Princess is Glamorous in Modern Day

Chapter 1561 - 1561 Trapped



1561 Trapped

None of the generals dared to tell Xia Wanyuan this news, but Xia Wanyuan only glanced at everyone’s expressions and knew.

She sighed softly. “He went to look for Father and Mother. They should pick him up.”

With that, Xia Wanyuan spat out a mouthful of blood. Everyone hurriedly surrounded her.

Although the team had already retreated to a safe place, to the team, who had already suffered a huge blow, Xia Wanyuan’s illness was adding insult to injury.

Without a leader, the pursuers sent by Jiang Qing chased anxiously. For a moment, the entire team was filled with anxiety.

Looking at Xia Wanyuan, who had not woken up for a long time, everyone discussed and wanted to make a final decision.

“The people sent by Jiang Qing will catch up soon. Take the princess and leave. My old bones won’t live long anyway, so I’ll cover your retreat.” The late crown prince’s grand tutor still wanted to protect Xia Wanyuan until now.

“Grand Tutor, you can’t.” The others objected.

However, at this moment, any more words were useless.

Furthermore, Jiang Qing’s team was not waiting for anyone. Just as they were discussing, Jiang Qing’s team had already rushed over.

According to the information reported by the spy, Jiang Qing’s team had a hundred thousand troops.

Looking at the defeated soldiers in front of them and then at the unconscious Xia Wanyuan on the bed, everyone sighed. The heavens wanted us dead!!

On the other hand, in the team sent by Jiang Qing, a carriage was driving steadily in the middle of the team.

“After winning this battle, the Second Prince can ascend the throne and seize the treasure.” Jiang Qing suddenly mentioned this topic as he played chess with Xia He.

Xia He did not answer. He only smiled and shook his head.

“Second Prince, what do you mean??” Jiang Qing looked up at Xia He in confusion.

“If I said that I never had the intention to seize the throne, would you believe me?” Xia He placed a piece on the chessboard. “What I want is to seek justice for my mother and live the rest of my life leisurely. The royal family and I are just a cage.”

Hearing Xia He’s words, Jiang Qing narrowed his eyes.

The reason why he had kept Xia He until now was because from the traces of Xia He more than twenty years ago, he was indeed a drunkard and had no interest in politics.

While Jiang Qing was still deep in thought, Xia He suddenly took out a tiger talisman from his sleeve and placed it on the chessboard. “This is the tiger talisman of my Ning An Army. As long as Xia Wanyuan dies, I’m willing to give this tiger talisman to you, King Jiangdong.”

Looking at the tiger talisman in front of him, Jiang Qing’s eyes lit up. “Second Prince, are you serious??”

“Of course. I swear on my life.”

“Okay!! The second prince is indeed straightforward!!”

The team advanced very quickly and quickly arrived at the hiding place of Xia Wanyuan’s team. At that moment, Xia Wanyuan was still unconscious. The entire army was in a mess, and no one was in the mood to fight.

Jiang Qing’s team had just arrived when soldiers ran out to surrender.

Following the surrendered soldiers, Jiang Qing’s team entered an uninhabited area. Even when they reached the core area, they saw only broken soldiers.

Jiang Qing could not help but laugh out loud. “You, Xia Wanyuan, will have such a day?! Someone, attack inside!! Capture Xia Wanyuan alive and you will be rewarded with a fief amounting to a hundred miles and ten thousand taels of gold!!!”

A large number of people swarmed in, but everyone searched the entire village but could not find a trace of Xia Wanyuan.

Hearing his subordinate’s report, after the intense joy faded, Jiang Qing finally sensed that something was wrong. He frowned. “Let’s leave first.”

However, it was already too late.

This was a gourd-shaped valley with only a narrow exit. Now, the sound of elite soldiers and horses came from the exit.

Jiang Qing looked over and saw the two people riding over from afar.

That face was the one Jiang Qing was most familiar with.
