a thing.But emotionally, seeing Dong'er and him looking so alike, Fang Jinshiu felt like a wall had been built in her heart. She couldn't convince herself to truly ignore it.She blocked Zongyang at th...Chapter 1146: I Won't Let You Sacrifice in Vain

Fang Jinxiu patted Tanna's arm in consolation.

"Don't worry, since we're here, we won't let them take Ertu away."

Those guards knew of Zongyu's identity, so they stood there and no one dared to lay a hand on him.

The captain of the guard could only step forward and speak.

"My Lord, although you are the martial lord of Daxia, this matter is a conflict between Xixia and Beijang. Your Highness wants to capture the warrior who dared to attack him. This has nothing to do with you, my lord. Please don't obstruct our arrest."

"And we guarantee, as long as they hand over that warrior, we will not lay a finger on anyone else."

Zong Yu coldly looked over, "Go back and tell Hellie to come find me himself if he has the guts."

"Get out!"

The killing intent of Marquis Wuding was not something that these small fry could resist. Some timid ones just trembled at the sight of him, their legs shaking like jelly.

The Battle of Xizhou was renowned throughout the world, and Marquis Wuding had fought countless battles with fewer troops than his opponents, always emerging victorious from seemingly hopeless situations. He single-handedly reversed the tide of battle time and again.

This man is too terrifying, his strength is immeasurable.

The West Xia's guard captain was startled by the roar, taking three involuntary steps back and daring not meet his gaze again.

In the end, he still left in disgrace.

The Northland warriors looked at Zongyu with admiration on their faces.

This is Daxixi's War God, the Martial Marquis Dinghou. He looks different from ordinary people in terms of aura.

These young warriors followed Zong Yu step by step, their faces brimming with admiration.

This scene seeing Taná is both funny and heartbreaking.

If they had a general like Marquis Wu Ding in the northern border, they wouldn't be bullied everywhere. They would finally stand tall before the other three kingdoms.

"Tana, based on what I know of Herllette, he's a man who holds grudges and won't let things go easily."

On Da Xi's territory, they dare not openly confront Ah Yu, so they turned their ire on you.

"And I and Aru can't always be protecting you, there will always be times when we are not around."

"So I thought of a win-win solution, and wanted to invite all of your Northern Border delegation to stay at the Marquis' Mansion."

This way, before the trade meeting ends, he won't dare to do anything to you. Ertugrul and all the warriors can also take their time to heal and prepare for the next round of competition.

"You wouldn't want to return from the Trade Fair empty-handed, would you"

The envoys from the northern border were delighted with Fang Jinshu's proposal and began to chatter excitedly.

"That's excellent. The prince of Xixia will surely come again. We can't always rely on the marquis to bail us out, can we"

"Your Highness, the humble official feels that Madam Zhuge's proposal is excellent."

Besides, given the friendship between us and Daxie, even if the other two countries have objections, Emperor Daxie wouldn't just stand by and do nothing.

After all, if we were all injured by the Xixia people, as the host, Da Xi would suffer a great loss of face if such a thing happened in their capital city.

Taná remained silent. Fang Jinshi knew she was hesitating, while the emissaries grew increasingly impatient.

"Your Highness, it's good news that the Duke and Duchess of Wuding are willing to help us. Why are you hesitant"

"You all know Prince Xi Xia is known for exacting revenge," Tana began. "Since we're all aware he won't let this go easily, shouldn't we avoid staying at the Hou Mansion Wouldn't it be putting the entire Wu Ding Hou family in danger"

And can others protect them for a while, and protect them for a lifetime

If one cannot become strong, they will eventually be trampled and humiliated. You can hide from the first day but not the fifteenth.

Fang Jinshi saw Tanya's thoughts and smiled.

"If you don't want to come, it's fine. Just in case those people from Xixia come again, send someone to Hou Mansion to let me know and I'll have Zhao Huwei bring people over to keep things under control for you."

"Thank you, Jinxiu sister," Tanna said gratefully.

Though both were women, they understood each other deeply. A single glance was enough to convey their thoughts.

Fang Jinshui admires Tanna's backbone and broad mind. When facing problems, the only solution is to strengthen oneself. Relying on others can only bring temporary peace in the end.

The envoys from the northern border simply couldn't understand why Princess wouldn't agree to Lady Hou of Wuding's proposal.

After moving into the Hou Mansion, they no longer had to worry so much. Xixia dared not come to trouble them again, and Lord and Lady Wudinghou could rest easy. Isn't this a happy ending for everyone

After Fang Jinshu and his wife left, Tanna only then turned around, straightened her spine, and spoke.

Our Beijiang warriors are no less skilled than any soldiers in other nations. Hiding under the wings of others is not a solution.

"Wouldn't you rather that when people in the future talk about our northern frontier, they say we are loyal followers of Dayi, who only dare to act like tough guys behind Dayi's back"

As warriors, they were all in their prime, how could they stand to be spoken of in such a way Just thinking about it felt humiliating.

The envoys from the northern frontier also bowed their heads, their faces full of helplessness.

"Your Highness, we wouldn't want to hear such evaluations either, but..."

But their strength is inferior to others, it is also a fact. If they further escalate the conflict with Xixia and anger the King of Xixia, he sends troops to attack Beijang, they are afraid that they will not even last half a month before being destroyed as a nation.

Dah Xi had just gone through a fierce battle and was unlikely to help.

If they have both the ability and the fists to back it up, how could they bear being humiliated and trampled upon, seeking protection under someone else's wings like a turtle hiding its head

But Tana said, "No buts."

She spoke with the gentlest and softest demeanor, yet her determination was firmer than anyone else's.

"Next time the Xixia guards come looking for trouble, don't worry about it so much. Just let loose and fight back."

"Let them all see, the true strength of my Northern Border warriors!"

The emissaries, hearing this decision, looked panicked. They were about to retort to Tanna when a unified roar from their soldiers erupted.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

They were all visibly excited, as if they had been holding back their urge to fight the Xixia guards for a long time.

Adults let them endure it, constantly reminding everyone to prioritize the bigger picture. When faced with the provocation of Xixia guards, they could only passively take the beatings and couldn't fight back.

Such days, the soldiers of Beijiang had long endured.

The princess voiced their sentiments, they would rather die than have their dignity trampled upon.

The envoys were all stunned, for they had caused their warriors to suffer.

At that time, Ertugrul walked out with the help of another warrior.

"Your Highness, you should give the ertú to Xixia."

"This life of mine is merely a threadbare one. I wouldn't want to implicate Your Highness and my brothers, Ertu seeks only one thing from You."

After my death, I beg Your Highness to show kindness to my family.

"My mother, she's getting older. If she asks how I died, Your Highness, please tell her a nice story about my death, something that doesn't sound so pathetic."

Tana's eyes welled up, and she walked up to Ertu.

"You won't die, Ertu."

"I've made my decision. I won't hand you over."

"Recover from your injuries and prepare for the next battle. Even if we must die, our sons of Beijiang can only sacrifice on the battlefield. I will not allow your sacrifices to be in vain."mpletely didn't take the little incident just now seriously. He immediately switched back to his gentle demeanor towards Fang Jinshi."Oh, Miss Fang is so confident"Fang Jinshu politely said, "Let's tr...
