Chu Xuanchen clenched his fists tightly, and a cold light reflected in his black-gold eyes, "The princess must have been taken to Xueyue Kingdom by them. After a night's rest, we will continue to pursue Xueyue Kingdom."
"Yes." Mo Li said.
"Your Majesty, it's not good. Your Majesty has sent a 800-mile urgent call to call you back." At this moment, Mo Zhu led a messenger soldier who was dusty and walked over quickly.
"Eight hundred miles urgent? Oh no, Your Majesty, the Emperor must have known about your departure, so he sent someone to recall you." Shen Chengshan said nervously.
Chu Xuanchen clenched his fists and looked at the messenger soldier with cold eyes.
At this time, the messenger soldier had already walked towards everyone.
When he walked in front of Chu Xuanchen, he first bowed his hands towards Chu Xuanchen, then took out a bright yellow imperial edict from his baggage and said: "King Li takes the edict."
"Speak!" Chu Xuanchen said coldly.
The messenger glanced at him and said: "By God, the emperor has issued an edict: As a general king, King Li has no war, but he has mobilized his troops privately, left his post without permission, and is suspected of treason. You are hereby summoned to return to the capital immediately and accept it." Investigate, appreciate this!"
After saying that, the messenger soldier closed the imperial edict in his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the Emperor knows that you have mobilized troops privately. The Emperor is very angry and wants to see you immediately. Please go back with me and see the Holy One."
Chu Xuanchen was worried about Yun Ruoyue's whereabouts, but when he heard the messenger saying this, he immediately said coldly, "Are you ordering me?"
"I don't dare. I am also acting under the emperor's orders. Please don't put me in trouble." The messenger said bravely.
Chu Xuanchen looked at him, clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand, and his eyes were overflowing with murderous intent, "Are you using the emperor to suppress me? A small messenger dares to speak to me like this, are you looking for death? "
"Ah, I..." Seeing the murderous intent in Chu Xuanchen's eyes, the messenger turned pale and trembled in fright.
Chu Xuanchen shouted angrily: "I will give you a chance. You will disappear in front of me immediately. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless!"
"Yes, yes, little one, leave immediately." After the messenger finished speaking, he took two steps back with a look of horror on his face.
Then, he held the imperial edict and ran to his horse.
When he reached the horse, he quickly climbed on its back and beat the horse away frantically, as if someone was chasing him.
And the clothes on his body were already soaked with cold sweat!
At night, Chu Xuanchen was lying in the tent, but he couldn't sleep.
Thinking that Yue'er's life and death were unknown, he couldn't sleep peacefully.
Even if he finally falls asleep, he will be woken up by nightmares.
This happened several times, and he couldn't sleep again tonight.
He simply got up, walked out of the tent, and came to the river alone, staring at the sparkling river water in the distance in a daze.
"My lord, are you suffering from insomnia again?" At this time, Moli walked out of the tent.
As soon as he walked out, he saw Chu Xuanchen's lonely figure.
Chu Xuanchen looked at the quiet night sky, clenched his fists, and tugged his heart together, "I can't sleep at the thought of the princess' whereabouts being unknown."
"Prince, don't worry, Princess, she will be fine." Moli immediately comforted her.
Chu Xuanchen turned to look at him, looking anxious and worried, "Moli, where do you think the princess is? Is she okay? I'm really afraid that something will happen to her. If something happens to her, what should I do? What about the children? What to do? What to do with our home?”
Mo Li hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the princess has always been blessed with good fortune, she will definitely be fine. And didn't the eldest prince say that? It hasn't even been a hundred years, and I believe Long Qianche will never hurt the princess.
.”
Chu Xuanchen said excitedly: "But what if the princess is not kidnapped by him, but by someone else? I sent so many people to search everywhere, but there is no news about Yue'er. I am really afraid that she has someone else.
What’s unexpected?”
As he said that, he suddenly hugged his head tightly, with a look of sadness and self-blame on his face, "It's all my fault. I didn't protect her well. Maybe she is suffering now, and I'm not by her side. I really deserve to die."
!”
When he said this, his eyes turned red and his heart felt uncomfortable.
Mo Li hurriedly said: "My lord, no one would have imagined that something like this would happen. I believe that the princess will be fine. You haven't slept for a few days. You should have a good rest. After we have a good rest, we will go to see the princess tomorrow."
.”
Chu Xuanchen frowned heavily and said, "Okay, you go and rest first, I will come later."
As he said that, he looked into the distance again, feeling very heavy.
Seeing Chu Xuanchen's sad look, Mo Li sighed. He really hoped to find the princess quickly, so that the prince would feel relieved.
-
After Chu Xuanchen rejected an imperial edict, he did not expect that one day later, another imperial edict was sent to him from the palace to call him back.
Of course, he didn't take this imperial edict seriously and simply ignored it.
As a result, in the past few days, he received four or five imperial edicts in succession.
One after another imperial edicts came to him like reminders, each one more urgent than the last, and each one more tight than the last, forcing the soldiers to breathe.
But Chu Xuanchen ignored these imperial edicts at all. He led his men and rushed to Xizhou City, the border pass of Chu State.
Soon, Chu Xuanchen's large army arrived at the border gate of Xizhou City. As long as they got out of the border gate, they could enter Xueyue Kingdom.
From a distance, Moli saw the big characters "Xizhou Pass" in the distance, and said excitedly: "My lord, look, we have reached the border pass, it's great!"
"As long as we leave the border, we can enter the Xueyue Kingdom, and there is hope of rescuing the princess!" Shen Chengshan said happily.
Chu Xuanchen tightened the horse's reins, turned over and dismounted, looked at the crowd and said: "General Shen, thank you for your hard work!"
"Why do you need to say this, Your Majesty? We are used to fighting, so what is this hard work? On the other hand, Your Majesty, you have been worrying about the Princess and failed to take care of yourself. You have to hold on!" Shen Chengshan and others also dismounted.
"Don't worry, this king is fine." Chu Xuanchen said, "Let's rest here for a while and then leave the customs later."
"Your Majesty!" At this moment, Mo Zhu galloped towards him from afar on horseback.
When his horse ran in front of Chu Xuanchen, he immediately dismounted, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, it's not good, Prince Rui has led 10,000 elite troops to chase us!"
"What? Prince Rui is chasing you?" Chu Xuanchen gritted his teeth, his face full of anger.
Mo Zhu said: "Yes, and they are extremely fast. I heard that they seldom rest and killed many horses just to chase us."
As soon as Mo Zhu finished speaking, there were waves of horse hoofbeats not far away. The sound was earth-shattering and shook the earth.
Chu Xuanchen raised his eyes and saw countless cavalry chasing them in the dark not far away.
Where the cavalry ran, waves of yellow sand and dust and smoke were thrown up.
