The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 167

Meanwhile, the adjutant had already led his men to infiltrate the Western Regions, but they encountered a group of Western Region soldiers on the way.

Unexpectedly, this group of Western Region soldiers continued to patrol the area.

The two sides immediately began fighting, and in no time, the adjutant had many wounds and was covered in blood.

The border general was uneasy, but after thinking it over, he still decided to go.

After he led his troops to find his adjutant, he saw the adjutant fighting fiercely with a group of Western Region soldiers.

He frowned, spurred his horse, and raised his sword to stab one of the men.

"Everyone! Charge out with me!" The border general turned his horse around and shouted to his men. After receiving their response, he turned around and rode off!

When the yellow sand blows out of this place, it's enough to leave nothing to see.

The border general did not hesitate at all after receiving the order.

He rode his horse and led his men, and soon infiltrated the cold palace of the Western Regions Kingdom.

Sure enough, we had only just arrived, and when we were less than half a kilometer away, we could already see the palace in the distance.

"Keep quiet, we're going to rescue them right now."

After the general finished speaking, he divided his troops into three groups and then attacked in three directions.

Along the way, many soldiers from the Western Regions were sent to the battlefield, and the rest were easily dealt with.

When they arrived at the Cold Palace, they found Yan Ji covered in blood. She was lying on the ground, her disheveled hair partially obscuring her face.

Just then, they heard the voices of some soldiers from the Western Regions: "They're probably here! Someone must have come to rescue the queen!"

Despite being cautious, the border general never expected that soldiers from the Western Regions would catch up so quickly.

"Take your life!"

The border general and his men hid in the shadows. When the men approached, one of them drew his sword, leaped out of the shadows, took two large strides in the air, stepped directly on the man's back, and then stabbed the leader to death with a single sword stroke!

Other soldiers quickly surrounded them and captured them all; those who tried to resist were almost all killed.

A short while later, the Western Region soldiers were all cleared out by them.

The border general then approached Yan Ji and was about to ask her, "Are you alright?"

After he finished speaking, he saw Yan Ji with her hair pulled back.

Instantly, he felt as if his whole body had become much colder, and he froze, unsure of what to do next.

One hand was still ready to pick her up, but now it didn't know whether to put her down or lift her up.

How could this be! How could the person in front of me be her?

"You, why are you here?"

He muttered to himself.

They were only there to save people, and once they were done, that was the end of it.

But he never expected that the Yan Ji he rushed to rescue was actually his childhood sweetheart!

Memories flooded back, like a soft knife piercing his body.

It may seem like there are no wounds, but in reality, there is indescribable pain.

All the soldiers standing around him had no idea what was going on. They saw their general frozen in place, his face filled with unconcealable sorrow.

"Please stop here for a moment, then we'll continue."
