Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

Since he couldn't stop it, he decided to do his best to protect her.

"Okay." Looking at Xiao Zhan's determined eyes, Jiang Xue responded with a smile and held his hand tightly.

As night fell, dark clouds obscured the moon, and the capital of Changle was shrouded in darkness.

It was a good time for assassination. A dark shadow quickly moved towards the gate of the capital. While the man was waiting, the originally closed gate actually quietly opened a crack!

"Ah!" Before he could take a step forward, a sharp arrow pierced his heart from behind, taking his life instantly.

"Let's go." While the city gate was still open, Jiang Xue and her group quickly entered and dragged the dead spy's body into the city.

Since Jiang Qiyuan has learned of her return, the guards in the capital must have stepped up their vigilance. If she hadn't taken advantage of this opportunity, she would never have easily entered the city. Now she has killed two birds with one stone: she has eliminated the threat around her and successfully sneaked into the capital.

"What's going on? Why is the gate open during curfew?" The patrol team came after hearing the news, and the leader saw the half-open city gate and asked angrily.

"General, please spare my life!" The soldiers guarding the city knelt down and begged for mercy.

The leader gave the order without hesitation: "Take him away! Punish him according to military law!"

The soldiers who were responsible for opening the gate were covered with their mouths and dragged away, and the city gate was immediately closed again. Before leaving, the general's eyes swept coldly over the place where Jiang Xue was hiding.

Soon, the deputy general came to report: "General, the punishment has been carried out. They are all dead. What should we do with their bodies?"

"As per custom, send him to a mass grave," the general replied coldly.

"Yes!"

The night was as dark as ink, with sparse stars. The man ordered in a low voice: "Send more people, guard strictly, and don't let anyone take advantage of the opportunity to break in." As soon as he finished speaking, he led his men into the darkness.

Soon, the number of patrolling soldiers near the city gate doubled.

Jiang Xue and her companions hid in a narrow alley, unable to move.

As soon as they show up, they will be discovered by the densely packed soldiers outside.

Yu Prajna frowned and asked, "Who was that person just now?" She remembered that the person seemed to glance at them. "Did he discover us?"

"He is the Dark Cloud Ghost." Jiang Xue said in a serious tone.

The eldest son of the Wu family and Wu Meifeng's brother.

In the dream, he tried to help her, but was eventually betrayed by his own sister and brutally killed by Jun Li.

I originally thought that I could get his support this time, but judging from the hostile look in his eyes just now, it is obvious that my hope is slim.

"What should we do now? There are more and more patrol soldiers, and they will come here sooner or later." Tieyi stood in front of everyone, ready to fight.

"Don't worry, there will always be a way." Jiang Xue looked up at the city wall, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, as if she was confident.

Suddenly, a sharp cry came from not far away: "Who is it?"

This was followed by a series of hurried footsteps, rushing towards the right side of the city gate.

Before I could get a response, I heard the sound of metal cutting through the air, followed by the thud of heavy bodies falling to the ground.

"What happened?" Everyone was full of doubts.

Yu Prajna was full of doubts. At this moment, Jiang Xue seized the opportunity and whispered, "Go!"

The patrolling soldiers were attracted by the movement on the other side and did not notice that Jiang Xue and the others had quietly slipped away from the alley.

When they reached a safe area, the group stopped. Yu Prajna looked towards the city gate, where the flames were rising to the sky, and asked again, "What happened just now?"

"It's Ding Tu." Xiao Zhan stared at the figure in the firelight and recognized him at a glance.

It was Ding Tu who was taken away by the black python a few days ago!

"A man from Yingxia... why is he here?" Yu Prajna has been in the martial arts world for many years, how could she not have heard of Ding Tu's name. This man is the chief eunuch of the Yingxia Palace, why is he here?

"Maybe he knows that I'm here." Jiang Xue speculated: "It seems that Ying Xia and Chang Le have some shameful dealings."

She only revealed her location to Yu Prajna's men, and the spy only reported to the Changle Palace, so how did Ding Tu know her whereabouts? Unless Ying Xia was in collusion with Changle, there was no explanation.

"Beixi, Yingxia...Haha, Emperor Jiang Qiyuan really opened my eyes." Xiao Zhan sneered.

The Changle Kingdom now seems to have become a target of bullying.

"He has always been only seeking pleasure. As long as it does not threaten his rich life, he is willing to sell anything." Jiang Xue said. At this time, the sound of fighting at the city gate gradually weakened. She took a look and turned to Yu Prajna: "I remember Nangong Yue said that there is a house here."

"Yes, he has come in ahead of time to make arrangements." Yu Prajna nodded and said, "Follow me, let's go there first."

The house was provided by Mo Tian. Even the imperial army did not dare to easily break into the Tieyun Army’s property, so it was relatively safe.

Everyone followed Yu Prajna and moved forward. Before they had gone far, a strong murderous aura attacked them from behind.

"Be careful!" Xiao Zhan pulled Jiang Xue aside, and a hidden weapon coated with poison hit the place where she had just stood.

"Princess Changle, we meet again after a long absence."

Ding Tu was standing not far away in black clothes, with an evil smile on his face and bloodshot eyes, staring at Jiang Xue like a bloodthirsty demon.

"Ding Tu, you're still alive." Jiang Xue frowned at his weird look. The man reeked of blood, which made her feel sick.

"Thank you for your concern, Princess. We will certainly not let you down." Ding Tu approached step by step, leaving bloody footprints on the ground with every step. "I came here this time because I have something in the Princess's hand. I wonder if you can return it to us?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure instantly enlarged, and a pair of blood-red eyes almost stuck to Jiang Xue's face!

boom!

With a muffled sound, Jiang Xue quickly used the bamboo flute to hit the vital point on Ding Tu's chest, causing him to stiffen for a moment. Xiao Zhan then used the scabbard to separate the two of them, and quickly kicked Ding Tu, sending him flying and crashing into the wall!

"Haha, great!" Ding Tu slid down the wall, holding his chest and laughing wildly. He used his internal energy to break through the restriction and spat out a mouthful of blood.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stared at Jiang Xue obsessively: "Princess Changle, you are so charming. I have never been so eager to destroy someone."

This woman made him unable to stop.

In such a critical moment, ordinary people would have been frightened to death, but this woman was not afraid at all and remained incredibly calm.

He really wanted to lift her veil of calm and see what kind of pain and hideousness she would reveal in desperate situations.

"Lord Ding thinks so highly of me, Changle really doesn't deserve it." Jiang Xue looked around and found that this place was quite spacious and not far from the Tieyun Army's training ground.

Xiao Zhan stood in front of Jiang Xue, protecting her, holding Ding Tu's pair of bayonets in his hands: "General Manager Ding went to great lengths to chase him here, just to get the bayonets back. Now they are in my hands, as long as you promise to take the bayonets and leave, I will return them to you."
