Don't be tempted, sir

Chapter 128 Promise

"Do you have any evidence from Liao?" The Liao soldier heard the accent of the capital.

"No...."

"That won't work."

Ah Wu gritted his teeth, took out the green ring and handed it to the Liao soldier: "General Shen knows this, please pass it on!"

The Liao soldier took it and looked at it carefully. There was a small word [晓] engraved on the inside of the silver ring. Awu instructed: "You must, must give it to General Shen!" Awu was very worried that the soldiers would find it, so he had to remind them again and again that this ring of the young lady was the last token given to him by the young master, and he must not lose it!

"Wait." The soldier said a few words to the person next to him, then turned and walked towards the city gate.

Ah Wu watched anxiously as the soldier disappeared through the city gate. He turned around and saw the Qiang army coming on horseback. He hurriedly pulled a few people behind him and said, "Hide!"

The Qiang army looked around and saw only refugees. The leader of the encirclement and suppression unit raised his sword and shouted, "Kill! Even if we kill a hundred by mistake, we must not let any one go!"

The Qiang soldiers followed orders and raised their spears to kill refugees one after another. The king couldn't help but feel chilled and unbearable watching. It was because he trusted the people around him too much. He listened to the emperor's request and used the Youming Pill to attack the Liao Kingdom. In the end, those ministers were bribed by the Qiang lord, and the people he brought with him at this moment were the ministers who had always dissuaded and protected him.

Watching his people fall one by one, the king trembled and walked forward, but Ah Wu stopped him: "Even if you die, you can't save them! Loulan will disappear completely, and by then! They will have no choice but to die and become slaves and prisoners."

"This king...I have spent half my life protecting Loulan. I wanted to conquer the rich land of Linzhou to benefit the people!"

"Your Majesty, it's useless to think about these things. This man is right, you can't die!" Several loyal ministers stood up and protected the King of Loulan behind them with Awu.

Suddenly, a rain of arrows shot down from the city wall, and Awu looked back...The Kash city gate opened and Shen Changjun led his troops out of the city gate.

"Come on, follow me!" Awu hurriedly pulled the King of Loulan and rushed to the city gate.

The guard brought the ring, and Shen Changjun took it with an unspoken joy in his heart! The prince received the letter from Chi Ling and slammed the table! He quickly ordered Shen Changjun to come to Kash to cooperate in rescuing the two.

The Qiang soldiers had never thought that the Liao Kingdom would come out to protect the city. They had no choice but to retreat due to lack of men and horses. The leader pointed a knife at Shen Changjun and said, "You, the Liao Kingdom, are hiding the King of Loulan. You have occupied three of his lands. Aren't you afraid that he will rebel?"

"Get out!" Shen Changjun didn't want to waste time talking to him, so he turned around and went back to Kash City.

Wu and his group of refugees were still outside the city gate. Wu saw Shen Changjun coming back and waved: "General Shen!!! I am Wu!!"

The guards cleared the way, and Shen Changjun stepped forward: "Okay, okay! Let's go into the city quickly!"

The King of Loulan looked at the people outside the city and could do nothing but follow them in to seek the protection of the Liao Kingdom. After entering the city, the King of Loulan stepped forward and said, "This matter... I attacked your Liao Kingdom, and now you have occupied three of my lands... Now I am hiding here and there, watching the people of Loulan being displaced. I don't know what the Liao Kingdom means, but I beg the general Liao Kingdom to help my Loulan!"

The King of Loulan wanted to kneel down, but Shen Changjun pulled him up: "We are discussing this matter, let's go..."

It was inconvenient for the Liao soldiers to enter Loulan at this time, and it was difficult to attack Tongzhou. The King of Loulan still had his old subordinates hiding in various states, so the Liao soldiers had to take this opportunity to enter Loulan, disrupt the Qiang Kingdom and start a war in the east and west at the same time, and rescue the two.

Shen Rushan and Song Jueming, both civil and military officials, knelt down to beg His Majesty, and the Crown Prince also pleaded. Although Emperor Yan was a little annoyed and felt like he was being sidelined, he always regarded Song Xiaoyuan as his own son, so Emperor Yan had no objection to handing over full power to the Crown Prince.

Shen Yining woke up after many days. She was alone in the palace. She got up from the bed and drank some water because she was thirsty. The lady outside the palace heard the noise and opened the door to come in. When she saw that she was awake, she closed the door and left. She was a princess in name but a prisoner under guard. Shen Yining felt better after drinking the water. When she saw the door was about to close, she asked, "Can't I go out?"

The lady stopped closing the door and said, "My lord, didn't you say you can't go out?"

"Then leave the door open."

The lady opened the door and stood outside without coming in to serve. Shen Yining was still a little dizzy after sleeping for many days. She walked to the door, held it open and asked, "How many days have I slept?"

The lady said impatiently: "Four days."

Seeing that she didn't like him, Shen Yining couldn't help but ask, "Are you afraid that I will hurt you?"

That day, the maid was clearly just following the orders of her master, but she didn't like the princess and acted a little bit forcefully, which resulted in the princess vomiting blood and getting angry. In the end, the maid was punished to wash the toilet. Now, she just felt that the princess was hypocritical and vomiting blood, which harmed her sisters, so she naturally disliked the princess. Anyway, the master didn't care much and hadn't seen her for a few days. The maid turned around and saluted unhappily: "Princess, your words are too serious. My life is allocated by the master, and I am not afraid of you."

"Whatever you want." After saying that, Shen Yining walked out of the hall. His steps were still unsteady and he walked to the door of Alianyi Hall, holding his chest and gasping for breath. He was so tired. This poison was really torturous. It was still the same even after taking the antidote. He didn't know what would happen to Xiao Yuan without taking the antidote.

Shen Yining was so tired that her chest hurt when she breathed. She stood at the door and waited for Xiaoshi to report. When Alianyi came in, he lowered his head to review the memorial. Shen Yining bowed and said, "Princess Ning'an pays respect to the Lord."

"Now you know a lot about Qiang etiquette, Yining." Alianyi raised his eyes and looked at Shen Yining, who was standing in front of him with a haggard face and casually wearing a coat. He couldn't help but frowned: "You just woke up and couldn't wait to come to me... to get the antidote?"

"Yes."

Alianyi put down his pen and stood up. He walked around her and said coldly, "After getting the antidote, what should I do? Do you want to know where he is? Or are you going to meet him like this?"

Shen Yining was thin and haggard at the moment, clenching his hands in his sleeves. He really didn't know where Xiao Yuan was, biting his lip and hesitating: "At least get the antidote first!"

"I can give you the antidote, but do you remember what Yining said?" A Lianyi did not allow Shen Yining to be rejected and took her into his arms, keeping her within his control.

The sinister voice in Shen Yining's ears made her shudder: "Remember, I am willing to do anything."

"Then you should be willing to marry me and be my wife! Forget about Song Xiaoyuan."

Shen Yining was stunned and struggled to get out of his arms, but she was too weak to break free.

"You don't want the antidote?"

When Shen Yining heard about the antidote, she stopped struggling and let him hold her. Between the antidote and Xiao Yuan, she... was confused.

Alianyi let go, hooked his hand and lifted Shen Yining's chin to let her look at him: "Yining, didn't you say you were willing to do anything? Or are you reluctant to leave him?"

"I...."

Alianyi let her go and turned back to the imperial desk: "If you don't want to, forget it. You have to marry me anyway. He can't take you away. Now he is just a useless person."

"I promise you! I promise you..."

A Lianyi turned around and said: "Forget Song Xiaoyuan, you only belong to me!"

"Okay, I promise you." Shen Yining's eyes were empty. She felt sorry for him anyway.

"Come here, help the princess back and take good care of her. The journey may be bumpy and the princess may be weak."

Shen Yining was supported by someone and looked up at Alianyi: "On the way? Where are you going?"

"Of course I'll take you to see him and tell him in person. You, Shen Yining, don't like him!"
