Chapter 278 [The Story of a Maid] Can’t Go Back

After Jing Jingyan was stunned, she quickly sent someone to chase her, but after a while, the people who came back told her that Jiang Zuilan was out of the city.

Out of town? Did she really go to the battlefield? How dare she?!

Jing Jingyan somewhat admired Jiang Zuilan's boldness, but she was still worried. She asked her servants to go out of the city to chase him, but no one was willing to go.

In desperation, she had no choice but to go to the prime minister and ask him to find someone to chase him out of the city.

But when the prime minister heard the news, he sneered. That was a battlefield! How could a little maid go there?

The Prime Minister only thought it was funny and snorted coldly, "It's just a maid. If you don't have one, just replace it with another one. If she wants to die, just let her go. Why chase? Who dares to leave the city easily now?"

"But dad! She is not an ordinary maid, I have always regarded her as a sister!" Jing Jingyan said reluctantly.

The Prime Minister had been troubled by the events in the court in the past few days, and now he was a little impatient with her making such a noise. He said casually: "I understand, I will send someone to look for him. You go back to your room quickly."

"Okay, dad, hurry up and send someone to chase Xiao Lan back!" Jing Jingyan said with a flat mouth.

"I know, come down quickly, I still have official documents to deal with." The prime minister rubbed his temples where he had a headache and said perfunctorily.

But he quickly put this matter behind him. She was just a maid, not worthy of his attention. What he was thinking about now was if people from Dong Qi really invaded, where should he take refuge?

At the same time, Prince Chu Qinghui led six thousand imperial troops out of the east gate.

His brother was hanging on the front line, and he wanted to save his brother, who was his brother from the same mother! How could he watch him die on the front line?

But there is no one available in the court. When my father convenes the ministers to discuss it, you will accept it and I will do it. How long will it take?

So he took matters into his own hands and led a group of imperial guards to rescue him.

In the main hall of the palace, when the emperor heard the news, he was furious.

The emperor was annoyed that how could Chu Qinghui put himself in danger at this time? What was even more annoying was that he actually took a third of the imperial city's troops away?!

Even though Chu Qinghui and his 6,000 imperial troops were all elite and lightly armed, there was no way they could arrive as fast as Jiang Zuilan on horseback with so many people.

Jiang Zuilan rode his horse and followed the traces directly into the Grand Canyon at the junction of Western Chu and Eastern Qi.

It is actually very easy to find the route taken by the army, because a large number of armies will always leave some traces when they pass by in a mighty manner. Therefore, when finding the road, you almost don’t need to ask about the road. It is actually easy to find the marching route along the way.

.

Jiang Zuilan rode the fast horse for a day and a night, changing horses twice on the way.

At the same time, on the battlefield.

"Sixth Prince!!!" The deputy general's heartbreaking shout came from next to Chu Weixi.

"Sixth Prince, the entire main force has been wiped out."

"What?" Chu Weixi, who had just recovered from the chaos, was in a daze.

After that, he looked into the distance, but couldn't see anything.

"The main force led by General Zhang has been completely wiped out." The deputy general next to him spoke, his voice deep and trembling.

Chu Weixi understood very well what this meant.

This means that their team is no longer able to stand alone.

A team of only a hundred people, no, it should be said that there are only a few dozen people left. Now, there can only be one end: to become the enemy's soul under the sword.

How can a team of dozens of people be worth the tens of thousands of Eastern Qi's main army?

The deputy general looked in the direction of the distant capital, knowing that he could not go back. His whole body began to tremble. Even the hand holding the sword became weak.
