Chapter 917: Chapter 917: 915: Shock

Su Yingxue paid her no heed, instead patting Saint Ruan on the shoulder, “Come and give me a hand, help me carry my brother.”

Saint Ruan gave her a disdainful look, “He’s not my brother! Why don’t you ask your hubby to help you!”

“Are you helping or not? His Highness still needs to lead us out, can you do that?” Su Yingxue rolled her eyes at him and shot back directly.

Saint Ruan snorted lightly, he really was idle, looking for trouble.

Grinding his teeth, he joined Su Yingxue in taking Su Hao from Lu Ying’s arms.

The reason she said ‘snatch’ was that Su Yingxue felt Lu Ying’s reluctance to let go.

But she was even more unwilling to let this woman touch her brother again.

With her arms empty, Lu Ying watched as Su Hao was taken away, not turning back to look at her for another glance; he was eager to return to his sister’s side.

Lu Ying thought darkly to herself, the relationship between Su Hao and his sister was indeed very good!

If Su Yingxue did not like her, it would be somewhat tricky for her to be with Su Hao.

While she pondered how to solve this matter, everyone had already walked ahead of her, and Chu Yihan’s cold voice came through, “You were not bound, do you wish to stay here?”

“No, this humble daughter was careless!”

Lu Ying immediately followed.

She had not anticipated that Chu Yihan and Su Yingxue could actually create a secret passage into the One-Line Sky Canyon. If they managed to rescue Su Hao like that, she would not be able to fulfill what she promised to the Qi military.

So on the way, she picked up two pebbles and shot them out with a whoosh, one hitting the Qi soldiers’ torch basin and the other hitting Saint Ruan’s ankle.

The force was gentle, but it hit the nerve, causing Saint Ruan to suddenly fall over, “Damn!!!”

“Who’s there?”

The Qi soldiers, alerted by the noise, immediately became vigilant.

A small team quickly went to check Su Hao’s tent, and upon finding him missing, they immediately sounded the military horn, “Someone is breaking the prisoner out, search with caution!”

Chu Yihan’s brows furrowed tightly, “We’ve been discovered.”

“What do we do? We’re in a canyon, with only a few of us…”

Su Hao’s heart was filled with worry as they were not far from the canyon Su Yingxue mentioned.

Struggling to speak, he said, “Yingxue, put brother down, you and His Highness leave through the secret path. I will stay here. If they capture me back, they might not catch up to you quickly, and you could still escape!”

“What are you talking about, brother! We came here to rescue you, how could we possibly leave you behind and run?”

Su Yingxue was in extreme distress; even if Su Hao were unharmed, she couldn’t possibly leave him alone here, and all the more so now that he was full of wounds. If he returned, wouldn’t he just suffer more?

“Yingxue, you must not act rashly. Now that you are the Ninth Princess Consort, you must prioritize His Highness in all matters. His Highness is so noble and our commander-in-chief. If he falls into the hands of the enemy, it would dishearten our military spirit and give Qi State an opportunity to defeat our forces! Brother cannot bear to see this happen, letting His Highness walk into a trap. I would rather die now to ensure your safety!”

Su Hao pulled a metal hairpin from his hair and pressed its sharp end against his own neck.

“Brother, don’t!”

Su Yingxue’s eyes widened in shock.

A flicker of joy passed through Lu Ying’s heart, “Yes, Your Highness and Princess, please leave quickly. I will accompany him and buy you some time!”

As long as she stayed by Su Hao’s side, the original plan would not change.

“No, you go too, back to the military camp, to your father’s side.”

Su Hao gave Lu Ying a shove, pushing her toward Su Yingxue.

“Hubby…”

“Lu Ying!” Su Hao gasped heavily,
