The Hu people pushed the captured people to the city gate.

The city gate had already been guarded by soldiers. The soldiers standing on the city wall asked loudly, "Who is down there?"

The leader of the Hu people did not reveal his identity immediately: "We have something to do and need to leave the city. Please open the city gate."

"The Hu people broke into the capital, and the prince ordered us to guard the city gate and not let anyone in or out. You go back first and leave the city after daybreak."

The Hu leader's heart couldn't stop beating wildly. If he continued to stay in the capital, he would soon be caught by the Duke and Prince Ning.

They have to leave the city immediately. Only in this way can they have a chance to survive.

The leader of the Hu people took out a bag of silver from his pocket and threw it to the soldiers on the wall: "There is an emergency at home, please be flexible."

In normal times, the soldiers would have let them go, but now was a special period. If he dared to let them go, the prince would chop off his head. "It's not that we are unaccommodating, but we really can't let you out of the city. Come to the city gate tomorrow morning and we will definitely let you out."

The leader of the Hu people stopped pretending and raised the big knife in his hand: "If you don't open the city gate, I will chop off the heads of these people."

The scene suddenly changed, catching the soldiers off guard: "Who are you?"

"We are the Hu people you want to capture. Hurry up and open the city gate and let us out, otherwise we will kill these people."

The soldiers were frightened and stood there at a loss as to what to do. Until they saw the Hu leader pointing his knife at the people, they instantly came to their senses.

A small group of people went to look for the Prince of the County and Prince Ning, while the rest stayed at the city gate and talked to the Hu people: "Don't get too excited, our gate is locked, and we don't have the key. When the Prince of the County and Prince Ning come, they will let you out."

The leader of the Hu people obviously didn't believe this and said, "Don't try to delay time here. Open the city gate immediately."

The soldiers must have the key on them. They did this to delay time and allow the Prince of Jun and Prince Ning to arrive.

He began to perfunctorily answer the Hu people: "We really don't have the key. If you don't believe me, go and look at the lock on the city gate. Not only is there a double lock, but there is also an extra large lock on top."

The Hu people immediately went forward to check and told the leader that the situation was actually good: "What the soldier said is true."

The leader of the Hu people put away the big knife in his hand and said: "Let the prince and Prince Ning come quickly."

The soldier heaved a sigh of relief, finally calming the group of barbarians: "They will be here soon, don't worry too much."

Just as he finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance.

The Duke and Prince Ning rode over on horseback. Seeing the Hu people on horseback, the Duke was furious: "How dare you break into the capital and rob us."

The Hu people were not afraid at all: "There are so many shops and food in the capital. We can live for a long time if we rob once." They shook the jewels they had stolen in front of the Prince of Jun and Prince Ning.

This made the two men very angry. Seeing the people they had detained, they did not dare to act rashly: "Release the people now."

"We are not that stupid. You open the city gate first and we will release the people."

The Prince of Jun and Prince Ning wanted to raise their swords and chop down these barbarians one by one, but they were hindered by the fact that they took the civilians as hostages.

They had to be restrained by the Hu people and ordered the soldiers beside them to open the city gate.

He Shulan, who was in the crowd, saw the prince on his horse, but did not dare to say hello. She walked forward stealthily, trying to attract the prince's attention.

The barbarian next to him put a knife to his neck and said, "If you dare to take another step forward, I will chop off your head."

He Shulan was so frightened that she dared not move.

The Hu people pushed the people to the city gate, released the people in front, and continued to detain the young and beautiful women: "You can take these people away."

The Prince of the County and Prince Ning were furious: "We agreed that if I opened the city gates, you would release the detained civilians. Now you are not keeping your word."

"We did say we would release people, but we didn't say how many people or who they would release."

Prince Ning could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and swung the sword at the Hu leader.

The leader of the Hu people did not fight back, but put the big knife in his hand on the neck of the people nearby: "If you dare to come over, I will chop off their heads."

This person was none other than He Shulan.

Prince Ning and the Duke of Jun recognized them and frightened them so much that Prince Ning dared not act rashly again.

The prince's heart beat faster with nervousness. Why did He Shulan, who was supposed to be hiding in the restaurant, fall into the hands of the Hu people?

He was about to speak when he saw He Shulan shaking her head at him.

The words came to his mouth but he swallowed them down.

Prince Ning turned his head, looked at the Prince, and asked in a low voice: "What should we do next?"

The prince was at a loss at this time and could only negotiate with the Hu people: "What do you want in exchange for releasing the remaining people?"

"We specifically arrested these people. They are all young and beautiful. We will not let them go."

Although the words were not made very clear, the soldiers and the prince present heard it clearly.

The Hu people are a nomadic people. They have no fixed residence. Wherever they go, that’s their home. Most of the brides in the tribe were abducted.

Prince Ning pointed his knife at the leader of the Hu people without any hesitation and said, "I tell you, this is Beijing, and it is a long way from the border. Even if I let you go now, you have no way to take these hostages to the border safely."

"You don't have to worry about these things. We won't let these people go anyway, so just give up on this idea."

The younger girl cried out in fear. For the sake of her own reputation, she had no choice but to fight: "Prince Ning, please do it. If we are captured, even if we are rescued, we will live a life where others point fingers at us. It is better to die than to live like this."

Things are getting out of control.

After careful consideration, He Shulan revealed her identity: "Release these girls, and I will be your hostage."

The Hu leader said with disdain: "You are not qualified to negotiate with us."

"I am not qualified, but I wonder if the Princess of a County is qualified."

The Hu people present were stunned. They didn't expect that the Princess of the County would fall into their hands.

But words are not enough, what if the woman in front of them lied to them: "How do we know if you are the princess of the county?"

He Shulan pulled out a jade pendant from her sleeve, a jade pendant that symbolized the identity of a princess of a county: "Open your dog eyes and see clearly, I am the princess of a county."

The leader of the Hu people was very excited. They really captured the princess. She alone was able to defeat dozens of people present. He immediately released the rest of the people.

The other Lakers were unhappy: "These women are young and beautiful, just right to take them back and make them wives for the brothers."
