I'm in trouble again! My best friend, the princess in the group, please save me!

The smoke of war gradually dissipated, and this devastated land witnessed countless deaths and separations and battles.

This battle caused heavy losses to the Jin Kingdom. The rebels in Youling City had been completely eliminated, and the entire city was in ruins and needed to be rebuilt.

In the imperial court, An Zhaoyan sat high on the dragon throne, looked at the few imperial officials in the court, and closed his eyes in grief.

Afterwards, he ordered the gathering of wise men to discuss state affairs. Several ministers also made suggestions and put forward various suggestions and strategies to restore the prosperity and stability of the Jin Kingdom.

The gate of Hai Mansion had been smashed to pieces by the people in the city, and the inside was in a mess, with broken porcelain pieces and missing tables, chairs and benches everywhere.

At this time, Wu Ye led the East City Army to garrison outside the city, vigilantly observing the surroundings to prevent any further trouble from happening.

Just when everything seemed to be returning to normal, an unexpected news came - King Jingnan An Yuyan is back!

This news was like a thunderclap, shocking everyone.

Wu Ye looked at him warily and said, "Prince Jingnan, His Majesty has ordered that you are not allowed to return to the capital without an imperial decree."

An Yuyan said, "Just inform me. Besides, with you here, what can I do?"

Wu Ye thought about it and agreed, so he sent someone to report it.

At this time in the capital, Emperor An Zhaoyan was discussing with his ministers how to deal with post-war issues.

When An Zhaoyan heard the news that An Yuyan had returned, his expression changed slightly, but he eventually calmed down.

After a moment of silence, he said to Wuye: "Since he is back, let him in."

At noon, An Yuyan entered the palace and saluted the emperor respectfully.

"Why did you come back suddenly? Is there something wrong?" An Zhaoyan asked with a smile, but her eyes were as cold as a knife.

An Yuyan smiled slightly and explained calmly: "Your Majesty, I learned that there was a rebellion in Youling City. I am worried about your safety, so I came to protect you."

An Zhaoyan gave a fake smile and said: "You are really loyal. You must have worked hard to travel thousands of miles. However, now that Youling City has been pacified, you can go back."

An Yuyan remained calm and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, I want to share your worries."

Everyone's expression changed.

This person said the most outrageous words in the most respectful manner.

The atmosphere in the house became strange, as if there was an invisible undercurrent surging.

An Zhaoyan stared at him expressionlessly.

Wu Ye also stood behind him, waiting for him to save the situation at the critical moment.

A fast horse galloped past like lightning and broke directly into the palace.

The soldiers on horseback were anxious, and they galloped at full speed while shouting, "Urgent news from the border! Urgent news from the border!"

His voice echoed in the empty palace, attracting everyone's attention.

The servants in the palace were still cleaning up the mess. When they heard the shout, they were all startled. They stopped what they were doing and looked fearful.

They all knew that this urgent military situation meant that the country was facing a major crisis.

The rain is coming and the wind is all over the building.

An Zhaoyan felt so tired that he could hardly breathe. Seeing the smiling face of Jingnan King An Yuyan, he just waved his hand to send him away.

"Regarding Prince Jingnan's matter, I sympathize with him for having come all the way back to the imperial city. He may rest in this palace for two days before setting off for his fiefdom."

"Your Majesty..." An Yuyan wanted to say something.

"My decision has been made."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." An Yuyan knelt down and kowtowed solemnly. Before leaving, she looked at him with a hint of sarcasm on her lips.

But An Zhaoyan's attention had been drawn away by the soldier who had just delivered the message.

The soldier panted and presented a document, saying: "Your Majesty, urgent news has come from the northern border. The Khitan army is approaching, and the situation is very critical!"

An Zhaoyan's face was solemn. He immediately stood up, took the document and read it carefully.

The above described in detail the size and movements of the Khitan army, and the situation was indeed precarious.

The imperial court, which had just quelled civil unrest, had no time to catch its breath before it was once again threatened by foreign enemies.

The ministers began to discuss the matter. Some advocated sending troops to resist immediately, while others believed that they needed to obtain more intelligence before making a decision.

An Zhaoyan frowned and fell into deep thought.

He knew very well that this rebellion had dealt a heavy blow to the State of Jin, but he also understood that he must act quickly to defend the country. Otherwise, the Khitans would be so brave and strong that they would march south with unstoppable force, and the entire country would be destroyed.

When everyone heard An Zhaoyan's decision, they all showed expressions of surprise and confusion, but when they learned that Wu Ye would personally lead the battle, they were speechless.

After all, Wu Ye is the best master in Jin Kingdom.

An Yuyan was taken to a remote palace by an eunuch. When he asked the eunuch about the thatched hut where he used to live, he was told that it had been burned to ashes.

His face was pale. He pushed the eunuch away and ran towards the thatched hut, but he saw a small peach tree in front of the charred ashes.

Perhaps the peach tree absorbed nutrients from the ashes and sprouted many new branches.

He felt relieved, stroked the peach tree, and murmured, "I said I would come back."

At night, Wu Ye came to Piyun Palace to visit Xiang Wan. After all, he had to lead his troops to the border the next day and would not be back for a long time.

Songyan took him to the west wing in the backyard.

The brother and sister An Huanyan and An Zhaoyan were staring at each other in the front hall.

"She's already asleep."

"I know. I just looked at her and didn't bother her."

"You'll definitely disturb her if you see her."

"…So you don't want me to watch it again?"

"Yes."

"What if I have to see it?" An Zhaoyan was puzzled.

An Huanyan was silent.

Seeing An Zhaoyan sitting down and not intending to leave, she sighed.

"Never mind. I'll see it sooner or later. I promise you, but you must not disturb her..."

"Princess, Prince Jingnan is here too!" Tengxi suddenly ran over to report.

Looking at An Yuyan walking slowly outside, An Zhaoyan gritted his teeth.

"Your Majesty is here too! Pay your respects to Your Majesty!" He saw An Zhaoyan pretend to be surprised for a moment, then casually saluted.

An Zhaoyan's face darkened. "Why are you running around in the middle of the night?"

Seeing the jealousy emanating from him, An Yuyan raised her eyebrows and pretended not to care: "I can't sleep, so I want to reminisce with an old friend..."

"Since you are not used to living in the palace and can't sleep, let's set off tomorrow."

An Yuyan was about to say something when Wuye came back and changed the subject. "I heard that General Wuye will go to the border to repel the Khitans tomorrow."

Wu Ye glanced at An Zhaoyan, nodded again, and did not answer.

"You are well-informed." An Zhaoyan said sarcastically.

"After all, the rebels were causing chaos, and after this battle, all the elite troops in the city were lost. The only one who could go forward to repel the enemy was Wu Ye."

An Yuyan's words made An Zhaoyan like a frightened cat, with all its fur standing up and becoming alert.

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"I said, Wu Ye, you can't go."
