After Su Chen and Peng Qingqing cooperated and fought hard, they finally subdued these assassins without any danger.

After hearing the news, Jing Hong rushed over, bringing hundreds of guards with him. He looked in a hurry. When he saw that General Su Chen and his son Jing Yun were both safe, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"General Su, are you not injured?" Jing Hong stepped forward and asked.

"No problem, you will go back to the military camp later to interrogate those assassins and find out the source of their intelligence and why they set up an ambush here in advance. I suspect there are spies in the army." Su Chen explained the task.

Jing Hong clasped his fists and said, "Yes! I will interrogate you immediately when I return from my humble position."

Su Chen nodded, no longer lingering, turned around and got on the carriage, and returned to the Su Mansion with more guards.

Due to the assassination incident, the defense of the Su Mansion has been strengthened. The dozens of people before have been turned into 300 escorts, guarding the Su Mansion internally and externally, and guarding the Su Mansion tightly to ensure the safety of Su Chen in the mansion.

There are dense sentries outside, and there are patrols and hidden sentries inside the mansion, all of which enhance the defensive power.

Su Chen returned to the room, changed his damaged clothes, and checked whether there were any wounds on his body.

Fortunately, he was not injured this time. Otherwise, if he was injured, the assassin would easily smear poison on the weapon, so it would be very dangerous.

Su Chen looked at Peng Qingqing and said teasingly: "Thanks to you, who always spars with you? I keep practicing my sword and get tempered. When I really encounter danger, I can save my life at the critical moment, otherwise I will be in danger today."

Peng Jingjing was worried and said: "Yes, now the Wu Yue soldiers have done everything possible to break the city. Next, brother Chen, you have to pay more attention to safety. I will guard you every step of the way at any time."

Never leave."

There was firmness and tenderness in her words.

Although Peng Qingqing is only seventeen years old this year, she has lived a simple and simple life for the past sixteen years. Only in this year since she met Su Chen, she feels that the direction of her life has changed.

Her own quality of life and meaning of life have completely changed.

Therefore, Peng Qingqing knows better what Su Chen means to her?

They are not only like each other, but also inspired by the meaning of life, and they are lifelong partners. Therefore, she cherishes them very much.

Su Chen smiled calmly and said: "Life and death are determined by fate. I don't think the assassin can really succeed. My life is hard!"

Peng Qingqing looked worried and said: "It is better to pay more attention to safety. Now the city has been surrounded by Wuyue troops. It has only been a month of fighting and it is already in danger. General Lu Jiang is in the recovery stage and cannot get out of bed.

.You are the only one who shoulders the heavy responsibility of guarding Runzhou, so you must not let anything happen again."

Su Chen nodded and smiled bitterly: "In the past, I was just a playboy in the eyes of the people in Runzhou. Who would have thought that now I, a playboy, will be guarding Runzhou City and gain the trust of the people in the city. Things are unpredictable!"

This is not self-deprecating, but Su Chen's true thoughts. A year ago, he almost couldn't afford to eat and still owed the young master of the Cao family five million yuan.

In the blink of an eye, a year later, his identity has changed drastically. From the supervisor of the army to the general guarding Runzhou, he has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. The disparity in status is very disappointing. The arrangement of fate is so wonderful!

Su Chen said: "The situation of defending the city is indeed a bit difficult now. The city walls on all sides are under attack by Wu Yue's army every day. Our Tang army's city defenders have become numb. As long as the defenders of any city gate are unable to resist first,

If they get tired of fighting and throw away their armor; or if a general becomes rebellious and surrenders to the enemy, it will be difficult for us to defend Runzhou."

"Indeed." Peng Qingqing nodded, she also understood this truth.

Su Chen looked at her and continued: "Qingqing, there is one thing you have to promise me!"

Seeing Su Chen's solemn tone, Peng Qingqing was a little surprised and asked: "What's going on?"

Su Chen said: "Once the city cannot be defended and is defeated, or if something unexpected happens to me and I am stabbed to death, you must not do anything stupid, let alone fight to the end. You must find a way to break out of the siege, and Jinling must not come back."

, find a place to be anonymous, and after two years when the situation has been decided, you will think of ways to live a simple life. Then you can find a suitable husband and live the rest of your life again, okay?"

After hearing what Su Chen said, Peng Qingqing's face suddenly darkened. She shook her head firmly and said, "No, we have already made an engagement. I must marry you, be your wife, and be the daughter-in-law of the Su family. Born to be Su

My family is like a ghost of the Su family; I will never break out alone to survive, greedy for life and afraid of death! If something happens to you, I will not survive!

Su Chen was most worried about her thoughts, and said coldly: "Nonsense! How can you have such thoughts? You are an independent person and cannot live because of others! Besides, our engagement is only a verbal agreement, and it is not

There is no formal letter of appointment, not to mention that we are innocent and have never had a wedding. You are still a young girl, so you should be more open-minded and don't accept death!

"If Runzhou City cannot be saved, or something happens to me, and you have to find a way or leave, if you can find someone to entrust you with for the rest of your life, and live this life in peace, this is what I want to see, not you.

Something happened too."

These ideas, in the eyes of a modern man, are the easiest to understand and the most realistic, but in the hearts of ancient women, they were unacceptable and were even treated with contempt and disloyalty.

This was the case for Peng Qingqing. After hearing this, her face was both angry and moved. With Peng Qingqing's character, she would never accept such an arrangement.

Because, all Peng Jingjing's thoughts were focused on Su Chen, and she had fallen in love so much that she couldn't help herself.

Therefore, she must stay by Su Chen's side no matter what!

"If Su Chen leaves, I will leave; if something happens to him, I won't be able to live alone!" This is what Peng Jingjing said to herself every day in the past month.

Therefore, she could listen to what Su Chen said about other things, but this was the only thing she accepted as dead!

Peng Qingqing shook her head and said: "Brother Chen, please stop trying to persuade me. If you continue to persuade me, it means you don't understand me at all!

"I, Peng Qingqing, am not that kind of person. What I like is to be a hero, to fight for justice, to wield a sword to the end of the world, and to live a vigorous life. I don't want to live a mediocre life.

"I hope to be like Huang Rong in the martial arts novels, guarding Xiangyang with her brother Jing. Even if Xiangyang is lost in the end, I will die with Guo Daxia. This is her destination and her life!

"So, I won't agree to this! Brother Chen, don't try to persuade me again, otherwise, I will be really angry!"

Seeing that she insisted on doing this and refused to listen to advice, Su Chen was a little helpless.

After all, if you want to teach her a lesson, you may not be able to beat her! Peng Qingqing's character is indeed fierce and fierce. Although she has restrained herself a lot this year, it does not mean that her nature will change.

It can only be said that Peng Qingqing has matured and knows how to control her emotions, maintain her identity, become knowledgeable, and know how to be humble and courteous, but deep down, she still has a hot temper and is independent!

Su Chen's words just now not only failed to comfort her, but also irritated her, making it difficult for Peng Jingjing to accept it, and she would not accept it!

Su Chen had no other choice, so he stopped mentioning it and said comfortingly: "Okay, we'll see what happens when the time comes. I hope we can save the day and defend Runzhou. If it comes to a day when we can't defend it, we'll find a way to break out together.

"

When Peng Qingqing saw that he didn't want to dissuade him from this matter, she smiled and nodded: "That's right. Anyway, I'm with you. If you want to defend, I will fight to the death! If you retreat, I will retreat! I will always be with you."
