Chapter 444
Jiang Mingwei didn’t want to try going through that at all. Although she was the male protagonist’s official wife, it stood to reason that the male protagonist’s woman will not fall into the hands of outsiders. Even so, no one could take risks lightly when there was a possibility of calamity falling upon them. Jiang Mingwei secretly made a lot of preparations, ensuring that when the capital siege crisis came, she would be the first to escape.
She heard that Xie Xuanchen went to court and argued with the Emperor during the morning court. She also heard that the Emperor agreed to Xie Xuanchen’s request, but only gave him 8,000 men. Then, Jiang Mingwei also heard that Mu Mingtang left the palace with Xie Xuanchen.
Jiang Mingwei suddenly felt a sense of sadness. She couldn’t figure out why Xie Xuanchen took Mu Mingtang with him nor could she understand why Mu Mingtang was willing to leave the luxurious capital city and follow the Prince to war. Even if she had a servant to take care of her, it was extremely hard to stay with the army.
Not to mention, Xie Xuanchen was taking 8,000 to the opposite side against a number of 100,000. It was very possible that he was going to die this time.
In the end, Jiang Mingwei could only act like the many noble women in the capital, half sighing and half mockingly commenting, “It is difficult for a hero to be with a beautiful woman. Prince An and Princess An have such a good relationship; truly a couple rivalling that of the Gods.”
The manpower for the trip was greatly reduced this time. Mu Mingtang only took the servants that she was accustomed to and trusted when going out. The other servants who were not selected were so grateful that they burst into tears. Mu Mingtang purified her manpower openly and she did not touch the dowry brought to her by the Jiang family. She only brought the furnishings, soft clothes and her own gold with her.
At this time, she was extremely grateful that she had accumulated a lot of gold. It seemed that she had not only made the best use of the Emperor’s money, but also saved herself a fortune that could save her life in troubled times. Because Mu Mingtang was going to join the army, she used the excuse that her luggages was filled with her dowry. However, she actually filled the box with gold, loaded them into the carriage majestically and left with Xie Xuanchen.
Mu Mingtang was protected at the centre of the army’s march throughout the entire process. Although Xie Xuanchen said that Mu Mingtang would be where he was, Mu Mingtang was still a female and could not go to the front line. At any rate, Xie Xuanchen didn’t actually want her to go to the battlefield. He just wanted to take Mu Mingtang out of the capital and place her by his side.
He knew his uncle too well and he could not trust the Emperor.
So after leaving the capital, Xie Xuanchen dropped off Mu Mingtang at the nearest town while he and his men camped by the river, preparing for the battle.
Qinghe Town was built along the river and relied on the river to make a living. Mu Mingtang’s carriage drove into a local squire’s courtyard. This squire’s courtyard was already one of the most spacious and luxurious in Qinghe Town. Hearing that Prince An’s princess wanted to requisition it, he hurriedly vacated it.
