Those who understand the times are the true heroes!
Well done! Jiang Han did not make things difficult for Mu Jinkun; now they just have to wait for the Jade Sword. He called over Dali Si Qing, instructing him to keep a close eye on Mu Jinkun during this time, saying that beating him twice a day would suffice.
Dali Si Qing readily agreed, even stating that he would make sure to leave Mu Jinkun's skin red and swollen, but would not harm his internal organs or bones.
Huh? I’ve already agreed, and you still want to hit me? Jiang Han, you can’t play like this!
Mu Jinkun became anxious and attempted to push Jiang Han away. However, he had barely taken two steps forward when the guards seized him and gave him a good beating. Afterward, with a bruised face, he wrote a letter detailing the situation so that the Ninth Princess could take it back.
The next day, at the Royal Post Station, the Ninth Princess received the letter written by Mu Jinkun. As she read its contents, which described his failed bet and impending execution, he could only plead with their father to exchange the Jade Sword for his life.
This is ridiculous; he lost and now drags the family down with him! Fine, I’ll take it back for you! Whether Mu Prime Minister saves you or not is your own business!
The Ninth Princess tucked away the letter and looked at those around her, asking, “How is everything coming along?”
“Reporting to Your Highness, we have almost finished packing!” replied a nearby guard. “We expect to be completely ready by this afternoon!”
“Good. Then after tomorrow’s morning court session, I will bid farewell to Da Zhou Emperor and set off.” The Ninth Princess didn’t want to say much more; she just wished to leave this place of sorrow as soon as possible.
Her three men: Quan Gai Su Wen, who represented martial prowess, had fallen here; Mu Jinkun, who represented literature, was detained here; and the Ten Heavenly Maidens—ten extraordinary female guards she had painstakingly trained—had all perished here. The One Thousand Maple Forest Iron Cavalry was completely annihilated!
After such continuous blows, the Ninth Princess no longer wished to fight; she was exhausted and could not bear it any longer.
That night, in Langya Wangfu, Che Chengming returned in black attire and reported to Langya Prince: “Father, the ambush has been prepared!”
One hundred Jiang Jiang and three hundred bodyguards have already secretly left the city! As soon as the Ninth Princess’s team sets off, we will surely intercept her midway.
Langya Prince nodded slightly and took a sip of tea before speaking: “Su Qianxue, since you are doing this, let’s go to war!” They planned to ambush the Ninth Princess and frame Su Qianxue or the local officials for it.
No matter what, as long as the Ninth Princess dies here, the countdown to war between the two nations will begin.
Father, at this moment, if we assassinate the Ninth Princess, even if Xia Kingdom goes to war, it would actually... Che Chengming thought for a moment and steeled himself to say: The combat power of the Thirty Thousand Royal Guards may not necessarily be defeated by the elite forces of Xia Kingdom. He believed that unless they consumed Su Qianxue's army in battle, launching a war now would not yield significant results.
Langya Prince, however, sneered: What we want is a large-scale war. In this way, the king will not believe that Jiang Han and that mysterious force are still hiding their connections so seamlessly.
By the way, you must remember that we cannot kill all the envoys; we need to leave some alive to deliver messages. As long as those people return with a letter written by Mu Jinkun and the body of the Ninth Princess, clearly explaining what has happened in Great Zhou, the tyrannical Xia Country Emperor and Mu Jinkun's father, Mu Prime Minister, will never let this go easily.
When the time comes for their army to attack, Su Qianxue will definitely need to consider provisions and military supplies. Jiang Han will provide these resources. The king will specifically send people to keep an eye on these matters.
Why worry about finding your contact point with Jiang Han? Father is wise! Then I shall take action immediately. Che Chengming quickly left Langya Wangfu.
Langya Prince returned to a room and saw Che Chengyun lying on the bed. He murmured: Che Chengyun, Father will avenge you! Initially planning to use Che Chengyun to lure Jiang Han into making a move, but now, plans must change!
The next morning, after following protocol and bidding farewell to Su Qianxue, the Ninth Princess led two envoy groups out of the capital city. One was a peace negotiation envoy group with around three hundred personnel, all soldiers, plus two thousand auxiliary troops from Maple Forest Iron Cavalry! The total number of combat soldiers was about two thousand three hundred, all seasoned veterans.
The other was a Literary Envoy Group with around three hundred members, mostly scholars and attendants with little combat capability. After departing from the capital city with an envoy group of two thousand six hundred people, they traveled for over half a month and arrived at Binzhou territory.
The Ninth Princess dismounted from her carriage to rest and gazed at the unfamiliar official road, feeling nostalgic. When she first came here, Quan Gai Su Wen had been behind her for support with Ten Heavenly Female Guards flanking her sides. It had been quite lively along the way; who would have thought that now she would return alone?
Your Highness! If we travel for another two months, we will be out of Great Zhou Dynasty's territory. A maid beside her approached with water.
At the moment the maid was about to hand water to the Ninth Princess, a Feathered Arrow came flying in, piercing through her neck. The Ninth Princess was initially startled, but she quickly drew her weapon and shouted, "Formation, defend!"
As her words fell, Feathered Arrows rained down from the peaks on either side like a curtain of rain. The Ru Scholars from the Literary Envoy Group suffered heavy casualties in an instant. The Two Thousand Soldiers attempted to form a defense, but in the next moment, they were struck by Thunderous Rolling Logs.
On the mountain peak, the masked Che Chengming issued commands one after another. First came the Arrow Rain! Then followed the Thunderous Rolling Logs. After these two waves of attacks, the Soldiers of Xia Kingdom in the special zone faced devastating losses. They had never anticipated that they could be attacked even within the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Before they could react, Che Chengyun led hundreds of elite troops into a charge, personally bringing along over a hundred skilled fighters to break into the enemy ranks!
The sounds of swords piercing flesh echoed through the air. The cries of anguish were relentless as the Soldiers, exhausted from defending against the Thunderous Rolling Logs, faced the fierce onslaught of their enemies and lost hundreds in an instant.
The Ninth Princess looked on in utter shock at all that was happening, crying out in despair, "Who dares to attack the palace?"
"Kill the Ninth Princess! Kill the Ninth Princess!" Che Chengming and several Jiang Jiang shouted loudly.
Immediately, this group of a hundred men hacked their way through various Ru Scholars, Soldiers, and maids, determined to reach the Ninth Princess.
Wielding her long weapon with all her might, the Ninth Princess managed to take down two skilled opponents but was then kicked in the chest by Che Chengming, sending her flying backward.
She coughed up a mouthful of blood and looked desperately at the approaching enemies, her face filled with indignation.
