Xie Lin, who was behind the desk, slowly raised his head to look at her. After a long silence, he said, "What if I don't agree?"

Chu Heyi's expression did not change at all: "A dead Crown Princess and a living female Marshal, Your Highness the Crown Prince can choose for himself."

Xie Lin stood up slowly, his eyes seemed to be dancing with angry flames. He walked in front of Chu Heyi and stared at her face: "Are you threatening me with your life again?"

Chu Heyi didn't say anything, but just raised his chin slightly, with no intention of bowing his head to compromise.

Xie Lin said: "You can blame me for your father's death, you can hate me... You can even hit me, you can stab me with a sword and kill me, but you can't threaten me with your life again and again.

"I compromised last time I went to the North. Do you want me to compromise a second time now? You are just relying on the fact that I have you in my heart."

Chu Heyi still had the same expression and remained silent. Xie Lin knew that his words had no effect on her at all.

He opened the door of the study and took the sword from the guard at the door. He closed the door and walked back, put the sword in Chu Heyi's hand, then held her hand and pointed the sword at his heart.

"You want to go to Yizhou City? Come, kill me first. Then you can go."

Chu Heyi looked at him with eyes as white as snow, and said in a mocking tone: "Yizhou City has been lost, Ding Sheng and Qin Yi are struggling to hold on, and all forces cannot move. Now, can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince find someone more suitable than me?"

Xie Lin said: "There are always new people to recruit. If all else fails, there is still Uncle Ling."

"You're quite right..." Chu Heyi seemed to be persuaded. The coldness in her eyes and the sneer on her face disappeared temporarily. She slowly retracted her sword and no longer pressed it against Xie Lin.

Xie Lin said softly: "Don't be impatient about war. Once you are impatient, something bad will happen and you will just lose your life in vain. Trust me, let me take a long-term view..."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Heyi raised a sharp sword flower. When Xie Lin looked closely, Chu Heyi had already put the sword against her neck, exactly the same as the last time when she broke up with Concubine Zhen and wanted to leave the palace.

Exactly the same!

Xie Lin's eyes instantly turned red. "Chu Heyi, as long as you step out of Shengjing City, I will favor Tong Xiling and Li Chaoyun. Why don't you give it a try!"

He rarely speaks without thinking like this, and if he does, it is only after careful consideration.

But now, he really spoke without thinking. At this moment, he felt pain and anger in his heart, but also extremely powerless.

"Dongfang Shuo, Runxue and I have an irreconcilable feud. I must go to Yizhou City." Chu Heyi said, "If I die, the journey is long and you don't have to bring my body back; if I die, you don't have to look for my body.

"No matter what the result is, I hope you can build a tomb for me in Shengjing City and call my soul back. I hope that even after I die, I can be closer to you and your family. You can have other women around you, but when you come to worship me, don't bring them with you. Just come alone."

Chu Heyi spoke calmly, and it was obvious that she had made up her mind and no one could change her decision.

She continued, "Of course, if you don't want me to die and want me to win the battle, then don't stop me, support me, give me troops, and always stand behind me to give me strength."

Xie Lin stood opposite her without saying anything. It seemed like a very long time had passed, but it also seemed like not long had passed. Xie Lin finally said, "Does it have to be like this?"

His voice was hoarse.

Chu Heyi said: "It must be done this way. I will personally kill Dongfang Shuo and Runxue with my sword. I want the people of Daqi to see that they follow you and me, and no matter how bad the situation is, they will not be abandoned by us."

She wants to take revenge, she wants to protect the country she and Xie Lin share, and she wants to use her own blood and flesh to protect the people of Daqi.

My father died, but his spirit is not dead, and the spirit of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion will live forever.

She is the daughter of a military family, born that way and still is!

"Xie Lin, protecting the people of Daqi is what we should do, and as the Crown Princess, it is our responsibility to do so." Chu Heyi's voice became lower, but it was deafening to Xie Lin's ears.

His eyes were red, and he slowly opened his arms and walked towards Chu Heyi. He had already accepted his fate and said, "Then let's hug each other before you go to the battle."

The sword in Chu Heyi's hand fell to the ground, and Xie Lin hugged her in his arms.

Xie Lin assembled an army of 100,000 and followed Chu Heyi into battle. They set out that night, carrying the God-killing Crossbow that had been improved by Zheng Yizhao.

Chu Ren also went with Chu Heyi to the battle, and he served as a military advisor. In addition, there were two vanguards, Hu Quan and Yang Qi, who had performed very well in the army, and now it was time to push them out to "test their abilities".

The Zheng family has long been extinct. Zheng Yizhao was able to survive because he was sent to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion in his early years. He lived a life in the Duke's Mansion where he was well fed and clothed and only needed to study weapons.

Many people had forgotten about him until he took out the God-killing Crossbow. Then they remembered him again - the grandson of the once powerful and unlearned prime minister.

With the God-killing Crossbow that can restrain the enemy's divine crossbow, everyone looks at Zheng Yizhao with admiration.

When Chu Heyi went on the expedition this time, Zheng Yizhao actually took the initiative to ask to go with Chu Heyi, and Chu Heyi agreed.

Now they are on their way to Yizhou.

Ding Sheng and Qin Yi have been trapped in Qingfeng County for seven days. As of today, they have run out of food and can only survive for two days at most.

Dongfang Shuo's army had already reached the outside of the city. They surrounded the entire Qingfeng County and left no exit.

After several rounds of fighting, all the weapons of Qingfeng County were used up. The two sides fought fiercely, but Dongfang Shuo suddenly stopped attacking and set up camp outside the city, playing cat and mouse with Qin Yi and others.

"Qingfeng County is so small, they can't run away, and they don't have enough food. Why should we rush to attack? If we kill them slowly, we can save the lives and weapons of our soldiers. Why not do it?" Dongfang Shuo said.

At this time, they sat in the night, eating meat and drinking wine, and were very happy.

The aroma of wine and meat, as well as their laughter, spread over the city wall into the county seat of Qingfeng County. The soldiers and civilians, who had been hungry for a long time, could not help swallowing their saliva.

When will these days of despair end?

They have been holding out for almost ten days, why haven't the reinforcements from Shengjing City arrived yet?

Were the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess also afraid of the divine crossbow in King Cheng's hands? Did they know the tragic situation in Yizhou City but dare not send anyone to come?

"What? The Crown Princess is leading the army personally?" The news had already spread before Chu Heyi's army arrived, and everyone was shocked.
