A few days after the expeditionary force was stationed in the highlands of Dabang, the first major battle was approaching.

After several tentative encounters, the Khoro River Khanate took the lead in opening the battle line and arranging troops, and the sound of drums approached the Yao ** battalion. The previous sneak attack caused Yaoguo to lose a lot of troops, and the soldiers who had lost their brothers and siblings gritted their teeth and their eyes were red like blood, eager to avenge their relatives and friends by tearing apart the enemy, if it weren't for Yi Chenjing's explicit ban on sending troops, I was afraid that the war between the two sides would have already begun.

The beacon fire is about to rise, like an arrow on the bow, and the tense atmosphere makes all the soldiers of the distant country forget about another unthinkable thing - tomorrow, the third young master of the Bai family brought by the fifth prince will be burned at the stake.

That's the princess's own brother, the prince and his wife, who were praised as a match made in heaven a few days ago, how could they be strangers in a blink of an eye? What big mistake did a young man make to apologize for his crimes?

The answer lies only in the hearts of those involved.

Bai Qige no longer expected to shake Yi Chenjing's determination, his temper was like this, and it was extremely difficult to persuade him, especially about Princess Hongxuan, he ...... He wanted to destroy everything in the world single-handedly, just to let the jade soul feel his lovesickness, completely ignoring the injury of who was behind him to break the promise.

That's it, it's better to ask for others than for yourself, since Yi Chenjing refuses to let go, then she can only rely on herself.

Bai Haoyu, she must be saved!

That night, Bai Qige, who had been haggard for many days and had not been groomed, dressed up and came to the cage with food, Xiao Baishan, who came with him, made a look, and the soldier in charge of guarding the cage nodded respectfully and retreated into the distance, looking at the eyes of the two sisters and brothers inside and outside the cage full of doubts.

"The princess has something to say as soon as possible, the general only allows your brothers and sisters to meet one last time to say goodbye, and it will be difficult to recover at the end of the time if it is too long."

"Thank you, General Shaw." Bai Qige forced a smile and thanked him, and a touch of guilt in his eyes was fleeting, "This jar of wine was left by Boss Ning, take it to warm their bodies, thanks to them for taking care of Xiao Yu these days, I have nothing to repay, just a little heart." ”

Following what Bai Qige was pointing at, the two guards who secretly looked at this side were swallowing their saliva expectantly, and when they saw the two looking back, they hurriedly covered up. Xiao Baishan sighed in a low voice: "It's hard for the princess to think about them at this time." It's okay, it's cold at night, I'll take them to the tent to rest and rest, and if the princess is done, she will go there to find us." ”

Nodding his head and seeing Xiao Baishan's burly back leave, the corners of Bai Qige's lips were bitter, his face became more and more pale, and he quickly erased his gloomy expression before turning around and squatting outside the cage and whispering: "Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu?" ”

Tortured by Yi Chenxuan to the point that he was not humanoid and imprisoned by Yi Chenjing, the fierce wind and sand in the north made the pampered third young master of the Bai family languished and weakened, and he looked almost out of breath, and his stagnant eyes stayed on Bai Qige's face for a long time before he reacted.

"Sister...... Help me......"

The hoarse and weak voice made Bai Qige's heart sour, and he put down the food and held Bai Haoyu's cold palm tightly: "Don't be afraid, Xiao Yu, it's going to be fine." ”

"You lied to me...... They...... They want to kill me, burn me......" Thinking of death, the survival instinct suddenly surged in the desperate young man's body, and his voice was raised suddenly, "I don't want to die, sister, save me, you save me!" It's none of my business, I only became like this by listening to you! ”

Is it her business? Inexplicably, she became a sinner who bears the shame of family hatred and national shame, not to mention being despised and destroyed by people in every way, who would have thought that everything had anything to do with her? Seeing Bai Haoyu put all the responsibility on her, Bai Qige felt unspeakably uncomfortable in her heart, this is her blood-related relatives, why doesn't even her younger brother want to see her? Even if she was guilty of the worst crimes, why did she desperately rub salt into her wounds if everything she was doing now was to save him?

People are inevitably excited when they are nervous, Bai Qige is also flesh and blood, with mortal distress, no matter how strong he is, there will eventually be times when he is tired and vulnerable. However, she understands that at this moment, she can't complain, a catastrophe is coming, if the slightest shake will cause Bai Haoyu to lose his life, and her brother is dead, what face will she have to meet her father and mother, and how will she face the mistakes made by this body and the determination to take on everything at the beginning?

Taking a deep breath to hold back the heartache, Bai Qige pinched Bai Haoyu's palm, and there was an irrefutable sternness in his eyes: "Shut up, don't shout anymore." ”

Xu had never seen a weak and cowardly sister with such an expression, Bai Haoyu subconsciously snorted, and followed Bai Qige's meaning to stop making noise, but the horror in his eyes was still the same as before.

"Listen, Xiao Yu, my sister will save you if she fights hard." The bowl full of gruel was stuffed into the cage, and Bai Qige whispered as he blew the dust on the steamed bun, "You eat something to replenish your strength first, and I'll come and take you away later." ”

"You...... Didn't lie to me? Bai Haoyu looked at the dark-faced woman in disbelief, and there seemed to be a hint of pleading in her hesitant tone.

"You are my brother, how could I lie to you and abandon you? Be obedient, eat these, and it won't be long before I'll be back and take you out of here. Avoiding those faint gazes, Bai Qige turned to the tent where Xiao Baishan and the others were resting a hundred steps away, and his white palms clenched into fists.

Having come to this point, I'm afraid there will be no turning back, right?

What is said that Bai Shou will not leave each other and will not give up, compared with that person is just empty words after all, and she has a cold and warm heart, hot and cold several times, and she is no longer willing to deceive herself and suffer.

Walked firmly towards the tent, paused outside the tent for a moment, and then lifted the curtain and entered. In the dim camp tent with oil lamps, two soldiers guarding the cage and Xiao Baishan were lying on the ground staggeringly, with a deep snoring sound with drunkenness, and the three wine bowls on the side overturned, faintly emitting the enticing aroma of wine.

This wine is not fake, but it is not used to drink, but it is used to paralyze the consciousness of injured soldiers to facilitate the treatment of severe pain wounds, so the alcohol is extremely powerful, and ordinary people will be completely drunk and fall down without a bowl of tea. The wine that saves people is used to harm people, Bai Qige never thought that he would do such a despicable thing one day.

What if you don't? She had no choice.

Untied the horizontal knife from the soldier and put it in his hand, Bai Qige carefully pushed Xiao Baishan, who was asleep with his head tilted, and after making sure that the other party had no reaction, he let out a sigh and hurried back to the cage.

In order to escape for his life, Bai Haoyu forced himself to eat the food and sat in the cage for a while, the lost strength in his body was somewhat withdrawn, and when he heard the sound of horses' hooves, he looked up, not surprisingly, it was his sister Bai Qige who went and returned.

"Get on the horse." Using the key he had collected from the guards to untie the chains of the cage, Bai Qige pointed to the horse behind him, and his expression was rarely solemn.

Although Bai Haocheng was ignorant, he also understood that it was a matter of life and death, so he silently climbed on the horse's back, the boulder in his heart fell to the ground, and he spoke a lot more calmly: "Sister, are we going back to Zhaoguo?" ”

"It's not going back to Zhaoguo, it's going home." Bai Qige, who turned over on another horse, said in a light tone, "I will send you to Lingyun City, and you can go the rest by yourself." Xiao Yu, listen to my sister's words, don't do anything to make my father and mother sad, okay? When they are old, their only hope is that you can start a family and start a business in peace. The second brother and I have their own burdens, and the task of honoring your father and mother can only be entrusted to you, as long as you can go to the stubborn spirit and be a good person, my sister will not hesitate to sacrifice everything for you. ”

In my memory, my sister was not a person who would say these words at all, Bai Haoyu looked sideways in surprise, under the moonlight, her thin face was as calm as stagnant water, and it was chilling.

"Sister, won't you go back with me?"

A faint smile appeared on her lips, Bai Qige didn't know if it was a bitter smile or a self-deprecating laugh: "I said, I also have my own burden." What has been promised cannot be reversed, I promised Yi Chenjing that he would not leave him, then he will keep the contract in this life and will not be destroyed. ”

She said that she would be by his side - of course, he also said that he would never leave his previous suspicions, but he ended up swinging his sword at her.

Oath is such a thing, and the only person who is still sticking to it is his stupid self, right? For some reason, it is clear that Yi Chenjing is no longer worthy of trust, and the oath that belongs to her has never been willing to be destroyed with her own hands.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded in the vast plain, Bai Haoyu was in front, Bai Qige was behind, two equally thin bodies were bumping on the horse, swaying in the wind, no one could have imagined that these two people would be the children of the Bai family who moved the world. As the moonlight thinned and the rising sun rose in the distant east, the warmth of the first light sprinkled all over the body, taking away the cold and cold of the night.

Lingyun City was almost here, and the horses that had galloped all night began to slow down, and the exhausted Bai Haoyu coughed constantly, and Bai Qige had to stop and immediately go forward to ask.

"It's okay, maybe it's a cold wind." Bai Haoyu changed his previous attitude with an honest and calm face, and looked at Bai Qige with more respect, "Sister, will you be punished if you go back like this?" Will the general let you go? I think you'd better go back to Zhaoguo with me—"

"If I go back with you, there will be no peace in the kingdom of Zhao."

After a long silence, the third son of the Bai family, who was arrogant but not stupid, understood what she meant, and looked guilty. Although he had already been awarded the title of major general by King Zhaomin, Bai Haoyu was only a teenager in his early seventeens after all, Bai Qige didn't want him to be bound by the mistakes he made when he was young, and just wanted to open his mouth to comfort, but he glanced out of the corner of his eye, and saw a figure on horseback sneakily hiding in the grass in the distance.

Bai Qige gasped.

Someone is stalking them!

"Xiao Yu, do you see the boulder in front of you? When you get there, you speed up and run in the direction of Lingyun City, no matter what happens, don't look back. When you go to Lingyun City, go to find a Boss Ning, he should be living in the Chengdong Inn, you just need to tell him that I asked him to send you back to Zhaoguo, don't ask anything else, understand? ”

Suddenly, the serious and vigilant tone made Bai Haoyu quite frightened, especially the moment he saw Bai Qige's white fingers touching the horizontal knife on his waist, the young man's delicate face turned pale.

"No! Sister! You can't beat those people! ”

Whether it was Xiao Baishan, who had experienced a hundred battles, or Yi Chenxuan, who was cold and evil, Bai Haoyu didn't think that his sister, who didn't understand martial arts and was frail and sickly, could resist the enemy who was tracking. Yi Chenxuan hates her and regards her as a stumbling block, while Yi Chenjing hates her to the bone, no matter which side it falls into, she will never end well.

Bai Qige also understands these.

Jumping on horseback and walking alongside his younger brother, Bai Qige tilted his head and straightened his back, not giving Bai Haoyu the slightest chance to object.

"You are my brother, live well."

The horizontal knife is half an inch out of the sheath, and the snow-bright blade reflects the warm red light of the morning sun, which is dazzling, as if it is the owner who clings to it. Bai Qige turned the horse's head to face the tracker, and the hand holding the knife did not tremble in the slightest.

Anyone who wants to hurt her family will end up with nothing more than death for you.
