At night, dark clouds rolled in, as if it was going to snow.

On the Zhenbeiguan city tower, the soldiers guarding the city were changing their shifts.

Suddenly someone shouted: "What is that?"

A dark shadow was moving in the distance, but it was hard to see clearly in the gloomy night.

A guard lit a torch and threw it over there with all his strength. They could barely see clearly with the flash of firelight.

"It seems to be a person!"

Several guards held torches and walked out of the city gate. When they got closer, they found a woman, wearing a scarlet palace dress, with two arrows stuck in her back. She was crawling forward with difficulty, with blood trailing all over the ground behind her.

.

Seeing them, the palace goddess shouted in panic: "Hurry, save the Ninth Princess!"

In the post house, Liu Yunxiang was about to go to sleep when she heard hurried footsteps outside. Yan Mu, who was sleeping in the room opposite her, hurriedly walked out in a big cloak, and Liu Yunxiang hurriedly chased after her.

"What happened?"

Yan Mu's face turned ugly and he just said: "You go to bed first."

Yan Mu left after saying this, making Liu Yunxiang even more uneasy.

"I'm with you."

Yan Mu glanced at Liu Yunxiang and said, "Go put on the cloak."

It's especially cold at night in the North, and the wind is as sharp as a knife and can cut human flesh and bones into pieces.

Liu Yunxiang put on her cloak and followed Yan Mu out of the post house, but saw a group of people already waiting outside. She didn't know why, so Yan Mu picked her up on the horse and galloped out.

At this time, there was a sudden thunder in the sky, and Liu Yunxiang was wrapped tightly by Yan Mu. At this time, he took a look outside and found that they had already left the seclusion and were walking in the desert.

The Zhenbei soldiers on the left and right behind him all had solemn expressions, making it difficult to guess what was going on.

After a while, the group stopped.

Liu Yunxiang was carried off the horse by Yan Mu again. After she stood firm, she raised her head and glanced at Yan Mu, and saw that his face was actually pale. The soldiers behind him seemed to be frozen, looking at the front with sadness.

The wind blew, bringing with it a bloody smell.

Liu Yunxiang turned around bluntly. This place was Yunjing Lake, and there were several corpses floating on the dull lake. A bolt of lightning flashed across, illuminating the lake instantly. With this glance, Liu Yunxiang could see the corpses clearly, and couldn't help but feel weak at his feet.

They were all female corpses, all clothed disheveledly, and the one in front of them was still wearing a bright red wedding robe.

Liu Yunxiang leaned into Yan Mu's arms and realized that his body was very tight and his chest was twitching.

"No, no..."

She is Princess Da Rong Jiu, how dare they do this to her!

It must not be her!

Without waiting for Yan Mu's order, the soldiers had already entered the water and quickly dragged several corpses out.

These were the dowry palace maids, all of them were bruised and bloody, and most of their faces were ruined and their appearance could not be seen clearly. Then there was the one wearing a red wedding robe. Although Liu Yunxiang kept silently thinking in his heart that it was not her or Qin Feiyu, but he fished it out

Finally, even though there were several cuts on her face, she was still recognizable at a glance.

It is the Ninth Princess!

The wedding robe on her body was torn, and traces of abuse could be seen. The fatal wound was a deep stab wound on her neck.

Liu Yunxiang couldn't hold it back, sobbed and quickly covered it with his hands.

She was only eighteen years old, a lively, lovely and kind-hearted little girl. For the so-called justice of her family and country, she bravely left her homeland. Although she was afraid in her heart, she was still determined.

But only one day later, she turned into a cold corpse.

There are also these palace maids, most of whom are also of this age. They also mustered up the courage to accompany the princess in marriage, but God does not pity them.

The soldiers lowered their heads one by one, looking sad, and some even cried.

They were so heartbroken, let alone Yan Mu.

Liu Yunxiang looked at Yan Mu, but at this moment, his face had no expression, but his face became paler.

He took off his big cloak, covered the Ninth Princess, and then bent down to pick them up. Other soldiers also picked up the bodies of the palace maids, and the group returned to Zhenbeiguan in sorrow.

In the post house, Liu Yunxiang changed the clothes of the ninth princess. The injuries on her body were really shocking. Liu Yunxiang's hands kept shaking and she broke into a cold sweat. She didn't dare to think about how scared and desperate this little girl must have been at that time.

After sorting out the remains, Liu Yunxiang asked two soldiers to help put the ninth princess into the coffin. Looking at the girl again, Liu Yunxiang sighed and asked them to close the coffin lid.

Arriving at the meeting hall in the front yard, Liu Yunxiang heard the messenger saying anxiously: "Commander Yan, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive. This matter is Beijin's fault. We should report it to the court immediately.

Let's weigh it up. If Beijin is in the wrong, we will definitely give Da Rong an explanation, and the ninth princess will not die in vain."

Liu Yunxiang walked into the hall, poured a cup of hot tea for each of them, and then stood behind Yan Mu.

He was leaning on the Taishi's chair, his face still expressionless, as if he wasn't listening to what the messenger had to say.

Seeing that Yan Mu had no reaction, the messenger quickly looked at Shen Yunzhou who was sitting aside, "Master Shen, please also advise Yan Shuai to put the overall situation first!"

Shen Yunzhou lowered his eyes for a moment and asked: "If the court takes a tough stance, how will Beijin calm this matter?"

The messenger hesitated for a moment and said, "He who kills must pay with his life."

But that one is the third prince of Beijin, and Beijin has always been arrogant. At most, he will only find a scapegoat and blame today's disaster on him as an apology.

Big things are reduced to small things, small things are reduced to small things.

Thinking of this, the bride-to-be couldn't help but sigh.

Shen Yunzhou snorted coldly, "I was wondering why the third prince dared to do this to our princess of Dayong. Maybe in the eyes of the people from Beijin, our life in Dayong is very cheap."

"Master Shen, you..."

Shen Yunzhou hurriedly laughed: "I just sighed, Commander Yan has to make the decision on this matter."

At this time, Wei Tian came in, saluted Yan Mu and said, "Commander, the three armies are ready."

"What are you ready for?" the messenger asked hurriedly.

Wei Tianli ignored him and only looked at Yan Mu.

"Commander Yan, you must not do this!" The messenger was so worried that he almost cried, "With this battle, the peace treaty signed by the two countries will be invalidated. The court will definitely punish you for your crime, and beheading is a light crime!

"

Yan Mu stood up and glanced at the messenger, "Send a letter to the court, and write only one sentence in the letter: I don't want them to lose their lives, I don't want their corpses to litter the fields!"

Seeing off the bride made her face turn pale and her legs became weak.

"The three armies listened to the order and immediately came out of the border to directly attack the camp of the Northern Jin Army and kill them without leaving any trace behind. But for that third prince, I will personally tear off his head!"

Wei Tian said excitedly: "All the soldiers are holding back their feelings of cowardice and have long wanted to kill each other!"

The sky turned white, the Zhenbei Pass was wide open, and the soldiers wore armor and marched in unison.

Liu Yunxiang caught up with Yan Mu and said, "On the battlefield, you must take care of yourself."
