The Proud Prince and the Arrogant Princess - C399
Wei Ming said respectfully, “Madam, according to Your Highness’s orders, we will set out in the afternoon to meet with Lord Jia and the rest. If Madam has anything that you need, please tell me, I will help you take it.”
Xue Moyun shook her head, “I can still do such a small thing. Wait for me outside for a while, I will take the clothes you need to wear and come over.”
Xue Moyun kept the salutes and passed them to Wei Ming, after which the army departed.
Along the way, in order to repay Xue Moyun for his kindness, the crown prince had her sit on the softest and most comfortable horse carriage.
But when Xue Moyun thought about her identity as the crown prince and how he was young, he invited him to sit with them on the carriage.
As for the crown prince, he instinctively wanted to get close to Xue Moyun and refused him a few times before agreeing.
With Mu Ying leading the way at the front, they were unable to sit together.
Every once in a while, Xue Moyun would open the curtain and look at Mu Ying’s back.
The Crown Prince laughed, “I didn’t realize that the two of you were so intimate.”
Xue Moyun’s gaze grew distant as she thought back to all the bits and pieces of their past that she had experienced together, as if they had just happened yesterday.
Xue Moyun said gently, “Crown Prince, you are still young. In the future, you will also meet a girl you like, and you are willing to give up everything for her.”
The Crown Prince lowered his eyes and smiled, “What if someone I like doesn’t like me?”
Xue Moyun was astonished by the crown prince’s sudden decline in emotions, “You are the crown prince, the future emperor. If you were a benevolent king, how could I not like you?”
After saying that, Xue Moyun yawned, feeling a little sleepy. After being pregnant for a long time, no matter how tired they were, they were prone to drowsiness.
The Crown Prince swallowed the words he was about to say, “You look tired too. Sleep for a while. I’ll call you when it’s time.”
Not long after, a good news came from the front. The Anti-Rebel, led by the Lord Jia, had already occupied the most important city in the lower desert.
The crown prince and Mu Ying’s emotions gradually rose.
When Xue Moyun woke up, she realized that the carriage had stopped. She lifted up the blanket covering her body, narrowed her eyes and looked around, but did not see Little Prince.
“What did you say!”
It was the crown prince’s voice, trembling slightly in front of the carriage.
Xue Moyun suddenly had a bad premonition, she quickly pulled open the curtain and saw a group of people surrounding the carriage.
There was Mu Ying, the crown prince, and a few important officials of the Anti-Rebel. They were all surrounding a black-clothed man who was covered in blood.
He lay dying on the ground, his body covered in wounds of varying depth.
The strong stench of blood made her nauseous.
Seeing her coming out, Mu Ying immediately put on a coat, “It’s cold outside, don’t get cold, go in and sit.”
Xue Moyun knew that something must have happened, so she rejected Mu Ying’s suggestion and asked worriedly, “Where is this place? What happened? ”
“We have reached the outskirts of the desert. That man is one of Lord Jia’s trusted aides, he came to deliver a letter and said that Min Hanbatian had transferred an army from an unknown place, and Lord Jia’s troops were insufficient, unable to contend. ” Mu Ying said casually, but he couldn’t ignore the danger involved.
Xue Moyun held his hand and comforted him, “Don’t worry, we still have an army here right? We can still resist if we provide support to the Lord Jia. ”
“En, don’t worry, it will be fine.”
That trusted aide of his had already lost his consciousness, and was unable to obtain more information regarding the city. The only thing he could do was to quickly reunite with the Lord Jia.
Xue Moyun got on the carriage, and looked at the worried crown prince, “Crown Prince, do not worry too much, you are the legitimate crown prince, even if Min Hanbatian has the power to cover the sky, he will not be able to shake the fact that you are the crown prince.”
The crown prince smirked, “Thank you for your consolation, but Min Hanbatian is too fierce, he has been in the capital for so many years and his power is in such a mess, it is hard to move him.”
“Has the crown prince ever heard of water being able to carry boats? No matter how strong the Lord Jia is, a selfish person like him will never get the support of the common people. ”
They took a route and reached the city, but luckily, Min Hanbatian’s men were not there to ambush them, and very quickly, they met the guide sent by Lord Jia, and entered the city through a side door.
Lord Jia came from far away to welcome them. When he saw the crown prince who was carved out of the same mold as the previous emperor, he immediately knelt down. His eyes were filled with tears, “This old servant’s wait is worth it …”
When Lord Jia shouted, all the surrounding soldiers kneeled on one knee in unison. Their armor emitted a dense smell of rust, and they finally waited for their hope.
It turned out that this was the darkest night before dawn.
Xue Moyun smelled the blood and the various metallic and dust smells, but her stomach was not feeling bad at all. Her emotions were being controlled by them, and her blood started to boil.
These soldiers were all good men who protected their families and the nation. Those who defended the country’s orthodoxy were the people’s lucky stars.
How lucky was he to be able to stand together with them.
No matter how mature the Crown Prince was, the person living in his body was only a twelve-year-old teenager.
It carried the sensitivity and vulnerability of a youth.
His nose felt sour, and he blinked twice, not letting the tears fall from his eyes. He bent down and placed his hands on Lord Jia’s arms, “Lord Jia, please rise. In this period of time, thank you, without you, the comfort barrier really would have been over. ”
“This old official has done his duty as an official. Your highness, you are the hope of the people.”
After Lord Jia finished speaking, he casually wiped away the tears on his face and roared, “Soldiers and soldiers, listen up! Welcome back, Crown Prince! ”
“Welcome back, Your Highness.” The cheers of the soldiers almost broke through the clouds, reaching the ninth heaven.
For a moment, morale rose sharply.
Xue Moyun and Mu Ying stood side by side, looking at them with gratitude.
With the encouragement of the crown prince, the demoralized soldiers all took up their weapons, ready to fight to the death with the emperor’s soldiers.
In front of the city was a wide expanse of land.
The two armies faced off against each other, and the flames of war swirled in the air.
Min Hanbatian brought along his Minhan family’s wings and the Emperor’s team as they stood at the city’s gate, looking at them arrogantly.
Min Hanbatian’s horse was at the front, and on his left and right were Min Hanxiangru, Minhan Changyang, and many other generals.
And at this time, a path was gradually opened up among the opposing army, only to see Lord Jia riding over together with Mu Ying and the rest.
“Mu Ying, why is he here? Why are they not seeing Xue Moyun, did they meet him in the end? ” When Minhan Changyang saw Mu Ying, his heart was moved. If not for the confrontation between the two armies, he really wanted to ask Mu Ying about his situation.
That day, when the black-clothed youth returned, he said that Xue Moyun had been captured by the Prime Minister and was still receiving her punishment. He tried to think of a way to save Xue Moyun.
However, when he came out, he heard the news that the general that had captured him had already been killed by her and even saved the crown prince.
Minhan Changyang heaved a sigh of relief:
“As expected of the woman I like. She really is bold.” This general is actually so reckless, daring to have any thoughts about Xue Moyun, he is clearly seeking death. ”
Seeing Lord Jia riding his horse forward and walking in front of the rebel army, he became extremely furious and shouted:
“Jia Feng Jiu, you traitor. The Emperor sympathizes with you and allows you to return to your homeland. I didn’t expect you to be so ignorant as to dare to lead an army and rebel. If you regret your actions today and surrender, I might be able to leave you with an intact corpse. ”
However, Lord Jia was not moved by Min Hanbatian’s threat. Instead, he raised his head and laughed: “Min Hanbatian, you treacherous official, what big words you have there! You are disloyal, unrighteous, have control of the imperial government, plotted against the imperial court, and destroyed my thousand years of foundation, how could His Highness the Crown Prince forgive you? ”
“I was wondering why he became so unyielding today. It turns out that he just picked up a useless crown prince and he feels that he has someone backing him up!” When Min Hanbatian said this, he suddenly raised his eyebrows, “A child with a yellow mouth, and also a defeated opponent of the Emperor, thinking that he could make a comeback, is simply a joke.”
Hearing this, Minhan Changyang finally calmed down. The crown prince had been saved by Xue Moyun back then, and now that Mu Ying had brought the crown prince back, he guessed that he must have met with Xue Moyun.
Since that was the case, he could fight in peace now that he knew that she was still safe.
Today was a life-and-death battle, Minhan Changyang knew that he had done too many wrong things for Xue Moyun. Now, it was time to make amends.
“The Crown Prince only wants people to know who he is. He has the heart of the world, is the direct son of the previous Emperor, and is also the Crown Prince. The throne should be inherited by him. Now that I have been captured by you all for so many years, it’s time to return the favor! ” Lord Jia’s expression did not change, but the aura in his tone did not lose out to Min Hanbatian’s at all!
Hearing that, Min Hanbatian was immediately angered: “Cut the crap, let’s meet on the blade and sword! “Today, let’s see who will be the true winner of masturbating!”
“Soldiers, listen up!” Take off this Jia Feng Ju’s head! Reward of 1000 gold taels! “One step for dukedom!” Min Hanbatian shouted to the army behind him with all his might.
“Soldiers, after so many years of being bullied by this treacherous official, you should report it today.” “For comfort, and for the good lives of your wives, children, and children in the future, charge!” Lord Jia also raised his blade and led everyone to rush up.
Mu Ying took the lead, swept through everything, no one could stop him, the figure seemed to be enlightened.
Blood splattered everywhere he passed, but he did not even blink.
The soldiers behind him were all staring with furious eyes as they worked hard to kill their enemies.
All these years, the Emperor had been in a state of disgrace and treachery. Who knew how many people had their wives disintegrated and their families destroyed by this tyrannical government? Only then did they muster up the courage to resist.
New corpses continued to lay on the ground. Some were from the enemy side, while others were from their own side. Broken limbs flew in front of his eyes.
The exhausted soldiers looked as if they had been injected with chicken blood. Their hands continuously waved about, as if they would never know what fatigue felt like.
If he wanted to stand out in this chaotic world, he would need to be extremely vicious.
More and more people died, and more and more soldiers were wounded in the camp.
