Chapter 218 The war begins

Yue Jue ignored his provocation and carefully looked at this person who seemed a bit familiar to him.

Sui Er——

"Are you the Showa beside Jiang Qi?"

"It's hard for His Royal Highness to still remember the Showa era."

Seeing the broad smile on Zhaohe's face, the blurred picture in Yue Jue's mind gradually became clearer. He remembered that the night Jiang Qi left Gusu, it was Zhaohe who led lurking soldiers from Da Zhou to surround the Qingfeng Inn.

But don’t you think that Liu Chunyuan was also written by Jiang Qi?

So the two years of peace are just his temporary measure?

Seeing Yue Jue's silence, the proud look on Zhaohe's face gradually grew, "His Royal Highness died in the hands of Zhaohe today, which can be regarded as fulfilling the regrets of Zhaohe back then."

Today's Great Zhou is no longer what it used to be. He said that as long as His Majesty gives the order, the soldiers of Great Zhou will point their swords at the Yueshi.

And the effect will be twice the result with half the effort!

No, this is just a preliminary confrontation. Hasn’t Murong Lingyuan, who was held up to the altar, already reduced to a mortal?

His will could no longer support the hearts of the Yuezhi soldiers.

Yue Jue came to support, and even His Royal Highness the Prince of the Yuezhi could not hope to ignite those failed ambitions!

Yuezhi is destined to die in the Great Zhou Dynasty!

"Just because you want my life?"

Yue Jue knew very well that because of Murong Lingyuan's injury, his morale had been dampened, and the Great Zhou Dynasty was coming again with a menacing force, and his troops were even several times greater than theirs. This was a tough battle.

As the commander-in-chief of the army, what he has to do now is to hold Tongguan until reinforcements arrive!

Zhaohe looked lazy, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's strength should not be underestimated. It is true that Zhaohe alone cannot kill him, but behind Zhaohe are the soldiers of the entire Zhou Dynasty."

"Even if one person stabs His Highness with a sword, even if the injury is not fatal, His Highness can bleed to death!"

This is Showa’s confidence.

Yue Jue's eyebrows were cold and dark, looking at the dark soldiers behind Showa who seemed to have no end in sight, she couldn't help but admit that what he said was the truth.

If he delays in waiting for reinforcements to arrive, what Showa said will indeed be his end.

Although Yue Jue knew how powerful it was, he didn't show it on his face, "Do you think that when the prince comes in person, he won't have any backup plans?"

Zhaohe looked at Yue Jue who was holding on, and said disapprovingly: "Your Highness is talking about reinforcements from the imperial capital?"

"Ah... what should I do?"

Showa looked quite regretful.

Yue Jue's heart suddenly sank, "What do you want to say?"

"Showa remembers that His Highness has a second emperor's younger brother. He... helped Showa a lot."

"If it weren't for him, how could Showa defeat Murong Lingshu so easily?"

Zhaohe quietly looked at Yue Jue's face that was almost unbearable, and smiled more and more proudly, "I just promised him a little sweetness, and he cut off your escape with his own hands, Your Highness, what do you think I am?"

Should I prepare a big gift to thank him?"

"Your Highness, what would you like to give me as a gift?"

"How about using your head?"

At the place where the two armies faced each other, Showa's words fell into everyone's ears. The Yuezhi soldiers were in an uproar after hearing the words. They fought on the front line and suffered numerous casualties in just a few days. Was it because the second prince betrayed him?

Zhaohe looked at Yue Jue's dark and livid face, and then glanced at the already restless Yuezhi soldiers. Unprecedented joy filled his chest!

The Yue family has long been rotten to the core, and His Majesty has always restrained his hands and refused to send troops because of that sick man.

When he was worried that he would not have a chance, who knew that the second prince of the Yuezhi, Yue Lin, took the initiative to contact Jiang Qi.

The opportunity just fell into his hands from the sky.

It happened that His Majesty went to Yuezhi alone to marry the dying princess. How could that be done?

How could the queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty be a damn Yuezhi person?

He just wants His Majesty to never marry Yue Huan, and there will never be any possibility of reconciliation between Dazhou and the Yueshi!

Yue Jue's heart sank deeply. No wonder he felt that Da Zhou's chances of winning were too smooth. He had not yet received a reply to the letter he sent back to the imperial capital.

Was it Yue Lin?

That Yue Lin who has been staying in his dormitory all day since Yue Jing's death?

Suddenly——

"Bah! Stop trying to confuse people here!"

Qiu An, standing next to Yue Jue, suppressed the shock in her heart and whispered Showa!

He glanced at Yue Jue's dark face, turned his head and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Soldiers! Don't let the enemy forces derail the morale of the army! Men of the Yue clan are the most brave and fearless. You must trust His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Stay with His Highness the Crown Prince and defend the Yuezhi Mountains and Rivers to the death!"

The soldiers listened to Qiu An's words and looked at Yue Jue's unmoving back in the front, feeling much more at ease!

yes!

Their Crown Prince is unparalleled in bravery, kind to the people, and hands-on in everything he does. He is the best Crown Prince!

"——Stand with His Highness the Crown Prince and defend the Yueshi Mountains and Rivers to the death!"

For a moment, a deafening response sounded behind Yue Jue, resounding over the battlefield and engraved into everyone's heart!

Yue Jue listened to the stronger words, and her cold heart gradually warmed up. Yes, she will defend the Yueshi Mountains and Rivers to the death.

He looked at Showa opposite and said coldly with this morale: "Kill!"

When he finished speaking, he looked at Qiu An: "Qiu An, hurry up and rush to the imperial capital as soon as possible. You must tell your father about the situation here!"

Yue Jue has no other option now. He is now the backbone of Tongguan and cannot leave even half a step away.

My father was still kept in the dark. He didn't know that the situation in Tongguan was urgent, and he didn't know that Yue Lin had committed treason!

Since Yue Lin was able to intercept his letter, he must have ambushed his troops at various inns, or perhaps some of his people were among the people delivering the letter.

The only one he can trust now is Qiu An!

"Your Highness!" Qiu An was shocked as he was about to go into battle to kill the enemy. "Now is the critical moment. How can Qiu An leave His Highness's side?"

"This is an order! Leave quickly, there is no time to delay!"

If something urgent happens and Qiu'an doesn't leave and waits for reinforcements, then Tongguan will be in danger!

Qiu An looked at the solemn look in Yue Jue's eyes and guessed that maybe Zhaohe's words just now were true. If the imperial capital fails to receive the battle report from Tongguan, then His Royal Highness...

Seeing this, Qiu An had no choice but to turn the reins: "Qiu An takes the order!"

Showa's face was livid as he looked at this scene of passionate anger. Unexpectedly, he failed to provoke them, but instead aroused their greater fighting spirit!

"If you want to die, then leave no one behind! Kill them!"

Yue Jue took one last look at Qiu An's leaving figure and charged into battle!

At that time, Jiang Qi was on his way to Yuezhi. When he saw that he only had to cross two cities to reach the imperial capital, he received a letter from Wen Yan.

After reading the contents of the letter clearly, his face turned pale!

The waves of trembling in his heart almost made him unable to hold the thin piece of paper in his hand!

His first reaction was fear. What would he do if Yan Qi knew about it?

The peace he had gained in two years finally gave him the bargaining chip to go to Yuezhi to marry Yan Qi. How dare he do it in Zhaohe?

Jiang Qi's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He glanced far away in the direction of the imperial capital, turned the reins and turned the horse's head towards Tongguan...
