After the wrong flirtation, I became the villain's favorite

"Why doesn't the general get married?" Feng Mian couldn't help but ask Captain Zhou who had always been following Xie Tan.

Although Captain Zhou had never heard the general say it, he could guess about 70% of it. It was nothing more than that he was unable to get the love of the person he admired in his youth, and it became a knot in his heart that he could not let go.

Feng Mian smiled after hearing this and said, "It's okay. When the general returns to the Central Plains and marries a new wife, everything will be fine."

"It's been four or five years. The general is almost twenty-six this year, and he still hasn't let it go."

Feng Mian glanced at the tent indifferently without saying anything.

No matter how strong the feelings are, they will fade with time. When you think about them many years later, you will realize that it might have been your wishful thinking.

Just as she once thought that she could not leave the North, her lover would stay for her, or at least come back to find her.

However, it does not.

Feng Mian wanted to laugh, but felt sad.

I hope the lover the general is thinking about will not let him down.

As he was speaking, Xie Tan came riding over on his horse, followed by a group of people, all ready to go.

"Quick! Get on your horses, Jinzhou has fallen!" Xie Tan shouted to Captain Zhou.

The Yu family was a royal family of the previous dynasty and had been entrenched in Jinzhou for a long time. When Dazhao was first established, they did not submit, and even claimed to be the emperor, hoping that the two countries would coexist. It was not until Emperor Gaozu of Dazhao came to power that the Yu family realized that there was no hope and finally submitted completely.

Unexpectedly, the previous submission to Dazhao was just an illusion. Now that the crown prince has been established and the people of the country are at peace, the Yu family can no longer sit still and they join forces with their former subordinates to start making trouble again.

The scout reported with a hoarse voice, obviously he had been running all the way back: "General, after the fall of Jinzhou City, two more cities have fallen!"

The two cities behind Jinzhou are Yucheng and Yecheng, and next to them is Zhongyuan!

After entering the Central Plains, the garrison is limited, so we are going to take Yunjing directly.

Xie Tan led his troops to the outskirts of Jinzhou City, and found that the situation was far more serious than he had imagined.

The air was filled with smoke and corpses were everywhere. The head of the garrison leader was hung outside the city.

"Yes... General Li!" the scout replied after taking a closer look.

General Li was the first general Xie Tan met after coming to the northern border. He was warm and simple. He was able to get close to Xiao Xuan entirely because of General Li's introduction.

Xie Tan was in great grief.

Among the soldiers in the army, there were soldiers led by General Li and those who had received his favor. I don't know who shouted first: "General! Kill them! Go ahead!"

Then there was a chorus of voices, shouting loudly: "Kill them! Kill them!"

Everyone is returning home, and their blood is boiling!

Xie Tan's eyes were as cold as ice.

Those who were kind to him always met with misfortune. When he was young, everyone avoided him because of this.

It was as if there was something invisible binding him, and he had been trying to break free over the years, but in vain.

At this moment, his heart was boiling. He wanted to get rid of all the confusion and fear!

But the enemy was able to capture three cities in such a short time and isolate the Northern Army from the Central Plains. It was obvious what they wanted.

Yu was not unprepared.

But he did not hesitate or be confused, he just knew that he had to rush forward.

The prosperity and peace of Yunjing must not be trampled upon by war.

Xie Tan looked sharply at the smoke-filled city and ordered, "Wait until night and attack with fire."

Fire attack!

It is the cruelest and most decisive fighting style between two soldiers, which means you will lose 800 of your own while hurting the enemy by 1,000.

They saw the general's absolute determination to take Golden State.

Within two days, Jinzhou City was captured, and it was discovered that there were indeed rebels in the city who were colluding with the rebels. The rebel leader was beheaded by Xie Tan, and the rest fled to Yucheng.

Behind Xie Tan followed the rumbling sound of the high-spirited Northern Army. The Northern Army pursued the rebels relentlessly. After capturing Yucheng, they were unable to capture Yecheng for a long time, as if they had a steady supply of reinforcements.

But the Yu family, together with all the remnants of the previous dynasty, only have more than 2,000 people. Even if they store land and train soldiers, they are just at a low level. How can they fight the Northern Border Army with real swords and guns? !

He was keenly aware that there was a hand stirring up the situation.

Before I had time to think about it, another piece of news came—

"Mrs. Xie has passed away."

"The Northern Territory Privet took advantage of the chaos to rebel and kidnap Saint Feng Mian. They are completely rebellious!"

The world is going to be in chaos.

*

Five days ago.

Song Nihuan lay in bed, unable to sleep.

Perhaps the method used to abort the child was too violent and her body was severely damaged. Sometimes when she squatted down and stood up again, blood would flow down her trouser legs.

This vague pain gave her a sense of self-abuse, and her guilt towards Lan Zhi and Xie Tan was reduced.

At least she didn't leave behind a child with Xie Yunji.

She knew it was her fault and that she had hurt an innocent life.

She suffered from the guilt towards her child, the regret for the past, and the love she had for Xie Yunji that had been abruptly cut off...all of this was like cutting flesh with a blunt knife, day and night, without stopping.

Sometimes the maid called her several times but there was no response.

Just as she expected, Xie Yunji no longer bothered her and did not come to see her for several days.

Because she was locked up in a separate courtyard and isolated from the outside world, Song Nihuan was completely unaware of what was happening outside.

I didn't know that Yunjing has reached an important moment of power change.

Some of the maids who were originally guarding her outside the door withdrew, and her world suddenly became very quiet.

Only the occasional sound of wind blowing in from the window and the singing of birds in the distance break the tranquility. I quietly look at the sky and the birds. The pain and self-blame in my heart can only be reduced by half when I am in a daze.

It was even quieter at night, and no sound could escape her ears.

Someone came in.

"Who is it?" she asked.

A voice answered: "Young Madam, are you still awake?"

The voice seemed familiar, Song Nihuan sat up and looked.

Sixth Prince Xiao Shen!

After a moment of silence, Xiao Shen asked, "Are you feeling better?"

"Yes. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness." She replied.

"Do you want to know what happened in the Song family case?" he said.

She finally looked him in the face and sat up straight, "What is the truth?"

Xiao Shen smiled slightly and recounted the whole story of the Song family's involvement in the Prince of Qi case in detail. He even brought out the files that had been sealed long ago by the Dali Temple.

Her hand carefully ran over the lines of words on the file, and her father's name was among them.

Forced by his colleagues to pay bribes, my father had no way out and had no choice but to go all the way.

After a long silence, Song Nihuan sighed and said, "Father is wrong. The Song family doesn't have to go along with the corrupt. Father can also resign and set himself right."

Xiao Shen clapped his hands, "As expected, Zi Che has deep feelings for you."

"Your Highness, please tell me frankly, what is the purpose of your visit?" she said coldly, with a fearless look that seemed to see through everything.

"I can take you away and leave Xie Yunji. I can also keep Pinga Fu Yu safe." Xiao Shen said.

"What does Your Highness want? What can I give Your Highness?" she said lightly.

She was no longer an innocent girl. She knew that Xiao Shen's visit tonight was not for no reason, nor was he here to visit her out of kindness, but... to announce her fate.

"What do you think? What can I gain from you?" Xiao Shen looked at her as if he had heard a huge joke. He said, "I will send you to someone. You just need to live well beside that person."

Wasn't she Xie Tan's former lover? The one who caused Xie Yunji to seduce her with great effort and almost caused a disaster.

The general of the Zhenjun Army is now at the peak of his power and is the most important part of his plan. It would be great if he could get him to stand on his side.

Xiao Shen looked up at her. There was no emotion on the woman's face. She didn't show any determination to avenge her family, nor did she show any sadness for having just lost her child. She seemed to have compromised with her already arranged fate.

Song Nihuan said: "Okay."

"Don't you ask who wants you?" Xiao Shen asked.

Song Nihuan still had no expression on her face, and said, "As long as I can get away from Xie Yunji, anything is fine."

She didn't want to fight him anymore. She and him were entangled and had become a couple of enemies. There was nothing but sadness and hatred for each other.

She was so tired, both physically and mentally, that she just wanted to leave him.

And except Xiao Shen, no one can take her away from Xie Yunji.

Xiao Shen's shoulders relaxed. This kind of thing had to be her own will. Otherwise, if he kidnapped her and she committed suicide, wouldn't she offend both sides?

He looked her over for a moment and said, "Okay. Can you walk on your own?"

"Yes." She said, and then thought for a moment, "Your Highness, you should know that as long as Pinga Fuyu lives, I will live."

Xiao Shen laughed. She obviously had nothing, was all alone and weak, yet she could still think of threatening him with herself! ?

"Okay." He said.

Song Nihuan got up to open the door, and the maid guarding outside the door fell to the ground.

I don't know when they all died quietly.

She looked back at him in shock.

Xiao Shen smiled indifferently, "They will die sooner or later."

"Oh, by the way, I knocked out your maid and threw her into the carriage. It would be better to have someone familiar to serve her." He said considerately.

Song Nihuan didn't understand what it meant that everyone would die sooner or later.

However, when she got on Xiao Shen's carriage and drove away from the alley, flames suddenly shot up into the sky behind the carriage and a loud noise broke out.

Xiao Shen's smile looked like a cold-blooded devil under the flickering flames.
