vs 134 Head-to-head confrontation with Jiao Wanting
Xu Moxuan, who heard the sound of horses' hooves, also quickly turned his head, and saw Han Ling holding the reins in his hand, riding on a red jujube horse, his blue skirt rising in the wind, looking like a blooming orchid in the empty valley.
This was the first time he had seen her riding a horse, and suddenly seeing such a sassy and heroic appearance, as well as such a beautiful and elegant face, Xu Moxuan's heart couldn't help but move, and a smile of intoxication appeared in his surprised expression.
But why did she come here?
The wind was mixed with the crisp sound of jingling bells, and when Xu Moxuan's eyes fell on a bell on Han Ling's waist, he suddenly remembered another wind chime she had given him, which was also hanging on his waist, and at this moment it was catering to the sound coming from the wind, making a fierce and pleasant sound.
"I bought these two bells from a witch maiden in Miao Jiang for a lot of money, and they contain Qing Gu, if one of the Gu worms is in danger, the other Gu worm will definitely be able to feel it......"
Was it this bell that drew her in? Was it because the sound of the Gu bell made her sense the danger he was encountering, so she rushed here from the capital?
"Are you sure you want to give me this bell instead of my big brother?"
"The eldest young master has Nan Chu by his side, there is no need, but the fifth young master, your personal safety is even more worrying!"
Watching her ride closer, Xu Moxuan's mind suddenly echoed the words she had said and the worry in her clear eyes when she said this, and only then did she realize that when Ah Ling gave him this Gu bell, he had already expected that he would be in danger?
But how did she come up with it? Could it be that she also knows about this game set up by her eldest brother?
Just as he was looking at Han Ling and losing his mind, the white-clothed girl standing not far from him suddenly flipped her wrist and shot a cold light at Xu Moxuan, Han Ling saw the white light in the girl's hand, so he shouted in horror: "Fifth Young Master, dodge to the right side!" β
Almost as soon as she spoke, Xu Moxuan turned to the right side without thinking, and out of the corner of his eye, he glimpsed a sharp light passing dangerously across his chest, and in an instant, he saw a sharp short knife stuck on the ground.
I don't know when the two of them have cultivated a tacit understanding, and this tacit understanding can make each other understand with just a word or a look.
Han Ling turned over from his horse and walked quickly to Xu Moxuan's side, seeing that he was covered in blood, he couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Fifth Young Master, are you okay?" β
Xu Moxuan still looked at Han Ling in a trance, and the corners of his lips overflowed with a touch of warm joy.
"Ah Ling, how did you know I was here?" He asked.
Han Ling smiled slightly, took off the bell on his waist, and shook it in front of Xu Moxuan's eyes.
"Have you forgotten this bell?" She replied with a smile, "It told me!" β
Although the answer was in Xu Moxuan's expectations, hearing her say such a sentence in person, Xu Moxuan was still very moved and laughed happily, and Lu Yanzhao, who had just turned over from the horse, saw their expressions of looking at each other and smiling, his eyes darkened slightly.
Actually, Ah Ling cares about Xu Moxuan very much in his heart, right? It's just that she doesn't even know about it! He couldn't help but think so.
The reason why Han Ling knew that Xu Moxuan was in Tongzhou was not just because of Gu Ling, but because of what Mama Xu said to her this morning, the news that Xu Mingyan betrayed to the mysterious woman in the Organ Pavilion was "Duanyang Festival on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, Tongzhou Grand Canal!" β
From this sentence, she could deduce that the Fifth Young Master must have been sent to Tongzhou by the eldest young master, and the purpose of coming here was probably the answer analyzed in the nine songs she had told the eldest young master, that is, the book that had been searching for seven years without success.
So, who will be the mysterious woman who made a deal with Xu Mingyan?
Han Ling's gaze swept over the corpses lying on the ground and a group of Japanese armed with katanas in front of him, and finally landed on the face of a white-clothed girl standing by the river.
At this time, the girl in white was not masked, and because she was closer, her face was particularly clear in her eyes.
When he saw this face, Han Ling's heart almost slammed - it turned out to be her again!
I thought that after rejecting that pair of sisters seven years ago, I would never have any intersection with this woman in this life, but I didn't expect this woman to appear in her life again and again in an unpredictable way.
Could it be that the mysterious woman who made a deal with Xu Mingyan in the Organ Pavilion that Mama Yu said was also her?
She even wanted that book, but what did that book mean to her? What is this woman up to? Or who is doing it for?
"Jiao Wanting? I didn't expect it to be you again! Han Ling couldn't help but blurt out this familiar name.
The girl in white didn't seem surprised when she heard her name, and as if she had seen an old friend, she smiled and answered: "Yes! I didn't expect you to come here, Ah Jiu, we meet again! β
Han Ling's face changed slightly, this woman actually called her by her maiden name, as if she was used to calling her in her previous life, could it be that this woman was also like her, knowing everything in her previous life?
"Ah Ling, this woman, did you know each other before?" Xu Moxuan couldn't help but ask in astonishment, in fact, when Han Ling called out this name, he felt a sense of surprise and doubt in his heart, because he had heard Han Ling mention this name in his dream?
Know? How can you not recognize? A friend who has been with her for more than ten years in her previous life, it's a pity that she didn't see the details of this woman until she died, she had doubted many identities of this woman, but she never thought -
"You're Japanese?" Han Ling still looked at this charming and enchanting girl in white intently, and said in a dumb voice.
When the girl in white heard this, she laughed as if she was listening to a joke.
"The Japanese? Ah Jiu, you are still so self-righteous! How can you be sure that I am Japanese? She asked with a sarcastic smile.
"If you weren't Japanese, how could you order these Toei samurai, and how could you understand the art of Toei ninjas?" Han Ling asked, "What is your relationship with Toyotomi Taiichi?" β
Toyotomi Takiichi? When he heard this name, Xu Moxuan looked at Han Ling in even more surprise.
Wasn't that the one she was terribly afraid of in her dreams?
When the girl in white heard her ask, she couldn't help but let out a series of giggles.
"So you already saw that these people around me were Toei samurai? But Ah Jiu, why did you think that I had something to do with Toyotomi Takiichi? Do you think you miss that man too? She said.
I didn't expect this woman to suddenly say such a sentence, Han Ling's face changed, he frowned, and Xu Moxuan shouted angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? β
"What? No one's fiancΓ© was jealous and angry, Fifth Master Xu, you were in a hurry first? β
What Jiao Wanting was referring to in her words was naturally Lu Yanzhao, who came with Han Ling, in fact, when Lu Yanzhao saw a little cinnabar on this woman's eyebrows, he was already very shocked, during this time, he had been searching for the whereabouts of this woman, but he didn't expect to meet her here, and this woman actually has such a great ability to command so many Japanese samurai?
Han Ling heard something wrong, and when Lu Yanzhao was about to ask, he preemptively stopped: "Don't pay attention to her, she is a radical general!" β
Lu Yanzhao looked at Han Ling's calm expression, his heart moved again, he smiled, nodded and stopped talking.
Han Ling set his eyes on Jiao Wanting again.
"Jiao Wanting, if you are not Japanese, then what are you doing all these things for?" She asked.
The girl in white showed an innocent look on her face, and asked softly, "What did I do?" β
Han Ling stood with his hands in his hands, groaning for a while, looking at Jiao Wanting's expression even more coldly.
"First, you killed someone in Fengyang Academy, and you also wanted to poison the strings and chess pieces, and wanted to put my cousin Yizhi to death, second, you seduced King Jing and joined forces with him to calculate me, and third, you secretly corresponded with Xu Mingyan, the second miss of Xu, and planted an inside line in the Duke of Wei's mansion to buy all the news related to the prince of Wei."
"Jiao Wanting, if you don't have an enmity with me Yang Ling, or a grudge against the Yang family, or even a grudge against the prince of Wei Guo, what is the benefit to you of doing these things?"
"The only explanation I can think of is that you are a Japanese spy yourself, and you only came to me to spy on secrets or to stir up strife within my family!"
When Han Ling said this, Lu Yanzhao and Xu Moxuan's faces changed greatly, and Jiao Wanting showed a variety of expressions in an instant.
"One thing I don't understand, though, is why did you come and snatch that book?" She said again.
When Jiao Wanting heard this, she couldn't help but squint slightly, and pretended not to understand: "Book? β
"Didn't you come here today just to snatch that book from the Fifth Young Master?" Han Ling said, "Qingyun is dressed in white clothes, and he raises a long arrow to shoot the wolf. Cao Yu arc is reversed, and Beidou is drinking cinnamon syrup. This sentence was originally what I told the eldest young master, where did you learn about this sentence? β
"And not many people know this sentence, in addition to the few people I informed, there is another person who is Toyotomi Takiichi, could it be that you took this book for Toyotomi Takiichi?"
Jiao Wanting's expression changed strangely.
"Toyotomi Takichi? For him? As if she had heard a joke, she sneered, "I'm going to do this for him?" It's ridiculous! β
"If it's not for him, what's the use of you getting this book? That's just evidence that Yan Fan framed Zhongliang, what does it have to do with you? β
When Han Ling asked like this, Jiao Wanting put away the mocking smile on her face and sank her face.
"Ah Jiu, how do you know that I am here for a book?" She asked, "Could it be that the prince of Wei also told you the whereabouts of that book?" β
Han Ling smiled slightly, shook his head, and replied: "No, he didn't say anything to me, I just sent someone to follow Second Miss Xu Xu Mingyan in the past few days, learned about a deal made between you, and knew that you would come to Tongzhou to snatch something from the Fifth Young Master, and judging from the current situation, you seem to have failed, and you fell for the eldest young master's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, aren't you?" β
Jiao Wanting smiled coldly and said, "Yes, I fell for his trick to divert the tiger from the mountain, I didn't expect him to find out that someone was listening to the news from him so early, and what I didn't expect was that he would even use his own brother and send so many secret guards to turn our attention!" β
"The eldest young master has always been very cautious in doing things, how could it be so easy for you to find out the news from him? Unless it's a bait! Han Ling continued, "It's just that you're too stupid!" β
Jiao Wanting's face changed angrily, she endured it for a while, and said with a smile: "Since you are so smart, can you now speculate who he will send to pick up that book?" β
Han Ling smiled and asked rhetorically, "Are you tricking me?" β
"Even if I knew, how could I be so stupid to tell you?" She said.
This sentence made Lu Yanzhao and Xu Moxuan both laugh, and at the same time, they were surprised and admired by her ability to respond so shrewdly.
Jiao Wanting finally couldn't laugh anymore, she straightened her delicate body, took a step back, then raised her hand, made a gesture to the person behind her, and said with a sneer: "Ah Jiu, we have already fought in King Jing's Mansion, you should know that you are not my opponent at all now, and it is easy for me to kill you!" β
Looking at this woman's move, Lu Yanzhao and Xu Moxuan took a step forward at the same time, both wanting to stand in front of Han Ling.
"If you want to kill her, you have to ask us if we agree?" Xu Moxuan said coldly.
Han Ling immediately grabbed Xu Moxuan's hand and grabbed Lu Yanzhao's sleeve.
"Yes, I am indeed not your opponent, but, Jiao Wanting, do you know that the praying mantis catches cicadas, and there are yellow finches behind!"
After saying this sentence meaningfully, Han Ling suddenly shouted at the jungle not far away: "Yellow Sparrow hiding behind us, it's time for you to come out!" β
Her shout made Jiao Wanting and the Japanese samurai behind her stunned, but after a moment of consternation, they saw countless brocade guards emerge from the jungle and quickly rushed to the side of the Grand Canal where they were, and soon surrounded everyone here.
When Lu Yanzhao saw these brocade guards, he immediately thought that these people must have been following him and Ah Ling, and the person who sent these brocade guards must also be his father.
He couldn't help but look at Han Ling in surprise and guilt.
"Ah Ling, did you know that these people had been following us?" He asked.
Han Ling looked at Lu Yanzhao and nodded, she smiled, and she didn't seem surprised by this.
She looked at Jiao Wanting, whose face was full of anger and astonishment, and said loudly to the group of Jinyi guards who surrounded her: "I know that you are sent by the commander, but at the same time, you are also the Jinyi guards of the Great Emperor, everyone knows that the emperor hates the Japanese Invaders the most, if you can capture this group of Japanese Invaders, you will definitely be rewarded by the imperial court, and besides, I will also tell you what the Commander wants!" β
One of the brocade guards at the head glanced at Han Ling, he knew that what Han Ling said was not wrong at all, if they could arrest these widows, they would definitely be able to show their merits to the imperial court, and ......
"Miss Yang, you said that what adults want, they will tell us, is this true?" He asked.
Han Ling nodded and smiled, "Of course! β
As soon as her words fell, Jiao Wanting shouted angrily: "She is borrowing a knife to kill people, you must not be deceived by her words, she doesn't know where the book is!" β
However, her words did not make the group of brocade guards stop and restrain their murderous aura, but instead made them take a step closer to her.
"Yes, this is a borrowed knife to kill people, but the person who borrowed is willing, and the person being borrowed is also willing, so why not?"
Han Ling laughed coldly: "Do I know the whereabouts of that book, they will judge for themselves, do they still have to listen to you, a Japanese?" β
Hearing such a sentence, the Jinyi guard led by him finally stopped hesitating and shouted: "Give it to me!" Get them! β
As soon as this sentence fell, countless brocade guards flocked to the group of Japanese samurai, and they fought together in an instant, originally this group of Japanese samurai was exhausted after fighting with the dark guards brought by Nan Chu, and now they met so many Jinyi guards with high martial arts, and they were not their opponents.
And just when they were inseparable, Han Ling pulled Xu Moxuan and Lu Yanzhao and the group of injured secret guards and quickly left here.
Jiao Wanting looked at Han Ling's departing back, gritted her silver teeth with hatred, and said secretly in her heart: Han Ling, in this life, I will not lose to you again, and I will definitely let you go through the pain I have experienced in this life! It's you who are sorry for me! It's you who are sorry for me!
Han Ling didn't know Jiao Wanting's hatred for her at the moment, but quickly fled with Xu Moxuan, Lu Yanzhao, Nan Chu and others to a place not far from the market to stop.
Seeing that Xu Moxuan and Nan Chu were both seriously injured, Han Ling couldn't help but be worried and surprised.
"The martial arts of the Fifth Young Master and Brother Nan Chu are not weak, how could they be so seriously injured by this group of Japanese samurai?" She asked.
Xu Moxuan smiled abruptly and replied embarrassedly: "It was a plot by that woman!" β
After that, he told Han Ling everything about coming to the Grand Canal to fight with a person to obtain the box, and being attacked by this group of Japanese.
After listening, Han Ling nodded clearly, and even thought of a very serious question: the eldest young master set up this game with the fifth young master as bait, and sent out all the secret guards, so who would he let take the book?
There was no one else around him, could he ......
A bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart, and Han Ling asked nervously and impatiently, "Fifth Young Master, Big Brother Nan Chu, what did the eldest young master tell you before sending you here?" (To be continued.) )
