The seductive princess is no longer being pursued; the aloof prime minister is facing a crematorium.

Chapter 282 I found the Tiger Tally.

They all understood.

Jiang Jinshuang could have broken through the encirclement much earlier, but she wanted to protect everyone, so she gave up the chance to break through alone.

They cut off her burdens.

They said, "Your Highness, let's fight our way out."

Later, after Jiang Jinshuang broke through the encirclement, she fell seriously ill and vomited incessantly in bed.

It seemed they wouldn't be satisfied until they spat out the fish, bones and all.

It was around that time that Jiang Jinshuang stopped eating fish.

Every time I eat fish, I get a rash all over my body, which is very uncomfortable.

Jiang Jinshuang hid behind Prince Ruiyang's uncle, serving as his shadow for five years.

She didn't care about fame or fortune; she gave all those things to Uncle Wang without feeling any resentment.

Just like Uncle Wang, he never distanced himself from or feared her because of her achievements and honors.

When the Black Armor Cavalry was first established, there was no reliable military doctor in the army. Uncle Wang repeatedly wrote to the palace to petition for the dispatch of several imperial physicians from the capital to accompany the army.

However, the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital all felt that this was a difficult task, and since Prince Ruiyang was a prince with little financial reward, everyone declined and no one was willing to go.

Later, Jiang Jinshuang suggested going to Baiyujing to invite the medical sage, Mr. He Weijing, to come out of seclusion.

She and Uncle Wang went to He Weijing's residence three times to invite him.

The third time, He Weijing sat outside the courtyard of the medicine shop, glanced at her, and put down his teacup.

He sighed, seemingly helpless, yet with a hint of indulgence.

"Alright, stop inviting me. I'll go with you...you guys go."

Many of the soldiers in the Black Armor Cavalry had heard of Prince Ruiyang's reputation from various parts of Wan Jin and volunteered to join the army.

Almost all the able-bodied young men in Baiyujing City would join the army.

Oh, and there's also a small number of homeless migrants who, in order to earn a living, joined the army.

The mouse is one of them.

"Mouse" is the name he gave himself. He said his greatest advantage is his speed. If enemy troops were chasing him, he would run so fast that they wouldn't even see his tail.

Jiang Jinshuang had chatted with him a few times when he wasn't wearing a mask. He seemed unreliable, but he was actually quite kind-hearted.

He said he was an orphan who had been wandering with an old beggar who had lost both legs since he could remember. He later helped the old beggar until his death, and he managed to make a living with his own skills.

Later, due to the turbulent times, in addition to Baiyujing, many other border towns were razed to the ground by the Beihuai army, leaving Haozi with nowhere to go. In order to make a living, he came to Baiyujing to join the army.

Mouse said he had an older sister who used to wander with him, but they got separated during the war and he couldn't find any news about her.

During her conversation with the mouse, Jiang Jinshuang suddenly realized that the "sister" he was talking about seemed to be Xia Yurong, whom she had taken in at the princess's residence.

After I told him the news, Mouse was very happy and showed his mischievous little tiger teeth.

He also told Jiang Jinshuang that once the war was over, he would definitely go back to the capital with her to reunite with his sister.

Jiang Jinshuang readily agreed and decided that when she returned to the capital next time, she would take Haozi back with her to reunite with Xia Yurong.

But the mouse didn't live to see the day it returned to the capital.

Bei Huai launched a major invasion of Baiyujing, even taking hostages and forcing Jiang Jinshuang to surrender.

Jiang Jinshuang went in alone and rescued the hostages, but was chased all the way by the archers of Beihuai.

It was Haozi who appeared before her with a few of his brothers.

Encirclement and suppression by a massive army.

Thousands of arrows rained down on her like arrows.

At the critical moment, the rat who claimed to be the fastest runner shoved Jiang Jinshuang aside and was hit by several arrows in the back.

Jiang Jinshuang's mask fell to the ground. When Haozi saw Jiang Jinshuang's face, he smiled innocently and revealed his little tiger teeth.

"Your Highness, let's go..."

Jiang Jinshuang was bloodthirsty, her Twelve Towers stained with blood, and she was exhausted.

With all his might, the rat threw Jiang Jinshuang onto the warhorse. A hail of arrows rained down once more.

The rat and his brothers stuck their spears into their feet, forming a human wall that refused to fall, even at the cost of their lives.

He looked at Jiang Jinshuang in the distance and smiled.

"Your Highness..." he said with a smile, "Please take good care of my sister for me..."

That sentence became Jiang Jinshuang's obsession.

Everyone says that the Black Armored Cavalry and the God of Slaughter, Ruiyang King, are invincible.

That's not true. There's no such thing as being invincible.

However, on the road to victory, many, many people lifted her up, made her wear the mask of the god of death, and placed her on the high seat of "invincibility".

The soldiers of the Black Armored Cavalry, as if they knew each other without words, placed the God of Slaughter on the high platform.

That title of "invincible" was enough to make the enemy tremble with shame and surrender.

……

Uncle Wang always seemed to feel sorry for her, and that Jiang Jinshuang had suffered a lot of injustice.

But Jiang Jinshuang didn't feel wronged at all. That was her Baiyujing. Those who truly suffered and were wronged had already died in yesterday.

At the age of nineteen, King Beihuai finally compromised and signed a century-long alliance with his uncle, agreeing not to invade each other's territory.

That same year, on Jiang Jinshuang's birthday, the eagle-headed jade pendant that Uncle Wang had prepared was ultimately not delivered to her.

Uncle Wang always liked to joke with her.

"Shuang'er, tell Uncle Wang what you want! Stars and moon, dragon liver and phoenix gall, Uncle Wang will find you anything!"

Jiang Jinshuang said expressionlessly, "Uncle Wang, give me some money."

Jiang Buhuo: "You're just spouting things that Uncle Wang didn't even know!"

The two then burst into laughter.

Sometimes, Uncle Wang would stroke Jiang Jinshuang's head with a kind smile: "Your Highness, although Uncle Wang can't give you much, Uncle Wang promises that you will always have the right to choose."

"Choice?" Jiang Jinshuang didn't understand.

Jiang Buhuo nodded with a smile: "Yes, whether Your Highness wants a way out or a way forward, whether Shuang'er wants to retreat or move forward, your uncle guarantees that you will always have the right to choose."
-
choose……

choose?

In the study of Prince Ruiyang's residence.

Jiang Jinshuang frowned, pondering the words her uncle had once said.

By admitting to treason, Wang Shu cleared the emperor and empress dowager of their suspicions of her, thus giving her a way out and allowing her to live out her life without worry.

This was the option she wanted to back down from.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jinshuang suddenly looked up.

As if remembering something, Jiang Jinshuang suddenly turned around, opened a hidden compartment in the study with practiced ease, and took out a stack of envelopes from it.

These letters were written by Jiang Jinshuang's uncle, who lived far away in Baiyujing, to let her know that she was safe and sound when she was in the capital.

She flipped through the envelopes one by one and read the opening sentence of each letter.

——【The frost remains unchanged】.

Those were the words Uncle Wang used to greet her, words she had never paid attention to before.

And now.

In a flash, Jiang Jinshuang finally understood something!
"Pei Du."

She spoke in a low voice.

The man who had been silent all along looked at her, his eyes clear and gentle.

"what happened?"

Jiang Jinshuang raised her eyes and looked at the handsome man in front of her.

"I've found the Tiger Tally."
