In an instant, the sound of swords clashing suddenly robbed all hearing.
In the carriage, Jiang Jinyu didn't have time to think too much, so he took off the cloak behind him and used it as a strap to tightly restrain Jiang Zao in front of him.
No matter what, he will never let the thief hurt his little sister!
"Xiao Yu'er huddled in her brother's arms obediently, the thief is here!"
Jiang Jinyu drew out his sword with one hand.
The sword's edge lay in front of him, and a ray of moonlight shone on it, shining coldly on his eyes.
[Oh~ Brother, with his sharp eyes and sharp jaw, I don’t know which good sister I will take advantage of in the future! 】
Although Jiang Zao was obedient and allowed his eldest brother to hold him, he couldn't help but quietly reveal a pair of big bright eyes in his eldest brother's arms, staring at his eldest brother and refusing to look away.
Such a brave and fearless young man in his prime is the most attractive person.
But before Xiao Tuanzi could take a second look, Jiang Jinyu pressed his head down.
"Don't look up, be careful."
There is chaos outside right now, and heads will fall to the ground if you don't pay attention.
Although Jiang Jinyu temporarily changed his tune because he was going on a trip, it was normal for him to encounter a thief.
But he led two thousand elite soldiers!
If it were an ordinary thief, he would probably have been dealt with before the commotion outside started!
And now, instead of calming down the commotion outside, it is even getting worse.
Obviously the other party has undergone some training.
Last but not least, all of them possess martial arts skills and are not just ordinary people!
Jiang Jinyu's dark eyes were cold, half squatting in the middle of the carriage, waiting for changes.
The elite soldiers outside are led by General Su to counterattack. He is afraid that the little girl in his arms will be injured, otherwise he will go out to kill the enemy early in the morning!
After an unknown amount of time, the commotion gradually moved away from the carriage.
It seems that General Su deliberately took the battlefield away from the carriage so as not to disturb Jiang Jinyu.
"Your Highness." The curtain of the carriage was lifted open in the next moment, and a general appeared with his face covered in blood.
【ah! Be afraid, baby be afraid! 】
Jiang Zao disobediently opened his eyes to look, but in the next moment he covered his big eyes and trembled all over.
"You're really tough. If you have nightmares in the future, don't ask big brother to save you." Jiang Jinyu scolded Xiaotuanzi.
[Wow, wow, people just can’t help but want to see it. 】
Xiao Tuanzi sobbed twice out of thin air and buried his little head in Jiang Jinyu's arms, not daring to poke his head out again.
"Your Highness, we have no time to talk anymore, let's go!" The general's chest was rising and falling. He came up and pulled Jiang Jinyu, as if he wanted to pull him out!
Jiang Jinyu recognized him as the deputy general appointed by General Na Su, and his name seemed to be 'Li Yayue'.
Jiang Jinyu naturally trusts the people General Su trusts.
It's just that Jiang Jinyu originally thought that he was here to report the battle situation, but now it seems that this is not the case, "What, you want to escape?"
Li Yayue nodded heavily, "They had already laid an ambush. I took the opportunity to pull off one person's mask and saw the marks on their faces!"
"They are the same group of thieves who attacked His Highness the Second Prince in Yanshan last time!"
Those were the forbidden troops recovered by the previous dynasty!
"Two thousand elite soldiers, all dead?" Jiang Jinyu frowned and suddenly guessed another ending.
Facing the Forbidden Army, their elite soldiers were not ferocious enough after all.
After all, he had been trained day and night by the former prince, and he was extremely ferocious!
"There are a few people left who are struggling to hold on, but those bastards are not much better, and they don't have many people left!"
"I'm risking my life to find His Highness. Your Highness, come with me quickly!" Li Yayue made a plea while turning back, as if he was worried about a raid by the thieves behind him.
He looked nervous. Jiang Jinyu should have set off immediately and left this place with him!
But for some reason, something always seems not quite right.
"Where is General Su?" Jiang Jinyu narrowed his cold eyes and suddenly asked Su Qingyu about General Su.
"I remember that you were riding in the same carriage with him, but where are the others now? Li Yayue, failing to protect the general in times of crisis is also a death penalty!"
Su Qingyu and him were taught martial arts by the same master.
He can still have the confidence to protect himself in such an encircling battlefield, let alone Su Qingyu.
At any rate, he was also Jiang Huaijing's personal general. He had earned enough military exploits in the frontiers and only stayed in the imperial city when he came back to marry a wife and have children.
It is an unwritten rule in the imperial city to abandon the death penalty for an admiral.
Although there is no explicit provision of this provision in the law, there are examples of Jiang Huaijing punishing such people and prohibiting them from serving in the army again.
"General Su... is dead." Li Yayue's face turned pale for a moment, and a trace of impatience and resentment flashed in his lowered eyes.
"My subordinate is trying his best to protect General Su, but there is only one step left! He has to save a soldier he has never met before. The general said that his youngest child will be one month old this year, and he will die without regrets!"
Jiang Jinyu trembled for a long time and didn't know what to say.
He only focused on listening to Su Qingyu's news and didn't notice the changes in the person in front of him.
It was Jiang Zao in his arms who heard his eldest brother's name being called Li Yayue, and then he remembered something.
【Brother! run! This is the man who killed General Su! He is the former prince! 】
Jiang Zao moved uneasily in Jiang Jinyu's arms, and even wanted to scream.
The commotion outside gradually calmed down.
I'm afraid it's not that both sides suffer, but that they are surrounded!
The night wind was bleak, and Jiang Zao's voice was suddenly the only one left in the surroundings.
Li Yayue didn't care about the noise Xiaotuanzi made, and stared at Jiang Jinyu intently, "Your Highness, if you don't leave, it will be too late! What if that group of thieves turned around and came back after fighting with our elite soldiers!"
He urged, but Jiang Jinyu remained motionless, and even the sword in his hand was lying in front of him, blocking Li Yayue's way, "I have known Su Qingyu for twenty years."
There was no beginning or end to the sentence. Before Li Yayue could react, he was suddenly frightened by the bright light in front of him and fell onto the horse's ass!
Jiang Jinyu just tried it out and then suddenly stopped his offensive.
Now that the only figure blocking the entrance of the carriage was gone, he also noticed the thieves surrounding the carriage.
No less than a hundred people.
Li Yayue came to look for him and wanted to take him away, but he also wanted his life!
No, there was an unexpected surprise - Jiang Zao.
All three royal families of the Jiang Dynasty have fallen into their hands, and the Jiang Dynasty's destruction is just around the corner!
"When did you find out?" Li Yayue stood up, wiped the dirt off his body, and stared at Jiang Jinyu with cold eyes.
"Since you said that Su Qingyu died trying to save people." Jiang Jinyu stared at Li Yayue closely, holding the sword in his hand more tightly.
"With a wife and daughter, he is definitely not so willing to risk his life. He took the risk to save the other party when he knew he would die!"
"Hmph, you surnamed Jiang are as disgusting as ever!" Li Yayue's eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce light, he stood with his hands behind his hands and said in a cold voice, "Give it to me. If you can't capture him alive, take a dead one back, Master. I won’t blame you!”
