He tried his best to rescue her. Over the past few days, he had become accustomed to her dependence, but he didn't expect that all she could think about was leaving!

He was extremely reluctant to her decision, but thinking about it carefully, he really had no reason to keep her in the camp.

"Young master, you are busy with your affairs, so it's not a big deal for me to always rely on you!" Jinghua Hairpin smiled, "Besides, maybe my parents are looking for me everywhere now! My injury is almost healed. I think I should go back to the city to look for them——"

There was another moment of silence, and Yelu Daiqin looked at the person in front of him calmly.

He felt very reluctant to let go of this woman who had only been by his side for less than half a month, but he, Yelu Daiqin, never did anything that forced others to do something difficult.

"Okay." Yelu Daiqin withdrew his eyes and picked up the tea cup on the desk, "I promise you, I will send you back to the city tomorrow."

Hearing this, Wen Chan and Qing'e looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to escape from this ghost place!

Jing Huahan smiled and served Yelu Daiqin some food, "Then we go to see the snow-capped mountains after eating?"

Yelu Daiqin was shocked. He didn't expect that she would remember his casual words in her heart, and hurriedly responded, "Okay! It just so happened that the sun was hazy today and there was no wind. It was a good time to go see the snow-capped mountains!" "

With that said, after the two of them had finished their meal, Yelu Daiqin sent someone to prepare the horse. Thinking that he might be too showy before getting the token, something might happen, so he only called Ninke and another captain, the third captain. Danf, a group of four people rode horses to the snow-capped mountains.

There were several tents stuck crookedly in the snow. Soldiers with tired faces were sitting or lying on the ground in twos and threes. Their morale was low as they looked around.

At the foot of the empty plain, there was no sound except for a few unknown birds chirping. It was extremely quiet.

A rumble of horse hooves came from not far away. Shijin stood up first, took a few steps and looked into the distance.

Not far away, a jumping red dot gradually appeared. After a moment, Shi Jin saw clearly that it was a horse. Then, a voice came from the horse.

"Report! - King Yu's handwriting!"

King Yu! Hearing the sound, Qi He immediately walked out of the tent and saw Shi Jin standing not far away looking at him, "Is someone coming?"

"It seems so, Major General!" Shi Jin shouted back and continued to look.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer. Qi He took a few steps away from the tent and went out to greet him.

As soon as he stood still, the man dismounted and knelt down in front of him with both hands.

"Report! His Royal Highness Prince Yu personally wrote the handwriting! Please ask Major General Qi to sign it personally!"

After being separated from Jinghua Hairpin, Qi He decisively returned to the city to lead troops to resist the Beidi army. However, Beidi's attack was fierce and he was unable to resist. In the end, he had to flee the city miserably with some soldiers.

It has been more than ten days since he lost contact with the city. In order to get in touch with the generals and ministers, he has been stationed in this place that is not considered safe these days. He sent several soldiers one after another but failed to bring back any news. At this moment, he looked at the prince Yu Shan's handwriting made Qi He feel a choking pain in his throat.

He took the document with trembling hands and unfolded it carefully. After a while, he slowly closed the document, and a tear quietly passed through the corner of his eye.

"Young General, what did the eldest prince say?" Looking at Qi He's sad face, Shi Jin felt uneasy in his heart.

"Your Majesty and the Queen -" Qi He clutched Shi Jin's shoulders tightly, his face full of endured pain, and his eyes were scarlet, "they have been killed by Beidi people! Their heads - were hung on the tower of Yong'an Gate. The upper body was thrown to Nanshan——"

After saying the last word, Qi He's throat was too sad to make a sound.

"These barbarians! God will never forgive them!" Shi Jin spat fiercely, and two lines of tears instantly fell from his eyes.

Qi He couldn't hold it any longer and sat down on the ground.

After calming down for a while, he held the document in front of his eyes and read it again. He suddenly remembered Jing Hua's words in the ruined temple that night, and he let out a sneer.

"Perhaps, the princess is right. If there is karma, then this ending is God's retribution for our great scene -"

"Perhaps, in our great times, we were really too harsh on Beidi - everything must be reversed at the extreme, so they, Beidi, are so intolerable -"

"The way of heaven! This is the way of heaven! This is the cause and effect!" Qi He sighed and lay on his back on the ground. "I don't think about it anymore. From now on, you only have one thing, and that is to find the princess." ! If we can’t find the princess—let’s all go and bury them with His Majesty and the Queen!”
