Xiao Tong sneered:

“When two countries go to war, it’s not up to the regent alone to decide.

Moreover, if the Regent dies here tonight, there will be no war."

Jun Xiaochen raised his eyes and said indifferently:

"The Great Saint Emperor is trying to make things difficult for me tonight?"

The two men's eyes met in the air, sparking a fierce spark. In an instant, the sword in Jun Xiaochen's hand flashed, breaking through the siege of the Qilin Guards and rapidly approaching Xiao Tong.

His eyes suddenly became stern, but Xiao Tong did not show any fear. He picked up the long sword in the hand of the Qilin Guard on the side and charged forward with a stern face.

……

A few days ago, at Xu Mansion in Jiangcheng.

After hearing Jiang Yuanzhou's words, Jiang Wumei couldn't calm down for a long time.

Even after Xu Junjun coaxed Song Xixi back to the Song Mansion, she had not yet fully digested the information conveyed by Jiang Yuanzhou.

"Brother, do you want me and Junjun to escape again?"

As Xu Junjun stepped into the main hall, she heard Jiang Wumei's incredulous voice.

After hearing the content, Xu Junjun looked at Jiang Yuanzhou in surprise and remained silent.

She was not familiar with her adopted brother Niao Niao, so it was better for her to say less before she knew the situation.

The next moment, Jiang Yuanzhou's gentle voice rang out in his ears:

"That's right. Since you and Miss Xu have no intention of returning to the capital, why not quietly leave this place, change your names, and start a new life freely and unrestrainedly?"

Jiang Wumei is his only sister. As long as she is happy, Jiang Yuanzhou is willing to take a risk to help her.

Jiang Wumei's eyes were hot, she bit her lip, feeling embarrassed:

"But Xiao Tong already knows I'm in Jiangcheng, and he also knows that we're meeting today. If I leave now, he'll vent his anger on you and the Jiang family..."

"wave."

Jiang Yuanzhou suddenly called her by her nickname, just like when they were children, and touched the top of her head, his eyes doting:

"I'm not as weak as you think. Besides, if Mom and Dad knew you were still alive, they would be very happy no matter where you are.

I have never helped you since you got married. This time, let it be the last time I help you.

But there is one thing you have to promise me.

No matter where you go or where you are, you must send a letter to the capital every three months to let me and my parents know you are safe.

Jiang Wumei nodded with tears in her eyes. When the tears fell from her eyes, she smiled and raised her head:

"Don't worry, brother. If Junjun and I can escape this time, we will hide our tracks so that no one will notice."

Hearing this, Xu Junjun followed suit and expressed his opinion:

"Brother Jiang, don't worry, with me by Niao Niao's side, no one can hurt her.

If we can escape successfully now, I will remember Brother Jiang's kindness and give you a big gift in the future!"

Jiang Yuanzhou looked at Xu Junjun, smiled and nodded:

"Miss Xu, you are too polite. It is thanks to Miss Xu that Niao Niao was able to get here safely.

In fact, I should thank Miss Xu for protecting Niao Niao."

Patting his chest, Xu Junjun was filled with pride:

"Brother Jiang, you're welcome. Niao Niao is my best sister. She has always helped me in the capital. Now that we are both away from the capital to make our own way, it is only right that I protect her."

When he said this, Xu Junjun suddenly remembered the scene in the cabin that night and was slightly distracted.

Staring at her lively eyes, Jiang Yuanzhou said without saying much, but smiled and replied:

"In that case, thank you Miss Xu."

At noon, Xu Junjun called someone to serve the meal.

Jiang Yuanzhou stayed at Xu's house, had lunch with the two of them, and then got up to say goodbye.

"Niao Niao, I'll go back to the inn to think of a strategy and come back to find you tomorrow."

After taking a few steps forward, Jiang Yuanzhou suddenly stopped, turned around and instructed:

"If I'm not mistaken, there are people planted by the Emperor in your mansion.

Before you leave, you must be careful about your words and actions and don't let the news leak out."

Xu Junjun was stunned and immediately said:

"Then why don't we just clear everyone out of the house?

Why do we have to keep them in the palace to monitor us every day?"

Niao Niao frowned and shook her head:

"Xiao Tong is arriving in Jiangcheng soon, so his secret guards and Qilin Guards will definitely follow him.

My brother entered the mansion today and was under their watchful eyes.

If we drive them out of the house now, wouldn't that make it clear that we are aware of their existence?"

However, even if he didn't kick her out, given Xiao Tong's character, he must have known that Jiang Yuanzhou would tell her about this.

But if that’s the case, why did Xiao Tong let Jiang Yuanzhou discover her whereabouts?

The most outrageous thing is that Xiao Tong deliberately lured Jiang Yuanzhou to meet her, but did not come forward to convict her. What exactly did he want to do?

The heart of an emperor is like a needle on the seabed.

Even Jiang Wumei, who was very smart, couldn't guess what Xiao Tong was trying to do.

"exactly."

Jiang Yuanzhou looked at his sister with admiration and nodded after a while:

"You two should discuss this matter. I'm leaving first."

After Jiang Yuanzhou left, Xu Junjun and Jiang Wumei looked at each other and saw uneasiness in each other's eyes.

After calming down, Xu Junjun stepped forward, held Jiang Wumei's arm, and spoke first:

"Niao Niao, let's go sell this house tomorrow!"

Jiang Wumei shook her head:

"No, my brother just said that there are people from Xiao Tong in the mansion. If the news of us selling the house gets out, I'm afraid we really won't be able to leave."

Xu Junjun looked at the house she had just acquired, feeling heartbroken:

"I haven't lived in this big house for a few days, and I have to leave again. I really don't want to leave.

Fortunately, we still have tens of thousands of taels left to spend, otherwise, we would have to go out and perform. "

Looking at her crying little face, Jiang Wumei couldn't help but smile. The tension she felt when she learned that Xiao Tong had arrived in Jiangcheng suddenly dissipated a lot.

When the enemy comes, we will fight him with our soldiers; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. Regardless of anything else, as long as the two sisters stay together, there will be no obstacles that cannot be overcome.

That day, after Jiang Yuanzhou left, Xu Junjun took people to the drug store and raided it for the entire afternoon, bringing back many bottles and jars of medicinal herbs.

The Qilin Guards disguised as servants in the mansion knew that she would be refining medicine in a few days, but did not pay much attention to it. They just reported to Zhao Qi about Jiang Yuanzhou's entry into the mansion today.

In Chen Yu's absence, Zhao Qi became the person in charge of the Secret Guards and the Qilin Guards.

After listening to his subordinates' report, Zhao Qi looked at Jiang Yuanzhou's closed door and felt that since his master was not there, he should go and test it out.

But when he thought about the fact that even the emperor had praised Jiang Yuanzhou for his resourcefulness, he suddenly didn't want to use his limited brain.

Forget it, the important thing to do is to follow the emperor's instructions and protect the imperial concubine's safety.

As for how the meeting between the brother and sister goes, it is not his concern.

Thinking of this, Zhao Qi ordered the secret guards and the Qilin guards to guard the Xu Mansion, and began to look forward to the emperor's early return every day.

A few days passed in a flash. Xu Junjun prepared enough medicine powder and waited for the opportunity to sneak away from Jiangcheng with Jiang Wumei.

In the past few days, Song Xixi came to the mansion to play every day, confusing the Qilin Guards in the mansion, but Zhao Qi didn't notice anything wrong.

The incident happened on the sixth day after Xiao Tong left.

When Zhao Qi woke up, he heard the Qilin Guards reporting that the Imperial Concubine had disappeared again.

My feet went weak, and I felt like the sky was falling...
