So Jiang Huatong was very calm after waking up and followed Jiang Xiang silently, looking for opportunities to escape.
She felt that this situation was inherently ridiculous.
She didn't think Jiang Xiang abducted her because of the deep love between father and daughter, but more because he thought she was of some use and wanted to exchange her for something better.
After the matter was settled this time, no matter life or death, she had nothing to do with Jiang Mansion anymore, and the life she owed to Prime Minister Jiang was finally repaid.
When Jiang Xiang saw the scene in front of him, without any hesitation, he directly asked the hidden guards behind him to seize the boat.
If they can seize the boat, they may still have a chance of survival. If they can't seize the boat, they will die here today.
There are not many people guarding the river at this time. If they wait any longer, more and more people will come over, so they have to move fast!
The two waves of people didn't say anything and just took action.
Generally speaking, the hidden guards brought by Jiang Xiang are highly skilled in martial arts, and the soldiers sent by Sulian City are no match for them.
It's just that these soldiers have weapons distributed by Sulian City and have cooperated for a long time, so they can barely compete with these hidden guards.
Jiang Xiang heard the sound of horse hooves behind him, and he felt a little anxious. People from the First City were already chasing him.
He said in a deep voice: "Don't fight with them, grab the boat! Leave quickly!"
The leader of the hidden guard also realized the seriousness of the matter. His eyes narrowed slightly, he drew his sword and rose into the sky, slashing at the soldiers.
He used all his strength this time, and those soldiers couldn't stop him at all.
He quickly pulled the boat over and said loudly: "Master Xiang, let's go quickly!"
Jiang Xiang grabbed Jiang Huatong and pushed her onto the boat.
Just as Jiang Huatong was about to be pushed into the boat, a sharp arrow shot over.
Jiang Xiang saw the opportunity very quickly, and quickly turned sideways to avoid it, and then put the sword in his hand on Jiang Huatong's neck.
When the cold blade came towards him, Jiang Huatong was not surprised at all.
Tang Miaoxin said loudly: "Let go of Huatong!"
She and Ning Guzhou were riding the best horses in the First City, and they were the quickest to respond, so they were the first to catch up.
Jiang Xiang smiled when he saw them: "I should have thought of it earlier."
Tang Miaoxin and Ning Guzhou rode over like a couple, they were a perfect match.
Jiang Xiang remembered that when he was in the capital, Ning Guzhou would often show off Tang Miaoxin through the city.
He felt that Tang Miaoxin's way of doing things was very familiar to him before, but she changed her appearance and Lu Yingxiu's identity was recognized by the First City.
He didn't think much about it.
Now when he heard Tang Miaoxin call out Jiang Huatong's name, he was completely sure that she was Tang Miaoxin.
Tang Miaoxin frowned, and Jiang Xiang said loudly: "Princess Qin, long time no see!"
Jiang Huatong gritted his teeth and said, "Miaoxin, leave me alone! Stop him!"
Tang Miaoxin smiled and said: "It's already at this time, how can I ignore you?"
Jiang Huatong said with red eyes: "I brought it upon myself this time, and I am not worthy of your rescue."
She knew what Jiang Xiang was up to, and she had had enough of her time in Jiang Mansion.
By this time, she knew she had no other way to go.
She whispered to Jiang Xiang: "Xiang Xiang has always felt that your blood is flowing in my body, so I should listen to you in everything."
"It's just that after all these years of leaving Jiang Mansion, I know how broad the sky is outside. It's impossible for me to go back with you."
"Since you still refuse to let me go, then I have no choice but to give you my life back."
After she said that, she directly hit the knife Jiang Xiang had on her neck.
Jiang Xiang knew that it was not good to hear what she said. He knew that she looked weak, but was actually the most assertive. At this time, she was probably determined to die.
Jiang Xiang quickly withdrew his sword, but even so, it was still too late.
The cold blade cut the main artery on Jiang Huatong's neck, and blood dripped out instantly.
Tang Miao was anxious and wanted to rush over, but was stopped by the leader of the hidden guards.
Tang Miao said anxiously: "Huatong, you must stop the bleeding immediately!"
Jiang Huatong, however, seemed to have not heard her voice and turned to look at Jiang Xiang.
Jiang Xiang said angrily: "You are crazy! You would rather die than go home with me!"
He really didn't expect that she would be so decisive.
Jiang Huatong did not cover the wound and allowed the blood to flow out.
She chuckled at Jiang Xiang: "I gave you my life."
"If you are not satisfied yet, kill me now!"
She made a mistake by letting Jiang Xiang go, but now Jiang Xiang uses her to threaten Tang Miaoxin, how can she let him get his wish?
For her, facing Jiang in the capital was truly a life worse than death.
At this time, death may be a relief.
Jiang Xiang met her gaze, her eyes were dark and decisive. Although she looked fragile, no one could change her mind.
The muscles on Jiang Xiang's face twitched: "How could I give birth to such a rebellious girl like you!"
Jiang Huatong said quietly: "Probably because you just gave birth to me, but never fulfilled the responsibility of educating me and ignored me, so I am not like you."
"Because I'm not like you, I was afraid and in awe of you when I was young, but I never had respect for you."
"I rescued you from the City Lord's Mansion and repaid the debt of raising you. Now that you are no longer my father, you have no right to accuse me anymore."
Prime Minister Jiang: "..."
He had mixed feelings in his heart at this time.
By the time she could speak, Jiang Huatong was already covered in blood, and her face turned pale.
Jiang Xiang knew that if things continued like this, Jiang Huatong would really die here today.
Although he was cruel and stern, and Jiang Huatong was not outstanding among the children in Jiang Mansion, she was his daughter after all.
The decisiveness and courage she showed today reminded him of the fact that she was admitted to the Imperial College based on her ability in the nunnery, which is enough to show that she is smart and decisive.
He had never paid too much attention to such a daughter before. He just wanted to deal with it step by step and exchange her marriage for some benefits.
As a result, the relationship between father and daughter was very weak, which led to today's break.
Only now did he know that Jiang Huatong might be his best daughter.
Jiang Xiang's mood was extremely complicated. He gritted his teeth and pushed Jiang Huatong in the direction of Tang Miaoxin: "Let's go!"
"I will pretend that I never gave birth to a daughter like you!"
The leader of the hidden guard's eyes deepened, he stretched out his hand to stop her, and said in a cold voice: "Exchange her for the eleventh prince!"
"Otherwise, not only will she die, but you won't be able to collect her body!"
After he finished speaking, he grabbed her and controlled her directly without stopping her bleeding. This was because he planned to use her body to threaten Tang Miaoxin.
Jiang Xiang said angrily: "What are you doing?"
The leader of the hidden guard said quietly: "She will die anyway. She seems to be of value. Of course, we must use her last value."
He was Emperor Cheng Ming's confidant, and his behavior was very similar to that of Emperor Cheng Ming.
