After the prince was reborn, he forced me to marry him and took me into the East Palace

Gu Jingheng raised his hand, tucked a strand of Nan Yuan's hair behind her ear, held her cheek and kissed the corner of her lips, and whispered: "Then you must remember what you said today, I will take it seriously."

Nan Yuan nodded vigorously: "As long as you survive, I, Nan Yuan, will keep my word."

After receiving Gu Jingheng's affirmative answer, the strength supporting Nan Yuan was instantly drained away.

She felt her head was fuzzy, she couldn't see clearly, and her hands had no strength left. The only thing that was still clear was the desire for both of them to survive.

It’s great that you do what you say.

This was what Nan Yuan said herself, he didn't force her.

Gu Jingheng curled the corners of his lips slightly, he leaned on Nan Yuan's shoulder, his nose touched Nan Yuan's neck, and suddenly he found that Nan Yuan's body was also hot.

“Nan Yuan?” Gu Jingheng raised his eyes and looked at Nan Yuan. Nan Yuan’s face flushed and she murmured to herself, “I like you…keep living…”

Her body temperature was even higher than his.

Gu Jingheng reached out and touched Nan Yuan's forehead, which was burning hot.

It must be because of the bloodletting he just had. Not only does he have a high fever, but he is also unconscious.

Gu Jingheng secretly felt that he had gone too far this time.

He held Nan Yuan in his arms and whistled towards the outside of the cave.

After a while, a bird flew in and landed on Gu Jingheng's shoulder.

Gu Jingheng said a few words to the bird, as if he had a deep understanding with the bird.

As he finished speaking, the bird seemed to understand what he meant. It flapped its wings and flew high, disappearing into the depths of the cave.

-

Night fell over the valley.

The soldiers outside surrounded the valley layer by layer. The surroundings were unusually quiet, with only the sounds of patrolling footsteps and the crackling of burning campfires.

As usual, a team of patrolling soldiers were patrolling back and forth in various places in the valley, moving constantly with tinder in their hands.

Suddenly, a soldier stopped and looked towards the bushes, as if he found something unusual there.

"who……"

He held up the torch and tried to light up that area, but before he could finish his words, he was knocked unconscious by a figure falling from the tree and completely lost consciousness.

In just a moment, the figure put on his clothes and caught up with the team.

"Deputy General Wang, it's time to change shifts."

After patrolling twice, this team began to feel sleepy and handed over the patrol mission to another team.

Nan Jiamu just lowered his head and followed the team silently. When the team disbanded, he naturally walked to the outside of the encirclement.

……

Inside the account.

"Young Master, if we just stay here like this, won't we run into trouble?" A bearded man said to Li Youning.

Li Youning only stared at the blood-red wine in his glass and said, "What could go wrong?"

"Uncle Qian, I think you are too cautious. We are only dealing with a young master who has been in the capital for a long time and has no special abilities. We are not dealing with those cunning barbarians in the frontier. Don't worry."

Li Youning felt secretly proud when he thought about how he had led his troops to defeat Shen Zhaixing and his group during the day and left them without any chance of fighting back.

He is just a fool, how can he compare to his hard work over the years.

"But Nan Jiamu is also inside." The bearded man was still a little worried.

He was not worried about the pampered young master, but he did not dare to underestimate Nan Jiamu, because that was someone who had fought with them on the battlefield.

In just five years, Nan Jiamu became a deputy general by virtue of his daring and fighting spirit. His prestige in the Xuanjia Army was even comparable to that of General Li, and he was poised to make a rapid rise.

The battle just now was really strange. Even though they separated Nan Jiamu and his group of brothers and Nan Jiamu was fighting alone, he should not have been forced back to the valley so easily!

I always feel like there's something fishy going on here.

"Nan Jiamu."

Li Youning's eyes sparkled with excitement. He took a sip of wine and said, "It's because I know he's hard to deal with that I just surrounded him but didn't attack him."

He had seen Nan Jiamu's fighting style on the battlefield, and it was a completely life-threatening style of fighting.

If he ordered his men to attack now, even if he could kill Nan Jiamu, it would still cost him a heavy price.

These veterans recruited by his uncle were not very obedient to him. If he suffered more casualties, it would be even more difficult for him to take over the Black Armor Army.

"In three days, they will run out of ammunition and food and kill each other. That will be a good time for us to attack." Li Youning sneered.

He was just waiting to see Nan Jiamu die under his sword and avenge his previous humiliation.

Obviously, he was the next leader of the Black Armor Army, but he was intercepted by a young boy halfway. How could he tolerate this?

Nan Jiamu must die!

No one wanted Nan Jiamu to die more than him.

"Master, I am still worried that it will be disadvantageous to us if we continue to delay like this.

Although the current siege will result in some losses of manpower, as long as the roots can be eradicated, it will be worth it no matter what the cost.

Besides, the young master of the Shen family is the prime minister’s only son, so he may have ways to save his life.

Now that we have fallen out with Shen Zhaixing, we absolutely cannot let him go back alive, otherwise there will be endless troubles!"

After listening to Li Youning's analysis, the bearded man felt that it made some sense, but he has always been cautious. He would not easily determine the outcome of the battle until the end.

Li Youning looked at the bearded man, his eyes darkened and he didn't say anything for a long time.

After a moment of silence, he finally changed his mind and said, "Okay, Uncle Qian, I'll listen to you.

Give the order to siege the valley in an hour!"

"Yes."

The bearded man nodded and walked out.

Silence returned to the tent, with only Li Youning left. He picked up the wine jug, tilted his head back and took a few big gulps.

The spicy liquid slid down his throat, making him feel his stomach churning and he couldn't help but frown.

"Cough cough cough."

He coughed several times in a row.

The cough affected his severed left arm, causing him to feel an immediate pain and causing beads of sweat to ooze out of his forehead.

Li Youning looked at his broken left arm, and the hatred in his heart grew stronger.

Nan Jiamu, Shen Zhaixing, it was all because of them that he became what he is now, and he would also let them taste the feeling of a life worse than death.

As the night deepened, the soldiers outside the tent had already gathered.

"Kill!" Li Youning ordered.

The soldiers responded and launched a general attack on the valley.

The sound of fighting filled the air, time passed slowly, and the sky in the distance seemed to be stained with a layer of blood.

-

In the grass behind the military camp.

"Deputy General Nan, should we go to support them?" asked a middle-aged man with a long scar on the left side of his cheek.

Nan Jiamu shook his head and said, "Wait a little longer."

Scarface looked towards the battlefield. The Black Armor Army led by Li Youning was crushing the enemy with unstoppable momentum. Although Shen Zhaixing had the advantage of terrain, according to Li Youning's current fighting style, Shen Zhaixing would definitely not last more than an hour.

Scarface frowned. Nan Jiamu knew clearly that if this continued, Shen Zhaixing's army would be completely wiped out.

But he didn't make any move and just kept watching. This made Scarface very confused and he didn't know what he was planning.

But since the military command is in Nan Jiamu's hands, they have to obey Nan Jiamu, regardless of right or wrong.

the other side.

Shen Zhaixing, who was forced back into the cave by Li Youning, was furious. When had he ever suffered such a loss?

"Shen Zhaixing, stop wasting your energy and come out to die!"

"Kowtow to me three times, and maybe I'll be so happy that I can give you a quick death." Li Youning shouted into the cave while riding on a tall horse.

"Who do you think you are? You want me to kowtow to you. If you have the guts, get off your horse and fight me. I promise to beat you so hard that even your grandfather won't recognize you!"

Shen Zhaixing listened to Li Youning's yelling outside and was about to rush out, but was held back tightly by Xie Luochen.

"Sir Shen, he is just trying to provoke you, you must not fall for his trick!

Nan Jiamu has gone out to get help. We just need to hold out here now. The longer we can delay, the better!"

Xie Luochen advised earnestly.

Shen Zhaixing glared at the outside of the cave with gnashing teeth, "Am I just going to sit there and wait to die? I can't do that. I want to fight my way out, and even if I die, I'll take someone with me!"

Shen Zhaixing didn’t know when Nan Jiamu would come back. He only knew that the people he brought with him died one by one in front of him. How could he bear this?

"Master Shen, please listen to me, it is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death!" Xie Luochen was persuading Shen Zhaixing.

But Li Youning outside lost his patience. He ordered his men to quietly put on the bow and arrow.
