After successfully suppressing the rebellion of the tribes in the northwest and Mingjin withdrawing his troops, at the Rapid Wind Slope of Changling County, thirty miles away from the capital, the Red Feather Army, which had just won a great victory, was marching quickly.

For the sudden change in the wind and rain in the court at this moment, because Emperor Zhou intended to send someone to block the news, Gao Heng, Chen Fu and others did not know about it.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the capital, the uneasiness and suspicion in his heart gradually dissipated because of the calm and calm now, and turned to the joy of reuniting with Cheng Jinzhi and Concubine Hui.

Although he was able to return victoriously so easily this time, it was indispensable for Yuan Xigong to take the initiative to use the generosity of his home country to help.

But even if he was grateful for this, he was also vividly moved by her for following her wholeheartedly these days, bravely going into battle to kill the enemy, and even had a little guilt.

But whenever he faced Princess Yuanxi's affectionate eyes, full of expectation and forbearance, Gao Heng knew that he could not give warmth and love between lovers and lovers after all.

Even if it's just for a fleeting moment.

It's just that after these days of getting along day and night, in Gao Heng's eyes, she is no longer just a proud and pampered princess of the enemy country, but more women who do not let the combination of rigidity and softness and tenacity of the eyebrows.

If Cheng Jinzhi hadn't appeared in his life, maybe he would really be as Princess Yuanxi said at the beginning, and he would be sincere, right?

However, even if she was able to solve Gao Heng's worries and successfully quell the war this time, and proved that Nan Chu had no sinister intentions, Princess Yuanxi did not feel very happy at this moment.

She stared sideways at Gao Heng, who was riding a horse and whipping beside her, and her face was silent, and she suddenly lost her mind in a daze.

As soon as she thought that the man she loved was about to reunite with another woman, and continued to spend time in front of her, raising her eyebrows, she only felt a suffocation in her chest, and even every inch of skin on the inner wall of her heart felt as if it had been burned by fire.

If she could, she would rather have no end to this road, just go on with Gao Heng and never set foot on the road back.

Because the wind slope is surrounded by mountains and rocks, the terrain is relatively dangerous, and you must walk slowly.

Just as the team was marching smoothly and orderly between the mountain streams, suddenly, a slender arrow flew from the mountain rocks in the distance at great speed, and pierced straight into an ancient tree by the side of the road.

"Be careful, there's an ambush!"

As Chen Fu shouted, the entire huge army suddenly tensed up and tensed, lest it be attacked by unknown forces.

But after a long silence, there was no movement except for the sound of the wind and the rustling of leaves.

"There's something on that arrow. ”

Gao Heng said in a deep voice, tightening his pupils and staring at the dazzling arrow in his field of vision, and a heavy feeling of uneasiness spread in his heart.

Before he could make any move, he saw that Princess Yuanxi had already taken the lead in stepping forward, took off the arrow, and then turned around and handed it to Gao Heng.

Gao Heng pondered for a moment, then raised his hand to take it, and when he got closer, he realized that what was tied to the arrow was something similar to a letter.

He opened the letter with a puzzled expression, and his eyes widened in disbelief the moment his eyes made contact with the lines on it.

For a while, he only felt a violent feeling of dizziness coming from the top of his head, the green tendons of his hand holding the paper flared up, and his already deep and cold eyes were even more frosty at this moment, but if he looked closely, he could glimpse clusters of scorching firelight.

However, after being silent for a long time, I saw that his eyes were slightly closed, and only the corners of his lips were cold and bone-chilling, and a daunting sneer.

Originally, he still suspected that this was just a trap for some well-intentioned people to deceive and deceive.

But he clearly recognized that this was Cen Feng's note.

Long before going to the northwest, under Cheng Jinzhi's reminder, Gao Heng had already expected that the prince would take advantage of his absence from Beijing to take action, so he specially arranged for Shen Jun to stay in the mansion to protect her.

But I never thought that this was a long-planned situation within a game, and it was beyond human control.

Nan Chu, who is hypocritical and righteous in his eyes at the moment, is a hungry wolf who has been lurking by his side for a long time and is wearing sheep's clothing.

Although he knew that the reason why Cen Feng took the risk of finding someone to come to report the news was because he didn't want to rush back to the capital to "throw himself into the net".

But when I thought that Cheng Jinzhi and Concubine Hui were in dire straits at this time, there was no room for a turning around on this road.

Between him and the crown prince, since the pain of losing a child, he is destined to leave only one person.

I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

"Your Highness, what's the matter?

Seeing that Gao Heng's complexion suddenly became extremely severe, Princess Yuanxi cautiously asked out of concern, and couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in her heart.

Hearing Princess Yuan Xi's voice, thinking of her and Yuan Peng's hypocritical faces, Gao Heng's heart suddenly sank, and a heavy hatred surged out of his heart, and then slowly turned his eyes to her.

All along, even if he had reservations and suspicions about Yuan Peng, he was still willing to believe that Princess Yuan Xi was sincere to him.

But in front of such a precarious life and death catastrophe, he could no longer persuade himself to trust anyone in Nanchu.

Including the Nanchu princess in front of her.

Looking at the piercing chill in Gao Heng's eyes, Princess Yuanxi's eyes trembled heavily, and she didn't understand the reason for the incident at all.

She moved her lips with a tense expression, and before she could speak, she saw a cold light flash in front of her.

When she came back to her senses, she was suddenly shocked to realize that Gao Heng's Lingxiao sword was already on her neck.

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Seeing the sudden scene, everyone, including Chen Fu, couldn't help but be shocked, and Princess Yuanxi looked at Gao Heng in amazement, and the whole person was stunned like a cold statue.

"Why? Why?"

Gao Heng's sword eyebrows furrowed, and he coldly squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, and even the hand holding the hilt of the sword trembled slightly.

"What have I done that is unforgivable, asking His Highness to draw his sword like this?"

Princess Yuanxi bit her lower lip tightly, her voice was hoarse, and her eyes were already red.

Even though she had imagined being left out by Gao Heng countless times, she withered away all her life.

But he never thought that one day, he would be pointed at by his loved ones.

"It's such a coincidence, your home country here is so kind and willing to borrow troops to help, that father has already listened to the traitor's words, believes that I and Nan Chu intend to rebel, and even found your brother's handwritten letter from my mansion. Now that Jin Zhi and his mother have been taken into custody and controlled, and when I return to the capital, I will inevitably become the target of public criticism. ”

Gao Heng's tone was not hurried, and there was no trace of warmth, which made people feel stiff in their hands and feet, and cold in their backs.

"Your purpose has been accomplished. ”
