Heaven Scheme Palace

Dan Qing Han watched as they got closer, while she stood at the top, he could clearly see the black clothed men hiding in the grass everywhere, pointing their bows at Pei Sheng.

"Pei Sheng, an ambush!" Dan Qing Han shouted at him, before he could finish, a dozen arrows had already been shot at him.

Pei Sheng suddenly jumped away from his mount, and took out his sword from his waist, spinning to dodge the arrow, while the other three subordinates also jumped down from their horses, protecting Pei Sheng from the arrows.

After shooting out ten arrows in a row, Pei Sheng was still unharmed, but he had consumed a bit of energy.

With one hand, Ling Xuan Su tightly grabbed onto Dan Qing Han's arm, and with the other hand pressing the dagger against her neck, he said condescendingly: "Pei Sheng, if you want her to live, then come forward alone."

"Don't come over, there are ambushes everywhere!" Dan Qing Han persistently reminded Pei Sheng.

Pei Sheng seemed to not hear her warning, and continued to walk forward, but after walking a few steps, he realized that something was wrong, and his entire body started to sink, his lower leg immediately sinking into the muddy swamp.

Ling Xuan Su saw that Pei Sheng had fallen into his trap, and laughed: "War God who has swept across everything, let us see how you will escape today."

"General!" When the subordinates saw that Pei Sheng was trapped in the swamp and unable to move, they wanted to rush forward to save him. However, the few Death Soldier s had already thrown their bows and arrows, with swords in their hands, they rushed forward to stop them.

As Ling Xuan Su watched him sink into the swamp bit by bit, his eyes revealed a strong smile. "I'm sinking into the swamp bit by bit, but in the end, I feel like I'm going to suffocate.

"I never knew that the Ling Xuan Su I know could actually be so despicable!" Dan Qing Han's face was brimming with anger, "We are all citizens of Da Jin, and General Pei has dedicated fourteen years to the prosperity of this Da Jin, yet you use such a method to treat him. Don't you feel ashamed?"

However, an ice-cold chill flashed across Ling Xuan Su's eyes: "You aren't even married to him, and you're already defending him like this?"

Dan Qing Han was extremely furious, she turned and saw Pei Sheng standing motionlessly in the swamp, but she could not stop herself from sinking, in a moment it was all over his thighs.

"I beg of you, please let him go. You just need to deal with Xuan Yuan Jing." Dan Qing Han finally retracted the edge of her body as she pleaded in a low voice.

"You begged me for him?" Ling Xuan Su laughed and shook his head, "You like him?"

"Yes, I like him. I've liked him since I was young." Dan Qing Han enunciated every word: "As long as you let him go, I will promise you anything!"

Ling Xuan Su squinted, and revealed a cold look in his eyes. "Then, I won't let him go either.

"Let's go!" Ling Xuan Su grabbed Dan Qing Han and was about to leave the place, but she didn't move at all, as she stared deeply at Pei Sheng who was stuck in a deep swamp. Today, he was trapped in a dangerous situation in order to save her, so how could she watch him die because of his?

Suddenly, he elbowed Ling Xuan Su who was beside him hard. His chest felt a dull pain as he retreated a few steps, and the dagger that was pressed against her neck also slashed across her neck. Ling Xuan Su did not go all out, if not Dan Qing Han would not have only cut a little bit of his skin and flesh.

"Dan Qing Han!" Ling Xuan Su bellowed, he could not even stand steadily, and tumbled down the hill.

Dan Qing Han tumbled down the mountain, without caring about the pain all over her body, she ran towards Pei Sheng, fumbled about for a solid place to lie down, and extended his hand towards Pei Sheng, "Come, grab my hand."

Pei Sheng did not extend his hand, staring at her: "They are about to ignite the gunpowder."

"Give me your hand!" Dan Qing Han waved his hand anxiously.

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Pei Sheng asked again.

"Were you afraid of death when you came to save me?" Dan Qing Han asked.

Hearing that, Pei Sheng's eyes turned deep, his mouth revealing a gentle smile, he extended his hand out towards her, and held onto her hands tightly.

With one hand, Dan Qing Han climbed onto a large boulder that was buried under the ground and the other hand exerted all of her strength to pull Pei Sheng, wanting to use his own strength to pull him up, but she had underestimated the swamp. Just a weak girl like her could not pull Pei Sheng who was buried deep inside, and could only slightly slow down his sinking speed.

However, she didn't give up at all, and sweat rolled down her forehead drop by drop. The only thing in her mind was this: Pei Sheng couldn't die, he couldn't die because of her.

On the mountain slope, Death Soldier holding a torch saw that Ling Xuan Su had been silent for a long time, and could not help but ask: "Master, do we need to light it up?"

Ling Xuan Su stood against the wind as his ice-cold eyes stared at the Dan Qing Han who was not willing to let go the entire time. Thinking about her injured palm, he thought that it had probably cracked again.

She was truly a stubborn and unafraid of death. But back then, didn't he like her precisely because of this bit of boldness?

As long as she was certain of one thing, she would give her all and give him her loyalty and trust.

Only now, all of her loyalty and trust had been given to someone else. She no longer had the same heart as Ling Xuan Su.

"Master?" Death Soldier looked at him, who had not spoken a word since the beginning.

Ling Xuan Su deeply closed his eyes, then opened them again. In his heart, he had always warned himself to remember the responsibilities he had shouldered, and not ruin all of these years of tolerance and scheming because of the selfishness of his children.

•

And at this moment, Dan Qing Han was finally unable to endure it any longer. Her hands slipped, and she was actually brought down the swamp by Pei Sheng.

Landing on the swamp, she suddenly took a deep breath, looked at Pei Sheng and laughed: "Do you think I am useless? I originally wanted to save you, but I ended up bringing myself here."

However, Pei Sheng's hand held tightly onto her, and did not loosen its grip from beginning to end. A pair of cold eyes contained complex emotions, but he only sighed.

"It's all your fault. What happened to the two of you? and left me alone in the house. " Dan Qing Han angrily criticized him.

"Your skills are no longer as good as before." Pei Sheng explained somewhat helplessly.

"Then why did you bring that fancy Xuan Yuan Jing along?" Dan Qing Han had a questioning look.

Pei Sheng lowered his head and laughed, "Because Xiaoqing is Young Master Cheng's fiancee."

Dan Qing Han lowered her eyes and muttered: "He's taking advantage of me again! However... Seeing that you are a general whom I have admired since I was young, I will forgive you. "

Pei Sheng asked, "Are you really admiring me from a young age?"

Dan Qing Han nodded his head: "Of course, the first time I heard about you from my father, I had treated you as a target. I wished that I could also be like you and go to war to protect my home and my country."

Pei Sheng's gaze fell deeply on her face, a soft and barely noticeable glint appearing in his eyes.

Ling Xuan Su looked down the hill, the two people in the swamp were still chatting cheerfully, as though they were afraid of death. He turned around and said coldly: "Light it up."

Death Soldier walked towards the fuse after he received the order.

Ling Xuan Su's departure became slower and slower, and in his mind, he remembered the bloody Dan Qing Han from before in the Lu Fu. At that time, he had wanted to let go of all of the responsibilities he had to protect her, but now, he wanted to personally destroy this person who he had to protect at all costs?

Qing Han, no matter what our future political positions are, I hope that we can still be friends.

— Well, I wish we were friends forever.

"Stop!" Ling Xuan Su suddenly roared at the Death Soldier who was about to ignite the gunpowder.

Death Soldier stopped in time and looked at Ling Xuan Su who had suddenly changed his words. Puzzled, he only heard him speak again: "Let them go."

For the last time, this would be the last time.
