Yelyu Lie is a general, a soldier who defends the country and protects the people, a great hero who would even sacrifice his life!
He was being manipulated by those exploiting his weakness, using the safety of all Bianliao’s citizens as leverage.
The King of Bianliao was intimidated and, without consulting Yelyu Lie, unilaterally agreed to Ying Ce’s request to dissolve the marriage.
But they forgot that Bianliao was no longer the Bianliao of the past.
As for Yelyu Lie, the cherished one kept close to his heart, he would never let anyone easily sway him.
Without waiting for Ying Ce to continue his threats, he laughed and personally tore apart the alliance treaty between the two countries.
Leaving him with four words: "Stand with you till the end."
The King of Bianliao was dumbfounded with anger and called for Yelyu Lie to be caught and defeated.
Yet he did not soberly realize that his Great General, who had always regarded his words as sacred edicts, was no longer the same foolishly loyal and filial son.
A war broke out within the Royal Palace.
A white and a black figure battled fiercely.
But a person with a hidden ailment, no matter how strong, cannot withstand the physical torment arising from it.
When Ying Ce staggered, Yelyu Lie used the Heaven-binding Rope to firmly restrain him.
After that, Yelyu Lie didn’t mention what happened in the Royal Palace, only that the arrogant and insolent Regent King was taken to a private cell.
Yun Chunnuan shivered upon hearing it.
She had never thought that their long-awaited marriage would bring such disaster to the peoples of Bianliao and Great Xia.
"Why? Why must it be this way?"
She couldn’t understand, everything was fine at the General Mansion.
Were all the blessings he gave fake?
Was his apparent indifference all fake as well?
Ying Ce lay on the ground, the Heaven-binding Rope digging almost into his flesh, compounded by a sudden flare-up of his hidden ailment, his physical pain was unknown to anyone.
Yet he appeared entirely carefree, with a faint smile at the corner of his lips, as though the prisoner in chains was not him.
His calm eyes fell upon the girl outside the iron bars.
"Little Qi, come home with me."
He stubbornly stuck to the word ’home’.
"Are you crazy?! How many times must I say it, your Little Qi is already dead! Dead!!! She won’t come back or go home with you ever again!"
"Then, Nuannuan, come home with me."
Yun Chunnuan: "!!!"
She finally saw him clearly—this man was indeed a lunatic! An obsessive maniac!
In his eyes, who she was mattered not, he just wanted to take her back to Great Xia...
But that was completely impossible!
She didn’t want to waste any more words with him, "What about Lian Qiao and Ba Yaoyao? Did you capture them?"
"Hmm?" He tilted his head slightly, a hint of confusion flashing in his dark eyes.
"Don’t play dumb! Those two girls who slept next to me!"
Her husband had been silent about their whereabouts, and Yun Chunnuan realized that they must have been taken away by this madman!
Sure enough, he nodded slightly, as if understanding, "They’re safe, come home with me, Nuannuan."
The clear, smooth voice carried no waves, yet Yun Chunnuan heard the full threat within.
"Don’t call me Nuannuan!"
That name from his mouth made her sick to the core!
"Then, what do you want?" The man looked aggrieved, as if she was being unreasonable.
Yun Chunnuan suddenly felt powerless.
On her wedding day, if it meant exchanging two girls’ lives, how could she happily become a bride?
"Husband, otherwise the wedding date..."
"No way."
Before Yun Chunnuan could finish speaking, Yelyu Lie interrupted her, "Trust me, as long as they haven’t disappeared from this land, they can be found."
What humans couldn’t accomplish, the Wolf Clan could.
Those two girls didn’t mean much to Yelyu Lie, but he knew if his little wife couldn’t find them, she would never be at peace for the rest of her life.
"Jifeng! Dabai!" His reminder made Yun Chunnuan instantly think of her first entry into the Storage Ring Space, where Dabai had found her!
"Yes, they will be found."
The dialogue between the two reached Ying Ce’s ears within the cell, and his calm composure finally showed a crack, "Why force me, why must you force me?"
His deep, unfathomable eyes turned, filled with pain, "Can’t we not get married? Nuannuan, give me a chance, I will be better than him! Will..."
"Do you realize, you now resemble a dog begging with a wagging tail?" A cold voice came from that sweet, soft tone.
