Chapter 20: Heart Locking Talisman

After a [-]-day truce, the guards on the city wall of Xidi finally saw that Panchao's army had moved.They saw that Pan Chao sent a large army to attack the city this time, but they had never seen the leader in military uniform.

"What?" Prince Wei Zhilie, who was resting in the city, narrowed his eyes when he heard the news. He put down the wine in his hand and asked. "How many troops did they bring to attack the city this time?"

"About 5 people." The guard returned in a low voice.

"Heh, you think you can break through my city with more people? That's a little too naive." Wei Zhi smiled fiercely, and said to the guard. "Call Wulan, and follow me to the city wall."

There was a lot of wind and sand that day, Lin Huiye stood at the front of the army on a horse with a white face, she raised her head, and looked at the city of Xidi from afar.I don't know if it's because she just recovered from her illness, but she always feels cold even under the scorching sun.Wei Zhilie also stood on the high city wall to watch her, and after a while, he spoke to the people around him.

"She is actually a beauty."

Wu Lan remained silent, but Wei Zhilie asked again.

"What's the matter?"

"Reporting to His Royal Highness, the leader this time is Lin Huiye, the first princess of the Pan Dynasty. She has been ill for the past few days, and I don't know why she went out today." Hearing Wei Zhilie's question, Wu Lan replied softly.She hides in that wide black cloak all day long, without a face.

"Do you think that her imperial brother and the great general have lost the battle, so she went into battle?" Wei Zhilie sneered. "It seems that Pan Chao has no one available anymore."

Wu Lan hid in her cloak and listened silently without answering.

"Ulan."

"Subordinates are here."

"I want her." Wu Lan said fiercely. "Don't kill her for a while, and bring her back alive."

"Yes."

After a short horn sound, Lin Huiye gave the order to attack the city. A large number of soldiers set up ladders and prepared to climb the city, but they were frequently shot down by the archers on the tower.The soldiers rushing in front of the city gate were still hitting the city gate with huge logs, but the improvement was not great.

"Bring up another log and keep hitting!"

Hearing Lin Huiye's order, the soldiers hurriedly carried the second log that had been prepared, and hit the city gate with all their might!After giving the order, Lin Huiye stood on the spot holding the rein, quietly staring at the gate of Xidi City, but the closed gate still did not open.She frowned slightly, only to feel that things were more difficult than she imagined.

Just when Lin Huiye was about to order a change in tactics, everyone suddenly saw a ghostly shadow falling lightly on the city wall.

"Archers get ready!" Seeing that person seemed to be aimed at him, but the murderous look was not good.Lin Huiye ordered the archers to raise their arrows, and he also put his hand on the hilt of the sword. "Let the arrow!"

However, when all the archers listened to the order to release their arrows, the shadow disappeared.When Lin Huiye came to his senses, the ghost had already appeared in front of him.She only felt a chill on her neck, and a sharp pain hit her violently!

"His Royal Highness!!!" The soldier saw his princess was suddenly taken up from the horse by iron chains!And the iron chain penetrated the princess' collarbone!The leading soldier ordered. "It's the princess! Stop shooting arrows!!"

Lin Huiye didn't know how she was brought into the city, she only knew that she was woken up by being splashed with cold water.

Stimulated by the ice water, Lin Huiye opened his eyes in a daze, and found himself in a prison-like place.The light here was very dim, but he could still clearly see the iron chain penetrating his collarbone.

"She's awake! Go and tell His Highness the Prince!" Seeing that Lin Huiye had woken up, the guards rushed to inform Wei Zhilie.

Lin Huiye didn't care about Xiao Bing's attitude, but just stared at the candle in the corner of the cell with a white lip, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Lin Huiye?" After a while, Wei Zhilie arrived.He stood at the door of the cell, looking at the people inside.

"Yes." Lin Huiye replied softly.

"What are you thinking about?" Unexpectedly, Lin Huiye replied with such an intimate voice, not at all like a prisoner, Wei Zhilie couldn't help asking again.

"Thinking about you." Lin Huiye replied with a slight smile.

"My business?" Wei Zhilie became interested when he heard this, and asked. "What about me?"

"Don't tell you."

"You..." After receiving such an answer, Wei Zhilie only felt a dull feeling in his heart, and couldn't finish the second half of the sentence.

"Unless..." Lin Huiye looked up at Zhilie, his eyes were extraordinarily bright in the dim light.Wei Zhilie only looked at her beautifully shaped lips opening and closing. "You untie the chain on my collarbone."

"What if I don't understand?"

"Then there's no way of knowing."

"What if I don't want to know anymore?" Seeing that her attitude is irrelevant, Wei Zhilie teased,

"Then don't think about it." But she heard her answer like this.

Seeing Lin Huiye being so casual, Wei Zhilie suddenly lost interest in playing any more.He stood outside the cell and looked at the man inside for a long time before finally leaving.

Lin Huiye felt that Wei Zhilie's departure seemed to have taken away the last ray of light, even the crumbling candle in the corner was extinguished.

When Wei Zhilie walked out of the cell, he didn't make a sound, and Wu Lan, who was waiting outside the door, was also very quiet.She just followed behind Wei Zhilie, as if following the principle that Wei Zhilie doesn't speak, and she absolutely doesn't say a word.

"Lin Huiye said she was thinking about me." Seeing that she was about to reach Wei Zhilie's mansion, Wu Lan said thoughtfully when he heard him speak suddenly. "What are you talking about?"

"My subordinates don't know." Wu Lan replied in a soft voice.

"How much do you know about Lin Huiye?" Wei Zhilie asked.

"The subordinates only know that the eldest princess of the Pan Dynasty has never liked civil and martial arts since she was a child, and she never shows up at all the dinner parties. She is a silent person." Wu Lan replied. "She has three older brothers who are brave and good at fighting, and a younger sister who is more lively than her. Only two years ago, her two older brothers passed away one after another, and her younger sister went crazy, so people gradually mentioned Hui Princess of the night."

"Two elder brothers passed away one after another. The only younger sister is crazy? It seems that Pan Chao's palace is also quite chaotic." Wei Zhilie listened to Wu Lan's report playfully, and said. "However... I'm just curious, that is, how did such a person who doesn't like civil and martial arts, taciturn, and completely unremarkable, dare to lead troops into battle after the Pan Dynasty was defeated twice in a row..."

Seeing Lin Huiye being carried up the city wall by a black cloaked ghost with iron claws on his collarbone, Lin Hengzhi's heart ached.Although he knew for a long time that Lin Huiye's original plan was to lead a heavy army to bluff, break through the city gate and be captured and mixed into the city of Xidi deliberately, but he never thought that although she mixed into the city, it was in such a frightening way .

"My Royal Sister... My Royal Sister's illness is just recovering. How can she stand such a torment!" Lin Hengzhi sat in the barracks, unable to settle down.

"Your Highness, we know that you are worried about the princess, but now we can only do what Her Royal Highness said." General Zhenwei also had a serious face. Although he felt that the situation was not optimistic, he could only gamble for a while. bet.

Lin Hengzhi stopped talking, but was still worried.

There was a moment of silence in the tent.

Just when everyone thought the silence was going to last forever, they heard Zhao Minghe, who had been sitting in the corner, talk.

"Since Her Royal Highness is going to sneak into the city, she must be capable, so why should Her Royal Highness be so worried?"

"But!"

"There's nothing wrong with it." Zhao Minghe interrupted the prince's words with cold eyes, and said. "We only need to obey Her Royal Highness and attack the city again in three days, and then we will know the answer."

Lin Huiye didn't know how long it took, the whole world was pitch black, and her thoughts became blurred together.She only felt that she was cold all over, but her body was extremely hot.Lin Huiye turned sideways, and just about to change his position, he pulled the chain on his collarbone, and was immediately paralyzed by a sharp pain.She bit her lower lip with her teeth, and forced a wound to maintain her sanity, but she was not sure how long she could last.

"Minghe..."

In his chaotic thoughts, Lin Huiye only remembered this name.

"Minghe..."

Lin Huiye didn't know what was wrong with him, why he thought of Zhao Minghe at this moment.She only knows that all the blood and scars are not as clear as the word "Minghe".These two words lurked in Lin Huiye's mind like a spell, and they couldn't get rid of it no matter what.

"Zhao Minghe, I seem to... miss you."

Lin Huiye murmured like this, and after that, the pitch-black world became infinitely brighter.And there seemed to be nothing in that light, only Zhao Minghe's wanton smile among the soldiers remained.

When Lin Huiye woke up again, he found that he was no longer in the cell.She was in a daze, but she could still tell that she seemed to have been washed and put on a set of luxurious red clothes.The only thing that hasn't changed is the iron chain on his collarbone.

"Are you awake?" Wei Zhilie sat on the wooden chair beside the bed, looking at her.

Lin Huiye just stared at Wei Zhilie coldly, without answering.

"Don't look at me like that." Wei Zhi laughed. "I just saw that you were dirty all over, so I asked the maid to wash and change your clothes for you. I didn't do anything bad."

"Aren't the chains removed?" Lin Huiye asked after hearing what Wei Zhilie said.

"If you tell me what you are thinking about, what is the matter about me, I will think about it and go to it."

"Then you may be disappointed." Lin Huiye said wearily, and arched himself under the quilt, as if he was a little sleepy.

"Lin Huiye, I won't remove the chains." Seeing that Lin Huiye really didn't want to talk anymore, Wei Zhilie frowned and said. "But I can assure you, I won't kill you, how?"

"I don't want your no-kill guarantee. There are only the two of us here. If you go back on your word and want to kill me one day, don't I even have a witness?" Lin Huiye said, looking sideways at Wei Zhilie. "I just want to be free for one day, okay?"

"What freedom?" Wei Zhilie asked vigilantly.

"What freedom can I want?" Lin Huiye smiled. "Just go and see your mansion and your army."

"Why do you look at those?" Wei Zhilie frowned, and was not optimistic about Lin Huiye's answer.

However, Lin Huiye spoke slowly and word by word.

"Because... I want to... go to Chi Country."
