Chapter 451 She is indeed Shen Mu’s daughter
The Beiliao people did not leave, but continued to ambush here.Such scheming and courage made Xiao Chenyan clearly realize for the first time how cunning the enemy he faced was.
"It's the Northern Liao cavalry." The scout recognized through the mask that this was the most powerful unit under the throne of the Northern Liao king.
The leading Beiliao general, wearing a golden mask, said slowly and leisurely: "Shen Mu is really becoming more and more useless. He has lost his son and doesn't look for it. He actually sent an unknown young general. Is it possible? Isn't this Shen Chumu his biological child?"
Hearing the other party mention his brother's name, Shen Ruzhou stood up from behind the carriage and asked, "You intercepted and killed the grain team, where is my brother?"
"Hey, there is a girl." General Beiliao's tone was frivolous, and his body sitting on the horse leaned forward slightly, as if he wanted to see Shen Ruzhou's appearance clearly.
"She is quite good-looking. I just said that my eyelids kept twitching when I went out today. It turns out that I am lucky." General Beiliao looked at him intently and said something funny.
"This eyelid twitching is not only for luck in love, but also for wealth." A middle-aged man with a goatee and beard next to General Beiliao hurriedly flattered him.
"I've never seen the world, it's just a few carts of food, it's nothing like wealth." General Beiliao kicked the military advisor with disdain, turned to the back and ordered: "Kill all the men in a while, give this woman to me Keep the blanket warm."
"Yes." Beiliao soldiers accepted the order and laughed one after another.
Xiao Chenyan drew his knife and stepped forward, pulling Shen Ruzhou behind him, all on guard.
"If you want her, ask the sword in my hand first if she agrees."
"My king? Who are you?" General Beiliao stopped laughing and asked doubtfully.
"Wucheng King Xiao Chenyan." Xiao Chenyan announced his name loudly.
After hearing this, General Beiliao visibly stiffened. This reaction fell into Xiao Chenyan's eyes, and he immediately showed a proud look on his face, shouting loudly: "Since you have heard of my name, those who know the truth should just surrender and capture him!"
Unexpectedly, the Northern Liao general seemed not to have heard of it, but raised his whip high and whipped the military advisor next to him, and cursed angrily: "Trash, you sent so many spies, but you don't even know that King Wucheng has arrived in the north."
The military advisor aggrievedly covered his arm that had been whipped, and replied helplessly: "Young man, I tried my best, but Shen Mu guarded the military camp like an iron bucket, and he really couldn't find out any information."
General Beiliao was too lazy to argue, turned to look at Xiao Chenyan, and spoke with a hint of ridicule.
"King Wucheng should not be short of women, so why not give her to me? You also know that it is bitterly cold in Bei Liao and the nights are long. I need a warm bed more than King Wucheng."
"There is no reason for me to give up my woman to anyone else." Xiao Chenyan refused very domineeringly.
The next moment, General Bei Liao put his finger to his lips and blew a whistle. He heard the sound of horse hooves in the valley, and hundreds of Bei Liao cavalry appeared on the hills on both sides.They were surrounded.
General Beiliao said lazily: "Of course I won't let you give it to me for free. Let's do this. Send this woman over and I will let you live."
This situation reminded Shen Ruzhou of what he said to Xiao Chenyan in the camp yesterday.
"King Wu Cheng, if one day you and I are really in danger, if you don't sacrifice me to protect yourself, it will be the end of your kindness and righteousness. Ru Zhou dare not expect anything else."
It was just an angry remark at the time, but they didn't expect it to be put in front of them so soon.
Shen Ruzhou's heart seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, making her whole body feel cold.
When the body is cold, it will unconsciously seek warmth. Shen Ruzhou looked around like an instinctive reaction, looking for Bei Xiuyan.
The man who had given her warmth and helped her countless times in times of danger would be equally willing to help her out of danger this time.
Shen Ruzhou's eyes moved around, but he didn't see Beixiu Yan.
Shen Ruzhou chuckled, despair rising in his eyes, he was still being sentimental after all.
On the other side, General Beiliao had already assumed the posture of a victor, looking down at them with contempt.
He urged impatiently, "King Wu Cheng, please weigh carefully. This may be your only chance to survive."
Xiao Chenyan looked around with cold eyes. The disparity in strength between the two sides was so great that there was almost no chance of winning.
Of course Shen Ruzhou could also see that the forward battalion led by his brother was defeated by this group of people, and their strength must not be underestimated.
Are you really going to die here today?
She wasn't afraid of death, she just wasn't willing to die like this.
The previous life ended with hatred. I originally planned to take revenge and grudges in this life, and live a free and wanton life. But in the end, I still can't get what I want?
Suddenly, Shen Ruzhou felt a passionate gaze coming from behind her. She turned around and raised her eyes to meet it, but Xiao Chenyan looked away in panic, not daring to look at her.
She immediately understood that Xiao Chenyan had made a choice.
Shen Ruzhou smiled at General Bei Liao, extremely beautiful.
The opponent's bones immediately softened a bit, and if his hand hadn't been holding the reins, he would have almost fallen off the horse.
"General, my daughter is willing to serve. However, the general needs to keep his word and let King Wu Cheng and his entourage leave."
Shen Ruzhou stood proudly in front of the Northern Liao cavalry, with clear features and clear eyes, neither humble nor arrogant.
Such a beautiful woman moved the generals of Bei Liao and couldn't help but praise her, "She is indeed Shen Mu's daughter, she has character."
The military advisor on the side said with a smile: "Master, you just praised Shen Chumu like this."
After hearing this, General Beiliao raised his eyes in the direction of the cliff, let out a long sigh, and said with regret: "I really appreciate Shen Chumu, but he is too rigid. He would rather die than surrender to me." .”
His eyes returned to Shen Ruzhou, and he said with a smile: "Women are more aware of current affairs."
After saying that, he waved to Shen Ruzhou and motioned for her to come over.
Shen Ruzhou lifted up her skirt and stepped forward very cooperatively.
Xiao Chenyan grabbed her arm, his expression was tangled and painful, his eyes were filled with unbearability, and finally he just whispered in Shen Ruzhou's ear, "Be careful."
The corners of Shen Ruzhou's mouth curled up, and he looked back at him with a smile.Xiao Chenyan had never seen such a smile before. It was not the bright and lively smile when she fell in love with him, nor the cold and contemptuous smile when she was separated from him. There were too many unspeakable things in this smile. It was so beautiful but it made people uncomfortable. Dare to get close.
"Guard the Northern City."
Shen Ruzhou whispered in Xiao Chenyan's ear that she didn't do this because Xiao Chenyan wanted to abandon her. People who had been abandoned in the previous life were just doing it again. She couldn't even hate them.
She was only willing to exchange her life for the stability of the northern territory and the peace of the people. In this way, she would die a worthy death and live a new life in vain.
Shen Ruzhou forcefully pulled his arm away from Xiao Chenyan's palm, and then walked towards General Beiliao in a dignified manner.
The hand hidden in her sleeve had already grasped the poisonous needle tightly, which was stained with the poison that would seal the throat when it saw blood. As soon as Xiao Chenyan and his party left safely, she would die together with General Beiliao.
Xiao Chenyan looked at his empty palm, which still contained Shen Ruzhou's body temperature.Her awe-inspiring righteousness and determination to die deeply hurt him. He lowered his eyes and said nothing, his heart agitated.
The Bei Liao general on horseback looked condescendingly, suddenly kicked the military advisor next to him, and said in a joking tone: "Go and search her body, don't be like the girl from southern Xinjiang who was kidnapped last time." , there is a poisonous snake hidden in my sleeve, if I hadn’t reacted quickly, there would be grass growing on the grave now.”
