Princess Is Glamorous In Modern Day - Chapter 1558

Chapter 1558 Defeat

“I’ll go with you.” Xia Wanyuan abandoned all her thoughts and rushed out with Xia Wei.

They had thought that it was an ordinary surprise attack, but no one expected that this time, it was Jiang Qing’s long-planned attack.

Everyone thought that Jiang Qing was still in contact with King Ning An and did not have the energy to deal with the battle with Xia Wanyuan.

However, no one expected that Jiang Qing’s goal had never been King Ning An. What he wanted was to severely injure Xia Wanyuan.

!!
There was already a problem with the provisions, and the morale of the army was unstable. Now that another powerful enemy had attacked, the Xia family’s army retreated step by step.

Xia Wanyuan brought Xia Wei to kill the enemy in front of the array. In the end, seeing that the enemy was increasing in number and their own people were decreasing, Xia Wanyuan finally gave the order. “Retreat.”

Following Xia Wanyuan’s order, the team quickly retreated. Not long after, they were forced into Taicang Mountain.

With the natural danger of Taicang Mountain, the team was temporarily out of danger.

However, Xia Wanyuan and the rest were retreating, and Jiang Qing’s people had been chasing behind. In this battle, Xia Wanyuan had lost at least half of her main force.

Xia Wanyuan and the rest retreated in front while Xia Wei brought his men to cover the rear.

It was only when the night approached that Xia Wei returned from the night with his men. The armor on his body was already broken and he had a bloody aura. Mixed with the coldness of the night, it was terrifying.

“Sister, we were deceived by Jiang Qing and King Ning An.” Seeing Xia Wanyuan, Xia Wei told her everything he had discovered. “So they’ve long formed an alliance.”

Actually, three months ago, Jiang Qing’s letter had been sent to King Ning An’s Estate. However, the news that spread at that time was that King Ning An had rejected the gift from Jiang Qing.

The scene of the two of them joining forces was too real. Even King Ning An and Jiang Qing pretended to fight. Both sides lost a large number of people and troops. Even Xia Wanyuan was deceived by this illusion.

Actually, today, when she was attacked, Xia Wanyuan had understood.

There was only one way for Jiang Qing’s troops to quietly lurk around Xia Wanyuan, and that was to secretly move from the prefecture under King Ning An’s jurisdiction.

Xia Wanyuan frowned. “I was careless.”

“Sister, it’s not your fault.” Xia Wei’s eyes burned with anger. “They’re too cunning. Who would have thought that Jiang Qing would do this? Sister, what should we do next?”

Xia Wanyuan looked at the mountain behind her. “Let’s go into the mountain first.”

At this moment, in the Jiang Dong camp, Jiang Qing was drinking with Xia He.

“Second Prince, let me toast you. It’s all thanks to your plan this time. If not for you, Xia Wanyuan would still be going against me.”

Xia He clinked glasses with Jiang Qing and took a sip of wine. “You’re too humble. Even without me, you’ve been confronting Xia Wanyuan for so long. That Xia Wanyuan isn’t an easy character to deal with. I’m really surprised that you could force her to this extent.”

Jiang Qing smiled. “Same to you.”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled. With the victory report, they finished the bottle of wine on the table.

Although Xia Wanyuan had led the team into Taicang Mountain, without food, such a large team would come out sooner or later.

The next day, Jiang Qing gave his subordinates a death order.

As long as they could capture Xia Wanyuan alive, they would be rewarded with a field amounting to a hundred miles and ten thousand taels of gold.

Instantly, the crowd was excited. The teams heading to Taicang Mountain were like carp crossing the river.
