Chapter 411 Fighting Side by Side

Everything that happened today almost completely overturned Ji Wuwang's previous understanding of Xie Zhiyan.

Brothers turn against each other and protect each other with their lives...

Not just like, but... love.

When Xie Zhiyan's thoughts were revealed by him, there was no extra expression on his cold face.

He didn't answer, but he was very calm.

"King of Zhenbei..." Xie Zhiyan suddenly called Ji Wuwang very solemnly. When he looked at him, his dark eyes were serious without a trace of falsehood.

He said, "I hope that after today, you can harden your heart, forcibly take her back to the North, and take good care of her."

"Now, only the North will be her free world."

"No matter how long your Majesty's hand is, it cannot reach into your northern border."

Ji Wuwang looked at Xie Zhiyan with deep eyes. After a moment of silence, he said, "What about you?"

"As far as I know, you have already left the Yong'an Marquisate, and now you have offended Ji Wuyuan..."

"What are your plans next?"

Xie Zhiyan didn't say anything.

Ji Wuwang raised his eyes and looked at him seriously: "If Master Xie is willing, you are always welcome in the Northern Territory."

Xie Zhiyan's calm eyes flashed with surprise, and he asked him, "Why?"

The northern border has always been heavily guarded and would never allow anyone from the capital to set foot inside, let alone him.

Ji Wuwang smiled slightly and looked towards the distant palace wall. His eyebrows and eyes seemed to be soaked in moonlight. He was an elegant person, and at this moment his eyes were even more open and sincere.

He said: "Because you saved Atang, you are one of the few people in this world who truly treats her well."

"Atang's friends are my friends in the North."

Xie Zhiyan's gaze paused for a moment. At this moment, he seemed to see some of Jiang Wantang's shadow in Ji Wuwang.

No, to be precise, it should be that Jiang Wantang has the shadow of Ji Wuwang.

In just a moment, Xie Zhiyan withdrew his gaze and smiled with a complicated look in his eyes.

No wonder......

No wonder, in Jiang Wantang's heart, Ji Wuwang has always been a different existence.

It would be a lie to say that I don’t care, I’m just more envious and admired.

I envy Ji Wuwang for meeting her so early, when she needed him the most...

At the same time, I admire Ji Wuwang's most selfless and pure love.

Back then, the young man, who was as pure as a blank sheet of paper and as kind as a lonely and helpless girl...

He taught her to read and write, to ride and shoot arrows, and to practice martial arts and self-defense...

Just thinking about it is a beautiful memory.

Away from the mundane world, the years are peaceful.

Yes, how could the crabapple tree that he had personally nurtured not have some of his shadow?

Xie Zhiyan thought so, but the bitterness in his heart was no less.

He thought that with Ji Wuwang's protection and companionship, Jiang Wantang would definitely live the life she wanted and live freely and happily in the future.

After a moment of silence, a smile of indifference and relief appeared on Xie Zhiyan's cold and handsome face.

He said calmly, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."

"It's just that my path is different from yours."

"Even if brothers quarrel within the walls, they still defend themselves against external insults."

"Your Majesty and I have been brothers for many years. Now that we are on swords, it is Xie who has violated morality first. Beyond that, I will never stand against him again."

Ji Wuwang understood what he meant and didn't say anything else.

Some things are destined since they were born.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion inside the palace wall, and flames suddenly broke out, illuminating half the sky red.

I could faintly hear a lot of noise...

Ji Wuwang and Xie Zhiyan looked at each other, their eyes were stern.

"Attack!" With Ji Wuwang's low command, hundreds of secret guards rushed out instantly, rushing towards the palace with fierce murderous intent.

At that time, inside the palace.

Jiang Wantang was gripping the long sword tightly in his hand, facing the countless guards and secret guards in front of him.

The strands of hair on her forehead were soaked with sweat, sticking wetly to her pale cheeks. Her three thousand strands of black hair fluttered in the wind and snow...

After a series of attacks, Jiang Wantang's energy and physical strength were about to be exhausted.

Looking at the palace gate getting farther and farther away from her, her heart sank and her legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

The guards pressed forward step by step, gradually narrowing the encirclement and forcing Jiang Wantang back step by step towards Ji Wuyuan.

Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps came closer and closer.

The guard at the palace gate came hurriedly to report. He bowed and knelt on one knee: "Your Majesty, the Prince of Zhenbei led his men to launch a surprise attack at the palace gate!"

Jiang Wantang's pupils jolted suddenly and he stopped what he was doing.

Her reaction was seen exactly by Ji Wuyuan.

The latter's eyes darkened, and he looked at Jiang Wantang with a wicked smile, his tone cold: "You came just in time."

After saying that, Ji Wuyuan raised his hand and opened his thin lips slightly: "Someone come here!"

"Let them in," he said, his eyes as cold as ice, emphasizing each word, "I want to catch the turtles in the jar and catch them all in one fell swoop."

At his command, the palace gates opened, and suddenly, deafening shouts of killing were heard from outside the palace walls, and flames shot up into the sky...

Jiang Wantang stood where he was, looked up, and saw two figures rushing in first.

One of them was wearing a snow-white robe, and his sleeves fluttered as he leaped into the air. The other was wearing a dark purple robe, holding a long sword, with a fierce murderous aura.

It was the banquet of Ji Wuwang and Xie Zhi.

A huge group of people rushed in...

The imperial guards emerged from all directions, their armor heavy and their swords flashing like a forest, and instantly surrounded everyone.

The palace gate slammed shut again, making a dull thud...

Archers all around raised their bows and aimed their cold arrows at everyone in the field.

A fierce battle is about to begin.

&34;Kill——&34;

Following a low command, shouts of killing shook the earth.

The secret guards formed a battle formation and fought with the imperial guards. Amidst the flash of swords and sabers, people kept falling down, and their blood instantly dyed the bluestone slabs red.

Seeing this, Jiang Wantang no longer cared about anything else. She pointed her toes, moved like a swallow, swung her sword and leaped towards Ji Wuwang and Xie Zhiyan.

At the same time, Ji Wuwang and Xie Zhiyan were also coming towards her.

The three of them reunited, and Ji Wuwang looked Jiang Wantang up and down. Seeing that there were no signs of injury on her body, he felt relieved.

Jiang Wantang looked at them anxiously and said, "Hurry up and leave!"

"Atang, what nonsense are you talking about?" Ji Wuwang looked at her deeply and said in a very tender tone, "How could I abandon you?"

Xie Zhiyan on the side said nothing, and kept waving his sword to resist the aggressive imperial guards.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade them, Jiang Wantang simply joined them.

The three fought side by side, the clang of metal colliding pierced the night sky, sparks flew...

Ji Wuyuan narrowed his dark eyes dangerously as he looked coldly at the scene before him.
