If Jiang Huan hadn't dodged in time, it might not have been as simple as a strand of hair on the sideburns.
Jiang Huan waved his sleeve, and the sword was unsheathed in an instant, lying straight in front of him.
The leading general looked at Jiang Huan and laughed coldly, "Young lady can dodge this time. I wonder if she can still dodge this sword?"
I saw the general raising his sword high again, but this time, not only him, but also the cavalrymen who followed him all raised their swords, pointing at Jiang Huan.
The atmosphere was tense, and the silent smoke solidified between the two of them. It seemed that a fierce battle was about to break out at any time.
"That's enough." Chen Ruyi scolded abruptly, but it diverted the attention of these people to him.
The general had only noticed this flamboyant and extremely provocative woman before, but he had not paid attention to the two men behind her.
Just when he was about to give a word of advice, the moment he saw Chen Ruyi's face clearly, he quickly got off the horse.
He solemnly half-knelt on the ground facing Chen Ruyi, his arrogance just now completely extinguished.
The general said respectfully, "I am blind, I didn't see the prince, and I bumped into the prince. Please forgive me."
Chen Ruyi's face had already become extremely gloomy. He gripped the handle of the wheelchair tightly with both hands, and his silent anger seemed to be ready to burst out at any time.
He couldn't hide his anger and scolded, "Did you follow your father's orders to run rampant and bully women in the Jiang Kingdom?"
The general did not dare to answer. He just knelt on the ground with his head bowed and did not dare to say anything more.
He knew he had done something wrong, but there was no sign of repentance on his face.
This look made Jiang Huan even more angry. She took two steps forward, grabbed the general's clothes, and cursed fiercely, "The prince asked you a question, are you mute?"
This is related to the relationship between the two countries. If there was no confirmed order, how could these garrison troops dare to enter the city privately and ruin the peace of the people in Yuezhong?
But who gave them the order, and who forced the Lihuo Palace regime to not do what they did to these garrisoned troops?
Jiang Huan was filled with anger that almost overflowed. She wished she could open the general's heart and see how he was so evil to the core that he could do such evil to ordinary people.
"Replying to the prince, the general came to build the White Jade Tower in accordance with the emperor's imperial edict. However, the manpower for the construction of the White Jade Tower was insufficient, so he received the order and entered Yuezhong City to capture the men to build the White Jade Tower." The general replied quietly.
road.
He avoided talking about his evil deeds, but Jiang Huan had no intention of letting him go.
If he had not appeared today, then the life of this pregnant woman would have been threatened. If he had not set rules among this group of garrison today, then after he left, Yuezhong City would still have become that dead city, and the people would
They still can't return to their original normal life, and Jiang Guo still can't restore its original appearance.
This is not what Jiang Huan wants to see.
He knew clearly... He clearly went to Chen State to bring salvation to Jiang State and to reverse the catastrophe that Jiang State faced in his previous life.
"Have I asked you this?" Chen Ruyi's voice was cold and bone-chilling.
His fingers that were tightly gripping the handle had been freed, and his fingertips were tapping the handle lightly, silently urging and waiting for the general's next words.
But although the general's posture and attitude were extremely sincere, there was no intention of answering Chen Ruyi directly in his tone.
Being polite and respectful to Chen Ruyi seems to be just because of Chen Ruyi's status. But after all, Chen Ruyi is just a fictitious prince. Whether he should truly respect Xing or not depends solely on the general himself.
"Prince, the emperor's confidential edict. If the prince wants to know what the emperor ordered, please go back to Kyoto to inquire on his own. Don't embarrass the general." The general's meaning was clear enough, and he said respectfully.
He saluted, and then as if the process was over, he stood up straight and prepared to ride away.
In his eyes, it seemed that Chen Ruyi only needed to abide by this set of rules and procedures. As for what Chen Ruyi wanted him to do or what he wanted to ask, that was not part of this set of procedures.
The general made a gesture to the cavalry troops behind him, and the group of troops turned around in an orderly manner and left without looking back.
The moon-shaped city where the iron cavalry rode was filled with dust, as if there was only this endless dust left in this beautiful city.
Jiang Huan bit her lower lip angrily. How could she not hate it? She hated her powerlessness and her current situation.
She is clearly the fifth princess of the Jiang Kingdom, but she cannot even protect her own people.
The anger rising in Jiang Huan's heart almost wanted to devour her, but no matter what she did, she couldn't suppress the emotion that was almost out of control.
Her hand was suddenly held, and the warm touch came from her palm. Jiang Huan's heart, which had been restless just now, actually calmed down a little bit.
She couldn't help but hold that hand back, trying to draw the strength she needed.
"I will investigate this matter clearly." Chen Ruyi comforted in a low voice, "Give me some time."
Jiang Huan looked at Chen Ruyi's firm eyes and nodded vigorously.
Just when she was about to say something, she heard another sound of horse hoofbeats.
Jiang Huan's ever-present anger and sadness disappeared the moment he heard the sound of horse hooves.
She smiled excitedly, withdrew her hand and ran towards the direction where the horse's hoofbeats were coming.
From a distance, she saw the red horse that she was very familiar with, and the man riding high on the horse.
The man was dressed in a smart attire, with his long flowing gauze hanging behind him, making him appear as heroic as a man from heaven.
His face was also different from that of the men from the Chen Kingdom. There was an evil and sycophantic air hidden in his handsomeness, but when he looked at Jiang Huan, his eyes were full of tenderness.
"Xiao Huan!" the man shouted loudly. He turned around and jumped off the horse. He opened his arms and steadily caught the flying Jiang Huan.
Jiang Huan hugged the man's neck forcefully, rubbed it affectionately, and said happily, "Third brother! I miss you so much! How are you? Where's daddy? Are daddy and mother fine?"
The joyful look on Jiang Lu's face dimmed slightly when he heard these words.
He put Jiang Huan down and rubbed her head lovingly, "Let's go back to Lihuo Palace and talk about it. It's cold here, but the fire has been burned in the palace and it's very warm."
