"Your Majesty, that seems to be the Empress." Xiao Wu looked at the departing figure and quickly said loudly.
The Empress on horseback, indeed, was valiant and spirited!
"Hmm." Xiao Jinxing had already shifted his gaze.
Fear, losing control.
He lowered his eyes, watching his horse graze on the green grass.
Just feeling it, An Ning’s departure.
The distance growing farther and farther.
After a while.
Xiao Jinxing mounted his white steed once again.
When he lifted his eyes again, there was no emotion in them.
He is forever that high and mighty, brave and majestic Emperor!
Xiao Wu also quickly mounted a horse, following the Emperor back to the army quickly.
"Move out!" Xiao Jinxing gave the order.
All the soldiers quickly stood up from the ground.
The lead guard hurriedly stepped forward, "Your Majesty, the Empress has not returned yet."
"No need to wait..."
"Hyah!" A familiar female voice suddenly ca from afar.
Xiao Jinxing’s eyes narrowed slightly.
He saw An Ning in a green outfit, swiftly riding towards them.
Her hair, her clothes, all fluttering because of the wind.
"The Empress is back!" The lead guard said joyfully.
Xiao Jinxing’s hand on the reins tightened involuntarily.
Watching An Ning stop her horse beside him, she said, "Are we setting out?"
Xiao Jinxing nodded.
"Let’s go." An Ning said, panting slightly, with what seed like beads of sweat on her forehead. She praised, "This horse is pretty good, almost like the Ferrari you gave back then."
Xiao Jinxing didn’t respond much.
She didn’t know why An Ning, after leaving, would suddenly return?!
Isn’t now the last opportunity to leave?
Xiao Jinxing made a gesture.
The army moved out.
An Ning kept riding beside Xiao Jinxing, accompanying him.
Song Yanqing, however, was in the carriage.
He has never been in good health.
At this mont, seeing the Emperor and Empress together...
Why does it feel like.
The Empress is accompanying the Emperor on his last journey.
Though the scene between them is beautiful, it sohow doesn’t feel quite auspicious.
Song Yanqing didn’t think much of it.
He only knew that not beyond tonight.
The war would be imminent!
As expected!
At dusk, as the sun set.
The army was preparing to rest at the posting station.
At that mont.
From afar, the sound of galloping horses approached them, clearly with aggressive intent!
"Protect the Emperor!" A command rang out.
Everyone beca instantly vigilant, surrounding Xiao Jinxing and An Ning in their midst, while a group went forward to investigate.
The sound of hooves seed to be getting closer.
Gradually, the clashing of blades and spears, along with the cries of soldiers fighting, was heard!
Xiao Jinxing’s face darkened.
An Ning, naturally, was also on high alert.
It was unexpected that the Bai Family wouldn’t even bother with pretenses and ca directly for the kill.
After a while.
A blood-soaked soldier returned on horseback.
He shouted, "Protect the Emperor! The Bai Army has rebelled, protect the Emperor... ah!"
Before he could finish.
An arrow pierced through his chest directly.
The soldier fell off his horse, bloody and brutal.
An Ning looked in the direction from which the arrow ca, seeing a familiar figure, armored, just as valiant and formidable as when she was first seen in Yuzhou City.
So, having left Xiao Jinxing, has Bai Mowan finally found herself again?!
Bai Mowan lowered her bow, tens of thousands of troops behind her, her eyes coldly eting Xiao Jinxing’s gaze.
A proud smile was clearly on her lips.
So triumphant.
As if Xiao Jinxing had already beco her possession, at her rcy!
"Retreat!" Xiao Jinxing ordered without hesitation.
"Cover the Emperor’s retreat!" Xiao Wu shouted.
The personal soldiers of the guard, along with a group of people, quickly advanced to confront Bai Mowan’s army.
Xiao Jinxing, with another unit of personal soldiers, swiftly withdrew in the opposite direction.
The war was about to erupt.
Everywhere was the sound of galloping hooves, everywhere was the sound of slaughter, echoing endlessly behind them.
The tens of thousands of elite knights behind Bai Mowan, without much effort, could quickly wipe out the few hundred personal soldiers!
And then, swiftly pursue Xiao Jinxing.
The army behind, brimming with montum.
Xiao Jinxing’s loyal guards rode like the wind, quickly galloping, leaving the pursuing army far behind!
But even so, horses will eventually tire, and human stamina will reach its limit.
If the pursuing army persists relentlessly.
Before half a day has passed, they will be completely surrounded.
And within this half-day.
Will the army led by Gu Xingchuan be able to catch up in ti?!
An Ning gritted her teeth.
"Xiao Jinxing, I’ll take a team to divert them, you take Song Yanqing and follow the original plan to et with Gu Xingchuan!" An Ning said loudly.
Clearly seeing that Song Yanqing was already reaching his limit.
Once an unexpected change occurs, Song Yanqing naturally wouldn’t be able to ride in the carriage.
And physically weak, he’s not adept at horseback riding, if he struggles to hold on like this, he won’t last long, and might collapse at any mont.
The only thing she can do for Xiao Jinxing now is, help divert so of the forces, create more opportunities for life, and possibly reduce more sacrifices!
"At the fork in the road ahead, I’ll go right!" An Ning shouted.
Xiao Jinxing pulled the reins, his eyes bloodshot.
He knew very clearly.
This was An Ning’s departure.
Several tis having the chance to leave but not doing so, was she worried he would stop her, and now, in such an urgent situation, he simply couldn’t afford the distraction to chase her.
He said, "An Ning, you’re going to leave, aren’t you?"
An Ning’s heart trembled slightly.
At this ti, does Xiao Jinxing still have the mood to say such things?!
So many Bai Family soldiers behind wanting to kill him, although he set all kinds of traps, without caution, he could still die miserably.
"The half-year promise was that hard?!" Xiao Jinxing asked her.
An Ning bit her lips tightly.
It wasn’t the half-year promise that was difficult.
Rather.
She didn’t believe he would keep his promise.
Now is her last chance to leave.
Xiao Jinxing was focused on quelling the rebellion, unable to concern himself with her departure.
"Even if I wouldn’t let you go now, would you hate to death?!" Xiao Jinxing asked her word by word.
An Ning gripped the reins tightly.
"So, during these days, your indulgence towards , your acceptance of all my arrangents were just to lower my guard, just to make mistakenly think you would agree to let leave, I even..." An Ning bit her lips tightly.
She really shouldn’t have believed Xiao Jinxing.
He is the Emperor.
How could he be so easily manipulated?
How could he let anyone act recklessly in front of him!
"You go!" Xiao Jinxing suddenly said.
His words took An Ning by surprise.
Her heart inexplicably hurt again.
She pulled the reins tightly, her eyes still looking at Xiao Jinxing in armor, seeing his face cold, seeing his face full of determination!
