However, Xuanyuan Jing had never predicted that Xuanyuan Chen would set up an ambush on the way back to the camp. After all, when they received the letter, they had already understood that the people behind the scenes were Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong.
If they didn't have complete confidence, they wouldn't be so stupid as to fight him single-handedly!
The two people that were sent out did not return for a long time, and the irritation in Xuanyuan Jing's heart grew more and more. He flipped over a low stool beside his feet, and fiercely waited for Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong, and said coldly: "Are you guys waiting for an ambush?"
Xie Qingrong smirked. In her heart, she felt that Xuanyuan Jing was not that stupid, and she smirked: "King Jing must definitely know the journey it takes to get from here to the army camp. King Jing has definitely calculated the time it would take to return."
"Did King Jing forget? I's stepmother and little brother are already old, weak, and handicapped. How can they compare to the pace of the robust young man? On the way back, there will naturally be some delay."
Xuanyuan Jing coldly snorted in disdain, and said: "I'll trust you all this time."
When Xuanyuan Chen was agitated, he used a method to provoke Xuanyuan Jing, "Has Second Imperial Brother forgotten about what you just promised this duke. This king needs to personally witness the little gongzi in order for this king to believe in Second Royal Brother's sincerity?"
"Perhaps second royal brother wasn't so kind as to send Madame Xie and Young Master Xie back to the army camp. Those two weren't just there to escort them back. Who knows, they might have completely taken care of them en route."
Sure enough, Xuanyuan Jing was slightly agitated by Xuanyuan Chen, so he immediately ordered his men to bring Little Young Noble Xie over for Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong to see. Little Young Noble Xie was blushing, drinking some milk from his mouth.
They didn't seem to be making things difficult for the young master.
Xie Qingrong glanced at Ye Ningyu's pregnant stomach and understood that Ye Ningyu herself was a woman who was about to become a mother. She would not make things too difficult for the baby.
Xuanyuan Chen said indifferently, "Since you are willing to thank the little gongzi for being safe and sound, this king and the wangfei will naturally follow your orders."
Xuanyuan Jing's words were what Xuanyuan Jing was waiting for. Overjoyed, he immediately ordered his subordinates to tie up Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong and threw them into the dilapidated temple.
He threw a handful of fire into the temple. The temple was made of simple wood and straw, and when it came into contact with fire, it was immediately set ablaze.
The thick smoke and fire began to spread.
Xuanyuan Jing and Ye Ningyu stood in front of the lousy temple as Xuanyuan Jing laughed loudly, and said loudly: "Thank you, young noble. I will safely send him back to the army camp.
With that, he brought Ye Ningyu and arrogantly left.
Xuanyuan Jing did not plan to do anything to Xie Jing's wife and son from the start. His goal was Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong after all.
The raging fire would definitely burn them into ashes.
With their wishes fulfilled, Xuanyuan Jing and Ye Ningyu finally let go of the depression in their hearts.
However, after the two of them left, they did not expect that the ropes that bound Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong had already been cut open. The reason why they did not immediately escape was only to let Xuanyuan Jing and Ye Ningyu leave in peace.
It was all thanks to the arrow on Xie Qingrong's wrist that she was able to cut the rope. The sharp blade had cut the rope, so naturally, it was not a problem.
Both of them walked out of the fiery light with their hands tightly clenched. Their bodies seemed to be covered in a layer of golden light. However, if one looked carefully again, the clothes on both of their bodies had already been burnt to ruins.
Xuanyuan Chen helplessly let out a bitter laugh, and quickly returned to the camp with Xie Qingrong.
Lin Mu's wife and two sons had already safely returned to the camp. At this moment, Xie Jing was in the tent comforting them, the family of four reunited, the scene was extremely warm.
Although he knew that nothing could happen to Xuanyuan Chen and his, Lin Mu was still extremely worried. After all, no matter how strong they were, Xuanyuan Chen was still just an ordinary person.
Finally, under Lin Mu's anticipating gaze, he saw two dusty figures. They were Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong, who had been waiting for a long time.
Xuanyuan Chen looked at himself in disdain, then looked at Lin Mu who had come over and instructed, "Quickly prepare hot water and change of clothes for this king and princess!"
Seeing that the two of them had safely returned, Lin Mu's eyes faintly glowed with tears. His resolute face revealed a stiff smile, "Yes, I will immediately go and prepare."
After Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong had tidied themselves up, Xie Jing, together with his wife and two sons, had already been waiting for a long time within the main debt.
Even if he knew that this matter was caused by Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong in the first place, for his wife and two sons to be able to safely return to his side and for the four of them to be able to reunite, they would definitely need Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong's help.
Xie Jing pulled his eldest son An An Dong to kneel on the ground, while the lady beside him half-knelt with Yuan Yuan in her arms.
Her voice trembled as she said gratefully, "Thank you for saving my life, Your Highness. I am unable to repay you."
Xuanyuan Chen walked forward to pull Xie Jing and An An, Xie Qingrong supported Madam Xie.
"General Xie, what are you doing? This matter was originally because of Ben Wang. Your wife and master have been implicated by Ben Wang. No matter what, this king will not stand by and watch, let alone you, the great general of Heavenly Sage Kingdom, who has rendered countless merits for the Heavenly Sage Kingdom. Your daughter, Xie Qingrong, is also currently this king's wangfei. It makes sense for this king to come out and save you. " Xuanyuan Chen said indifferently.
His words were very accurate, causing Xie Jing and his family's heart to feel a lot more warm.
An An saw Xie Qingrong, and immediately ran to her side and pulled her sleeves, sweetly calling out: "Sister."
Although he was young, he knew that this sister had saved him. Moreover, this sister had given him such a precious gift!
Xie Qingrong pinched An An An's soft cheeks, her eyes filled with sincerity and gentleness. Although she was indifferent and didn't treat things right, she was always very gentle towards these innocent and kind children.
"Your Royal Highness, I feel that it is too careless to leave these soldiers' families in the military camp at the end. If today's events were to happen again in the future, I wouldn't be in so much danger that I could go rescue them."
"I believe that we can place the tents of these family members in the middle of the military camp. That way, we can prevent any unforeseen circumstances. Even if we send people to watch over those family members, it will only be a drop in the bucket."
Xuanyuan Chen furrowed his brows, and said after some thought: "This king will carefully consider A Rong's suggestion. Right now, we should find out where Xuanyuan Jing and Ye Ningyu are located. "Today, they think that the two of us have already died in the sea of fire. If they know that we did not die in the future, I'm afraid that there will be more troubles."
