Chapter 103 Capturing a Princess

Of course, it is not as bad as Wang An said. Although it may not have any status in the eyes of the Khan of the Eastern Lu, it can still be exchanged for some gold, silver and treasures.

However, Xiao Yu'er did not look angry at all. Instead, she nodded in agreement and said, "We women in Donglu are indeed just tools for men to vent and give birth. But because of this, if you agree to my conditions, perhaps a catastrophe can be avoided."

Wang An frowned and said, "Are you trying to intimidate me?"

Xiao Yu'er shook her head and pointed to the west, saying, "The Western Khan is following me with a group of soldiers. He has many elite soldiers and generals under his command, and their numbers are far greater than the 100 men I have. Although he is not here specifically to attack Jizhou, I believe that if he passes by Baicheng, he will be willing to capture a vassal king of Daliang."

"But if you take me hostage in exchange, maybe he will let you go."

Xiao Yuer's words immediately caused panic on the city wall, especially among the soldiers of Jizhou Guard. When they heard that it was the Western Lu Khan who led the troops personally, they became even more terrified.

It is no wonder that they are timid, because the reputation of the Western Tartars is one of the most notorious even among the barbarians in the world.

The most important thing is that the Western Tartars’ fighting power is even stronger than that of the Eastern Tartars.

Wang An frowned and said, "Nonsense! How could the Western Khan personally lead his troops to invade Jizhou for no reason?"

Even in previous years when the horses were fat and the autumn harvest was in full swing, the Western and Eastern Tartars would invade Jizhou as a routine, but the Khans of both sides had never led their troops in person.

What's more, there are still two months before the autumn harvest.

Xiao Yuer smiled sadly and explained, "Because the Western Khan wants to possess me!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the soldiers brought by Xiao Yuer showed expressions of shame and frustration.

As the princess's guards, they are unable to protect her safety, which is a shame for them.

The white-haired general screamed at the top of his lungs, "Princess, let us die with you!"

The rest of the Donglu soldiers also shouted, "Please let us follow you and die in battle!"

However, facing the excited subordinates, Xiao Yu'er stopped them with a very serious face: "You are the last spark of our Yehe tribe. I can't watch you die in my hands!"

"If you still treat me as a princess, then leave here and find a place where there is no one, and pass on the glory of our Yehe tribe forever!"

The Donglu warriors burst into tears, and the scene was truly touching.

However, Wang An and others had no sympathy at all and were still immersed in the information confessed by Xiao Yuer.

A moment later, Wang An angrily said, "Asshole, that means the Western Tartar Army was led here by you!"

Xiao Yuer showed a trace of shame on her face, and said guiltily: "This is not my intention, but... I can apologize to you!"

Wang An's brows almost wrinkled together. All his plans had only been carried out for about one-third, but the powerful enemy was already at his doorstep. With Jizhou's current situation, it could still withstand small-scale attacks, but if the Khan of the Western Lu led the troops himself, the number of the enemy would definitely not be small, and Jizhou would definitely not be able to withstand it with its current situation.

Wang An thought for a long time, and suddenly said: "If you want me to let them go, it's okay, but I want them to stay in Baicheng as guests for a while!"

Xiao Yu'er was immediately annoyed and said, "Impossible, I am willing to surrender to you as a prisoner in exchange for their lives. If you don't agree, I would rather die in battle..."

"You have no room to refuse!" As Wang An finished speaking, the city gate opened again, and thousands of Jizhou guards rushed out, surrounding Xiao Yu'er and the others. "You..." Seeing the current situation, Xiao Yu'er was immediately angry and even regretted that she should have led everyone to die on the battlefield just now, so as to avoid being insulted now.

However, Wang An, who was starting from the beginning, said again: "You can rest assured that I always keep my word."

"As long as the Western Tartars withdraw their troops, I will definitely let them go, and you have no choice now!"

Xiao Yuer glanced at the aggressive Jizhou guards around her and could only lower her head helplessly.

…………

The government office, the prison.

Seeing the loyal soldiers who followed her father Khan to conquer the world all being disarmed one by one, in the prison of the Jinnan Dynasty, Xiao Yu'er's face turned pale. Suddenly, she turned her head to look at Wang An, and said with a burning gaze: "Prince of the Southern Dynasty, I hope you are a man who keeps your word!"

Wang An chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I never lie to women!"

"But now that things have come to this, can you take off your veil, Princess?"

It turned out that Xiao Yuer had been wearing a veil on her face, making it impossible to see her appearance clearly. Until this time, Wang An still didn't know what the Eastern Tartar woman in front of him looked like.

Moreover, he heard that the Western Lu Khan's army went out to fight just to capture the woman in front of him, which made Wang An even more curious about Xiao Yuer's appearance.

Seeing this, Ah Yu on the side immediately scolded: "Southern Dynasty people, how dare you be rude to my princess!"

Wang An rolled his eyes speechlessly at this loyal dog who was protecting his master, and said, "Girl, you should provide evidence when you speak. Which eye of yours saw me being rude to your princess?"

"I just want to see his true appearance. This is something everyone would be curious about, right?"

A Yu opened her mouth as if she was about to scold, but was stopped by Xiao Yuer.

"Ayu, don't be rude. Now we are the fish and the other side is the knife. Besides, it's just a skin. If Nan Chao wants to see it, let him see it."

Xiao Yuer said this and took off the veil on her face.

Wang An was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but secretly marvel that there was such a beautiful woman in the world.

No wonder even the Khan of the Western Lu, who was known as the beast among men, led his troops to try to snatch the woman in front of him.

If Wang An had not seen too many natural or artificial beauties in various media in his previous life, he might not have been able to control his desire to possess the woman in front of him.

When Xiao Yuer saw Wang An's dazed expression, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but it disappeared in the next second and was replaced by surprise.

Wang An was stunned for a moment, then his eyes regained clarity and he said, "I am considering that you are a princess, so I cannot put you in jail. I will arrange for you to live in the backyard of the government office. I hope you can respect yourself and not cause any unpleasant things."

After saying that, Wang An made a gesture of invitation.
