Chapter 267 The Jiang family is destroyed!
I heard the shadow guard say that Jin Wunan and Jiang Xiner were missing.
Jiang Jian immediately sensed the scent of merit and hurried forward to say, "Commander-in-Chief, I heard that Jiang Kuanglong and King Zhao had won a marriage contract and formed a marriage alliance."
"If I'm not mistaken, Jin Wunan must have taken Jiang Xiner with him to seek refuge with King Zhao!"
Upon hearing this news, Qingying waved her hand and shouted, "Chase them! No matter what, we can't let Jin Wunan and Jiang Xiner escape from the Divine Capital!"
……
After receiving Jiang Kuanglong's order, Jin Wunan rushed back to the Jiang family as soon as possible.
He first asked his wife and children to pack up their things.
Then he went to Jiang Xiner in person and prepared to take her away.
However, Jiang Xiner was determined not to marry the Prince of Zhao.
He refused to leave with Jin Wunan no matter what.
Seeing that Jin Wunan couldn't persuade Jiang Xiner no matter how hard he tried, he decided to use force and knocked her unconscious on the spot and took her away.
However, the city gates have been blocked.
If they want to leave the capital smoothly, they must find Zhao Kun and go through King Zhao’s secret channel.
……
At this time, Zhao Kun had already found out the whereabouts of Princess Baili.
It was decided to take action tonight to rescue him.
The person in charge of guarding Princess Baili is still Bai Xue.
Before Prince Ying Guang of Zhao started his rebellion, Bai Xue was not too strict in guarding Princess Baili. She even allowed her to go out, but she was not allowed to leave the capital.
But since King Zhao started his rebellion, Princess Baili's freedom of movement has been greatly restricted, and she has basically been under house arrest.
At this time, Princess Baili was also very clear about her current situation.
She couldn't understand why her father would rebel for no reason.
She also inexplicably missed the scholar in white who had saved her and whom she had only met once.
These various emotions intertwined together made her feel very irritable.
Hunger strikes and throwing things have become commonplace.
Knowing that Princess Baili had not eaten or drunk anything for the entire day, Bai Xue was worried that her body would not be able to bear it, so she personally brought delicious food to her.
"Princess, please eat something!"
Bai Li said angrily: "I'm not hungry, I won't eat!"
Bai Xue kindly advised, "Princess, please eat something. How can you survive without eating?"
Bai Li dropped all the bowls and chopsticks that were handed to him to the ground and screamed hysterically.
"I said I don't want to eat, don't you understand?"
Seeing this, Bai Xue was too lazy to care about Bai Li anymore.
After she ordered someone to clean up the broken dishes, she left the room.
Suddenly!
Just then, a cold wind blew.
Princess Baili felt a chill and couldn't help but hug her arms.
At this moment, she felt unprecedented loneliness.
All the grievances she had suffered in the past few days suddenly flooded into her heart, causing her, who had always pretended to be strong, to burst into tears like beads with broken strings.
suddenly!
There was a sound of weapons clashing outside.
Before Bai Li could react, several men in black rushed in like ghosts.
Bai Li was so frightened that he stepped back repeatedly and shouted in shock, "Who are you?"
Zhao Kun stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Princess, the King of Zhao sent us here to rescue you and get you out of here!"
Before he could finish his words, Bai Xue rushed over with a group of shadow guards.
"Who are you?"
"Take the princess away!"
Zhao Kun shouted and rushed towards Bai Xue with his knife.
Bai Xue's cultivation is much weaker than Zhao Kun's.
However, after a few rounds of fighting, she was already at a disadvantage.
Of course, it is not so easy for Zhao Kun to kill her.
What's more, the purpose of Zhao Kun's trip was to save people.
Rather than killing people!
After he saw that his men had taken Princess Baili away, he made a feint with his sword.
After forcing Bai Xue back, they quickly evacuated.
Seeing this, Bai Xue shouted, "Send a signal to the commander-in-chief and tell him that someone has kidnapped Princess Baili!"
"Everyone else follow me and chase!"
……
Zhao Kun brought Princess Baili, and Jin Wunan brought Jiang Xiner.
The two people met at the place they had agreed on before.
Then he continued on his way, leaving the capital quickly through a secret passage.
In order for this mission to proceed smoothly, almost all the death squads from the two families who stayed in the capital came out.
In the end, the entire army was wiped out by the shadow guards.
……
Because the incident happened suddenly, most of the civil and military officials in the entire capital did not know about the earth-shattering changes that took place last night until the next day.
At the morning court session, Empress Ying Yue issued the Emperor's decree.
Duke Jiang, the commander-in-chief of the Longxiang Guard, Jiang Kuanglong, secretly communicated with King Zhao and intended to rebel, and his entire clan was exterminated.
Empress Dowager Jiang Nanfeng was sent to Gratitude Temple to worship Buddha.
Jiang Chonghu and his son Jiang Jian turned to the light in time, especially Jiang Chonghu, who was willing to sacrifice his life to stop Jiang Kuanglong and died for his country.
He was conferred the title of Grand Tutor and his rank was promoted three levels to the first-class Tiger Marquis. His title was inherited by his son Jiang Jian.
Jiang Jian was promoted to the position of Longxiang Guard and commander of the Xiaoguo Camp.
Ying Yunhai's title was also promoted three levels, and he succeeded Jiang Kuanglong as the commander-in-chief of the Longxiong Guard.
In addition, all the other soldiers who made contributions last night were promoted one by one, including some disciples from the Jiang family's side branches.
Even Xiao Yunfei, who had done nothing, was given an additional level of nobility.
As a result, the impact of this incident was quelled by the empress with thundering means before it had time to spread.
……
After pacifying the entire court, Empress Ying Yue was in a good mood.
Afterwards, she went to visit in person, the biggest contributor to getting rid of the Jiang family this time.
That is Li Changsheng.
Li Changsheng never expected that the empress would come to Beiyuan to see him in person, and seemed a little surprised.
He wanted to stand up and salute the empress.
But before he could get up, he started coughing violently again.
Ying Yue waved her hand and said, "Li Changsheng, you are injured. Just lie down first. There is no need to stand up and salute."
Li Changsheng clasped his fists and bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Li Changsheng, I have already followed your advice. What should I do next?"
Li Changsheng thought about it and then uttered a word concisely.
"Wait!"
Ying Yue was startled when she heard this, and asked in surprise, "Wait?"
Li Changsheng nodded and said, "That's right, wait for the decisive battle between King Zhao's army and the general!"
"The two families are now evenly matched. No matter who wins or loses, Your Majesty will be the biggest winner!"
After thinking about it carefully, Ying Yue felt that what Li Changsheng said made sense.
"Okay then, I'll listen to you and wait!"
Just as Ying Yue and Li Changsheng were greeting each other, Qingying's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Thank you, Doctor. Now that you're here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
