Quick Transmigration: The Yandere Boss Pretends to Be Well After He's Gone Mad

"Your Highness, something terrible has happened! They...they've set the mountain on fire!"

The sky, which had just begun to lighten, suddenly darkened again, and smoke rose into the sky in the distance, sweeping over Mount Li like a strong wind, as if the world was about to be set ablaze at any moment.

Yuan Huan's expression suddenly changed. He gave a few instructions to the messenger and then loudly summoned the imperial guards.

He had just turned around to go inside the hall to call for someone when he found that Jiang Xiyu had already come out fully clothed.

Yuan Huan stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Xiyu's hand, saying in a deep voice, "They set the mountain on fire. You must leave through the secret passage immediately."

Jiang Xiyu's surprise lasted only a moment before her expression turned cold.

Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager actually dared to use such a method to trap and kill them.

Jiang Xiyu looked at the guards, then at Yuan Huan, and said only, "You will come with me."

Yuan Huan reassured him, "I can't leave yet. If I leave, the morale of the army will be thrown into chaos. You leave first, and after you exit the secret passage, head towards Beiyuan."

Jiang Xiyu opened her lips as if she wanted to say something.

"If anything happens to you, all those years of fighting I've done will have been for nothing." Yuan Huan touched his face, lowered his eyes and assured him, "My life is yours, no one can take it from me, trust me!"

After saying that, he placed the bottle containing Angui Pills into Jiang Xiyu's hand with his usual gentleness.

I will come back to you.

After saying this, he coldly swept his gaze over the crowd and ordered, "Take His Majesty away!"

"Yes!" The guards quickly stepped forward to protect them.

Yuan Huan finally felt relieved and turned to walk towards the direction where the smoke was rising. Even though he heard the shouts behind him, he didn't dare to turn back and just shouted, "Wait for me!"

“Yuan Jiuge…”

*

Where the flames swept, the land was charred black.

The commander of the Imperial Guards stood at the foot of the mountain, exclaiming that the Empress Dowager was still too ruthless.

The idea of ​​burning hundreds of thousands of imperial guards on Mount Li, along with His Majesty, was an act of blatant rebellion, yet no one dared to object.

At this moment, a subordinate reported that the fire had stopped burning halfway through.

The commander-in-chief, unperturbed, drew his sword and shouted, "The people on Mount Li are at their last gasp. Today is your chance to make a name for yourselves! Charge in!"

Mount Li is now like a sack thrown into a fire pit, surrounded by flames, with only one way out: to climb the mountain.

If the Imperial Guards dared to charge down, they would be killed by a hail of arrows; if they held out to the bitter end, they would eventually fall into the hands of the Imperial Guards.

The earth-shaking footsteps slowly approached Mount Li, sweeping heat waves upwards like a whirlwind.

Even though Yuan Huan had ordered a forest to be cut down as a barrier, it couldn't stop the constant stream of heat rising up.

Sweat soaked everyone, making even the armor covering them feel heavy.

Yuan Huan's face was covered by his helmet, and his expression was unclear.

He didn't retreat, but just looked at the crowd of people below the mountain.

When the heatwave reached its peak, Yuan Huan ordered his men to nock their bows and start shooting again.

They had to shoot their last arrow before they could fight back.

The Imperial Guards, shields raised, launched their arrows upwards, some carrying enough force to pierce through anything.

They were puzzled by the morale that the enemy had shown when they were in dire straits, but they did not know that the eagle of Beiyuan could no longer hide his sharpness. With his invincible momentum, he supported the people's hearts and supported the last line of defense of Lishan.

Yuan Huan slowly drew the knife from his waist, his thin lips exhaling hot breath.

He was like a raptor poised to pounce; even trapped in this small world, he would not fall.

He stood in the eye of the storm, before all the swords and spears, uttering only one sentence: "Wait for reinforcements."

These seemingly casual words became the source of everyone's confidence to fight.

The Imperial Guards knew who this person was, and they also knew that behind him was the invincible Northern Plains Army.

In this power struggle in the capital, the emperor gained a fierce eagle. As the representative of the Liang army, if Beiyuan joins the battle, the Empress Dowager will undoubtedly be throwing an egg against a rock.

Now, as long as we hold out until His Majesty leaves, the treacherous officials will be punished, and we will surely win this battle.

Black smoke obscured the sky, and the further you went into the secret passage, the darker it became.

After being helped out of the secret passage, Jiang Xiyu simply pushed away the hands that were helping him, and walked very fast while holding onto the wall. Later, he even ran without regard for his own body.

Only if he leaves quickly can he give those who come after him a chance, and only then can he give Yuan Huan a chance to live.

No one dared to speak; only footsteps echoed in the darkness.

The atmosphere was oppressive. They walked for an unknown amount of time, feeling as if the secret passage had no end.

To ensure its distance from the surrounding area of ​​Mount Li, this secret passage was indeed built to be very long.

When Jiang Xiyu reached the end and was exposed to the light, he was in an unprecedentedly disheveled state.

But before he could catch his breath, he looked down and saw that the pebbles on the ground seemed to be trembling.

The guards seemed to sense something and looked into the distance. Hearing the thunderous sound of horses' hooves, they drew their swords and stood in front of Jiang Xiyu.

"Protect Your Majesty!"

Jiang Xiyu raised his eyes, his gaze sharp and intense.

The cavalry in the distance looked like a black net, surging towards them.

Amidst the swirling dust, Jiang Xiyu heard the clanging of heavy armor against warhorses and the circling of eagles overhead.

The eagle let out a sharp cry, and the Snow-Treading Black Steed shot out of the net like an arrow, leading all the Northern Plains troops as it galloped towards Jiang Xiyu.

Jiang Xiyu's fingertips trembled as he took out the silver whistle hanging around his neck, and he blew it to his lips.

The whistle sounded like a leaf falling into water, barely causing a ripple.

But Garuda heard it, and it spread its wings and swooped down toward Jiang Xiyu.

All the guards had seen Yuan Huan's eagle before, so when they saw it, they were all moved to tears and cried out, "This is the prince's eagle! This is the prince's eagle!"

"Those must be soldiers sent by the Crown Prince! They were sent by the Crown Prince!"

Someone shouted something, and the crowd immediately erupted in cheers.

The Crown Prince's troops are the Northern Plains Army!

Only an army that has experienced the battlefield can possess such an awe-inspiring momentum.

The powerful wind generated by their momentum made the flags of the Kitahara Army flutter loudly.

At that moment, that sound was incredibly inspiring.

Jiang Xiyu raised his hand, and the eunuchs retreated to both sides.

He was exposed to the world, and Garuda stopped beside him as if recognizing its master, its pupils sharp.

The snow-covered black horse galloped towards Jiang Xiyu, finally raising its front hooves and neighing.

Even with her white robes covered in dust, the fluttering fabric couldn't diminish her innate air of nobility.

Le Yuan saw him almost instantly, quickly spurred his horse towards him, and stumbled as he dismounted, shouting, "Your Majesty!"

Jiang Xiyu swayed almost imperceptibly, then immediately gripped the jade bottle in his hand, suppressing the discomfort.

He had never run like that before, and he felt that his body was about to be overwhelmed by his rapidly beating heart.

He was exhausted, but he couldn't afford to collapse yet.

Yuan Huan!

Yuan Huan is still at Mount Li!

If Yuan Huan's entourage doesn't completely leave the secret passage, he will have no way out...
