The daily life of a cold and aloof general raising his wife

Jiang Shuwan never expected this possibility.

"Xiao Twelve knew her identity but couldn't bear to kill her, so he could only keep her by his side. However, if he were to ascend the throne, it would be too dangerous to have someone like that by his side. Therefore, he discussed it with the emperor, and in the end, the emperor would succeed to the throne, and he was willing to be a stepping stone."

They could have lived ordinary, simple lives, but Lu Sui accidentally discovered them and shattered their beautiful lives.

Lu Zhiheng could have lived a happy and fulfilling life in his home, but Lu Sui ruined it all.

The Grand Princess and Jiang Shuwan talked about many things from more than 30 years ago. After having dinner with her grandmother at the Grand Princess's residence, Jiang Shuwan returned to the General's Mansion.

Not many days later, reports came from the border that the Turks had invaded.

In the following days, several cities were attacked by the Turks.

With the complete fall of Northern Qi, the soldiers in Beicheng were too preoccupied with their own survival to provide any further support to Northern Qi.

The last line of defense of the Northern Qi Dynasty was breached by the Turks, who marched straight towards the palace. When the eunuchs and maids in the palace learned of the Turkic attack, they all grabbed their belongings and fled.

"Your Majesty, let's go, or it will be too late."

The bodyguards who were protecting Li Shu were anxiously trying to persuade her.

Li Shu didn't expect the Turks to arrive so quickly.

"How are Duke Zheng and General Zheng now?"

Li Shu still held onto hope, believing that as long as the Duke of Zheng was still alive, the backbone of Northern Qi would remain.

"The Zheng family army has suffered a great defeat. Duke Zheng and General Zheng are probably in grave danger," the guard reported truthfully.

Xianglian looked at Li Shu with a worried expression.

Li Shu may not care about her own life, but she cannot care about others. If she doesn't leave, Xiang Lian and the people who protect her will definitely not leave.

"Let's go to a safe place first. We must find Duke Zheng and General Zheng no matter what."

"Yes."

The guards breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Li Shu had finally relented.

With Xianglian and the others protecting Li Shu, they came out of the side hall and happened to run into Wei Chi who was coming.

Li Shu was somewhat surprised to see this. "What are you doing here?"

Not long ago, Li Shu had someone escort Wei Chi away from the palace.

"I've come to take you away."

After Wei Chi finished speaking, he took Li Shu's hand, while holding a bloodstained knife in his right hand.

The Turks discovered them and tried to capture them, and a dozen guards went up to resist.

Wei Chi even took up his knife and went to fight.

His figure overlapped with the figure in my memory.

The Turks outnumbered Li Shu's men, and they couldn't resist for long.

Seeing that things were not going their way, Yan Jingrong didn't linger and pulled Li Shu away.

However, when Yan Jingrong arrived at the palace gate, he was stopped by several Turks.

Li Shu stood by, worried.

One of the Turks noticed Li Shu raising her knife and walking towards her.

Yan Jingrong saw this and wanted to go over, but he was unable to do so. At the crucial moment, he pierced the man with a long spear.

Li Shu turned around and looked in the direction behind her.

Zheng Congying was covered in blood. He noticed Li Shu's gaze and smiled at her.

Seeing that he was safe and sound, Li Shu's heart, which had been clenched with worry, was finally at ease.

“Zheng Cong…”

Before she could finish calling his name, Li Shu saw him slowly fall to the ground.

Li Shu rushed over to him in a panic and helped him up.

Only then did she notice that Zheng Congying had three or four arrows in his back.

Li Shu's voice trembled with fear, "Zheng Congying..."

"The minister is here."

Zheng Congying's voice was a little hoarse.

He had been fighting for a day and a night, and his strength was almost completely exhausted. That last shot was fired with all his might.

Li Shu's eyes reddened with anxiety. "Imperial Physician, I'll go find the Imperial Physician right now..."

Zheng Congying stopped her, "Don't go."

"You're injured, the imperial physician needs to bandage you up. We can talk later."

Zheng Congying said weakly, "The imperial physicians have all run away. There are no imperial physicians left now. I know my own body. If I don't say these things now, I'm afraid I'll never be able to say them again."

"Don't talk nonsense! You're okay, you'll definitely be okay!" Li Shu said, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

“Years ago, when you learned that Yan Jingrong was gone, you cried day and night for him. At that time, I wondered if you would cry for me if I were gone one day… Today, seeing me die, I have no regrets.” Zheng Congying finished speaking and smiled.

It was worth risking his life to come back; he had no regrets about dying in Li Shu's arms.

Li Shu couldn't hold back her emotions any longer, and tears streamed down her face like pearls from a broken string.

"Don't talk nonsense! You're alright, you'll definitely be alright..."

Zheng Congying wanted to raise his hand to stroke Li Shu's face, but his hand fell before he could touch her.

Zheng Congying closed her eyes forever in Li Shu's arms.

"Zheng Congying, Zheng Congying..."

Li Shu shook him sadly and called his name.

Yan Jingrong killed the last Turk and then walked toward Li Shu.

When he arrived, Zheng Congying had already closed his eyes, and Li Shu hugged him and wept bitterly.

Yan Jingrong suppressed his sadness and said, "We shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's leave first."

Li Shu was heartbroken as she held Zheng Congying's body.

Yan Jingrong took Zheng Congying from her hands and carried him on his back.

"Come on."

Li Shu nodded and followed.

Yan Jingrong had paved the way beforehand, and they made it relatively smoothly.

Finally leaving the palace, Yan Jingrong led them to a remote mountain area.

Yan Jingrong put Zheng Congying down.

Li Shu's eyes were already red and swollen from crying.

"I think he probably wants to stay in the territory of Northern Qi."

Li Shu stood by Zheng Congying's side, her face blank.

Although she had no romantic feelings for Zheng Congying, she had long regarded him as her friend.

It's all my fault for not doing enough; that's why the Northern Qi dynasty fell and my good friend died tragically in front of me.

On the other side, Yan Jingrong and his guards had already dug a pit.

Li Shu covered his face with her handkerchief, and then the guards began to fill the pit.

Li Shu was so upset she almost lost her balance, but luckily Yan Jingrong caught her in time.

Seeing her so heartbroken, Yan Jingrong also felt bad, especially since Zheng Congying was a formidable opponent.

After burying Zheng Congying, Li Shu and Yan Jingrong left the place.

They were going to find the Duke of Zheng.

Before leaving, Li Shu said to Xianglian, "Xianglian, it's too dangerous for you to come with me. I'll have someone take you back to Daqing."

"Wherever you are, my lady, I will be there. I will not go anywhere." Xianglian refused to leave.

If you want to live together, live together, if you want to die, die together.

"it is good."

To make things easier, Li Shu and Xiang Lian changed into men's clothing and rode off to the battlefield.

Zheng Jiajun is now almost wiped out.

Duke Zheng was exhausted as he looked at the gloomy sky outside.

He knew in his heart that after today, the Northern Qi would cease to exist completely.

Suddenly, a horse neighed, and the Duke of Zheng looked toward the source of the sound.

He recognized them as Li Shu and the others.

Li Shu quickly dismounted and walked towards the Duke of Zheng.

"Duke of Zheng"

Li Shu's eyes immediately welled up with tears when she saw him.
