After that, everything that happened seemed to be related to his family.
Ever since he had helped her own sister Ye Ningyu and drugged her, Xie Qingrong had always held a grudge against him.
However, this was good as well.
The son pays the debts of the father, the son pays the enmity.
Between him and Xie Qingrong, there would definitely be a day when both sides would meet in battle.
Xie Qingrong was not the least bit interested in Ye Jiaze's unfathomable eyes. She picked up her bow and arrow, pulled on the bowstring, and shot towards the Army of Chu below.
He died in one shot.
They had fired nine arrows and killed nine Army of Chu s.
The last arrow was on the bowstring, and it changed its direction as it pointed straight at Ye Jiaze. The body of the arrow shot straight towards Ye Jiaze with an imposing manner, as though it possessed the might of a thunderbolt.
Ye Jiaze seemed to have sensed danger as the hairs on his back stood up. He turned his head and saw the arrow that was flying towards him like lightning, and his pupils constricted.
He slightly leaned to the side, but he didn't manage to avoid the arrow. The arrow pierced through the silver armor and went into his right arm.
"Slash!" The sound of knives cutting through flesh rang out.
Ye Jiaze groaned, his eyebrows knitted together from the pain, he used his strength to pull out the arrow in his hand, causing blood to spurt out, three drops of blood splattering across the sky.
Ye Jiaze wiped away the blood droplets on his face expressionlessly. His eyes were as cold as ice and snow.
The final battle of the Jiang Prefecture lasted for a whole day and night, and the outcome of the battle still had not been decided. The garrison soldier of the Jiang Prefecture guarded the Jiang Prefecture with all his might, and even birds could not fly over the city gate.
Xuanyuan Chen smashed the teacup in his hand fiercely towards the kneeling green dragon and said angrily: "Gu Qishao has repeatedly asked you to protect the life of the crown prince's consort. But now you are telling Gu Qishao that the consort won't be able to hold on for much longer? What did that mean? "Is the princess going to defend the Jiang Prefecture?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Chen's face immediately turned pale white, obviously he had guessed Xie Qingrong's plan.
The Azure Dragon remained motionless when threw the teacup towards him and silently endured. Fortunately, the tea was a bit warm, otherwise the scalding tea would have burnt his face.
Seeing Xuanyuan Chen's slightly angered appearance, the green dragon immediately lowered his head and told him everything he knew, "Master, there are only a total of ten thousand garrison soldier s in the Jiang Prefecture and there are a total of seventy thousand troops in the Army of Chu. The princess consort brought her soldiers to fight with all they had. Young Master Shen said that the Jiang Zhou City might not be able to hold on until the reinforcements arrive. "
"In order to protect the citizens of the Jiang Zhou City, the Crown Princess also assigned a group of people to hand over to the Young Master Shen. She told him to lead the soldiers and arrange for the citizens to be evacuated overnight in order to prevent the danger of being slaughtered by the Army of Chu after the city was destroyed."
Xuanyuan Chen's grip tightened even more as his fingernails dug into his palms, leaving behind streaks of red.
How could he forget that his A Rong never liked seeing things like this. The matter of the Nanping's water calamity had caused his understanding of A Rong to deepen.
"Why are there seventy thousand troops in Army of Chu? Was there an error with the profound mechanism's information? " Xuanyuan Chen asked.
Fifty thousand and seventy thousand, that was an entire twenty thousand more people!
This was precisely what the Azure Dragon was puzzled about, as he did not hide anything at all, "Master, this subordinate does not know, that there were indeed only fifty thousand Army of Chu s before, but after the withdrawal of the Army of Chu's troops that day, they rested for five days. Even though there were only less than thirty thousand soldiers and horses left, they were able to add another fifty thousand soldiers and horses when we attacked the city."
"Young Master Shen brought along his subordinates, White Tiger and the others to kill Army of Chu at the back, but not only did the number of Army of Chu not decrease, it had even increased. The Crown Princess suspected that Crown Prince of Chu had allocated another twenty thousand Army of Chu s to the traitor Ye Jiaze."
"What's the situation in the city now?" Xuanyuan Chen continued to ask.
The Azure Dragon shook his head, "This subordinate does not know. Seeing that the Crown Princess insisted on staying in the Jiang Prefecture, the subordinate hurriedly came to inform the king, hoping that he would make a decision. "The Crown Princess is weak, and she is wounded …"
"What?" Before Azure Dragon could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xuanyuan Chen, "Azure Dragon, why is the Crown Princess injured? Is it serious? "
Damn it.
Xuanyuan Chen frowned. He had clearly instructed her before Xie Qingrong left to definitely take good care of herself and not let herself get hurt in the slightest.
Unexpectedly, she was injured in the end.
The Azure Dragon replied, "This subordinate does not know. I have only smelled blood from the princess' body. I don't know about her injury, nor how she got hurt. However, the Crown Princess's face was pale all the time, so she must be severely injured. "
He told everything he knew to Xuanyuan Chen respectfully, without even a hint of exaggeration in his words.
Xuanyuan Chen then released his hand and clenched it tightly, saying coldly: "Immediately send a message to White Tiger, tell him to take away the crown prince's consort before the Jiang Zhou City breaks down."
The green dragon respectfully accepted the order, but Lin Mu was a little worried: "If the Jiang Zhou City is defeated, what should I do?"
Xuanyuan Chen closed his eyes for a while, and then said: "When the cultivation letter is delivered to General Li's hands, he will understand after reading it."
Lin Mu saw Xuanyuan Chen's sudden appearance of exhaustion and dejection, and his heart ached and was a little worried, but he still had to mention it.
"What about the citizens of Jiang Zhou City? Those soldiers guarding the city? Did they have to become prisoners of war for the Army of Chu? That would be more painful than death. "
These words of Lin Mu somewhat contained the intent to kill, but it was also the truth.
Xuanyuan Chen coldly glanced at Lin Mu, shifted his gaze, and said in a low voice: "The citizens of Jiang Zhou City have already been moved by A Rong in time, and with the protection of Shen Haoxuan and the others, they should be fine."
He returned to his study desk and continued, "As for those soldiers guarding the city, they will probably be able to stay in the city forever."
The distant voice seemed to come from the horizon, very faintly discernible.
After a moment of silence, Xuanyuan Chen finally spoke, "Leave, all of you. Leave me alone for a moment."
Lin Mu still wanted to say something, but was forcibly pulled out of the camp by the green dragon's sleeve.
Outside the camp, the cold wind was rustling. Lin Mu asked in puzzlement: "Azure Dragon, just now, why did you stop me?"
The green dragon looked at Lin Mu's cold face but was actually a little confused, and let out a long sigh. "Master is not in a good mood right now, if you had said a few more words, Master would have punished you."
Lin Mu pursed his lips, feeling somewhat confused.
As if to confirm that what the green dragon said was not false, the sound of soldiers pinging against each other rang out within the tent.
Just now, when Lin Mu had picked up the scroll with much difficulty and placed it on the desk after tidying it up, it was once again mercilessly swept down to the ground by Xuanyuan Chen.
Xuanyuan Chen looked at the mess on the ground and vented out his anger. The anger in his heart somewhat dissipated and he felt a little better.
However, when he recalled that Xie Qingrong was injured and yet had to protect River City for him, the anger in her heart surged once again.
