Chapter 876 Thank You, Your Highness, for Your Understanding

Unexpectedly, he met a powerful young man and was defeated.

After hearing this, the Ninth Prince looked at Jiang Chen and said, "Since no lives were lost, this matter is over. I will have someone escort you out of the city."

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness."

Jiang Chen bowed and thanked him.

When they left, the Ninth Prince's eyes sparkled with brilliance.

"Aren't you afraid that he will run away?" said the woman next to her.

"Every inch of land in this city belongs to me." said the Ninth Prince.

The woman nodded, understanding the meaning of this sentence. The imperial power is the most solid.

………

Not long after Jiang Chen and his companions left the palace, many warriors poured into the imperial city.

"It's the prince's guard."

Everyone was shocked to find that more than 5,000 soldiers rushed out of the imperial city, closed the city gates and prevented anyone from leaving.

Then, a carriage drove out, with a handsome and tall man sitting inside.

Sitting next to him was a beautiful woman, who was the current queen.

"The prince is too young after all. He can't control the situation at all."

Someone sighed.

"That may not be the case."

Another voice sounded.

I saw a skinny old man walking slowly towards me, followed by two maids.

"Master Lin."

Seeing the person coming , everyone showed awe.

"You go first, I'll stay and take a look." Master Lin waved his hand.

After hearing his words, everyone stopped lingering and left.

Jiang Chen took Zhao Linger and the other two and quietly left the imperial city while the chaos was going on.

Half a quarter of an hour later, they returned to the inn safely.

"Brother Jiang Chen, this sister is so beautiful."

Xiaolian noticed Jiang Rou and praised her.

When Zhao Linger heard the name, her face turned red and she stole a glance at Jiang Chen.

"I'm your brother's friend." Zhao Linger explained.

Jiang Rou said "oh".

"You guys take a rest first."

Jiang Chen said.

Zhao Linger nodded and went into the room to sleep. Zhao Rou and Xiaolian also went into their rooms, and the room soon became quiet.

Jiang Chen sat cross-legged, practicing his skills to recover his lost strength.

After a night, he woke up from his meditation, full of energy.

“Brother Jiang!”

Not long after I got up, there was a hurried knock on the door. It was the fat shopkeeper.

Jiang Chen pushed open the door and saw the fat shopkeeper looking panicked. He said, "You are not dead yet!"

His tone was filled with worry.

"Fat shopkeeper , I'm fine." Jiang Chen said.

The fat shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I saw the head hanging on the city wall just now, and I almost thought you died in there. You scared us so much!"

"Don't worry, I'm lucky." Jiang Chen said.

"Let's go quickly, Heihu's uncle won't let us go." The fat shopkeeper urged.

Jiang Chen was startled and asked, "How do you know they would find this place?"

"I heard some news this morning."

"What news?"

"Someone secretly spread rumors that Black Tiger killed you and forced the Ninth Prince to abdicate!"

"Hei Hu's uncle is the Grand Marshal of the Daqian Dynasty, with great power!"

"If Black Tiger is defeated, the Grand Marshal will definitely not forgive him!"

The fat shopkeeper said anxiously.

Jiang Chen's mind moved when he heard this.

Heihu's uncle is a powerful hero.

"We are heading out of the city now."

Jiang Chen immediately changed his mind.

Hei Hu's uncle is the Grand Marshal of the Nation, and he must have a lot of high-grade elixirs.

"Are you crazy?!"

The fat shopkeeper was startled.

"Hei Hu's uncle is not someone you can easily mess with."

He was worried that Jiang Chen didn't know how terrifying the Grand Marshal was, so he tried to persuade him.

However, Jiang Chen was determined and insisted on leaving.

In desperation, the fat shopkeeper could only take them out of the city and head to the mountains outside the city.

"Master Jiang Chen, what are you doing?"

On the way, Zhao Linger looked at Jiang Chen in confusion.

She could see that Jiang Chen seemed to want to use the power of the Imperial City to fight back.

But doing so would be tantamount to seeking death, after all, Heihu's uncle is a ruthless character.

"We can't escape."

Jiang Chen said.

Zhao Linger seemed to be thinking about something, not quite understanding.

"You don't believe me?" Jiang Chen asked again.

"No." Zhao Linger shook her head.

"That's it."

Jiang Chen smiled and looked into the distance, thinking that he had done what he was supposed to do.

As for whether the royal family can escape danger, he will not consider it, after all, he is just a passerby.

All he has to do is protect himself.

After figuring this out, an inexplicable smile appeared on his face.

…

The Grand Marshal’s Residence, study.

Heihu's uncle Heihu sat in a chair, drinking tea with an expressionless face.

"Grand Marshal, Jiang Chen has left the city."

Standing opposite him was a man in armor, who was Heihu's uncle Heifeng.

The Grand Marshal nodded and said, "I guess Jiang Chen is trying to escape from the Imperial City. Ignore him and send more people to keep an eye on him."

"Yes, sir!"

Black Tiger responded .

Heifeng hesitated for a while, seeming to want to say something but stopped himself.

Noticing that Hei Feng looked unnatural, the Grand Marshal asked, "What do you want to say?"

"The two people around Jiang Chen are not simple." Heifeng murmured.

The Grand Marshal fixed his eyes on him and examined him seriously.

"Although I don't know what kind of martial arts they practice, they are very powerful."

Heifeng said: "They should have reached the Xiantian realm!"

The Grand Marshal took a deep breath. He didn't expect Jiang Chen to have such a powerful background.

No wonder he dared to offend the Ninth Prince's dignity.

"I'll do it myself!"

The Grand Marshal said : "But before that, I need you to do something for me."

"Please give me your orders."

"Give Jiang Chen a letter and invite him to the military camp."

"yes."

Heifeng took the order and left.

"Do you think I can't do anything to you like this?"

The Grand Marshal said coldly: "I have thousands of ways to torture you to death and make your life worse than death."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, indicating that Heifeng could leave.

"Grand Marshal, which method are you going to use this time?"

Hei Hu's uncle asked.

"Poison|dragon."

The Grand Marshal slowly uttered two words.

"The poison dragon is a second-grade demon beast, and its poison is extremely strong."

When mentioning the poisonous dragon, Hei Hu's uncle showed a look of horror.

"Not only is it extremely poisonous, it also has intelligence. If you are not careful, it will bite you back."

The Grand Marshal said calmly: "Poison dragons like to live alone and usually act alone. We will send more than a hundred people to ambush in the forest."

He paused and said, "Jiang Chen doesn't know whether to live or die. He actually wants to save people. This is extremely stupid."

Hearing the Grand Marshal's plan, Uncle Black Tiger was impressed.

"In this way, the poisonous dragon will surely die."

The Grand Marshal sneered: "Unless it is a strong man in the Martial Honor Realm, who can save Jiang Chen!"

After he finished speaking, he stood up and left the study to gather the troops.

Jiang Chen and others didn't know this.

He followed the fat shopkeeper out of the city and rushed along the official road.

The group ran for half a day and finally arrived at the foot of the mountains.

"Uncle Black Tiger is inside the mountain."

The fat shopkeeper pointed to the mountain ahead, his eyes flashing coldly.

"What's the name of that mountain?"

"Haunted Mountain."
