Chapter 147 Disobeying the Imperial Edict



Jiang Bai's eyes lit up immediately when he heard that they knew how to grow it.

She took a charcoal pencil out of her bag, quickly wrote a letter on a piece of paper, and handed it to Xu Ni.

"Take these seeds and go to Jiangjia Village in Nan'an County."

"Someone will take care of you then."

Xu Ni was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.

"Thank you, benefactor, thank you, benefactor."

The barbarians have already broken through the pass, and the benefactor before us is so powerful, so Jiang Family Village must be a safe place.

She was originally worried about where she and her grandfather should settle down, but unexpectedly, someone brought her a pillow when she was sleepy. Now that they have a place to go, they can feel more at ease.

After seeing Xu Ni and a group of villagers who wanted to go to Jiangjia Village with her off, Jiang Bai led Jiang Lu to their village, following the direction Xu Ni pointed.

In a small plot of land about one square meter in size at the west end of the village, Jiang Bai saw the destroyed potato seedlings.

They dug around in the ground with their tools, but it was completely empty. The potatoes that hadn't even grown yet had already been dug up by those people.

Jiang Bai sighed regretfully.

I thought of the potatoes in that box, still covered in dirt.

It seems that Xu Ni and her grandfather dug up a few seeds and took them with them when they fled.

It's fortunate that she packed it away, otherwise these potatoes really wouldn't have any seeds.

Fortunately, one potato can be planted into several clusters, as only the sprouts are needed. Otherwise, with only a few plants, it would take many years to bear fruit.

Jiang Bai led Jiang Lu westward, dealing with any barbarian soldiers they encountered along the way.

In addition, Ji Yanwen was also leading troops to suppress the barbarians, resulting in the barbarian elites who were sent to Nan'an County being either killed or captured.

"Sister, judging by the days, Mother's hand is almost healed. Shall we go back now?"

Jiang Lu drew her sword, kicked the barbarian soldiers' corpses aside, and looked on with a hint of anticipation.

"Yes, the barbarians in Nan'an County should have been mostly cleared out."

Jiang Bai nodded, and the two of them cleaned up the body together before heading back.

On the other side, Ji Yanwen also felt that it was about time and led his troops back to reinforce Luzhou.

In Kyoto, Crown Prince Shin put down the letter, his face darkening considerably.

"Young Master, Jiang Bai is too formidable."

"And Prince An, I never expected him to have so many weapons."

"The barbarians who raided Luzhou and Nan'an County have been mostly dealt with by Prince An's troops and Jiang Bai."

Hearing his advisor's words, the Crown Prince's face darkened even further.

Thinking about Jiang Bai's introduction when I was reading the book gave me a headache.

That's a human-shaped weapon.

It has a lethality comparable to that of firearms.

He had lost hundreds of his trained bodyguards, but he still hadn't managed to capture her.

Even the Song family couldn't be caught.

"Leave Jiang Bai alone for now. This time, the barbarians invaded, and Prince An sent troops without authorization, revealing the news to the Crown Prince and the Second Prince."

Knowing that Jiang Bai was a tough opponent, the Prince of Xin did not want to confront her for the time being.

Since we can't deal with Jiang Bai, then let's deal with that chosen one.

Once he dealt with Prince An, he refused to believe that she could install a dead man as emperor.

Thinking of this, the Crown Prince's expression softened considerably.

The next day.

The censor then impeached Prince An for raising a private army and plotting a rebellion.

The emperor was already quite old and at the age when he was most power-hungry. Upon hearing that Prince An was raising a private army, he did not investigate at all, but immediately issued an imperial edict, rebuking Prince An for his wolfish ambition, lack of loyalty to the emperor and father, stripping him of his title, taking back his fiefdom, demoting him to a commoner, and ordering him to be brought back to the capital immediately to await trial.

The imperial edict was delivered to Luzhou by fast horse.

Prince An, Mingyu, had to guard against the barbarian elite troops and also besiege Wang Shaoyang and his servants who had fled into the mountains.

Some time passed, but there was still no trace of Wang Shaoyang and his servant.

He was summoned back to the mansion by the servants, and after hearing the imperial edict read aloud, his face immediately turned cold.

"An... no, Lord Mingyu, please!"

The eunuch who came to deliver the imperial decree raised his chin and looked at Ming Yu with a slight sneer.

Ming Yu frowned deeply as he looked at the smug eunuch's smug expression.

His father has really lost his mind.

It was just one censor's opinion, yet he believed it so readily.

He naturally did not want to be demoted to a commoner.

Suddenly, Jiang Bai's words echoed in his mind, and his eyes flickered.

The eunuch kept urging them on.

The guard who came with him had already drawn his knife, and judging from his appearance, it seemed that he intended to forcibly take him down if he did not cooperate.

After a struggle with his mind, Mingyu let out a long sigh.

"Never mind."

Upon hearing his words, the eunuch assumed he had resigned himself to his fate and immediately laughed, raising his hand to signal the guards to step forward and seize Ming Yu.

Unexpectedly, Ming Yu casually waved his hand, and a group of soldiers rushed in.

"Take him down and kill him without mercy."

The eunuch was shocked and tried to speak, but was grabbed by the soldiers who came in and quickly slit his throat.

The guards who followed didn't fare any better.

"Do you understand now that we have never seen the angels of the capital?"

"clear."

Seeing the serious expressions on his soldiers' faces, Ming Yu nodded in satisfaction.

Isn't it just rebellion?

It's time to build it.

With that thought in mind, he left the palace and rode his horse toward Pingshan.

Pingshan, Jiangzhai.

Jiang Bai was holding a bowl of boiled water. He had just taken a sip when he was surprised and put it down.

"You want me to help you find Wang Shaoyang?"

She was surprised.

Prince An thinks highly of her. The mountain Wang Shaoyang escaped into is quite large. She's not a hunting dog; how could she possibly find him in the vast mountains?
