C352 Take up the post

At the beginning of the thirty-fifth year of the Heaven realm, the sky was cold and a light snow fell.

Mo Yun had personally led three hundred thousand Wu Huan Army and Mo Bei to attack the borders of the Heavenly Saint Realm, while Heavenly Saint Crown Prince Xuanyuan Chen himself led three hundred thousand Heavenly Saint Army to join together with all the soldiers at the borders to defend against the enemies.

The same year, Crown Prince of Chu met Wu Huan face to face. They discussed military matters, and teamed up to attack the Heavenly Saint, while the Heavenly Saint suffered the attacks from the enemy, and struggled to defend.

The two hundred thousand Army of Chu s went all the way south, encircling the southern border of the Heavenly Sacred Grounds. Ye Jiaze escaped outside and was lobbied by Gongsun Heng to bring the fifty thousand Army of Chu s to attack Jiangzhou.

A great battle was imminent, and the Heavenly Sage was on the verge of death.

White snowflakes fell from the sky and a gust of cold wind howled.

On top of the Mo Bei's city gate, Xuanyuan Chen stood with his hands behind his back. The soldier standing beside him was dressed in silver armor, and there was a long sword hanging by his waist. One of his hands was holding onto the sword hilt, while the other hand held onto a silver helmet.

The two of them gazed into the distance.

"A Rong, let's go for three months. "During these three months, you must ensure your safety." Xuanyuan Chen was dressed in a long black robe, looking dignified and solemn. Standing beside him, dressed as a soldier, was his wife.

The Xie family's liveliness.

Her black hair was tied into a tall, simple ponytail, and there were shredded bangs on her forehead. A few strands of hair flew in the wind between her temples.

"Xuanyuan Chen." Xie Qingrong enunciated Xuanyuan Chen's name one word at a time, serious and resolute, "In three months, I will definitely return you a safe and sound Jiang Prefecture and Xie Qingrong."

originally wanted Xie Qingrong to take away fifty thousand troops from the Mo Bei, but Xie Qingrong had rejected him.

After all, Wu Huan's three hundred thousand strong army was evenly matched against the Mo Bei's three hundred thousand strong army, and could form a balance. If a portion of his army was drawn out, the Mo Bei would definitely find it difficult to fight.

Furthermore, if they transferred troops from the Mo Bei and troops along the way, it was likely that the Jiang Prefecture would be breached by the Army of Chu before they could make it to the Jiang Prefecture.

Therefore, Xie Qingrong could only carry the ten thousand men from the Jiang Prefecture and make her final stand, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.

Xuanyuan Chen stood on top of the city gate tower and watched as Xie Qingrong and General Lin's horses galloped forward. They gradually turned into a black speck and disappeared into the horizon.

"Your Highness, Father and the princess consort will definitely be safe and sound, so Your Highness need not worry too much." Lin Mu consoled on the side, but his own heart was filled with boundless worry.

Although the Jiang Prefecture was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but ten thousand men against fifty thousand men and horses, the odds of victory were probably not high.

He could only pray that the Crown Princess and his father could safely defend the Jiang Prefecture. If they couldn't, perhaps …

Thinking of this, Lin Mu did not dare to continue thinking about it.

"Lin Mu, is it because I'm too useless? Otherwise, how could I agree to A Rong's request and let her guard the Jiang Prefecture? It would be impossible for her to win in such a battle." Xuanyuan Chen mocked himself. He was still staring at the distance, but his eyes were void, as though there was nothing there.

"Why would Your Highness think this way? In this general's heart, His Highness is the best master in the world." If not for Your Highness, Lin Mu would not be here today. " Lin Mu lamented.

That year, he had wholeheartedly wanted to learn medicine and had no other choice. If not for Xuanyuan Chen's recommendation, he wouldn't have been able to learn medicine from Imperial Physician Yu, who had already resigned from the position of Imperial Physician.

"You've been inspired to be a godly doctor since you were young, but now you've come to a backwater village to be a general. You've entered the life and death battlefield, and you only have the ability to save people and treat their illnesses." Xuanyuan Chen said indifferently, his tone carrying a bit of helplessness.

Lin Mu laughed, and his cold face suddenly softened, just like when rain and snow had just melted and the light when the ice had just started to shine, it was extremely rare.

"A canteen can be used to help the world anytime. But if you want to marry Changge, this lowly general's achievements must not go down a notch. This lowly general must not let Changge suffer grievances along with him. " Lin Mu said sincerely.

Each and every word was from the bottom of his heart. Furthermore, the Lin Family was originally a general that had served the Heavenly Sage Kingdom for generations to the end of their lives, so they definitely did not have any other intentions.

Xuanyuan Chen patted Lin Mu's shoulders, and turned around without saying a word. The wind blew through half of his hair, which was hanging down his shoulders.

Lin Mu pursed his lips, and still followed Xuanyuan Chen in the end.

Not to mention that the Mo Bei was on guard, they were only waiting for Wu Huan's army to clash head on.

Ye Jiaze personally led fifty thousand Army of Chu s all the way south from the Heavenly Sacred Border, and in the end they gathered at a remote suburb forty miles away from the Jiang Zhou City, and set up camp there.

Xie Qingrong and Lin An rode their horses past the public road, and from afar, they could see countless tents and armored guards.

Xie Qingrong gestured towards Lin An, and Lin An immediately understood. Following closely behind, Xie Qingrong carefully observed the enemy troops on the distant haystacks.

Lin An carefully observed for a moment, his expression somewhat serious, and said with a heavy voice: "Crown Princess, the situation doesn't seem to be good."

"What do you think, General Lin?" Xie Qingrong asked.

"These soldiers are patrolling in an orderly manner. The atmosphere in the barracks is also better than that of an ordinary military camp. I'm afraid it's a well-trained army. This lowly general has heard that the Crown Prince of Chu has an outstanding talent in military matters. If it is not within my expectations, this army must be the fifty thousand Army of Chu that were led by traitorous Ye Jiaze. " Lin An analyzed with reason.

Xie Qingrong nodded her head, the conjecture in her heart was most likely consistent with Lin An's analysis, she did not expect that the Army of Chu would come here sooner than they had expected.

When the letter clearly came to report, Army of Chu was still in Chu Country, but she did not expect that in just a few days, she had already set up camp outside of Jiang Zhou City.

"General Lin, we will circle around the Army of Chu's camp from the side later. Be careful not to attract Army of Chu's attention." Lin An softly warned as he solemnly nodded and quietly followed behind Xie Qingrong.

Xie Qingrong and Lin An circled around the encampment of the Army of Chu s and arrived at the city gate of the Jiang Prefecture.

The martial law of the Jiang Prefecture was already imposed, and there were more than double the number of soldiers checking the city gate. Seeing Xie Qingrong and Lin An riding their horses, they immediately went forward to stop them without thinking.

Since it was an eventful day, no one dared to casually place a suspicious person in the Jiang Zhou City.

"Who is it?" Two soldiers raised their long swords and blocked Xie Qingrong's and Lin An's path.

The two of them were in time to discuss something important with the official in charge of the Jiang Zhou City. Therefore, Xie Qingrong did not dismount from her horse and immediately showed the identity badge that Xuanyuan Chen had given her to the soldiers guarding the city.

Seeing that, the soldier immediately saluted and let them pass. After Xie Qingrong and Lin An entered the city, he whispered a few words into the ears of one of the soldiers.

The soldier that had been ordered nodded his head and made a detour to inform the Prefect.
