After Jiao Didi escaped from the outer room, the prince went crazy

Xie Mingcang looked nervous, his brows were furrowed, and the sound of horse hooves was loud. He was absolutely unwilling to delay for a moment and was extremely anxious.

As the sun set and the sky slowly darkened, he still took the lead and rushed forward tirelessly.

After two days and two nights without sleep, he finally rushed back to Shangjing.

He stood outside the palace gate for a long time. When it got light and the palace gate opened, he took out the token Song Yanxing gave him and hurriedly entered the palace gate.

When Xiao Qi saw that the person coming was Xie Mingcang, she was stunned.

A few days ago, Song Yanxing went crazy looking for Xie Mingcang and Li Miaoyi in Dongling, but he couldn't find any information about them.

But I never thought that this person would come to my door today.

"Ms. Li, are you back with me?" Xiao Qi asked tentatively.

Xie Mingcang looked at her in confusion, "No, I'm the only one who's back."

Xiao Qi looked at him with hatred, but he knew why Xie Mingcang came back. It was just because of Liangchengguan and General Xie.

"Thank you, young general, for coming in with me."

The two of them entered the main hall together. Song Yanxing was wearing a moon-white robe, standing in front of the case, holding a problem in his hand, and he didn't know what was written on the rice paper in front of him.

"Coming? Thank you, young general."

Before Xie Mingcang could speak, Song Yanxing's cold voice sounded, without even raising his head.

Xiao Qi withdrew, closed the palace door, and stood guard at the door.

Xie Mingcang knelt down and saluted, "His Highness, you already knew that I was coming?"

Song Yanxing responded softly, "It's one day later than Gu expected. It seems that you and Wanwan have gone quite far, farther than Gu expected."

Xie Mingcang lowered his head and said nothing for a long time.

Song Yanxing guessed wrong on this point. The two of them were not far from going to Beijing, but the Fuzhou magistrate blocked the sky with one hand, and the news was blocked. The news about Liangzhou Pass may have come a long time ago, but it did not reach their ears.

"Let me guess where Wanwan is now. Is she in Jiangcheng?"

Xie Mingcang's heart skipped a beat. The two of them had indeed passed by Jiangcheng. If they had been slower, they might not be in Fuzhou now.

He quickly changed the subject, "Your Highness, I want to go to Liangchengguan with you when I come back this time."

"You have to talk to His Majesty about this matter. Your Majesty is still the one who calls the shots in this world now. What does Tonggu have to do with it?"

"Your Highness, you and I both know very well that Your Majesty has been a thorn in the side of our Xie family over the years. Now that something happened to my father, he might be playing into his hands. Once my father is gone, the Xie family will fall. If I take up the responsibility of the Xie family, His Majesty will naturally not be happy with this in front of a big flag."

Song Yanxing nodded, looking indifferent, looking at the words on the table, and said, "I know it, but why should I help you?"

Xie Mingcang closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were full of determination, "My Xie family has never participated in factional disputes, but I, Xie Mingcang, swear here that I will die to help His Highness ascend the throne. I will not regret my death."

Song Yanxing chuckled and put down the brush in his hand, "Mr. Xie, may he have forgotten that the head of the Xie family has always been General Xie."

The implication is that Xie Mingcang has no say in the Xie family.

"Your Highness, you can rest assured. Although my words are not as effective as my father's, he has loved me the most since he was a child, so my words are naturally useful." Xie Mingcang's tone was full of determination.

"Okay, I will trust you once. I will personally tell His Majesty about this matter. Just rest assured."

After Xie Mingcang left, Song Yanxing called Xiao Qi, "Send Wu Xiu to the towns around Jiangcheng to look for traces of Wanwan." Xiao Qi looked at him puzzled, "Your Highness, why is it around Jiangcheng and not Jiangcheng?"

Song Yanxing looked complicated and said, "Judging from Xie Mingcang's reaction just now, Wanwan will definitely not be in Jiangcheng. Send a message to Wuxiu as soon as possible. Dongling will not be peaceful in the near future. We must find Wanwan as soon as possible."

"Yes, Your Highness."

……

When General Xie woke up, he found himself lying in a cave, surrounded by thorns and weeds, and the mountains in the distance were vaguely visible.

"General, are you awake?" General Li lowered his voice and asked worriedly.

"What's going on?" General Xie snorted, "How is Liangchengguan going now?"

General Li turned away unnaturally and opened his mouth, but nothing came out. At this moment, a voice sounded outside, "Shh——"

General Xie frowned and stared at the mountains outside worriedly.

The soldiers stood ready, carrying heavy swords on their backs, holding their weapons tightly, and concentrated on observing the movements of the barbarians. They looked around, paying close attention to the situation around them, and were always prepared to deal with emergencies.

Their eyes scanned every corner without slacking off. These soldiers are strong and brave, and they are always vigilant to guard the safety of the general.

The shrill footsteps came closer and closer, followed by the beating of war drums.

The soldiers lined up in a row, holding long swords and waiting for battle. Opponents came like a flood, and the soldiers fought against them, dodging left and right, attacking and defending with their swords up and down. Every time they swung their swords, they seemed to cut off the heaven and earth.

They calmly met the barbarian attack. They took advantage of the surrounding terrain, had firm beliefs in their hearts, and were determined to protect General Xie behind them.

They watched every move of the barbarians and hit every blow without mercy. The combat skills of these soldiers are very superb, and every small movement is extremely precise.

The barbarians rushed forward like madmen, shooting arrows, throwing knives, and attacking constantly. However, the demeanor of the soldiers remained the same, with weapons in hand and firm eyes, never flinching.

Although the battle was extremely fierce, they never took a step back.

Facing the barbarians, the soldiers had two lives. Death was not a terrible thing. Maintaining the honor of Xie Jiajun was the most important thing.

Even though they were retreating steadily, the soldiers still persisted in everything and protected the general's safety.

General Xie heard the noise, picked up the long sword at his waist, gritted his teeth and wanted to rush out, but was stopped by General Li, "General, if you go out now, their persistence will be useless. The soldiers are just trying to protect you." After working so hard, do you really want everything they have done to be in vain?"

He knew that what General Li said was correct. If he was captured alive or died here, the consequences would be disastrous. He clutched the hilt of the sword tightly, and his palms ached.

The two of them listened quietly to the sounds of fighting outside.

After a long time, the sounds outside gradually disappeared and calm returned.

"Where is General Xie?" The man's voice was low, his tone was unnatural, and he had the unique nasal tone of the Southern Barbarians.

"I don't know——"

Everyone is of the same opinion.

"As expected of General Xie's soldiers, none of them are afraid of death, right!" The man snorted coldly and said loudly, "General Xie, I know you are nearby, starting in an hour! As long as you don't show up , I kill five soldiers every half an hour! Think carefully!"

General Xie clenched his fists.
