The Rebellious Princess - C386
“Lord Vanguard, there is someone outside seeking an audience with Lord Vanguard.”
Qin Tianxiong was getting annoyed; there was no way for him not to be annoyed. His father had sent Kou Wuji to lead the troops to attack Xiao Shan Pass. This news had made him very upset.
Lou Lan’s defeat, the removal of the Sword Tower’s encirclement, and Jade Gate Pass sending out troops to expel the bandits and bandits to the northern border’s Da Yue branch — all of these things left him at a loss as to what to do.
He had promised to avenge Yue Chan and Juan’s death, but seeing that his soldiers had been annihilated, he was not without hesitation, remorse, and self-blame.
However, all of that had vanished in a puff of smoke the moment he saw Yue Chanjuan.
“What am I hesitating for? What am I afraid of? Compared to Zhong Ao Shuang, what I did was too little. Zhong Ao Shuang was right, she was in her most difficult times, and when facing death, I was not by her side. Right now, I am only fulfilling my promise from before. Why would I hesitate to do so? ”
“Who wants to see me?”
“Lord Vanguard, the person who came was unwilling to reveal his identity. He only said that he was an old man from Poplar Slope.”
“Chan …”
Qin Tianxiong hurriedly walked out. There was a handsome figure wrapped in white with a bamboo hat on her head. A white veil fell from the bamboo hat, covering her face.
A few white dogs followed closely by her side. Even so, Qin Tianxiong’s eyes locked onto the white figure as he hurried forward: “Please talk inside. Men, don’t let anyone within a hundred feet of this vanguard’s tent get near.”
“Yes, sir.”
Yue Chan gracefully turned around and entered Qin Tianxiong’s tent to remove the bamboo hat on his head.
“Your servant pays his respects to the princess.”
Qin Tianxiong lifted up his clothes and bowed. Yue Chanjuan immediately supported him, “There’s no need to be so courteous. Sit down and let’s talk.”
Qin Tianxiong excitedly held onto Yue Chanjuan’s arm. “Chanjuan, why did you risk your life to come here? If you want to see me, you only need to say a few words and I’ll definitely meet you at the mountain pass.”
“It’s not convenient for you to go there either. When I heard that the northern duke of Zhenbei had arrived, I became worried and came to see you.”
“My father? He came here? ”
“Yes, although it is on the surface that Kou Wuji is leading the troops here, in reality, it is your father who is leading the troops here.” I have come here to inform you of this matter, to make you be more careful. My revenge is important, but your safety is more important. ”
“Chan Juan …”
Qin Tianxiong was indescribably excited as he gazed lovingly at Yue Chan’s delicate face.
Yue Chanjuan took two steps back, pushing Qin Tianxiong’s hand away without leaving a trace. “Sit down and talk.”
She walked to the table and sat down. Qin Tianxiong lowered his head in disappointment as he looked at his hands. The fragrance of her arm was still lingering there.
“Qin Tianxiong, take a seat.”
“Yes, many thanks for the princess’ bestowment.”
He recalled the identity of these two people and how awkward it was for them to be together. He looked at Yue Chan unwillingly, wishing that he could go back to the time when they had just met.
He fell in love with her at first sight, and from then on, he had her image in his heart.
“You know about the army from Great Kang?”
“I just found out that Xiao Shan Pass is currently extremely dangerous. If my father were to personally lead the troops here, Xiao Shan Pass would be in danger. Chan Juan, you should leave this place as soon as possible and return to the entrance. ”
“You want me to go back outside the Jade Gate?”
Yue Chan’s serene and deep eyes looked at Qin Tianxiong, filled with endless grief. Qin Tianxiong’s heart involuntarily trembled as he lowered his head, afraid to meet her gaze.
“Princess, this subject is only worried for the safety of the princess. If possible, I would rather stay by her side and protect her.”
“You know it’s impossible, so why do you say it? I won’t force you to do that.”
His voice was filled with endless sadness and desolation. When it entered Qin Tianxiong’s ears, it was as if lightning had struck him, causing his body and mind to simultaneously tremble.
He had originally wanted to stay at the pass, stay with Big Moon Sect and wait by her side like Zhong Ao Shuang, accompanying her and protecting her all the time.
At that time, he had thought that perhaps, their previous relationship might be able to continue, but even if it was only a tiny bit, it was still more promising than being separated by two foreign lands.
He had always believed that he was in Yue Chanjuan’s heart. She had never forgotten him, and her love for him was incomparable.
His heart ached when he heard that she had no choice but to accept the arrangements for him to leave the palace in order to prevent him from being sent by the Emperor to the northern border to preserve the last line of blood for the Qin family.
He never knew that the reason why she left the shop with him was for him, to save his life.
How many times had he hated Yue Chanjuan secretly? Why didn’t he fight her? Why did he agree to go to the Imperial City to make peace with his wife?
It wasn’t until they met again that he finally understood that all of this was for his sake.
He hadn’t experienced much of the Emperor’s iron hand techniques, but that didn’t mean he didn’t know. He also understood that if the Emperor intended to use him to threaten Yue Chanjuan and threaten her, he would very likely be killed by the Emperor.
It turned out that it was none other than him who had forced Yue Chanjuan to reveal herself.
“I, as a man, am unable to fight against her. My grandfather is holding me captive in the manor, and if he wants to send someone to bring her a message, he can’t even get a single word from her, let alone a weak girl like her!”
He could not help but lower his head in shame. He lifted his clothes and knelt in front of Yue Chanjuan. “This subject is ashamed and has no face to face the princess.”
He lowered his head and prostrated himself on the ground. At this moment, facing Yue Chan, a deep sense of guilt rose from the bottom of his heart. He couldn’t go to the Great Moon Sect. He couldn’t do what Zhong Ao Shuang had done. The endless grief he felt caused him to sink into a deep state of grief and shame.
He couldn’t protect his beloved her, and he even wanted his beloved girl. She was so elegant and beautiful, like a fairy. For his safety, she was forced out of their relationship, going through all the pain and death.
Yet he still had to be so determined. He couldn’t follow her to the Great Moon Sect and protect her. At this moment, he suddenly lost all traces of disdain and jealousy towards Zhong Ao Shuang. Instead, from the bottom of his heart, he deeply respected that man who did not ask for anything in return and was willing to disgrace himself and stay by Yue Chanfeng’s side, protecting him with his life.
“Qin Tianxiong, even if you wanted to, I would not allow you to do so. As long as you are safe, you should not have come to the northern border. The reason I left the city was so that you could stay in the capital. Unexpectedly, you still ended up in the Northern Frontier. ”
“This subject thanks the princess for her care and concern. Your Highness, please allow this subject to stand guard at the border of the northern border for a long time. “In order to avenge the princess, I will do my best to fulfill her wish.”
There was a difference between monarchs and officials. In these two foreign kingdoms, she and he could only look at each other from afar. The only thing he could do was to do his best to help her take revenge.
