"Who would have thought that the two of them would collude together in the blink of an eye? It can't be that An Chenghuan deliberately gave him his woman to bewitch him and make him forget the hatred between the country and the family," Yuan Cheng's general led his troops over and ridiculed Jing Lu as soon as he saw him.
Although Jing Lu heard the person in front of him cursing the entire Jing Kingdom, he felt extremely pleased to hear that Jing Yan had been ridiculed to such an extent.
However, he had no choice but to take action, otherwise he couldn't guarantee that Jing Yan would save him.
"Shameless scoundrel, how dare you insult my royal brother! My royal brother is right outside the valley. If you have the guts, go outside the valley and fight my royal brother."
Upon hearing this, the Yuancheng general scoffed, his arrogance growing even stronger: "So you're a prince of Jing Kingdom, Jing Yan's brother. You've got more guts than him to come in and fight me."
"Very well, I'll take your head outside the valley and ask Jing Yan for a drink."
As they spoke, the two sides brandished their swords and began to fight.
...
Jing Yan stood guard outside the valley. He found a high place to observe the battle through his telescope and saw that dust was already flying everywhere inside.
Rong Ying watched from the side. The echo reverberated through the valley. He frowned and said helplessly, "The Qi army insulted His Highness very harshly, which shows that they underestimated the enemy. It seems that as long as Prince Li can hold on and get out, the Yuancheng general will definitely be defeated."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the commotion inside grew even louder. Someone hurriedly said, "This is bad! It seems King Li can't hold on any longer. Should we send troops to support him?"
Jing Yan raised his hand to stop him: "No rush. If we go now and startle the Yuancheng generals, we might fail at the last minute, and it will be difficult to lure the enemy next time."
"Do you remember when Jinglu and Jingshuo were crossing a checkpoint in the forest, Jingshuo broke his leg, but Jinglu was unharmed?"
“I suspect Jing Lu’s abilities are not limited to this. He was able to trigger the mechanism that injured Jing Shuo’s leg, and he must have been able to get out of the valley.”
Rong Ying suddenly realized: "So Your Highness not only gave Prince Li a warning, but also valued his ability."
Jing Yan laughed: "I also value his life. If he were to lead an army, he wouldn't be willing to give his all at this time. He would probably be too eager for quick success and harm the soldiers."
He continued watching and discovered that Jing Lu had led the Yuancheng generals out of the narrowest part of the valley.
However, because the valley was narrow and movement was slow, the Yuancheng general deliberately humiliated Jing Lu by putting a rope around his neck, but he did not tighten the rope immediately.
Jing Yan rode his horse to catch up with Jing Lu, acting as if he were leading a beast, and immediately returned to his horse.
He could clearly see the Yuancheng generals who had come out to chase after Jing Lu, but the Yuancheng generals did not see him immediately.
Upon seeing a large number of Jing soldiers, the enemy began shouting and howling, defiantly raising their long swords.
It seemed as if the Yuancheng general was about to chop off Jing Lu's head at any moment, but the knife was only waved once; he was just bluffing to scare everyone.
Jing Lu had not been afraid of any trouble along the way, as if he knew it was not the right time. Now, hearing the Yuancheng generals cheering, he suddenly leaned back on his horse.
In a split second, he swiftly cut the rope around her neck with his knife.
At the same time, Jing Yan swiftly shot an arrow, which flew past Jing Lu and struck the Yuancheng general squarely in the chest.
