1560 Wiped Out
Thinking of this, Xia Wanyuan’s heart seemed to have been pulled open. The fierce cold wind poured in. For a moment, Xia Wanyuan could not stand still.
The general beside her immediately supported Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan forced herself to be calm and asked the soldier, her voice trembling. “Where is he now??”
“Princess, the crown prince brought his troops and arrived at the entrance of the mountain an hour ago.”
Xia Wanyuan’s hand suddenly tightened. Her nails dug into her palm, bringing with them traces of blood.
!!
The mountain entrance was surrounded by at least tens of thousands of elite soldiers. If Xia Wei went there…
Xia Wanyuan’s mind exploded. “Come with me to save him.”
Hearing Xia Wanyuan’s words, everyone looked at each other and knelt in front of her.
“Princess, it’s not that we’re unwilling to save the crown prince.” The person who spoke was the crown prince’s grand tutor before Xia Wei. Xia Wei’s homework was taught by him alone. To be honest, the old tutor had dedicated his life’s work and energy to the Great Xia Dynasty.
However, at this moment, he knelt on the ground and looked at Xia Wanyuan in pain. “Princess, you should know very well that the Crown Prince is destined to die without returning. We don’t have a crown prince anymore and can’t lose another princess. You’re the hope of the Great Xia Dynasty to recover. Please think twice.”
“Princess, please think twice!” After the Grand Tutor finished speaking, the others knelt down in front of Xia Wanyuan.
Looking at the people who had followed her through life and death, Xia Wanyuan was silent for a while before finally looking up. “Pa.s.s down the order. Leave according to the map Xia Wei left behind.”
“Yes, Princess!!”
The team began to gather. Under Xia Wanyuan’s lead, everyone quickly retreated out of the mountain.
Xia Wei had given her a secret pa.s.sage. She did not know when he had started digging, but it was very close to the mountain pa.s.s. However, because there were hills in the middle, it was very hidden.
All the horses in the team were abandoned in the mountains. The soldiers walked lightly and tried to lower their voices.
As everyone walked out quietly, they could feel the sound that shook the world from the mountain pa.s.s next door. Even the ground under their feet was constantly trembling. Everyone knew very well that it was the sound of artillery falling to the ground.
Accompanied by the tremors of the cannon fire were shrill cries that lingered in the mountains.
Hearing that familiar accent, everyone gritted their teeth and tears flowed down their faces.
They knew very well that their compatriots who had once been in a team were suffering the most terrifying punishment, and their way out had been exchanged by their comrades with their statements and blood.
The generals were worried about Xia Wanyuan and could not help but look forward.
To everyone’s surprise, Xia Wanyuan actually walked forward calmly. Her expression was neither sad nor happy, and she only walked forward firmly.
Seeing that Xia Wanyuan, a woman, was so determined, the others felt a sense of pride.
The seeds of hatred were planted in their hearts. All the blood feuds today would be sacrificed with the enemy’s bones in the future.
After walking for a long time, the team finally saw the light in front of them on the long mountain path. They walked out.
At this moment, the sounds of fighting at the mountain pa.s.s became softer and softer. In the end, it was silent.
Before leaving Taicang Mountain, Xia Wanyuan turned around and fainted.
When Xia Wanyuan woke up after being unconscious for three days, the team had already retreated to a safe place, and bad news arrived.
The team led by Xia Wei was completely wiped out at the entrance of Taicang Mountain.
