“The target of this marriage is the Third Prince of the Southern Wilderness.” This was no secret. They had long heard about it.

Mei Ji continued, “That Third Prince isn’t a good person. I heard that he has a strange hobby and likes to torture people in his room. His first two consorts were tortured to death by him! Wouldn’t Huahua have a tragic ending if she married him?

The Southern Wilderness valued the legitimate lineage and could not be established.

Although this Third Prince did not have a good reputation, he would be the next King of the Southern Wilderness since he was the only legitimate son of the Queen.

Through the marriage alliance, King of the Southern Wilderness was not only finding a powerful backer to balance the eight tribes and the royal family; this was also a step towards vying for the Central Plains.

The two countries would fight one day, and Princess Hui An would be reduced to a complete sacrifice.

Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “The Third Prince of the Southern Wilderness is not a good match. Even if he is, she can’t marry him. The Southern Wilderness is a fire pit. If you jump in, you won’t be able to come out. Looks like we have to hurry up with our plan.”

“What plan?” Mei Ji asked.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “The plan to deal with the King and the Saintess of the

Southern Wilderness is to dismantle their ambition to support the previous dynasty and unify the world.”

This was the only way to save Princess Hui An, Wei Xu, the Su family army, and everyone.

Su Xiaoxiao went to discuss a plan with Wei Ting.

Mei Ji stayed to pack up Princess Hui An’s things and see if she could send them to the palace later.

Su Xuan sat quietly under the tree. No one knew what he was thinking.

Wei Xu came to look for his son again today.

He was carrying a large box of osmanthus cakes that had just been cooked.

He came to the courtyard and saw that his son seemed to have something on his mind. He wandered around and went to the house to look for someone else. When he pushed Princess Hui An’s door open, he saw Mei Ji packing her things.

He tilted his head, looking confused, as if he was asking about his daughter-in-law.

He recognized Su Xuan as Wei Qing and Princess Hui An as Li Wan.

Mei Ji didn’t understand everything, but she understood that he was looking for Princess Hui An.

Mei Ji said sadly, “You can’t see her anymore. She was captured by bad people and brought to the palace.”

Wei Xu looked at the empty bed and then at his silent son in the courtyard. He seemed to understand something.

His expression darkened. He put down the osmanthus cakes and jumped onto the roof.

The minister of Honglu Temple gave his carriage to Princess Hui An and rode alongside the carriage.

His body was still considered strong, but he could not take the bumps along the way.

The guards were also exhausted.

Therefore, the team did not advance quickly.

After walking for a full hour, they finally arrived at the palace of the Southern Wilderness.

Just as he was negotiating with the guard of the Southern Wilderness, a tall and mighty figure quietly approached the carriage.

He quietly lifted the curtain and carried Princess Hui An, who had fallen asleep after crying, on his shoulder before running away!

When the minister of the Honglu Temple finished negotiating and came over to invite Princess Hui An out of the carriage, there was no movement in the carriage.

“Your Highness, please get out of the carriage.”

There was still no reaction.

“Your Highness, forgive me for overstepping my boundaries.”

The minister of Honglu Temple boldly lifted the curtain to see if something had happened to Her Highness, but where was Princess Hui An in the carriage?

“Guards! The princess is missing!”

The Honglu Temple minister shouted.

The guards of the Great Zhou were instantly vigilant.

They had indeed slacked off on a long journey. Perhaps only Wei Xu could avoid everyone’s gaze in broad daylight.

Wei Xu ran with his long legs!

As there was no cover on the road, the minister of the Honglu Temple discovered him. “Over there!”

The guards hurriedly spurred their horses to chase after him.

The imperial guards of the Southern Wilderness also mobilized a wave of experts and surrounded Wei Xu.

Along the way, there were no houses or big trees. It was really not conducive to the use of qinggong. Instead, it created a huge advantage for the cavalry.

They caught up to Wei Xu and surrounded him.

The leader of the Great Zhou guards said, “Let go of the princess! Otherwise, I’ll let you die without a complete corpse!” Tsk!

Wei Xu kicked him off the horse.

Wei Xu was about to snatch the horse when a wave of arrows shot at him.

He carried Princess Hui An and dodged by leaping on his toes.

The horse was not so lucky and fell to the arrows of the Southern Wilderness Imperial Forest Army.

The minister’s expression changed drastically. “Don’t hurt the princess!”

With Wei Xu’s protection, they probably could not hurt Princess Hui An.

However, it was not so easy for Wei Xu to shake them off.

In a one-on-one battle, none of them were Wei Xu’s match.

However, no matter how powerful a person was, it was impossible for him to easily defeat an army.

Wei Xu was entangled.

Xie Jinnian had just gone out of the palace to do some work and was riding a carriage back to the palace when he encountered this battle.

“What happened?” he asked.

The coachman stopped the carriage and took a detour to ask. He returned and reported, ‘Eunuch Jin, the envoy of the Great Zhou has arrived. An assassin from somewhere suddenly kidnapped the princess of the Great Zhou.”

Wuhu flew out.

An arrow almost accidentally injured it.

Wuhu’s fathers exploded. “Ji!”

Xie Jinnian frowned and said, “Ruyi! Come back!”

Wuhu did not return. It shuttled through the rain of arrows.

In order to save this nosy parrot, Xie Jinnian had no choice but to go forward and stop this fierce battle.

“Stop!”

He shouted.

Although he was an eunuch, his aura was extraordinary. As soon as he said this, there was a heavy pressure, causing the imperial guards and the Great Zhou guards to be stunned.

The royal guards recognized the popular person in front of the King of the Southern Wilderness. No one was willing to offend him, so they temporarily stopped.

Seeing that they were not fighting anymore, the guards of the Great Zhou stopped for a moment.

Wei Xu carried Princess Hui An and confronted the two armies.

Xie Jinnian looked at Wei Xu and felt that he had seen this face somewhere before.

He asked suspiciously, “Who instructed you to come?

Wei Xu’s ears twitched as he heard a voice a hundred steps away. “Saintess, there seems to be a fight ahead. I’ll go see what’s going on!” Wei Xu’s eyes darted and said innocently, “Saintess.”

Everyone was shocked.

In this moment of shock, Wei Xu suddenly attacked and sent the imperial guards blocking the way flying.

He carried Princess Hui An and snatched a horse before slipping away!
