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

"Royal brother." On the other side, Jiang Xue suddenly woke up from her dream, cold sweat broke out all over, she sat up and shouted.

"What happened?" Xiao Zhan, who was beside her, was also awakened. He immediately hugged her in his arms with a frown.

Xiao Zhan was very worried as he had never seen her so frightened before.

"Huh..." Jiang Xue gasped heavily, her eyes wide open, and it took her a long time to calm down.

“Yun Che, we must return to the capital immediately.” Jiang Xue’s tone was filled with unquestionable firmness.

She had just woken up from a nightmare in which her royal brother was covered in blood and in critical condition.

Even though it was just a dream, her heart was heavy with it.

She couldn't wait any longer for news from the spies, she had to set off immediately.

“But what about Yunyan’s medicinal herbs?” Yun Che reminded.

He knew that she came here to cure Yunyan's cold poison. If she left now, wouldn't all her efforts be wasted?

"I have found the location of the medicinal herbs. Just leave one person to collect them." Jiang Xue answered eagerly.

Only when she saw with her own eyes that her brother was safe and sound could she feel at ease. So they quickly packed their bags and galloped on horseback under the cover of night, heading straight for the capital.

They did not stop for three days and three nights, and even their meals were eaten hastily on horseback.

After changing several horses, they finally arrived at the city wall of the royal capital at dusk on the fourth day.

"Shoot!" Suddenly, a cold command came from the city wall, and countless arrows rained down on them.

The two men reacted quickly, pulled the reins hard and changed direction, narrowly avoiding the fatal attack.

The horse neighed continuously because of being frightened, and on the top of the city wall, a figure familiar to Jiang Xue appeared.

"General Wu?" She looked at the white-haired, extremely haggard old man in surprise.

I haven't seen him for just half a month, why does he look so exhausted?

What puzzled her even more was why he ordered arrows to be shot at her?

At this moment, Bahai walked out from behind Wu Mengchuan and looked down at Jiang Xue below with pride: "Haha, Princess Changle, you are really back!"

Jiang Xue looked at everything in front of her in disbelief, wondering, "Bahai? General Wu, what is going on?"

Jiang Xue's eyes moved between Bahai and Wu Mengchuan, and she instantly understood the current situation.

She sighed inwardly, thinking that she had misjudged Wu Mengchuan after all. She didn't expect that he would go down the path of rebellion.

Bahai proudly declared: "General Wu Lao knows the current situation and has seen who is the real ruler of Qian State, so he has joined the Bahai royal family!"

Hearing this, Jiang Xue couldn't help but sneer, "Royal family? Lord Ba, your dream of becoming an emperor is too much, isn't it? You can't even distinguish between dreams and reality?

Back then, your clan was just nomadic slaves who were exiled to the Qian Kingdom and bullied by others. It was my father's kindness that granted you a way to live and pointed out your future. Now, you are so shameless as to call yourself a royal family?

I would like to ask, in the history of my country, what kind of royal family are you? And what title did you inherit?"

These words seemed to reveal the scars that the Bahai clan could not bear to look back on, making him lose face.

Bahai, enraged and humiliated, snatched the bow and arrow from the soldier and shot an arrow at Jiang Xue.

However, the arrow did not hit the target as expected, but deviated from its direction and stuck in Jiang Xue several hundred meters away.

Before Bahai could come to his senses, he felt a sudden pain on his face. He raised his hand and touched it, and found it was covered in blood.

It turned out that the bloody arrow had pierced the soldier behind him, and the soldier fell to the ground and died.

"Bitch." Bahai roared, looking in shock at the fallen soldiers and the archers who suddenly appeared behind Jiang Xue.

These archers seemed to appear out of thin air, and he didn't even notice any movement just now.

"Aim at that bitch! I want her heart to be pierced by thousands of arrows." Bahai roared madly and commanded the archers to aim at Jiang Xue.

However, Wu Mengchuan raised his hand to stop everyone at this time. He said in a deep voice: "Let me do it. I will personally end it with her."

His face was clouded with gloom, and there was a fierce murderous look in his eyes.

Bahai thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I'll leave that bitch to General Wu."

He knew very well that Wu Mengchuan was an extraordinary skilled warrior, and even though he was over sixty years old, he was still as skilled as ever.

It was naturally more than enough for him to deal with Jiang Xue.

Wu Mengchuan didn't even glance at Jiang Xue and walked straight away from the city wall.

As the heavy city gate creaked open slowly, he approached Jiang Xue aggressively, spear in hand.

Xiao Zhan quickly drew his sword, stood in front of Jiang Xue, and protected her behind him.

Facing this veteran on the battlefield, he knew that he must not be careless at all.

“Yun Che.” Jiang Xue patted his shoulder lightly and shook her head, saying, “I will handle this battle.”

This is an internal matter of Qian State, and Xiao Zhan should not be involved in it. Moreover, the opponent is a veteran who has been through many battles. Even if Xiao Zhan is a skilled martial artist, it is hard to say whether he can win against such a master.

Xiao Zhan closed his lips tightly and looked at her gloomily.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful." Jiang Xue understood his concerns.

But Wu Mengchuan's target is herself. Even if Xiao Zhan helps her this time, what will happen next?

Finally, under her insistence, Xiao Zhan let down his guard, but still held the hilt of the sword tightly, ready to act at any time.

He just turned sideways, his eyes fixed on Wu Mengchuan. Once he found that the other party was at a disadvantage to Jiang Xue, he would attack without hesitation.

"General Wu, please make your move." Jiang Xue met Wu Mengchuan's gaze and politely gestured for him to go first.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Mengchuan's spear attacked like lightning.

Fortunately, Jiang Xue reacted quickly and used her Qinggong skills to quickly retreat, deftly avoiding the attack.

Then, she leapt lightly to the tip of the spear, stepped lightly with her toes, and rushed towards Wu Mengchuan like a flying bird!

In the reflection of the setting sun, the golden needle in her hand shone brightly and shot out with two whooshes.

Wu Mengchuan slightly tilted his head to avoid the golden needle, and at the same time retracted his spear and struck Jiang Xue's shoulder hard.

"puff!"

After being hit hard, Jiang Xue felt her blood boiling and blood spurted out of her mouth.

"Ha, General Wu is really good at kung fu." Despite being injured, Jiang Xue still praised him politely.

Seeing this, Bahai on the city wall was so excited that he almost jumped up.

"Xiaoxue." Xiao Zhan quickly rushed forward, caught Jiang Xue steadily, and immediately sealed her acupoints to ensure that her heart meridians were not damaged.

"My apologies, Princess."

Before he finished speaking, Wu Mengchuan appeared in front of them again.

Xiao Zhan drew his sword to block, but this time, Wu Mengchuan did not use his spear, but attacked with his palm.

Since he was holding Jiang Xue in his arms, Xiao Zhan had to give up his sword and fight with his hands.

When the two men fought, Xiao Zhan was slightly surprised and was knocked back several steps by Wu Mengchuan's palm, raising a cloud of dust.
