After Liao Guangwen had restrained the Southern Wilderness' Vice Commander-in-Chief Li Yuanxiong and the enemy troops, Sima Du took the opportunity to escape and lead a group of elite soldiers to the dungeon to save them.
Before he could reach the dungeon, he saw a man with a black veil covering his face, floating out of the dungeon with the black cloak wrapped around him and Feng Ning Yan in his arms.
Sima Du was shocked and hastily waved his arms, shouting, "Put down Young Marshal!"
When Feng Ningyan heard Sima Du's voice, she was secretly shocked in her heart. She hurriedly said, "Don't come over …"
She could not let Sima Du approach the person who saved her because she was afraid that he was really Shen Ling Jue.
How could the exalted Prince Yu possibly know the law and break the law? How could he save a suspected traitor who had committed the crime of colluding with the enemy to sell his country and openly confront the military overseer?
Moreover, if Sima Du discovered that he was King Yu, he would definitely let him go. If that happened, Sima Du would be dragged into this mess.
She didn't dare to let more people be implicated and couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice, "Is it you …" "Is it …"
As she spoke, she used all her strength to lift a hand, to lift the black veil from his face and take a look.
Even if she looked at him once more, she would be satisfied …
However, he suddenly grabbed her ice-cold hand and let it go.
His mask was done to conceal his identity and to save her from Shen You Huang's clutches. But if she knew that he had saved her, what kind of heartless words would she have spoken and what sort of heartless act would she have? As long as he thought about it, he would feel a chill down his spine.
She was so cold and heartless outside the Commander's tent yesterday, yet she said goodbye to him and left him alone. This caused him to be unable to control himself and suffer a heavy internal injury. He would not be able to bear it a second time …
He forced himself to harden his heart, and tightly held Feng Ning Yan's hand. He was silent, and didn't even reply with a single word.
In the blink of an eye, the sounds of Sima Du and the soldiers' hooves nearing each other could be heard.
The masked man placed Feng Ning Yan beside a sandbag that wasn't too far away, allowing her to lean against it.
Feng Ningyan only felt the sky spinning and the earth spinning. Even if she were to remove his veil now, she wouldn't be able to see his face.
She gripped his hand tightly, refusing to let go.
Her eyes reddened slightly as two streams of tears fell on his shoulders. "Answer me …" Are you... "Why didn't you leave …"
He could only answer her questions with endless silence.
His other arm slowly pulled away from her back.
He looked at her face in silence, and when he saw how she was crying, he could not help but wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
The cold tears fell into his eyes, but they felt as if hot oil had been poured over his heart.
However, other than this action, he did not dare to allow himself to approach her, nor could he even hug her.
At this time, Sima Du jumped off his horse and swung his sword over!
"Thief, don't be rude!"
The man suddenly stood up. His sleeves also quickly left Feng Ning Yan's hands.
The silky smooth brocade on her fingertips suddenly disappeared. Feng Ningyan's tightly clenched fist was left with nothing but nothingness, a desolate and hopeless nothingness.
"No …"
Don't go! Don't leave me! Ling Jue!
Feng Ningyan tried her best to suppress the screams in her heart, but the pain in her heart was unbearable. Her vision went black and she fell onto the sandbag, unconscious.
"Young Marshal!" Sima Du didn't know what was going on with Feng Ningyan. He couldn't help but shout as he tried his best to attack the masked man.
However, the masked man cast a cold glance at him, then leaped up and disappeared from the high wall of the army camp as fast as lightning.
Sima Du was stunned by this person's unfathomable Qing Gong for a moment. He then thought of chasing after him, but he could no longer catch up.
His heart was in turmoil as he hurriedly turned around to support Feng Ningyan. In his heart, he thought to himself: That person's gaze just now, without anger or self-confidence, he looked down on everyone under the heavens. He is definitely not an ordinary person.
There was also that tall and straight figure, that suave and elegant posture, that devilishly bewitching and unpredictable martial arts. Other than King Yu, Shen Lingjue, there was probably no one else in this world.
"Could it really be Prince Yu?"
He was still puzzled, but he knew that the most important thing right now was to wake Feng Ning Yan up, and he quickly extended his hand to pinch her.
Just then, another group of people rushed out from the underground prison. The leader of the group saw Sima Du giving Feng Ning Yan a pinch, and shrieked, "Sima Du?! How dare you rob a prison! Quick, take them down! "
At this moment, Shen Youhuang also rushed out of the dungeon. When she saw the army guarding the Southern Yong Pass protecting Feng Ning Yan, afraid that she would escape and return to Feng Wei, she clenched her teeth and gave the order.
When Sima Du heard this, he suddenly became angry.
The soldiers of the Southern Ning Army fought desperately in the front of the battlefield to protect the mountains and rivers behind them.
But Shen Youhuang had provoked internal strife and wanted to kill the gatekeeper and the young commander of the Southern Ning Army. This was the true act of colluding with the enemy to sell out the country!
The young marshal was still unconscious, but Shen Youhuang was still arrogantly clamoring and slandering others. Did he really think that he was afraid of the title of that lousy military overseer?!
Sima Du carefully put down Feng Ning Yan, raised his broadsword and shouted, "Prince Cheng, you've gone too far!"
At this time, the personal guards of Prince Cheng's Mansion and the soldiers of Southern Ning Army such as Sima Jun were suddenly engaged in a fierce battle. One side wanted the lives of Sima Du and Feng Ningyan, while the other side naturally vowed to protect them.
Unexpectedly, the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole.
Duan Liushao and his underlings, who had been chasing after Sima Du, arrived just at this moment.
When Sima Du saw this, he was shocked.
Why did the Southern Wilderness' crown prince come here? Could it be that he was here for the Young Marshal as well?
He was sweating profusely from his anxiety, yet he still continued to fight with those from the Prince Cheng's estate, unable to escape.
Duan Liushao spurred his horse over and from afar, he saw the unconscious Feng Ning Yan beside the sandbag fiercely pinch his horse's belly as he rushed over.
His riding skills were not bad. Controlling his body, he bent down and picked up Feng Ning Yan. Hugging her in front of him, he could only smell a strange fragrance coming from her body and hair. He was inwardly surprised.
How could she have been struck by a weak tendons and the armor on her body disappeared?
How could Sima Du be fighting with the personal guards of the Residence of Prince Cheng? Could this be what Liao Guangwen had said earlier about "helping out"?
He was alarmed and uncertain. He wrapped Feng Ning Yan's cloak tightly around her, turned his horse around, and under the cover of the soldiers of the Southern Wilderness, rode off.
When Sima Du saw that the young marshal had been kidnapped by the Southern Wilderness Crown Prince, he became so anxious that his eyes became bloodshot. He forced Shen Youhuang's men to retreat, one step at a time.
"Quick, save the Young Marshal!" The moment he got a chance to catch his breath, he immediately mounted his horse and chased after Duan Liushao.
Duan Liushao turned around and saw Sima Du chasing after him. He coldly laughed, "Great, let him chase us!"
The southern soldiers immediately understood that Duan Liushao was trying to lure Sima Du into a trap, so they didn't fight against him. They only covered up for Duan Liushao as he fled towards the direction of the city gate where the southern troops were concentrated.
Gao Wang hurriedly asked Shen Youhuang, "Your Highness, are you going to chase after him?"
Shen Youhuang's face froze as she pondered in her heart for a moment. She knew what Duan Liushao's plan was and said coldly, "Chase after what!?" Sima Tu is getting impatient from living. This King is also borrowing the opportunity to kill people! "
Sima Du and Liao Guangwen met up inside the city gates, but Duan Liushao and Feng Ning Yan were nowhere to be seen.
Amidst the chaos, the two of them did not dare to hesitate. Even though they knew that there was an enemy gathering firepower in front of them, they had no choice but to save Feng Ning Yan.
In front of the Southern Yong Pass, the sounds of battle grew louder and louder.
The news of the Young Marshal's capture was instantly spread throughout the entire battlefield by the warriors of the Southern Wilderness.
