Chapter 1167 The Strongest Backing
"Ancestor!" Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan were shocked when they saw this.
On one side was the chaotic celebration scene, and on the other side was the unwell ancestor. Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan suddenly felt tremendous pressure, as if a mountain was pressing on their hearts, making them breathless.
"Yun Che..." Jiang Xue looked at Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan's face was also very solemn. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
He knew that now was not the time to panic and he had to come up with a solution as soon as possible.
"Xiaoxue..." Xiao Zhan was about to speak when he was suddenly interrupted by a loud noise.
"Catch them! Don't let them get away!"
In the distance, a group of men in black suddenly appeared. Holding sharp blades, they slashed wildly in the crowd, which immediately caused a greater panic.
"Protect the Prime Minister! Protect the princess!" Upon seeing this, the guards immediately surrounded Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan to protect their safety.
"ah!"
“Help!”
Screams continued to be heard from the crowd, and the celebration site turned into a hell on earth.
Jiang Xue looked at everything in front of her, her heart filled with grief and anger.
Jiang Xue took a deep breath: "Who is behind all this?"
The ancestor's sudden condition and the enemy's surprise attack dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Xue's nerves that were on the verge of collapse.
But she knew that she could not fall down, because she was Princess Zang, the only stabilizing force in this chaos.
"Guards! Escort the old ancestor back home immediately and ask the best doctor to treat him!" She said in a decisive tone, leaving no room for doubt.
Several guards immediately stepped forward and carefully helped the pale old ancestor away from the noisy scene.
After dealing with the ancestor's affairs, Jiang Xue turned to face the agitated people, her eyes firm and calm.
She raised her voice, and the clear sound was like the sun shining through the dark clouds, reaching everyone's eardrums:
"Fellow villagers! I know that you all have grievances and sufferings in your hearts! I, Jiang Xue, swear here today that I will thoroughly investigate this matter and give you an explanation! Please believe me, and believe in the Prime Minister!"
Her words were powerful and carried an unquestionable force.
The crowd gradually quieted down, and the raging anger gradually subsided.
Jiang Xue struck while the iron was hot and pointed at the instigators who were still shouting: "As for those with ulterior motives who are trying to create chaos and disrupt the celebration, I will never tolerate them!"
The guards immediately understood and arrested the instigators one by one.
There were bursts of applause from the crowd; Jiang Xue's decisiveness and wisdom won everyone's admiration.
After resolving the unrest among the people, Jiang Xue quickly commanded the guards to fight against the men in black.
She calmly analyzed the situation, deployed her troops, and pushed the men in black back step by step.
Her command was as steady as that of a general on the battlefield, planning and winning battles thousands of miles away.
Xiao Zhan watched Jiang Xue moving through the crowd, like a dazzling light that dispelled all darkness and chaos, his heart filled with pride and love.
He stood beside her silently and became her strongest support.
With the joint efforts of the two, the chaos at the celebration site finally subsided.
The originally noisy square returned to its calm, and the air was filled with the joy of surviving the disaster.
"Your Highness the Princess is truly as capable as any man!"
"Yes, thanks to Her Royal Highness the Princess, otherwise today's celebration would have been ruined!"
The people praised Jiang Xue's wisdom and courage.
A faint smile appeared on Jiang Xue's face. She gently patted Xiao Zhan's hand, indicating that he should continue the celebration.
Amid the cheers of the crowd, Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan, dressed in gorgeous gowns, slowly walked onto the celebration stage.
Jiang Xue's dress was specially made. The phoenix embroidered with gold thread was lifelike and sparkled brightly in the sun, highlighting her noble and elegant temperament.
Xiao Zhan's dress was dark blue, embroidered with golden dragon patterns, which made him look even more handsome and majestic.
The two of them stood on the stage, like a perfect couple, the envy of others.
They smiled at each other, and brilliant fireworks bloomed in the sky, lighting up the entire night sky.
At this moment, a palace maid quietly walked up to Jiang Xue and handed her a letter: "Princess, this is from the He Mansion."
Jiang Xue took the letter and a hint of doubt flashed through her mind.
She opened the envelope, took a look at the contents, and her expression instantly became solemn.
"Xiaoxue, what's wrong?" Xiao Zhan noticed that Jiang Xue was acting strangely and asked with concern.
Jiang Xue tightly grasped the letter in her hand, without saying a word, but just looked up into the distance, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
"Master Prime Minister, the enemy has returned and launched a fierce attack on our army!"
Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan looked at each other after hearing this, and saw worry in each other's eyes.
Then the two of them rushed to the battlefield with their personal soldiers without any hesitation.
With flags fluttering, Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan fought side by side, and the enemy had no ability to resist wherever they went.
The battlefield was filled with tense and shrill shouts and a strong smell of blood.
"My Lord Prime Minister, Princess, the enemy has used a strange formation and our soldiers are having difficulty breaking through!" A soldier covered in blood staggered over to report.
Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan looked into the distance and saw that the enemy's formation was strange and unpredictable. The soldiers were moving back and forth like ghosts, which was dazzling.
Although Xiao Zhan's army was brave, they were stuck in a quagmire and could not move forward.
"Damn it, what kind of weird formation is this?" Xiao Zhan cursed in a low voice, his handsome face tense and his brows almost twisted into a lump.
Jiang Xue also had a solemn expression and was extremely anxious.
The soldiers' casualties continued to increase. If the formation could not be broken quickly, the consequences would be disastrous.
At this time, another piece of bad news came: "Prime Minister, Princess, there is news from the palace that an assassin has sneaked into the palace with the intention of assassinating you!"
Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan felt a sinking feeling in their hearts. It was obvious that someone was deliberately making trouble behind their backs, trying to take advantage of the chaos to harm them.
It seems that those ministers in the court who were dissatisfied with them could no longer hold back.
"Oh, you are such a thief!"
Xiao Zhan sneered, Jiang Xue held his hand tightly and said in a deep voice: "Master Prime Minister, it is best to be careful."
Xiao Zhan nodded, and the two of them immediately assigned personnel to strengthen vigilance and at the same time stepped up the investigation into the assassin's origins.
However, while they were dealing with the assassin, the enemy leader seized the opportunity and launched an even more violent attack.
The enemy troops surged in like a tide and broke through one of Xiao Zhan's army's defense lines.
The war situation took a turn for the worse and was extremely critical.
"Prime Minister, Princess, the enemy has broken through the defense line!" The messenger's voice trembled with a hint of despair.
Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan had no time to track down the assassin and immediately dispatched troops to counterattack.
"All soldiers, follow me and charge!" Xiao Zhan roared, and like a tiger descending from the mountain, he was the first to rush into the enemy camp.
Jiang Xue followed closely behind, wielding the sword in her hand like the wind, killing the approaching enemy soldiers one by one.
The fighting on the battlefield became more brutal and the smell of blood became stronger.
Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan were like two flashes of lightning, shuttling back and forth in the enemy's formation and killing countless enemies.
