“One hundred thousand catties.”

“This Jiang Han is somewhat useful after all.”

“Master, shall we send Jiang Han back?”

‘Til see for myself.”

Saying this, Xiao Nanye rose from his chair. Jiang Han had already been brought to the camp entrance, and when he saw Xiao Nanye, his eyes were filled with hatred.

But Xiao Nanye ignored him and instead looked outside the camp entrance.

There were only twenty people who arrived, but behind them were three carriages full of food.

Seeing the supplies, Xiao Nanye gave Han Feng a nod.

Catching Xiao Nanye’s signal, Han Feng swiftly cut the ropes binding Jiang Han’s hands.

“Young prince?”

People from the Chujiang royal mansion, seeing this scene, hurriedly approached.

“Han Feng, have the men bring the food here.”

“Yes.”

As Han Feng moved forward with his men, those twenty people suddenly rolled up their sleeves, targeting Xiao Nanye.

“Master, watch out!”

“Your Highness, be careful!”

No one expected this. Jiang Changbai’s eyes were filled with concern.

“Quick, kill them!”

Jiang Changbai immediately shouted. Han Feng and Lin Xingchen rushed to intervene, but only then did Jiang Changbai realize these attackers were secret guards.

Facing more than twenty of these guards was a disadvantage for them.

Most of the crossbow bolts were deflected, but one bolt still struck Xiao Nanye directly in the chest.

Seeing Xiao Nanye hit, the secret guards sent by the Chujiang royal mansion had eyes full of joy.

However, their joy soon turned to shock. Even injured, they were no match for Xiao Nanye.

“Today, none of you will leave alive.”

As he spoke, Xiao Nanye’s sword swept across, and half of the twenty guards fell instantly.

Jiang Han watched, panic in his eyes. Seeing Xiao Nanye step closer, he blurted out, “1 am the young prince of the Chujiang royal mansion, you can’t…”

Before he could finish, Xiao Nanye’s sword slash his throat.

Looking at Jiang Han’s lifeless body, Xiao Nanye coldly said, “Blame your father.”

At that moment, the remaining guards were killed by Han Feng and Jiang Changbai.

“Master?”

Seeing Xiao Nanye collapse, Han Feng rushed to his side.

Xiao Nanye’s face turned pale. Jiang Changbai alarmed, said to Lin Xingchen, “Quickly, fetch the military doctor.”

Shortly after, Xiao Nanye was taken inside the tent, and the military doctor arrived.

Opening Xiao Nanye’s clothes, seeing the bolt in his chest, the doctor’s expression darkened.

Feeling Xiao Nanye’s pulse, the doctor looked even grimmer.

“How is His Highness King Cheng?”

Seeing that the military doctor had not said anything, Jiang Changbai could not help but ask.

“Young general, “The bolt is poisoned, and it’s close to his heart. I… I don’t dare remove it.”

“What nonsense! You’re the military doctor. If you can’t save him, consider your life over.” Jiang Changbai’s eyes blazed with anger.

Han Feng hastily took out a porcelain bottle, a medicine given by Jiang Peihuan when Xiao Nanye had set out.

Opening it, Han Feng quickly placed a pill in Xiao Nanye’s mouth.

After a moment’s hesitation, he gave him another.

“What did you give His Highness?” Jiang Changbai asked urgently.

“It’s the medicine the eldest Miss Jiang gave. She instructed it to be administered in dire circumstances.”

“Military doctor check His Highness pulse once more.”

Hearing Han Feng’s words, the military doctor once again took Xiao Nanye’s pulse. He was surprised.

“Young General, Milords, His Highness heart meridian has been protected.”

“However, this medicine can only protect His Highness’s heart for twelve hours at most. After twelve hours, if the poison in His Highness’s body still cannot be cured, then…”

“Then what?”

“The medicine will be ineffective.”

“What?”

Hearing the military doctor’s words, Jiang Changbai was at a loss for words. If not for the doctor’s position, he would have killed him on the spot.

At that moment, rapid footsteps echoed from outside.

The curtain swiftly lifted.

A soldier entered, kneeling on one knee, eyes wide with panic. “Young General,

King Chujiang and his army are just three kilometers from the camp.”

“That Old Fool!”

Jiang Changbai, gazing at Xiao Nanye lying in bed, instructed Han Feng, “Guard His Highness here. I’ll lead our troops against them.”

Turning to Lin Xingchen, he continued, “General Lin, head to Chujiang City.

Find doctors, several of them. Ensure King Cheng is cured.”

Hearing this, both Han Feng and Lin Xingchen nodded simultaneously.

Quickly, Jiang Changbai donned his armor and marched out with his soldiers.

Jiang Changbai took most of the soldiers in the camp with him. When he climbed up the city wall, he immediately saw King Chujiang mounted on a horse.

Their eyes locked, each filled with animosity.

“Jiang Changbai, the Emperor never truly trusted the Jiang family. Your father served him loyally his whole life, only to have his military power taken away. Do you still want to serve such a treacherous emperor?” King Chujiang, with a broad face, big ears, and a full beard, said mockingly.

Hearing this, Jiang Changbai frowned and replied coldly, “King Chujiang, the Emperor granted you titles and lands, lavishing you with riches. Yet you’re not content and now plot rebellion. Your son Jiang Han is dead. Do you want to lead your entire lineage to their doom?”

“Your youngest son, Jiang Han, is already dead. Do you want your King

Chujiang’s estate to be completely wiped out?”

“You?”

Hearing this, pain and darkness clouded King Chujiang’s eyes. The death of his youngest son, Jiang Han, had deeply pained him. However, he had sacrificed Jiang Han in his quest to kill Xiao Nanye.

Yet, as Xiao Nanye never appeared, a smirk crept onto Chujiang’s face. Looking triumphantly at Jiang Changbai, he said, “Although my youngest son Jiang Han is dead, having King Cheng accompany him in death ensures he did not die in vain.”

“Jiang Changbai, since you’re so stubborn, today 1 will end your life.”

“Attack!”

As he spoke, King Chujiang raised his hand and swung it down heavily.

War drums roared.

Looking at the massive enemy forces below, Jiang Changbai’s face darkened, but he continued directing his soldiers into battle. Initially, they held an advantage, but soon they were forced back. It felt as if the enemy knew their every move.

Witnessing his soldiers falling one by one, Jiang Changbai leaped off the wall, landing perfectly on his horse.

With his sword in hand, he charged straight at King Chujiang, shouting,

“Today, I will claim your head.”

As he charged forward, a hint of admiration appeared in King Chujiang’s eyes. He showed no signs of backing down but instead seemed eager, “1 want to see what the son of Jiang Hong is capable of..”
