C53 (1/2)

In the end, her heart softened. At the last moment, he was afraid that he would hurt her, so he temporarily let her go. The situation that night had been completely reversed.

Yin Su knew that the other generals had many complaints in private. Originally, they had already completed their mission with victory in sight, but now they had to start over from the beginning. Therefore, at this moment, he was exhausted, but he still forced himself to keep up his spirits and boost his morale.

”Three days later, we will definitely bring you all to raze this Xuan Kingdom.”

He did not say much. Just this sentence alone gave everyone confidence and direction. Tonight was just an accident. After tomorrow, there would be no mercy for this woman.

After everyone had been dismissed, he returned alone to the mansion that he had stayed in with Sixi. The door was still open. On the bed, she had changed out of her daytime clothes, and the bedding was still in the untidied state. It could be seen that she had been woken up and tied up.

The men's farming, the women's weaving, the sun setting, was what he had said the first time they had entered the house. He never would have thought that in just a few days, things would change. Furthermore, he never would have thought that he would actually lose her after coming to the Xuan Kingdom.

When he had used her as bait, it had truly hurt her heart. Therefore, when she left, there was not a single trace of nostalgia in her eyes. Not only that, there was also hatred.

Yes, she hated him for leaving.

In this bed, in this bed, in this bed, there was still her warmth and her light body fragrance. Without changing his clothes, he directly laid down on top of her, resting his head on the pillow she had used, covering the blanket she had covered. His breath was filled with her scent, thus allowing him to feel more at ease.

He took a wrong step, but there was no room for him to turn back. He had given his A Xi to someone else.

Three days later, he brought his elite troops and successfully broke through the core of Xuan Kingdom in one fell swoop. Under his leadership and deployment, no matter how strong the troops of the Xuan Kingdom were, their numbers were still extremely limited.

With Yin Su in the lead, their morale was boosted like a hot knife cutting through butter. They slowly won, beating the Xuan Kingdom's troops until they were utterly defeated.

When their troops reached the palace in Xuan Kingdom, they realized that there were only a few palace maids left standing guard, while the rest of the people had all miraculously disappeared.

There were only a few emperors in the Xuan Kingdom, especially in Xuan Yelie's area, where he was the only one. The rest were all some princess, consort, etc.

Yin Su didn't know whether Xuan Yelie had given up on his own country and disappeared without a trace, or if he had made a plan in advance or a temporary decision.

It was almost impossible to find anyone after digging three feet into the ground of this palace.

Only now did Yin Su become truly afraid. He had always been too overconfident, he had never doubted being able to raze Xuan Kingdom to the ground.

He thought that it would only be three days. He had been able to find A Xi at Xuan Yelie's place, but he never thought that Xuan Yelie would abandon his country and disregard everything.

In the end, the Xuan Kingdom surrendered to the entire kingdom. From then on, there was no longer a Xuan Kingdom in the world, and it became a province under the ruler of the kingdom.

Both sides belonged to the same dynasty, so there was no longer any dispute.

Everything seemed so natural, so natural.

All the citizens of the city, as well as the ministers of the imperial court, were all elated as they saw the great army that was set out to battle return without a single injury. They had lined up early at the Tiancheng city gate to welcome the Emperor's triumphant return.

Cang Ruoyu, along with a group of concubines, greeted them at the entrance of the palace. Eunuch An was also at the front, waiting for the emperor. She was looking forward to the stars and the moon. The Emperor had finally returned. All of them were so excited that they didn't know what to expect.

When they finally saw the Emperor ride into the palace, they saw that he was expressionless and his face was ashen, without the slightest hint of triumph. They didn't dare to say a single word.

He could only kneel down and pay his respects, watching as the emperor's horse gradually left their sight.

The Eunuch An was an extremely perceptive person. Seeing the Emperor's expression, he took a look at the Emperor's body and realized that he had not brought back even a single piece of her luggage.

His heart skipped a beat and he instantly felt a chill down his spine.

Could it be that Imperial Concubine Xi met with mishap? Death in another place? Thinking about this, Eunuch An broke out in cold sweat, but she didn't dare ask anything and only busied herself with serving the Emperor.

Everyone in the palace realized that Imperial Concubine Xi did not return, and when they saw the Emperor's expression, they guessed that something bad must have happened to Imperial Concubine Xi.

Cang Ruoyu had already secretly called over the generals who accompanied him to report everything.

The general stammered for a long time before finally opening his mouth to speak as the empress of Cang Ruoyu.

”The Imperial Concubine Xi acted as an enemy, and when the Emperor found out, he hung them over the city gate. Originally, he wanted to execute them, but he was saved by the young master of the Xuan Kingdom.”

When Cang Ruoyu heard the general's reply, her heart madly jumped as she asked in disbelief.

”Is this true? So is she dead or alive now? ”

”On the day they attacked the Xuan Kingdom, the Emperor searched through the entire Xuan Kingdom's palace hall inside and outside, but he couldn't find the young master or the Imperial Concubine Xi.”

”So she's still alive? have disappeared alive together with the young master of the Xuan Kingdom. ”

This is the last important thing Cang Ruoyu caught on to, she sneered in her heart. Zhen Liuxi, oh Zhen Liuxi, I thought you were smart enough to do such a foolish thing. The enemy? You're still running away with the enemy kingdom's young master? He would probably never be able to step half a step into this palace again in his life. Countless thoughts flashed across Cang Ruoyu's mind. She wanted to make use of this chance to completely destroy Zhen Liuxi and the Zhen Clan.

Other than Cang Ruoyu, Gu Shen and Gu Nanfeng were also worried about Qixi's whereabouts. Naturally, they had also received the same news from the generals under their command.

Hearing that, Gu Nanfeng's face turned white, and after asking the general some more details, he stopped, as though he was deep in thought.

Gu Shen taunted.

”Not only do you have immense courage, you're also extremely capable. Other than the Emperor, other than you, you can also play around with the young master of the Xuan Kingdom in your hands. You can even give up your country for her sake.”

After she finished speaking, she looked at her brother and let out a long sigh of relief. This Zhen Liuxi was like a ticking time bomb. As long as she was in the palace, it was unknown when she would explode, blowing her, Big Brother, and even the Gu Residence into pieces.

Seeing her brother in such a tense and fearful state, and looking as if he had lost his soul, she was also a bit angry and didn't want to argue with him …
