At the same time, a carriage, guarded by 30,000 Red Armor Battalion cavalry, rolled across the desolate landscape at top speed, hurtling towards Luoyan City.
Inside the carriage, the atmosphere was so solemn that water could almost drip out.
Fu Songnian and several military medical officers had beads of sweat on their foreheads, and their fingers trembled slightly due to nervousness.
They gave all kinds of precious life-extending elixirs and spiritual liquids that warmed the meridians to the princess.
However, these medicines were like a drop in the ocean and had no effect at all.
The only thing to be thankful for was that the princess's faint breath did not continue to weaken.
Fu Songnian's frown relaxed slightly, but then tightened again immediately.
The princess's injuries were too severe. She had forced herself to activate her potential several times, resulting in hidden injuries all over her body, which could not be cured by ordinary medicine.
All they can do now is hold on to their breath.
"Faster! Faster!"
Outside the car, Xu Yuanshou's roar was heard in the wind.
The thirty thousand cavalry pushed their speed to the extreme, their horses' hooves crushing the frost and snow, stirring up clouds of dust, and they did not dare to stop for a moment.
Finally, after several days of traveling day and night, thousands of dragon horses died.
The familiar outline of Luoyan City finally appeared at the end of everyone's sight.
When the carriage entered Luoyan City and arrived at the residence of Prince Zhenbei, a figure covered in heavy black armor was seen standing in the wind and snow like a javelin.
The thick layer of snow on the shoulders of Zhenbei King Jiang Zai was enough to show that he had been waiting here for a long time.
After the car curtain was lifted, Jiang Zai's eyes fell on the lifeless familiar figure, and a chill that was enough to freeze the soul suddenly broke out.
"Wantang——!"
A low roar filled with suppressed pain, like a wounded prehistoric beast.
A terrifying pressure swept across the entire front yard of the palace.
The air wailed as if it could not bear the weight, and the hard frozen soil on the ground cracked inch by inch.
The guards nearby groaned and staggered back, and those with weaker cultivation collapsed directly to the ground.
Xu Yuanshou was the first to bear the brunt of the attack. Under the overwhelming pressure, he felt as if his throat was being strangled and he could hardly breathe.
"Who is it?!"
Every word Jiang Zai said contained a strong murderous intent, his eyes fixed on Xu Yuanshou, "Who hurt Wan Tang like this?!"
Xu Yuanshou raised his head with difficulty and met those eyes that were almost spitting out anger.
He said with a guilty look on his face, "It's...Emperor Tianwu. It's all my fault for being incompetent and arriving a step too late, which is why the princess was injured like this..."
"Zhao Zhen!" Jiang Zai squeezed out these two words from between his teeth.
After he finished speaking, he took a step forward, came to the side of the carriage, carefully extended his hand, and brushed Su Wantang's cheek with his fingertips.
A cold touch made his heart ache.
He saw the dried blood at the corner of his wife's mouth, the large amount of blood on her clothes, and even more so, he felt the life force in her body almost exhausted...
His eyes moved down to Su Wantang's slightly bulging belly.
That was the continuation of his bloodline and where his hope lay, but at this moment there was a frighteningly quiet atmosphere coming from it.
There is no vigorous vitality, no strong blood fluctuations, only dead silence.
"Pass on my military orders!"
Jiang Zai's voice was like a bell, drowning out the howling north wind. "All units of the Northern Territory Demon Suppression Army, immediately, arm yourself with your weapons and prepare for battle!"
"promise--!"
Inside and outside the palace, all the soldiers who heard the military order, regardless of rank, roared in unison, their voices rising to the sky and shattering the leaden clouds.
A fierce and murderous fighting spirit quickly spread throughout the entire northern land.
Xu Yuanshou had been with Jiang Zai for so long, but this was the first time he saw Jiang Zai burst out with such a terrifying fighting spirit.
It seemed as if it was going to burn this cold Luoyan City to ashes.
He had no doubt that if anything happened to the princess and the prince, the King of Zhenbei would lead the entire northern border demon-suppressing army to capture Yujing City and massacre the entire imperial city.
Xu Yuanshou was not afraid of death, nor did he care about the relationship between the ruler and the subject.
His life was saved by the prince and princess. As long as they said a word, he would not frown even if it meant going through fire and water.
However, now is not the time to take action against Emperor Tianwu.
He reminded, "Your Highness, the most urgent task is to try every possible means to save the Princess and His Royal Highness."
Jiang Zai nodded at him, bent down, picked up Su Wantang and walked towards the palace.
Xu Yuanshou turned to his officers and men and said, "Call all the famous doctors within a thousand miles. No matter the cost, we must protect the princess and the prince."
"promise--!"
The soldiers of the Red Armor Camp shouted in unison, quickly dispersed, and galloped in all directions.
Inside the palace, Jiang Zai carefully placed Su Wantang on the bed and quickly transferred his spiritual power to Su Wantang.
Soon, he discovered that the little guy in Wan Tang's belly, very friendly to his spiritual power.
Just like a greedy little cute baby, sucking his spiritual power madly.
With the nourishment of Jiang Zai's spiritual power, Jiang Lin, who had been in a coma for several days, finally woke up.
As he regained consciousness, the Chaos Divine Tree in his sea of consciousness also began to resume operation, accelerating the repair of the injuries on him and his mother.
In less than half a day, his mother, Su Wantang, also woke up from her coma.
Jiang Zai, who was guarding the bed, burst into tears of joy when he saw her open her eyes: "Wantang, you finally woke up. I thought..."
Seeing Jiang Zai, Su Wantang suddenly felt a sense of security in his heart.
The fetus in the womb was finally saved.
She smiled with difficulty: "How can a dignified King Zhenbei be sobbing and crying? How can people see it?"
Jiang Zai quickly coughed, changed the subject, and asked, "Tell me, what exactly happened in Yujing City?"
Su Wantang immediately told everything that happened in Yujing City.
Jiang Zai felt his heart bleed when he heard this. When he learned that it was the fetus who saved Su Wantang time and time again, he couldn't help but slap his thigh.
"Good, good, good, you are worthy of being my Jiang Zai's offspring!"
"By the way, your cultivation..."
Su Wantang tried to use his spiritual power and replied, "It's still there, but its aura has been concealed. I guess it was Lin'er who did it!"
"Husband, since Lin'er can hide his cultivation, why not go with the flow?"
Jiang Zai paused for a moment, "You mean, let that person in Yujing City think that you and Lin'er's cultivation and bloodlines have been abolished, so that he can relax his vigilance and secretly accumulate strength?"
Just as Su Wantang was speaking, the task panel popped up in front of Jiang Lin again.
Mission Name: The whole family is united, and the world changes hands.
Mission: Persuade the King of Zhenbei to join you in a rebellion. (The stronger the King of Zhenbei's resolve, the higher his evaluation.)
[Completion Rewards: Martial Arts, Points (Level of Generosity Depends on Mission Evaluation)]
It's quite interesting. This is the first time that task evaluation is not linked to time.
But then again, this task is not that difficult.
As long as my father finds out about my mother's experience in Yujing City, he will never let that old dog Zhao Zhen go easily, and rebellion is inevitable.
I'm just afraid…
…
…
At the same time, dozens of miles north of Yujing City, a group of people were slowly heading north.
The destination of these people, without exception, is Luoyan City.
Among them were Du Zhigui, the military supervisor of the Northern Border Demon-Suppressing Army sent by Emperor Tianwu, He Jinzhong, the Northern Border Governor, and Zhou Yanchen, the new commander of the Red Armor Camp.
There are Gu Shouchang, the elder of Zifu Xianzong, Wei Jingxing, the elder of Xuanqing Temple, and his talented disciple Chu Xian.
There are also... Jiang family mistress Miao Guilan, Jiang Yuan's wife Liu Yuheng, and Jiang family's three-year-old legitimate son Jiang Tao.
In the carriage, Jiang Tao said reluctantly, "Mom, I heard that the northern border is a barren land. I don't want to go to that kind of ghost place. I want to stay in Yujing City with my father."
Liu Yuheng's face was filled with embarrassment, and she didn't want Jiang Tao to go to the northern border.
Unfortunately, His Majesty's will is clear.
Her mother and Taoer must rush to Luoyan City.
Her husband must stay in Yujing City.
In order to take care of her three-year-old child, she had to separate from her husband and go to the north together.
Seeing Liu Yuheng's grim expression, Miao Guilan embraced Jiang Tao lovingly and said, "Didn't Tao'er say that he wanted to be the King of Zhenbei?"
"We are going to the North this time to let you inherit the throne."
Jiang Tao's face was filled with excitement: "Really?"
Miao Guilan reached out and touched the tip of his nose: "When has grandma ever lied to you? But this matter must be kept secret, and you can't tell anyone!"
Jiang Tao nodded heavily: "Don't worry, grandma, I understand!"
