Chapter 442: Retreat!

In a moment, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and one soldier supported another soldier, and the soldier who was supported was Hu Guo, and he was released.

Hu Guo was dressed as a soldier, but he was a guard, and he was hit by an arrow in the back, which contained poison, and he was seriously wounded and weak.

In the barracks over there, Jing Qingran knew that she had been used by the enemy to threaten Mu Zhengchen, and when she broke the jar.

"Let Hu Guo go, otherwise, I will commit suicide, in this case, you will not be able to use me to negotiate with King Chen, and more importantly, if I die, I will be his princess no matter what I say, I think he will definitely help me avenge it."

Jing Qingran said this, and then, the leader ordered Hu Guo to be released.

Hu Guo is highly poisonous, and if he delays treatment, he is afraid that he will really die, so since the real purpose of those people is Jing Qingran, then Jing Qingran, an 'important hostage', said so.

The doctor in the army quickly examined Hu Guo's body, his poison is not incurable, it's just that after a delay for so long, he is still seriously injured, and it is more troublesome to treat, not for a year and a half, I am afraid that it will not be cured.

But it's good to be alive.

Hu Guo's return also shows that Jing Qingran was arrested by them.

Mu Zhengchen agreed to Xue Ming's request, withdrew his troops, and did not fight.

……

Anyway, Jing Qingran is still a very righteous person, at the critical moment, he was in a hurry, and took advantage of the scarcity of his hostages to let the enemy release Hu Guo, and she was still locked up in the thief's den.

However, her treatment is more than a notch better than yesterday.

As long as King Chen does not die, she, Princess Chen, can still enjoy some blessings.

However, if Mu Zhengchen didn't choose to save her, but chose to continue the attack, maybe, she would have become a corpse and a wisp of dead soul by now......

The next day, Mu Zhengyu, the king of Yu, led the army to retreat in the direction of the capital.

The enemy's forces were lost by more than half, and the remnants of the defeated troops were fleeing in the opposite direction.

A distance, the two sides are getting farther and farther apart.

Only a few people are left to make the final deal.

Mu Zhengchen stayed.

……

"King Chen really keeps his word." Xue Ming looked at Mu Zhengchen with a smile and said.

Mu Zhengchen ignored his smile.

On the road, there are trees on both sides, verdant and secluded, birds can often be heard, and a few people stand in the middle of the road, and there are no hostages in sight.

"The location of Princess Chen is in this jungle, Lord Wang, please." Xue Ming pointed to the jungle behind him and spoke.

"Lord Wang, be careful of deception, let's let my subordinates go." At this time, Lin Xuan whispered to Mu Zhengchen.

King Chen did not have many people with him, only three people, and the army had already gone away.

Lin Xuan's meaning was obvious, that is, to let Mu Zhengchen stay in this safe place, and then let his subordinates pick up the princess back.

"It doesn't matter." Mu Zhengchen opened his mouth lightly, then raised his feet and walked towards the depths of the jungle with Xue Ming.

The other three did not dare to slack off and followed closely.

……

After walking for twenty minutes, I still didn't see Jing Qingran's figure.

"You're playing this king?" Mu Zhengchen looked at Xue Ming with a bloodthirsty coldness.

The other three were also ready to do it.

"The prince is angry, Princess Chen, she is not far ahead, King Chen, please go again." Xue Ming smiled and bowed down to continue to the depths of the jungle.

Mu Zhengchen tried his best to suppress his anger and continued to move forward.

The three guards naturally looked at the prince.
