She never thought she would wear a wedding dress before her coming of age, standing in the most magnificent hall of the palace waiting for a man she had never met to take her away...
Exchanging herself for the lives of tens of thousands of citizens and the peace of Great Yan seemed like an extremely profitable deal. But why would Yuan Cang make this deal? Qin Ge did not have enough confidence to believe that she could charm someone into giving up the allure of expanding their territory... So, was there some conspiracy behind this?
A conspiracy?!
Qin Ge's pupils suddenly constricted. Could this be a plot by the Yuan Cang Kingdom to invade the city? Why had they proposed a marriage alliance to resolve things after attacking the city for more than a month? Although Great Yan's surrounding territories fell easily, the royal city's defenses were designed and built by the renowned Ghost Craftsman, Zhao Yingcai!
Even if the valiant Yuan Cang troops forced their way into the palace, they could barely hold on. It had been nearly two months, and the Yuan Cang army had not taken the city. At this moment, they used the panic among the citizens to propose a marriage alliance to open the city gates, thus capturing it without losing a single soldier!
What a vicious scheme from their Marshal!
No! The city gates must not be opened! Otherwise, Great Yan would truly be lost!
“Yuer, quickly inform Father that we cannot open the city gates! I will go check on the walls!” She tore her wedding dress and threw it on the ground, ignoring the panicked eunuchs and palace maids behind her as she ran towards the city gate...
This might just be her speculation, but even if it was only speculation, she absolutely would not allow Great Yan to be buried in the long flow of history in this way! If she guessed wrong, Qin Ge was willing to die as an apology!
However, before she could reach the city wall, she heard the thunderous sound of the city gate opening. Then came several screams followed by blood raining down from above. She saw the prince of Great Yan, her uncle, lying on the ground with an expression of uncontrollable horror in his eyes!
It was too late...
Qin Ge watched as a man in black riding a White Horse wielded a blood-stained sword, slaughtering all the soldiers pouring out from the city gate as if they were in an uninhabited land! Then her gaze fixed on a splash of green at his waist, and her breath caught sharply!
It’s him!!
Without having time to think about what was happening, Qin Ge instinctively remembered that her father was still waiting in the main hall! She had to save her father!
Zhao Yingcai personally supervised the construction of the imperial city, where all directions were interconnected. There was a secret passage that she had accidentally discovered during her childhood playtime. So, Qin Ge quickly climbed up the city wall with great care. Just as she vanished from sight atop the wall, the man in black who had been facing away from her quietly turned around.
The man slightly curled his lips into a faint smile, and a hint of Azure flickered in his eyes.
On the White Horse, the wind of December tousled his hair, yet it did nothing to diminish his innate sense of nobility; he was a man who seemed almost divine.
“Once we enter the palace and encounter members of the royal family… kill the men, spare the women.” He dismounted, his gaze indifferent, returning to its original pitch-black hue. He spoke to his subordinates.
“Understood!” The general who had previously entered the palace as an envoy bowed respectfully but with a clear hint of fear in his expression before leading his soldiers in with drawn swords.
The man stood there watching his beloved horse, then gently stroked its head before heading towards the city wall where Qin Ge had gone up.
Meanwhile, the general who had rushed ahead noticed that the Marshal was no longer behind him and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He nudged a somewhat slack-faced Deputy General beside him: “Did you see that? The Marshal just smiled.”
“Oh.” The Deputy General scanned the surroundings cautiously for ambushes.
The general tightened his grip on his sword with a sigh: “The last time the Marshal smiled was on the battlefield, facing that famous general from Great Yan… You know what happened to that general later? Cut in half with one sword! One sword!! When we cleared the battlefield, there were guts everywhere!” He seemed shaken, patting his chest with one hand.
The Deputy General glanced at him indifferently and suddenly spoke up: “The Marshal wasn’t smiling at you. What are you afraid of?!”
"Indeed, the title of Smiling Face Yama is not wrong!" the General muttered, and the Deputy General slapped him on the back of the head: "Watch your mouth; you should hurry and carry out the military orders."
At that moment, a scream came from the right side. The two hurried over and saw a slightly disheveled palace maid lying on the ground, surrounded by several soldiers. Their tense expressions relaxed a bit.
"General... it's been several months now, and you see that we are all young brothers, so..." a clever-looking soldier grinned at the General.
The General shot him a glare: "Be careful; just don't kill her. Women Marshal should be kept alive."
"Rest assured!" The three soldiers happily sent off the two generals and then approached the palace maid, who was already a bit dazed from fear...
Qin Ge could never have imagined that before she could even speak upon entering her father's palace, screams began to echo from outside, followed by the sound of the palace door crashing to the ground...
In the backlight, she saw that extraordinary youth from her past approaching with a gleaming sword dragging on the ground, creating a shallow groove between the Sword Tip and the tiles.
Without thinking, she placed herself in front of her father. Her father was Great Yan's emperor; if he were to be lost, Great Yan would truly be doomed!
"...Are you Yuan Cang Kingdom Marshal?" Qin Ge regained her voice.
The man across from her simply stared at her in silence, his gaze lingering on her for a moment before shifting to the Great Yan Emperor behind her.
