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

Mo Rui was ordered to take her back, but he couldn't find her. In order to prevent the Mo family from being punished, he had to ask Jiang Xue for help.

Jiang Chen frowned when he heard Cao Zhiqing's name. This name made him think of Bei Xi, Shangguan Jin and the unspeakable past.

"Are you okay, brother?" Seeing Jiang Chen's gloomy face, Jiang Xue asked with concern.

The trauma Shangguan Jin left on Jiang Chen was too deep, and he has not fully recovered until now. In order to reassure his sister, Jiang Chen forced a smile: "Don't worry, I will arrange someone to find her."

On the way out of the palace, Jiang Xue always felt uneasy.

“Yun Che, I have a bad feeling.” She said to the guards beside her.

“You worry too much. Jiang Chen is your brother, so it’s natural for you to care about him. But he is the ruler of a country after all. He has the support of the Tieyun Army, as well as the assistance of Lord Wu and Lord Meng. With the help of Mo Tian, ​​any problem can be easily solved.” Yun Che consoled him.

When Yunyan returned to the princess's mansion, she saw Jiang Xue busy packing her luggage.

"Where are you going?" she asked doubtfully.

Looking at the slightly worried handwriting on the note, Jiang Xue smiled with relief: "I'm going to Yecheng to get a rare medicine to cure your cold poison. I've asked Mo Tian to take care of everything here. Just tell him if you need anything."

The situation in Yecheng has been complicated recently, and Yunyan frowned when she heard about this.

On the way, Fang Rong mentioned that Yecheng seemed to be hiding a lot of secrets, and even the Fang family had some arrangements there.

"There must be something wrong with a place that is coveted by Xiyong, Yingxia and Beixi." Jiang Xue nodded in agreement and decided to investigate it personally.

Before leaving, she stuffed an exquisite dice into Yunyan's hand.

"This is for you, maybe it will be useful." What is so special about this dice?

Yunyan played with the dice carefully, and under Jiang Xue's guidance, she finally discovered the secret.

"I'll arrange for some people to stay here. In case of emergency, you just need to hand the dice to them. They will quickly convey the news to me."

In this way, even if she was not in Qian Kingdom, Yunyan could help her keep an eye on the movements in the royal capital.

Yunyan nodded in agreement and carefully put the dice away.

At this time, Xiao Zhan walked into the room, walked straight to Jiang Xue, gently embraced her in his arms, and kissed her lightly on the forehead.

Jiang Xue patted Xiao Zhan's shoulder gently to remind him that there was someone beside him. But she did not leave his arms, but snuggled closer to him.

Seeing the two of them being so close, Yunyan couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Suddenly, a vague memory emerged: on the night of Chu Jingming's wedding, she was heartbroken and drunk.

Afterwards, I seemed to be surrounded by a familiar smell, and his words were still echoing in my ears...wait for me.

Did this really happen, or was it just my imagination?

Sometimes even she herself couldn't tell the difference. But since then, she knew that once she fell in love, it would be hard to turn back.

However, this realization does not alleviate the pain in my heart.

"Let's go." After packing up, Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan left the princess's mansion hand in hand.

Please be careful on the road.

Yunyan blessed them silently and watched them go away.

When she turned around, she seemed to see a dark shadow flash by. She looked carefully, but found nothing. Perhaps it was an illusion caused by the lack of rest recently, she rubbed her temple.

She yawned, fatigue overcoming her heart, and soon after closing the door, she fell into a deep sleep.

"There seem to be more people on this path than usual." In order to save time, they deliberately chose a shortcut this time. They didn't even use a carriage and rode their horses forward at full speed.

Looking around, Jiang Xue vaguely felt an unusual atmosphere around her.

There was a hint of danger in this aura, and it was not far away from them.

She held the reins tightly, gently pulled the horse's head, and slowed down. She turned to Xiao Zhan and said, "There are indeed more people here."

Following her gaze, Xiao Zhan also looked around and finally locked onto a passerby. "I never thought that the young general of the Wu family would condescend to come to this country road to do business."

There was sarcasm in his words, and he then used the hilt of his sword to lightly knock the hat off a peddler's head.

The face under the bamboo hat was Wu Yungui. After his disguise was exposed, the pedestrians around him drew their weapons and surrounded Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan.

It turned out that these people were Wu Yungui's confidants who had followed him for many years, and the purpose of their trip was to intercept Jiang Xue on this remote path.

"Young General Wu is not in the royal capital to guard the city, but has come here. Isn't he afraid of being reported and charged with dereliction of duty?" Jiang Xue pulled the reins and stopped the horse, looking down at the crowd around him, and finally his eyes fell on Wu Yun.

"Stop talking nonsense." Wu Yungui's eyes were full of murderous intent. He slowly drew out his sword and pointed it at Jiang Xue. "Today I want you to pay for my sister's life."

"Wu Yungui, are you really that stupid?" Jiang Xue narrowed her eyes, her gaze as sharp as a knife.

"You should know that Wu Meifeng is no longer a member of your Wu family. You attacked me for someone who has nothing to do with you. This is a serious crime. Aren't you afraid of implicating your family?"

"Even so, she is still my sister, and that will never change. If you kill her, you must pay the price for it. Why can you live well while my sister must die? This is not fair."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Yungui jumped up and slashed at Jiang Xue with his sword.

"Fair?" Jiang Xue sneered and faced the sword that was about to chop down without fear.

With a "clang" sound, the two swords collided, and Xiao Zhan suppressed Wu Yungui with lightning speed.

In an instant, Wu Yungui was forced back and fell to the ground.

At the same time, those followers were subdued by the Linglong Pavilion masters hiding in the dark and were forced to kneel on the ground.

"You're talking to me about fairness?" Jiang Xue dismounted, walked towards Wu Yungui, kicked his sword away, lowered her head and said in a deep voice: "Yes, all lives are equal, why should we distinguish between life and death? I also want to ask you this question, on the battlefield, what right do you have to decide the life and death of others?"

"On the battlefield, it's a fight of life and death. If we don't cut off the enemy's head, we will be destroyed." Wu Yungui's voice was firm and powerful.

"This principle doesn't just apply on the battlefield. Wu Meifeng and I are irreconcilable. If I don't strike first, I will be the one to fall.

I am a human being, so I naturally cherish my life. Between her and me, whoever chooses to live will choose to live. If I die, will the Major General seek justice for me? "

"You are talking about heresy. Life for life, justice is clear. You killed my sister, so you should pay with your life."

Wu Yungui was furious. He stood up suddenly and grabbed Jiang Xue's throat with his fingers like eagle claws: "Die!"
