The assassin's princess is actually my aunt

Chapter 221 Leng Xinmo's Promise, Compensation

"The princess is deeply in love with you..."

Qian Wushang suddenly recalled what Tian Er had just said.

His brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of smugness flashed in his eyes.

But soon he regained his firmness and gentleness.

He looked at Leng Xinmo intently, and promised solemnly in an extremely serious tone:

"Mo'er, you are the only Princess Sheng in my heart!

There will never be another woman except you!"

"But what will be His Majesty's will when the time comes?"

Leng Xinmo stared at Qian Wushang's eyes closely.

As if trying to see through those deep, eagle-like, sharp eyes and see through his true thoughts deep in his heart.

“Whether it’s the will of the emperor or the arrangement of heaven.

I, Qian Wushang, only want you, Leng Xinmo, in this life!"

Qian Wushang's voice was sonorous and powerful, and his eyes were firm and honest.

Unreservedly, he showed it to Leng Xinmo, allowing her to look at it and examine it.

Does unwavering emotion really exist in this world?

Leng Xinmo thought to herself that she didn't have much confidence in the so-called true love.

In particular, people born in imperial families are often more heartless and disloyal!

Recalling the words that Emperor Qianyao said intentionally or unintentionally that day in Yaohua Palace.

It still makes her angry.

However, even to this day, she still cannot be sure whether Qian Wushang is sincere.

Or perhaps, how long can Qian Wushang's sincerity at this moment last?

These questions kept coming to Leng Xinmo's mind, making him feel more and more lost and perplexed.

Even she herself couldn't know exactly what kind of feelings she had towards Qian Wushang.

However, the only thing she was sure of was this.

If Qian Wushang really married Princess Liuyang, or any other woman.

Then she would definitely use all her strength to massacre Prince Sheng's Mansion with blood!

Leng Xinmo, who has experienced two lives, has never fallen in love with any man.

Once, the man repeatedly warned them...

Killers are always required to be ruthless and loveless.

Because emotions are their biggest weakness when performing their tasks.

However, at this moment, she was determined to challenge this taboo.

She wanted to see what the consequences would be if she disobeyed the imperial decree and went against the will of heaven!

"Qian Wushang, listen to me, if you dare to break your promise!

Don't blame me for being ruthless, I will make sure you and everyone around you die miserably!"

Leng Xinmo's beautiful eyes opened wide, and the murderous intent in her eyes surged like a tide.

Qian Wushang smiled slightly, hugged Leng Xinmo tightly into his arms without fear, and whispered softly:

"Mo'er, don't worry, I swear to heaven that I will never let you down in this life.

If I break my oath, I will be struck by lightning and despised by everyone! "

Hearing this, Leng Xinmo's mouth corners slightly raised, and he leaned against Qian Wushang's broad and solid chest.

At this moment, Qian Wushang suddenly remembered the question he had asked Leng Xinmo before.

The other party seems to have not given a clear answer yet.

He couldn't help feeling a little unhappy, so he mischievously bit Leng Xinmo's pink earlobe.

"what......"

Leng Xinmo exclaimed coquettishly, "Qian Wushang! Why do you always bite people?"

Qian Wushang snorted: "You haven't answered me yet, so you won't disappear."

Qian Wushang had no intention of asking her where she came from.

At this moment, what he wanted to confirm most was whether the person in his arms would disappear out of thin air again!

After understanding Qian Wushang's inner worries, Leng Xinmo slowly blinked his eyes.

Then he stretched out his hands and wrapped them around Qian Wushang's strong and sturdy waist.

"Qian Wushang, some things need to wait for the right time, then I will tell you everything.

Because there are too many things that even I myself have not yet fully figured out.

At the moment, I can only assure you that I...will never leave on my own initiative!"

Hearing this, Qian Wushang felt flustered and involuntarily tightened his arms around Leng Xinmo.

It seems that by doing this, he can hold the person in his arms tightly.

After a long time, Qian Wushang responded softly: "Okay!"

......

"Qian Wushang, how should we deal with the Second Prince of Xiqi?"

Leng Xinmo asked.

"Send it back!" Qian Wushang's voice was cold.

"Send it back?" Leng Xinmo couldn't help but frowned.

"I'm sorry, Mo'er. There are 400,000 troops outside the Lianlu Pass, and there are only more than 100,000 soldiers in the Western Territory now.

If Xia Jinyi was really killed and the people of Xiqi were angered, the 400,000-strong army would probably launch a crazy attack on the city in revenge.

By then, even if all the soldiers in the western border were mobilized, they might not be able to drive the Xiqi people out.

By then, the people of Xiqi will retaliate frantically and kill people at will.

I am afraid that innocent people in the western region will be massacred as a result."

The violent look in Qian Wushang's eyes was fleeting, but the fierceness in it was still heart-wrenching.

Whenever I think of it, Xia Jinyi's eyes were filled with madness and desire when he looked at Mo'er.

Qian Wushang wished he could dig out his eyes immediately!

When looking at Mo'er, his arm had just been bandaged.

Qian Wushang even felt that it was too easy for Xia Jinyi to just cripple one of his hands.

Leng Xinmo noticed the apology in Qian Wushang's words.

She didn't care and comforted him:

"It doesn't matter. Since we were able to catch him once, we can certainly catch him a second time!"

In the following days, Leng Xinmo did not take any other action except visiting Gu Jingxuan.

Leng Xinmo told him that Qi Siyuan would soon arrive at Lianlu Pass and would enter the pass in the near future.

However, when she noticed that Gu Jingxuan had no expression except surprise and confusion.

Leng Xinmo knew clearly in his heart that Qi Siyuan would probably return disappointed this time.

Qian Wushang is no longer there, so Leng Xinmo goes to the battlefield in person.

The enemy troops outside Lianlu Pass became cautious because of Xia Jinyi's arrest.

Although there were still several confrontations between the two sides, they were all very brief.

After all, now that Qian Wushang has regained consciousness and is in charge personally, the war situation is temporarily under control.

Qianyao's soldiers were in high spirits. Although they were short in manpower, they still won overwhelming victories several times.

After a long wait, half a month later, the edict from the Emperor of Xiqi finally arrived at Lianlu Pass.

This decree brought about an important decision:

The remaining 300,000 troops of Xiqi will retreat back to their country and return to the territory of Xiqi.

This action was in exchange for Qian Wushang releasing Xiqi's second prince Xia Jinyi.

In addition, there is the archer Mo Lai, and Xia Jinyi's guards... Canyang and Banyue.

However, Qian Wushang did not, and simply nodded in agreement.

He also made a series of demands to the Emperor of Xiqi.

These demands included compensation for the losses suffered during the defense of the western border against foreign enemies.

Specifically, Qian Wushang asked the Emperor of Xiqi to pay pensions to the soldiers who died in battle.

Compensation for injured soldiers, compensation for dead and injured horses, and ransom for Xia Jinyi and other personnel.

All these expenses added up to a total of 100,000 dan of grain and 10 million taels of silver.

When this news reached the Emperor of Xiqi.

It is said that he was so angry that he lost his temper in the court and not only denounced Qian Wushang.

Even Xia Jinyi was scolded!
