Since he had decided to go against Tian Qiquan, Tian Muyu's original uneasiness and hesitation disappeared.

He brought Jixiang to Ji Rui'an's carriage and said, "Ni Xia stabbed her father-in-law, but she has no idea what to do next. Come and take a look."

As soon as he heard his father was there, Jixiang immediately lifted the curtain and got in the car.

Ni Xia, whose hands were covered in blood, saw Jixiang coming and was like seeing a savior. A bright smile suddenly appeared on her face, which had never changed.

She almost cried with joy, "Miss!"

The ghost doctor was originally worried when he saw the dark purple blood in the abdominal cavity. When he had no idea where to start, he saw Jixiang and felt that he had finally not harmed Jirian's life.

He immediately made room for Jixiang and said, "Jixiang, please take a look at your father. There is so much blood in his abdomen. His internal organs must be injured."

"Ni Xia, gauze!" Jixiang didn't care that the ghost doctor was there. He waved his hand and a medicine box appeared on the side.

Ni Xia opened the box very skillfully, took out gauze and disinfectant and handed them to Jixiang.

There were at least two liters of blood in Jirian's abdominal cavity, and Jixiang had to use up almost all the gauze in the medicine box to drain it all.

Find the bleeding point and suture it first, then disinfect and suture the abdominal cavity.

After doing this, it was already dawn.

Although the ghost doctor was amazed at Jixiang's medical skills and her magical medicine box, he couldn't ask anything because he saw that Jixiang was almost exhausted.

"Ni Xia, I'll watch over here. Take your young lady to change clothes and rest for a while."

Ni Xia nodded and helped Jixiang get off the carriage.

Jixiang was indeed tired. Seeing that Tian Muyu, Xiong Er, Pang Ting and others had already gathered the troops, he didn't even have the energy to say any encouraging words before the march.

She waved to Tian Muyu, signaling them to go first.

"I'll take a break and then I'll catch up. There's no time to lose, you guys go first."

Although Tian Muyu didn't want Jixiang and the children to stay, he was worried that they would be in danger if they really went with him, so he arranged for Guard Li to bring people to guard Jixiang. He, Xiong Er and Pang Ting led a large army to escort Emperor Likang's coffin and set off.

Once the army left, Jixiang and his group seemed much smaller in scope.

Tian Muwei already knew what Jixiang and Tian Muyu were going to do, but he didn't seem worried. He followed the three children's carriage and seemed to be in a much better mood.

"I went to the palace to see your mother." Jixiang leaned close to Tian Muzhen and whispered, "She told you not to worry, she is doing well in the palace."

Tian Muwei's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at Jixiang with surprise.

Jixiang signaled him not to make any noise.

"Your fourth brother has no choice but to do this. The sixth uncle doesn't want us to live, so we can only seek a way to survive on our own. Do you understand this principle?"

Tian Muzhen nodded solemnly, "Sister Wang, you and Fourth Brother can do whatever you want. Although I am not able to help you now, I promise that I will stand by you and Fourth Brother at all times. I have already sent a letter to my grandparents, hoping that they can do their bit to help."

Jixiang touched Tian Muwei's head and was somewhat moved by the child's understanding.

"I promised you that I would protect you and your mother. I will spend my whole life fulfilling this promise."

Tian Muwei relied on Jixiang. Since the day he left the palace, his sister-in-law had become like a mother to him, someone he could rely on and trust.

Because Tian Muyu had already set out with his army, Jixiang did not delay too much. She changed into clean clothes, had a simple breakfast, and then asked Guard Li to lead everyone to set off immediately.

Although it would be dangerous to be too close to Tian Muyu and the others, if she was too far away, she was worried that she would not be by his side when he was in danger, which would put him in greater danger.

She had never had a passionate love affair with this man, but her life had changed since he appeared. With the birth of three babies, the two had been tied together for a long time.

Since fate brought them together, she would protect him.

After all, if children lose their fathers early, they will be laughed at and bullied by their friends.

That was not what Jixiang wanted to see.

So Jixiang and his companions also set off on their journey.

Jixiang did not let Tian Muyu take those surrendered people from the Acropolis Army with her. She kept them with her.

For some reason, Jixiang always had a vague feeling that these people might not really surrender.

"Where is the general of the Acropolis Army? Call him over." Jixiang said to the guard Li beside him while sitting in the carriage.

Guard Li responded and gave the order.

Soon, a man in his thirties in military uniform came on horseback. When he saw Jixiang on the carriage, he saluted and said, "Your subordinate greets the princess."

"What's your name?"

"Zhao Jian."

"Oh, General Zhao, how many people are left in your Acropolis Army now?" Jixiang stared at Zhao Jian.

"3,200 people." Zhao Jian said, "We have a total of 20,000 troops. Excluding those who died in the battle and those who stayed in the area due to injuries, there are only 3,200 people who followed the princess into the city."

Jixiang planned in his mind for a while, then looked at Zhao Jian, "Okay, I understand, you can go back."

After Zhao Jian left, Jixiang immediately took out a dozen bottles from his sleeve and handed them to Guard Li. "Distribute them to the guards. If we really fight with them, we will definitely be outnumbered. Tell everyone, if those Acropolis soldiers behind us have ill intentions, it is better to poison them first."

Guard Li understood immediately and took the bottles.

"Princess, are you worried that they are not sincere in surrendering?"

Jixiang nodded, "This Zhao Jian is not a reliable person. Let the team move slowly, we will keep them at the back, so that if they want to attack the prince, they will be helpless."

Guard Li immediately turned his horse around and went to give instructions to the guards behind him.

Behind the guards were Zhao Jian and his city guards. When he saw Guard Li say a few words to a few guards and then ride his horse to the front and say something to those guards, he looked a little unhappy.

An adjutant beside him also saw it and approached Zhao Jian, "General, the princess seems to have made some arrangements for the guards, but she didn't tell us."

Zhao Jian's face was grim. "We are just their defeated generals, so there is no need to arrange anything for us."

"But didn't you take your brothers to join the prince?"

A malicious sneer appeared on Zhao Jian's lips. "If you want to gain their trust, I'm afraid you have to do something."

Tian Muyu led his army straight to the capital, and the news soon reached the palace.

Following an urgent report from a scout, Tian Qiquan hurried to the hall.

"What did you say? Prince Ning is leading his men towards the south gate of the imperial city?!" He was very surprised. "Is the news true?"

"Your Majesty, the news is correct. We are only twenty miles away from the capital."

Tian Qiquan plopped down on the chair, his expression changing in an instant, and then he shouted, "Call the leaders of the North and South City Imperial Guards to me!"
