Chapter 70: The Covenant

"I'll help you." Tuoba Yu sighed and said.

Yu Ruoxu smiled, "Your Highness doesn't have to be like this. โ€œ

Tuoba Yu glanced at her steadily, and took off the big coat on his body, "You stand here and don't move, I'll just go up." โ€œ

Yu Ruoxu didn't refuse, just nodded.

Tuoba Yu climbed the flagpole, compared to his two brothers, he was not particularly tall, and he has always appeared in front of everyone as a weak figure. But he climbed the flagpole much more vigorously than she expected, in the cold moonlight, he quickly climbed to the top of the flagpole, carefully plucked Pei Yuan's head with one hand, and then slid to the ground.

"Thank you." For some reason, Yu Ruoxu couldn't help but choke up a little.

Tuoba Yu put Pei Yuanyuan's head into the wooden box prepared in advance, "I have inquired, his body is on the other side of the grave, you ...... Do you want to go over? โ€

Yu Ruoxu stretched out her hand to take the wooden box, "Of course." โ€œ

Tuoba Yu shook his head and blocked her hand, "You have a shoulder injury, so I'll come." โ€

"How do you know?" Yu Ruoxu was a little surprised, she didn't remember that she had sued him.

"Doctor Liu sued me." Tuoba Yu paused, "At that time, you were tortured by your eldest brother to a high fever, and Dr. Liu came to treat you and found that your right shoulder was injured twice, and both of them were not lightly injured. โ€

Yu Ruoxu said vaguely, "That's all in the past." โ€œ

Tuoba Yu glanced at her, didn't say anything, and walked in the other direction with the wooden box in his arms.

The graves in the grassland are no different from the mass graves in the Central Plains, and they are nothing more than the final destination of all kinds of prisoners. However, the mass graves in the Central Plains are dust to dust, and this is a picnic for all kinds of fierce beasts on the grassland.

However, when people are grieving, they forget what it means to be afraid.

Yu Ruoxu and Tuoba Yu found Pei Changyuan's body and dragged him out of the grave, Tuoba Yu also found a shovel and found a slightly cleaner place to bury Pei Changyuan.

The two were speechless the whole time, and when the last shovel of soil was poured on, Yu Ruoxu sat paralyzed on the ground, and the whole person seemed to have collapsed.

Tuoba Yu also sat beside her and whispered, "Don't be too upset. โ€œ

"I'm fine." Yu Ruoxu smiled faintly, "I just feel sorry for him...... failed to stand up to protect him at the moment of life and death, but hid and became a shrunken turtle. โ€œ

There seemed to be tears shining in the corners of her eyes, "It's too late to say anything...... People are dead, what's the use of regretting it. โ€

Tuoba Yu looked at her side face, her jaw seemed to be trembling slightly, and her cheeks were clenched tightly, as if she was trying to hold back the surging sadness, so she couldn't help but gently pat her shoulder, "Don't blame yourself for everything." โ€œ

Yu Ruoxu closed her eyes, and two lines of tears slipped down, "This was originally my fault." โ€œ

"It's his own choice." Tuoba Yu persuaded, "I admire him, he was tortured like this by his second brother, and he resolutely did not reveal a word...... He's a tough guy. โ€

Yu Ruoxu covered her face with her hands and cried silently.

Not only for Pei Changyuan, but also for the sake of being forcibly taken to the grassland.

When she stepped into the ghost gate with half a foot, she could barely hold on, and at that time she was thinking, why didn't Liang Jin come to her yet?

She was able to hold on for so long, nothing more than firmly believing that Liang Jin would save her back.

But she waited for so many days, but only waited for Pei Changyuan to die in front of her.

Where did Liang Jin go? She wants him here!

"Or I'm too useless." After a while, Yu Ruoxu wiped her tears and said in a low voice, "I'm too weak...... I always thought that that person would come to my rescue...... People, you still have to rely on yourself. โ€

Before she finished speaking, Yu Ruoxu's eyes bloomed, and she instantly fell into a warm embrace.

"King Ning......" She was a little distracted for a while.

"You want to go back, don't you?" Tuobayu's low voice came from overhead.

Yu Ruoxu didn't know why, so he stretched out his hand to push him, "King Ning, I ......"

"Don't move, answer my question first." Tuoba Yu pressed her in his arms and made her unable to move, "Do you want to go back anyway...... Or, is it okay to stay here? โ€

Yu Ruoxu frowned, "Of course I want to go back...... The sooner the better. โ€

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ Good. Tuoba Yu paused, his voice suddenly became a little hoarse, "I will do my best to send you back." โ€

Yu Ruoxu couldn't see his expression, "...... What's the solution? โ€

"You don't have to know that." Tuoba Yu slowly let go of her and held her shoulder, "If you are willing to believe me again." โ€

Yu Ruoxu was stunned and nodded slightly, "Okay, I believe you." โ€œ

A few days later, Tuoba Gui suddenly ordered, saying that Tuoba Yuan had been locked up for so many days, and it was time to release it, and at the same time announced that Tuoba Yu was in charge of Xianbei's internal affairs, Tuoba Yuan was responsible for foreign expeditions, the two sides were on an equal footing, and military affairs must be discussed with each other.

As soon as this order came out, there was an uproar on the grassland.

When Yu Ruoxu heard the news, she was sorting out books for Princess Jiangcheng in her tent. When Zhu'er ran in breathlessly and crackled and spoke, Yu Ruoxu's mind suddenly went blank.

Tuoba Yuan has been released again?!

Princess Jiangcheng also frowned, "Khan really said that?" โ€

"That's right, now the entire royal court has exploded." Zhu'er nodded hurriedly, "The slave saw many generals going to the king's tent with gifts, and it is estimated that it is very lively now." โ€

Princess Jiangcheng looked at Yu Ruoxu and saw that her face was a little pale, so she comforted, "Don't be nervous, he has just been released, I'm afraid he won't have the time to trouble you." โ€

Yu Ruoxu reluctantly pulled out a smile, "I hope so." โ€

She doesn't have a second life to compete with Tuoba Yuan anymore.

"It's time to worship the heavens soon." Princess Jiangcheng thought for a while, "Usually not long after the spring hunt is over, the khan will take everyone in the royal family to worship the gods, and at that time the guards are relatively weak, I will arrange for you to escape quietly." โ€

Yu Ruoxu's eyes lit up when she heard the word "escape", "Really? โ€

"Yes." Princess Jiangcheng said lightly, "When the time comes, you pretend to be sick first, and I can justifiably let people take you away, you remember, keep running forward, don't look back, you know?" โ€

Yu Ruoxu's heart seemed to be loaded with a deer, and she kept jumping, "Thank you, Queen!" โ€œ

"I promised you, and I will do it." Princess Jiangcheng's gaze became a little sharp, "So you don't have to go around begging others." โ€œ

Yu Ruoxu was startled, as if something was stuck in her throat, and she couldn't speak.

Did Tuoba Yu go to her? Or did she see something?

"The people's girls know their mistakes." Yu Ruoxu leaned down and knelt in front of her, "Please forgive the queen." โ€

Princess Jiangcheng glanced down at her, "Although the king was punished and closed, his eyeliner is still there, if you still cherish your life, you'd better be careful, don't harm others and yourself because of your own selfish desires." โ€œ

Yu Ruoxu bit her lip, "The folk girl understands. โ€œ

"You're a person who understands, so I won't say anything." Princess Jiangcheng rubbed her temples, "Let's go down first." โ€

Yu Ruoxu walked out of the tent and let out a long breath.

Princess Jiangcheng is right, Tuoba Yu is now a hot character in the whole Xianbei, and he doesn't know how many people are waiting to catch his mistakes, what happened last night was too risky, and if it was discovered by someone with a heart, there was really no way to explain it.

She couldn't help but be a little afraid, she was so sad at the time that she didn't notice this. But this is too different from Tuoba Yu's character. According to his previous temperament, he would never take this risk to accompany her to collect Pei Changyuan's body, and promised to send her back.

Yu Ruoxu was a little puzzled, thinking intently while walking, and suddenly a person came out next to her, Yu Ruoxu didn't pay attention, and instantly collided with that person.

"Ouch!" The man rubbed his shoulder, "What's going on?" Don't you walk with long eyes? โ€

Yu Ruoxu was also hit by a little wolf bรจi, and almost fell to the ground, "I'm sorry." โ€œ

"It's really ......," the man complained a few words, "look at it when you walk in the future, if you bump into the prince and the khan, I don't think you can eat and walk around!" โ€œ

Yu Ruo straightened out her clothes, still looking humble, "The slave knows her mistakes." โ€œ

"You ......" The man looked at her face and took a few steps closer, Yu Ruoxu frowned with some disgust, looked up carefully, and was suddenly startled.

The person in front of him was Lord Qiu Dun, the Xianbei envoy who attended the little emperor's birthday banquet at that time!

They had also met before in Tuoba Yuan's tent. However, she was described as withered at that time, her face was pale, and her hair was messy, and it is estimated that he thought she was just an ordinary female prisoner at that time.

Yu Ruoxu was a little nervous in her heart, and Lord Qiu Dun looked at her carefully, "Have we met somewhere?" โ€œ

"The adult recognized the wrong person, how could the slave and maid have seen the adult." Yu Ruoxu said in a low voice.

"I remember you." Lord Chudun thought for a moment, "The King of England has always been obsessed with you, and it is really the best thing that you can't get...... But the first time I saw you, it felt familiar, and I always felt as if I had seen you somewhere before. โ€œ

Cold sweat oozed from Yu Ruoxu's back, "The adult laughed. โ€œ

"No, I'm sure I've seen it." Lord Qiu Dun didn't plan to stop like this, Yu Ruoxu's hands trembled a little, blessed his body, and said, "The queen still has something to tell the slave and maid to do, if the lord has nothing to do, the slave and maid will retire first." โ€œ

After that, Yu Ruoxu was about to turn around and leave, when Lord Qiu Dun's voice suddenly sounded, "I remember, you are the young lady of the Taifu family!" โ€œ
