C364 wake up

Xuanyuan Chen suddenly woke up. His hand that was resting on his head had long ago become somewhat weak and numb. Looking at the faint flame on the oil lamp, he laughed silently.

Pulling open the curtain of the tent, he peeped out and discovered that the sky was still rather dark, while the books on the desk were still open.

It was a clear indication that he had accidentally fallen asleep.

He touched his chest that was still throbbing and pursed his lips, then ordered someone to call Lin Mu over.

With an appearance of exhaustion that had yet to wake up, Lin Mu came to Xuanyuan Chen's tent. Seeing Xuanyuan Chen's somewhat serious and anxious face, he continuously stopped yawning and his entire person seemed to have become much more clear-headed.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Lin Mu asked. If it was not something major, the Crown Prince would never disturb her like this.

Xuanyuan Chen smiled somewhat bitterly, and said: "I don't know why, but today, I will always feel uneasy." He was worried that there might be something wrong with A Rong's side, but he couldn't say it clearly to Lin Mu.

Lin Mu thought for a while and finally understood what Xuanyuan Chen meant. He was actually worried about the princess consort's condition.

Lin Mu comforted her: "Your Highness, the Crown Princess is very intelligent. Whether it is her shrewdness or methods, she is far superior than ordinary people. "Since your highness has already handed the Jiang Prefecture to your highness, why not trust your highness?"

Xuanyuan Chen rubbed his forehead, and said: "Even so. However, today's emotions are exceptionally distinct, Gu … "

Before he could finish his words, an anxious figure rushed into the tent, disregarding the lack of etiquette. He shouted, "Master, Jiang Prefecture reports urgently!"

Xuanyuan Chen's relaxed expression immediately became serious. "Azure Dragon, didn't you go with Shen Haoxuan to the Jiang Province to support the crown prince's consort? Who allowed you to leave Jiangzhou without permission? "

The green dragon knelt on the ground, his face pale, his lips trembling as he said, "Master, Ye Jiaze is planning to use five thousand of the Army of Chu's elites to confuse the princess' line of sight, and lead the remaining Army of Chu s to attack the main tower. The princess consort only has ten thousand garrison soldier s in her possession, it is simply impossible for her to defend against those Army of Chu s who are known as the elite troops. "

"The Crown Princess isn't willing to let Master know. She's afraid that it might affect Master's mood and distract him. This subordinate acted on his own accord and quickly reported this matter to Master. I hope Master will decide! "

Xuanyuan Chen bit his lips, his deep eyes becoming gloomy and gloomy, a scarlet Qi gradually surging up. Seeing that, Lin Mu knew that the situation was not good, and ignored his etiquette and pressed down on Xuanyuan Chen's hands.

He exhorted, "Your Highness, calm down."

Xuanyuan Chen ruthlessly flung Lin Mu's hand aside, and his scarlet eyes met Lin Mu's eyes. Layers upon layers of fury and heavy killing intent startled Lin Mu.

He clenched his hands and bit his lips like an angry beast, trying to resist and growl.

It had been a long time since Lin Mu had seen such an emotionless Xuanyuan Chen, and the first time he saw him was when the former crown prince had fallen off a cliff. His hands subconsciously clenched and loosened. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

He could only repeat, "Your Highness, please calm down."

When Lin Mu comforted Xuanyuan Chen the second time, Xuanyuan Chen strangely calmed down, but this was more like the calm before the storm.

Xuanyuan Chen said in a low voice, "How can a man not even be able to protect the woman in his arms? Even if he was the crown prince of the Heavenly Sage, what was the use of having such a noble identity like the prince? When a calamity comes, yet you want your own woman to block it, how can there be such a logic? "

Lin Mu's heart was filled with grief. He silently patted Xuanyuan Chen's shoulder and said: "Your Highness, the prince's consort has her own way." But when the comforting words came out, Lin Mu knew it would not work.

"What is the situation in Jiang Prefecture?" Lin Mu looked at the green dragon kneeling below him.

The Azure Dragon said hoarsely, "The situation is not good. I am afraid the Crown Princess won't be able to hold on until the reinforcements arrive. "

Ten days ago, in Jiang Zhou City, five thousand elite Army of Chu were using their bodies to lure the enemy in, so Xie Qingrong was the guardian of the West Side Tower. Ye Jiaze personally led more than forty thousand Army of Chu s to attack the main city gate tower. The general of the main city tower, Lin An, led three thousand garrison soldier s to resist from the back.

An ice-cold arrow brushed past the side of Xie Qingrong's face and cut off the hair on the side of her face. She gently turned her face to the side and avoided the arrow.

His cold gaze met with Yan Yi's figure standing below the city gate tower, only to see Yan Yi raising the bow and arrows in his hands towards Xie Qingrong, his eyes filled with regret, regretful that he would not be able to kill Xie Qingrong with a single arrow!

Xie Qingrong looked at Army of Chu who kept climbing up the stairs before getting smashed by a rock. She pursed her lips, a bit of unease lingering in her heart.

Xie Qingrong turned her head and instructed: "Lord Jiang, go check out the main city building."

Looking at Jiang Yizhou's gradually disappearing figure, Xie Qingrong fiercely furrowed her brows. She wore an expression that would cause people to tremble, and she looked like a frozen lake, hard and cold.

The violet-gold whip in his hands clenched even harder. He was afraid that the battle today was not looking good.

What they were most afraid of was that these Army of Chu would use a sneak attack as a cover, but their real goal was to head towards the main city gate tower, which Lin An was guarding.

The main city gate tower only had 3000 garrison soldier s, I'm afraid …

Thinking this, the unease in his heart became even stronger, one of the stairs had a hole drilled in it, Army of Chu had already climbed it.

Xie Qingrong's eyes darkened, the long violet-gold whip fiercely rushed towards the Army of Chu who was climbing up, wrapped around his waist and ruthlessly threw him down towards the city gate tower. The other Army of Chu who were on the ladder also fell down.

The garrison soldier at the side gave a simple thanks to Xie Qingrong, and quickly joined the battle team.

A garrison soldier beside him was suddenly pierced by a sharp arrow, and fell down without making a sound. Looking towards the direction of the arrow, it was actually the man who looked like a general who held a bow and arrow just now.

He held an arrow in his hand and frowned deeply. He picked up the bow that was lying on the ground, nocked it with an arrow and pulled the bow.

The bowstring moved extremely fast and in the next second, the sharp arrows on the bowstring shot towards Yan Yi with an irresistible force.

The direction of the arrow was at the center of Yan Yi's back.

In that moment of life and death, Yan Yi seemed to feel a fatal danger.

Hurriedly turning his body, the arrow had hit his arm directly, his arm trembled slightly, Yan Yi bit her lips and turned to look at Xie Qingrong who was atop the city gate tower.

His eyes, which were filled with killing intent, were cold and devoid of any trace of humanity. It was as if the strong killing intent was about to pierce through him.

Yan Yi's heart could not help but tremble, he immediately forgot about the pain on his arm.

It seemed that the princess consort of the Heavenly Sage was a difficult character to deal with.

On the other hand, on the city gate tower, Xie Qingrong was upset about the arrow that she dodged, she took out another arrow and placed it on the bow, and aimed straight at Yan Yi.

Yan Yi's heart trembled, he took out the sword sheath from his waist, and prepared to respond.
