Chapter 26: No Retribution for Being Furious

At the city gate.

Xiao Junze, dressed in a dragon robe, stood on the city wall with his hands behind his back.

His face was very solemn.

He was thinking that the theft from the national treasury last night was definitely not done by an ordinary person.

Embezzlement...is also unlikely.

After all, so much property disappeared overnight without a trace.

When did such a powerful figure appear in the Dayan Dynasty?

Xiao Junze thought bitterly: When I find him, I will tear him into pieces.

This act was a blatant challenge to the royal authority and contempt for imperial power.

It's really abominable!

Xiao Junze looked at the carriage approaching from afar, and his mood finally improved.

No matter what, the threat posed by Xiao Chengjin has been successfully eliminated.

Whether or not one can successfully reach Jizhou during exile depends on fate.

As for the things in Prince An’s Mansion, put them all into his private vault!

Xiao Junze thought proudly: The late emperor collected so many rare items for him, and in the end, they all returned to his hands.

Ji Yunce and the other two outside the city gate were getting anxious and kept looking inside.

They knew very well that although the emperor's action seemed to show "deep brotherly love", it was actually extremely hypocritical.

What if something bad happens during the exile? What should I do?

The only thing to be thankful for is that his wife has learned some self-defense skills.

God is really watching over us!

The most important thing is that his wife actually has the ability to plan ahead.

From now on, I will listen to my wife in everything.

The carriage stopped outside the city gate.

Jiang Ruo patted Xiao Chengjin's cheek and said jokingly, "The Dog Emperor is about to start acting. Don't miss such a wonderful moment!"

Xiao Chengjin: “….”

You don't even want to find a way to escape, and you still have the mood to watch the show here.

Xiao Junze slowly walked down from the city wall, with a look of disappointment on his face.

When he reached the carriage, he sighed helplessly, his expression showing a hint of heartache and reluctance...

Jiang Ruo: Haha~ When it comes to acting skills, I really have to admit I’m inferior.

Let me meet you, old man with superb acting skills.

Jiang Ruo stood up and jumped down from the carriage lightly.

She walked calmly to Xiao Junze and bowed slightly, "I, a humble woman, pay my respects to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."

You want me to kneel down for you? That's impossible.

They are afraid of you, but I am not.

Hehe! I'm not afraid of anything except zombies!

The people around couldn't help but gasp when they saw Jiang Ruo's fearless look.

They all turned their eyes to that stunning face.

As expected of someone who came from an official compound, his aura is different.

Even though she was suddenly exiled, she did not show any resentment or fear.

Today, some people still say that Princess An is a jinx. They are simply despicable.

In their opinion, she is clearly the lucky star of His Royal Highness Prince An!

Xiao Junze appeared calm on the surface, but he was already furious inside, "No need to be polite!"

This Jiang Ruo is simply impatient with life and always likes to challenge his authority.

His arrogant and domineering appearance is exactly the same as Xiao Chengjin, no wonder the two of them can get together.

"Jiang, even if my brother made a mistake, he is still my brother."

"When you go to Jizhou this time, you must take good care of him, understand?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruo raised the corners of his lips and said in a clear and resonant voice, "Your Majesty, if we encounter...an assassination on the way, that would be another matter."

After hearing Jiang Ruo's insinuating words, Xiao Junze felt a little angry.

He was thinking that he should get rid of this annoying woman immediately. If they continued talking, she might get angry.

By then, the drama he performed in front of the people will be complete.

"Even if Xiao Chengjin is demoted to a commoner, he is still my brother. If anyone dares to persecute him, I will definitely not forgive him."

Xiao Junze was already so angry at Jiang Ruo that he was about to lose his mind. When he said this, there was really a sense of "eagerness to protect his brother" in his words.

"I would like to thank the emperor here." Jiang Ruo showed a contemptuous smile.

Hehe! I just like to test you to the brink of rage.

Come and hit me!

To Xiao Junze, this smile was full of sarcasm and contempt...

Xiao Junze was so angry at Jiang Ruo's arrogance that he clenched his hands, his eyes filled with uncontrollable anger...

He slowly closed his eyes and suppressed the anger in his heart bit by bit.

The warehouse was robbed last night, and today he was provoked by this ignorant woman. He was almost going crazy!

Behind the carriage, Steward Lin and several secret guards looked at their master's domineering appearance and could hardly help but applaud.

The two masters are simply a match made in heaven, even their expressions when they talk back at others are so similar.

Xiao Chengjin, who was in the carriage, felt a little relieved as he listened to the conversation outside.

What kind of woman is this?

If this happened to another woman, she would probably be scared to death!

But she seemed unaffected at all, and was still as infuriating as ever.

Xiao Chengjin pictured Jiang Ruo's voice and appearance, as well as her unrestrained and carefree demeanor when she was arrogant...

When Xiao Junze opened his eyes again, the anger in his eyes had disappeared.

His face turned serious, he flicked his sleeves, and his whole body showed the majesty of an emperor.

"Come here, escort Xiao Chengjin and others to Jizhou safely."

"If they encounter danger along the way, do your best to protect them."

These words are so powerful that people can't help but believe them.

The eight imperial guards, led by Qin Zhen, stepped out simultaneously, knelt on the ground, clasped their fists, and said, "We obey your orders!"

There was nothing unusual on their faces, but they were all complaining in their hearts.

Jizhou is more than a thousand miles away from the capital, and it would take them twenty days to get there at their fastest pace.

Looking at Princess An's appearance, even though she was demoted to a commoner, she doesn't seem like a good person.

If something happens on the way, it will take at least a month to reach Jizhou.

Xiao Junze glanced at Jiang Ruo with an unhappy expression, secretly complaining: The journey to Jizhou is long and difficult, let's see how long you can be arrogant?

Sooner or later, the arrogance in you will be worn away.

"Qin Zhen, you are fully responsible for this trip to Jizhou. You must send them to Jizhou safely. Do you understand?"

When Xiao Junze said this, his eyes flashed, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

Qin Zhen received Xiao Junze's cryptic gaze and immediately understood what he meant. He pretended to be calm and replied, "I will obey your command."

Alas, this job is a hot potato...

Xiao Junze nodded in satisfaction and said in a deep voice, "Everyone get up!"

Jiang Ruo stood aside like an outsider, secretly watching their eye contact.

After saying goodbye "perfectly", Xiao Junze waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

Seeing that the performance had concluded perfectly, Jiang Ruo leaned slightly towards Xiao Junze and said, "I'm leaving!"

After saying that, he turned around and got on the carriage.

The eight imperial guards and Xiao Junze stepped back and took up their positions.

The path of exile begins...
