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

Xu Junjun and Xiao Tong arrived at Guancheng one day apart.

The two groups had been in contact all the time. Upon learning that Xiao Tong had received a threatening letter from Xiao Luoling, Xu Junjun immediately changed direction and rushed to Guancheng with Jun Xiaochen.

During this period, Xu Junjun was worried that Jun Xiaochen's departure would affect Tianqi's political affairs, so she wanted him to return to Tianqi first, and she would go to Guancheng alone to meet Xiao Tong.

But before she could open her mouth, Jun Xiaochen stopped her with a look.

Jun Xiaochen's meaning was very clear. If Xu Junjun did not go back to Tianqi with him, he would always stay with her.

This lesson was unforgettable. Jun Xiaochen never wanted to experience the fear and terror that seeped into his bones again in his life.

As for the government affairs of the Tianqi period, Jun Xiaochen wrote a few letters, stamped them with his private seal, and asked Wei Dong to send them out overnight, and ordered several important officials in the court to temporarily take over the position of regent.

Before marrying Xu Junjun, Jun Xiaochen had been dispersing his power to prepare for a rainy day.

Now that something unexpected has happened, his previous deployment is just in time to come in handy.

The Tianqi court was composed of three important ministers who checked and balanced each other to discuss government affairs. Even if he did not return for half a year, there would be no major chaos.

This decentralization policy was effective and further strengthened Jun Xiaochen's determination to support the young emperor.

Xu Junjun didn’t know what Jun Xiaochen had done in the court. She only understood that until Niao Niao was safe, the man by her side would always be with her until she was rescued safely.

His chest felt full and sore, and Xu Junjun never asked Jun Xiaochen to leave first again.

So many things have happened in the past few days, and Xu Junjun has mixed feelings. Besides anger, fear, and relief, she feels happy.

But Niao Niao's life or death is unknown, and Xu Junjun has no time to sort out all her emotions. She can only speed up her journey and reach Guancheng as quickly as possible.

On the day Xu Junjun and Jun Xiaochen arrived at Guancheng, the sky was filled with yellow sand, smoke and dust were everywhere, and there were few people walking on the deserted streets.

Chen Yu had already sent people to wait at the city gate. As soon as Xu Junjun and Jun Xiaochen appeared, he immediately appeared to lead the way for them.

As soon as the two parties met, Xu Junjun didn't even bother to rest and went straight to Xiao Tong to ask for the letter sent by Xiao Luoling.

Xiao Tong didn't care about Xu Junjun's rudeness and put the letter on the table. Xu Junjun immediately grabbed it and opened it to read.

The more Xu Junjun read, the tighter his brows furrowed. After reading the few concise sentences on the letter, Xu Junjun's face was so dark that he could grind ink to write.

"Xiao Luoling, that bitch, she's obviously after your life!

Saying so much bullshit is just an excuse for your dirty and filthy methods!"

The veins on the back of Xu Junjun's snow-white hands bulged, and she almost tore the letter apart, her big eyes burning with anger.

In the letter, Xiao Luoling asked Xiao Tong to meet her at the location marked in the letter three days later, and she did not allow Xiao Tong to bring more guards. If there were more than ten people, Xiao Luoling would kill Niao Niao directly.

This bitch was so vicious that she openly turned against Xiao Tong, obviously intending to usurp the throne.

Niaoniao is so unlucky that she was transported into the book and was repeatedly implicated by Xiao Tong and these bitches!

Xu Junjun gnashed her teeth in anger, glared at Xiao Tong, and asked directly:

“What are your plans?

After three days, will you go or not?

Xu Junjun stared at Xiao Tong intently, not missing any expression on his face. Xu Junjun had already made up her mind that if Xiao Tong retreated at the critical moment and became a coward, she would go there herself!

She just didn't believe that with Jun Xiaochen's help, she could still let that bitch Xiao Luoling run away!

Even if they die together, she will not let that bitch Xiao Luoling have an easy time!

Xu Junjun was full of hostility. Xiao Tong glanced at her coldly and said in a cold voice:

"Of course I will go."

Not only will he go, this time, he will also chop off the heads of Xiao Yun and Xiao Luoling and make them pay for what they have done.

However, before going to the appointment, he also had to make all preparations to ensure Niao Niao's safety.

Xiao Tong looked at Jun Xiaochen, his dark eyes darkened, and his tone was cold:

"This time, I owe you a favor.

Please help me do one more thing."

Jun Xiaochen: ...

Xu Junjun: ???

The three-day deadline soon arrived. Zhao Qi received the message and took his people and things with him. He ran all the way without sleep and even killed two fast horses. Finally, he arrived at the Guancheng one day before the agreed deadline.

After meeting Xiao Tong and reporting the mission, Zhao Qi returned to his room with an unshaven beard. He lay down on the bed and fell asleep without even eating.

But before he could sleep for two hours, Chen Yu woke him up, prepared his weapons, and escorted the emperor to the three-day appointment set by Xiao Luoling.

The meeting place in the letter was decided by the loyalist Xiao Yun. Xiao Luoling was just a messenger and did not make any changes.

The two parties agreed to meet outside Guancheng City.

Guancheng belongs to the border of Dasheng. There is a Dead Tree Peak outside the city. The terrain of this peak is dangerous and it is connected to the soil of the three border countries. The location is too special and sensitive and few people come here.

The strong wind raged, sweeping up the dust and sand. On the Dead Tree Peak, apart from the gray rocks, there was also yellow sand covering the mountain everywhere.

Standing on the top of the mountain and looking up, the grass is yellow and withered, the trees are dying, and in the sky, a few crows are circling, carrying a strong sense of foreboding.

It was agreed that there would be strong winds and no sunlight on that day, so Xiao Tong took Chen Yu, Zhao Qi, and six secret guards with him to keep the appointment.

A few days ago, Chen Yu had already explored the area within a radius of ten miles around the Kurumu Peak. At this moment, he was riding a horse behind the emperor, but his eyes were looking at the Wangyue Peak adjacent to the Kurumu Peak.

Wangyue Peak is at a higher elevation and has more green grass and trees than Kurumu Peak, making it more suitable for hiding.

Ever since Jiang Wumei was kidnapped by Xiao Luoling, Xiao Tong only slept for one or two hours a day at most.

After enduring for more than half a month, Xiao Tong's eyes were obviously dark blue and black, he had lost a lot of weight, and his facial features became sharper and colder.

Xiao Tong led his men to the top of the mountain. The sand and gravel mixed in the strong wind hit their faces roughly and uncomfortable.

The hem of his robe fluttered in the wind, revealing his slender and powerful legs. Xiao Tong sat on horseback with his men, looking at the two people who had been waiting opposite him for a long time.

"Xiao Yun.

Xiao Luoling.

I am here, where is my Imperial Concubine?"

The two groups faced each other from a distance. Xiao Tong's cold eyes swept across the opposite side, but when he didn't see the person he wanted to see, a circle of blood red appeared in his dark eyes.

At this moment, Xiao Tong's murderous aura was on the verge of getting out of control, and the way he looked at Xiao Yun and Xiao Luoling was no different from looking at dead people.

Xiao Yun, wearing a dark brocade robe, stood in the strong wind, with his black hair flying behind him, like a dignified gentleman.

But the moment he saw Xiao Tong, the madness that flashed across his eyes was terrifying.

Standing at the top of the mountain, Xiao Yun's voice was gentle and soothing, but to others, it reminded them of a slippery and cold poisonous snake.

He spoke like a venomous snake, ready to strike a fatal blow at any moment:

"Don't worry, my royal brother. The Imperial Concubine is not feeling well, and I have someone waiting for her to rest.

The scenery here is magnificent. My Royal Highness, why don't you dismount and admire the vast mountains and rivers below us?"

Xiao Luoling glanced at Xiao Yun warily, then turned his head to look across at the other side. He drew his long sword and pointed it at Xiao Tong through the raging wind and dust.

"Xiao Tong, this princess never expected that you would disregard your own life and death for a woman.

Today, this princess will make sure you never return!"
