Chapter 389 Intercepted
"Anle." Gao Yuanshang wanted to try to persuade him, but Song Anle reached out and held his handsome face. She said with tears in her eyes: "Take me with you, don't leave me behind."
Gao Yuanshang was unable to resist Song Anle's prayer, so he hugged her tightly in his arms. When they hugged each other tightly, Gao Yuanshang reached out and knocked Song Anle's head slightly.
Song Anle's nervous consciousness was instantly frozen, her eyes turned black, and her body sank in a shaky way, but when she fainted, she still looked sad in her eyes.
"Big Prince, you..." Lin Xuan'er looked at Song Anle with a serious look on her face.
Gao Yuanshang picked up Song Anle in the waist. His expression was mixed with too many painful emotions, but he still said seriously: "The two elders atone for their sins. For the sake of peace and happiness, I have to do this."
"You'd better come back safely, otherwise she will never forgive you." Lin Xuan'er also subconsciously glanced at Song Jingran, because she had experienced a separation of life and death, which was her persistence. She waited for Song Jingran's rebirth, so she wanted to warn Gao Yuanshang that what she was waiting for was not only torture and pain, but also deep resentment.
Gao Yuanshang brought several capable masters around him to escort Song Jingran and Lin Xuan'er to the north gate of the palace. Because the palace ladies did not get up, they seemed particularly quiet along the way.
However, when they approached the palace gate, Gao Yuanshang felt more and more uneasy as he walked. Although this time was not the time for people to appear, they did not meet a single officer or soldier who patrol the night, and even the palace maids who were on duty were rarely seen. This situation was simply unreasonable.
But in order to stabilize people's hearts, he did not show any tension or abnormal movements. His requirements were not high. As long as he could escort Song Jingran and his wife away, he would be able to deal with everything.
Suddenly, a series of extremely cold voices came, "Who dares to appear in the palace gate late at night? Why don't you stop here for me?"
This voice may be unfamiliar to others, but Gao Yuanshang is definitely not unfamiliar with it. Besides, Gao Yuanyi, who can claim to be this king, is probably the only one who can be a warrior.
Gao Yuanshang and others stopped in place. Because they could tell who it was, Gao Yuanshang turned around meaninglessly. It was Gao Yuankang who led a team of troops behind them.
Gao Yuankang was also as expected by him, but the appearance of Song Jingran and his wife was completely different from what he expected, so he also said meaninglessly: "It turns out to be the emperor brother. I dare to ask the emperor brother who is out of the palace gate late at night, what's the matter?"
Gao Yuan was not worried or afraid at all, but still said with great prestige: "What's the matter with King Lin leading his troops to appear in front of the palace gate late at night?"
Gao Yuankang came prepared, so he naturally had something to explain, so he said arrogantly: "I learned that someone had trespassed the palace, so I led my troops to capture it."
After Gao Yuankang finished speaking, he did not forget to deliberately glance at Song Jingran and his wife, and it was obvious what he was saying. Gao Yuanshang, who was blocked in the dilemma, had no explanation, but he was determined to start a war with Gao Yuankang, so he didn't care about pulling the war out in advance.
"Uncle Song and his wife are my distinguished guests, so I'm afraid that the king has misunderstood." No matter what, Gao Yuanshang could not implicate Song Jingran and his wife.
Gao Yuankang said proudly: "What I saw is only a hidden Rainbow Housekeeper."
Gao Yuan could not delay time because of this, so he said coldly: "Tell me, what do you want?"
"A person of unknown origin sneaked into the palace and should be killed on the spot." Of course, Gao Yuankang's intention was just to try Gao Yuanshang and Song Jingran and his wife's reaction.
"What if I am not sure?" Gao Yuanshang's arrogant attitude showed his determination to not surrender.
Gao Yuankang sneered, "Then don't blame me for being ruthless under the sword."
Gao Yuanshang was not afraid of it at all. He also said with a sneer: "Do you think that with your current little force, you may stop us?"
Gao Yuankang waved his hand and saw a large number of lurking soldiers and horses appearing in each gap, and even there were many crossbowmen hidden above the city wall. This situation was obviously prepared.
"It seems that you are one step ahead of me." Gao Yuanshang outlined the corners of his mouth. Although he did not smile, there was no tension or fear. He said meaninglessly: "But first, Uncle Song and his wife are outsiders in our war. I hope you can let them go."
Song Jingran was able to appear with Gao Yuanshang, obviously because he chose to help Gao Yuanshang. Gao Yuankang finally got the opportunity to eradicate him, so how could he be willing to let him go? So he suddenly said: "It is not impossible to let them go, it's just that I will go with me."
Gao Yuanshang looked angry, but he didn't know how to deal with Gao Yuankang's mantra. At this time, Song Jingran didn't want to make things difficult for Gao Yuanshang, so he said at the right time: "The eldest prince, the Caomin couple are born lowly, and they are really not worthy of the protection of the eldest prince."
"Master Song Fang, don't say that. I promised someone who will send you away safely. I will never break my trust in her." After Gao Yuanshang finished speaking, he threw out a signal flare, and a spark flashed in the dark night.
Seeing this, Gao Yuankang seemed to be impossible to capture Song Jingran's intention, so he also said angrily: "Gao Yuanshang, don't blame me for not giving you a chance."
"Everyone, prepare." Gao Yuankang raised his hand and waited for his hand to fall, those long arrows like rain would rush down from under the city wall.
"Slow down." How could Song Jingran allow it? Things were out of control, so he had to ease Gao Yuankang before Gao Yuanshang's reinforcements arrived.
Gao Yuankang raised his hand, clenched his fists and put it down. It was a preparation that all soldiers and generals knew. Gao Yuankang said proudly again: "What, what else does Master Song Fang have to say?"
Song Jingran took a step forward and said steadily: "Caomin is a reckless man. It is a blessing for Cao people to be appreciated by the King. If Cao people's destiny is the only one who can be exchanged for the stability of the Northern Dynasties, Cao people are willing to settle it on their own, and only hope that Prince can let the eldest prince go this time."
If Song Jingran's death could bring about Gao Yuan Shang's life or the stability of the entire Northern Dynasties, of course, he would have chosen and sacrificed without hesitation.
"Jingran." Lin Xuan'er walked beside Song Jingran in fear. She looked at him timidly, as if telling her fear at this moment.
Song Jingran gently stroked Lin Xuan'er's shoulders, and he said with a sad look on his face: "Xuan'er, no matter what the result is, you must survive bravely with your children. He is the only bloodline of our Song family, promise me."
After Lin Xuan'er experienced a separation of life and death, she never dared to imagine that she would face it again. So over the years, she has been guarding Song Jingran incessantly because she is afraid of parting and the kind of separation that is invisible to life and death.
Lin Xuan'er said in tears: "Jingran, you said that you will only leave me once in this life. Have you forgotten?"
Song Jingran locked his eyebrows and said with a serious and melancholy look on his face: "In this life, I, Song Jingran, are destined to owe you, I hope I can repay you in the next life."
"I don't want it, I don't want the next life." Lin Xuan'er shook her head helplessly, and tears couldn't help but slide on her cheeks, as if life and death were right in front of her.
Song Jingran had a solemn and deep frown. He didn't want to let Lin Xuan'er down, but he knew very well.
Gao Yuankang didn't waste much time, so he said loudly: "What a love a husband and wife, I really envious."
Gao Yuanshang was worried that he would be helpless in the fight against Gao Yuankang's military force, so it would really lead to unimaginable consequences, so he said sternly: "Gao Yuankang, if you dare to touch one of their hair, I swear that you will be wiped out in the army."
During the war, Gao Yuankang was in short supply, but facing the current situation, it was easy for him to deal with Gao Yuanshang. However, in principle, his behavior was not gentle enough.
So Gao Yuankang said angrily: "If you want to destroy my Linjun, it depends on whether you have the ability to leave alive."
Gao Yuankang outlined the corner of his mouth with a proud look on his face, and he turned to Song Jingran and said, "Master Song Fang, I will give you two choices now. One is that you will all die under my arrows. The other is that you choose to go back with me. I can spare them from death."
"Uncle Song doesn't want it;" Gao Yuanshang said anxiously: "Our reinforcements will come immediately. As long as we work together to resist for a while, I believe we can rush out."
"The eldest prince, Caomin knows that you are all concerned about your promise to peace, but the army is imminent, and we cannot break through the siege. If one Caomin sacrifices one Caomin, it will be exchanged for a temporary peace, and Caomin will spare no effort."
Gao Yuanshang said even more eagerly and deeply: "Uncle Song, I am not just for peace. Just because you are famous for your lifetime, I am also a hero of the world. I will never do it. It is a stigma that makes the world laugh. I hope Uncle Song thinks twice."
Gao Yuankang said angrily again: "Gao Yuanshang, I am not in the mood to see you pretending to be hypocritical here, so you'd better not interfere with the transaction between me and the Lord of Song Fang, otherwise don't blame me for not giving you a chance."
Gao Yuanshang had no choice but to delay time, and perhaps he could turn the situation around when reinforcements arrived, so he said loudly: "Gao Yuankang, if you are a man, you should come to me. This war is also a battle between me and you. If you are a gentleman, don't implicate others."
Gao Yuankang sneered. Even though he knew that Gao Yuanshang was provoking him, how could he let him succeed? So he said meaninglessly: "A gentleman often decides to win and lose. I don't care about everything before the war. If you and I can still talk so much after the war, I might care about the behavior of the gentleman."
