A sneer appeared at the corner of Tuoba Mingge's mouth, and all the obsessions in his heart disappeared.
Today, he is a sinner in the eyes of his father and mother.
He made a mistake and there is no way back.
Tuoba Mingge closed his eyes slightly, covering up the deep pain in his eyes.
In order to survive, he can only go to the dark side.
Father, mother, concubine, don’t blame me!
Jiang Ru was stared at by Yuan Lang, and Yuan Lang would follow her even when she was out of court. Jiang Ru looked calm on the surface, but in fact she was beginning to panic in her heart.
It had been three days since she came out of Xixia. Yuan Lang took her back to Dayan first. However, her and Tuoba Mingge's plan could not be implemented until they met.
Now, Tuoba Mingge has not left the Xixia Royal City yet.
All she has to do is delay.
Jiang Ru came out of the hut. With Yuan Lang watching her the whole time, she washed her hands slowly and thought about how she could stay here for a few more days.
Tuoba Mingge's people were in the dark, waiting to respond to them. Jiang Ru touched the porcelain bottle on her chest, a flash of light flashed in her eyes, and she had an idea in her mind.
She washed her hands and followed Yuan Lang back to the team.
Yuan Lang's brothers are all Jiang Zhe's cronies and are relatively familiar with Jiang Ru.
Because of her betrayal of Dayan and the general, these soldiers did not have a good impression of her.
Especially when Yuan Lang stared at her all day long, these soldiers felt that they were overqualified.
"Brother Yuan, she is already in our hands and she will never be able to escape. Why do you keep staring at her?"
If you want them to say, just tie the person with shackles.
I don’t know what Brother Yuan was thinking, but he was reluctant to put shackles on Jiang Ru. Could it be that he saw her delicate skin and tender flesh and how beautiful she was, and he was worried that she would be hurt and he felt sorry for her?
Several brothers had random thoughts in their minds, but they did not dare to say them out in front of Yuan Lang.
In fact, Yuan Lang also thought about tying her up, but Jiang Ru had an arrogant temper. As long as he touched her with a finger, Jiang Ru would start making a fuss.
After all, she was the general's daughter, and Yuan Lang couldn't force herself, so he could only keep an eye on her.
The team rested for half an hour and were about to continue walking. Yuan Lang kicked Jiang Ru's legs to get her up.
However, he kicked twice, but the woman sitting on the ground did not respond.
He frowned and the strength on his feet increased.
"Jiang Ru, get up!"
"Brother Yuan, is she sick?"
The movement here attracted the attention of others. A soldier came over and glanced at Jiang Ru.
Her head was buried in her knees, and her hair hanging down covered her face, making her expression unclear.
"Sick?"
Yuan Lang pursed his thin lips tightly, subconsciously not believing it.
She was fine when she went to the latrine, how could she fall ill so quickly?
"After all, she is a weak little lady. We rough people are used to being exposed in the wind and rain. These days, we have been sleeping in the open air, eating and sleeping outside. I am afraid that her body cannot hold on, so she is tired and sick."
After Xiao Bing finished speaking, the coldness on Yuan Lang's face gradually softened.
Jiang Ru must be really exhausted these days.
"Rest for another half an hour!"
He stared at the woman on the ground for a while and then ordered in a deep voice.
There was no military doctor in the team and there was no way to check her pulse. If she was really tired, she would just rest a little longer. Anyway, the border crossing was coming soon, so there was no rush for this moment.
Jiang Ru's face was pale as she was buried in her knees, and she was sweating heavily. She clenched her teeth tightly, as if she was in great pain.
Half an hour later, not only did she not recover, she even fainted.
Only then did Yuan Lang realize the seriousness of the matter.
"Jiang Ru, wake up, Jiang Ru!"
He pushed Jiang Ru's hair away with his hands, and when he saw her pale face, Yuan Lang's eyes flashed with solemnity.
Jiang Ru's appearance also shocked the surrounding soldiers.
"Brother Yuan, isn't she suffering from heatstroke?"
It was already July, the hottest time of the year. They had been walking outside and could easily have suffered a heat stroke and passed out.
"It's not like that. Why do I feel like she was poisoned..."
The man who spoke was from the junction of Xixia and Border Pass. People in his village knew poison, so he could somewhat identify Jiang Ru's illness.
"Poisoned? Are you sure?"
Yuan Lang asked in a deep voice.
They had been walking for so long and ate only the dry food they carried with them, so they would not be poisoned. However, Jiang Ru's appearance of more air coming out and less air coming in showed that she was in danger no matter what.
The general is still waiting for her to return, so nothing can happen to her.
Xiao Bing had a dull temper, and he mustered up the courage to speak out just now. When Yuan Lang asked again, he hesitated for a moment, and then nodded firmly.
"Look at Madam Jiang's lips, which are black and blue, and her face, which is as white as paper. These are signs of poisoning."
This little soldier was attentive. Thinking of seeing Jiang Ru grab a handful of wild fruits from the grass to eat, he quickly pushed aside the grass and picked another one.
This fruit looks red and looks mouth-watering, but it is actually a poisonous fruit. After eating it, a person will feel numb all over the body, then slowly lose consciousness, and finally fall into a coma.
Yuan Lang is from the capital and has never seen this kind of fruit, but Xiaobing is different and is very familiar with these wild fruits.
Now it was even more certain that Jiang Ru was poisoned.
"You go first, I will take her to the doctor."
Hearing about the toxicity of Ma Guo, Yuan Lang naturally knew about Jiang Ru's danger. There was a town ten miles away from here, and he could get there quickly on horseback.
Moreover, Jiang Ru has been poisoned now. As a young lady, Yuan Lang is not afraid of her escaping.
After he gave the order, all the soldiers obeyed the order.
Jiang Ru listened to Yuan Lang's instructions and lowered her head with a smile of success.
It was not in vain that she tested the poison on her own body, and finally was able to delay time.
And Tuoba Mingge over there was also escorted out of Xixia. He was shackled and handcuffed, and followed Dayan's army in disheveled clothes.
The prince stood on the city wall and looked at his embarrassed appearance, his face full of pride.
He is surrounded by his cronies, many of whom are princes from aristocratic families in the royal city. In the past, Tuoba Mingge was astonishingly talented and had overshadowed them in every aspect. Some people had long been dissatisfied.
Now he has become a prisoner of Dayan, and many people want to see the joke.
"Tsk...Looking at him like this, he is not as decent as the boys under me."
"How can a prisoner be compared to the servants of Brother Liu's family? He was taken away by Dayan's people, and there is no telling what he will do in the future. I'm afraid he will be thrown into the mining area to work as a coolie."
"That's not what he wanted. He dug iron ore secretly at first, but now it's time for him to dig enough!"
Speaking of this prince, he was still a little angry. If he had succeeded, now the crown prince of Xixia would have to be replaced.
Now although Xixia has returned to Dayan, his biggest competitor has also been eliminated. The prince has no future, but he feels that his life is pretty good now.
It is not bad to be a minister of Dayan. Anyway, in Xixia, he is still inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
