She was also watching him. Seeing his infatuated expression, she covered her face and smiled faintly. She rose gracefully, her voice soft and melodious, like a nightingale singing in a valley.
"Get some rest and don't get any funny ideas, or you might regret it."
Coming to his senses, he could only manage a wry smile.
How could he be worthy of her?
But things often take the most ironic turn.
The snow fell heavier and heavier, and the heavy snow blocked the mountain, forcing the two of them to stay in the small Hanshan Temple.
several days.
After several conversations, she was deeply captivated by his talent.
His talent is unparalleled, how could he have failed the exam?!
She started to laugh for him, sigh for him, and stare blankly at him.
However, the scholar was unwilling to accept this love, even though he was as amazed by her every time he saw her as he was at first sight. He knew he was not good enough for her.
She understood his thoughts.
Before leaving, she said to him, "Since studying is not an option, then join the army."
"When you've accumulated countless military achievements, then come and marry me, okay?"
She lowered her eyes shyly, her beautiful eyes filled with anticipation.
"Because I am a princess of a nation, a princess who protects the country."
Princess Zhenguo!
He suddenly realized.
Three years later, the two northern countries, which had been engaged in a cold war for several years, finally broke into a full-scale war under a certain trigger.
A physically weak scholar, despite his hard work and willingness to fight, would find it difficult to stand out and achieve great feats on the battlefield without exceptional martial arts skills.
So at this time, he was still just a lowly soldier in the army.
Fortunately, he did not disappoint her.
He first gained fame by discovering an ambush set up by the enemy general, reporting it to the general in time, and saving the lives of all the soldiers.
At this point, the general noticed his talent and he became a centurion.
Three years later, a new general emerged in the army, who had repeatedly distinguished himself in battle. He was invincible, with the demeanor of a scholar-general and the attire of a scholar.
The emperor summoned this highly respected general in the army and appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the entire army to lead the country's soldiers to complete the great cause of unification.
Having become a commander, he felt he was now qualified to request the emperor to grant him a marriage.
The emperor told him that as long as he broke through the enemy's last line of defense, he would marry the Princess Zhenguo to him.
Holding the power of the army, he swept through the enemy with unstoppable force, overcoming all obstacles, and finally, seven years after meeting her, he led his troops to the gates of the enemy capital.
The wind howled, snow fell heavily, and war raged.
The icy snowfields have been stained red by the flames of war, by the blood of soldiers from both countries; the snow-white world is now interspersed with shocking crimson.
One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand!
Treading the blood-soaked path paved with the lives of his soldiers, he finally arrived at the enemy's last line of defense, the gates of the imperial palace!
This is enough to prove that the enemy country's fate is sealed and there is no way to reverse it.
Surrounded by cheers, he could almost picture their wedding: flowers carpeting the ground, her in a wedding gown, her head veiled in red.
Inside the palace, however, a different atmosphere prevailed, filled with sorrow.
The sky was filled with heavy, fluffy snowflakes.
Suddenly, a woman dressed in a snow-white dress appeared on the city wall. Her white dress seemed to blend into the fluttering snowflakes, and was completely out of place with the blood-red color below the city.
The high wall, several meters high, prevented him from seeing the person's face clearly, but when he saw the woman's slender figure, his pupils immediately contracted.
It was her! In that instant, he suddenly realized that they had been wrong about one thing all along, and that thing was potentially fatal!
"No...!" Her heart-wrenching screams did not stop her.
She was like a snow-white angel with broken wings, falling rapidly, and finally, her blood turned red and white as she lay in a pool of blood.
In an instant, the glory and honor he had earned over seven years seemed to vanish completely. He collapsed to the ground, powerless, his mind blank.
"Hahaha... From this day forward, the entire Northern Kingdom will belong to me alone!"
A powerful laugh, tinged with arrogance and excitement, broke the brief silence.
The laughter signifies that none of the enemy's royal family members will escape death.
Just then, the sound of arrows whistling through the air came, and several arrows accurately pierced the scholar's back, turning him into a pincushion in an instant.
Despite his pain, the scholar resolutely gazed at the emperor, his eyes filled with incomprehension, bewilderment, and grief!
Deepest sorrow!
Just before he fell to the ground, the scholar finally understood.
