Chapter 190 Frontier
General Jing Yan sat in the tent, frowning as he looked at the urgent report that had just been delivered to him.
There was a hint of worry and tension in his eyes. It turned out that Kyoto was besieged by the enemy! The prince and princess were also escorted to the border.
The situation was extremely critical. This urgent report was like a thunderbolt, breaking the originally calm situation.
Now that Kyoto is trapped, the situation has become very serious. The safety of the prince and princess is even more worrying. They may be hunted down during their escape, so the situation is urgent.
Someone must be sent immediately to pick up the Crown Prince and Princess.
General Jingyan knew that he had a great responsibility on his shoulders. He understood that time was running out and any delay could lead to more danger and loss.
The situation in the capital was not good either. He had to act quickly and lead the army to Kyoto for support. However, facing such an urgent situation, he also felt a little pressure.
He slowly stood up and walked out of the tent, staring at the sky in the distance. He prayed silently in his heart: "I hope your majesty can hold on!"
He knew very well that the reason why he could have the status and achievements he had today was entirely due to the appreciation and trust of His Majesty. The relationship between them was not just that of a monarch and his subject, but more like that of close brothers.
Looking back, when Your Majesty was still the Crown Prince, he had already been following you and had the honor of accompanying Your Majesty on the expedition.
At that time, His Majesty did not despise him for his young age and lack of experience, but taught him personally, which benefited him a lot. Now, His Majesty is in trouble, and General Jingyan is naturally very anxious, and he wants to rush to His Majesty's side immediately to help him solve his problems.
However, the reality prevented him from leaving immediately. He could only wait here for the army to gather, while also thinking about countermeasures.
Matters concerning the Crown Prince and the Princess also need to be arranged quickly.
General Jing Yan turned back to the camp and immediately called the generals to discuss strategic deployment. They had to work out the most effective plan, quickly mobilize troops, and prepare for rescue operations.
In the spacious and solemn central military tent, General Jing Yan stood tall in front of a map, nervously discussing with his subordinates how to lift the siege of the capital.
Just as everyone was immersed in a heated discussion, suddenly, a noisy sound came from outside.
"You can't go in! You can't go in, the general is in a meeting!" The guard's voice revealed helplessness and determination.
"Get out of the way!" However, the other voice was sharp and carried a hint of anxiety, as if it couldn't wait to enter the big tent.
Then, a figure rushed into the central army tent like the wind. It was Ling Chen, and his eyes were full of determination and resoluteness.
"General, I really can't stop you." A guard followed Ling Chen in and said, apologizing to the general.
General Jing Yan waved his hand slightly, signaling the guards to withdraw. Then, he turned his gaze to Ling Chen and asked calmly, "I wonder why the governor is in such a hurry?"
Ling Chen took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then said, "General, I just received news that Kyoto has been besieged! Moreover, the Crown Prince and Princess were also forced to flee. Please lend me a guard team so that I can go and support them." His voice was full of worry and uneasiness.
It turned out that two years ago, in order to escape Jiang Jiao's feelings, Ling Chen took the initiative to request to come to the border to take up a post.
After two years of hard work, he has become the governor of Nanzhou.
During this period, he and General Jing Yan were in charge of military affairs and people's livelihood respectively. The two cooperated with each other, had a tacit understanding, and had similar personalities. As a result, they formed some friendships.
However, when Ling Chen heard that the capital was trapped, he could not help but feel a strong sense of worry. He was afraid that Jiang Jiao would meet with an accident in this war.
If she died here accidentally, it would be a real farewell. This thought made him extremely anxious and he could no longer sit idly by.
So, he came to find General Jing Yan without hesitation, hoping to use his power and lend a guard team to pick up Jiang Jiao and ensure her safety.
He knew that only by doing this could he feel a little more at ease.
After careful consideration, General Jing Yan thought that this plan was feasible. After all, he knew Ling Chen's combat capability.
It just so happened that he didn't have any extra manpower to deploy at the moment, so he readily approved Ling Chen's request to go and meet them.
After Ling Chen successfully obtained General Jing Yan's order, he immediately assembled all available troops without delay and set off as quickly as an arrow from a bow to provide support.
At the same time, Jiang Jiao is experiencing a tough, life-and-death battle...
As they were getting closer and closer to Nanzhou, a large number of people in black suddenly appeared in front of them, rushing towards them like a tide. These people were obviously coming for them, with the purpose of assassinating them!
She couldn't help but feel grief and indignation in her heart. What a great uncle! He was so unscrupulous and wanted to kill everyone.
Moreover, he also issued a killing order for the underworld! Under normal circumstances, underworld people would not easily accept orders to assassinate members of the royal family.
After all, once discovered, one would be retaliated by the entire country's army, which was something not everyone could afford.
However, what if the person who placed the order was the emperor who was about to ascend the throne and hold the power of the world? Then the temptation was too great to make people tempted.
Even if that person is a traitor, as long as he wins in the end, everything will be different. History is always written by the victors, and the losers can only be buried in the dust of time.
Wave after wave of enemies came forward like a tide. Although the Qianlong Guards fought bravely, they were outnumbered and gradually fell into defeat. Jiang Jiao tightly guarded her brother Jiang Yang.
The sword in her hand was already stained with blood, and she herself could not remember how many enemies she had killed. The brother and sister cooperated well with each other, but human power would eventually be exhausted, and the long battle had already exhausted them.
At this moment, a torrential rain suddenly fell from the sky, as if the heavens were also crying for this cruel war. Jiang Jiao felt bitter in her heart. Was everything really going to end? She was really unwilling to accept this.
Just when she felt desperate, she could hear the sound of hurried horse hooves in the distance. "Quick! Quick! His Highness is ahead, please protect him!" Shouts came from far away.
Could it be that reinforcements have arrived? Jiang Jiao felt relieved. The bloody battles over the past few days had almost exhausted her last bit of strength. She raised her head with difficulty and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
Through the rain, she seemed to see a familiar figure—it was the Master! Was he here with reinforcements?
Before Jiang Jiao could confirm, she felt a strong sense of dizziness. She felt the world spinning and her body fell down involuntarily. Before she lost consciousness, she felt herself falling into a warm embrace.
"Your Highness, I am late..." She vaguely heard someone whispering in her ear.
