Ling Yue and Xiao Xi ran and ran until early in the morning. They were exhausted before they stopped. First, they had no physical strength anymore. Second, there was no road ahead of them. In front of them was
There was an abyss filled with mist. They had reached the highest point of the mountain. Anyone who fell in would definitely die.
Lingyue and Xiaoxi were sitting on the edge of the abyss. They couldn't run anymore, so they might as well sit and rest for a while.
"Miss, what should we do? There is no road ahead, and officers and soldiers will be coming up soon."
Ling Yue wiped the sweat from her face and looked at the abyss ahead, feeling a little scared. Such a high abyss, with no end in sight, would scare any living thing.
"I don't know...it seems like this is the end of our escape."
After a while, the footsteps got closer and closer. Due to the rugged mountain road, the officers and soldiers dismounted to search. At this time, they were approaching.
Lingyue and Xiaoxi saw the officers and soldiers in full armor holding weapons and walking toward them step by step. They stopped five meters away from them.
The officers and soldiers retreated, and Su Dingfang walked out from behind. Suddenly, a cold feeling enveloped him.
"Princess, you have no way to escape, so you should follow the general back to the palace."
Huh? Why did he still call her princess? Could it be that he didn't know that he was an imposter?
"I won't go back to the palace with you, don't even think about it." Ling Yue vowed to fight to the end.
"Princess, why do you have to make things difficult for the general? If you hurt the princess, the general will not be able to bear it."
"Tch, you are not just a lackey under Empress Wu. Don't be here to show mercy."
"Princess, what do you mean by this? The Queen is the mother of a country. As a general of the imperial court, she has received great kindness from the dragon and must serve the country."
"Really? But don't forget, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the queen is only in charge of the harem and cannot interfere in the court affairs. If she secretly summons court officials, isn't she going to rebel? And you are her party members. If
If the emperor finds out, then you should all implicate the nine tribes."
Su Dingfang's eyes turned cold and he stared at Taiping. After a long time, he said: "The princess reminded me what I should do to prevent the emperor from knowing about it."
Ling Yue's heart skipped a beat. After this, she originally wanted to use the emperor to kill her, but now it seems that she was completely wrong.
"Why are you so mobilized and mobilized?"
"The general is just following orders."
"I think Empress Wu has told you to take this green cup back, right?"
Ling Yue took out the green cup.
Su Dingfang frowned.
"They all say that if you get this cup, you can get the whole world. In my opinion, this is just ridiculous, but you believe it so much that you even throw away your loyalty and filial piety for this cup."
Su Dingfang was silent.
"Miss, you always say that this green cup has great power, but Xiaoxi can't see anything special about it."
"Because it requires human blood or someone suitable to own it to activate it."
"Ah, blood..." Xiaoxi was stunned.
The frowning Su Dingfang suddenly smiled, "Princess, hand over the green cup, and the general will let you live."
"Let me go? Will you let me go? Do you think I will believe it?"
"Then the general will have to apologize."
"What kind of famous general is a person like you who has forgotten all about loyalty and filial piety? You can't even compare to a creek. Xiaoxi, are you willing to jump in with me?"
"Why should I jump in with you?" A strange voice came from the creek suddenly.
Ling Yue was stunned, and she looked back at the stream in astonishment.
