Liu Pan led his troops to rush to the residence of Princess Ma Yuan of Chongwen, and when he arrived, he saw the guards outside the door lying in a pool of blood, and the door of the house was open, and he immediately felt bad.

When he entered the house, he couldn't find Ma Yuan, and he looked a little panicked.

But he didn't dare to delay, and immediately turned around and moved to the back door of the pass, preparing to go out of the pass to gather with his own army and report the matter to His Majesty.

Halfway through the procession, Ning Ze's army suddenly came out in front, led by Ning Yong.

Liu Pan led his troops forward to fight with him, and more Chinese soldiers and horses gathered around him, gradually forming an encirclement.

Liu Pan rushed left and right, trying to break through.

However, the opposing army gathered more and more, and finally exhausted and captured.

Ma Jian's army suffered heavy losses, the main force fled from the pass, and the stragglers who stayed here were Ning Ze's opponents?

After a fierce battle, Ning Ze's soldiers and horses successfully occupied the border pass.

In this battle, more than 3,000 soldiers and horses of Nancheng were eliminated, and Zu Hong, the leader of Lihu, Liu Pan, the Taishou of Qiangyang, and Ma Yuan, the princess of Chongwen, were captured, and the general Pei Ji was brought back, and more than 2,000 defenders of the pass gave up resistance.

Entering the pass, Ning Ze was not in a hurry to pursue Ma Jian, but ordered the pass to be repaired and the entrance and exit of the tunnel blocked. After that, he used the magic medicine method to restore the wounded soldiers for the army and count the battle damage.

Pei Ji and Princess Chongwen Ma Yuan were also brought back to the Guannei, and there was a special person in charge of guarding.

The husband and wife are in the same room, but their position changes.

For Ning Zejun's capture of the pass, Ma Jian took the lead in evacuating, and Ma Yuan was quite desperate. She never thought that this trip to the border would have such a situation.

The defeat of Nancheng's army was not good news for her. Rujin is in the enemy camp, which makes her even more afraid of what she will experience next.

His eyes fell on Pei Ji, and he secretly thought that with him, maybe he was safe, right? No matter how he said it, it was also a husband and wife, could he bear to watch himself being insulted by the enemy?

When Ma Yuan stared at Pei Ji, Pei Ji was also looking at her. The husband and wife are in the same room, but the atmosphere is very strange at the moment.

After a long time, Ma Yuan finally couldn't help but speak: "Things are like gold, are you satisfied?" Everything is as you wish, take refuge in Huaguo, and you will not be able to lose your glory and wealth?"

"You still don't believe me!" Pei Ji looked sad.

"How do you want me to believe you? Things have come to this point, what's the point of you denying it?" Ma Yuan shook her head.

"Do you think I want to come this far?" Pei Ji looked directly at Ma Yuan, "Pei Mou is worthy of his heart, he is loyal to Nan Cheng, and he has no dissenting intentions! From beginning to end, there was no idea of betraying Nancheng. Your Majesty is suspicious of me, and it is a matter of course! As a monarch, you should have such suspicions! The ministers of the court and the central government are suspicious of me? But you and I are husband and wife, the most familiar people? Even you doubt me? It's the most hurtful!"

"You have pleaded guilty yourself, why do you need to say more?" Ma Yuan said coldly.

Pei Ji smiled bitterly: "What if I don't admit my guilt? They beat me to death? Still let me draw a charge, anyway, this stigma can't be washed off on my head? It makes no difference whether to admit guilt or not......"

Husband and wife looking at each other? Ma Yuan saw the sincerity in her husband's eyes? He thought to himself that in such a situation, there was no need for him to lie to himself. Thinking of this, he said to Pei Ji, "Can you look into my eyes and tell the whole thing as it is?"

"Why not?" Pei Ji told him what had happened before. Sighed after saying that? "If I have the heart to betray Nancheng, will I be stupid and wait to be caught?"

Ma Yuan was in a state of anger and sadness because she was deceived by her husband before, so she naturally couldn't calm down. Now that the husband and wife are talking face to face, feel the sincerity of their husbands? Finally believed his words: "So you are just coveting that wealth, and you have been framed for the crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country? Who hates your husband so much?" I'm going to put you to death?"

"I don't know!" Pei Ji thought about it carefully, there were many people he had offended in the court, and many of them had motives.

"Since the husband is wronged," Ma Yuan whispered, "Can you and I find a chance to escape from the enemy camp and return to Your Majesty together to explain clearly! Your Majesty is my brother after all, as long as you explain it well, maybe ......"

"It's useless!" Pei Ji shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The wood is already in the boat, starting from His Majesty's murderous intent, and there is no going back! Not to mention that you and I fell into the hands of Ning Ze, and we will not be allowed to leave easily." Even if Ning Ze is generous and willing to let my husband and wife return to Nancheng, Your Majesty will definitely suspect that you and I have taken refuge in Ning Ze and will not believe us!"

"How is that possible? That's my own brother. Ma Yuan didn't believe it, "As long as you explain it well, my brother will definitely believe me!

"You and Your Majesty are indeed brother and sister, but Chanpei is Your Majesty's biological daughter!" Pei Ji reminded, "Your Majesty's love for Chanpei is far better than yours, and in front of Jiangshan Sheji, you can also ruthlessly give her to Ning Ze." Think about it carefully, even if you and I return to Nancheng, Your Majesty can really dispel your suspicions?"

Ma Yuan was silent when she heard this, she still knew her brother's personality quite well. Calm down and think about it carefully, the husband and wife fell into the hands of Ning Ze, and it was impossible for them to return safely. Even if Ning Ze opened the net and let the two go home, it would make His Majesty even more suspicious at that time, and he would feel that the husband and wife had betrayed Nan Cheng and made some kind of agreement with Ning Ze to go back alive.

Even if the beheading of the husband and wife is ordered, it is not impossible to eliminate the hidden danger.

This made her quite frustrated, and she thought carefully about how to return to Nancheng, and then dispel her brother's suspicions and get everything back on track. But looking at her husband, everything he had experienced before seemed to make him disheartened, and the mention of returning to Nancheng would always make him frown.

Come to think of it, no matter how much he defended, no one believed him at all. The elder brother even ordered torture and torture to extract confessions. was tortured to death, and it was difficult for anyone to eliminate the estrangement. The grievances and resentment in my heart form the biggest obstacle.

It's just that Ma Yuan wants to go home, Ma Jian is her brother after all. It is better to be a high-ranking princess in Nancheng than to be a prisoner of Huaguo. She also didn't know if she would be bullied here, and what kind of future would await her. After all, she wanted to find a perfect way to allow the couple to return to Nancheng safely, and to return to their previous life without being suspected by their brother.

"The prince has arrived~" At this moment, someone suddenly spread the word outside.

Pei Ji sat up painfully and looked at the door vigilantly.

Ma Yuan was also startled, quickly came to the bedside, and hid behind her husband to feel a little safe.

The door quickly opened to both sides, and Ning Ze entered the house, smiling at Pei Ji and Ma Yuan: "General Pei, Mrs. Pei, excuse me!"

Ma Yuan noticed that Ning Ze called himself "Mrs. Pei" instead of Princess Chongwen, and said that he deliberately vetoed the title of Princess Chongwen because of his position.

Pei Ji didn't think about it so much, but saw that Ning Ze's eyes were slightly complicated: "I have an injury and I can't pay a full salute, please forgive me!"

"It's okay! It's just that there is some emotion that the general is loyal to Nan Cheng, but he is treated like this. Ning Ze shook his head and sighed.

"It's because of my greed that I have the golden day!" Pei Ji said.

"In this way, it's still lonely to hurt the general!" Ning Ze was a little reluctant, "Please forgive the general." ”

"The prince is here, what do you have to say?" Pei Ji coughed and asked weakly, "You sent someone to rob me out, and there must be a plan." ”

"The general misunderstood!" Ning Ze shook his head, "Lone just heard that the general was framed because of King Yun's treasures, and as a result, he was imprisoned and tortured. Ma Jian even ignored the general's past merits and wanted to execute the general. Lone felt that he owed too much and didn't want to watch the general die unjustly. Therefore, he sent people to rescue, hoping that the general would avoid this catastrophe. ”

"Did the prince ever think that you sent someone to rescue me, but it made Your Majesty more determined and convicted me of collaborating with the enemy!" Pei Ji asked with a breath.

Ning Ze asked rhetorically: "Even if the general is not saved alone, the general will be able to escape death? When the time comes, he will die unjustly, and the charges will never be cleared! Or would the general rather be like this?"

Pei Ji was silent for a moment.

Indeed, he was unwilling to die like this with grievances in his mouth, leaving behind a lifetime of infamy. It's just that being rescued and convicted of the crime is not what he wants.

Probably seeing Pei Ji's inner struggle, Ning Ze said: "Don't worry, Lone just doesn't want to hurt the general because of himself! Saving the general this time will not force you to join Huaguo." By the way, the general's property in Jin County, there were Nancheng secret agents who tried to get close before, and I was afraid that Ma Jian wanted to take the treasure. Lone has sent people to strengthen protection and drive them all away. The general can take his wife to King County, and those treasures are not a lot. The General's people have arrived safely, and you can settle in the village or move elsewhere. In the territory of China, there is a lonely place, and no one can touch you, and no one has the idea of fighting those treasures. ”

"If I behead you, all the treasures will be yours!" asked Pei Ji.

Ning Ze smiled when he heard this: "Lonely and a daughter, never regret it." Since you promised the general, you will definitely do it!"

"A promise of a thousand gold, the prince is the most deceitful on the battlefield!" Ma Yuan hid behind her husband and interjected.

Ning Ze replied with a smile: "Mrs. Pei, Lone is indeed not trustworthy to the enemy, and he is not tired of cheating! But he treats his friends sincerely and never violates any agreement. Although General Pei and Gu were at hostility, Gu regarded him as a friend from the beginning of the Huajun competition. ”

"Thanks to the prince's love, I can't afford to be under it!" Pei Jixin said, compared to Ma Jian, Ning Ze is much broad-minded. It's more comfortable to get along with this kind of person, at least I haven't heard that Ning Ze suspects his subordinates, or lets his loyal subordinates suffer grievances.

"General Pei, is this looking down on Lone?" Ning Ze walked to the side of the bed, "No matter what, Lone still treats you as a friend." The general has been wronged, and Lone will treat your injuries!"

"Even if the prince treats me like this, I will not surrender to Huaguo!" Pei Ji pointed out to his face.

"That's the general's freedom, Gu won't interfere!" Ning Ze smiled and stretched out his hand to Pei Ji, using his medical skills on him, and looked at Ma Yuan at the same time, "By the way, Mrs. Pei! Chanpei is doing well in Huajun, Madame is interested in going over to accompany her for a few days, I believe she will be very happy!"
