Famine and exile: I brought the Spirit Spring to save the entire Marquis's mansion.

His usually calm eyes finally showed some emotion.

The boy stood up, looked out the window, and then ran out quickly.

"Yan'er, you can't get out."

Yes, he can't get out.

Hua Buyan quickly retreated again.

"Father, have they turned against each other?"

"No."

Prince Hua's eyes held a deeper sorrow and an unspeakable pity.

Hua Buyan understood instantly.

"Is Grandmother going to use me against her?"

Prince Hua was startled, not expecting his son to guess it so quickly.

"Huo Jingya is attacking the city to save Sang Ning'er. The troops she leads are truly formidable; they can climb walls with their bare hands and quickly build human ladders. The Huo family army is relentlessly pursuing the troops, and it's only a matter of time before she enters the city."

I overheard your grandmother making arrangements for someone, saying that once she enters the city, there's no need to stop her; just lure her directly to the Hua residence.

The Hua family must have made all the necessary arrangements; is there any need to say more?

It's laughable that although he held the title of Prince, he had no real power.

Not only him, but everyone in the Hua family did not.

The entire family was under the mother's control.

The two thousand black-armored guards of his son seemed so precious.

"Has Fourth Sister-in-law Huo been arrested by Grandmother?" The boy's eyes widened slightly.

"No. It seems something went wrong, and your grandmother is angry about it."

Prince Hua didn't care about anyone else; he only wanted his son to escape this place of trouble.

"Yan'er, where are your black-armored guards? Let them come and take you away. If Huo Jingya can also give up everything, you two can live in anonymity and be an ordinary couple."

"Father..."

"Your father still has two thousand private soldiers at his disposal, which should help you escape. From now on, forget your identity and you can use any surname you like."

“Grandmother will not give up.” Hua Buyan knew the Grand Princess all too well.

He saw things even more clearly than Prince Hua.

The one who was guarding outside just now was Lu Xun.

Look how precious he is, worthy of having his grandmother's first person guarding him when she's away.

"Anyone in the Hua family can leave, but I cannot."

Not a single Black Armor soldier can be wasted on me.

Father, please don't use your private troops. You know... I've always feared that someone would die because of me.

Yes, when he was very young, even the servants around him would be terrified when they were punished.

When the first servant was beaten to death for not serving him properly, he had nightmares for several days.

Later, he stopped needing anyone to serve him.

Only Xiaoyu remained.

However, his mother said that he was the only person in charge of the Hua family, and having seen so much life and death, he considered it a trivial matter.

He needs to get used to it.

He never hesitated to punish his servants in the future.

Later, the son seemed to get used to it.

Even after someone died, his gaze never changed.

But that doesn't mean he wasn't suffering inside.

"You shouldn't have been born into the Hua family!" Prince Hua almost burst into tears.

His heart is too pure!

"Father, please send a message to Xiaoya, tell her not to go into the city. It's all Grandmother's conspiracy. Father, I beg you."

Hua Buyan knelt heavily on the ground and kowtowed.

"Alright, Father promises you."

But in the end, they still had to face each other.

Sooner or later.

What will Yan'er do then?

……

Sang Ning finally waited until dawn.

She ran out of the mountains and ran into Feng Dali and Qin Wangyuan, who were searching for her with their men.

Their eyes were bloodshot, clearly indicating they had been searching all night.

Upon seeing Sang Ning, Feng Dali felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from his shoulders, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"The mistress has been found! Quickly inform Captain Jingya and tell her to come back!"

His personal guards immediately rushed over.

Where did Jingya go?

"She thought you'd been captured, and she's attacking the city!"

"Mistress, the Huo family army has been fully mobilized and is now surrounded by three forces. We don't know how many days they can hold out. You must leave!"

Feng Dali anxiously urged the horse forward, "According to the schedule, the Northwest Army will be at least five more days away. I dare not let you take the risk. Let Uncle Qin escort you!"

"Feng Dali!"

Sang Ning leaped onto his horse, "Come with me to meet the leader of the Ningzhou army!"

How could she possibly watch 200,000 Huo family soldiers die one by one?

She would fight for any chance of survival!

Sang Ning took the lead, speeding away against the cold wind.

"The mistress's body..." Qin Wangyuan was shocked.

alright?

"Even if they recover, they'll just be going to their deaths. Hurry and chase them!"

Feng Dali cracked his whip and hurriedly gave chase.

On the battlefield, the retreat had just been called.

A clear and loud shout rang out from the front lines.

"I am Sang Ning, the matriarch of the Huo family army, and I wish to speak with General Gu Zhong!"

By the time Feng Dali arrived, Sang Ning had already been dragged into the enemy camp by the arm!

"I am Feng Dali, the cavalry general of the Huo family army! Let me tell you, general, if you dare to lay a finger on my mistress, I will raze this place to the ground!"

Gu Zhong's troops stood in rows, brandishing their guns, blocking his way.

Feng Dali dared not rush in, and his men were in a panic.

"No, Uncle Qin, go back and see if you can still get more troops over!"

"it is good!"

"Uncle Qin!"

Feng Dali's eyes widened.

Gu Zhong's army was stationed on the outskirts of Long'an City.

At this moment, a light purple figure appeared on the city wall of Long'an City.

Those were the clothes Sang Ning was wearing just now.

She was taken to the city wall.

What is Gu Zhong planning to do?

"Gu Zhong! How dare you..." Feng Dali roared again.

From a distance, Sang Ning made a gesture toward him.

It means he is not allowed to move.

Qin Wangyuan grabbed Feng Dali, swallowed hard, and said, "Dali, wait a little longer... Ah!"

He opened his eyes wide in fear, feeling as if his throat was blocked with cotton, and his heart stopped beating.

Sang Ning climbed over the fence!

She jumped!

"Mistress—"

"Mistress—"

Feng Dali and Qin Wangyuan were so enraged that they could no longer control themselves.

"Charge in! Follow me, General..."

Before the word "kill" could be finished, Sang Ning's body was wrapped in a long whip, and he was saved.

Feng Dali and Qin Wangyuan both gasped for breath, their bodies drenched in cold sweat.

Sang Ning was carried up to the city wall, and Gu Zhong lashed the wall with his whip, leaving deep welts on the bricks.

"I'm truly impressed! Are you really Sang Xiuqi's daughter or not?!"

"Damn it, are you out of your mind? Coming here to die!"

"You said I'd listen to you if I dared to jump off the city wall. General Gu, will you listen to me now?" Sang Ning said without changing his expression.

"Tell me first, why aren't you afraid of dying?"

Not only did he dare to enter the enemy camp, but he also jumped off the city wall without hesitation.

Gu Zhongzhen is a fucking bastard!

I've never seen such a bold woman in my life.

"Because I bet the general wouldn't dare let me die."

"What a joke! I know what you mean. You think you have someone behind you, and that when reinforcements arrive, they will wipe out my army and avenge you."

However, the premise is, are you qualified? If your reinforcements really come and the imperial army is defeated, this general will lead his men to join the Huo family army.

Do you think Huo Chang'an would refuse an army of 100,000 for a woman?

To put it bluntly, Gu Zhong wasn't truly loyal to the Grand Princess; he was waiting for someone to prove themselves so he could choose a better patron.

"General Gu, at this rate, you won't even be able to eat hot shit!" Sang Ning mocked.

"You! Do you believe me or not...?"
