Chapter 252 Encounter with Prince Su
Chapter 252 Encounter with Prince Su
"do not want!"
Lin Wantang was pinned to the snow by the roadside by the driver, but no matter how she struggled, she could not break free from the man's shackles.
Miserable screams and the man's wild and disgusting laughter echoed over the road.
Blurred by tears, Lin Wantang turned her head and saw Qingshuang lying in a pool of blood beside her. She was already unrecognizable and had no breath left.
"Shuang'er! I'm sorry! Ah!"
Lin Wantang roared angrily, and used all his strength to hook his fingers on the stone next to Qingshuang's head, and smashed it towards the man's temple with a bang.
"Ok!"
With a muffled groan, the man stared at her in disbelief, raised his body and prepared to strangle her neck.
Almost at the same time, a sound of breaking through the air was heard in the night, and an arrow came whistling and pierced through the man's right temple. The force was so great that it carried the man's body to the left.
"what!"
Lin Wanshuang screamed, quickly got up from the ground, picked up the blood-stained stone with both hands, and smashed it hard at the man's body.
a bit!
Twice!
Three times!
She didn't even know how many times she had hit someone. Until someone grabbed her armpits and dragged her far away, she still kept hitting people with the stone in her hand.
"Alright! That's enough! That's enough! He's dead!"
A firm and clear voice sounded behind her head. Lin Wantang turned her head blankly, and saw a worried face.
"what!"
Lin Wantang threw the stone, turned around and threw herself into the arms of the man who had come in. She tightly hugged the man's neck with both hands and shook him vigorously, howling as she did so:
"Why did you come just now? Why did you come just now?!"
Prince Su, who had been on a nighttime march, was completely bewildered by the scene before him. He helplessly stretched out his two hands, but now he had to slowly close them, patting Lin Wantang's back again and again in an awkward manner.
"Okay, it's okay, it's okay!"
Lin Wantang in his arms was still clutching his neck and crying loudly. The subordinates on both sides quickly checked the surroundings and ran over to report:
"Your Highness, both are dead."
Prince Su was strangled to the point of being short of breath, and felt a little dizzy from being shaken. He waved his hand helplessly and asked his men to retreat.
"You didn't see anything today. If I find out you're gossiping, you'll be punished by military law!"
"Yes!"
Prince Su finally managed to pull Lin Wantang off him, but Lin Wantang was like a frightened bird at this moment. She grabbed Prince Su's arm tightly and refused to let go.
"never mind."
Prince Su had no choice but to coax her like a child, and took off his cloak to cover Lin Wantang.
"By the way, why are you here?"
"I……"
Lin Wantang finally came back to her senses, but faced with Prince Su's question, she was speechless for a moment.
Did she have to say that she had fled from Shengjing City in order to avoid marriage with him?
"I...I came to see you."
Lin Wantang blurted out.
"Find me?"
Prince Su was stunned at first, and then a blush slowly appeared on his face.
Although his father had already granted them a marriage and they were already engaged, he was deeply opposed to it. His request to go north was also partly to escape from this marriage.
Now that Lin Wantang said so bluntly that she was out looking for him, he was in a really difficult situation.
After hesitating for a while, he decided to be frank with Lin Wantang.
"Ms. Lin, although we are engaged, I don't actually want to marry you. Oh, no, it's not that I don't want to marry you, it's that I don't want to get married at all. I can only let down your friendship."
Prince Su finished speaking in one breath and watched Lin Wantang's reaction cautiously.
Speaking of which, Lin Wantang had just suffered such a blow, and it was a bit cruel to tell her all this at this moment. But he really couldn't lie to her, and he couldn't deceive himself either.
Just when Prince Su was feeling uneasy, he saw Lin Wantang shudder, as if he had heard something very important. He grabbed his arm and shouted:
"Okay! Great!"
"???"
"I mean, it's great that you don't want to marry me. Actually, I don't want to marry you either. To tell you the truth, I didn't come here to find you. I ran away from you. I wanted to run away so far that no one could find me, but I didn't expect to encounter something like this..."
The light on Lin Wantang's body flashed and then dimmed.
Obviously, Prince Su didn't want to marry her. This happy news made her excited for a while, but then she thought of Qingshuang.
If she hadn't been so self-righteous and run out for no reason, Qingshuang wouldn't have died.
And Xu Jing!
She had originally thought she was just trying to compete with her for the title of Princess Su, and that walking away would just do what she wanted. But she hadn't expected her to be so vicious and cruel, not only wanting her dead, but also ruining her reputation and destroying her reputation!
Prince Su was also stunned when he heard Lin Wantang's words, and then he suddenly understood.
"So, you're pretending to stutter?"
"Yeah." Lin Wantang nodded embarrassedly.
With a long sigh, Prince Su sat down on the stone next to Lin Wantang.
"Since neither you nor I have any intention of getting married, don't worry. When I return from the North, I will find a way to get my father to revoke his decision."
"it is good."
There was another long silence.
In front of the two men were teams of soldiers marching in formation. The sound of their orderly footsteps made the ground shake slightly. Their armor was shining, their swords were sharp, and their faces were filled with determination and courage to move forward.
"Let's go. I'll have someone take you back."
Prince Su broke the silence and stood up.
"No, I'm not going back."
"how?"
"I want to go north with you."
"Nonsense!"
"I'm not messing around!" Lin Wantang wiped her tears. "I used to be very naughty, I acted like a fool every day. I didn't know what I wanted. I even ran away from home without knowing where I was going. I just followed my temper."
"But now I know where to go."
She grabbed Prince Su's arm, her face calm and firm.
"I'm going north with you. Not for you, but for them, and for the people of the northern border. You don't know, I know a little bit about medicine and can help the military doctors save lives and heal the wounded. I also know needlework and can help you sew and mend. I can also learn to make fires, cook, and help you clean. I can do anything!"
Looking at the gleam in Lin Wantang's eyes, Prince Su was a little shaken, but he still shook his head.
"No! When two armies engage in battle, swords have no eyes. Even if you stay in the barracks, I won't have time to worry about your safety. Now that we've talked about things, I'll keep my promise and break off our engagement on the day I return to the capital. Forget about going north! The men of Daqi are strong men, and it's not the turn of a girl like you to protect them."
After saying this, Prince Su waved his hand.
Two strong sergeants ran forward.
"These are my personal guards. I leave them to you. They will escort you back to Shengjing tonight."
After saying that, he lowered his eyes to glance at Lin Wantang, then without looking back, he mounted his horse and followed the team.
"Hey!"
Lin Wantang chased after him and shouted, but all he could hear was the flying mud and the sound of distant horse hooves on the snow.
"If you don't let me go, then I won't go?"
