Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain
Chapter 583: To be unscathed
"Let's go." While the dust was still settling, Xiao Zhan picked up Jiang Xue and ordered them to retreat.
In the blink of an eye, they disappeared.
"What's going on? How did they get away?" Bahai rushed down from the tower in panic after seeing Jiang Xue and the others disappear, and yelled at Wu Mengchuan. But Wu Mengchuan just glared at him coldly, and that majesty made Bahai shut up immediately.
Ignoring Bahai's angry glare, Wu Mengchuan looked in the direction where Jiang Xue left for a long time, then turned around and returned to the royal capital.
"Ahem..." In a secluded cabin, Jiang Xue finally got a rest.
As the acupuncture points on her body were unblocked and with the help of Xiao Zhan's infusion of true energy, the surging breath in her body gradually subsided.
After drinking some water, her dry throat felt much better.
"What did General Wu give you?" When she was fighting with Wu Mengchuan just now, she noticed that something seemed to be stuffed into Xiao Zhan's hands.
"Tiger Tally." Xiao Zhan opened his palm, and an exquisite tiger talisman lay there quietly.
Wu Mengchuan did not betray.
The moment he fought with Wu Mengchuan, he realized that Wu Mengchuan's so-called rebellion was just a cover.
Jiang Xue nodded, she had guessed it long ago.
If General Wu really wanted to deal with her, he only needed to give an order and the 100,000-strong army would surround her tightly, without him having to go into battle himself.
She took the tiger talisman handed to her by Xiao Zhan and her fingertips slid across it lightly.
Suddenly, she noticed some unusual carvings on the back of the tiger talisman.
"What is this?" she asked in confusion. Turning the tiger talisman over, she could vaguely see the words "prison" carved on it.
This made her frown: the prison was a place specially used to imprison the royal family. Obviously, her brother was imprisoned there.
"So, Jiang Chen is still alive." Xiao Zhan knew the location of the prison.
Since Wu Mengchuan revealed this information, it at least shows that Jiang Chen is currently safe and sound.
From this point of view, it's good news.
"Yes." Jiang Xue nodded in agreement. "General Wu gave me the tiger talisman because he wanted me to lead the Tieyun Army into the palace to rescue my brother."
The reason why Bahai did not dare to attack his brother was probably because he was worried about the strength of the Tieyun Army.
Then, she would take advantage of this and make the other party's most feared thing happen.
Time is running out. Although my brother's life is safe for the time being, every moment of delay will cause him to suffer more. We must act quickly!
On the same night, in front of Mo Tian, who was extremely anxious after learning that Jiang Chen was trapped, someone suddenly broke into the military camp and reported: "Commander-in-chief, someone outside wants to see you!"
At this time, Mo Tian was worrying about how to rescue Jiang Chen and didn't care who came.
"Who are you?" he asked.
Jiang Xue took off her veil: "Mo Tian, it's me."
"What? The entire Tieyun Army is out?" Upon hearing the news, one of Bahai's generals was so shocked that he almost jumped up. "Who gave them the courage?"
Late at night, the deputy general hurriedly reported that the three formations of the Tieyun Army, led by Mo Tian, had assembled and were heading towards the palace.
The dark team was approaching step by step like dark clouds in the night.
"Sir, we must tell Lord Bahai immediately." The deputy general suggested anxiously.
There are 300,000 troops! Once they break into the palace, those who have imprisoned the emperor will probably be doomed to death.
"Are you crazy?" The general slapped the deputy general so hard that he saw stars in front of his eyes. "My mission is to monitor the Tieyun Army, but now you want me to expose my weaknesses?"
He knew Bahai's temper. If he was found to have failed to guard properly, he would be the first to suffer.
"Then what should we do?" the deputy general asked, covering his face with his hands, his voice trembling slightly.
"What should we do? Immediately dispatch troops to the gate of the palace and prepare for battle. Also, call those civil servants who are familiar with the palace rules. Let these nerds keep an eye on the Tieyun Army. As long as they violate the rules, we will have an excuse to deal with them.
Since the Tieyun Army is the most particular about royal etiquette and laws, we will use this reason to convict them."
The general became more and more proud as he spoke, as if victory was already in sight.
"Yes, sir!" The deputy general acted quickly and followed the plan.
At the same time, in the secret passage leading to the prison, Si Ruochen and Mo Rui were moving forward.
"Are you sure this is the right road?" Si Ruochen looked around in confusion, feeling as if he had returned to the starting point.
"Don't worry, we're almost there." Murray pointed to a secret door not far away.
The secret passage was complicated, but Murray had prepared for it and marked every fork in the road to prevent getting lost.
"Is it really just behind there?" Si Ruochen approached the secret door, raising his eyebrows slightly.
Just as he was about to touch the mechanism, Murray suddenly grabbed his hand and signaled for silence.
Then, Murray approached Si Ruochen, gently pulled him towards him, and made a gesture of silence.
Feeling the other party's actions, Si Ruochen felt an inexplicable sense of trust in his heart.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. He didn't expect that he would eventually be defeated by a man.
If Master knew about this, how would he react?
Behind the secret door, Jiang Chen sat in the cold cell, covered in scars, resting with his eyes closed.
Despite his serious injuries, his innate noble temperament could not be concealed.
"Who made him suffer the punishment?" A deep voice came from the shadows, making Jiang Chen's heart tremble.
He had heard this voice for two years. Even though it was only one sentence and the tone became deeper, he immediately recognized it as Shangguan Jin's voice.
"Prince Beixi, please calm down." Ding Tu said in a sharp and cold voice, "You know the character of Emperor Qian best. If you don't give him some pain, I'm afraid this prison won't be able to hold him with his ability."
"Your Highness, in our deal you only asked me to hand over Jiang Chen, but you didn't ask me to leave him unharmed." Bahai argued:
"This guy was rude to me. If I don't teach him a lesson, where will I save face? He's here now. You can take him away if you want, but don't forget to fulfill your promise!"
"Hmph, she's just a little girl who can make muskets. If you want her, just take her. I'll send her to you in a few days." A sneer flashed in Shangguan Jin's eyes.
In fact, he did promise to exchange An Yun for Jiang Chen, but he never guaranteed that An Yun would arrive alive.
Beixi will never easily share the technology of such powerful weapons with other countries to avoid adding threats to itself.
He had sent people to steal many skills from An Yun, so even without her, making muskets would not be a problem.
Rather than letting her become a potential hidden danger, it is better to eliminate her completely.
"Very good, the Prince of Beixi is indeed straightforward!" Bahai thought he had come up with a good plan and was secretly proud of himself.
"By the way, Lord Ba, don't forget the conditions we agreed on." Ding Tu reminded with a hint of warning in his tone.
He had previously agreed to help Bahai seize the throne and get rid of Jiang Xue. In exchange, Bahai had to help him find Si Ruochen.
"Hmph, the person you want has already arrived." Shangguan Jin said coldly, glanced at the secret door in the cell, gently touched the mechanism, and the secret door slowly opened. The figures of Si Ruochen and Mo Rui suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
