Fire is hot, sword is cold.

"Besides surrender, do I have any other choice?" Runxue sneered.

"But please let me say goodbye to the people around me before I surrender! Anyway, I can't run away, you won't even give me this little chance, right?"

Wen Tingshen and Chu Heyi clenched their swords tightly and did not move for a while.

Runxue withdrew her gaze, looked around, and finally fixed her eyes on Duan Feichi, who had been standing beside her and also looked at her.

He couldn't tell what emotion he was feeling at the moment. It seemed like there were many emotions, but also like there were nothing at all.

He only knew that this ambush circle was the final battle and the place where the situation would be completely reversed, but this ambush circle had long been broken by Wen Tingshen and Wangshan.

Chu Heyi must know.

They said they led Chu Heyi into the ambush, but now it seems that it was actually Chu Heyi who had been urging them to enter the ambush.

Runxue raised her hands and stroked Duan Feichi's face, her eyes sad and affectionate: "I'm sorry, Brother Duan, I dragged you into the bottomless abyss."

Duan Feichi held her hand and became sad, but he couldn't help asking: "Do we really have no way out?"

Runxue: "Yes, Yizhou City was originally theirs, and they took away our last bargaining chip. With powerful enemies in front and pursuers behind, we really have no way to survive."

Duan Feichi held her hand very tightly.

Runxue said, "Before I was fifteen, I lived in Anyuan Marquis's Mansion. Even though my father and brother were in the northern border all year round, my aunt treated me like her own child. I lived a life of luxury there, with everyone praising me. But then the Crown Princess came back, and I realized that I was not of the Chu family's bloodline...

"I know that I am disliked by others, so I hold on to His Royal Highness Cheng Wang tightly. I regard him as my greatest supporter. After all, he and I grew up together and we have been inseparable. I once had a child for him, but I lost it on the way to escape from Yanzhou City."

What did Duan Feichi hear these words?

She was once a little girl who was the center of attention, but because of Chu Heyi's arrival, her status plummeted and she felt as if she was thrown into hell. She had no choice but to cling to His Royal Highness King Cheng as her life-saving straw.

However, His Royal Highness King Cheng was willing to sacrifice the fetus in her womb for the sake of power and never showed any mercy to her. She had a very unfortunate life and was extremely pitiful.

This is what Duan Feichi heard, so he suddenly hugged Runxue into his arms: "Xue'er, I understand your pain. No matter what, I will not let go of your hand!"

Runxue took his hand and placed it on her abdomen. With tears in her eyes, she looked at Duan Feichi with a smile:

"Brother Duan, although the time I spent with you was short, it was the happiest time of my life... A little life has been nurtured here. I was planning to tell you after I won, but now, I'm afraid that if I don't tell you, I will never have the chance to tell you again in this life."

Runxue's tears fell softly, looking pitiful and sincere: "He is the continuation of our lives, and a little surprise in my gloomy life. I really want to bring him into this world to see the majestic mountains and rivers and the vast grasslands, but now, there is no chance."

She wiped her tears, like a fragile young wife pretending to be strong: "But it doesn't matter, as long as he comes, it's the best outcome for you and me, don't you think?"

Duan Feichi's pupils shrank drastically. He touched her abdomen in disbelief, and his voice was trembling. "Really? Are you telling the truth? Did our child really come to see us?"

He was so overjoyed that he wanted to pick up Runxue and spin around in circles to let everyone know his happiness.

But he didn't dare, for fear that too big a movement would hurt the fetus in Runxue's belly.

Runxue nodded with tears in her eyes: "It's true, but it's a pity that we have no chance to meet him..."

Duan Feichi said: "I am willing to surrender and beg them to let you and the child go. The child is innocent! Didn't Chu Heyi and Wen Tingshen get rid of us in the name of benevolence and righteousness? In this case, they should let you go and let our child be born. If they are unwilling, I will kneel down and beg them..."

Duan Feichi was about to kneel down, but Runxue stopped him in time: "Do you see the bodies all over the ground? Do you see the fire still spreading halfway up the mountain? Do you remember the people who died on the battlefield?

"Brother Duan, too many people have died. Even if they are truly kind and let me give birth to the child, they will not let me go. Once the child is born, they will cut me into pieces. How can a child without parents survive? He will suffer all the pain in the world, and this is the best outcome.

"The worst outcome is that if we surrender and you are willing to die, they will not let me give birth to the child."

Runxue looked at him firmly, her eyes bright as snow, and she said, "Brother Duan, stop struggling. I am willing to die with you. Let's go to the underworld together as a family of three."

Chu Heyi and Wen Tingshen were far away from each other, the conversation between Runxue and Duan Feichi was in a low voice, and there was also the crackling sound of a burning fire in the distance. Therefore, Wen Tingshen, Chu Heyi and the others only saw the scene of Runxue and Duan Feichi bidding farewell to each other, and could not hear what they said.

After Runxue finished speaking, she let go of Duan Feichi's hand and prepared to die.

However, Duan Feichi suddenly grabbed her hand and held it tightly, his eyes bloodshot, and Runxue suddenly looked at him.

Duan Feichi said, "Xue'er, I won't let you and the child die in their hands like this. I will take you and fight them out! Even if it costs me my life, I will escort you and your child to a safe place. From now on... you will hide your identities and live a good life! When the child grows up, no matter if it's a boy or a girl, remember to tell the child that I love you and I love him too!"

Runxue was shocked and held his hand with all her strength: "No, Brother Duan, our family must die together and no one can abandon the other!"

Duan Feichi, however, had already protected her behind him, and summoned Shuangjiang, Guyu and several capable soldiers to protect Runxue.

Duan Feichi shouted, "We will never surrender. If you want to kill me, just come and kill me. As long as you can't kill me, I will fight to the end!"

For him, for Runxue, and for their children!

If the general and Princess Cheng do not surrender, then many loyal people will choose to fight with them to the end.

Before Duan Feichi finished his words, he had already rushed out with weapons in hand, hacking and killing. Chu Heyi and Wen Tingshen led their soldiers to attack them from the front and back.

Chu Heyi didn't know what Runxue and Duan Feichi said, but Duan Feichi burst out with amazing strength and was able to defeat ten people alone.

With no way forward or backward, he protected Runxue and fled to the left and right sides. However, Chu Heyi had already made arrangements and ordered his soldiers to attack from the left and right sides to block their escape route.

But he never expected that Duan Feichi would take Runxue with him, regardless of life or death, regardless of the wounds on his body, regardless of the blood flowing, and he fought his way out.

Chu Heyi was injured in the battle. She wiped the blood off her face, narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked in the direction where Duan Feichi was protecting Runxue and escaping.

Chu Heyi gritted her teeth and led hundreds of soldiers to bypass the spreading fire and rush through another path. Thorns kept retreating on her side, and blood marks appeared on her face and hands, but she just rode Benxiao and rushed forward.

Finally, she stood before Runxue and the others, covered in wounds and blood.
