Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

Although his heart was in turmoil, he remained calm on the surface.

The masked man seemed to notice Xiao Zhan's gaze. He looked back and nodded slightly in greeting, then sat down with the woman in red, and the two behaved intimately.

Judging from the fact that the woman in red is walking first, her status is obviously higher than that of the man.

Considering the traditions of Western Xia and the identity of the emperor's only daughter, Princess Wuyou, Xiao Zhan guessed that the woman in red was her.

He turned to Yelu Jun and asked, "Fourth Prince, was it Princess Wuyou and her husband who just came in?"

Yelu Jun confirmed, "It is Minzhen and her husband. Lord Xiao, are you curious why the husband always wears a mask?"

"I am indeed curious, but I also understand that too much curiosity may not be a good thing." Xiao Zhan replied.

"Well said."

Yelu Jun agreed: "It is not wise to be too curious, so I never thought of asking you why you came to Xixia."

Xiao Zhan recalled: "When I first arrived at the border of Western Xia, the Third Prince almost forced me to death, wanting to find out my purpose. And the Fourth Prince obviously has a very different personality from his brother."

Yelu Jun smiled slightly and responded to Xiao Zhan's comment: "Everyone values ​​different things, so their personalities are naturally different."

Xiao Zhan then asked, "Then what do you value, Fourth Prince?"

"Didn't Lord Xiao just say that excessive curiosity is not a good thing?" Yelu Jun joked.

"I just asked casually and didn't expect an answer." Xiao Zhan explained.

While the two were talking, a notification came from outside: "The Emperor has arrived."

At the same time, Fu Dong took the list Jiang Xue gave her, and said with a puzzled look on her face: "Princess, these are the materials for making kites. Did you make a mistake?"

"That's right, Fudong, I want to make a kite, a big kite that can carry people." Jiang Xue said.

Fu Dong asked in confusion: "Why do you want to make a kite?"

"We need to use the wind to fly into the territory of Western Xia." Jiang Xue replied.

Fu Dong still didn't understand: "Borrowing the wind? How is this possible?"

"Indeed."

Jiang Xue explained: "There are steep mountains on both sides of the Xixia border, and they enjoy themselves by relying on these natural barriers.

But this also means that their high-altitude defenses are relatively lax. Since we can't sneak into the city underwater, why not consider landing from the sky?"

Hearing this, Fu Dong suddenly realized: "So, Your Highness wants to use kites and wind power to cross the mountain and enter the city?"

"exactly."

Jiang Xue nodded: "Although this plan is full of risks, which action plan is not like this? Why don't we give it a try."

Thinking that Xiao Zhan had been deep in Xixia for eight days, Jiang Xue's heart was filled with worry.

"I will immediately arrange manpower to ensure that the sturdiest kite is made as quickly as possible." Fu Dong said after receiving the order.

"Thank you for your hard work." Jiang Xue replied.

Jiang Xue slowly opened her eyes and found herself in the center of a devastated battlefield.

It was quiet all around, with only the sound of the wind and the smell of blood telling of the fierce battle that had taken place not long ago.

She clenched the bloody sword tightly, a chill surged in her heart, and she wanted to escape from this suffocating place.

Suddenly, the silence was broken by the rapid sound of horse hooves, approaching like thunder.

She looked up and saw Yelu Jun leading a group of cavalrymen galloping towards her, and they stopped not far away.

Their eyes met, and Yelu Jun curled up a strange smile.

"Miss Changle, long time no see." He said frivolously.

Jiang Xue's heart was as calm as water: "Yeah, I didn't expect to meet again so soon."

"This time I brought you a special gift." There was a hint of provocation in Yelu Jun's voice.

"What gift?" Her voice was still calm.

Yelu Jun clapped his hands, and the soldiers came forward, escorting a man.

That was Xiao Zhan, his white clothes were stained with blood, which looked particularly glaring.

“Yun Che…” Jiang Xue’s heart suddenly tightened.

Despite being covered in wounds, Xiao Zhan gave a comforting smile: "Xiaoxue, don't worry, I'm fine."

Jiang Xue understood that Yelu Jun's hatred would not let him let anyone go easily. Xiao Zhan's strength was just to make her feel a little more at ease.

"You know what, ***? I thought a woman like you was heartless and ungrateful, but who would have thought that you also have someone you care about. Today, I want to play a game." Yelu Jun's eyes turned cold.

"What do you want?" Jiang Xue asked.

"I want to make you feel the pain of losing someone you love."

Yelu Jun's voice was filled with a desire for revenge.

"Because you killed my wife and children, and also made me lose the chance to be king. Today, I want you to witness the same tragedy happen to you."

Before he finished speaking, Yelu Jun swung his sword, and Xiao Zhan's body trembled.

Jiang Xue felt as if her world collapsed at this moment.

Xiao Zhan clenched his teeth, enduring the severe pain, cold sweat rolling down his forehead like rain.

He didn't utter a groan, but his painful expression was unbearable to look at.

“Yun Che!” Jiang Xue called out anxiously, trying to rush towards him, but was restrained by an invisible force and could not move.

She could only watch Yelu Jun raise the sharp blade again and again, anxious but powerless.

"Is your heart broken?"

Yelu Jun said coldly: "This is the punishment you deserve. Do you know?

A person can be cut into more than 3,000 pieces of flesh with great precision before he dies. I will make your life worse than death, so as to calm the anger in my heart."

“Yun Che, Yun Che…” Jiang Xue woke up in shock, sweat all over her body, her heart beating faster.

She realized that everything that had just happened was just a nightmare, but the scene was so realistic that it still hurt her heart.

After a while, she regained her composure, got up, changed into clean clothes, and quickly walked out of the room.

She thought that she couldn't let anything happen to Xiao Zhan and they had to rush to the capital of Western Xia as soon as possible, so she urged Fu Dong to speed up the kite-making process.

Xiao Zhan glanced at the Xixia Emperor Yelu Shengkang who was sitting in the main seat and found that he had aged and his eyes no longer had the sharpness of the former monarchs. His four sons each had their own ulterior motives, foreshadowing the turbulent future of Xixia.

"No matter what the purpose of Lord Xiao's visit is, since you are here, you are a guest. Let's put aside state affairs tonight and enjoy ourselves." Yelu Shengkang said.

Xiao Zhan responded respectfully: "Thank you for your hospitality, Your Majesty."

Late at night, Jiang Xue appeared in front of Fu Dong, which surprised him.

"Your Highness, why are you still here so late?" he asked.

"I can't sleep, so I came to see how your work is going. Fudong, can the kites be ready tomorrow?"

"General Lan Feng has found many skilled craftsmen for us. They are working overnight and will be finished by tomorrow morning. Please rest assured, Princess."

"Great."

Jiang Xue said: "As soon as the kite is finished, we will set out immediately and enter Xixia City tomorrow night."
