Rebirth of a Lost Nation: Princess, Please Respect Yourself

Chapter 292 Burial

Jiang Lige swallowed the antidote and felt his strength gradually returning. He patted his chest in fear for a while.

"Fortunately, you've been thoughtful. Do we have enough manpower outside now?"

"Don't worry, the Southern Chu Emperor doesn't have many men at his disposal, and Ning Luyang's men are even fewer. Lu Er is more than enough to deal with them."

At the same time, Ning Luyang and his group who were surrounded outside also attacked with swords.

Ning Luyang looked at the two people who were behaving intimately and said with his eyes slightly narrowed.

"Ning Yunxiao, you don't think you have a sure win, do you? If we were truly unarmed, how could we have dared to set up this situation today? If you hadn't resisted just now, you could have walked away with more dignity today. Now that things have come to this, don't blame me for being cruel."

As Ning Luyang spoke, he raised his hand, and a group of well-trained armored soldiers rushed out from outside, each holding a sharp blade, and surrounded the Yihe Palace.

Ning Yunxiao saw the clue at a glance.

There was no sign of retreat on Ning Yunxiao's face. His eyes were as sharp as ice blades as he stared straight at Ning Luyang.

"Ning Luyang, you are so bold! You actually colluded with the Poxiao Army to deal with your own people!"

Ning Luyang sneered, "Smart people often don't live long. Everyone, get started."

As soon as Ning Luyang gave the order, Poxiao's armored soldiers rushed towards them like a tide.

Ning Yunxiao drew his sword to meet the enemy, and with his agile body, he protected Jiang Lige as they moved through the crowd. His sword skills were sharp, and for a moment he did not fall behind.

But the current situation is that the enemy outnumbers us and the situation is critical.

Jiang Lige's body has not fully recovered yet, but he is unwilling to hold Ning Yunxiao back. While cooperating with Ning Yunxiao's movements, he is thinking of a way.

At this time, Jiang Chuchu was also trying to find a way to break the deadlock.

Although they have the advantage in numbers now, the longer the time drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for them. If they want to break the deadlock, they must fight quickly and decisively!

Oh right! Jiang Lige!

While Jiang Lige's body has not yet recovered, as long as Jiang Lige is controlled, there is no need to worry about Ning Yunxiao not surrendering.

After all, Jiang Lige is Ning Yunxiao's sweetheart!

Thinking of this, Jiang Chuchu quietly went around behind Jiang Lige, ready to capture her by surprise.

Unexpectedly, just as he made a move, Jiang Lige turned around at lightning speed, with strength from nowhere, and grabbed Jiang Chuchu's wrist with his backhand. Then he placed the dagger across Jiang Chuchu's neck and shouted.

"Stop! Ning Luyang, you probably don't want to see the baby in Jiang Chuchu's belly buried with us!"

Ning Luyang's face suddenly changed when he heard this. He looked at Jiang Lige fiercely and said.

"Ari, this dagger is not something you girls can play with. Be obedient and put the dagger down. We have something to discuss."

Jiang Lige sneered, his eyes determined. "We? Ha, whether it's you, Ning Luyang, or her, Jiang Chuchu, the fight between us has long been a fight to the death. There has never been anything to discuss."

"If I say there is, then there is."

"Ning Luyang, I don't want to listen to this nonsense." Jiang Lige said, pushing the dagger forward. The sharp blade cut through Jiang Chuchu's fair skin, and bright red flowed down the blade.

The glaring red made Ning Luyang's heart tighten, and he hurriedly shouted, "Stop it first."

He also knew Jiang Lige's character. He always kept his word and was never bluffing.

And the baby in Jiang Chuchu's belly is his first child, so there must not be any mistakes!

But at the same time, Ning Luyang was also clearly aware that if he let Ning Yunxiao and Jiang Lige go this time, he would be in for a catastrophic disaster.

Ning Luyang was struggling internally between the two dilemmas.

Jiang Lige gritted his teeth and brought the blade closer. "Ning Luyang, do you really want to see your bloodline severed in your hands?"

Blood...bloodline?

The unfamiliar words fell into my ears, causing a strange resonance in my chest.

Recently, Ning Luyang often had dreams. He dreamed of a delicate little girl who would call him father in a crisp voice, and her smile was brighter than even the whole spring day.

But the next moment, the little girl fell in a pool of blood on the battlefield, her black grape-like eyes staring at him.

Then she said, "A man like you is not fit to be a father."

Dreams and reality overlapped. Ning Luyang looked at Jiang Chuchu's slightly bulging belly. A hint of determination flashed in his eyes. Then he slowly raised his hand, signaling the armored soldiers to retreat.

"Drop your weapons and let them go!"

The armored soldiers looked at each other, but after looking at Jiang Chuchu who was still being held hostage, they gritted their teeth, obeyed the order, and slowly retreated a path.

Seeing this, Jiang Lige finally breathed a sigh of relief and was about to walk out holding Jiang Chuchu hostage.

Unexpectedly, the calm Jiang Chuchu suddenly burst into laughter, "You want to use the child to threaten me? No way!"

After saying that, before Jiang Lige could even react, he saw Jiang Chuchu suddenly lean forward and actually put her neck on the dagger!

Jiang Lige was horrified and instinctively let go of his hands, but Jiang Chuchu just made a feint and took advantage of the moment when Jiang Lige relaxed his movements to flash and break free from Jiang Lige's restraints.

Then he quickly turned around, pulled out another sharp dagger from his sleeve, and stabbed it straight into Jiang Lige's heart.

Jiang Lige had also come to his senses by now and reacted quickly to avoid Jiang Chuchu's attack. Even so, Jiang Chuchu's dagger still cut his clothes, leaving a bloody mark.

After missing the attack, Jiang Chuchu did not advance any further. Instead, she took a step back and returned to Ning Luyang, saying sarcastically.

"Threatening me with a child? My sister's methods are becoming increasingly vile."

"If you hadn't planned this, I wouldn't have been able to counterattack you. Dirty? We're on the same page." Jiang Lige retorted without batting an eyelid, then looked back at Ning Luyang. "The child that the Eighth Master would sacrifice everything to protect is nothing to Chuchu. Or perhaps, compared to the child, Chuchu truly has something else to protect, right?"

Ning Luyang knew that Jiang Lige's words were somewhat divisive, but all the things that just came to his mind were like needles, pricking him again and again.

Jiang Chuchu had always shown that she loved him too much, so he had never thought about what purpose was behind Jiang Chuchu's "love".

She kept saying that she loved him, but she had no possessive desire for him at all. At first, she even schemed to get him to marry Jiang Lige.

She kept saying that she loved him, but before the scandal in the Imperial Garden, she had colluded with Princess Jingyu to arrange for him to marry Xiao as his legal wife.

She kept saying that she loved him, but she was willing to sacrifice their child and the lives of Jiang Lige and others...

While Ning Luyang was silent, Jiang Chuchu probably sensed the subtle emotions in it and hurriedly explained.
