When Jing Zhe set off from Jiangling, he was determined to take revenge.
After his first encounter with Prince Jin, his confidence was somewhat shaken, and after hearing Su Mochen's introduction, he had even less confidence.
There's absolutely no chance of winning!
Therefore, the only solution he could think of was to find his master, the old medicine boy. With two grandmasters against two grandmasters, plus his sisters, killing them would be a piece of cake.
But the old medicine boy has no fixed abode, so where can we find him?
Even if we do find him, given the old medicine boy's worldly-wise nature, would he really be willing to help?
Jing Zhe couldn't guarantee it either.
At this moment, Su Mochen shook his head and said, "There's no need to find your master. You can actually take revenge on your own."
"One person? How do I report it?"
Jing Zhe exclaimed in surprise.
"Someone's there!"
Before Su Mochen could answer, Pei Yunxi, who had been silent, suddenly shouted. The three of them became alert and immediately turned around. They saw a dark cloud rising in the distance behind them, clearly indicating that a large army was heading this way. In comparison, Jing Zhe felt that this scale was even larger than the rebel army brought by Prince Jin and Kadan before!
"Let's hide and see what happens!"
Jing Zhe said something, and the other three women nodded in agreement. Then the four of them disappeared into the grove.
As the dark clouds drew closer, Jing Zhe finally saw the two large flags standing at the very front of the group, and his brows relaxed completely!
Because those two large flags were printed with the four characters "Jinghong" and "Yueyao" respectively!
"This is Fifth Sister and Xi'er's army!"
As Jing Zhe spoke, Lu Li and the others also saw Liu Jinghong at the very front of the group. She was wearing a suit of armor, holding her chestnut-red spear, and riding a tall horse. She looked heroic and majestic!
However, perhaps due to the constant travel, Liu Jinghong's face was covered in dust and she looked exhausted.
Jing Zhe searched the group again but did not find Murong Xi. Instead, he saw Yueyao Saintess Chu Xia, who was also wearing armor and riding a horse in the middle of the group.
Beside her was a large carriage, her head pressed against the carriage window, her mouth opening and closing, seemingly talking to someone inside.
Xi'er must be inside!
Jing Zhe thought this way, but he was also a little curious. Murong Xi and Liu Jinghong must have come together because they had heard the news. Murong Xi was worried about him, so she led Yueyao's army through Liangzhou. She and Liu Jinghong had the same idea, so they came together to help him.
But marching requires speed, so why is Murong Xi still acting like an empress and riding in a carriage?
Jing Zhe decided to go out and take a look.
"Eldest sister, fourth sister, Mo Chen, shall we go take a look?"
Seeing the combined forces of Liu Jinghong and Murong Xi, the three of them were actually happy. The situation in Jingzhou was chaotic, and if they were alone, they would be too weak and vulnerable.
The combined army of Liu Jinghong and Murong Xi numbered over ten thousand, comparable to the rebel army. In particular, the Jinghong Iron Cavalry brought by Liu Jinghong was even more powerful than the Western Frontier Heavy Cavalry Regiment and the Southern Qi Silver Thread Army. With them, as long as the Prince of Jin and the Qingyang Sect Leader died, they could completely wipe out the remaining rebels!
They agreed and followed Jing Zhe as he flew away.
...
"General, be careful!"
The Jinghong Iron Cavalry were very alert, and immediately formed a defensive formation upon discovering people flying out of the woods ahead.
Liu Jinghong was quick-witted and spotted Jing Zhe at first glance.
He immediately waved his hand, signaling his deputy Wang De to disperse his hands. At this moment, Wang De also saw that the person who came was Jing Zhe and felt relieved.
"Zhe'er!"
"Fifth Sister!"
Liu Jinghong flew over, ignoring the iron cavalry behind her, and threw herself into Jing Zhe's arms. The moment she received the news, she had a bad feeling and rushed over without stopping.
Seeing that Jing Zhe was safe and sound, he naturally felt relieved.
Although she missed him terribly, Liu Jinghong didn't dare to hug him for too long, because as soon as she hugged Jing Zhe, she saw Lu Li, Su Mochen, and Pei Yunxi standing behind him.
Releasing Jing Zhe, he bowed and said, "This humble official greets Your Highness Mo Chen."
Su Mochen stepped forward, took Liu Jinghong's hand, and said, "Fifth Sister, just call me Mochen. Why are you acting so distant with me after not seeing me for a while? It's like we're not family."
As a princess, Su Mochen's emotional intelligence was far beyond that of ordinary people. In just a few words, she eliminated the estrangement between herself and Liu Jinghong. Liu Jinghong then turned around and looked at Lu Li and Pei Yunxi, calling out softly, "Eldest sister, fourth sister."
Lu Li and Pei Yunxi nodded, then exchanged pleasantries with Liu Jinghong and talked about the specific events that had occurred in Jingzhou.
As the group began to speak, the main force naturally stopped advancing.
In the middle of the procession, Murong Xi, inside the carriage, also sensed the unusual situation and asked softly, "Chu Xia, what's going on? Why has the army suddenly stopped? It's not even noon yet."
Murong Xi's voice was lazy. Ever since she received the news from Anguo, Murong Xi had set off from Yueyao. She had spent the last few days in the carriage and knew that the army would only stop at lunchtime.
It was still early before noon, and the commotion outside didn't seem like they were encountering any enemies, so she was a little curious.
"Your Majesty, something has happened..."
Chu Xia had already seen Jing Zhe, and stammered.
"What is it?"
Chu Xia thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, before I speak, you must promise me one thing: no matter what you hear, you must not get excited."
Murong Xi laughed after hearing this: "Chu Xia, didn't I promise you before we came out this time that I would be calm and not panic?"
It turned out that after receiving news from Jingzhou, Murong Xi decided to lead the Yueyao army to support Jing Zhe because he was worried that Jing Zhe was in danger. However, Chu Xia immediately objected.
The reason for the opposition was the fear that she would have to travel a lot.
Although Murong Xi is the Empress of Yueyao, after returning to Yueyao from Jingzhou, she implemented various measures learned from Jingzhou and stripped her elder sisters of their power and exiled them, starting preparations for Chuxia's ascension to the throne. Therefore, there are some things that must be done according to Chuxia's wishes.
After much discussion, Chu Xia finally agreed to Murong Xi's suggestion to accompany the army to Jingzhou. However, she also told her not to get excited beforehand. Only after Murong Xi agreed did Chu Xia go out with her.
After saying that, Murong Xi in the car laughed again: "I'm not a child anymore, why don't you trust me? Chu Xia? But I've noticed that Chu Xia is becoming more and more charismatic. I can rest assured when she takes over as empress from me in the future."
Chu Xia didn't reply to her, but instead took a breath: "It's a promise, you're not allowed to get excited!"
After a while, she said, word by word, "President Jing, it's just ahead!"
"..."
