Chapter 470 – I offer you my heart (1)

Most of Yuzhen's princesses had weapon training. Pengyue's weapon of choice was her whip. Pengxin's preferred weapon was her three-ring large sword.

Once, Pengyue had been the most favored princess in Yuzhen. However, after she got married, Yuzhen's queen pa.s.sed away. Yuzhen's king's secret lover became the new queen, and her daughter, Pengxin, became a legitimate princess. In order to make up for the grievances that Pengxin went through in the past, the king acceded to her every request.

After Yuzhen's civil strife ended, war was waged at the borderland to get justice for Pengyue's death. Pengxin didn't hate Pengyue. Even after Pengxin became a princess, she still revered Pengyue. Pengxin actually felt that she had wronged her half-sister. Although she and her mother had been kept a dirty secret, hadn't they also been secretly taking away a portion of the king's favor from Pengyue and her mother?

And so, out of mischievous impulse, she followed the army to the borderlands and partic.i.p.ated in the battles. Riding on a horse and using her awe-inspiring sword, she felt refreshed as she sliced down the enemy soldiers like they were only daikon.

—

“Your Highness, the commander of the enemy army has been sighted on the battlefield. There's bound to be a breach in the boundary lines. Please, you should head back to safety.” A loyal subordinate anxiously tried to persuade her.

“You want this princess just to idly watch as the city's walls are breached?” Pengxin glowered at him, then immediately climbed up the stairs to top of the city's gate tower with her large sword. Looking into the distance, she saw that Great Song's flag was getting increasingly close. From the horizon, there was an unstoppable wave of rising dust as Great Song's army marched forward.

A great battle was on the verge of starting. She went around the loyal subordinates as she went down the city's gate tower. She grabbed a horse's reins and mixed into the troops that were in the outer part of the city. Her martial art skills were extraordinary. No matter what, she would be able to kill a few more enemies, right?

However, to her surprise, the large wave of soldiers hadn't come here to besiege the city. The news of her coming to the borderland had been leaked out. For this battle, the enemy's commander was aiming to capture her.

Dream on! Pengxin swung her large sword fiercely and powerfully. She wouldn't allow anyone to get closer to her.

However, out of nowhere, a man urged his horse forward with his spurs. He grabbed hold of her large sword. In one forceful pull, he directly pulled her onto his horse.

Furious, Pengxin wanted to flip the blade and give him a hard stab. But, when she looked up, she saw his face.

Wah, this was a devastatingly beautiful face that could bring a nation down to its knees. Immediately, the surrounding sound of killing became muted. She seemed to smell the scent of peach blossoms and hear the tranquil sound of a flowing stream.

“Who are you?” She instinctively asked.

The man indifferently said, “Great Song's commander, Ning Mingjie.”

Great Song's commander! Pengxin's eyes brightened. If she killed him, then this war would end, right?

However, when she lowered her head, she saw that this man had already taken away her sword and tied her up when she was dazed over his beauty!

How shameless! He had actually used his beauty to trap her!
