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

"This is probably because of Wu Meifeng's matter." Jiang Xue knew it in her heart.

Wu Yungui doted on his younger sister Wu Meifeng extremely, and even helped her marry into Xichen and become a royal concubine.

And now, Wu Meifeng died because of her, so Wu Yungui naturally regarded her as his enemy.

"What about General Meng's situation?" Jiang Xue turned to ask another key person, trying to find a breakthrough.

The general is in command of a large number of troops, and the Meng family's position is obviously more critical than that of the Wu family.

Recently, General Meng has been troubled by one thing - how to get General Bai back to the Tieyun Army.

The Tieyun Army was divided into three elite formations: the first formation was directly commanded by Meng Chunyi and was responsible for defense.

The second formation is led by Mo Tian, ​​who is good at charging into battle.

The third team is led by Bai Yunqi, who is stationed at the border and specializes in support and rescue.

Ever since Bai Yunqi was sent to the frontier three years ago, General Meng has repeatedly requested Jiang Qiyuan to transfer him back, but to no avail.

"Since the Civil War, Commander Meng has argued with Jiang Qiyuan no less than ten times to recall the Third Squadron, but each time he failed." Mo Tian said, "Especially after Beiling invaded again, Commander Meng insisted on recalling Bai Yunqi."

“The Iron Cloud Army has been scattered across the country for three years. Although the third formation’s main responsibility is support, its combat effectiveness is no less than that of the other two formations.

The loss of any formation means the loss of one-third of the force.

Jiang Qiyuan did this because he was obviously afraid that we would gather together and threaten his power."

Xiao Zhan analyzed and turned to Jiang Xue: "General Meng is eager to recall Bai Yunqi, probably because he knows about your return."

Even if Bai Yunqi returns, without the royal blood or the tiger talisman, the Tieyun Army will be difficult to mobilize. "I never told Captain Meng about the princess, how did he know?" Mo Tian was surprised.

"Captain Meng has his own intelligence network." Xiao Zhan smiled. It was this kind of insight that made him famous.

It would be a great honor for him to talk to this wise man.

Jiang Xue looked at the purple butterfly flying in the air and seemed to understand something: "Since you have come to greet me in person, it seems that I have to go on this trip." She whispered to the butterfly.

"Who are you talking to?" Xiao Zhan asked puzzledly.

"Would you like to go together?" She didn't answer, but just smiled and invited him.

"Where are we going?" Although he was puzzled, Xiao Zhan still accepted her invitation.

"Five Poison Sect." As they stood outside the valley, Xiao Zhan sighed as he looked at the mysterious place shrouded in purple mist.

"It is said that the Five Poison Sect has been in seclusion in the mountains ten years ago, and Linglong Pavilion has never been able to find their whereabouts. Today, we are all thanks to you," he said.

"When you enter the Holy Church territory, please be careful with your words and don't anger that important person." Jiang Xue smiled playfully.

"Which important person?" Xiao Zhan became even more curious.

"You'll understand when you see it." As the two were talking, a woman dressed in traditional Miao clothing walked over.

The silver ornaments on her head collided gently with her steps, making a clear and pleasant sound that was particularly beautiful.

Seeing Jiang Xue, the woman nodded slightly and said, "Your Highness, the High Priest has been waiting for a long time."

After saying this, she stepped aside to lead the way, gently raising her arm to signal the two to follow.

Passing through layers of fog, they came to a solemn hall.

On the high seat, a woman was half leaning on a soft couch, playing with a lively black widow spider between her fingers.

"You're here." The woman slowly turned her head, with a hint of laziness in her eyes, like a cat that just woke up from a dream.

When her eyes met Xiao Zhan, her pupils suddenly contracted, "Why are you here too?"

She had not seen this person since Jiang Xue was sent to another country. She did not expect that he would appear with Jiang Xue today.

"Even if you dote on your apprentice, you must have some tolerance. You have a special status, and you shouldn't leave Changle Mountain easily."

As she spoke, the woman stood up and looked at Xiao Zhan with dissatisfaction. These words made Jiang Xue feel very confused. Obviously, these words were not directed at them, so why did Qu Ruchen attack Yun Che so hard?

"High Priest, do you know Yun Che?"

Seeing her familiar eyes, Jiang Xue was even more confused. As the high priest of the Five Poison Sect, Qu Ruchen was of the same generation as his father Jiang Xun and had almost never left the border of Changle. He should not know Xiao Zhan who was born in Beiling.

“Yun Che?” Hearing this name, Qu Ruchen raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Xiao Zhan carefully again.

Although their faces are extremely similar, their temperaments are completely different.

No, not him.

"Xiao Yunjian is gone, and from now on there is only Shen Yunsheng in the world." The face that emerged in her memory was the person who made her remember him all her life, cold and focused.

"High Priest Qu?" Noticing that the other party was staring at Xiao Zhan for a long time, Jiang Xue called softly.

"Oh, sorry, I was distracted for a moment." After confirming that the person in front of him was not who he thought, Qu Ruchen returned to his previous lazy look, slowly sat down, and supported his cheek with his hand.

"What are you doing..." Even after experiencing two reincarnations, Jiang Xue still couldn't fully understand the thoughts of this mysterious woman.

"I recognized the wrong person." Qu Ruchen said, "He looks too much like an old acquaintance of mine."

She pointed at Xiao Zhan and looked at his face carefully, and seemed to have come to a conclusion in her mind.

"Let's not talk about this for now. I called you here today because I have something more important to tell you." Qu Ruchen's tone became serious and he looked at Jiang Xue.

Seeing Qu Ruchen's serious expression, Jiang Xue realized that this matter was of great importance.

"I also want to know what could have made the usually carefree High Priest Qu so serious." Jiang Xue met her gaze and asked.

"Jiang Qiyuan plans to let the other nine countries divide Changle." Qu Ruchen said coldly, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

Hearing this, Jiang Xue frowned: "High Priest Qu, is this true?"

Although she knew that Jiang Qiyuan was a coward, she thought that as a member of the royal family, no matter how incompetent he was, he would not allow the country to be divided. At most, he would cede land and pay compensation to maintain his status.

But obviously, she underestimated the shamelessness of her uncle.

"Now that you have returned to the capital, you should have noticed that there are many foreign bases and spies in the city." Qu Ruchen continued:

"These were all arranged by Jiang Qiyuan himself. And recently, people from Beixi, Yingxia, and Xiyong have been gathering very quickly in the capital. It is said that they are discussing with Jiang Qiyuan how to divide Changle."

"If Changle is divided, Jiang Qiyuan will not be able to keep his position as emperor, which will not be good for him." Jiang Xue analyzed calmly, "He went to great lengths to take away my father's throne, is it just to sell out the country? This doesn't make sense."

"He seized the throne just to prove his ability as a bastard." Qu Ruchen said contemptuously:

"Jiang Xun took good care of him when he was in power, and gave him wealth and honor. But this ungrateful villain betrayed Jiang Xun and colluded with foreign enemies in order to satisfy his self-esteem."
