The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

The guards closest to Chu Heyi and Xie Lin handed over their swords one after another, and Chu Heyi and Xie Lin each took a sword in their hands.

It seemed that in an instant, the surroundings became completely quiet, and everyone looked at them with bated breath.

Even the prince, who knew the truth, was watching from a carriage in the distance and was not prepared to step forward to help or defend them.

Why should we defend them and save them?

He had no intention of sparing their lives. They were of no use to him, and keeping them alive would only increase the risk.

Now Dongfang Shuo wanted to force them to death, and he just had to watch from a distance.

It's just a pity that two such outstanding talents will die in vain today...

“Xie Lin!” Princess Pingyang stared at Xie Lin’s face. “You would rather die with her than be my consort? Are you…are you willing?”

Xie Lin also looked back into her eyes: "Your Highness, I am unwilling to accept this. But things have come to this point, and I can't do anything about it. I just have two things in my heart that I want to tell Your Highness. I wonder if Your Highness, Princess, can you come closer."

Princess Pingyang was angry and hurt, but she couldn't help but get closer to him. However, she didn't expect that Xie Lin suddenly grabbed her wrist, pulled her onto his horse's back, and held her tightly.

Before Princess Pingyang could react, the sword in Xie Lin's hand was across her neck.

There was a commotion around, and people exclaimed in surprise, but then suddenly fell silent, staring at the scene in a daze and nervously.

"Xie Lin, what are you doing? How dare you hold me hostage? I am a princess, do you want to live?" Princess Pingyang was furious.

Xie Lin said coldly, "Isn't Your Highness the Princess willing to threaten the Emperor with her own life for me? I just brought this matter forward."

Princess Pingyang was extremely angry, especially when she felt the cold sword blade against her neck. It was a terrible feeling.

"It's one thing for me to threaten my father, but it's another for you to hold me hostage."

Xie Lin said: "But Your Highness Princess cannot change the fact that you are being held hostage by me now. Coincidentally, I don't like being held hostage by others."

He added: "Princess, please do not struggle, otherwise the sword will cut your neck and leave scars, and I will be helpless."

He was like the sword in his hand, with no mercy for Princess Pingyang. Although Princess Pingyang was angry, she did not dare to struggle anymore.

Chu Heyi threw away the sword in his hand, making a clanging sound.

At this moment, no one dared to move.

Only Xie Lin held Princess Pingyang hostage, looking at Dongfang Shuo on the tower: "Your Highness, Prince Cheng, if you release the two girls from the Chu family and show us the evidence that Concubine Zheng was killed by us, we will be willing to die.

"If the two girls of the Chu family meet with an accident because of you, Princess Pingyang will also die because of you. Although Princess Pingyang is not your sister from the same mother, if you do not save them, the Emperor and the Empress will not let you go."

Dongfang Shuo's eyes were filled with anger: "You killed my mother, you deserve to be cut into pieces! Letting you commit suicide on the spot is already a gift from the king to you! Now not only do you not want to die, you also hold the princess hostage. You want the Chu and Xie clans to be buried with you, go ahead and kill me!"

While listening to his words, Chu Heyi looked down at the city wall. Her hand slowly reached for the quiver behind her and she pulled out an arrow from it without leaving any trace.

Now everyone's attention is on Princess Pingyang, Xie Lin, Dongfang Shuo and the two girls from the Chu family. She has been temporarily ignored.

The moment she saw the figure swaying under the city wall, she put the arrow on the bow, pulled the bowstring to the extreme, and the arrow flew out into the air!

Whoosh-!

Dongfang Shuo saw the arrow quickly enlarged in his sight, took a breath, dodged the arrow, and completely loosened his hands.

puff!

The arrow pierced his arm and the pain made his whole body numb. He took several steps back and covered his arm.

The guards behind and on both sides immediately rushed up to protect him. After standing still, Dongfang Shuo rushed forward and looked down at the city wall.

Just now, when he loosened his grip, the two girls from the Chu family escaped from his grasp and fell towards the city wall...

"what……!!"

Cries of surprise rang out one after another. The people were terrified when they saw the two girls fall, but their eyes could not help but keep staring at them.

At the critical moment, two people rode over on horseback.

They swung the big iron hook with all their strength, and the iron hook drilled into the city wall. The two men grabbed the rope in their hands at the same time, jumped on the horse's back, and went up along the rope. They each caught the falling Chu You and Chu Xin in mid-air, and then slid down along the rope.

When Dongfang Shuo rushed to the edge of the tower and looked down, he happened to see this scene! He ignored the pain in his arm and punched the wall hard, causing him to feel numb all over again.

Chu Heyi was still riding on horseback, holding a bow in his hand.

Xie Lin still held Princess Pingyang hostage and rode on horseback side by side with Chu Heyi.

The two of them were still surrounded by guards. It was not them who rescued the people, but the Second Lady of Zhenbei Marquis Mansion and Song Ju.

The Second Madam, Song Ju, Chu You and Chu Xin were innocent to begin with, especially Chu You and Chu Xin, who were truly innocent. Now that they were rescued in this way, Dongfang Shuo had no reason to arrest them again.

But he was so angry that he ordered on the spot with red eyes: "Father has ordered that if Chu Heyi and Xie Lin dare to resist and do not die obediently, they will be killed without mercy!"

The guards came to their senses and quickly raised their swords to kill them. Xie Lin immediately said, "The princess is in my hands. Who dares to make a move?"

The guards were indeed afraid to move forward. No one was willing to take the blame for killing the princess.

Chu Heyi pulled the reins and kept his horse close to Xie Lin's horse.

The situation completely reversed. They had hostages, but Dongfang Shuo had completely lost them. Moreover, without the emperor's order, he could no longer use the excuse of going crazy to capture people from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

Dongfang Shuo pulled out the arrow from his arm, took the sword in his hand, came down from the city wall, rode his horse, and came to Xie Lin and Chu Heyi.

"Xie Lin, I advise you to release the princess, otherwise your Xie family and the Chu family will be exterminated!"

Xie Lin said coldly, "Your Highness, Prince Cheng, Concubine Zheng was not killed by Miss Heyi and I! I held Your Highness the Princess hostage just to give us a chance to clear our grievances. If the Emperor knew about this, he would definitely forgive me for what I did today."

Dongfang Shuo laughed loudly. "Under the interrogation of Lord Wen, people around my mother said that they saw you and Chu Heyi at Wanfu Temple! Even your sister, Concubine Xie, repeatedly testified that it was you who killed my mother! Look at the people around you, which one of them was not arrested and hunted down by my father's order!"

Yes, there were thousands of guards surrounding Xie Lin and Chu Heyi. The swords in their hands flashed coldly, and murderous intent burst out of their eyes, all of which demonstrated the emperor's thundering wrath.

But at this moment, Yao An's voice came -

"The Emperor has arrived, the Queen has arrived."

Dongfang Shuo's chest was burning with fire. He narrowed his eyes and said, "You are dead!"
