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

Xie Lin sat quietly on the couch, with no expression on his face.

Luo Cheng thought that his words had frightened Xie Lin. Since they had already fallen out, the smile on his face became even more arrogant.

"Your Highness, the Northern Zhou is eyeing us covetously in the north; the King Cheng and his wife are spying in the south; the Western Rong have been coveting us for a long time in the west. If you drive me away again, you will have no one to use by your side.

"Your Highness is so smart that you should know how to choose at this time. Let Concubine Zhen go with me. I will take her to Qianzhou. We will guard Qianzhou for the rest of our lives and never come back.

“In Qianzhou, I will not let anyone know Concubine Zhen’s former identity, so as not to damage the royal reputation.

"You just give away one of your father's concubines, and you can get a loyal and brave general. Why not do it?"

Xie Lin still sat on the couch, not saying a word.

Luo Cheng said so much, and seeing that he had no response, he became a little angry. He said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, don't you know yet? The forces of the three princes of the Northern Zhou Dynasty have already invaded the Daqi Imperial City.

"If you kill me and Concubine Zhen today, no one will protect you. The three princes of Northern Zhou will rush in as if they were in an empty place. The country of Daqi will be destroyed in your hands, and you will become the eternal sinner of Daqi!"

At the end, Luo Cheng actually pointed at Xie Lin, just like he used to instruct his troops and question his subordinates on the battlefield.

Xie Lin sneered, "Ha."

Luo Cheng felt angry and curious after hearing this.

Weren’t the words he said frightening enough for Xie Lin?

A prince who has lost his princess consort, a prince who has lost his powerful assistant, a sickly prince, facing such a situation where he is surrounded by enemies on all sides, shouldn't he be frightened to the point of turning pale, distracted, and desperately trying to rely on him?

No matter how smart Xie Lin is, he is a sickly person, and it cannot be denied that he is alone and cannot make any progress.

Xie Lin asked, "So, General Luo is threatening me now? Using the Northern Zhou, the Western Rong, the Cheng Wang couple, and even the three princes of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who invaded the imperial city, you are threatening me to let Concubine Zhen leave the palace with you?"

Luo Cheng pursed his lips tightly and did not deny it. That was what he meant. It would be best if Xie Lin could understand it.

Xie Lin said, “As the crown prince, I cannot believe in the loyalty of a general who dares to threaten me like this.

"And speaking of which, even if I really believe General Luo tonight, and you take Concubine Zhen away from Shengjing City and head to Qianzhou, will you really believe that you will never question your threats tonight again in your lifetime after you gain a foothold in the Japanese Palace? Can you really rest easy?"

Luo Cheng was stunned. He had never thought of this angle before.

Suddenly, he sneered twice, "So, there is only one battle between me and Your Highness the Crown Prince! But Your Highness the Crown Prince, you know that behind me, there are 20,000 soldiers led by the three princes of the Northern Zhou Dynasty!

"Originally, I thought that if you let Concubine Zhen follow me, I would fight for you tonight. But now it seems that I can't do that. You will definitely die tonight!"

The expression on Xie Lin's face froze for a moment, and in Luo Cheng's eyes, he thought he was scared.

Xie Lin said: "General Luo should ask Concubine Zhen if she is willing to leave with you before he goes to war with me. Is she really willing to leave the family behind her, the palace where she has lived for more than ten years, and the son she has raised for nine years?"

Luo Cheng smiled confidently and said, "Your Highness, don't worry about this matter. Concubine Zhen and I love each other, and she will definitely leave with me."

Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the door, and then the door of Qianqiu Palace was knocked with a crackling sound, which showed how much strength the other party used.

Wangshan immediately walked over quickly, opened the door, said something to the person outside, and quickly returned to Xie Lin.

The autumn wind blew in from the open door late at night, making people feel a momentary chill.

"Your Highness, the situation is not good. The three thousand soldiers under the command of the three princes of the Northern Zhou Dynasty have rushed into the west gate of the imperial city. I don't know when they placed spies at the west gate, and they actually opened the city gate personally to welcome them. The situation is very critical." Wangshan said.

Xie Lin just felt that this statement seemed familiar.

He looked at Luo Cheng, who straightened his back and raised his chin, as if facing such a situation, only he could protect Da Qi and Xie Lin.

He said, "What I said is not just to threaten His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The Northern Zhou has been eyeing our Daqi for a long time. The Emperor is seriously ill, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is seriously ill. Of course, the three princes of the Northern Zhou Dynasty will take advantage of the opportunity to attack."

Xie Lin said, "I'll say the same thing as before. General Luo, please ask Concubine Zhen what she thinks."

Luo Cheng just thought he was ridiculous. He must have been very panicked. He didn't want Concubine Zhen to go with him, so he used Concubine Zhen's wishes as an excuse.

He and Concubine Zhen have been childhood sweethearts. Even though they have been married for more than ten years, they still have each other in their hearts. They have walked such a long way together, done so many things, and finally got to this point. How could Concubine Zhen reject him!

knock knock knock.

There was another knock on the door, much quieter and more orderly than before. Wang Shan looked over and said, "It's Concubine Zhen."

Luo Cheng immediately looked outside the door and saw that it was indeed Concubine Zhen who had come. She was wearing a pink and blue dress and looked just like she did when she was a girl. She was so beautiful that he could not take his eyes away.

Luo Cheng immediately stepped forward to greet her and held her hands, but found that her hands were very cold. Luo Cheng immediately held her hands to his mouth and blew on them, trying hard to warm her hands.

Concubine Zhen just looked at him steadily.

Luo Cheng said: "Three thousand soldiers of the Northern Zhou princes broke into the imperial city from the west gate. I have already told His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about our affairs. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince told me to listen to your opinion.

"Xiao Zhen'er, quickly tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that you are willing to come with me. We will go to Qianzhou to live together, grow old together, and never come back in this life."

Luo Cheng's voice was unspeakably gentle, and his weathered eyes were full of affection. He took Concubine Zhen's hand and came to Xie Lin.

The night was as thick as ink, the wind was strong outside, a fight seemed to have begun in the distance, and noisy sounds could be heard faintly.

Luo Cheng ignored the voice in the distance, the girl slumped on the ground, Wangshan who was guarding Xie Lin, and even Xie Lin. He just stared at Concubine Zhen, believing that she would definitely ask to go with him.

But after waiting for a long time, Concubine Zhen didn't speak, so Luo Cheng said softly: "What's wrong, are you feeling unwell? Then I will speak to the Crown Prince on your behalf, are you willing?"

Concubine Zhen suddenly grabbed his hand.

Luo Cheng felt warm all over when being stared at by such a pair of gentle eyes, but as time went on, he became more and more anxious. He moved his lips to urge her, but in the end no sound came out.

He was still looking into Concubine Zhen's eyes, paying attention to every expression on her face, but his heart was in turmoil. Amid the endless noisy sounds, he seemed to hear a subtle "puff" sound.

He suddenly lowered his eyes and saw a dagger stabbed into Concubine Zhen's heart. Concubine Zhen was holding the hilt of the dagger tightly, squeezing it until her knuckles turned white.

Her face turned pale instantly, her eyes were still looking at Luo Cheng, but her body had already fallen down limply.

Luo Cheng's brain was completely unable to think. He just grabbed her instinctively and sat down on the ground with her limp body.

I only heard her say in my ear: "Luo Cheng, I don't want to."
