The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

The people who had ambushed on both sides in advance had already been informed that once Ye Buhuo's carriage entered the middle of the valley, they would push the big rocks down from above. By that time, the Northern Country's troops would have passed the halfway point and would not threaten the safety of Bei Su and others.

Bei Su was leisurely riding his horse in front to lead the way, with a smile of victory on his face. He had no choice.

Suddenly there was a tremor and waves of wailing were heard from the team behind Bei Su.

Big rocks kept falling from above. Bei Su's smile froze and he hurriedly pulled the reins to avoid them.

"what happened?"

Bei Su asked loudly to Meng Shi who was hiding with him. Meng Shi didn't know what happened and could only answer:

"I will send someone to the mountain to check it out!"

Meng Shi grabbed a guard nearby and shouted, "Go and see what those good-for-nothings on the mountain are doing! Do they want to die? How dare they push rocks to hit the Fourth Prince!"

Feeling the waves of anger coming from the embarrassed Bei Su, the guards responded and prepared to go around the mountain from a small path.

As a result, the guard had not taken a few steps when he was shot through by a feather arrow shot down from the mountain and fell to the ground.

First, huge rocks fell, blocking the roads in front and behind. Then, a dense rain of arrows came down. The guards of the Northern Kingdom had nowhere to hide in the narrow valley of Wanxia Pass, and soon there were only a few left.

Bei Su was also dodging in a panic, and Meng Shi, who was standing next to him, was hit by several arrows and was already dying.

Bei Su was covered in dust from the huge rocks, and his clothes and face no longer had the shine and brightness they once had.

The rain of arrows stopped, and Bei Su, who had just taken a breath, saw Ye Buhuo riding on a warhorse, staring at him coldly at the entrance of Wanxia Pass.

Ye Buhuo's team was unscathed, and it was obvious that they had already retreated to the outside of the valley to the territory of the Ye Kingdom.

Bei Su immediately realized that he had fallen into a trap. The people on both sides of the valley had been dealt with by Ye Buhuo's men long ago, and he was now a trapped turtle in Ye Buhuo's jar.

Bei Su shouted loudly:

"Ye Buhuo! Don't you want to save the princess?"

Ye Buhuo raised his eyebrows slightly and replied, "I will not trouble the Northern Prince to worry about my princess."

Bei Su gritted his teeth, not understanding where the problem was. At this moment, the enemy was outnumbered, and he could only fight for a glimmer of hope for himself, so he said fiercely:

"What's the point of using your numbers to bully the few? Do you dare to fight me?"

"If I win, you have to let me go!"

Ye Buhuo gently rubbed the sword at his waist which had not seen blood for a long time and followed his wish.

There were too many huge rocks in the valley, so Ye Buhuo sent people to clear them for a while before they could create a clearing.

The two men were riding on horses, standing opposite each other.

Bei Su took the first step and the sword energy went straight to Ye Buhuo's face. He did not dodge, but drew out his sword with his backhand and lightly knocked Bei Su's sword aside.

Bei Su quickly adjusted his crooked body and attacked again. This time he gave up attacking Ye Buhuo directly, and leaned over to stab the warhorse under him. Ye Buhuo pulled the reins and the warhorse immediately raised its front hooves to avoid the attack.

As he fell back, Ye Buhuo took advantage of the situation and kicked Bei Su on the body that was still crouching, knocking him to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Bei Su stood up with the support of his sword, then quickly returned to his horse and continued to attack Ye Buhuo.

After several rounds of fighting, Bei Su's sword was finally knocked to the ground by Ye Buhuo with a clang. Before he could react, the tip of Ye Buhuo's sword was less than an inch away from Bei Su's neck.

Bei Su lowered his eyes, looked at the sword in front of him, smiled bitterly and said: "I thought this would be your burial place, but I didn't expect it to be mine."

Bei Su used the back of his hand to brush away Ye Buhuo's sword, then turned over and dismounted, saying, "This prince is not as skilled as others, so I won't bother His Majesty to do it himself."

Picking up the sword, Bei Su twisted it neatly around his neck. Blood slowly seeped out of the corners of his mouth, but he still smiled and said, "Tell the princess that this prince committed suicide, and was not defeated by you."

Ye Buhuo gave him a cold look, turned around and rode his horse back to Ye Kingdom.

In Wanxia Pass, all traces left by the Black Iron Army were completely wiped out.

Before this, when Ye Er led his men up the mountain to clean up the men that Meng Shi had ambushed in advance, he left a few people alive and took them back with him. They happened to be the bandits who often roamed around. In this way, even if the Northern Kingdom investigated, they would not be able to put the blame on Ye Buhuo.

The remaining poison had just been cleaned up from Hua Wu Ke, and she was very sleepy. Ye Buhuo had just visited her once after returning from Wanxia Pass, and seeing that she was still sleeping soundly, he quietly left the room again.

When Hua Wu Ke woke up, she found that Ye Bu Huo was not there. She was stunned for a while and called out softly:

"Qingzhu, where is Ye Buhuo?"

Qingzhu walked over quickly and helped Hua Wuke up, saying:

"The prince came just now, and when he saw you were still asleep, he left again."

Hua Wu Ke took the handkerchief that Qing Mei had wrung out, washed himself, and then got out of bed.

"Do you know where he went?"

Qingzhu thought for a moment and replied, "He should have gone west with Ye Yi."

The west that Qingzhu was referring to was the west of the yard. After Hua Wu Ke tidied up, he also went west.

"I'm just walking around in this yard, so don't follow me."

The yard was full of guards arranged by Ye Buhuo, so it was very safe, so Qingmei and Qingzhu did not follow.

Not long after walking, Hua Wu Ke arrived at the rockery in the west. There was a lake not far away with a pavilion in the lake. Ye Buhuo and Ye Yi were standing side by side in the pavilion, and it was unknown what they were talking about.

Although he was getting closer, Hua Wu Ke didn't want to disturb the two of them. He just wanted to find a shady place to sit for a while and wait.

Danhua Wuke seemed to have forgotten that she had profound internal strength and extraordinary hearing, so when she stood in the downwind direction, she heard the wind carrying Ye Buhuo's voice towards her.

"Yeyi, have you ever blamed Sui Sui for this?"

Hua Wu Ke: Blame me? Why do you blame me?

Ye Yi answered calmly: "Although I do not agree with the prince's decision to go to the Northern Kingdom to save the princess even though he knew it would cost him his life, I know the love between the prince and the princess, and I have always regarded the princess as my master. I will never harbor any resentment towards the princess!"

Ye Buhuo felt relieved, because he knew how loyal Ye Yi was to him, and he was afraid that Ye Yi would resent Hua Wuke for putting him in danger because she was too loyal to him.

"That's great, Ye Yi, you're not a child anymore. When we get back to the palace, I'll ask Sui Sui to find a marriage for you."

As soon as Ye Buhuo said this, Ye Yi thought of Qingzhu, who was always a little dazed no matter whether he was in the palace or in the Duke Dingguo's mansion. Although he was dazed, he inexplicably attracted his attention.

Ye Yi's ears turned red and he didn't say anything.

"Good? What's good about that? Ye Buhuo, explain to me clearly, what does it mean to go to the North Country knowing that you will die?"
