Chapter 224 Rescue
"Yes, I'll go right away!"
Shoubei Feng turned around and wanted to leave, but the delicate and frail princess moved her legs so quickly that she was ahead of him in just a few steps.
Seeing the princess walking out with such a fierce look on her face, Old Wan, Old Deng and Old Feng were all stunned.
"No, Princess, where are you going?"
Old Wan reacted quickly, and with a look of fear on his face, he started to jog. He finally caught up with the Princess of Qi and blocked her way with his arms outstretched.
"I have summoned General Mo to lead his troops and go with Lord Feng."
Jiang Wan's brows did not relax, but his voice was still friendly.
Upon hearing this, Guard Feng rushed forward.
"Thank you, Princess, for your thoughtful consideration. I suspect that Linyue won't dare to act too recklessly and won't send a large army to invade. I have more than enough men under my command, but it would be even safer if General Mo were to accompany us! Please rest assured, Princess, I will..."
"Lord Feng! Saving lives is like putting out a fire. We can talk when we get back. We don't have enough horses, so I'll take some of my men on horseback to provide support. You follow behind with your men and catch up as quickly as possible. Luckily, Weizigou isn't far from here, and we're familiar with the terrain. Let's try to win this battle quickly!"
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted. Jiang Wan moved nimbly to the left, and quickly disappeared in front of several officials with his men. Only a call remained in the empty yard.
"Hurry up and catch up!"
Wan Zhifu felt dizzy. The princess had just run away like that. The old man was so anxious that he didn't even care about his dignity as a scholar. He raised his hand and slapped his thigh hard.
"Oh my God, that Emperor Wenchang, Old Feng, hurry up and follow him! Hurry up, hurry up! If anything happens to the princess, how will we explain it to the prince?!"
"I know!"
Shoubei Feng had a calm face just now, but now he was so panicked that he stepped on two wrong spots and rushed out as if his butt was on fire.
The remaining useless Wan Zhifu and Deng Tongzhi followed behind with pale faces and trotted slowly. They finally caught up with the outside of the gate, but only saw the Princess of Qi jump onto the horse nimbly from a distance.
"It's over, it's over!"
"Why is the princess causing trouble when everything is fine? Why is a weak woman like her meddling in a war?"
Deng Tongzhi wanted to slap his thighs along with his superiors, while the two civil officials were frantically running around in circles. Fortunately, Feng Shoubei was a military commander and was very quick on his feet. He rushed forward at the critical moment to block the Princess of Qi again.
"Your Highness, Princess, you can't do that!"
"Ah! Lord Feng!"
Jiang Wan's face looked a little ugly, but at the critical moment, Lao Feng was able to take charge and drew out his sword to hold it against his neck.
"Please rest assured, Princess. If I cannot successfully retrieve the person, I will bring his head before you! Please dismount!"
Prefect Wan and Tongzhi Deng finally arrived and both stepped forward to block the Princess Qi's horse, with a look of stubbornness on their faces that showed they were not going to let her go even if they were beaten to death.
"Please don't worry, Princess. Old Feng has dealt with Liao people before, so he will definitely not make any mistakes!"
"That's right! I heard you're pregnant. What if something goes wrong? Please dismount, Princess!"
The three men knelt simultaneously. Jiang Wan saw that they were determined not to let her go. Saving lives was like putting out a fire, and there was no time to lose. She could only dismount immediately.
"Then please be careful, Lord Feng. General Mo should have already led his men to the city gate. Go quickly!"
"Yes, I will definitely fulfill your mission!"
Shoubei Feng mounted his warhorse and waved his arms to shout at the people behind him.
"Brothers, follow me!"
"Yes, sir!"
Although the guards in the city are not as good at fighting as those in the suburban camp, they have been stationed in Dongling Prefecture for many years and are not unfamiliar with fighting.
A group of people left with murderous intent.
Jiang Wan turned his head and looked at the two adults beside him.
"Then how about we go guard the city gate? If anything comes, we can quickly send reinforcements."
"Princess, you..."
"Master Wan, my father is the Duke of Lingguo. As the descendant of a military commander, I am not a weakling."
"Are you good at martial arts?"
"Princess, please take care of your health!"
Magistrate Wan and Deputy Magistrate Deng looked at the delicate Princess Qi with a hint of disbelief. It wasn't until the man pulled off the long whip from his waist and swung it, cracking a piece of the bluestone slab, that they quickly shut up.
He followed the princess in a daze and rushed towards the city gate together.
Butler Yang's face was filled with worry, and he kept muttering to himself.
"My princess has always been very measured in her actions. She must have her reasons for going! When the prince is away, the princess is the backbone. With her going, everyone's hearts will be at ease!"
Recalling the two times he had accidentally caught a glimpse of his princess making gestures with the prince in the yard, he had some idea in his mind.
Regardless, the princess is a skilled practitioner, so there shouldn't be any major problems. The only thing that worries me is that the princess is pregnant! Oh my god!
At this moment, he hated his useless lame leg so much that he couldn't even keep up with the master. Fortunately, all the useful children in the mansion followed him, and they would always risk their lives to protect their master no matter what.
Jiang Wan rode on Ruhua, holding the red tassel spear left by Li Chengxiu, and galloped on the road with a group of horses.
She had her own plans.
The Liao people's stirring up trouble at this time was probably a test for Linyue. Li Chengxiu led the soldiers from the suburban camp to deal with the Dali. Was Linyue trying to take advantage of the situation with minimal cost? A win would allow them to press forward, but a loss wouldn't hurt them too much.
But, it depends on whether you have the ability to do it! Although I am directionally challenged and cannot fight, if you dare to rush to my door to provoke me, I am not Jiang Wan if I can tolerate it!
The Princess of Qi and her men were guarding the city gate. After just over an hour, Jiang Dabao, who was the best at eavesdropping, came back on horseback to report.
"Princess, Lord Feng and his men are back! But it looks like there are quite a few pursuers behind them!"
Jiang Wan immediately picked up his gun and mounted his horse.
"Everyone follow me!"
"yes!"
"Princess, be careful!"
Hongzhu and Hongxiu didn't know any martial arts, so they could only be left there and anxiously watch their master lead his men out of the city.
Jiang Wan moved quickly, and within a quarter of an hour, he and his men met up with Feng Shoubei and his men. Without a word, he rode his horse directly into the battlefield, and with a red tasseled spear, he quickly deflected the broadsword that was aimed at the Miao young clan leader.
The wounded Miao Yue turned her head and her eyes immediately turned red, and she screamed in sorrow.
"Jiang Wan!"
"Go!"
A long spear in his right hand flew out, a flower of blood, and with his left hand, he grasped the reins and moved behind Miao Yue to cover her retreat. The man raised his hand, wiped away the blood and tears, and with his brother, whose life or death was unknown, he rushed into the gate of Dongling Prefecture with all his might.
