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

Jiang Wumei staggered and finally managed to steady herself, when the cave suddenly became dark.

A large group of people rushed into the cave. Jiang Wumei raised her head and saw Zhao Qi among them.

Seeing Jiang Wumei being grabbed with chains around her limbs, Zhao Qi's expression changed and he immediately looked behind him.

A tall figure appeared at the entrance of the cave, and the secret guards all retreated, leaving a long passage.

Xiao Tong walked in slowly with a gloomy face, his eyes fell on Jiang Wumei's wrists and ankles, his eyes were cold and terrifying.

Staring at the blade on Jiang Wumei's neck, Xiao Tong stood in front of the secret guard and said in a cold tone:

"If you are executed now, I will leave you with an intact body."

The men in black recognized Xiao Tong, but they didn't expect that Xiao Tong would find them so quickly.

Obviously, they were very cautious along the way and even set up some tricks to mislead the pursuers!

Looking at the many secret guards brought by Xiao Tong, several men in black swallowed their saliva, gripped their steel knives tightly and looked at the leader.

The leader pinched Jiang Wumei's shoulders hard, and in fear, the force was so great that it almost broke Jiang Wumei's shoulder bones.

Jiang Wumei frowned and looked at Xiao Tong, who had a grim expression on his face. He took a deep breath and endured it secretly.

Xiao Tong looked at Jiang Wumei, and their eyes met. Xiao Tong clenched the big palm in his sleeve into a fist in an instant, making a creaking sound.

The man in black pressed the steel knife in his hand hard towards Jiang Wumei's neck. Under the huge pressure, the man in black failed to control the strength well, and immediately left a line of blood on Jiang Wumei's white and long neck.

"The Emperor has come here in person, so he must be very concerned about the life of the Imperial Concubine.

How about this, Your Majesty, if you spare our lives, we will return the Imperial Concubine to you, how about that?"

In order to survive, the man in black had to negotiate with Xiao Tong.

Xiao Tong glanced at him and sneered:

"Why do you think you can get away with it after injuring my Imperial Consort?

I say it one last time, release my Imperial Concubine!

Otherwise, you will die without a complete body today."

Death is the only option. A cruel look appeared on the face of the man in black.

"Since the Emperor is unwilling to let us go, don't blame us for being ruthless!

With the Imperial Concubine going down to the underworld to pave the way for us, we will die without regrets!"

As he finished speaking, the man in black raised his arm and drew his knife, when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his foot.

He subconsciously raised his foot, and felt a sudden pain in his chest. Jiang Wumei's all-out impact caused him to lose his balance, and he took two steps back.

"Take action!"

As Jiang Wumei leaned forward and gave a soft shout, the archers who had been prepared immediately drew their arrows and shot wildly.

As for Xiao Tong, he had already snatched the long sword from the secret guard and rushed over the moment Jiang Wumei bumped into someone.

The hostage slipped out of their hands, and several men in black were shocked. Without thinking, they reached out to grab Jiang Wumei's shoulder.

The long sword in Xiao Tong's hand, with bloodthirsty eyes, flashed with cold light, leaving several afterimages in the air. Before the hands of several men in black touched Jiang Wumei, they all rose into the air, shedding a rain of blood.

As the severed limb rose into the air, Xiao Tong grabbed Jiang Wumei's slender waist in the rain of arrows, and with a few leaps of his feet, he brought her away from the danger zone.

Xiao Tong brought Jiang Wumei back to the cave entrance, and the secret guards immediately rushed up to protect them behind them.

Xiao Tong held the person in his arms with trembling arms, and his irregular heartbeat was enough to show that he was not as calm as he appeared.

Jiang Wumei leaned on Xiao Tong's chest, listening to his violently beating heartbeat. Her heartstrings relaxed, and endless fatigue and pain surged into her heart, and her eyebrows and eyes were instantly filled with fatigue.

Jiang Wumei's fragile look caught Xiao Tong's eyes, which made his heart shrink. He couldn't help but hug her tighter.

Staring at the chains behind her, Xiao Tong swung his sword backhand. Sparks flashed, and the chains on Jiang Wumei's limbs broke all at once.

Xiao Tong was afraid of hurting her, so he held back when cutting the chain. Looking at the bloody flesh on the inner circle of her wrist, his black eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"Niao Niao, don't worry. I will make everyone who has hurt you pay with their lives!"

With her heart made up, Jiang Wumei was completely engulfed in drowsiness. She leaned in Xiao Tong's arms, listening to his familiar voice, her thoughts gradually becoming confused.

"Your Majesty, is An'er okay?"

"Don't worry, An'er is fine."

He lowered his head and touched Jiang Wumei's forehead. Frightened by the scorching heat of her forehead, Xiao Tong's face changed drastically.

"Niao Niao, are you having a fever?"

Xiao Tong no longer had any intention of teasing these thieves. He bent down, held Jiang Wumei horizontally in his arms, and strode out of the cave.

"Zhao Qi, turn them into minced meat and throw it into the mountains to feed the wild dogs!"

A sinister and terrifying voice came from the front. Zhao Qi immediately stood up straight and responded loudly.

Jiang Wumei hung her hands on Xiao Tong's neck, listening to the shrill screams coming from the cave, and silently tightened her arms.

Xiao Tong held her very steadily, and even when walking in the mountains, Jiang Wumei did not feel any bumps.

He lowered his head and touched her forehead again, and found that the person in his arms was getting hotter and hotter. Xiao Tong quickened his pace and gave the order in a deep voice:

"Go get the doctor!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Several secret guards disappeared into the forest first, and Jiang Wumei also let herself fall asleep.

Jiang Wumei didn't know how long she had slept. While she was sleeping, she felt hot sweat, someone changed her clothes, and bitter medicine sliding down her throat.

She closed her eyes and felt drowsy. When she woke up again, she looked at the hibiscus brocade curtain above her head and felt so dizzy that she didn't know what day it was.

After staring at the bed curtains for a few seconds and making out that there were six hibiscus flowers embroidered on them, Jiang Wumei's aching head finally cleared up a little.

After trying to move her fingers, Jiang Wumei realized that she was being held in someone's arms. She turned her head and saw Xiao Tong's face with dark eyes.

It seems that he has not had a good time these days.

Sighing secretly, Jiang Wumei raised her hand and gently traced the man's dark eyebrows with her fingertips, feeling very complicated.

Ever since they met, she could clearly feel that Xiao Tong valued her.

Unfortunately, she couldn't tell whether Xiao Tong's feelings for her came from being a child or from cherishing her.

Now, it is impossible for her to escape from him, and she cannot stay with him in the palace for the rest of her life.

Previously, for the sake of Junjun and An'er, she had no choice but to agree to return to the palace.

We can only take it one step at a time and see what happens next.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Jiang Wumei's eyes. Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, her palm was suddenly grabbed tightly by someone.

"wave."

The man's eyes were burning. He grabbed Jiang Wumei's big hand and gently pulled her to his chest.

"I'm sorry, Niao Niao. This time, it was my inconsiderateness that put you in such danger."

Leaning over and rubbing Jiang Wumei's slightly hot cheek, Xiao Tong apologized with great fear.

The emperor's regret was felt only by Jiang Wumei, who knew all souls.

Jiang Wumei was silent for a moment and shook her head gently:

"This group of people must have been monitoring us since Cloud City. This disaster was already destined and has nothing to do with Your Majesty.

You...don't need to blame yourself.

Moreover, this time we escaped danger without any danger, and the Emperor was able to follow the clues and find out the mastermind behind the incident. This is a blessing for both An'er and me."
