Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

Seeing that her words worked, Jiang Xue struck while the iron was hot: "From the moment the negotiation invitation was issued, the negotiation situation has been finalized. In this case, the negotiation agreement should naturally take effect.

It is impossible that the prince of Xichen is not aware of the taboos of the negotiation agreement. Once the negotiations begin, the envoys will be killed and those who violate the agreement will be subject to joint sanctions from all countries.

You clearly know the rules but you are still stirring up trouble here. Do you want to bring disaster to Beixi? If so, Fourth Prince, you better be careful.

If you are not careful, something bad will happen and the responsibility will fall on you. Think about how the Emperor and the Crown Prince of Beixi will handle it."

"Everyone, step back."

These words touched the most sensitive nerve in Shangguan Xi's heart. Before Jun Li could refute, he roared on the spot and ordered all the soldiers surrounding Xiao Zhan to retreat.

When the Xichen soldiers saw that their leader did not give any orders, they did not obey Shangguan Xi's orders.

This made Shangguan Xi even more annoyed.

This is really outrageous. Is Jun Li going to challenge my authority on Beixi's territory?

In a rage, Shangguan Xi immediately ordered the Xichen soldiers who disobeyed orders to be executed on the spot.

Blood splattered everywhere, and the bodies of two Xichen soldiers fell to the ground. The other soldiers then restrained their actions and retreated obediently.

Jun Li looked at the bodies of the two soldiers and was so angry that smoke came out of his head. He glared at Shangguan Xi fiercely like a tiger about to pounce.

How could Shangguan Xi be afraid of him? She glared back and said, "This is Beixi's land. If you overstep your authority in front of me again, don't blame me for being rude."

If a proton who betrayed the agreement between various countries was really killed, I guess no one would dare to say anything.

Jun Li finally understood the severity of the reality and knew that his situation was more dangerous than he had imagined.

If Shangguan Xi hadn't needed Xichen's support, he would probably have been beheaded by now.

He retracted his gaze and looked coldly at Jiang Xue, who was inciting Shangguan Xi to get angry with him with her words.

Burning with anger, he turned the bow in his hand towards Jiang Xue and shot an arrow out.

"Be careful." Xiao Zhan and Si Ruochen exclaimed at the same time.

The tip of the arrow pierced through the flesh, and blood splattered in the air.

"Your Highness."

Xiao Zhan grabbed the arrow with his bare hands, and blood immediately gushed out of his hands.

Jiang Xue looked at his injured palm, and a trace of heartache flashed in her eyes.

Fortunately, he controlled the strength just right, and the arrow only cut the skin and flesh, and the tendons and veins should not be damaged.

If he had used a little more force, his hand might have been broken.

"You're going to resort to violence if you can't even talk it out? Jun Li, your demeanor has dropped a lot."

She threw the arrow back with her backhand, and the arrow grazed Jun Li's face and nailed to the pillar behind him.

Xiao Zhan's eyes became gloomy. For some reason, when he saw Si Ruoxin in danger, his heart suddenly tightened.

Perhaps it was because of the conversation last night that made him feel more sympathetic towards her, he explained to himself.

"My hand just slipped. Please forgive me if I frightened the girl."

Jun Li was somewhat dissatisfied that he had not hurt the provocative little bitch. Seeing Xiao Zhan injured in order to protect her, a strange smile appeared on his face:

"Look at how His Royal Highness Prince Gong is taking care of this woman. Could she be your new love? Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's only been a few months and His Royal Highness Prince Gong has forgotten Princess Gong so quickly. If Xiaoxue were here, how sad she would be."

Jun Li's ridicule made Tie Yi unable to help but roar in retort: ​​"Shut up! That woman is not worthy of our Highness's remembrance at all."

On the city wall, he could not forget the scene where Jiang Xue stabbed Xiao Zhan with a knife. He could not forgive that woman for hurting His Highness like this.

Tieyi's words made Jiang Xue feel heavy-hearted. She looked at Xiao Zhan with gloomy eyes, but found that there was no change in his expression.

But she could still clearly feel that the aura emanating from him had become colder.

That knife finally hurt him.

"Today, I am here for the war between the two countries and the Marquis of Zhenbei. Prince Xichen, if you involve other irrelevant people and things and delay the negotiation process, don't blame me for being rude."

Xiao Zhan said in a cold voice, turning his gaze to Shangguan Xi: "Fourth Prince, my request is very simple, release the Marquis of Zhenbei, and let our two countries sit down and have a good talk, a truce and reconciliation.

The border war has been going on for more than half a year. The people of both countries have suffered greatly from the war. If it continues like this, it will not be of any benefit to either us in Beiling or you in Beixi.

I believe you understand that when two birds quarrel, the fisherman benefits. If we continue to hurt each other like this, who will benefit in the end? "

Shangguan Xi is not stupid, he certainly understands the logic behind what Xiao Zhan said.

Jiang Xue's provocation just now made him wary of Jun Li, and now Xiao Zhan's words sounded the alarm in his heart.

That’s right, the interests involved in this war are mainly Beiling and Beixi. No matter who wins or loses, both countries will suffer heavy losses.

Xichen said he was coming to support, but why didn't he do it when the war just started, but waited until half a year had passed before coming to help? In the final analysis, they were weighing the pros and cons and looking for the best time to reap the benefits.

However, if Xiao Zhan really released the Marquis of Zhenbei, who had made such a great contribution in capturing Beiling's chief general, what would happen to his record? On what basis would he ask his father for a reward? And on what basis would he fight for the position of the Eastern Palace?

After struggling for a while, Shangguan Xi finally spoke: "Your Highness Prince Gong's words make sense. For the sake of the people's lives, this war should not be continued. If the border is unstable, people will definitely feel panic. Of course, peace talks must be carried out, but I am sorry that I cannot agree to release the Marquis of Zhenbei."

Jiang Xue understood why Shangguan Xi was so obsessed with his uncle. Like the deceased Xiao Li, Shangguan Xi had been fighting for power all his life. He had an almost crazy desire for the supreme throne. He wanted to use his uncle to seek fame and fortune, and he would never let him go easily.

"Zhenbei Hou is an important minister of our Beiling. The Fourth Prince has no reason to detain him. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do so." Xiao Zhan narrowed his eyes and said with a threatening tone: "I wonder if the Fourth Prince still remembers the Xiu family of Liang Kingdom?"

Xiao Zhan suddenly changed the subject, leaving everyone present confused. Why did he suddenly mention a country that had already perished during the negotiation?

Just when everyone was confused, only Shangguan Xi's expression became extremely strange after hearing the words "Xiu family".

Jiang Xue was also very curious, who were these Xiu family members that could make Shangguan Xi's face change so drastically?

For a moment, Shangguan Xi's eyes were dazed, and the scenes of humiliation and persecution of the Xiu family in the past reappeared before his eyes.

The screams of women, the roars of men, and the crying of children were heard everywhere.

"Back then, the Xiu clan of Liang produced many talented women, all of whom were both talented and beautiful, and their reputations spread all over the world. It is said that the emperor of Beixi had a special liking for one of the Xiu women, and loved her more than anyone else. He even swore for her that he would never wage war against Liang for the rest of his life."
