Chapter 736
The Shadow Squad charged into Jiang City with the edict and Tiger Tally, directly summoning the defenders of Jiang City to their aid.
The soldiers guarding the city had long since noticed the commotion, but they didn't dare to leave the city as they had no orders. At this moment, when the soldiers saw the imperial edict and Tiger Tally, they immediately ordered their troops and rushed out of the city.
Noticing the abnormality, the north scout in charge of security hurriedly turned around and reported to Helian Chuan, "Second Prince, Jiang Cheng has sent reinforcements. Please retreat."
Looking at the carriage not far away, Helian Chuan was unwilling to accept this. "It's going to succeed soon. Wait a bit longer and rush over. Whoever can capture Princess Yue Wangfei alive will be rewarded a thousand taels of silver and the grass field will be rewarded a thousand miles away!"
Once Helian Chuan's voice faded, the northern border soldiers became even more valiant. The Shadow Squad was gradually losing and after one person's arm was cut off, there would be a gap in their defense. The northern border soldiers immediately seized the opportunity to rush over and attack Mu Yunyao's carriage.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, an arrow pierced through the ice and snow with a whistling sound and pierced through the heart of the Northern Frontier person who was near the horse carriage. The arrow took two steps forward and threw him onto the ground.
Among Jiang Cheng's reinforcements, a person was riding a horse at the front of the group. He held a longbow in his hand like a full moon and shot out arrows. Each shot accurately took the life of a Northern Frontier soldier with each shot.
Helian could only bring his men and retreat quickly.
Jiang Cheng's guards rushed over and surrounded Mu Yunyao's carriage. The general leading the troops came forward and bowed, "This subordinate greets Princess Wen Xian. Is the princess safe and sound?"
At this moment, the Imperial Court was engaged in a war with King Yue. The identity of the princess of the Yuwai Kingdom was far too sensitive and sensitive. Hence, the imperial edict had specifically addressed her as' Princess Wen Xian '.
The scholar opened the carriage's curtains. Mu Yunyao slightly leaned forward, revealing a gentle and beautiful face that was slightly pale. "Thank you for coming to help, General."
"Your subordinate shall fulfill my duty. Princess, there is no need to be polite. Thank you to Qing Wu. If it weren't for his amazing archery skills, those Northern Frontier people would have already approached Princess Cangfei's carriage."
Qingwu?
Mu Yunyao raised her eyes to look over, and then her pupils slightly contracted: Su Qingwu …
That person was clad in armor, and his countenance was still as handsome as before. However, the gentle and refined aura emanating from his body faded away, replaced by determination and coldness. "Su Qingwu greets Princess Wen Xian."
Mu Yunyao's expression was complex. After a long while, she revealed a slight smile. "It's been a long time since we last met. Many thanks for saving me earlier."
Her face was pale, and the corners of her lips did not seem to have the slightest hint of blood. She seemed to have an indescribable feeling of tender affection, but her eyes were so clear that they were unforgettable.
"Princess, you are being too courteous. Please enter the city to recuperate."
Just as the carriage was about to move, the sound of horses galloping could be heard.
The garrison troops of Jiang Cheng immediately took precautions, "Who are you?"
"Princess?" Yu Yi dismounted from his horse and ran towards the carriage. Behind him, the soldiers of the western part of Guangdong Province were drenched in blood. When he was on his way, he encountered Helian Chuan and the other Northern Frontier people.
"Yu Yi?" How is the Prince? " Mu Yunyao hurriedly asked when she saw Yu Yi.
"Your subordinate greets Your Highness," Yu Yi said as he suppressed the excitement in his heart. "Your Highness is in danger. Please follow me to the west of Guangdong Province."
"Princess?"
Su Qingwu's heart tightened. "There's a doctor in the army. Let him take a look for the princess."
The doctor was quickly caught, and after checking Mu Yunyao's pulse, he was so shocked that he broke out in cold sweat, "This … The princess must have been pregnant for nearly eight months. She was about to give birth, so how could she continue on this long journey? Now the child has signs of premature birth and needs to rest immediately. "
Yu Yi tightly clenched his teeth as he stood to the side, unsure of what to say.
Xu Yanhan composed himself.
Order: "Enter Jiang Cheng, and let Yun Yao rest for a day before leaving."
Yu Yi raised his head and looked at Mu Yunyao's expression. He opened his mouth, but didn't say anything in the end.
Mu Yunyao extended her hand to hold onto Xu Yanhan's arm as she weakly said, "Mother, allow me to ask Yuyi a few questions first."
"Yao'er …" Xu Yanhan was worried.
Mu Yunyao went straight to the point. "Yu Yi, has the Poison Matriarch been able to find out what kind of poison the Prince is infected with?"
"Reporting to esteemed wangfei, the Poison Matriarch said that the poison in the prince's body isn't poison, but Gu."
"Gu?" Mu Yunyao's heart sank, as if a large stone was pressing down on her, causing her to find it difficult to even breathe. "What symptom?"
"After your highness was poisoned, you immediately took the antidote given by the wangfei. Right now, you're unconscious, so the wound on the golden hairpin can't be healed. The wound is black, and blood flowed unceasingly …"
"How long has it been?"
"Twenty-five days."
Mu Yunyao's vision turned black and her heart was filled with grief as she almost fainted, "Mother, we can't wait anymore. Once the thirtieth day comes, Jun Yue will definitely die!"
"Thirty days?" Yu Yi trembled. From here, he would need at least three days to travel day and night to return to western Guangdong.
Mu Yunyao took in two deep breaths before gently stroking her stomach, "Child, you heard from mother that mother wants to hurry and rescue your father. You have to be stronger, just wait obediently, okay?"
Mu Yunyao repeated it three times in a row. It wasn't clear if it was due to her comforting feelings, but the pain in her abdomen actually lessened a little. She took a pill and ate it, then resolutely said: "Yu Yi, travel through the night to the west of Cantonese."
"Yao'er!" Xu Yan shouted coldly with a rare look of anger on her face, "Do you want to die?"
"Mother, my life is on the line. I want Ji Junyue to live as well!" Mu Yunyao held onto Xu Yanhan's hand tightly, her tone unquestionable, "If we travel for a few days, the child might be fine, but if we don't, Ning Yueli will definitely die!"
"You … You are simply a fool! " Xu Yanhan was angry, but looking at her pale face, she couldn't say any harsh words, "Let's go, let's go. Once Ning Junyue gets better, if he lets you down, mother will kill him first!"
Mu Yunyao heaved a sigh of relief and gave Yu Yi an order, "Let's go!"
"... "Yes!" Yu Yi's eyes reddened as he bowed respectfully to Mu Yunyao. Then, he stood up and gave the order. He led his men to surround the carriage as they quickly headed in the direction of the western Guangdong Province.
Su Qingwu stared in the direction of the carriage as it departed, her serene gaze causing ripples to appear in the air before finally turning into a wave of sighs. He thought that after experiencing the hardships of the army, the laurel tree in his heart had already withered. However, when he saw her face, he heard the sound of the osmanthus flower blooming.
Jiang Cheng looked at the direction Yu Yi and the others had left in and couldn't help but exclaim, "I heard that Duke Fu and his wife had deep feelings for each other and didn't believe it at the time. But now it seems that this princess is truly worthy of respect."
Su Qingwu suddenly spoke up, "General, I heard that our Jiang City will send troops to the west of Cantonese to support the imperial army?"
"That's right, the imperial edict arrived a few days ago. What's wrong?"
"Please let me go with you, General."
"You are a godly archer that this general has high hopes for. Stay here peacefully. I will write a letter to request for your meritorious service in a short amount of time …"
"General, I want to go to western Guangdong."
"You …" Jiang Cheng general frowned, "Qingwu, I know you're from an extraordinary background, but I know a bit about your past. You've suddenly decided to go to Western Guangdong Province, could it be..." For that? "
Su Qingwu lowered his head, but his body remained unmoving. "Please grant my wish, General."
"You … "Sigh, you guys go one by one. Forget it, if you're willing to go, then go. It's good to go and completely give up."
"Thank you, General!" Three days later, Mu Yunyao finally arrived at the base of the western Guangdong army.
