Chapter 305 Confrontation
Pei Yan screamed in surprise and felt her heart skip a beat. She stumbled over and wanted to protect Jiang Hong, but it was too late.
Jiang Hong looked at her deeply and closed his eyes, but the expected pain did not come.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw the white wolf baring its teeth at him and Pei Yan running and crying with red eyes falling into his arms.
"Your Highness, Your Highness..."
Pei Yan didn't care about her manners and touched his face with trembling hands: "Why are you so stupid? Why do you care about me? Why do you care about me..."
"You... are crying?" Jiang Hong was stunned for a moment, and then he pressed her head in his arms.
At this moment, he did not feel the slightest sense of frustration, but instead felt a satisfaction he had never felt before.
What he had been pursuing for half his life, he finally got at this moment of defeat.
He could hardly tell whether it was sadness or joy.
Yun Shuning leaned in Jiang Yu's arms and whispered, "How is it? Did I do well?"
Jiang Yu glared at her: "You didn't tell me that your way of stalling time is to use yourself as a target."
Yun Shuning blinked her eyes and said innocently, "Really? Didn't I tell you that this was a good way to kill two birds with one stone? I didn't tell you because I was speechless and forgot about it because of someone's intoxicating beauty that night."
Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, lowered his head and leaned close to her ear, as if smiling, and whispered softly: "I'll punish you when we get back."
Yun Shuning blushed instantly.
Jiang Hong raised his lips in a self-deprecating smile, and looked up at Jiang Yu: "I have lost, you can kill me or chop me up, it's up to you."
"It's not me who should punish you, but my father," Jiang Yu looked down at him with a deep gaze, "Brother, do you regret having come to this point?"
Regret?
Jiang Hong closed his eyes and did not answer for a long time.
At this moment, the sound of rapid horse hooves and heavy leather boots hitting the ground broke through the night and shattered the solemn and breathless silence, and appeared before everyone with a murderous aura and mighty military power.
Jiang Chen, who was leading in the front, pulled up the reins and let his horse go, leading a large number of guards, sweeping across the sky and earth like a silver wave.
The horse neighed loudly towards the sky, and Jiang Chen stopped.
He sat high on his horse and glared at everyone. His handsome face half hidden in the darkness seemed to be smiling. Suddenly, he pointed his sword and shouted loudly, "Crown Prince Jiang Hong, you forged weapons privately and intended to rebel. Your crime is unforgivable and you shall be executed on the spot!"
Jiang Yu stood in front of Jiang Hong with an expressionless face, saying, "What the Crown Prince has done is of great importance and should be decided by Father personally. No one can execute him without authorization."
Jiang Chen sneered, a gloomy light flashed in his eyes: "If the prince is executed, will it be what the officials and the people of the world want?"
"I have said that this matter should be left to my father to decide. Without the imperial edict, no one can take the prince away, let alone do anything to him." Jiang Yu pursed his lips, his eyes cold and unyielding.
Jiang Chen laughed suddenly: "My good sixth brother is really loyal and righteous. Facing a man who just wanted to kill you, he can still say such high-sounding words. Fine, fine, since you won't let me, then I won't force you. But if we fight later and I hurt you by mistake, don't blame me for not being a brother!"
His tone became colder and colder, and at the end of his words, he raised his hand, and the guards behind him immediately drew their swords and prepared to attack.
"stop!"
At this critical moment, the sound of an arrow breaking through the air was heard, and it was firmly nailed to the ground only three inches away from Jiang Chen.
In the smoke and dust, strong cavalrymen in black clothes and black armor, with sharp swords, rumbled down like a black tide and instantly surrounded Jiang Chen's troops from both wings.
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked: "Yi Family Army?"
He turned to look at Jiang Yu: "It's you."
Jiang Yu did not say anything. He met Jiang Chen's scrutinizing gaze with an unchanged expression, and raised his hand to take the jade sign that Ye Mu handed over to him.
He and Yun Shuning had already noticed all of Jiang Chen's plans. They had Ye Mu leave secretly in advance and gathered the Yi family troops waiting in various places, waiting for Jiang Chen to make this move.
Jiang Chen sneered, but the shock that had just flashed across his face disappeared. Instead, he returned to his usual carefree and romantic appearance, and said with a smile, "Well, if it weren't for this, it wouldn't be like the usual behavior of my good and kind sixth brother."
"But don't think you can stop me like this," Jiang Chen didn't show any sign of retreat, instead he smiled even more happily, "You don't think I only brought these people with me, do you?"
“Why don’t you look behind you?” Jiang Che crossed his arms, raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Jiang Chen had a cold face, and before he turned around, Gu Wen rode past him on his horse and glanced at him coldly.
He held up the imperial edict and said in a clear voice: "The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that upon hearing that the Crown Prince has returned from Liuzhou, he urgently summons the Crown Prince to the palace. I decree this!"
Jiang Chen's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly.
He looked at Gu Wen and Jiang Yu angrily, and the rage he could no longer control surged from his chest to his throat, making his eyes bloodshot.
"Third brother, you can't just disobey our father's orders, right?" Jiang Che spoke slowly once again, adding fuel to the fire.
"Humph," Jiang Chen snorted and laughed, tightened the reins, and said coldly, "Go back to Beijing."
The sound of horse hooves hitting the ground rang out again, and the silver waves that enveloped the sky and the earth gradually turned into several small silver dots in everyone's sight.
Pei Yan, with tears on her face, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She carefully helped Jiang Hong up, and when she looked up, she saw Gu Wen. She was slightly startled, then put on a decent smile, nodded slightly and said, "Master Gu."
She had completely ignored Gu Wen's existence just now. It was not until Jiang Hong's crisis was resolved that she noticed this person who had always been on her mind.
Gu Wen nodded slightly at her, then turned to look at Yun Shuning.
Under the cold moon, the army was silent.
He looked towards the pretty girl not far away who was smiling amidst the wind and clouds, and at the naughty victory gesture that did not fit in with the solemn atmosphere and momentum at the moment, but that belonged only to her.
Suddenly he stiffened.
