"Isn't it... a bit inappropriate for Your Majesty to just take them away like this?"
The envoy from the North Mongolia couldn't help but glance at the carriage behind him, his heart filled with unease.
He truly hadn't expected his king to act so recklessly.
Not only did he marry the seventh princess, but he also kidnapped another princess as a bonus.
The King of Northern Mongolia raised an eyebrow and said arrogantly, "She was sent by someone else, not taken by me. She's just an extra concubine. Can't I handle that?!"
"I could sleep with ten women like this in one night and still not have enough! Hahaha—"
The King of Northern Mongolia laughed wildly, which immediately drew waves of laughter in response, shouting, "Our King is mighty and mighty!"
The procession, however, was filled with trepidation, daring not to utter a word of anger, and could only keep their heads down and hurry on their way, their hearts filled with desolation.
"But she was already engaged, and her fiancé wasn't a good-tempered man."
The envoy attempted to persuade them.
But bringing it up only made things worse, as it emboldened the Northern Mongol King, who declared, "If he has the guts, let him come after me! I'll make sure he never leaves alive!"
"This...this...!"
The envoy wiped his sweat repeatedly, exclaiming, "No!"
They've come to make peace through marriage, not to start a war!
"I am pleased!"
The Northern Mongol King cracked his whip and ordered, "All of you, get running! Once you're out of this territory, even the Heavenly King himself would have to kneel before me!"
We were about to enter the territory of northern Mongolia.
The envoy sighed helplessly, hoping that no one in the capital would discover them and pursue them, so that they could return to Northern Mongolia smoothly and avoid any further trouble.
Inside the carriage behind.
Hearing the unrestrained laughter of the Northern King, the Seventh Princess laughed along.
Her carefully disguised face was contorted with rage. "Fourth sister, did you hear that? Once you cross this border, you'll never be able to return to the capital, hahaha—you'll obediently become my concubine and come with me to marry into the Northern Mongols!"
"When we arrive in Northern Mongolia, I will be the high and mighty Queen Consort of Northern Mongolia, while you—will be nothing more than a lowly concubine without even a name!"
"If I can't have you, you can't have you either!"
"You ruined me, so you'll rot in this hell with me for the rest of your life! I'll make you live or die as I please!"
"Don't worry, my dear sister, I will never let you die so easily! Otherwise, how boring would my remaining days be!"
The Seventh Princess's eyes were filled with a maniacal laugh.
The fourth princess was gagged and her hands and feet were tied. She struggled desperately, wishing she could break her hands and feet and jump off the carriage, but all her efforts were in vain, and she was in tears.
The fourth princess never expected this.
She had only been asleep when she was tied to the horse of the marriage alliance. At first, she hoped that someone would find out and catch up with her, but... it had been three days and three nights.
The horses of Northern Mongolia are galloping so fast that they will probably enter the territory of Northern Mongolia in less than a day.
The fourth princess's face was filled with despair.
The image of that dashing man in white flashed through her mind. In the end... she was not fortunate enough to marry him. How could someone as unlucky as her have the blessing of marrying him?
It's better to leave.
To avoid harming him, she ultimately felt she was unworthy.
As she pondered, she seemed to hear his shouts and the rapid sound of horses' hooves. The Fourth Princess shook her head. How could that be? He was the commander of the Imperial Guards. Leaving the capital without permission was a capital offense.
"Bang—"
With a loud crash, the carriage suddenly came to a screeching halt, the people inside lurched to the side, and the carriages collided, startling the horses, which then scrambled together haphazardly.
The fourth princess was bound hand and foot, and rolled around like an object. When she rolled to her feet, she was kicked away.
Such speed and impact.
If you fall, you'll be half-dead, if not dead.
The Fourth Princess was so frightened that she closed her eyes tightly, thinking that death was imminent. Her last thought was that she had not said goodbye to him. Well, dying here was closer to him than dying in Northern Mongolia.
Who knew—
Suddenly, she bumped into a thick chest, heard a muffled thud, and heard his voice beside her ear, "Princess—"
The fourth princess opened her eyes in disbelief. This... this isn't a dream?
Jiang Jingtian barely caught the Fourth Princess. Seeing her gagged and bound like a pig or dog, he was already furious. He cleaved the ropes with a knife, ripped the gag out of her mouth, and led his men to leap onto their horses. He then pulled out his belt and tightly bound her behind his back.
He roared, "You treacherous dogs from the Northern Mongols—"
The Northern King and his men surrounded Jiang Jingtian, staring intently at him. He then laughed loudly, "Hahaha—what courage!"
From the carriage that had just managed to stabilize itself, the Seventh Princess stumbled and jumped down, crying out in delight, "Commander Jiang! Are you here to take me back?! Father Emperor regrets it and wants to summon me back, doesn't he?! I'll go with you! Take me away quickly!"
"you--"
The Seventh Princess's crazed gaze fell on Jiang Jingtian's back, her eyes blazing with fury. "You wretch—get down here! He's here to save me! He's here to take me back!"
The seventh princess lunged forward in a frenzy, yelling, "Take me away! Take me away!"
Jiang Jingtian didn't even glance at her.
His bloodshot eyes were fixed on the Northern Mongol King, "Old thief of the Northern Mongol—"
Sensing the terrified, trembling figure behind him, he gritted his teeth and raised the Azure Dragon Blade in his hand.
With a strong spur, the horse galloped past the Seventh Princess, neighing as it charged toward the Northern Mongol King.
At the same time, wielding the Azure Dragon Blade, he aimed straight for the head of the Northern Mongol, and the others quickly intercepted him!
At this moment—
Jiang Jingtian suddenly yanked the reins, and the horse abruptly turned and galloped away, shouting, "I will avenge the theft of my wife!"
"Chase after them! Capture them alive!"
"I'm going to capture him and take him to Northern Mongolia to feed my eagles! Hahaha—"
The King of Northern Mongolia laughed wildly and gave chase.
Horses whizzed past.
Startled by the carriage, the Seventh Princess was swept back by the gust of wind and fell to the ground, eventually being pulled under the carriage.
When the people were rescued, their heads and faces were covered in blood, their faces were mangled and flesh torn apart, and they had lost consciousness.
The marriage procession hurriedly summoned a physician. If the Seventh Prince were to die, how could they possibly survive? Their entire families would likely be implicated.
A chorus of cries erupted immediately.
Looking around, they realized that all the soldiers of the Northern Mongols had chased after the Northern Mongols King, leaving them behind. This friendly... was truly an unprecedented disgrace.
One can imagine how lowly and miserable their future days in northern Mongolia will be.
Thinking about his own situation, he was overcome with grief and began to wail again.
On the other side.
Jiang Jingtian's horse was no match for the fine horses of Beimeng and was soon cornered on a cliff.
The fourth princess clung tightly to him, her tears long since dried, her voice hoarse, "Brother Jiang... put me down, don't worry about me, go quickly—you have a bright future ahead of you, I... I don't deserve you."
"You are my wife, how could I abandon you!"
Jiang Jingtian carried the Fourth Princess and retreated towards the cliff. His Green Dragon Blade was broken in half, and he was covered in blood, whether his or someone else's, it was unclear.
The fourth princess suddenly widened her eyes, her gaze filled with joy and determination.
She clung tightly to his back, "Madam..." He said she was his wife.
Even if I die, I will have no regrets.
