After being forced to leave the marriage, I became the wife of a top scholar.

Chapter 310 Reinforcements
The east gate of Beifeng City burst open with a roar, and amidst the fluttering banners on the city walls, a dark mass of enemy cavalry surged over the walls like a dam breaking.

Lin Feiyun cleaved the stray arrows with his sword. He saw Cui Yao's silver armor stained with blood, Lord Cheng's clothes torn, and Su Su's long whip breaking into pieces. The group fought and retreated until they reached the blue stone steps of the North Gate.

Bai Wanqing walked on the ground littered with broken arrows, her silver armor splattered with mottled bloodstains. She watched as the enemy's encirclement grew smaller and smaller, and the number of dead and wounded guards increased.

Bai Wanqing quickly gave Cheng Susu, who was not far away, a look, and with a flick of her slender hand, the blue porcelain medicine bottle suddenly exploded in mid-air.

In an instant, a sea of ​​mist enveloped an area of ​​twenty paces.

"Jingcheng, quickly leave with Susu and the others!"

Bai Wanqing used all her strength to push Cui Jingcheng towards the secret passage. His back was burning with pain, and before he could even stand up, Cheng Kailin grabbed his arm and dragged him inside.

The moment the damp, musty smell filled his nostrils, the iron gate slammed shut with a rumble. His last glimpse of Bai Wanqing's figure swept through the crack in the door and vanished in an instant.

"Lord Cheng! Let me go! Wanqing will die! She's really going to die this time!"

Cui Jingcheng roared and clung to the stone wall, tearing off his fingernails.

Cheng Kailin used his arm, clad in an iron wrist guard, to strangle Cui Jingcheng, leaving bloody scratch marks on the bluestone floor. Suddenly, Lord Liu dodged to the side, a flash of cold light from his sleeve, and delivered a swift chop to Cui Jingcheng's neck, silencing him completely.

"Father!" Cheng Susu cried out, her face covered in blood and her eyes red.

Cheng Kailin closed his eyes and slowly said, "Susu, have you forgotten how you promised Wanqing?"

"You want her to die with her eyes open in disgrace?"

Cheng Susu gripped the tattered whip in her hand and forced back her tears.

She didn't forget!
"Susu, promise me that if Beifeng City falls, you will take Jingcheng and leave."

"And what about you?" Cheng Susu suddenly looked at her.

Bai Wanqing gave a pale smile, "I can't leave!"

"The Prince of Huai will not let me go. If I don't die, none of you will escape!"

"How can we leave you alone? Not only can Cui Jingcheng not leave, but I won't leave either!" Cheng Susu pouted like a sulking child.

Bai Wanqing felt a warmth in her heart, "Silly Susu, we're all dead, who will go to the Emperor to claim credit for me!"

Cheng Susu was taken aback, then burst out laughing, "Wanqing, I didn't realize you were such a power-hungry person!"

Scenes flashed through her mind, and Cheng Susu knew how much Bai Wanqing had done to clear the Lin family's name! She couldn't let Wanqing die in vain. She wiped her face hard, and when she looked up again, her eyes were full of determination: "Father, let's go!"

In less than a moment, the fog in the air began to dissipate.

The stench of blood suddenly became overwhelming. Bai Wanqing's back slammed against the slippery stone wall; they had nowhere left to retreat.

Cui Yao and Feng Niang stood in front of her, while Lin Feiyun and a dozen or so wounded Lin family soldiers were still fighting fiercely.

"Mother, Fengniang, I'm sorry!" Bai Wanqing said weakly.

Cui Yao laughed nonchalantly, "Good daughter-in-law, what are you apologizing for? You haven't disgraced the Lin family army!"

"Well done!"

Fengniang's eyes were also red at this moment, "Yes! Madam, we don't regret following you!"

Swords flashed and blood splattered; close combat ensued.

As Bai Wanqing watched three more members of the Lin family army being overwhelmed by the tide of enemy soldiers, she was already prepared to die.

"Woo——"

Suddenly, a bugle call sounded outside the city wall; it was the tune of the Lin family army's charge.

"They're here! They're here!" Lin Feiyun roared with all his might, and threw dozens of enemy soldiers in front of him away.

The rest of the Lin family army also seemed to be injected with chicken blood, their bodies filled with power, and they actually managed to double the size of the gradually shrinking encirclement.

Immediately afterwards, the sounds of battle grew closer and closer, and the enemy troops surrounding them gradually lost their composure.

"What's going on?" The Prince of Huai, who had just been sitting in the carriage looking smug, raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Your Highness, reinforcements have arrived!"

The Prince of Huai glared angrily at the man. With so many soldiers rushing in, couldn't he tell that they were reinforcements?
These people were clearly dressed as soldiers of the Northern Dynasty, so why did they kill his people as soon as they entered the city?

Could it be that Bai Wanqing has even turned the Northern Dynasty against the Communists?
The Prince of Huai suddenly stood up, his eyes blazing with fury.

With so many Northern Dynasty troops, if he were to actually confront the Northern Dynasty head-on, not only would he lose the support of the Northern Dynasty in the future, but even now, he probably wouldn't gain any advantage whatsoever!

"Go quickly and see who's leading them!"

"Send him to see me immediately!" the King of Huai roared.

Before the words were finished, a man leading a group of people ran quickly toward the direction of the Prince of Huai.

The soldiers around the Prince of Huai sensed something was wrong and stepped forward to protect him. But upon closer inspection, the troops opposite did not seem to be there to kill, but rather to escape!
"Your Highness! It's General Luan Hengluan!" one of the men recognized the person approaching and called out loudly.

The Prince of Huai was shocked, but even at this close distance, he recognized him. However, Luan Heng was covered in blood, his armor was gone, and his disheveled hair was stuck to his face. This miserable state made the Prince of Huai hesitate to recognize him!

Moreover, the soldiers behind him were no better off; the Prince of Huai's eyes widened in shock!

"Your Highness!" Luan Heng spotted the Prince of Huai in the carriage at a glance, and then led his men to this place.

The Prince of Huai looked at Luan Heng warily, "General Luan, you know that this is a critical time for me, why did you lead men to injure my soldiers!"

"Is this how you provide the promised reinforcements and support?" The King of Huai's anger was palpable.

Seeing that the Prince of Huai was furious, Luan Heng immediately explained, "Your Highness, there's a misunderstanding!"

"The Northern Dynasty has never broken its alliance with Your Highness, but as you have seen, we have also fallen into the trap of treacherous people."

Looking at the disheveled Luan Heng before him, the Prince of Huai realized that Luan Heng's current state didn't seem like an act. General Luan Heng glanced back, saw no pursuers, and then angrily exclaimed, "It's all that traitor from the Lin family!"

"If he hadn't been holding Lin Yunche's head and making us lower our guard, I wouldn't have almost been killed by them!"

Wait! Whose head?
The Prince of Huai felt a sudden chill run down his spine and shouted, "Whose head are you talking about?"

Luan Heng couldn't understand why the Prince of Huai wasn't concerned about the spies, but instead was questioning people who were already dead!
"Your Highness, it's Lin Yunche! Lin Yunche's head!"

Now, not only the Prince of Huai, but even the soldiers around him looked grim!

"Impossible! Luan Heng, you're talking nonsense!"

"Lin Yunche is currently stationed in Youzhou with his troops, how could he be dead?"

Luan Heng seemed to understand something and said helplessly, "Your Highness, you have probably also fallen for their treacherous scheme."

"What a treacherous plot!"

"Almost everyone in the Northern Dynasty knows about Lin Yunche's affairs!"

"Your Highness, you've mistaken me for someone else!"

"Impossible! I saw Lin Yunche with my own eyes, how could I be mistaken!"

"Your Highness may not know that there is a secret technique in the Northern Dynasty that can change one's appearance, and one of the people Lin Yunche once saved happened to be proficient in this technique."

At this moment, Prince Huai not only felt his head go numb, but he also felt his entire body trembling.

"hateful!"

"hateful!"

Seeing this, Luan Heng said at the right moment, "Your Highness, what are you waiting for!"

"If we wait any longer, Your Highness, your North Wind City will be occupied by the spies of the Lin family army!"

The Prince of Huai felt a chill and turned to look at Beifeng City. He saw that the soldiers in the city were being defeated by the Northern Dynasty army and their previous advantage was about to disappear.

"Men, bring another 30,000 soldiers and attack!"

"No matter who's on the other side, if they're blocking my way, kill them all!"

"Yes!"

Luan Heng finally came to his senses. He looked at the Northern Dynasty army behind him with a fierce gaze.

Meanwhile, in Beifeng City, a masked man led a group of Northern Dynasty soldiers and fiercely stormed into the city center. The masked man moved swiftly and gracefully.

With his jeweled sword flashing and dancing, the surrounding Huai King's army instantly collapsed, clutching their faces.

"General!"

"Don't stop! Head to the North Gate!"

The masked man advanced with unstoppable momentum, leading his men all the way to the North Gate.

At this moment, Lin Feiyun and the people of Linjia Village, who were still engaged in fierce fighting, never expected to see soldiers from the Northern Dynasty here.

But why do these soldiers seem to be helping them kill the Huai King's army?
"Big Brother!" Lin Feiyun called out urgently.

Uncle Lin also narrowed his eyes, looking ahead warily.

The masked man and his men wiped out the Huaiwang Army on the north side. He looked at the Lin family members and Bai Wanqing, who were huddled in a corner, covered in blood, and his pupils contracted slightly.

Uncle Lin thought he was coming to kill Bai Wanqing, and with a roar, he slashed at him with his sword.

Uncle Lin had been fighting for a long time and was already exhausted. This slash was easily blocked by the masked man.

"Uncle, it's me, Big Head!"

Uncle Lin was stunned, then turned around abruptly. Lin Feiyun and Cui Yao suddenly stepped forward and angrily said, "Nonsense! Da Tou has already died in the Northern Dynasty!"

"What is your purpose in impersonating Big Head?"

Just as Cui Yao and Lin Feiyun finished speaking, they heard the woman behind them groan.

Bai Wanqing's mind went blank, and she stared blankly at Cui Yao, "Mother."

Cui Yao lowered her head, her throat tightening, "A few days ago, the Lin family's spies reported back the news."

"Da Tou was killed in the Northern Dynasty, and his head has been offered to the ruler of the Northern Dynasty."

"Wanqing, I didn't tell you because I was afraid of hurting you."

But Bai Wanqing stared blankly at the man not far away, "Mother, my husband is not dead!"

Cui Yao and Lin Feiyun turned their heads at the same time. At this moment, the man had taken off the silver mask on his face, revealing the face they had been longing for day and night.

Cui Yao's eyes reddened instantly. She covered her mouth, wanting to say something, but could only utter indistinct sobs.

Lin Feiyun frowned. "Be careful, it could be a disguise technique."

But before he could finish speaking, Bai Wanqing had already walked towards Lin Yunche. She slowly reached out and touched Lin Yunche's face.

A familiar touch, gentle eyes.

"If you are willing to marry me, I will forgive your mother for saving your life."

Lin Yunche recalled that night when the woman looked at him stubbornly, hoping he would give her a way out.

At that time, he had no idea that he had merely given the woman in front of him a title, but in return, she would protect him with her life.

"Wanqing, I'm late!"
