Chapter 599: Surrender without Death
"Wolf, where does that wolf howl come from?"
The commotion in Jiashui City quickly alerted General Wang and his men who were camped outside. General Wang said, "Quick, light a fire immediately and send someone to investigate what's going on."
The wolf howled loudly, and Xiao Jiuyue, who was lightly sleeping, woke up almost instantly. When she heard the wolf howl, her eyes were confused for a moment, and then she remembered something and immediately shouted, "Dong Gui!"
"Princess, it's the prince, it must be the prince."
Dong Gui was afraid that Xiao Jiuyue had fallen asleep, so she didn't dare go find Xiao Jiuyue after hearing the wolf's howl. But now, hearing Xiao Jiuyue's voice, she excitedly said, "The Rouan people can tame beasts and understand their language, but not everyone in the Rouan tribe has this ability!"
"Even many people in the Rouan tribe doubt that the ability to tame beasts is fake. It hasn't appeared in over a hundred years. But the prince, the prince can do it!"
Donggui is a member of the Rouan tribe. After Concubine Rou died, the tribe leader sent people to secretly protect Jun Lie. After discovering that Jun Lie had the ability to tame beasts, the tribe leader passed the position of tribe leader to Jun Lie.
But Jun Lie was unwilling to accept it, so he asked all the tribesmen to obey Jun Lie's orders.
During the years that Jun Lie was in the cold palace, the people he needed help with were the members of the Rouan tribe.
"He's fine." Xiao Jiuyue didn't care about whether he was taming the beast or not. She only grasped one key point: Jun Lie was fine.
"Donggui, let's go find the prince." Xiao Jiuyue was no longer sleepy. She wanted to see the prince.
"Princess, it's late at night. We're cleaning up the battlefield now. Wolves don't recognize humans. What if they accidentally get hurt?" Dong Gui reminded her. "Besides, your princess has traveled hard, and she should look her best when she sees His Majesty."
"No." Xiao Jiuyue shook her head and said, "I want to see him and don't want to wait any longer."
"By the way, is there any movement from General Qin and the others? Have they taken action?" Xiao Jiuyue felt that today was a good opportunity.
Qin Tao said that unless the prince could capture the second prince of Xijiang and make meritorious deeds, the situation could not be broken.
Once the Second Prince of Xijiang runs away, then the prince will be so angry that he won’t be able to explain himself.
"Xue Ren and the others have just gone to investigate, and by the way, see if they can contact the prince." Dong Gui said soothingly, "Princess, you should go to sleep first."
"How can I sleep?" Xiao Jiuyue became extremely excited when she thought that Jun Lie was still alive.
"Princess, Shi Youmin, He Changqing, and the boss want to see you." Luo Kui was not asleep either and was always on guard.
"Are they looking for me?" Xiao Jiuyue glanced at the sky outside. It was almost midnight, so she asked Shi Youmin, He Changqing and the boss to come in.
As soon as they entered, the boss's loud voice rang out: "Princess, the wolves are coming. According to my experience, this is a good opportunity to kill them!"
"Yes, we can take advantage of the chaos caused by these wolves that appeared for no reason and enter Jiashui City."
He Changqing also spoke up: "I heard from Guo Sheng and the others that there is a river leading to Jiashui City. We have people who are good at swimming and can swim in!"
Everyone was talking at once, and Xiao Jiuyue was very moved. They knew that the prince was charged with treason, but not only did he not leave, he was thinking of a way to deal with it.
Xiao Jiuyue looked at the dark circles under their eyelids, thinking they must have been up all night. She said, "Swimming in the river is fine, but it's too long. If we stay there for too long, we won't be able to bear it."
"You can use reeds or bamboo poles to breathe." He Changqing volunteered, "I've swam across the Jinjiang River before, so I can swim in."
"Yes, there are also several people in our village who are very good at water." Shi Youmin said excitedly, as if he had finally found a place where he could be of use.
"We've already summoned them to deal with the wolves, so why would we have time to stare at the water?" The eldest boss was eager to set off immediately. He said, "Princess, don't hesitate. Once the Xijiang soldiers defeat the wolves, it will be difficult to find such a good opportunity again!"
"Okay, then gather everyone now and go into the river together." Xiao Jiuyue said, and immediately looked at Donggui and asked, "Does anyone among us know how to swim? If we're familiar with the people around the prince, we can contact them earlier and work together from the inside and outside."
"Yes." Dong Gui responded. The people around the prince all have various abilities, some can swim, and some can use various weapons.
Soon, a team of ten people was gathered, and all of these ten people were very good at swimming.
Xiao Jiuyue memorized the faces and names of all ten of them and said, "Whether you succeed or not today, you are all heroes. Twenty taels of silver may seem a bit tacky, but it's enough for you to take home, drink, eat meat, marry a wife, and raise children!"
The ten people, led by He Changqing, all looked at Xiao Jiuyue with shock in their eyes. The princess was really generous!
"I only have one request of you." Xiao Jiuyue's gaze swept over each person one by one: "Return safely. If you are discovered, the first thing is to save your life, and the second is to contact the prince!"
He Changqing and others responded, but they were secretly thinking in their hearts: The princess is so good to them, they must contact the prince even if it costs their lives!
And Prince Duan!
When He Changqing thought of Zhang Liang and Wu Xi, who were sent by Prince Duan and caused his mother's death, he was filled with deep hatred for Prince Duan.
As He Changqing and his men left the water, Xue Ren returned and reported, "General Wang is afraid of wolves and refuses to send troops. General Qin has led his men to attack."
"It doesn't matter. General Wang is here to hold us back." Xiao Jiuyue was not at all surprised by General Wang's behavior. General Wang didn't want the prince to die in Jiashui City, right?
When Xiao Jiuyue approached Jiashui City, he saw General Wang's army stationed in the distance on the top of the mountain. They were so far away, yet they were still afraid of death.
Qin Tao was brave and good at fighting. He used a pack of wolves to attack the city gate when the morale of the Xijiang soldiers was low.
"General Qin is good. Once we enter the city, we can open a path." Guo Shenghu said beside Xiao Jiuyue, "I have already sent some people to infiltrate General Qin's team according to the princess's instructions."
As long as you enter the city, you can contact the prince.
"He Changqing and his team's water route will be faster. If everything goes well, they should be able to see Jun Lie directly." Xiao Jiuyue's eyes were filled with anticipation. She asked, "Are all the herbs you prepared ready?"
"Don't worry, Princess. I've tied them all on as you said." Guo Sheng patted his chest and assured, "I guarantee that the prince and the others can get the medicine in the shortest possible time."
"Okay." Xiao Jiuyue felt relieved. With these three approaches, she believed that the prince would be fine.
Under the blazing flames, the Xijiang flag on the city wall fell down. A figure stood on the tower, his voice deep but resonant: "Surrender, and you will not be killed."
