General Lan quickly put away the paper and pen, grabbed the historian's arm with one hand, pulled him out of the grass, and escorted him down the mountain.

Both of them had weeds on their heads, but they didn't care. They had to go down the mountain to meet the emperor first.

They had heard Ye Qingxue and Yun Xun's conversation clearly.

Of course, they also witnessed Yun Xun's attempt to take Ye Cunsi's head without any explanation when he went up the mountain.

No one knew that Ye Qingxue had already sent Qiu Shen to deliver a message to General Lan, and General Lan had already left the city with the historian.

They didn't know which mountain the battle would take place on, so they slowly searched for it. At first, they couldn't find it, but later General Lan followed Yun Xun's team and quietly went up the mountain, hiding in the bushes while they were fighting.

This success was hard-won!

However, although the historian wrote well, he was not good at running in the mountains. Even with General Lan protecting him and pulling him along, he still fell down in a panic amidst the distant fighting.

General Lan was unable to protect him and could only watch helplessly as the historian rolled down the mountain like a rattan ball.

General Lan: "..."

Yun Xun, who was desperately trying to capture Ye Qingxue, looked up and saw General Lan, as well as the historian rolling down.

He paused for a moment, a clear look of surprise flashing in his eyes. He really hadn't expected that there would be other officials on this mountain besides him, Ye Qingxue and her brother, and Cui Shao!

After realizing what was happening, Yun Xun immediately said, "General Lan and Prince Jing and his wife have always been close. Now that General Lan is here, it's clear they are accomplices of Prince Jing and his wife, plotting a rebellion! Seize them!"

Countless soldiers charged toward General Lan.

General Lan was fearless. After quickly defeating the soldiers who rushed up, he leaped down the mountain and chased after the historian.

But there are also people from Yunxun at the foot of the mountain!

After all that rolling around, the historian was dizzy and his face was covered in blood. After General Lan pulled him up from the ground, he felt like vomiting!

"Have you lost the list of crimes you wrote down?" General Lan asked, protecting him as he did so. "You have to hold on, or we'll all die here today!"

Upon hearing this, the historian suppressed the urge to vomit and obediently hid behind General Lan, forcefully protecting the incriminating evidence in his arms.

Just as General Lan was about to break through the encirclement, the soldiers arranged by Yun Xun chased after him down from the mountain.

For a moment, they had no hope of breaking out!

Moreover, the historian was completely powerless, and General Lan had to protect him. He was slashed several times by a long sword along the way, and even his face was stained with blood.

"It's over!" General Lan thought to himself. "Am I going to die here today? — God, can't you open your eyes and see how miserable we are?!"

"General Lan, you take the list of crimes and rush out, don't worry about me!" The historian took out the written list of crimes from his bosom and forcibly stuffed it into General Lan's arms!

Then, he was about to expose himself to danger, intending to use his own body to protect General Lan as he left.

General Lan's eyes suddenly reddened. On the battlefield, he had never abandoned any of his soldiers!

Moreover, the person in front of him was not one of his soldiers, but merely a historian. If he couldn't even protect this person, what kind of general would he be?

He can't escape alone!

So General Lan turned around and kicked away the soldiers, protected the historian, and pulled him away to run!

But the wounds on my body kept multiplying, and the blood kept flowing, and I still couldn't break through, I couldn't break through!

...

Yun Xun stared at them like an eagle staring at chicks, not taking them seriously, but at the same time having a strong confidence that he could capture them.

He led his men to personally capture General Lan and the historian.

However, Ye Qingxue and Ye Cunsi caught up and blocked his way.

Yun Xun's eyes were wide with rage.

Now he finally understood why Ye Qingxue had said those things to him earlier; her purpose was to make sure the historian and General Lan heard it and then report it to his father.

You still dare to stop him!

Enraged, Yun Xun turned to deal with Ye Cunsi, determined to kill both siblings before he would stop.

His sword aura was like a rainbow, and his killing intent was fierce. Even Ye Cunsi was somewhat unable to defeat him for a while. However, it would not be easy for Yun Xun to kill him quickly.

The two sides fought fiercely, their eyes bloodshot.

Yun Xun gathered all his troops and concentrated them on dealing with Ye Cunsi, seemingly intending to deal with Ye Qingxue after dealing with him—a tactic of defeating them one by one.

Ye Cunsi gradually showed signs of defeat, and Ye Qingxue was isolated on the other side, unable to come to his aid.

Her mind raced, and she said urgently, "Yun Xun, once General Lan enters the palace, your evil deeds will be exposed to the world, and you will be infamous! If you don't stop now, are you waiting for Father to send people to arrest you?"

"Even if Father's men can't arrive in time, Lord Cui will be here soon. If you still try to deal with us siblings, you'll only compound your mistakes. By then, Father won't even have a reason to spare your life!"

Yun Xun replied, "Even if General Lan enters the palace to meet the Emperor and tells Father everything that happened on the mountain, Father will not do anything to me! Besides, I will never allow him to break out!"

He was full of confidence and had a fierce expression as he attacked Ye Cunsi again.

Ye Cunsi was forced to retreat, and Yun Xun thrust his long sword at him. Madam Zhou rushed over from the side, shielding Ye Cunsi and taking the blow herself. She cried out, "Don't hurt my son..."

Ye Cunsi's pupils contracted sharply, and he subconsciously grabbed Madam Zhou's shoulder, but Madam Zhou still slid off his grasp and onto the ground.
