Song Siyao got the answer from Wen Tao, and all the evidence formed a closed loop.

She took a pill from her sleeve and handed it to Hongshao, instructing, "Make him swallow it!"

Hongshao took the pill, pinched Wentao's chin, stuffed the pill into his mouth, covered his mouth, and made him swallow the medicine before letting go.

Wen Tao tried desperately to pry out the medicine he had already swallowed, but he couldn't get it out of his mouth.

He pointed at Song Siyao and cursed, "Song Siyao, you've broken your promise and gone back on your word! You said you'd let me go!"

“I did say I would let you go, but I didn’t say I wouldn’t kill you.” Song Siyao’s expression was cold. “Don’t worry, you won’t die for now. You will suffer endless torment until the Great Zhou and the Yan Kingdom reach a peace agreement, at which point your death will come.”

Wen Tao shuddered; he couldn't imagine what kind of methods Song Siyao would come up with to torture him.

He gritted his teeth, his face full of hatred, "Song Siyao, you are treacherous and shameless!"

Song Siyao sneered, "You're too stupid! The hatred between us is irreconcilable, and you still want to live off me?"

"What I just gave you was a specially made poison. It will take effect in half a month. Your body will start to rot from the inside out, while it will look perfectly fine on the outside, until it is completely rotten and turns into a corpse."

After she finished speaking, she stopped looking at Wentao and turned to leave.

Wen Tao pounded the ground and roared, "Song Siyao, stop right there!"

Watching Song Siyao's retreating figure, his voice sounded pale and weak, "Song Siyao, I'm going to kill you!"

But how could he kill Song Siyao when he couldn't even stand up?

He collapsed to the ground, crying out to heaven and earth in vain, as if he had fallen into an endless abyss, unable to see the sky above. The despair felt like a raging fire burning through his body, turning him to ashes.

Song Siyao walked out of the cell, looked up at the night sky, saw the twinkling stars, and the scene of the battle of Panxi two years ago floated into her mind.

Two years ago.

It is an indisputable fact that the Zhou Dynasty's military strength was insufficient to resist the Yan State.

The Marquis of Zhenbei and his men had no choice but to resort to strategy. Just when it seemed they were about to win with fewer troops, the Yan state turned the tide and won.

The defense map of Zhenbeihou was leaked.

The Yan state swiftly broke through the Zhou's defenses, turning the tide of the battle and achieving victory.

"We've been ambushed!" Song Pingwei and Song Siyao were on the same team, leading the charge.

They are now in a canyon and need to cross it to reach the enemy's rear.

The Marquis of Zhenbei took a different route to the enemy's front.

Song Siyao's second, third, and fourth brothers played on the sidelines.

They were to surround the enemy.

"Brother, you lead the men to break through, I'll stay behind!" Song Siyao said.

"Fifth brother, you take the men and leave! We have an ambush here, and there are definitely more along the other roads. Go and help Father!" Song Pingwei said.

"Big brother..."

"Fifth Brother! Be good!" Song Pingwei looked at Song Siyao with eyes full of tenderness and love, and he instructed, "You must live well, your life is more important than ours!"

They led the vanguard, bringing only a few hundred men.

Surrounded by tens of thousands of enemies, their chances of escape were slim.

"Big brother!"

"Song Siyan, let's go!" After saying that, Song Pingwei spurred the horse that Song Siyao was riding. The horse neighed and galloped forward.

"Big brother!"

Song Siyao didn't want to leave, but she knew that what Song Pingwei said was true.

Her martial arts skills are already superior to Song Pingwei's, so she is the most suitable person to go and rescue people.

Hearing the roar behind her, Song Siyao turned around and saw that the Yan army had surrounded Song Pingwei. Their arrows rained down on Song Pingwei, instantly covering his entire body.

"Big brother!" Song Siyao cried out, tears streaming down his face.

That was her eldest brother, who loved her the most!

Now she was dying right in front of her, and she was powerless to stop it.

She cannot turn back.

Otherwise, her older brother's sacrifice would have been in vain.

She withdrew her gaze, quickly turned her head, whipped her horse, and galloped away.

Song Siyao was closest to the Marquis of Zhenbei, so she headed straight for his road.

Just as Song Pingwei had predicted, the Marquis of Zhenbei also encountered an ambush.

The Marquis of Zhenbei attacked from the front, and he brought the most troops. The number of enemies here was also much greater than the number of Song Siyao and his men who had ambushed them before.

Song Siyao instantly realized that there was a traitor among them.

"Song Siyan, you've finally arrived!" At this moment, a mocking voice came from behind Song Siyan.

She turned around and saw it was Wen Tao.

Wen Tao was extremely excited when he saw Song Siyao, "Song Siyan, today, I will make you, the youngest general of the Great Zhou, disappear from the world forever!"

In front of Song Siyao was her father, who was surrounded by enemies on all sides, and behind her was her mortal enemy with a bow and arrow aimed at her.

If she tries to save her father, Wentao can kill her from behind.

Without the slightest hesitation, she used her lightness skill to fly towards Zhenbeihou.

She used her body to block the knife aimed at the Marquis of Zhenbei.

"Yan'er!"

The Marquis of Zhenbei was astonished to see Song Siyao suddenly appear. His gaze fell on the knife, and instantly, he went mad.

The knife pierced Song Siyao's heart, and blood flowed down the blade in a horrifying manner.

The pain of having that knife pierce Song Siyao was worse than being torn to pieces.

He would rather die himself than let Song Siyao suffer any harm.

"withdraw……"

Before Song Siyao could finish speaking, she caught a glimpse of an arrow flying towards them out of the corner of her eye.

This is the arrow shot by Wen Tao.

Wen Tao didn't want to kill Song Siyao, but rather the Marquis of Zhenbei.

He knew that if he killed Zhenbei Marquis, Song Siyao would risk her life to save him.

This way, it's easier to kill Song Siyao than to kill her directly.

The Marquis of Zhenbei had his back to Wen Tao, so he didn't see the arrow flying towards him.

Song Siyao saw it, and she used all her strength to push away the Marquis of Zhenbei.

"Father! Retreat!"
