tent and said in a rough voice, "I'm here to bring fruit wine to the little Khan!"

Not long after, a man's voice came from the tent: "Come in..."

Yi Duoer exhaled lightly, mustered her courage, and walked in. She didn't dare look in the direction of Tuoba Hong, but walked straight to the table, slowly squatted down, and moved gently and cautiously.

However, despite her best efforts to restrain herself, the tent was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere and the gentle laughter of women. Yi Duo'er's cheeks unconsciously flushed slightly, and a burning feeling surged in her heart.

She cursed in her heart: "What a shameless man! He has killed so many innocent people in Jiangzhou."

Just as she put down her wine glass, the woman in the tent turned around and saw Yi Duoer. She immediately put on a haughty look and shouted at Yi Duoer, "You, bring the wine over!"
