Forced to die for his loyalty, he was reborn in the arms of the cold and cruel regent!

Obviously these people won't care about her.

She was placed on the horse and could only see the endless green grass below. Her internal organs were almost shaken out.

At this moment, the sound of an arrow suddenly came from the silent night sky!

"Xu."

The horse stopped instantly.

Shen Mengyao raised her head with difficulty, and saw a bright light on the high slope in front of her.

Several horses lined up majestically on the hillside, looking down at everything from above.

"You have nowhere to escape."

Bei Lan's voice came from the hillside, carrying a lot of coldness.

Did Qi Suian come with his men?

My hands and feet were numb from the cold, and my vision was blurry. I could only see that bright light, which seemed to bring hope.

The leader put the whip on his waist and said, "I knew it wouldn't be that easy. It seems that I really underestimated this princess who lived a life of luxury in the capital."

Just then, the horses in front retreated to both sides and a carriage drove over.

The curtain of the carriage was opened, and a weak young man with a face as pale as jade got out of the carriage, but his bright eyes scanned everything.

Qi Sui'an coughed a few times, and after calming down, he said, "I am not sending troops to wipe you out. On the contrary, I can make a deal with you."

The leader laughed.

"Transaction? Can you still let us take the princess away from the capital?"

"Of course not. The deal I'm talking about is other than this." Qi Suian clapped his hands after he finished speaking.

Then, his men brought out dozens of men in black who were tied together with hemp ropes.

They fell to their knees with a thud, shame written all over their faces. It was their fault that they did not die on the spot but instead became the enemy's negotiating capital.

The leader's eyes were bloodshot and he looked heartbroken.

"Although I don't want them to die, sacrificing a few people for the greater cause is nothing. They must also hope that I can take the people away."

The high-profile event made those people want to commit suicide on the spot, but they could not move and could only watch others take their lives for something.

Qi Sui'an sneered, his eyes narrowed slightly: "If you don't exchange, you can't even run away from here. I am giving you the best solution. Princess, you can't take it away."

"I'd like to try what it feels like to take someone away from the powerful regent." The leader narrowed his eyes and sneered, then put the knife directly to Shen Mengyao's neck.

The delicate skin was lightly scratched by the knife, leaving a blood mark.

The leader raised his head and sneered: "You came after her, you must care about her very much, let us go, or let her die in front of you."

Qi Sui'an didn't expect the other party to know his identity so quickly.

He laughed lightly, his voice calm but firm: "Yes, I care about the woman in your hands."

The chief looked as if he had won a prize.

"It seems that... the princess is being held hostage and is under the command of more than one person!"

Qi Suian understood their plan and shook his head with a sneer.

"Your plan will not succeed. I will not watch this happen, and I will not let you take the princess away."

"So do you want to see her die in front of you? Didn't you say you cared about her? Is this how you care about her?"

The man above his head said this viciously while grabbing Shen Mengyao's hair and forcing her to look up.

In the candlelight, Shen Mengyao looked pale with a trace of blood on her face. Perhaps because of the pain, her eyes were filled with tears, making her look pitiful.

At that moment, Qi Suian felt as if his heart was torn apart and was in terribly pain.

He couldn't ignore her suffering, but he couldn't compromise at this time.

A leisurely smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It's true that I care about her a lot. I also know your identities. I know exactly what your intentions are in taking her to Beimo!"

"Okay, the Regent is indeed a man of foresight. Since you already know our intentions, we won't pretend anymore. We will definitely get the person out of the pass, otherwise we will be doomed to fail!"

He looked at Qi Suian with cold eyes. Even though he was at the end of his rope, he refused to give in. He put the knife on Shen Mengyao's neck, pressing deeper.

"Really? If you don't care, then I will kill her. We can't take her away, and we will never let her live. Only by taking her away can she have a chance to live."

"Then your plan will never succeed." Qi Sui'an was so excited that he coughed heavily several times.

After calming down, he looked calm and smiled faintly.

“Although I believe that the Duke will not be threatened by you, it is risky for the princess to leave the capital. It is inevitable that people will become sentimental as they age. Although I care about her very much, I cannot let you take her away.

If you take her away, even if there is a one in ten thousand chance, there will be chaos in the Northern Desert and the people living on the border will be slaughtered. As a subject of the Great Qi, I will never watch this happen.

Shen Mengyao can only stay in the capital. If she dies, I will take her head to apologize to the Duke and the Emperor."

It is both an apology and a sacrifice for love.

He didn't dare to look into Shen Mengyao's eyes, straightened his expression, and continued: "But if you let the princess go, there is still a possibility for us to cooperate."

The leader obviously didn't believe it, and his voice was trembling.

"You're lying to me! Then give it a try."

The knife pierced into her flesh, and the pain made Shen Mengyao sober up a lot.

After finally having a new life, how could she just die now that she was facing a crisis? She had to save herself.

"Don't bother. If you let me go, I can help you write a letter to my father and brother."

"Shut up, you have no right to speak here." The leader warned her fiercely.

Neither side acted rashly. They were both playing a game of chess, and the key to the game lay in Shen Mengyao.

At this time, no one is willing to take a step back, because life and death depend on this step.

When the atmosphere was at a stalemate, there was a sound of horse hooves suddenly heard not far away, and a figure rode over. Luo Chuan got off the horse, panting, and stood in the middle of the confrontation between the two armies.

"Stop it, Dele!"

The leader was none other than Dele, who looked at Luochuan with an evasive look.

"Young Master, this is our only chance. As for friendship, if we capture him and let Duke Shen lead the army to help, we will have a chance to return to the Northern Desert and gain a firm foothold."

"The group leader is my benefactor. I can't use her like this. On the grassland, every spit is worth a nail. If you treat your benefactor like this, you will be hanged!"

"Then let Dele hang himself." Dele was determined to do what he wanted, and threatened Shen Mengyao with a knife: "The princess must go with us."

Luo Chuan suddenly pulled out a dagger from his waist, unsheathed it, and held it across his neck, his eyes unusually determined.

"You can't take her away, but if you want to kill her, I will die with her."
