This battle lasted longer than expected, but the result did not change much.
A year later, the two hundred thousand soldiers returned to the court.
In this year, Prince Yu's name, Ji Yu, was widely known, especially when he led a group of soldiers deep into the enemy's camp and took the head of the enemy's leader. This was also spread by the citizens of the Tianqi Dynasty.
Today was the day that the army returned to the court.
Countless people flooded the streets and stopped on both sides of the road, wanting to admire His Highness Prince Yu's style.
Gu Shengyin was also part of this group. She and the eldest princess of Wen City were together, protected by a few servants. They stood in the crowd, waiting for the victorious hero.
Very quickly, the army appeared at the city gates.
The Great General was riding a tall horse at the front, followed closely by Ji Yu, who was dressed in silver white armor.
After a year of military service, his elegant and jade-like face had a hint of murderous aura. Just a casual glance could cause people to blush.
Gu Shengyin's position was very good, not only could she see the Great General and Ji Yu clearly, but she could also be seen by them at a glance.
She also gave Ji Yu a big gift, evidence of the Crown Prince's collusion over the years, the assassins might have already appeared on the Emperor's case.
At this time, Ji Yu's reputation was at its peak, and the Emperor already had a change of heart. With this strong medicine, there was no room for negotiation.
Ji Yu looked up and saw Gu Shengyin. He urged his horse over and was about to say something to Gu Shengyin when his expression suddenly changed.
Suddenly, a few silhouettes emerged from the crowd with weapons in their hands and rushed towards Ji Yu.
It was clear that their target was Ji Yu.
Gu Shengyin was immediately protected by the Great General's guards.
Seeing this, Ji Yu relaxed slightly and focused on dealing with the assassins in front of him.
These people had clearly been carefully trained, and their moves were tricky and ruthless, causing Ji Yu to be at a disadvantage for a while.
What was even worse was that the soldiers who were originally following behind Ji Yu were also being held back. When the commoners saw the scene of the assassination, they were all scared silly. They completely ignored the Grand General's orders and began to scatter in all directions. For a moment, the situation was somewhat out of control.
With a moment of carelessness, Ji Yu's arm was slashed by an assassin, and the horse under him cried out, falling into a pool of blood.
Ji Yu rolled on the ground and landed not far from where Gu Shengyin was.
"Go and help His Highness Prince Yu." The eldest princess of Wen City made a prompt decision. The assassins' target was clearly Ji Yu, and they were not in danger.
The Grand Princess of Wen City regretted her decision countless times. She almost lost the most important person in her life.
The Great General's guards were all elites, with their help, the pressure of Ji Yu was greatly reduced.
Finally, all the assassins were killed. Ji Yu heaved a sigh of relief and prepared to walk over.
Gu Shengyin stood there looking at him with a smile, preparing to tell him that she had prepared a big surprise for him.
Ji Yu's expression suddenly became frightened, and he rushed towards Gu Shengyin without any regard for anything else.
Gu Shengyin was confused, but the system's warning sounded in her mind: "Host, be careful … …"
But it was already too late.
A sharp pain came from her chest, and she looked down. It was a small dagger, and the owner of the dagger was a completely unfamiliar face.
In a daze, Gu Shengyin felt that she had fallen into a warm embrace.
