The two sides of the river were in chaos, and the two sides were in chaos.

Jiang Lan was hunched over, his face was as pale as gold paper.

The moment he received the news, he was completely stunned, as if he was struck by lightning, and he couldn’t believe the news he saw.

Ming Xuan escaped from the Jiangnan battlefield.

Before escaping, he took the initiative to attack the military camps of the two major forces at night, and then left, causing the two major forces to pour all their anger on Ning Fan, who was unaware of it.

For Jiang Lan, this is simply unforgivable.

Stabbing his ally in the back, how is this different from that damn Chu Yanbing?

“Come here!”

“Let Ming Xuan come to see me as quickly as possible!!!”

Jiang Lan roared, his hair standing on end.

The next afternoon, Mingxuan came back. The remaining tens of thousands of troops under his command were still on their way back to Beijing, and he was the only one who rushed back first.

Kaoshan Palace, study.

After Mingxuan entered the door, he knelt on the ground without any hesitation. He lowered his head, as if he didn’t dare to look directly into Jiang Lan’s eyes.

“Why do you do this? Tell me.”

Jiang Lan spoke slowly.

His voice was not loud, and his tone was not heavy, but it was extremely depressing. The temperature in the whole study seemed to drop suddenly, and Mingxuan, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled.

“Prince… I have no way.”

Mingxuan raised his head, his face full of grievances.

No way?

Jiang Lan’s eyes suddenly spit fire, picked up the inkstone on the table and smashed it hard on Mingxuan’s head, smashing a hole in his forehead.

Blood was gushing out, but Mingxuan knelt on the ground and dared not move at all.

“What do you mean there is no way out?”

“You bastard, Ning Fan has already led his men over. The 30,000 elite soldiers under his command are a group of tigers and wolves that can fight ten to one and turn the tide!”

“Mingxuan, you have been following me for so many years, is this what I taught you?”

Jiang Lan wanted to strangle the bastard in front of him personally.

Mingxuan took a deep breath, his expression became a little serious: “Prince, have you ever thought that if I don’t run away, will I still be alive to come back?”

“Yes, you are right, Ning Fan is very strong, but will he be on the same side with me? It is impossible. He is also going to Jiangnan when he attacks.”

“Even if he joins forces with me, I have no soldiers and generals under my command. Chu Yanbing and Jiang Tian will never spare me and will definitely swallow me up first.”

“By then, I won’t even have a chance to escape!”

Mingxuan explained unwillingly.

“I don’t care if I die, but the court asked me to lead 150,000 troops, and now there are only tens of thousands left, a loss of 120,000!”

“If the remaining 30,000 people all died in the battle, then even if I can survive, will those ministers in the court cabinet spare me?”

“How can I be worthy of these 30,000 soldiers!”

“Your Highness, I just want my brothers to survive, that’s all.”

“If I don’t lead the two armies to Ning Fan, I’m afraid I won’t even have a chance to escape. Chu Yanbing and Jiang Tian won’t give me a chance to escape.”

“It only takes one battle to completely penetrate me. If any nine-level saint walks out of their formation, they can destroy us!”

Mingxuan defended himself.

Jiang Lan’s eyes couldn’t stop spitting fire. He stood up suddenly, rushed to Mingxuan’s side, and kicked him to the ground.

“Asshole, is this a reason?”

“As a soldier of the Great Zhou, you should be proud to die on the battlefield. You don’t have to talk about cowardice so righteously!”

“Do you know that perhaps this battle will completely push Ning Fan to the opposite side of the court!”

“Do you know how much trouble you have caused?”

Jiang Lan gritted his teeth, feeling unsatisfied, and kicked Mingxuan hard again.

Mingxuan curled up on the ground, not daring to resist at all.

After kicking so many times, Jiang Lan seemed tired. He walked back to his chair and sat down. At this moment, he seemed to be much older.

“From now on, you will resign from the position of general, go back to your home, and reflect behind closed doors.”

“Be careful… don’t die!”

After Jiang Lan said this, he sighed deeply, got up and left the study.

Mingxuan got up from the ground and looked at Jiang Lan’s back as he left, his eyes red.

He knew that his prince was protecting him.

Jiang Lan, after all, remembered their old friendship and did not kill him. Otherwise, it would be more than just removing him from his position as general.

As for letting him

Be careful, to remind him to be careful of Ning Fan’s revenge.

Jiangnan.

After Ning Fan learned that Ming Xuan had returned to the capital, he rarely showed any murderous intent in his eyes. He just waved his hand and looked out the window indifferently.

In the turbulent times, the capital was still bustling and prosperous.

Even at night, there was no curfew, and the streets were crowded with people, and the hawkers’ cries were heard one after another.

The lights were on, and the prosperity was fully displayed.

In Ming Xuan’s mansion, he and his wives were drinking.

Each of his wives was good-looking, and two of them were even the daughters of important officials of the current dynasty. In order to show goodwill to Jiang Lan, they married their daughters to Ming Xuan.

“Husband, don’t think too much. You know better than anyone how the prince treats you. After such a big thing happened, he asked you to come back temporarily to protect you.”

“Yes, husband, I heard from my father that those censors wanted to kill you in the court today. If it weren’t for the prince, this matter would have become a big deal.”

“Hehe, those bastards dared to attack my husband. After this storm is over, I will let them know what regret is!”

“What’s the big deal? It’s just coming back. How can it be considered a deserter? People are all killed. We can’t let my husband and others die in Jiangnan.”

“As for our tricking Ning Fan, where is the evidence?”

For a while, several wives were whispering to comfort Mingxuan.

Mingxuan didn’t say anything, but just kept drinking glass after glass of wine.

“Okay, shut up!”

Suddenly, Mingxuan slapped the table, and the room suddenly became very quiet.

“No one in the mansion can mention this matter in the future.”

“Also, keep a low profile these days, and it’s best not to leave the mansion!”

“The prince told me to be careful, so as not to be retaliated by Ning Fan!”

Ming Xuan’s eyes trembled slightly when he mentioned Ning Fan.

“My husband, we have already arrived in the capital, why are you still afraid of Ning Fan? Does he dare to send people to the capital to take action?”

“If he takes action in the capital, he will not be afraid of the prince and His Majesty?”

“My husband, are you overthinking it?”

Several wives hurriedly persuaded.

Ming Xuan took a deep breath and his eyes tightened: “There is nothing in this world that Ning Fan dare not do!”

Huh.

The next second, the wind suddenly blew outside the originally calm hall.

The wind was a little cold and a little bit biting.

Ming Xuan was startled and his face changed drastically.
