The blazing bonfire burned freely, making occasional crackling sounds.
The surrounding atmosphere was tense.
Princess Zhaoyang looked at the third prince Wala with a gloomy face, "So it seems that you are planning all this secretly?"
"Planning secretly? You can say that...
But I never thought that things would turn out so perfect.
It's also my fault that my incompetent father Khan is willing to always rely on you Wei people. As his son, how can I let him go further and further down the stupid road?
Therefore, I managed to get this errand to go to the capital of your Kingdom of Wei. The purpose was just to secretly sabotage this alliance.
Unexpectedly, you Wei people are actually afraid of the Tatars and want to form an alliance with us. For this reason, you even gave me your most noble princess.
To be honest, after being together for such a long time, I suddenly feel reluctant to hurt such a beautiful princess..."
The half-day trip didn't seem to have much impact on Prince Wala, who had a contented smile on his face.
Speaking of being proud, I even wanted to step forward and touch Princess Zhaoyang’s handsome face.
Upon seeing this, the Imperial Guards immediately defended each other with swords, but immediately more Wala guards with steel swords and malicious intentions approached, making them afraid to act rashly.
Princess Zhaoyang was very calm. She stood there and frowned and asked, "Aren't you afraid of being punished by King Wala if you do this?"
"Punishment? All this was done by the Tatars, and I just managed to escape with my life under the protection of the guards.
Even if my father Khan wanted to punish me, he would only punish my stupid brother, the Second Prince.
Who allowed him to neglect his duty and allow so many Tatar troops to enter the hinterland?"
Having said this, Prince Wala looked at Princess Zhaoyang jokingly and said with a smile: "Dear Princess, don't you think you still have the opportunity to complain to my father Khan?"
"So, those Tatar troops before were all disguised by your subordinates?" Princess Zhaoyang smiled clearly, suddenly twitched the black hair beside her ear, and asked: "Listen to what the prince said, this is
Don’t you plan to keep me alive?
But didn’t you just say that you were reluctant to hurt me?”
"Of course I can't bear to part with it, but those barbarians in Yachaha may not.
From what I know about them, they are very keen on plundering the women of your Wei State, especially those with tender skin and high status.
For example, Your Royal Highness the Princess."
Princess Zhaoyang was silent for a moment, then Shi Ran said: "I understand, it seems that the prince plans to capture me and give me to the Tatars.
But I’m curious, haven’t you and the Tatars always been incompatible? Aren’t you worried that those Tatars will betray you later?”
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry about this."
Prince Wala didn't take Princess Zhaoyang's words to heart at all. When he saw Princess Zhaoyang speaking, he pretended not to care and looked into the dark night sky in the distance. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Your Highness, there is no need to waste your efforts."
It's stalling for time.
I might as well tell you that at this moment, my subordinates have surrounded this place.
As for your subordinates and subjects...
It was in vain that I thought that Jia Lian was a person, so I was careful to be wary of him along the way.
Who knows, it’s just a show-off.
I just used a little trick to trick the idiot named Zhu into the Yin Wood Forest, and the purpose is to let you divide your troops to rescue him.
Otherwise, with such a large number of cavalry in your camp, if we abandon those burdens and make a special trip to escort you away, there is really no guarantee that we can stop you, princess.
In the words of you Wei people, this is called "moving the tiger away from the mountain." But who knew that not only was Jia Lian unable to figure out my plan, but he also took away almost all the cavalry in your camp.
Hahaha, such a stupid and incompetent person can be reused by you in this way, which shows that there is no one in your Wei country.
Even if he is lucky enough to escape from Yachaha's hands this time, when he returns to Zhanghetan, he will see that the ground has turned into nutrients, nourishing the Wei people in our land of Wala, and Her Royal Highness the Princess has become a prisoner.
I don’t know what to think?
I'm really curious about whether he will have the courage to return to the capital of Wei State and deliver a message to your emperor when the time comes.
Hahaha, for the sake of traveling together, I thought of a good destination for him. Why not stay in our grassland and lead his subordinates to become a bandit, maybe it is a good choice... Hahaha..."
The third prince looked like he had seen through all Princess Zhaoyang's thoughts but didn't care at all. He only wanted to release the pride that he had been holding back for several months.
When the imperial guards guarding Princess Zhaoyang heard what Prince Wala said, they all looked desperate.
But then, most of the people stared at the barbarians in front of them with firm eyes and a look of death.
The counselor and deputy counselor were guarding Princess Zhaoyang respectively, and shouted: "Your Highness, you go first, and the others in the lower ranks will follow you!!"
As a princess's bodyguard, he must protect the princess even if he dies.
Princess Zhaoyang's face finally showed a hint of panic. Prince Wala was even more proud when he saw this, "I advise the princess to just surrender and don't make a useless struggle.
For the sake of Princess, you almost became my noble Ordo, as long as you, Princess, surrender to me now, maybe I can change my mind and keep you by my side."
The third prince of Wala suddenly revealed the aggressive look common to men, and said bewilderingly: "The princess must also know that Mengge and I are just using each other.
When the time comes, if I hand over a Han woman to her casually, he probably won't be able to see through it.
In this way, it will not affect my plan and prevent the princess from falling into the hands of evildoers...
Your Highness Princess, there is no need to laugh. At least this prince is a man of taste. Serving by my side is much better than falling into the hands of that savage Meng.
Moreover, these brave soldiers around you will not have to die in vain.
What does the princess think?"
Princess Zhaoyang raised her eyebrows when she heard this.
Under the reflection of the bonfire, you can clearly see a bright smile on her face.
"Oh, really, thank you very much for His Highness the Prince's kindness.
However, I am a stubborn person.
Until the last moment, I still want to try...what if someone comes to save me?"
As she spoke, Princess Zhaoyang calmly took out a piece of something from her sleeve, held it in her hand, and uncovered one end of it with her other hand.
Only a loud and harsh sound was heard, and a spark cut through the night and flew high into the sky. With a huge "bang", the most beautiful colors bloomed in the night sky, attracting everyone's attention.
The Third Prince of Wala was familiar with Han culture and had personally visited the Han region several times, so he naturally knew about the fireworks made by the Han people.
At this time, Princess Zhaoyang suddenly acted like this. Naturally, she couldn't be having fun before she died. She must be sending a signal.
His expression darkened.
However, after a moment, he saw that everything was still quiet around him. Prince Wala shook his head and said with a smile: "It seems that the princess will not shed tears without seeing the coffin."
As he spoke, his face turned cold, and he waved his hand and ordered in his native language: "Kill everyone except the princess of Wei."
"yes!"
When all the guards in Wala heard this, they all showed cruel looks in their eyes, and they were about to surround and kill him.
"Kill~kill~~"
Suddenly, a sound of fighting came from far and near in the dark night, shaking everyone's spirits.
The third prince of Wala suddenly turned around and looked into the distance in shock.
He is such a cautious person. In order to catch a beautiful woman, he mobilized almost all his trusted troops in southern Oara.
At this moment, at least thousands of troops have gathered around!
The reason why they were not allowed to approach immediately was because they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to enjoy the Princess of Wei first.
Otherwise, he would be somewhat unwilling to give such a beautiful and noble woman to Tatar for nothing.
Could it be that those Tatars betrayed their trust and attacked him in turn...
The third prince of Wala guessed in his heart.
But he didn't have time to think too much, because he suddenly heard the violent sound of horse hooves rushing towards this direction crazily.
