Chapter 332: Prince Rong Arrives; Rebels at the Court
Before we had time to be happy, the deputy general came to report that the enemy was launching a night attack.
Xiao Jian said seriously, "Let's talk about the past later. I'll go check out the situation first."
Fang Ci: "Brother!"
Xiao Jian's eyes were blurred with tears for a moment. He did not look back and said firmly: "I will come back safely."
Xiao Jian rushed to the front of the camp and saw the enemy troops coming like a tide.
He quickly ordered his soldiers to form a battle array to meet the enemy, and he himself led the charge into the enemy camp.
He was a martial arts expert, and he wielded the sword with such precision that the enemy fell wherever he went.
However, the enemy was outnumbered and attacked the defense line wave after wave.
Xiao Jian gradually felt exhausted, but when he thought of his sister Fang Ci waiting for him behind him, infinite strength surged in his heart.
At this moment, he saw some commotion behind the enemy. It turned out that Fang Ci had brought a group of civilians from the city to support them.
Although these civilians were not professional soldiers, they were holding various crude weapons and their shouts shook the earth.
The sudden arrival of reinforcements disrupted the enemy's rhythm, and Xiao Jian took the opportunity to lead his soldiers in launching a fierce counterattack.
After a hard battle, the enemy was finally repelled.
Xiao Jian walked towards Fang Ci covered in blood, and the brother and sister hugged each other tightly.
At this moment, all dangers are gone, and the family affection after reunion is even stronger and more precious.
Although the battle was won, there were too many casualties, and the court was reluctant to send reinforcements.
Xiao Jian stared at the sand table in the main tent, feeling worried.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from outside the tent.
Xiao Jian thought that the enemy was attacking again, and drew his sword vigilantly.
But a man rushed into the tent, exhausted. It was the censor who had always supported Xiao Jian in the court.
The censor brought news that it turned out that the court did not want to send reinforcements, but that treacherous officials were obstructing the flow of military intelligence. Now that the emperor knew the truth, he sent a large number of reinforcements and food supplies.
Xiao Jian was overjoyed and quickly arranged to treat the wounded and reorganize the army.
But Xiao Jian also knew that there must be a bigger conspiracy behind this incident.
The censor said, "General Xiao, there is actually another person you should thank this time."
Xiao Jian: "Oh? Who is it?"
"Prince Rong."
As he spoke, he pointed at Yongqi who was inspecting outside the military tent.
Fang Ci suddenly felt something was wrong and thought: How did he get here?
Xiao Jian looked at Yongqi, his eyes full of confusion.
Yong Qi walked into the tent, bowed, and said, "General Xiao, I have long heard of your great name. I have come this time, firstly, to assist you in stabilizing the situation on the border under the Emperor's orders; and secondly..." Yong Qi glanced at Fang Ci, his eyes softening, "Secondly, to find Miss Fang Ci."
Fang Ci hid behind Xiao Jian and muttered softly, "I have nothing to do with you anymore."
Xiao Jian frowned and asked, "What is the connection between Your Highness and my sister?"
Yongqi sighed softly and told about his encounter with Fang Ci, but later he was helpless because of his status and position.
Xiao Jian snorted coldly: "Even so, my sister doesn't want to be involved in the royal family's disputes anymore."
Yong Qi said firmly, "I know, but right now I only want to protect her. Furthermore, I've discovered a conspiracy behind the attack on the army, and I'm willing to work with the general to thoroughly investigate this matter."
Xiao Jian pondered for a moment and felt that what Yongqi said made sense. If the mastermind behind the scenes could be found out, the border would be truly stable.
Fang Ci was also slightly moved after hearing this. After all, she had also felt Yongqi's deep affection.
So a drama centered around love, power and conspiracy is about to begin.
