Upon hearing this, Jiang Yimian glared at him angrily, "What do you mean it has nothing to do with me? The King of Chu harmed so many people back then, and even caused my father to almost die in the mine. I should have dealt with him."
As for Lu Chengyuan, he is the mother-killer of the person I like, so it has nothing to do with me.
Lu Cijian, why don't you say that you have nothing to do with me?
Lu Cijian paused, and seeing that Jiang Yimian was really angry, he panicked and quickly said, "Mianmian, I didn't mean that. I just didn't want you to get hurt..."
Before he could finish saying the last two words, something soft was pressed against his lips.
Jiang Yimian kissed his lips, silencing his unfinished words.
She didn't want to hear these words at all. Just like Lu Cijian said, she didn't want her to get hurt, and naturally she didn't want the other person to get hurt either.
They had already confirmed their feelings for each other and were supposed to be one, so she didn't want to hear any words that would push their relationship apart again.
Lu Cijian paused for a moment before reaching out to pull the person into his arms and deepen the kiss.
He only let go of Jiang Yimian when she was out of breath.
Their breaths mingled as Lu Cijian stared at the reddened corners of the girl's eyes in his arms, his whole body stiffening for a moment.
His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and his large hand covering her waist tightened unconsciously. After a while, he looked away, held the person in his arms tightly, and whispered, "It's my fault. I won't make Mianmian angry again."
Jiang Yimian snorted, and after the two of them calmed down, she said seriously, "I don't want to hear this kind of talk anymore."
You know perfectly well that I worry about you too, and you know perfectly well that I used to be just like you, doing the same things as murderers. By saying this, you are negating me.
Besides, we're already engaged, just not married yet. Do you understand what I mean?
Jiang Yimian looked up at the person in front of her, her eyes filled with unprecedented seriousness.
She hoped that A-Jian could truly see her as someone he could rely on, not just someone to be protected, but someone he could fight alongside.
The girl spoke earnestly, her eyes still reddening, but her resolve was exceptional.
Lu Cijian nodded and smiled, saying, "My Mianmian is amazing. She's not only someone I like, but also a comrade-in-arms who can fight alongside me."
I'll rely on Mianmian a lot, and ideally, I'd like to stay by her side and live off her.
His Mianmian was never a delicate flower; he always knew that.
Jiang Yimian was taken aback, then laughed out loud. She glanced at the person in front of her before saying, "I'll have to think carefully about whether I can live off a woman. Not just anyone can live off me."
Lu Cijian smiled helplessly, reached out and pinched the other person's cheek, and the gloom in his heart was instantly swept away.
Seeing that he was no longer bothered by it, Jiang Yimian continued to treat Lu Cijian's remaining wounds and asked, "What happened? Are there Lu Chengyuan's men or the King of Chu's men in the suburbs?"
Otherwise, Lu Cijian would not have been trapped or injured.
Lu Cijian said, "It is the King of Chu's troops. He privately raised 40,000 troops. If it weren't for the arrival of the Southern Guard and the Hidden Dragon Guard, the 20,000 troops in the suburbs would probably have been wiped out there as well."
But now, things are much better; we can catch them all in one fell swoop.
If it weren't for the delays caused by the Southern Guards and the Hidden Dragon Guards on the way, they would probably have arrived in the capital much earlier.
But if they had done that, Lu Cijian and the King of Chu would have had some reservations, and they probably wouldn't have acted so decisively today.
Now that both of them have rebelled, we can take them down without any other evidence, which saves us a lot of trouble.
Jiang Yimian was somewhat surprised, "Hidden Dragon Guard? Weren't they said there were fewer than a hundred of them?"
Everyone knows that the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty has the Hidden Dragon Guard, but most people know that the Emperor's Hidden Dragon Guard consists of less than a hundred people, each of whom is proficient in various secret techniques and is extremely powerful. They are born to protect the Emperor's safety.
Because there were not many people, it didn't attract much attention.
But today, tens of thousands of people rushed in. If each of these Qianlong Guards had the ability to fight ten men, they would be killing machines on the battlefield.
Lu Cijian reached out and squeezed Jiang Yimian's hand. Seeing that the wound had been treated, he put on his clothes and said, "Those are just a cover. In reality, every emperor has about 50,000 Hidden Dragon Guards to secretly protect the emperor's safety."
Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has been secretly cultivating the Hidden Dragon Guards, and now it is estimated that there are at least 150,000 of them.
When Xie Jingxuan ascended the throne, the court was in chaos, and his reign as emperor was extremely difficult. In addition to dealing with the people of the Prince of Chu, he also had to deal with some of the people who had supported the Prince of Jin, not to mention the Empress Dowager's people and various treacherous officials in secret.
Xie Jingxuan's life was even more difficult than it had been in the harem, and he could only secretly cultivate his own power.
Fortunately, Prince Jin later left the capital for various reasons, breaking away from the various forces in the court, which gave Xie Jingxuan a chance to catch his breath.
It was around that time that he gradually came to understand Song Bingcheng.
Jiang Yimian stared wide-eyed in surprise, somewhat incredulous. She had thought Xie Jingxuan had nothing, but she never expected him to have such a powerful trump card.
Thinking about it, she asked curiously, "Since His Majesty has been hiding for so long, why did he suddenly dispatch the Hidden Dragon Guard this time?"
And it all happened so coincidentally.
Looking at the curiosity on Jiang Yimian's fair face, Lu Cijian couldn't help but smile. "The reason for dispatching the Hidden Dragon Guards this time is because of the Yan Archery Banquet."
When His Majesty learned that Tuyuhun would be attending, he had already summoned the Qianlong Guard back to the capital.
The reason I'm only arriving now is because I was delayed on the way, and that's why I came to the capital with the Southern Guards.
As luck would have it, when Xie Jingxuan learned that Tuyuhun was coming to the capital, he felt that they were up to no good, so he urgently dispatched 100,000 Qianlong Guards back to the capital. He never expected that he would end up dealing with the Prince of Chu and Lu Chengyuan.
Jiang Yimian then realized what was happening and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "If the Hidden Dragon Guards hadn't returned, Xie Yang and Lu Chengyuan would probably have succeeded this time."
These two have been in the capital for many years, doing a lot of things quietly. It's actually a great thing for Xie Jingxuan to be able to resolve this issue together, and it's also a good thing for the Great Jin Dynasty court.
It's time to thoroughly purge those factions within the imperial court.
Lu Cijian nodded.
The King of Chu and Lu Chengyuan cooperated perfectly this time. One of them caused trouble inside the palace, while the other caused trouble outside the palace. It was obvious that they did it on purpose.
If the Hidden Dragon Guards hadn't returned in time, the final outcome would have been very uncertain.
Jiang Yimian asked curiously, "Has the King of Chu been captured as well?"
Lu Cijian shook his head. "I don't know yet."
He was busy entering the city to provide support at that time, and with so many Qianlong Guards and Southern Guards around, it was impossible for him to let the King of Chu go.
Jiang Yimian frowned immediately, a bad feeling creeping into her heart.
The King of Chu was so cunning that once he decided to rebel, he must have considered all the possible outcomes, and it is very likely that he had even thought of his own escape route.
If they miss this opportunity, it will be difficult for them to capture the King of Chu again in the future.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
