Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 807 Plum Blossom
"Stop quickly! Or shoot to kill!"

"Who! Who dares to stop the Southern Chu Imperial Army from handling the case!"

Jiang Yuanyuan reined in his horse, and the hooves and yells of the imperial guards came from behind him. The commander of the imperial guard who was archery chased after him. Seeing Li Jinniang who had disappeared out of thin air, there was great anger in his eyes, and he waved his hand violently.

Tuk Tuk Tuk!
Arrows shot at the huge carriage one after another, but the outer wall of the carriage seemed to be covered with iron sheets, so the arrows couldn't penetrate.

The guards beside the carriage did not report their names immediately due to the master's order, but they also gathered around at this time.

"stop!"

At this time, Jiang Yuanyuan glanced at the emblem on the carriage from the corner of his eye, turned his horse's head, drew his sword out of its sheath, and shouted at the commander of the imperial army.

"Keep your dog eyes open and see whose car this is!"

Song Qian in the car smiled slightly when he heard the sound, and waved to the outside of the car.

The huge carriage that was traveling at high speed stopped.

Seeing the emblem on the stopped vehicle, the imperial guards who were chasing after Jiang Yuanyuan were taken aback, "People from the Middle Tang Dynasty?"

"That's right, I'm Song Qian, the stepson of the Middle Tang Dynasty, and I'm about to leave Southern Chu for Dongwu." Song Qian lifted the curtain of the car, looked at Jiang Yuanyuan with a complicated expression beside the carriage, and bowed his hands, "So it's the Second Highness of Southern Chu, This is the first time we have met like this, sorry for the disrespect."

"The third prince of the Middle Tang Dynasty?"

The originally arrogant commander of the Imperial Army shrank his pupils when he saw the young man in brocade clothes, but he looked at the window with feather arrows stuck in the rear compartment of the carriage, and his expression became arrogant again.

"We are the imperial guards of the Southern Chu Royal City. This time, we have been ordered to arrest the second daughter of the Li family in Danyang. Please don't stop the stepson of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Abstain?" Song Qian's eyes widened upon hearing the words, "Oh, what's wrong with a weak girl like Second Miss Li? She wants to be arrested?"

"This girl is bold and reckless, she has a royal marriage contract, but she escaped from home today." The commander of the forbidden army glanced at Jiang Yuanyuan and said loudly, "Your Majesty has ordered His Highness to lead us to bring this escaped woman back, regardless of life or death!"

"Escaping marriage? This is a big deal!" Song Qian nodded seriously, "But we just passed by and didn't see Miss Li?"

"You..." The commander of the imperial army stared wide-eyed at Song Qian, who was talking nonsense, and pointed to the rear compartment of the carriage, "Nonsense! I just saw someone pull that woman into this carriage!"

"How did you talk to the stepson of the Tang Dynasty!" Jiang Yuanyuan turned around and shouted, but seeing the indignant eyes of the people behind him, he sighed in his heart, walked to the carriage, and bowed his hands to Song Qian.

"Song Jizi, we people don't speak dark words. Just now, under the watchful eyes of everyone, we did see someone pull Miss Li into this carriage."

Feeling the eyes of the forbidden army behind him, Jiang Yuanyuan took a deep breath, and looked at Song Qian, "This girl has a marriage contract with Xiao Wang, please ask Stepson Song to hand her over."

"Someone pulled her into the carriage?" Song Qian stepped aside and let Zhao Guang look into the compartment behind him. When he saw Ji Jiashu and the others, Zhao Guang's eyes froze for a moment.

"Second Highness, you also saw that none of us big men made a move." Song Qian said leisurely, "How much strength is needed to pull a person into the carriage when the carriage is driving fast, who can do it?"

Yes, Jiang Yuanyuan closed his eyes, he also wanted to know who could do such a thing.

Who would dare to do such a thing.

Thinking of the slender hand that he had glimpsed just now, and the familiar cloth belt on the wrist of that hand, Jiang Yuanyuan had a delicate expression.

"The stepson's carriage seems to have a laminate," said the commander of the imperial army behind Jiang Yuanyuan coldly, "I need to search it later!"

Song Qian's face turned cold, and the surrounding guards of the Tang Dynasty also gathered, and the atmosphere was tense.

At this time, a cold female voice came from behind the carriage, "Your Highness, thank you for your kindness, but I don't intend to trouble others, let me go out... eh!"

However, the woman seemed to have her mouth covered before she finished speaking.

"Li Jinniang! Sure enough, it's inside!" The commander of the imperial army's eyes flashed, and he drew his sword and wanted to cut at the rear half of the carriage.

With a click, Jiang Yuanyuan's sword blocked the sword of the imperial army.

"Second Highness, you!" The commander of the Imperial Army looked angry and was about to question, but the boy on the horse sighed, and suddenly asked softly, "Your Highness, are you there?"

"I'm here."

All the imperial guards stared wide-eyed, but only heard a softer female voice coming from the back half of the carriage, and the next moment the window of the carriage, which was still pierced with feather arrows, opened, revealing the face of a young girl.

Ying Baoyue looked at Jiang Yuanyuan outside the window and smiled, "Second Highness, long time no see."

"The former eldest princess of Qin?"

"Junior leader?"

There was a commotion in the horseshoes under the seats of the imperial guards outside the carriage, and Jiang Yuanyuan stared at the bold girl behind the window with a complicated expression, but there was no surprise on his face.

"It really is you." The young man said quietly.

"I didn't expect the Second Highness to guess that I was here," Ying Baoyue smiled.

"Except for you, I don't know anyone who has such courage," Jiang Yuanyuan sighed, looking over her shoulder at the corner of Li Jinniang's clothes that was faintly exposed in the carriage.

In front of the forbidden army, she dared to rescue the woman who escaped from the royal family, which was something only she could do.

Speaking of which, the marriage contract between him and Li Jinniang was not unrelated to the accident caused by this woman at the primary ceremony, but he did not expect to meet her at this time.

But no matter whether Ying Baoyue dares to act or not, she is absolutely unable to save this escaped woman.

"Your Highness, the person you pulled into the carriage just now is my unmarried wife, who is also a sinner of the Southern Chu royal family," Jiang Yuanyuan said lightly, "It is a serious crime for a woman to escape from marriage. Please, Your Highness, return her."

"Sinner?" However, Ying Baoyue's expression didn't change when he heard his words, and he said lightly, "Jinniang doesn't want to marry you, so she doesn't want to go back with you."

Is this something that can be solved if you don't want to marry him?The veins on Jiang Yuanyuan's forehead were throbbing, she refused to agree if she had the ability!
"This matter is beyond your control!" Jiang Yuanyuan looked at Ying Baoyue coldly and said.

Even if he can't resist his father's order, what can she do?
"It's really wrong to break the agreement. I don't know if escaping marriage is a crime," Ying Baoyue looked at him and said quietly, "It's just that the mere crime of escaping marriage doesn't warrant death. Will not hand her over."

This was the first time he had seen someone who had escaped marriage as an inappropriate crime.Jiang Yuanyuan was taken aback when he heard the words, everyone in the royal family knew how serious the problem was.He looked at the struggling figure of Li Jinniang behind Ying Baoyue, and found that it was Ying Baoyue who held Li Jinniang down and refused to let her go.

"The one who sheltered the royal escaped marriage is guilty of the same crime, and the crime should be executed!"

Sure enough, the commander of the imperial army outside the car was furious when he heard Ying Baoyue's words, "How dare you detain my fugitive from Southern Chu under the blue sky and white sun? Today I will definitely take this woman away, even if it is the stepson of the middle Tang Dynasty and the princess of the former Qin Dynasty." Block our state affairs in Southern Chu!"

The commander of the forbidden army stared at Ying Baoyue coldly, "If the former Qin princess has any objections, then follow me to the palace and explain to His Majesty. Brothers, get in the car and arrest people!"

"Wait..." Jiang Yuanyuan stretched out his hand to stop him, but the girl in the car suddenly laughed softly.

"Don't be so angry, I won't give it to you," Jiang Yuanyuan looked at the Southern Chu Imperial Army who was at war, and found that the girl didn't have a trace of fear on her face. The next moment her eyes fell on his face and she smiled.

"But what you want to catch is the one who escaped from the divorce, isn't it?"

"Then, as long as she doesn't run away from the marriage, it's fine." Ying Baoyue smiled, leaned out and reached out to Jiang Yuanyuan who was sitting on the horse.

"Then Second Highness, you can come together."

　Huoyue, a genius who solves problems.
