Chapter 1559 - 1559 Burning the Bridges
1559 Burning the Bridges
Taicang Mountain had the river and natural peaks as cover. Although there were many teams attacking Xia Wanyuan, they could not find the location of her army for a while.
“Sister.” Xia Wei rode a horse over from afar. After a few days of running around, Xia Wei’s handsome face was filled with fatigue and frost. “We don’t have enough food.”
There were plants covering Taicang Mountain, but it was already late autumn. In addition, the temperature in the mountain was much lower than outside. The animals were hibernating, and it had already begun to snow in some places. Under the cover of the vast snow, there was nothing to fill their stomachs. The food brought by the team barely lasted for a few days, but they had already seen the bottom.
Xia Wanyuan also had many worries in her heart, but at this moment, she was the one who could not panic the most in the military. Xia Wanyuan looked calmly at Xia Wei. “I’ll think of a way. Go and train first.”!!
“Okay.” Xia Wei nodded and took out half a white steamed bun. “Sister, this is the last one. Take it.”
Xia Wanyuan’s gaze froze. After a while, she reached out to take it. “I didn’t expect…”
Xia Wanyuan did not say the rest, but Xia Wei understood what she meant.
They did not expect that they would one day fall to this state and be forced to this state.
Looking at Xia Wanyuan’s thin but determined body, Xia Wei’s eyes burned.
Although it was not etiquette, Xia Wei still walked forward and pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms.
The young man three years ago had already become a future emperor who could shoulder the heavy responsibility of the world through the tempering of the battlefield.
Xia Wanyuan leaned on Xia Wei’s shoulder and sighed softly. “If I can’t protect you this time…”
“Don’t talk nonsense.” Before Xia Wanyuan could finish speaking, Xia Wei stopped her. “We’ll successfully leave this place. Trust me.”
Xia Wanyuan looked up at Xia Wei’s strong outline and a smile flashed across her eyes.
Xia Wanyuan patted Xia Wei’s shoulder. “Our Xia Wei is already indomitable.”
With that, Xia Wanyuan stood up straight. “I’ll discuss military intelligence with General Shen and the rest.”
“Mm.”
Xia Wei stood rooted to the ground and quietly watched Xia Wanyuan walk towards the central tent, his eyes dark.
When he could not see Xia Wanyuan at all, Xia Wei turned to leave. However, he did not walk towards the training ground. Instead, he left in the opposite direction.
In the tent, Xia Wanyuan was discussing something with everyone. Seeing that the sky was starting to darken outside, Xia Wanyuan looked outside in confusion.
According to Xia Wei’s training habits, he should have returned to the tent to discuss something with them. It was strange that Xia Wei had not returned today.
Just as Xia Wanyuan was puzzled, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside, followed by a soldier’s voice. “Princess, His Highness the Crown Prince rushed out with his men!!”
Xia Wanyuan’s heart sank. She strode out. “Tell me clearly. Where did he go??”
The soldier knelt on the ground. “His Highness the Crown Prince rushed to the exit with his troops. He instructed us to leave with you in four hours from the route he gave us. He said that he would lure the enemy away.”
No matter how calm Xia Wanyuan was, when she heard this news, her ears instantly filled with blood and she could no longer hear anything.
At least ten teams from different forces were guarding the exit. There was no chance of Xia Wei surviving.
