"General!"

Seeing that Lin Kang was defeated and held hostage by Gao Heng, the forbidden army behind him all drew their swords out of their sheaths and made a defensive attack.

But because he was afraid of his master's life, he only dared to bluff, but he didn't dare to step forward.

The reason why Gao Heng chose to fight with Lin Kang at this time was precisely to prevent him from using the forces he brought to besiege him, and Chen Fu led the Red Feather Army to participate in it.

In this way, in the end, not only may both lose and fall into the ears of Emperor Zhou, but also feel that he is clearly escaping resistance, and he has become more convinced of rebellion.

And he saw that Lin Kang was arrogant and arrogant, and he was a person with an excellent face, since he proposed a contest in person, he would inevitably choose to face it out of self-esteem. And as long as Lin Kang, the leader, is controlled, then the remaining forbidden troops will naturally not dare to act rashly.

"General Lin, I am willing to gamble and lose. ”

Gao Heng looked at him with awe-inspiring eyes, his tone sounded unwavering at first glance, but the sword in his hand did not have any intention of letting go.

"Hmph, manly man, I admit that I lost today. But I also advise Your Highness, this whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, even if His Highness can escape for a while, he can't escape from the palm of His Majesty's hand. Your Highness is a smart man, and it is better to be aware of the times, so as not to end up in a different place!"

Because he became a defeated subordinate in front of everyone, and lost face, Lin Kang gritted his teeth, his face was very ugly, and his heart was full of anger.

Although he didn't plan to let go of Gao Heng at all, but now that he was pointed at by the sword, in order to save his life, he could only temporarily soften his attitude, intending to find a suitable time to turn against the customer.

"This is not a matter of concern to General Laurin. Gao Heng's eyes glanced at him like frost, "Besides, when did this king say that he was going to escape?" It's just that the general originally regarded this king as a prisoner and was ready to escort him back to Beijing, but now, let this king send the general back." ”

"What?"

Hearing Gao Heng's words, Lin Kang's eyebrows jumped, and he frowned in surprise, and began to wonder about his intentions.

At this time, behind the two of them, a soldier of the forbidden army team was eager to make meritorious contributions, and was secretly taking advantage of the cover of the crowd to secretly set up arrows and draw bows, wanting to take advantage of Gao Heng's attention to focus on Lin Kang's body to hurt people with secret arrows and relieve the current siege.

"Your Highness, be careful!"

When it was too late, he saw that the arrow flew straight through the air, and it was about to hit Gao Heng's back in an instant......

At this moment, I saw that Princess Yuanxi, who had been silent, suddenly screamed urgently, and as a light figure passed in front of her, when she landed, her face was already a painful pale.

She used her body to block this arrow for Gao Heng.

"Princess!"

Seeing that Princess Yuanxi was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground, Gao Heng's heart suddenly tightened, and he didn't care about Lin Kang anymore, but rushed towards her with a worried face, and stretched out his hand to take her into his arms.

Even though he knew that Princess Yuanxi did have affection for him, he never thought that she was willing to give up her life for herself.

Seeing that Lin Kang had lost the threat and was about to take the opportunity to order Gao Heng to be arrested, Chen Fu, who was originally standing still, immediately gave an order without thinking. Soon, the Akabane Army, which was outnumbered, swarmed up and surrounded all the forbidden troops.

"Princess, how are you? Medic, Medic!"

Looking at the shocking long arrow on Princess Yuanxi's chest and the large blood stains that soaked her clothes, Gao Heng only felt a deep sting in a dusty place somewhere in his heart that had been sealed for a long time, and the tip of his nose was also sour.

"Your Highness, don't call anyone. I just want you to stay with me for a while, even if it's just for a while. ”

Princess Yuanxi raised her hand and grabbed Gao Heng's sleeve with some difficulty, her eyes were locked, and she didn't want him to leave her for half a step.

"It's good that you're finally... Finally willing to worry about me for a while. ”

Although Princess Yuanxi's face was very pale and weak because of the severe pain of the wound, there was a relieved smile on her lips.

It seems that at this moment, time has stopped flowing at this moment, and in this world, there are only two people left, her and Gao Heng.

"Why are you so stupid, why don't you listen to me and leave!"

"It's all this time, do you still want to drive me away?"

"I don't want to bother you, and I don't want to see you like this, I'm not worth it......"

Gao Heng said heavily, holding Princess Yuanxi's hand and tightening his strength, recalling his cold words to her in the past, indifferent as water, and his eyes were full of hidden sadness.

"I said I would do anything for you, even if it was to give my life. ”

Princess Yuanxi said with tears in her eyes, raising her hand to cover Gao Heng's face, but gradually, her eyes, which were originally shining with sporadic light, were overflowing with the painful color of being deceived and abandoned by her relatives.

For her, no matter how much physical pain she had at the moment, it was far less than the unhealable scar on her heart.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry, I really, really never had the intention of harming you, I didn't know that my imperial brother, my father would do such an insidious thing, they actually lied to me......"

When Princess Yuanxi said this, because she was too excited and involved in the wound, her whole person twitched violently, a little blood spilled from the corners of her lips, and her face became even paler.

At the same time, warm tears also burst out of his eyes, dripping down the back of Gao Heng's hand from the corners of his eyes, like a sharp knife piercing Gao Heng's heart.

"What if... If I knew, I wouldn't let them succeed. ”

"Don't say anything about it, it's me who shouldn't doubt you, I believe in you, I will always believe in you!"

Gao Hengqiang held back the sourness in his heart, and raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes for Princess Yuanxi.

"Forever ......"

Hearing these two words that she had been looking forward to for a long time, Princess Yuanxi's eyes suddenly fluttered, and a glimmer of hope had just been ignited, but it immediately disappeared into the depths of her eyes.

"These two words are impossible for me to achieve. ”

As her injuries deteriorated rapidly, her breathing became more and more rapid, and her speech became more and more laborious, like a flower about to wither in winter.

"Actually, I'm already homeless, rather than living this life for a long time, and dying in the arms of my loved ones like this, maybe it's the best destination, right?"

"You won't die, you must hold on, I will take you home, and Yanwangfu will be your home in the future!"

Gao Heng said earnestly while hugging her by the waist, but saw Princess Yuanxi clasp Gao Heng's shoulders hard, and shouted out almost with all her strength.

"Your Highness, if there is a next life, can you... Can you just love me?"

"Okay, I promise you. ”

In order not to let the woman in his arms have any regrets, Gao Heng almost blurted out this answer.

Looking back, I saw a relieved and happy smile on the corner of Princess Yuanxi's blood-stained lips, but at the same time, the light in her eyes was slowly disappearing.

As soon as he took a step, he felt the hand on his shoulder slip down heavily.
