Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 1733: Chapter 1733: It’s time to wrap things up here

In the end, Kong Xunwu signed the divorce papers with tears, and finally looked pleadingly at Jiang Zhiyi, hoping for a chance to salvage the situation.

Jiang Zhihe came over, blocking her older sister, and glared at Kong Xunwu, saying, ”Enough of the act, where was all this deep emotion before?”

”Xunwu, you can’t leave for now. Wait until we have left, then you can return.” Jiang Xuexiang said with a stern face.

Kong Xunwu looked embarrassed, ”Father-in-law, you underestimate your son-in-law.”

”Don’t call me that, we’re divorced now.” Jiang Zhiyi reminded coldly.

”It’s not underestimating you. It’s the same rule in any family. Just bear with it.” Jiang Xuexiang’s words were polite, but his tone was somewhat hard; after all, Kong Xunwu was no longer his son-in-law.

In the blink of an eye, it was the dead of night on the second day. Jiang Xuexiang, following Jiang Yichun’s instructions, brought his family to meet up with him.

Behind Jiang Yichun were a few people, and Jiang Xuexiang was stunned when he recognized them.

Wasn’t that his former sister-in-law, Gai Yalai? And the hooded person beside her was Prince Xue? How could the entire Xue Family be involved?

He and Jiang Chenshi exchanged a glance, deciding not to ask anything, after all, she was Yichun’s biological mother, so it was inevitable she would be brought along.

Yu Chenghua walked up to Jiang Yichun, somewhat excitedly greeting him with folded arms. Jiang Yichun patted his shoulder and said to the crowd, ”Some people have been arranged to leave already, others left a few days ago, and you are the last batch. Go on, don’t speak and don’t fall behind on the way.”

No horse carriage? Are we going to run out? Everyone was puzzled but remembered Jiang Yichun’s instruction not to speak, so they held back their questions.

Soon, everyone was brought into an inconspicuous small mansion. Jiang Yichun entered the courtyard’s kitchen, moved aside the large iron pot on the stove.

He pressed a few mechanical triggers, followed by a click, and the stove descended, revealing a dim secret passage.

”Line up, the road inside is narrow, be careful not to bump into each other.” Lightning commanded everyone into the secret passage, Jiang Xuexiang hesitated but seeing Jiang Yichun’s business-like demeanor, he swallowed back his words.

The secret passage still had fresh soil, indicating it was recently dug. It seemed Jiang Yichun had secretly arranged these passages before planning the rescue.

Once outside, the group realized they exited not through the expected West Gate, but the South Gate.

Someone awaited nearby, Jiang Yichun directed them to the horse carriages ahead, yet at that moment, the urgent sound of hooves echoed from a distance...

”Oh no, it’s the Imperial Guards! How did the news leak?” Jiang Xuexiang said in panic, and behind him, Jiang Zhiyi tightened her body, muttering softly, ”Could it be Kong Xunwu? I insisted on divorcing him to avoid implicating him; how could he be so despicable!”

”Lightning, get everyone on the carriage and leave, I’ll hold them off!” Jiang Yichun’s face displayed seriousness.

”Master...” Lightning hesitated but heard Jiang Yichun say, ”I entrust my family to you, hurry!”

Jiang Xuexiang thought Kong Xunwu had gone to report after they left, and his gaze toward Jiang Yichun was full of guilt. Yu Chenghua pulled him onto the carriage.

”Zhihe, take care of father and mother, I’m going to help big brother.” Yu Chenghua gave Jiang Zhihe a radiant smile, then quickly jumped off the carriage.

”Husband...” Jiang Zhihe called out worriedly but couldn’t stop him from helping his brother, otherwise he wouldn’t forgive her, and she couldn’t forgive herself.

The carriage moved, Jiang Zhihe’s tears fell, hoping Chenghua and her brother would come back safely.

Beside Jiang Yichun, Gai Yalai trembled in fear, clutching Jiang Yichun’s sleeve, asking, ”How did this happen? You said the arrangements were secure, how did the Imperial Guards find out?”

”Let go, quickly get on the carriage!” Jiang Yichun’s tone turned cold, if this woman wasn’t his mother, he would have knocked her out by now, given the situation.

Gai Yalai’s nanny hurriedly helped her onto the carriage, when suddenly, Xue Wenqian moved, drawing a dagger to stab Jiang Yichun’s heart.

Yu Chenghua rushed in from the side door, seeing this scene he kicked, sending Xue Wenqian flying.

Next, Prince Xue also took action, drawing his sword towards Jiang Yichun, in no time, the Imperial Guards arrived, surrounding Jiang Yichun and his group.

Gai Yalai hadn’t gotten on the carriage, she stood frozen, incredulously looking at Prince Xue, asking, ”How could you do this?”

Prince Xue’s gaze wavered, avoiding Gai Yalai’s question, while Xue Wenqian crawled up, sneering, ”I am loyal to the new emperor; father has also decided to serve the new emperor. Traitors like you should be killed!”

Jiang Yichun sneered, ”So you’re the ones who leaked the secret. I shouldn’t have been soft-hearted and brought you along. Since you’ve decided to be King Rui’s dogs, today I’ll take your dog lives!”

He swung his sword forcefully, the Sword Qi slicing towards the sneered Xue Wenqian, who instantly felt enveloped in murderous intent, hurriedly retreating but too late; a thin bloodline appeared on his neck, pausing two or three seconds before blood gushed out.

It’s said the faster a sword, the less blood shows because the sword’s speed exceeds blood flow speed, taking a few seconds for blood to emerge; clearly, Jiang Yichun’s sword achieved such a level.

Xue Wenqian reached for his throat, but once blood flowed it couldn’t be stopped; his body slumped down.

”Qian’er!” Prince Xue cried painfully, swinging his sword at Jiang Yichun. The Imperial Guards approached, dismounting to attack Jiang Yichun.

This was King Rui’s orders to kill him at all costs, focusing all forces on him alone; as long as he was killed!

Jiang Yichun dodged hastily, his subordinates and Yu Chenghua protected him, but the sheer number of Imperial Guards quickly injured and felled some, even severing heads.

Jiang Yichun was wounded in his right arm from Prince Xue’s sneak attack, blood soaking nearly half his sleeve.

He soon felt his vision blur, realizing he’d been poisoned, hastily swallowing a few pills of Detoxification Medicine from Bai Ruozhu’s medicine bottle, but the distraction allowed another wound on his thigh.

The encirclement tightened, his clashes with enemies intensified; escaping seemed impossible, dizziness from blood loss repeatedly hit, gradually losing the light in his eyes, was today really his end?

A whistling sound broke the air, short arrows shot in lands, seemingly aiming at the earth within the encirclement, quickly expelling faint yellow smoke from the arrow tails...
