I get stronger every day I live.

Chapter 23 The King Wants His Subject to Die
The two guards rushed towards Yan Chengtian without fear of life and death. They were carrying many powerful thunder and fire beads on their bodies, and they exploded the moment they got close to Yan Chengtian.

The terrible explosion caused a huge commotion, and the violent and hot energy spread like a whirlwind, destroying everything and alarming the entire palace.

Yan Chengtian was protected by the power of national destiny in the palace of the Great Yan Dynasty. Although the power of the explosion of a large number of thunder and fire beads was extremely strong, they could not really hurt him.

Yan Chengtian waved his hand to disperse the smoke. He looked a little embarrassed, with a cold expression mixed with a hint of anger.

Due to the influence of a moment, Lord Mo broke free from his suppression, and when he looked again, the man had disappeared without a trace.

I didn't expect that after planning carefully for so long, he still escaped.

However, this was not what made him most angry. What he did not expect was that the other party had the ability to plant spies in his palace.

He had previously massacred a group of people, but he never expected that there were still some people who had escaped in the palace, and even risked their lives to protect him.

"You talk about deep brotherly love, but in the end, aren't you still wary of me?"

In a blink of an eye, the palace guards arrived, looking terrified.

"Your Majesty, please forgive us for being late in rescuing you."

"King Tongwu, Lord Mo, has committed treason and disrespect for his father and emperor. He is plotting rebellion. The Imperial City will be sealed off immediately. No one will be allowed to harbor him. Anyone who accompanies him will be punished along with his entire clan."

Yan Chengtian said lightly.

Everyone was shocked. Prince Tongwu was plotting rebellion?!
If this is true, the Great Yan Dynasty will be in turmoil.

Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, since it was said by His Majesty himself, as His Majesty's royal guards, they will obey His Majesty's orders in everything.

"As ordered."

……

On the other hand, Mo Ruyan and others were unaware of the earth-shaking changes that had taken place in the imperial city.

Under the protection of the Silver Armor Army, they advanced quickly all the way north.

It has to be said that the roads and means of transportation in ancient times were inconvenient. Sitting on them was really bumpy and uncomfortable.

With the protection of the Silver Armored Army, Yang Kuan drove the carriage, and Lai Yang took this opportunity to practice the Breath-Returning-to-Origin Technique.

The journey from the Imperial City to Beijiang City is long, and it takes at least one or two months of horse riding.

No one knows if something bad will happen in the future. The stronger your own strength is, the more protection you have.

Lai Yang found that he could not see through the cultivation level of each member of the Silver Armor Army. He thought they must have all practiced the Breath-Returning-Origin Technique.

Everyone likes to be the sixth.

Apart from the necessary sleep time, they spent most of their time on the road, and occasionally stopped to rest for a while.

Whenever he has free time, Lai Yang will find a place to practice the Nine Heavens Big Dipper Sword.

With his current state of mind and physical fitness, he wouldn't feel the slightest bit tired even if he stayed awake for three to five days.

Three days later, Lai Yang successfully mastered the art of collecting qi and returning to the origin, and his qi and blood could be circulated freely.

Even Yang Kuan couldn't help but be amazed when he saw it. He didn't expect that he could master the Breath-Returning-Origin Technique so quickly. Even with his own strength, he couldn't tell how deep he was.

This kid's talent is really extraordinary.

"We will soon reach the next city, and then we will go inside to rest." said Tan Qiyuan, captain of the Silver Armor Army.

Hearing that she could finally go into the city to rest, Mo Ruyan's face showed a hint of joy.

The long journey was tedious and really too tiring.

In addition, they have been eating dry food that is easy to preserve these days, and their mouths are almost dry.

After entering the city, the first thing you must do is to find a good inn, have a good meal, and then take a comfortable bath to wash away all your fatigue.

After about half a day, the tall city gate appeared in front of them.

Seeing the crowd of soldiers wearing silver armor, guarding a seemingly ordinary carriage, the soldiers' expressions froze slightly, and they shouted, "Who are you? Tell me your name." Tan Qiyuan stepped forward and displayed his identity token from the Wu Palace. Lang Sheng shouted, "I am Tan Qiyuan, a captain of the silver-armored army under the command of the Wu Palace. The person in the carriage is Princess Wu Yan of the Wu Palace. Why don't you open the city gates and let us in? We will rest here for a day and then leave."

"Silver Armor Army?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the soldiers guarding the city changed slightly, and they immediately ordered the people around them to report the matter to the city lord.

"This is a matter of great importance. We have no right to make the decision. I have already reported this to the governor. Please wait at the city gate."

The soldiers in charge of defending the city shouted to the people in front of the city gate.

Seeing this, Tan Qiyuan didn't say anything, and the group waited silently.

After a while, the city gate in front of them still showed no signs of opening, and there seemed to be many more soldiers guarding the city wall. They could even vaguely hear the sound of crossbows being loaded.

A sense of crisis surged in everyone's hearts, and they instantly realized that something was wrong.

"Lord Mo, the King of Tongwu, has committed treason and is plotting rebellion. You are a shameless traitor. Now, we will capture all of you and your fellow traitors, regardless of life or death."

As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of arrows shot towards the Silver Armor Army and Mo Ruyan's carriage.

Everyone's face changed and they all took action to block the flying arrows.

"Protect the princess!"

Lai Yang and Yang Kuan attacked at the same time. Lai Yang jumped onto the roof of the carriage shed, and the sword flashed with a sharp cold light, wrapped in a gust of wind and whistled out, instantly shattering several flying arrows.

"go!"

No one dared to stay and quickly protected Mo Ruyan's carriage and retreated.

"Chase them! Don't let them escape! Catch them, and the governor will reward you handsomely!"

However, the other party obviously did not intend to let them go easily, and quickly organized an army of nearly a hundred people to hunt them down.

When Mo Ruyan heard the other party calling Lord Mo an insubordination and attempting to rebel, her mind went blank and her pretty face turned pale.

How is it possible? How could Dad commit treason and rebellion?

He is the King Tongwu of Beijiang City, respected by countless people in the Great Yan Dynasty.

Her father has always taught her to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic. She is the princess of King Wu's Mansion. She was born with the mission of guarding the Northern Frontier City, protecting the millions of people of the Great Yan Dynasty, and repelling the barbarians in the north.

How could my father, who was so dedicated and loyal, and who devoted his entire life to resisting the northern barbarians, rebel?

There must be some misunderstanding.

"No, how is it possible? Why would Dad rebel..." Mo Ruyan muttered to herself, panicking for a moment.

"Princess, please calm down. It doesn't matter whether it's true or not at this point. What matters is that we return to Beijiang City safely with our lives. If the charge of rebellion against the prince has been thoroughly spread, then we will probably be unable to move forward." Mo Ruyan's personal maid consoled her earnestly.

Hearing her words, Mo Ruyan quickly calmed down again, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes.

"You're right. The most important thing now is to survive. We must return to Beijiang City alive."

The group ran quickly, not daring to stop for a moment, for fear that the pursuers behind would catch up with them.

But what they didn't know was that while they were waiting to enter the city, the prefect received the news and immediately sent a transfer order to the nearby military camp, ordering them to set up numerous ambushes ahead and wait for them to fall into the trap.

Suddenly, a Silver-Armored Soldier who was in charge of scouting in the front quickly returned and shouted:
"There is an army two kilometers ahead, advancing rapidly in our direction."

"How many of them are there?"

"About a hundred people."

"A few of you stay here to protect the princess, and the rest of you, follow me and charge! Wherever the silver armor points, we are invincible!"

"kill!!!"
