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

"Uh……"

But before his hand touched Jiang Xue, it suddenly felt empty, followed by a muffled sound.

Looking down, he saw his palm rolling into the mud, blood gushing out like a fountain, splashing all over his face.

"are you OK?"

Xiao Zhan gently shook off the blood on the tip of the sword, while protecting Jiang Xue and letting her lean on his arms.

"It's okay." Jiang Xue replied, bending down to pick up Wu Yungui's hand on the ground and handed it to him, saying: "Your wound is still fresh. Find a good doctor to connect it within three hours. This hand may still be usable."

Enduring the severe pain, Wu Yungui took back his severed hand and said through gritted teeth: "I will definitely take your life again."

"As long as you have the ability." Jiang Xue responded with a sneer.

If it weren't for General Wu, she would have gotten rid of this person who kept causing trouble for her long ago.

"Retreat!" Wu Yungui roared and fled the scene in a panic with the remaining troops.

"Sir, are you just going to let them go like that?" a secret guard asked doubtfully.

Letting a tiger go back into the mountains will eventually cause hidden dangers, so it is better to take advantage of the opportunity to resolve it.

"Don't worry, just follow them."

Xiao Zhan sheathed his sword and said in a deep voice, "The news that Xiaoxue went to Yecheng has not been leaked. For Wu Yungui to know about it, someone must have tipped him off. Let's investigate and find out who is behind this."

"Prince Gong is actually colluding with Linglong Pavilion? If this matter is reported to Emperor Beiling, he will surely be very pleased." Ding Tu raised the corner of his mouth slightly after hearing the information. It seems that Wu Yungui is still of some use.

"Sir, General Wu's hand was cut off by Prince Gong. I hope you can find a skilled doctor."

"Doctor? Where can we find a doctor in this wilderness? If you are not as skilled as others, you should suffer the consequences. I am not his subordinate, so why should I obey his orders?" Ding Tu turned and left, ignoring Wu Yungui's request.

At this moment, Wu Yungui was curled up in a shabby thatched hut, blood gushing out, and his life was in danger.

"Major General..."

Cao Zhiqing was holding a basin of clear water, wearing coarse cloth clothes, dressed like a man, and mingled with Wu Yungui's guards.

"Zhiqing..." Wu Yungui endured the pain and looked at her.

She gently pulled his broken arm over and carefully cleaned the wound. "Major General, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have suffered this."

After treating the wound, she tore off a corner of her clothes to bandage him: "There are no medicines or first aid supplies here, so this is the only way."

"It's okay, that's good." Wu Yungui responded softly.

He had been attracted to her since he first saw her.

Especially when he learned that she also lost her relatives because of Jiang Xue, Wu Yungui became more convinced that she was his destined person.

Therefore, after Jiang Qiyuan passed away, he specially arranged for someone to bring Cao Zhiqing to his side and keep her by his side as a concubine.

Day after day, her tenderness and thoughtfulness made him more and more obsessed, and he tried his best to satisfy her whatever she wanted.

The plan to intercept Jiang Xue this time was also proposed by her.

Because he was eager to avenge Wu Meifeng, when Cao Zhiqing proposed this idea, he agreed without hesitation.

"Don't blame yourself too much. This was also my choice." Seeing her face full of guilt, Wu Yungui comforted her and gently stroked her face.

"Drink some water, your lips are cracked." Cao Zhiqing handed him a glass of water and fed him.

But at that moment, a cold light flashed in her eyes.

As soon as Wu Yungui swallowed a mouthful of water, he felt severe pain in his abdomen, and then blood gushed out of his mouth.

He looked at Cao Zhiqing in disbelief, his face distorted. He tried to breathe but failed. Finally, he fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and stopped breathing.

The moment Wu Yungui fell, Cao Zhiqing quickly moved away and watched the last moment of his life coldly.

After the bubbles caused by the venom disappeared, she shouted for help: "Hurry up, the young general was injured by Princess Changle and is dying."

The guards outside the door heard the noise and rushed in, carrying the body away in a hurry.

During the whole process, Cao Zhiqing just stood aside and did not help.

Jiang Xue, the news of Wu Yungui's death has been reported back to the Wu family. I want to see if Wu Mengchuan still dares to stand on your side!

After several days of non-stop travel, Jiang Xue and her companions finally arrived in Yecheng.

But as soon as they stepped into the city gate, they sensed a strange atmosphere.

The crowd around them stared at them with hostility, as if ready to pounce at any moment.

"Is it her?" Someone pointed at Jiang Xue and asked his companion, who took out a portrait for comparison and nodded in confirmation.

"Catch them!" At the command, the crowd rushed in like a tide.

Faced with the sudden attack, Xiao Zhan reacted quickly, kicked the horse in the belly, and rode out of the encirclement with Jiang Xue.

Everyone panicked and dodged the galloping horse, allowing the two men to break free.

After escaping to safety, the two stopped to catch their breath.

"It seems that my portrait has been circulated among these people." Jiang Xue frowned and said, "The person who revealed my whereabouts obviously does not intend to let me leave alive."

"The purpose of spreading your portrait is to leave you no place to hide." Xiao Zhan explained: "And those people just now looked like ordinary people. We can't do anything to them."

The newly enthroned Jiang Chen needs to establish a good image. If he harms the people, his rule will be threatened.

"Why do these people hate me so much? I have never set foot here, and I have never done anything to let them down." Jiang Xue was confused.

"Let's find a place to settle down first. I'll send someone to check it out." Xiao Zhan suggested.

"My royal brother has left me a place to live. It's not far from here." Jiang Xue pointed to a remote alley ahead and pulled Xiao Zhan in.

Just as the two of them walked into a house, a voice rang out: "Hey, hey, hey, this is Lord Ba's residence, who are you and why are you trespassing?"

As soon as Jiang Xue opened the door, a man with a cunning look hurried over.

"Master Ba?" he asked.

Jiang Xue raised her eyebrows slightly and sneered in her heart. There is a symbol of the Qian Kingdom royal family on the wall of this mansion, which means it is royal property. How did it become Lord Bahai's territory?

"We heard that Princess Changle will be visiting Yecheng. She is coming here on the orders of Lord Bahai." Xiao Zhan stepped forward, stood in front of Jiang Xue, and explained gently.

The people had already recognized Jiang Xue, and it was inconvenient for her to face this man directly.

Upon hearing Bahai's name, the man's attitude immediately became respectful. "So you are Lord Ba's subordinate. I am so sorry. If I had known this, I would never have stopped you."

"Because the princess is coming, we are keeping a low profile." Xiao Zhan continued, and asked tentatively: "There was some movement at the city gate just now, could it be that the princess has arrived?"

The man seemed to know something, so Xiao Zhan took the opportunity to ask. "Yes, the people above are looking forward to the princess's arrival. They hope to divert the public's attention and buy more time for the officials to deal with the matter."
