Chapter 435: Saving Xie Chenyuan
Chapter 435: Saving Xie Chenyuan
At that moment, Xie Chenyuan also sensed the murderous intent coming from behind him.
But compared to the murderous aura coming from behind, the one coming from the front is even stronger.
call out--
A cold arrow shot towards him, and Xie Chenyuan reacted extremely quickly and dodged sideways.
The sharp arrow suddenly landed on the snow in front of Qin Beihuang.
Before Qin Beihuang could be surprised, a rain of arrows rained down on him.
Everyone raised their swords to block the sharp arrows.
Not far away, a large black team appeared and attacked in an encirclement.
The leader was Xie Yongan.
The moment he saw Xie Chenyuan, Xie Yongan's eyes became excited and he couldn't help but grin.
"I've been searching for you so hard, my dear brother..."
Seeing the person coming, Xie Chenyuan curled the corners of his lips coldly. It’s just right that he came. Let’s see who is stronger between Xie Yongan and Qin Beihuang.
Qin Beihuang frowned.
Xie Chenyuan’s life or death has nothing to do with him, but he must have the ice silkworm on Xie Chenyuan’s body!
It's really troublesome to meet Xie Yongan at this time.
He stepped forward with his sword, protecting Xie Yongan behind him and looking at him warily.
"Shouldn't the Fourth Prince have returned to Da Yan long ago? He's actually gathering so many men in Da Ning. Is he planning to break the alliance and start a war?"
Qin Beihuang's tone was full of threats.
It would be best if Xie Yongan could be forced to retreat. He didn't want to fight with Xie Yongan.
As long as he gets the ice silkworm, it doesn’t matter what Xie Yongan wants to do.
But this cannot be said in front of Xie Chenyuan.
Otherwise, what if Xie Chenyuan gets pushed into a corner and the ice silkworm is destroyed?
Xie Yongan's eyes were cold. "General Qin, there's no grudge between you and me. You and Xie Chenyuan don't have much friendship, do you? Why would you become enemies with me for him?"
"If you step away now, we'll pretend we never met. I'll remember this as a favor."
Neither side was willing to give in, nor did they understand the other's true intentions, and a battle was about to break out.
Xie Chenyuan wanted to take advantage of their fight and slip away, but Qin Beihuang was staring at him intently and immediately rushed over to grab him, "Don't get too far away from me!"
"Be careful of Xie Yongan's sneak attack!"
Xie Chenyuan nodded.
Qin Beihuang's men also surrounded him, ostensibly to protect him, but actually to prevent him from escaping.
Just as Xie Chenyuan continued to look for opportunities.
The opportunity is here.
I heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance, and a large group of people stepped into the snow-capped mountains.
Suddenly it was like an earthquake.
He looked towards the source of the sound, trying to see who was coming.
Jiang Ningwan, who was riding a horse, saw Xie Chenyuan's figure at a glance, and rushed straight to the battlefield with his men at full speed.
Xie Yongan and others were forced back by the galloping horses.
"Xie Chenyuan, get on!" Jiang Ningwan rode his horse to Xie Chenyuan and pulled him onto the horse.
Xie Yongan also saw her and was furious. "Jiang Ningwan, are you crazy?! This is the snowy mountains, and you dare to ride a horse here!"
"What if it causes an avalanche?"
When they entered the snowy mountains, they didn't dare to ride horses.
Jiang Ningwan raised the corners of her lips slightly, the cold wind blowing her hair. She turned gracefully on her horse, "If you caused the avalanche, that would be your problem."
Then he ordered: "Retreat!"
The group rode away, speeding up.
At this time, the snow-capped mountains had begun to shake.
Everyone looked up in panic and ran away.
Jiang Ningwan and others rode their horses for a long distance before they saw the avalanche, which was very noisy.
Xie Chenyuan, who had escaped death, said in a relaxed tone: "You arrived just in time. I hope this avalanche will bury them both!"
The cold wind howled and it hurt my face.
But they did not dare to stop because they were not yet in a safe place.
Everyone rode their horses directly to the northern garrison.
At that time, even if Xie Yongan brought people to chase him, he would not dare to take action.
That's their territory.
A day's journey.
We finally arrived in the city before dark.
After traveling for many days in the cold and frost, Jiang Ning took a hot bath and changed into clean clothes as soon as she arrived late.
In the evening, I invited Xie Chenyuan to have a meal at a restaurant.
Xie Chenyuan stood up and raised his glass to her, "I really want to thank General Jiang for today. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get away."
"I'll do it first as a courtesy!"
Jiang Ningwan raised his glass and drank it all.
Sit down and continue eating.
"Fortunately, I'm not too late. I'm glad you're okay. Your sister was very worried about you."
Hearing this, Xie Chenyuan's expression became nervous. "After I got into trouble, Xie Yongan went to Daning. He exposed Jinghong Pavilion. Is my sister okay?"
This is an intelligence organization, and stealing Daning's intelligence is no small crime.
"She's fine. The Emperor just closed Jinghong Pavilion. She originally wanted to come with me, but she's pregnant, so she can't come."
"I'll spread the good news tomorrow, and she'll feel more at ease."
Hearing this, Xie Chenyuan's heart finally settled down.
"Thank you for taking care of my sister!"
Jiang Ningwan smiled and said, "You're welcome."
"By the way, what have you been doing during this time you disappeared? We've been asking around for a long time but haven't found any trace of you."
"What happened in Dayan? Why are you wanted by your father?"
Speaking of this, Xie Chenyuan sighed: "It's a long story."
"I don't know what kind of evil magic Xie Yongan used to make my father look like a completely different person."
"I suspect he poisoned my father. During this time in hiding, I've been trying to find a solution. I heard that ice silkworms can bring the dead back to life and dispel all evil spells."
"So I've been looking for the extremely cold ice silkworm."
"Hard work pays off, I found it!"
As he spoke, Xie Chenyuan took out two boxes and opened them. There was an ice silkworm in each box.
Jiang Ningwan was a little surprised, "There are actually two!"
Xie Chenyuan nodded, "Yes, I'm very lucky."
Xie Chenyuan handed her a box and said, "Thank you for saving me. This is just for you."
Jiang Ningwan knew that this item was precious, so she pushed the box back.
"The people chasing you now are not only Xie Yongan, but also those who want to find the ice silkworm."
"Your journey back to Beijing will be filled with dangers. No one knows there are two of these ice silkworms. At a critical moment, you can use one to buy safety."
"This thing is useless to me, but it can save your life if you keep it."
Xie Chenyuan was slightly startled and couldn't help but chuckle: "To be honest, that's what I thought."
"But you saved me. I have no way to repay such a great favor..."
Jiang Ningwan interrupted immediately: "Your survival will be your repayment for my kindness. Your sister is pregnant with the Third Prince's child. If you are safe, your sister's child will be born smoothly, and my cousin will have the opportunity to be crowned the heir."
"My cousin is the heir, so shouldn't I also benefit from it?"
Xie Chenyuan knew that this was her excuse, but he didn't want to refuse her kindness, so he accepted the two ice silkworms.
He clasped his fists in gratitude and said, "If I can return to the capital safely, cure my father, and gain a firm foothold in the court, I will never forget General Jiang's kindness today!"
Jiang Ningwan suddenly thought of something and said, "I don't know what kind of evil magic Xie Yongan used to control your father, but he does have something strange."
"There's a red worm that, once it enters the human body, is controlled by the sound of a drum, causing hallucinations and abnormal behavior."
"But there's a solution to this problem, and that's the sound of a cat meowing!"
"I don't know if I can help you, you can try when you go back."
After listening to this, Xie Chenyuan frowned and thought, "Cat? I've never seen a cat in the palace."
"Thank you for letting me know, I'll go back and try it!"
