General Zhao coughed to cover up his embarrassment, then said seriously, “Zhou Yu, that evil thief, is already dead. Now that the northern King’s mansion is without a leader, it’s the best time for us to destroy his forces and wipe him out in one fell swoop. We’ll charge in now.”
Xuan Ying also thought that the time had come. He saw that Xuan Yingluo’s face was a little pale and her body was cold, so he said, “Yingluo, you’ve completed your mission. Go back now. Leave the rest to us.”
“Okay.”Xuan Yingluo nodded and left.
Xuan Yingluo wanted to go back, but Zhao Zhengming quickly went up and grabbed her slender arm. “Yingluo, are you okay? Did Zhou Yu Hurt You?”
Xuan Yingluo pulled back her slender arm. “He didn’t hurt me, Zhengming. I know how much you love me, but I’m already princess bei now. We should keep a certain distance from each other in the future.”
Zhao Zhengming froze. He did not expect Xuan Yingluo to say this.
That’s right. Xuan Yingluo was married to Zhou Yu. This wedding was real. She was already Zhou Yu’s Princess Bei. Tonight was a secret operation. Although Zhou Yu’s background was not good, he was still the son of Ye Ruge, the descendant of the Eastern King, his funeral and cause of death could not be made public. In order to stabilize the situation, after his death, he would be promoted to a higher rank to show his favor.
And Xuan Yingluo was still princess bei.
But she could remarry.
Zhao Zhengming did not expect Xuan Yingluo to really treat him as Princess bei and even reject his affection, “Yingluo, today’s wedding was a forced one. Everyone knows the purpose of your marriage. Now that Zhou Yu is dead, you don’t have to act anymore.”
Xuan Yingluo furrowed her brows and did not speak.
At this moment, an arrow shot out with a ‘Xiu’sound, piercing through Xuan Ying’s chest.
Xuan Yingluo quickly looked back. Her clear pupils suddenly contracted, and she quickly ran up. “Dad, Dad, you’re injured!”
Xuan Ying knelt on one knee on the ground. The sharp arrow pierced through his chest, and fresh blood poured out.
Xuan Yingluo looked up and saw a tall and handsome figure slowly walking out of the northern King’s mansion, standing high up on the steps.
It was… Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu was not dead!
Xuan Yingluo was stunned. Just now, she had personally stabbed a silver needle into his heart on the new bed. He should be dead.
Why was he still alive?
“Oh no, we’ve fallen into a trap. Zhou Yu faked his death to lure us into the trap. Tonight, our entire army will be wiped out, and we won’t be able to return!”Xuan Ying said.
Behind Zhou Yu were the two and three. He was standing on the steps, holding a bow and arrow in his large, well-defined hand. It was the arrow in his hand that had pierced through Xuan Ying’s chest just now.
Now, Zhou Yu curled his thin lips and casually placed another sharp arrow on the bow, “Father-in-law, today is supposed to be my wedding day with Yingluo, but what do you mean by bringing so many people to our door? Since you’ve already delivered yourselves to our door, then there’s no need for me to be polite.”
Zhou Yu aimed the arrow in his hand at Xuan Ying’s heart.
“Stop!”
Xuan Yingluo quickly stood in front of Xuan Ying and looked at Zhou Yu. “Zhou Yu, if you want to shoot my father to death, then shoot me first, right?”
Zhou Yu stopped moving. He looked at Xuan Yingluo’s pale face and raised his sword-like eyebrows, “Yingluo, I already said that you can’t kill me. You stabbed me with a silver needle, but I was already prepared. Look at your little face. You thought I was really dead, but you didn’t shed a single tear for me. Yingluo, you actually didn’t cry for me. You’re really a heartless woman.”
There were no tears on Xuan Yingluo’s face. She looked at Zhou Yu and slowly curved her lips, “Why would I Shed Tears for you? Tonight, you were just playing along. You said you wanted to marry me because you gave my father a chance to encircle you. You used my hand to fake your death and caught everyone off guard. Zhou Yu, you’ve been using me!”
Zhou Yu smiled, “Yingluo, you’re very smart. That’s right, I was playing a trick on you. From the moment I wanted to marry you, I set up a trap for you to fall into. However, it’s also true that I want to marry you. After all, you personally sent the Xuan King Mansion and all the royal family’s forces to use as a betrothal. It would be a pity if I didn’t marry such an expensive wife.”
Xuan Yingluo clenched her fingers tightly. Only then did she see clearly the ambition and callousness of the man in front of her. He had been scheming against her all along!
“Zhou Yu, you’re too despicable and Shameless!”At this moment, Zhao Zhengming cursed loudly.
Zhou Yu’s gaze indifferently fell on Zhao Zhengming’s face, “Zhao Zhengming, I can understand that you’re envious and jealous. After all, in order to kill me, you personally sent Xuan Yingluo to my bed. You probably never dreamed that this high and mighty eldest daughter of the Xuan family would not only be good at scheming, but even the bedfellows would almost… take my life. Her taste is truly indescribable.”
Zhao Zhengming froze and his expression turned ugly. He looked at Xuan Yingluo and saw that her pink neck was covered with strawberries.
This was all Zhou Yu’s work.
At this moment, Xuan Yingluo clenched her fists. “Zhou Yu, that’s enough. Tell me, what do you want?”
Zhou Yu put away the bow and arrow and handed her a big hand. “Yingluo, come here.”
He asked her to go over.
“Yingluo, don’t go over!”Xuan Ying stopped her.
Xuan Yingluo stood up and walked towards Zhou Yu step by step.
Zhou Yu reached out and pulled her into his arms. He reached out and pinched her beautiful face. His Adam’s apple rolled, and then he whispered in her ear, “You Little Vixen, I actually miss the time you called me ‘husband’, so I can’t bear to lay my hands on you.”
Xuan Yingluo’s body stiffened, allowing him to hug her. She did not resist.
“The marriage contract we talked about just now still stands. From now on, you won’t be the eldest daughter of the Xuan family. You’ll just be my Princess Bei. As long as I’m here, you’ll have endless wealth and glory. I also want you… to give birth to a few sons for me!”
From now on, she would not be the eldest daughter of the Xuan family. His meaning was very clear. He would not keep the Xuan family.
She was the only living person left in the Xuan family.
Xuan Yingluo gently lowered her long feathers and grabbed his large hand. “Let go of Me First. I’ll go over and have a few words with my father.”
Zhou Yuzhen let go of her. “Yingluo, you can’t play any tricks. Don’t make me angry, okay?”
Xuan Yingluo walked over to Xuan Ying’s side. “Dad, I’m sorry.”
Xuan Ying shook his head.
General Zhao, who was by the side, had long been watching the commotion. Seeing Xuan Yingluo walk over, he quickly pulled Xuan Yingluo over and held her under his control, then, he pressed the sharp tip of his knife against Xuan Yingluo’s beautiful little face. “Zhou Yu, do you think you’ve won? Right now, your Princess Bei is in my hands. As long as I move slightly, her face will be ruined.”
