Chapter 292: Countless generals died on the battlefield, who would care about the life of a woman!
Suddenly, Li Hengtu knelt on the ground again.
The general's wife was puzzled: "What's going on again?"
Li Hengtu hesitated for a moment, and finally said resolutely: "Mother, I want to go to the border to rescue Miss Ming!"
The general's wife widened her eyes, unable to believe her ears: "What did you say?"
"Mother, I am an unfilial son!"
"That's enough! Your father died in that damn place, and you never even saw him. What are you doing there? Just to save a woman!"
"Mother, the Emperor's decree cannot be disobeyed. Miss Ming is the wife of the General's Mansion, and everyone in the imperial capital knows it. Now that she has been abducted to the frontier, the General's Mansion must not stand idly by!"
"What you said is true, but you don't have to go to the rescue in person!"
Li Hengtu said earnestly, "Mother, you often tell me about my father's great achievements. He has been a soldier all his life and has made great military achievements! I am his son, the son of General Zhenyuan. Now Miss Ming has been kidnapped by the enemy country, and the two countries are at war. The General's Mansion can no longer ignore it! Mother, the General's Mansion not only has General Zhenyuan, but also me!"
The general's wife stared at her son in a daze, speechless.
She fell into a chair, covering her face and crying.
"My child, I understand your painstaking efforts. Your father died on the battlefield. You have been looked down upon since you were a child. You want to prove that you are a talented general! However, you are gone, and I am the only one left in this huge general's mansion..."
Li Hengtu's eyes were also moist, and he choked up a little: "Mother, I am unfilial. I am going to the frontier and cannot serve you. I will take good care of myself, and when I return, I will bring honor to our family with my military achievements!"
A farewell, a tear.
Li Hengtu set out with the imperial edict granting marriage and 8,000 troops.
Lord Ming and Madam Ming went hand in hand to the city gate to see him off. Looking at the general's wife who was eagerly waiting, the couple only advised her that a good man should have ambitions and should not worry and hurt himself.
The carriage on Sidi's side was moving very fast, and she knew very well that there must be some action in the imperial capital now.
"Hurry up! The imperial capital has already discovered that I escaped. The news of Miss Ming's disappearance may have already reached the palace. We must shake off the pursuers."
"Princess, don't worry. The sun is almost setting. We have been galloping since last night, but we can't catch up!"
Steve lifted the curtain and talked loudly with the coachman. Yue listened with his ear tilted, and felt in his heart: Although Steve was in deep pain, he had a cool head.
Suddenly, Steve's worry was heard again: "No, let's abandon the car and drive the horses, go faster, and we must not be caught up halfway."
So, Yue Weiwei had her hands tied and rode on the same horse with Sidi's personal guard.
The strong man held her waist to prevent her from jumping off the horse and escaping or falling off.
Steve rode his horse as fast as the wind and lightning, with an astonishing speed. A dozen followers followed him closely, afraid of being left behind.
Yue Weiwei felt that her body was shaking unbearably and was about to fall apart, so she begged, "Princess, slow down, I'm almost dying!"
Steve turned a deaf ear to her grievances.
The violent jolt caused Yue Weiwei to feel a dull pain at the back of her head.
The world in front of her eyes turned into lines and dots jumping up and down!
As night fell and the dark woods passed by quickly, Steve finally stopped his horse.
"There's a town ahead. Let's eat something, feed the horses, take a short rest, and then continue on our journey."
At this moment, there was only a dark shadow swaying in front of Yue Weiwei's eyes.
She was carried off the horse by the strong man, who pushed her a few times: "Hurry up and leave, or you won't have any food!"
Yue Weiwei bargained weakly: "I feel very uncomfortable and need to rest, otherwise I will die of exhaustion on the way, and I am afraid that you will lose more than you gain!"
Steve turned his head and looked at her: "If the pursuers come, you will become a hostage, which will be more dangerous."
"Am I not a hostage now?"
"At least you're safe now!"
"You don't want to kill me now because you think I'm useful!"
Steve did not answer. She changed from the sadness and resentment in the carriage to courage and determination.
Yue Weiwei's hands were untied, but her feet were tied.
Steve threw a piece of cake to her: "Eat it quickly, only when you are full can you have the energy to save your life."
"Princess, do you think kidnapping me can change the outcome of the war? Since ancient times, countless generals have died on the battlefield. Who would care about the life of a woman?"
Steve thought sadly of his fate.
Yes! Isn't she? Who cares if she lives or dies?
