Chapter 598 I am from the Rouan tribe
It was midnight, and the summer breeze was chilly. Xiao Jiuyue was wearing a black nightgown, her hair tied up like a man, a loose black robe, and a hat that covered most of her face.
"Princess, you must be careful." Luo Kui wished she could go there herself.
"Don't worry." Xiao Jiuyue, escorted by Dong Gui, Xue Ren and Guo Sheng, went directly to the place agreed with General Qin.
In the dark and deep woods, there were occasional unknown bird calls. Dong Gui tightly protected Xiao Jiuyue's side, fearing that she would fall accidentally.
"Don't worry." Xiao Jiuyue raised her lips slightly, and her hand fell on her abdomen. The child was hers and Jun Lie's. No matter what, she would protect the child and would not take risks with herself and the child.
After arriving at the destination safely, Qin Tao's pupils shrank slightly when he saw the pregnant Xiao Jiuyue. The princess was pregnant and she actually came to Jiashui City!
"General Qin, to cut to the chase, what is the current situation? You're camped here, why don't you destroy the Xijiang soldiers? Does the emperor really believe that Jun Lie would collude with the enemy and rebel?"
Xiao Jiuyue asked a series of questions.
Qin Tao collected his thoughts, suppressed the shock in his heart, and said, "Princess, the situation is very bad now!"
Qin Tao knew Xiao Jiuyue was worried, so he spoke quickly and clearly: "The letter sent by Prince Duan contained correspondence between Prince Ling and the Xijiang soldiers. Jiashui City was captured. When General Wang and I arrived, the Xijiang flag had already been raised on Jiashui City!"
"Letters can be forged. If there really is a letter, it's not from the prince." Xiao Jiuyue said without thinking, "It is absolutely impossible for the prince to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason!"
"I also believe that it's impossible for the prince, but we have all read the letter, and it is indeed in the prince's handwriting." Qin Tao took a deep breath and said, "However, Marquis Xiao raised a doubt, so the emperor sent me and General Wang together."
"My father?" When Xiao Jiuyue heard the name of Marquis Xiao, she immediately thought of her biological father. Her biological father must be very anxious about this matter, right?
"Yes, the Marquis said that when the Xijiang soldiers rose up, the prince followed the emperor's order to go to Jiashui City. If he really colluded with the Xijiang soldiers, it should be Prince Duan." Qin Tao's words made Xiao Jiuyue puzzled and asked, "Your Majesty, do you believe it?"
"My Lord, I have one more thing to say. What does your Lordship want?"
Qin Tao's eyes were filled with admiration as he said, "With just one word from the Marquis, the prince has almost turned the tide for the prince. Over the years, the prince has either been collecting herbs for the Queen Mother or farming in Hongdu, but he has never participated in factional disputes!"
"Even the Crown Prince spoke for the prince, so the emperor sent me here again."
Qin Tao's words comforted Xiao Jiuyue. At least, the emperor didn't directly convict Jun Lie. She asked, "So you've been waiting here?"
"General Wang is worried that the Xijiang soldiers are up to something." Qin Tao had barely finished speaking when Xiao Jiuyue frowned. "The prince is trapped in Jiashui City, and instead of rescuing him, you're worried about the Xijiang soldiers' trickery?"
Xiao Jiuyue took a deep breath and told herself to stay calm. She gently stroked her swollen belly, feeling the little star stirring restlessly in her stomach. She slowly calmed down: "Are you going to keep waiting like this?"
"Princess, it's not that I'm unwilling to wait, but spies have reported unusual movements by the Xijiang troops. If they attack us from both sides, not only will we be unable to rescue the prince, but we will also be completely annihilated!"
Qin Tao tried hard to explain, saying, "I've already sent people to investigate and called for reinforcements."
"General Qin, have you contacted the prince?" Xiao Jiuyue didn't want to vent his anger on Qin Tao. He was just a small general. Compared with General Wang, he really had no power.
"Not yet." Qin Tao shook his head. "The Xijiang soldiers have surrounded the prince and his men in the center of the city. It's very difficult to enter the city and contact the prince!"
"There is always a way out. There will always be a chance." Xiao Jiuyue got the answer he wanted from Qin Tao. After saying goodbye to Qin Tao, he returned to where he had set up camp and went to sleep.
She is not alone now. She needs to sleep and take care of herself so that she can disguise herself as a traveling doctor and go into the city tomorrow!
Jun Lie, wait one more day, no, wait one more night, and she will bring people to rescue him!
…
Jiashui City, Qingshui Street.
The deserted streets only have houses that have been burned down to the point where only a frame remains, which shows the former prosperity.
"Prince Ling, you actually dare to attend the meeting alone?"
When Zhao Xu, the Second Prince of Xijiang, saw the bedraggled Prince Ling, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. He couldn't hide his smug smile. "Prince Ling, you're a prince, but you're dressing up like a beggar. Why bother?"
"As long as you are willing to submit to me, how about I make you the King of Freedom? Then we can share the world together!" The second prince of Xijiang had just conquered a city and he was already dreaming of becoming the emperor!
As long as he becomes the emperor of Xijiang Kingdom, how many beauties can he want in the future?
"Heh." Jun Lie sneered, seemingly mocking the Second Prince of Xijiang: "I'm the Third Prince, so why should I submit to you? Share the world with you? Do you deserve it?"
"If Xijiang has an emperor like you, the good days of the people of Xijiang will be over." Jun Lie stood there casually, the wind blowing his long hair. His calmness made the second prince of Xijiang hesitate.
Is this really a fraud?
It's impossible. There is no one around Jun Lie. There is no one around him, including his guards and the people of Jiashui City.
Zhao Xu looked around suspiciously, thinking of the people he had secretly hidden beforehand, and suddenly he felt confident. He stepped forward and said, "If you don't accept Prince Ling's toast, you will suffer the consequences. What's the point of you staying here? The South Vietnamese army outside won't dare to come to your rescue!"
"Tell me, you are not worthy of being the Third Prince."
Zhao Xu looked at Jun Lie with a grin and said, "The people of Nanyue might think you're in cahoots with me. Even if you return to Nanyue, you'll be doomed. It's better for you to follow me. I guarantee you'll have a good life."
Zhao Xu patted his chest, full of blind confidence. But when he heard the wolf howling, he was puzzled: "Where did the wolf come from?"
"Zhao Xu, when Prince Duan contacted you, didn't he tell you that I was from the Rouan tribe?" Jun Lie's lips curled up slightly. After getting married, his strange illness never recurred.
What are the Roan people?
Zhao Xu was confused, but soon he knew what the Rouan tribe was: beast tamers!
The wolves seemed to understand human language and targeted the Xijiang people. Screams rose one after another. Zhao Xu's terrified face was reflected in the flames rising into the sky. Jun Lie stepped forward and captured Zhao Xu alive.
"Someone come, someone come quickly!" Zhao Xu shouted in panic, but all the people he had ambushed before had disappeared.
