The besties traveled through the book together, and the prince and general became abandoned husbands

There was silence in the main hall.

The brother and sister looked at each other in silence.

After a while, Jiang Yuanzhou's eyes wandered over Jiang Wumei. Seeing that she looked good, he felt relieved after being worried for many days.

"Why, aren't you happy to see me?

How have you been these days?"

He took a few steps forward and tapped Jiang Wumei's forehead. Jiang Yuanzhou spoke softly as if nothing had happened.

Their demeanor was so normal that it seemed as if they had just met yesterday.

He didn't ask why Jiang Wumei suddenly appeared in Jiangcheng.

He also didn't ask why she didn't discuss with him and faked her death to leave Beijing.

Not to mention how sad her parents were after the news of her tragedy spread.

He just smiled and asked if she was doing well.

His eyes were filled with concern and love for his sister.

Just like when they were children, he indulged and cared for his sister in every way, as if the two siblings had never been separated by life and death.

Jiang Wumei's eyes were moist. She stared at Jiang Yuanzhou's gentle eyes for a while, and suddenly tears welled up in her eyes.

Jiang Yuanzhou sighed, took a few steps forward, took out a handkerchief and wiped away Jiang Wumei's tears.

"I never blamed you.

Just tell me why you suddenly left the capital, and I won't pursue the matter you concealed."

"Brother." Blinking away tears, Jiang Wumei called out softly.

When Jiang Yuanzhou looked up, Jiang Wumei sorted out her thoughts and spoke slowly:

"Do you blame me?"

Jiang Yuanzhou's love for her was so beautiful and sincere that he had no intention of pursuing the matter even though she had done such a terrible thing without telling the Jiang family.

He treated his sister with such care that Jiang Wumei, who had never experienced siblings, felt embarrassed and guilty.

"Brother, I don't want to be trapped inside the palace walls for the rest of my life, like a canary that never sees the light of day.

I want a free and peaceful life. I don’t want to have to be on guard against the plots of the person next to me every night when I go to bed.

I spent a year like this, and it felt like a lifetime. I don’t want to continue living in this muddle-headed way.

I know that if I tell this in the capital, you, brother, will fully support me in escaping.

But if anyone finds out, both you and the Jiang family will be doomed.

I didn't want to implicate you, so I chose to leave the palace alone.

This time, just pretend you've never seen me, and don't tell my parents I'm still alive and make them worry."

Jiang Yuanzhou stared at her with complicated eyes, seeing the guilt in her eyes, he hesitated for a moment, and said:

"The Emperor has come to Jiangcheng."

Jiang Yuanzhou's words made Jiang Wumei's eyes go dark. Before Jiang Wumei could fully digest this news, Jiang Yuanzhou threw out another thunderbolt:

"Besides, the emperor knows you are in Jiangcheng."

"How is that possible? Xiao Tong has arrived in Jiangcheng!"

For the first time in her life, Jiang Wumei was completely confused, and many chaotic thoughts suddenly emerged in her mind.

But most of them were the worst-case scenario, in which Xiao Tong would be enraged and take his anger out on the Jiang family after learning about this, and would want to take her life.

"No, I must let Junjun leave immediately."

Her eyes became firm, and Jiang Wumei quickly made a choice.

Xiao Tong was pursuing her, not Junjun. She could let Junjun leave and then find a way to deal with Xiao Tong.

As long as Xiao Tong didn't draw his sword when they met, she was 30% sure that he would soften his heart.

Hearing her calling the emperor by his name, Jiang Yuanzhou's face flashed with surprise, but when he saw Jiang Wumei walking out in panic, Jiang Yuanzhou grabbed her and said firmly:

"Don't worry, brother will help you."

……

At this moment, they are a thousand miles away from Jiangcheng. Jun Xiaochen and his party will reach the border after passing three more cities.

In the past half month, Jun Xiaochen has been assassinated more and more frequently, and there are only a few people left who they brought from the Tianqi Dynasty.

On this day, they killed a group of pursuers and hid in a forest. Jun Xiaochen rubbed the cold scabbard of the long sword in his hand and listened to Wei Dong's report to the country.

"Master, they heard that the poison in your body has been cured, and they are desperate.

Those in the court who know you will not survive if you return are fiercely counterattacking, hoping you will die within the borders of the Great Saint Dynasty."

Jun Xiaochen looked disdainful, and the long sword in his hand was instantly unsheathed an inch, revealing its sharp edge.

"Just a bunch of brainless idiots trying to survive.

You think you can keep me here by sending a few more idiots? You are truly foolish."

Wei Dong glanced at the few men behind him, then suddenly knelt down and proposed through gritted teeth:

"Master, your body is worth a thousand gold, you must not make the slightest mistake.

How about I disguise myself as you to distract the assassins, and then you can set off back to Tianqi in a few days."

Jun Xiaochen glanced at him, and the sword in his hand extended two inches further:

"In your eyes, I am a coward who relies on my subordinates to die for me in order to survive?"

"I dare not.

I have absolutely no such intention.

I simply feel that my master is extremely important to the entire Tianqi Dynasty and should not be plotted against by these villains to prevent you from returning to the court."

"Humph."

Jun Xiaochen snorted coldly, his amber eyes showing a hint of cruelty under the sword light:

"You are a bunch of scoundrels. Anyone who dares to stop me will be killed.

Why care.

Rest again tonight and speed up the journey early tomorrow morning.

You must reach the border within five days."

"Yes, master."

Weidong received the order and stood up, asking his subordinates to go hunting in the forest and prepare food for dinner.

In the next few days, Jun Xiaochen and his subordinates rushed all the way, and finally arrived at the last city on the border late at night on the fifth day.

Standing at the foot of the city wall, Wei Dong looked at the dark halo in the sky and was very excited:

"Master, if we pass through this city, we can return to Apocalypse."

Jun Xiaochen rode on his steed, looking at the closed city gate and nodded faintly:

"Let's find a place to sleep for the night. Tomorrow, once the city gates open, we'll leave the Great Sage through the city."

"Yes."

Wei Dong responded with full energy. After running around for so long, he finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel. Even though he was used to sleeping in the open, he was very happy.

The group found a dilapidated temple outside the city to stay temporarily, and left as soon as it got light.

Unexpectedly, just after the men and horses rested for an hour, they heard subtle footsteps outside the ruined temple.
