Following Gu Beichen's order, even Bai Yu headed in the direction of Arina. He could feel that there was someone behind An Ruowan protecting her, so he could take action boldly.
The man in black's offensive weakened at this moment, but Gu Beichen frowned and said, "Chase!"
Seeing the men in black preparing to leave, how could Gu Beichen let them leave so easily.
Soon Qingfeng lifted the two of them down from the air and threw them in front of Gu Beichen with a wave of his hand.
"My lord, I only caught two."
Gu Beichen took a closer look and realized that these two people had had their jaws removed, their hands and feet were disabled, and they were thrown to the ground to become useless people. It could also prevent them from escaping and committing suicide.
Before Gu Beichen could ask, Arina, who was still in shock, got off the carriage tremblingly. When she saw the corpses on the ground, she fainted.
Seeing this, Gu Beichen didn't bother to ask who sent the man in black on the ground. He could only ask someone to invite An Ruowan over to see what was going on.
"It's okay. I'm too frightened. Just calm down for a while."
An Ruowan didn't take this matter to heart, after all, Arina was much quieter when she fainted than when she woke up.
Hearing this, Gu Beichen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After specifically instructing the maid next to Arina to take good care of her, he turned around and strode out.
It didn't take long for Arina to wake up. She thought Gu Beichen would be by her side, but after looking around, she realized that she was still in the carriage, and the carriage was shaking as it continued to move forward, as if she had fainted. It's not a big deal.
"Didn't anyone ask how my princess was injured?"
Arina sat up in surprise, with a hint of displeasure in her eyes.
The maid told all the conversations between An Ruowan and Gu Beichen, and then she knelt on the ground tremblingly.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Arina slapped her twice with her backhand, "Trash, this princess has become like this, and you can't even leave anyone behind. What use does this princess have for you!"
The maid lowered her eyes, not daring to say a word.
However, no one outside cared about what happened on the carriage. Everyone's attention was focused on the man in black. Who didn't want Arina to go to Daqi?
Gu Beichen already had a guess in his mind, but he didn't say anything in front of everyone.
Just because he didn't speak, it didn't mean that others weren't ready to speak. Not long after he walked forward, Gu Qishen came to Gu Beichen with a look of disdain.
"I wonder if the emperor knows what happened just now? Those people are obviously coming for Princess Tuoba. Is the emperor confident that he can return to Beijing smoothly?"
Hearing this, Gu Beichen cast his eyes on Gu Qishen. He recalled in his mind the figure of Gu Qishen who turned away after seeing the body on the ground, and mentally ruled out his suspicion.
An Ruowan was just as curious as Gu Beichen about what happened. She also wanted to prevent Arina from having an accident halfway, but the situation just now was too dangerous.
However, this trip to the border allowed her to see clearly what kind of person the second prince Gu Qishen was.
Apart from anything else, this personality alone was far different from what she had imagined.
An Ruowan looked at Gu Qishen's back and shook her head unconsciously.
After Arina finished teaching the maid in the carriage, she pretended to be weak and came to Gu Beichen.
"Brother Beichen, I was so scared when I saw the bloody scene on the ground. Didn't it scare you?" When Arina faced Gu Beichen, the expression on her face was different from others.
But after she finished speaking, she realized that Gu Beichen didn't pay attention to her words at all.
Arina looked at Gu Beichen's back, gritted her teeth and fell off the horse with a look of dizziness.
"Princess!"
The maid who came here with Arina didn't expect that she would be so cruel, so she panicked and shouted out.
Arina only felt that as her body fell, a strong hand appeared from her waist to hold her tightly in her arms and place her firmly on the ground.
After her feet landed on the ground again, Arina's face became a little more joyful, "I knew that Brother Beichen would never ignore me..."
Before he finished speaking, the maid behind him quickly ran over and said, "Princess, please open your eyes first and take a look."
Hearing this, Arina's eyes were full of impatience. After opening her eyes a little, she saw that the person who saved her was not Gu Beichen, but a soldier.
Seeing this, Arina's face suddenly darkened. After pushing the person away with a wave of her hand, she quickly stepped forward to catch up with Gu Beichen again.
This scene fell into the eyes of others, and for a moment they didn't know what kind of expression they should show.
"Why does the princess of Tuoba Kingdom insist on stalking Prince Rong? After returning to Beijing, can the princess still become a princess?"
"What do you know? It is simply impossible for Tuoba Kingdom to seek peace now. If the peace cannot be achieved, then the peace petition may not count."
"Although everyone hopes that the war can end as soon as possible, the princess saved my life. I really don't want to trade my position as Princess Rong for a moment of peace."
Everyone was chatting, but An Ruowan's carriage happened to be passing by. Someone saw this and quickly poked the arm of the person next to them, and a few people closed their mouths one after another.
However, all their words had fallen into An Ruowan's ears, but she didn't care about it.
"Miss, the Princess of Tuoba Kingdom is obviously here for the identity of Princess Rong. Are we just going to watch?"
Seeing that An Ruowan still looked so unhurried, even Caihuan couldn't help but speak.
"Who has ever promised me the title of Princess Royal?"
An Ruowan only asked lightly, leaving Caihuan stunned.
Indeed, it was Prince Rong who personally admitted that he wanted to marry An Ruowan, but now the Princess of Tuoba Kingdom showed her kindness several times, but Gu Beichen turned a deaf ear to it, fearing that the two sides would be in conflict with each other.
Caihuan breathed a sigh of relief, but then she remembered something else.
"But what if the condition for Tuoba's withdrawal is to allow Prince Rong to marry her?"
After the words fell, Caihuan saw that the expression on An Ruowan's face stiffened a bit.
"If this matter can come in handy if you and I are anxious here, then I can sit with you and worry about this matter without eating or drinking."
After a while, An Ruowan responded to Caihuan's words.
The team still continued to move forward. Fortunately, nothing else happened after the last incident. The big stone in everyone's heart finally fell to the ground!
When the emperor heard that Gu Beichen had returned victoriously, he came to the city gate to greet him personally.
However, there was another reason why the emperor came here in person. It was because Arina, the princess of Tuoba Kingdom, also came here with the army. The emperor wanted to show his importance.
