"What's going on now?"
"The person wasn't captured by Third Miss," one of the guards finally spoke.
"Two days ago, when Third Miss went to Hagu District for an outing, a black-clad man suddenly appeared and threw this young girl to Third Miss."
"That man also said he encountered the people Chief Guard Jing sent to investigate on Skong Star, in the lower star region."
"The people Chief Guard Jing sent were all killed," the guard continued, spilling the information like beans from a bamboo tube.
"He made a decisive move to capture the Crown Princess's sister, which allowed him to narrowly escape back..."
"We also found this matter very strange, but as soon as Third Miss heard that the young girl was the Divine Land Crown Princess's sister, she stubbornly insisted on having her own way and completely refused to listen to any advice."
"Our informants ambushed in the Divine Land imperial capital should have already made their move."
"What move???" Jing Linyao's heart immediately filled with a bad premonition, and her entire body tensed up.
The guard lowered his head, muttering softly, "Subordinate heard yesterday that Third Miss told the informant lurking in the imperial capital to deliver a letter to the Crown Princess."
Jing Linyao's eyes widened in disbelief, and she immediately turned to walk out of the tent.
The guards quickly stopped her, their faces filled with shame. "Princess Jing, we apologize, but Third Miss gave the order, and we cannot defy it."
Jing Linyao naturally knew that the Jiaoqi Camp only obeyed the commands of the person holding the edict token.
Now that the edict token was in Jing Minyao's hands, the people of the Jiaoqi Camp would only follow Jing Minyao's orders.
Jing Linyao nodded, clenching her fists and speaking coldly, "I know you have your difficulties, but you must believe me! If you don't let me out to make arrangements, the Aurora Sands will soon be destroyed! All the Pangu Clan members are about to suffer a catastrophic disaster."
She knew the little Crown Princess's character too well.
Back then, when they met in Shuntian Prefecture, the little Crown Princess was relentless, determined to personally execute Jing Minyao.
The Crown Princess was never an easy person to deal with.
An eye for an eye!
This idiot Jing Minyao had taken part in kidnapping her sister, and the Crown Princess would certainly not spare any of them.
She had to get out and arrange everything!
A moment too late... she couldn't even imagine.
She felt as if she could already see a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood before her!
"Princess Jing," the guards exchanged glances, then hesitantly reached out to stop her.
"Believe me! If you don't let me out now, it will be too late!" Jing Linyao said sternly. "I will take responsibility for anything that happens."
The guards exchanged glances. Out of deference to Princess Jing's prestige within the clan, they didn't dare to truly stop her, and simultaneously withdrew their hands.
Jing Linyao slipped out of the tent and shot a signal into the sky.
This was a signal to Jing Tou, her father. Although her father was not entirely reliable, Jing Linyao knew that only his swift return could extinguish the impending war.
Jing Minyao emerged from her own tent, pointing at Jing Linyao with a face full of anger and hatred. "Arrest her!"
Hundreds of Jiaoqi Camp guards rushed forward, fighting with the dozens of personal guards who emerged from Jing Linyao's side.
The scene became heated. Tents toppled and tore apart, and several braziers that were outside the tents also overturned consecutively.
Flames began to spread, accidentally igniting the tent where Qiao Lin was held.
Jing Linyao's face changed dramatically, and she urgently cried, "Go save her!"
