Chapter 269: Torturing the Thirteenth Prince (50)

The guard stopped and asked doubtfully, "Master Jiang, aren't you leaving?"

Jiang Yan shook his head and explained, "You guys should leave quickly. I have to go home. Something happened at home."

The personal guards looked troubled, obviously a little worried about Jiang Yan's decision.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to assign a few guards to follow Jiang Yan, just in case.

"Mr. Jiang, His Highness will definitely be worried if we let you go alone. So please don't refuse and let these guards escort you." The personal guard said sincerely.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan couldn't refuse any longer and could only nod to show his agreement.

Jiang Yan was extremely anxious. He just bandaged his injuries hastily and hurriedly set out on the journey back to Beijing.

Something unexpected happened at home, and Jun Linyuan was seriously injured and his life was hanging by a thread. His heart had long been occupied by anxiety and he could not calm down at all.

The cold wind was like a knife, blowing across his face wantonly, but Jiang Yan was completely unaware.

He had only one thought in his mind, which was to return to the capital as soon as possible.

At this moment, he no longer cared about catching a cold, but just urged the horse desperately to run faster.

Due to these fierce ambushes, Jiang Yan became extremely cautious.

He didn't dare approach the post station again, for fear of being attacked again.

Even when traveling, he chose paths that were rarely traveled and tried to avoid possible dangers.

As for eating, he could only disguise himself simply and buy some food on the street to fill his stomach quickly.

After several days of arduous journey, Jiang Yan finally returned to the capital. However, when he saw the closed city gates from afar, his heart tightened.

He quickly reined in his horse, turned into the woods beside the path, and hid the horse in a secluded place.

Jiang Yan, holding a long sword, carefully found a hiding place in the woods and waited quietly for the night to fall.

Late at night, Jiang Yan took a deep breath, tiptoed out of his hiding place, and observed the movements around him.

After confirming that there was nothing unusual around him, Jiang Yan sneaked into the city quietly.

He sneaked all the way to the vicinity of the general's mansion and observed the situation inside the mansion from a distance.

Just as Jiang Yan was observing intently, suddenly, someone patted him lightly on the back.

This sudden slap made Jiang Yan like a frightened bird. He instantly drew out the long sword at his waist, his eyes sharp, and he was about to chop down with the sword without hesitation.

"it's me!"

With this low shout, Jiang Yan's heart suddenly tightened. Although the person deliberately lowered his voice, he was able to instantly recognize the other person's identity.

It was the legitimate daughter of the Gu family, Gu Qingqian.

Jiang Yan's vigilance did not relax at all because of the other party's identity. He knew very well that in this ever-changing situation, anyone could become an enemy.

Even though the person in front of him had a close relationship with him, he didn't dare to believe it easily.

The sword in his hand retreated slightly, but was not completely retracted. He still held it tightly at his side in case of emergency.

Gu Qingqian obviously understood Jiang Yan's state of mind at the moment. She did not express dissatisfaction with his actions, but said solemnly:

"Your Majesty has suddenly fallen seriously ill, and Prince Gong has seized the opportunity to rebel. Prince Gong is now using the opportunity to make an example of the General's Mansion as his first target. Martial law has been imposed throughout the capital, and even Tingfeng Tower is under strict surveillance. No information can be transmitted out, and no information can be received in."
