I stood on the cliff blankly, letting the wind blow through my fingertips, and I didn't feel the slightest feeling, and the words that Losh had just said were like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, completely shaking me.

Am I ever deposed? Sent to the cold?

Even the salary has been cut, and the life is worse than that of pigs and dogs......?

I'm not even as good as a palace maid?

"No...... No......" I shook my head and muttered, "How so?" How can this be? I don't believe it, what you say isn't true. ”

Losh looked at me with a sneer: "Really? ”

"If I really, if I was abolished and sent to the cold palace, how could I conceive his child? How could I be in Yangzhou? How so? ”

Luo Shi sneered: "I don't know about this, your news is just what I heard from Yuan Xiu, I don't care what happened to you." If you really want to know, you should find out for it yourself, not ask me. ”

“……”

His words were cold, piercing into people's chests like ice edges, but they calmed my love that was about to burst.

He's right, since I woke up with amnesia, I've gotten so little information about my past, it's all from that person's mouth, and if he wants to lie to me, it's very easy, I have to know, I have to check it myself, and if I want to find out, I have to- I have to go back!

Thinking of this, I gradually calmed down and turned my head to look at the south, the distant Dongzhou, but at this moment, I wanted to see the south of Dongzhou, the Texas that had not yet been invaded by the war.

My daughter is still there, and now I'm caught, and I don't know when I'll be able to go back.

I turned my head to look at Rosh and said, "Since you say that I have no place in the emperor's heart, what is the use of you arresting me?" Do you really think that he will exchange that, Miss Nangong, for me? ”

Rosh glanced at me, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, and didn't speak.

I didn't speak, but I knew what he meant—no way.

"In that case, then it is useless for me-you to arrest me."

"Not necessarily."

“……！”

I was stunned and looked at him in astonishment, only to see Lotsh's resolute gaze looking at Dongzhou, like an eagle falcon soaring in the sky, looking at the prey he was determined to get, and muttering, "Perhaps, you will be useful." ”

What?

I looked at him puzzled, only to see Luo Shi wave his hand, and a general immediately came behind him: "What does the prince command?" ”

"Immediately send my word to Dongzhou, and let the emperor of the Celestial Empire send Nangong Lizhu back in exchange for this woman. Otherwise—" he said, glancing at me out of the corner of his eye, and sneering slightly, "I'll let him never see this woman again." ”

My eyes widened in shock.

Does he really want to use me to exchange Nangong Lizhu? But he knew that I had no status in the emperor's heart, so why would he say such a thing? "I'll never see this woman again", what does this sentence mean, is it - if the emperor really doesn't return Miss Nangong, he will kill me?

The fear of death weighed heavily on my heart like the gloomy sky overhead.

For the next two days, I was like a person sleeping on the edge of a cliff, not knowing what would greet me in the next moment.

Perhaps, I already knew, but I was just afraid to face it.

Although the days are difficult, three days is not too long.

Early in the morning, as usual, I freshened up and walked out of the camp, only to find that almost everyone had come out, and General Losh and Ba, as well as Butu, were all sitting around a campfire, and all of them had strange expressions on their faces when they saw me come out.

I was silent and didn't speak, but Butu beckoned to me, "Come." ”

I walked over and he brought me a bowl of porridge as usual, I am not used to greasy barbecue, he has taken care of me these days.

I was holding the bowl of porridge and was about to bow my head to drink, but I heard Losh's voice with a sneer: "In the future, you still have to get used to the diet on the grassland." ”

“…… What do you mean? ”

He cut off a piece of roasted lamb leg meat and put it in his mouth, and without looking at me, he said while chewing: "They refused to exchange Nangong Lizhu for you." ”

Bang!

The bowl in my hand fell down at once, and the hot porridge spilled on the floor, squeaking on the flames.

And I no longer felt the pain of burning my instep, only a feeling of depression heavier than the gloomy sky above my head, and after a long time, I let out an "oh" and leaned down to pick up the wooden bowl on the ground.

Rosh looked at me with interest: "That's it? ”

I pinched the wooden bowl, my nails almost digging into it, and it took a lot of effort to calm myself, but only I knew that something was broken, like my voice: "No...... How? ”

"You're not afraid that I'll kill you, make your corpse ugly, and send it back to your emperor to see."

I thought about it, shook my head, and said, "You won't." ”

He killed Chang Qing on the battlefield before, and treated Chang Qing's body like that, and then they withdrew and took Chang Qing's body, I thought that the corpse would be miserable by them, but when I came here, I found that they actually got a coffin, put Chang Qing's body in it, and put it there respectfully.

The humiliation of Chang Qing's corpse is to hit the enemy's morale on the battlefield, which is a strategy that any side of the war will use, but in private, they still respect a man like Chang Qing very much, and because of this, I have an inexplicable peace of mind in my heart, and my life here is not difficult.

It's just that this moment is harder than ever, because of that powerlessness and anger - my life is in the hands of someone else, but someone else, so lightly, gives up.

Rosh said: "Since you think I won't, then what are you afraid of?" ”

I said, "There are many things in this world that are more terrible than death. My daughter is still young, and she can't even call her mother, and if I really die, I will die without a blind eye. ”

He raised an eyebrow and said, "Actually, I'm not interested in breaking you up and your daughter, it's just a pity-"

"What a pity?"

"It's a pity they chose the wrong one."

“……”

My heart tightened suddenly, and I looked up at him almost in despair, and Rosh slowly raised his hand, and I looked at his thick arms, and the thick fingers of the joints, which might have been able to break my neck without a trace of effort, and I closed my eyes, and at this moment, I saw that Butu behind him frowned slightly, as if hesitating about something.

However, the expected killing move did not come, only to hear Losh suddenly say: "Someone." ”

I opened my eyes in shock, only to see General Ba and Butu immediately stepped forward and looked at Losh deferentially, and Losh said word by word: "Withdraw the troops!" ”

I could never have imagined that Losh would make an army of 400,000 retreat!

The battle has been fought to this point, Shengjing and the imperial court are actually very expensive, even if he has lost the opportunity, now there is Huang Tianba in Dongzhou to restrain him, this battle continues to fight is indeed not too much advantage, but at this time, withdrawing the army is really not like a choice that people like Luo Shi will make.

But why did he withdraw?

But in addition to the horror, my life was saved, it turned out that what he said before was to make them never see me again, and he wanted to bring me back to Shengjing, so that maybe the people of the Celestial Empire would really never see me again.

But even if I picked up a life, my mood was not much lighter, so that I would never see Li'er again, my daughter was not even half a year old, maybe she still hadn't remembered who her mother was, and I was going to lose her forever.

Thinking of this, my heart hurts like being cut by a knife.

However, although it is painful, I do not despair, as long as people are alive, there are countless possibilities.

I was escorted by them to the north, the terrain of Yunling is dangerous, dozens of miles of endless mountains are steep and rugged, the team walks in the valley, looking at the towering mountains on both sides, every night, reminds me of the fierce tigers and beasts that pounce.

After a day's walking, Losh suddenly gave the order to General Ba and lead a group of men and horses to turn around and go to the rear.

After he gave this order, he called General Ba to the camp tent, and asked General Ba for a long time before he came out, looking a little strange, and he also looked at me.

I have a vague feeling that the purpose of Losh's withdrawal this time does not seem to be simple.

In the next two or three days, our huge team also slowed down the pace of progress, and slowly moved forward in the rugged mountains, the further north, the colder the weather became, and my body gradually became a little unbearable.

Two days later, General Ba sent someone back to report that the Celestial Empire had indeed sent a team north into the Yunling area, and had already fought an encounter with their team, each with casualties.

Rosh stood at the door of the tent, the campfire in the distance jumping in the night, casting a thick shadow on his hard and handsome face, and I could not see the expression on his face, but only his eyes, like eagles: "And now? ”

"Back to the prince, General Ba has been defeated and is retreating."

"Well, who is the leader?"

"It's Yang Yunhui, and -- the person who appeared that day."

“……”

I turned my head to look at them at once, and saw that in the darkness, a light flashed in Rosh's eyes, and after a while, the corners of his lips hooked up a smile: "Very good, go down." ”

"Yes, Prince."

After the man retreated, Rosh's mood seemed to change a little, and when he turned his head and saw me, he slowly walked up to me, bowed his head and said with a smile: "They really sent someone to save you." ”

“……”

"Why, you don't seem to be happy at all?"

“……”

I didn't speak, just flipped the meat over the campfire again.

It's really "heartfelt" to send someone to save me after rejecting the exchange, but I don't know, if Luo Shi stabbed me the moment they refused, what's the point of sending Huang Tianba and Yang Yunhui now, and transport a corpse back to hang?

Rosh was still looking at me, and I slowly raised my head, met the shallow and restrained eyes, and said, "It seems that you are happier than me." ”

“……”

"What the hell are you going to do?"
