Chapter 50: Sacrifice

"If you don't hack the assassin to death at this time, why don't you wait for the assassin to get up and ignite the gunpowder on his body?!"

Ah Jiu's dissatisfied words reached the ears of Emperor Shenwu and the others, and then she once again shot crossbow arrows from the assassin who was entangled with Uncle Lu.

"Ah Jiu?!"

When the county lord of Zhaohua saw Ah Jiu, he couldn't help but look happy, and pointed to Ah Jiu, who was not in a hurry and calmly manipulated the crossbow arrows, and introduced it to Emperor Shenwu: "She is the granddaughter of Jiang Cifu's own sister, the daughter of the Jiang family's sister and Mo Guanjie. ”

Emperor Shenwu looked over, and the Merry Emperor, who had read all the beauties, naturally understood that Ah Jiu was very good, and at this time, he was already a beauty at a young age: "Jiang's stubborn granddaughter?!" It's not like him. ”

From Emperor Shenwu's address to Jiang Cifu, you can hear a slight difference.

Only Emperor Shenwu likes it very much, and he will give him a 'nickname' if he trusts his courtiers.

Ah Jiu didn't let her guard down, since she didn't hold back and rush out in the end, at least she had to do the full work, and Uncle Lu was still in danger, what if the assassin who was fighting with Uncle Lu was also tied to gunpowder?

With the help of her embarrassed cold arrows, Commander Lu made the process of dealing with the assassins much faster.

The imperial guards who reacted no longer looked at it, and joined the battle group one after another, and after a while, most of the assassins were ambushed, and even if there were a few assassins who were still alive, they were unable to resist anymore and were seriously injured, but before Emperor Shenwu said that the knife would leave people, all the assassins who were still alive committed suicide by poisoning.

With their deaths, they pledged allegiance to Lu Yun, the prince of Eastern Liao.

Emperor Shenwu's eyes were a little complicated, and he ordered: "Violent corpses for three days, to set an example." Ordered the state capitals and county governments of the empire to make every effort to eliminate the remnants of the Three Kingdoms who intended to subvert the Western Qin River and Mountains, such as the Plum Blossom League. ”

For the traitors who resisted several times and refused to submit, Emperor Shenwu never relented.

"Uncle Lu. Are you injured? ”

Ah Jiu trotted to Lu Tianyang's side, saw the bloodshot on the corner of his lips and the arm that was stabbed by the sword, shook his head and said, "Your subordinates still need to be trained more, they lack adaptability, and when they fight with assassins, they still have to wait for your orders?" ”

didn't wait for Lu Tianyang to speak. The county lord of Zhaohua shouted behind him; "Ah Jiu. Come here. ”

Lu Tianyang covered the wound on his arm with his palm, his palm was sticky and stained with his own blood, and read Ah Jiu in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the County Lord called you." ”

"I'll finish treating Uncle Lu's wound before I go over."

Ah Jiu found that Emperor Shenwu had entered the first floor of the world. No one can take away the 'credit' that affects her, and she saw that Aunt Zhou was taken to Emperor Shenwu by the imperial guards, and she might have to play a round for Aunt Zhou at this time.

It is not she who should worry about Aunt Zhou's safety, but Mo Xinqing and Fu Guogong.

Ah Jiu turned around and said to the slightly anxious Zhaohua County Lord: "I'll go to see Your Majesty in a while." Now...... My feet are soft and my head is cloudy. You have to calm down for a while so that you don't lose your temper in front of Your Majesty. ”

Lord Zhaohua narrowed his eyes slightly, Ah Jiu said well, she didn't believe a word, Ah Jiu was willing to stay because of King Lu Yan...... Lu Lingfeng, the prince of Chengguo, spoke: "Mother will follow Sister Ajiu." ”

"Ling Feng!"

"Mother."

The county lord of Zhaohua and his son Lu Lingfeng met each other. He hesitated for a moment because of the resoluteness in Lu Lingfeng's eyes, nodded and said, "Ah Jiu, you come here." The emperor has something to ask you. ”

Ah Jiu waved goodbye to the county lord of Zhaohua.

Lu Lingfeng glanced at Ah Jiu, and his gaze fell more on King Lu Yan. The hostility and the intention to resist are extremely obvious, and naturally even if Lu Yan is injured, he will not be half a point weaker in front of Lu Lingfeng.

After their mother and son turned around, Ah Jiu tilted his head, his eyes flickered twice, "Did Uncle Lu notice the prince ......of Chengguo?"

"Ah Jiu's niece cares about him?"

"It's not."

Ah Jiu shook his head hurriedly, Lu Tianyang's cold expression gradually softened, and he asked with a temptation: "You want to say that he only obeys His Royal Highness the County Lord?" No man's responsibility? Or is it that His Majesty pampered and cherished him? In two days, His Majesty will definitely agree to his marriage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's beloved daughter. ”

"I think the prince of Chengguo seems to be a little different from the last time we met."

Ah Jiu frowned, showing a little confusion, "In the past, the prince of Chengguo was very hearty, but just now I saw that he was a little more restrained, and there was a faint gloom. ”

Lu Tianyang said: "You are wrong. ”

"Maybe." Ah Jiu no longer thought about the change in Lu Lingfeng's expression, anyway, there was no need for him to be involved with himself, "I'll help Uncle Lu with medicine first." ”

"Small wounds, in fact, don't need to ......"

"Nope."

Ah Jiu grabbed Lu Tianyang's sleeve and dragged it to the side, "If you don't take medicine, the wound will be infected, what if it suppurates and Uncle Lu's arm can't be saved?" It's not me scaring Uncle Lu, the wound must be treated. ”

Sitting Lu Tianyangan on a chair in the vacated teahouse on the side of the road, Ah Jiu motioned for Liu Tiecheng to take the trauma medicine.

Liu Tiecheng blinked, "Adult? "Why didn't he understand it at all?

"Trauma medicine, prepare hot water." Ah Jiu glared at Liu Tiecheng, what a subordinate of Mu Ne, Uncle Lu is so pitiful.

"Oh."

Liu Tiecheng nodded again and again, turned around and went to prepare very quickly, not to blame him for his slow reaction, but Lord Lu never took medicine in front of his subordinates and dealt with wounds, in front of his subordinates, Lu Tianyang was like an invincible, I don't know how painful King Kong is, no matter how seriously injured, Lord Lu will hide and take medicine by himself.

"Do you wear your own clothes, or will I help you?"

“……”

Lu Tianyang's ears were slightly red, "Ah Jiu, are you ashamed?" ”

"It's just showing your arms, and it has something to do with shame? I'm not your niece. ”

Ah Jiu noticed that Lu Tianyang's eyes were inappropriate, and seemed to ask himself and him, "Could it be that Uncle Lu is shy?!" ”

Men in their thirties are shy? Ah Jiu felt that his sensitive feeling in the past was a bit of a problem today, first he misunderstood the prince of Chengguo, and then he saw Uncle Lu as a man who was shy and had never experienced beauty?!

Uncle Lu has been poisoned by the burning Gu, and Miao Nu is only a lover who is not lucky,

Lu Tianyang removed the sleeves of his injured arm, and most of his clothes were still on his shoulders, Ah Jiu pursed his mouth slightly, he was really stingy, but Uncle Lu's figure was really good, and there were muscles on his arms. The tight pectoral muscles can also be faintly seen on the chest, no wonder he looks good in clothes, and men with a figure are very conspicuous in everything they wear.

Ah Jiu carefully cleaned the wound with water, like a dragonfly dotting water, Lu Tianyang tightened his fists, sensing that his muscles were tense, Ah Jiu said: "It hurts?" ”

"Not ......"

This pain is for him who has been fighting against the poison of the burning Gu for more than ten years. It's really not a problem. It's just that Ah Jiu's cautious appearance made him feel unspeakably nervous.

"It doesn't hurt."

Ah Jiu quickly cleaned the wound and smeared several layers of thick trauma medicine. Wrapped the wound with a clean white silk and tied a bow playfully, "I'll help Uncle Lu deal with it today, and remember to take medicine tomorrow." ”

Liu Tiecheng stretched out his head. "On medicine, subordinates can help adults. But the live buckle on the white silk is not very skilled in subordinates. ”

"Shut up!"

Lu Tianyang stopped Liu Tiecheng, turned his back, and put on his clothes. I only heard Ah Jiu say behind him: "Be careful of the wound, it will be troublesome if it cracks." ”

By the way, Ah Jiu saw that Uncle Lu also had a few back muscles on his back, and this was not the time to laugh. Ah Jiu pursed his lips and took a few steps back. He also turned around and looked at the first floor of the world next door where the lights were bright and there were many guards.

The Western Qin Empire inherited the Qin Dynasty, and the armor of the soldiers was mostly black as ink, and in the middle of the night, encountering a black armor and fierce Western Qin soldiers was enough for the enemy to have a headache.

However, this time Emperor Shenwu was assassinated, and several governors of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division were slow to rescue, which was far less powerful than the 'miscellaneous army' of Jinyiwei.

Today, because Commander Lu should become appropriate and heroic, Jinyiwei is only afraid that in the heart of Emperor Shenwu, he is no longer a meticulous work to inquire about the news, and his prestige and authority will be even better.

But......

Lu Tianyang: "At a young age, when you are in your prime and full of spirit, you always frown and sigh? ”

He couldn't see Ah Jiu's brows tightened, and he sighed for a long time.

"Isn't Uncle Lu afraid?"

"Huh?" Is she sighing for him? Worry?

"You are too good, it will inevitably arouse the envy of many people, not so much that Jinyiwei is famous, but that the fierceness is obvious, and the courtiers do not want Jinyiwei to be more and more valued by His Majesty. The heavier the authority of the Jinyi guard, the more uneasy the courtiers became. ”

Ah Jiu pointed out calmly and sharply, "Besides, Uncle Lu is so good today, it seems that he knew ...... in advance."

"Ah Jiu's niece."

Lu Tianyang stopped her from continuing, and was afraid that Ah Jiu would think too much, thinking that he didn't know the hearts of good people, and wanted to explain a sentence or two, Ah Jiu suddenly ran out and went straight to Mo Guanjie and Jiang who rushed over, "Dad, mother." ”

I saw her fly into Jiang's arms like a milk swallow.

Because of his back, Lu Tianyang couldn't see Ah Jiu's complexion, and he knew that she would raise her delicate little face - coquettish.

Smart, calm, and even ruthless little girl, Lu Tianyang has seen a lot, only Ah Jiu makes him feel sorry, he knows that it is not simply to repay the favor...... If it was just to repay the kindness, escort their family back to Beijing safely, and take care of Mo Guanjie in the edict, it would be enough to repay the kindness of the year.

At Fahua Temple, Ah Jiu found a doctor for him to detoxify...... Lu Tianyang muttered: "The previous grace is gone, and the new grace has been added, but it is still impossible not to take care of Ah Jiu...... Niece. ”

"Brother Lu Xian."

Mo Guanjie's face showed a little anxiety, and he thanked him first: "Ah Jiu has caused you trouble." ”

"Brother Mo is strict." Lu Tianyang said: "Ah Jiu's niece is very good in front of the saint, and the emperor will definitely have a reward in a while, if it weren't for her decisiveness, I would have to entangle with the assassin for a while." ”

Jiang Shi held Ah Jiu in his arms and looked at him with a wary gaze.

Sure enough, it is easy to marry Brother Mo, and it is very difficult to get Mrs. Jiang's approval, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

"I met Ah Jiu's niece in the night market, and I was worried that she would get lost alone, so I said a few more words to her, thinking of taking her to the first floor of the world to fight Brother Mo, but I didn't want to meet the assassin, Ah Jiu's niece was in danger, and it was not in the next place."

Lu Tianyang restrained his evil spirit and sincerely admitted his mistake, "I hope that Mrs. Jiang will forgive me for being reckless and putting Ah Jiu's niece in danger in the next moment." ”

Liu Tiecheng looked at the back and smacked his tongue secretly, when was Lord Lu so humble? I'm afraid that it's Mrs. Jiang...... How can there be a kind of flattery...... How does mother-in-law feel? No, I must have thought too much about myself, and my brain is not clear.

Miss Ah Jiu and Lord Lu?

How can it be?!

They are the most normal relationship between elders and juniors.

Jiang Shi smiled faintly: "I also want to thank Lord Lu, how can I blame you?" ”

The words were polite and the tone was kind, but Jiang Shi grabbed Ah Jiu tightly and blocked Ah Jiu with his body. Several times to let Ah Jiu meet with Commander Lu, Jiang was already very unhappy.

Even if it's a coincidence every time, the odds are too coincidental.

There were so many people in the night market, and Commander Lu was busy arranging escort matters, if he didn't do it on purpose, he wouldn't have been able to touch Ah Jiu at all.

Even if the Jiang family hesitated whether to marry Ah Jiu to his nephew, Commander Lu was definitely not in the category of Jiang's choice of son-in-law. Not to mention the age difference. is Lu Tianyang's background, qualifications, and the prospects of officialdom. None of them are the best candidates.

Others can't see it, but Jiang has a faint feeling that Lu Tianyang's care for Ah Jiu has a love for the younger generations that surpasses that of the elders.

Jiang is very concerned about Ah Jiu's marriage. Since last year, she has been working on preparations. Choosing a suitable family for Ah Jiu, and inquiring about the temperament of young talents, she has been Mo Guanjie's stepwife in her own life, although she has lived a very smooth life. But after all, there is a faint regret in my heart.

Therefore, she hopes that her only daughter, Ah Jiu, can have a better family than herself.

Mo Guanjie opened his mouth and asked, "I heard that someone knows that the assassin has gunpowder hidden on his body?" The situation was very dangerous? ”

"Dad, that person is Aunt Zhou." Ah Jiu poked his little head out from behind Jiang, and Mo Guanjie's face changed. Raised his forehead and moaned: "Aunt Zhou? Sure enough, it's her?! ”

"The strangest thing is that Aunt Zhou is holding a firearm, I think Xu was Fu Guogong who defended Aunt Zhou."

“……”

Mo Guanjie frowned. sighed for a long time: "What else do you know, say it together, I can stand it." ”

At this time, the Jiang family could no longer stop Ah Jiu.

Ah Jiu spoke quickly, "Aunt Zhou has been brought into the first floor of the world, and I will definitely ask her if I think I will come to Majesty." The second sister and the eighth sister should have successfully climbed the stairs, I don't know if they will still stay on the first floor of the world, if the two of them are here, maybe they can help Aunt Zhou explain a few words, I think Aunt Zhou seems to be frightened, the assassins are really a group of outlaws...... Fortunately, my father gave her a concubine book a few days ago. ”

The implication is that Mo Guanjie should not be implicated.

"Trouble, really trouble."

Mo Guanjie was annoyed with the hammer, "People sit at home, and disaster comes from heaven." Even if she is no longer the concubine of the Mo family, once she loses her temper in front of the king, the consequences are unpredictable. ”

He wanted to say that Ah Jiu should go to the first floor of the world at that time, but he didn't have the confidence to say it.

First, Ah Jiu didn't think about the Mo family, the emperor didn't say summons, Ah Jiu took the initiative to come over, but it would cause the emperor's disgust.

Second, even if Ah Jiu is on the first floor of the world, and the emperor asks Aunt Zhou, can Ah Jiu answer instead of her?

If one is not good, the entire Mo family will be implicated.

He is a dignified man, and throwing everything to his young daughter is not what he does as a father and the head of the family.

Mo Guanjie dusted his sleeves, "Madame, let's rest in the teahouse for a while, I'll go and ask to see Your Majesty." ”

"Sir, watch out."

Jiang nodded very knowingly, "Things outside, the concubine is not good to say, Xu is not as strict as the old man thinks." After all, Aunt Zhou is the beloved daughter of Fuguo Gong, and she is always a little knowledgeable. ”

Aunt Zhou is useless, if she doesn't fight for it, at least she won't take the initiative to cause trouble.

Mo Guanjie nodded, turned around and walked towards the first floor of the world, and Lu Tianyang followed, "Brother Mo, I'll go with you." ”

After the two left, Ah Jiu stood in front of Jiang well-behaved, shaking Jiang's arm with his hand, "Mother." ”

"What did you promise me?"

"Don't cause trouble, don't be in the limelight, don't run around."

Ah Jiu shook vigorously, his voice was extremely soft, and he defended: "Actually, I did it, but I ...... It's just that...... The assassin suddenly rushed over with gunpowder, I saw that the gunpowder on his body could at least blow up the first floor of the world, in case of explosion, it would affect me, and besides, I had the crossbow arrow given by Uncle Lu in my hand, I didn't think about it......"

The voice was very low, and Ah Jiu said: "Rescue, it's just self-help, self-help." ”

Jiang Shi sighed, touched Ah Jiu's forehead, and said distressedly, "I'm scared." ”

"It's fine."

Finally coaxed her mother to kiss her, Ah Jiu was very proud in her heart, leaned on Jiang's arms, and said softly: "Aunt Zhou didn't have the courage to save the driver, but she did know the news of the assassin, who did you say leaked it to her?" Our government is still not strict enough. ”

"I see." Jiang nodded.

Ah Jiu's eyes were dark, and there was a little more edge that he didn't have, "Besides...... This is a strange thing, and the assassin avenges the prince of Eastern Liao...... It's not so much revenge as they are sacrificing their lives. ”

"What?" Jiang Shi felt a little confused, "Sacrifice yourself to become a benevolent?!" ”

"Maybe I'm thinking too much, but the timing of the appearance of this group of assassins is too coincidental, if it weren't for Uncle Lu's presence, the rescue would have been the son of Chengguo, but Uncle Lu was working hard, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to catch up with the prince of Chengguo, because the county lord of Zhaohua was also there, and she was dissatisfied with Uncle Lu, and His Royal Highness the county lord really loved the prince of Chengguo."

The county lord of Zhaohua will arrange a good one qiē and take away part of Uncle Lu's credit for his son Xu is life.

If you don't get it right, maybe Uncle Lu will arouse the suspicion of Emperor Shenwu, after all, Uncle Lu's on-the-spot reaction is too timely and accurate.

If Emperor Shenwu believed that he had gotten the news in advance? If you use your majesty as a bait and intend to fight for the merit of saving the driver, Uncle Lu ...... And what to do?

Ah Jiu bit his lower lip, Uncle Lu shouldn't be so easy to be framed, he just reminded him, did he care?!

"The county lord of Zhaohua only has one son, although she didn't grow up by her side since she was a child, but she loves the mind of the prince, and it is the same as I love you, and even more than me."

Jiang took a sip of tea, "The world says that the county lord of Zhaohua is not talented enough and is not suitable to inherit the mantle of the eldest princess, but in fact, this is not the case, she is not willing to spend too much energy on other aspects, she is more willing to be a good wife and mother, and the same Chengguo Gongqin Se and Ming, and the children are filial." ”

An attendant came from outside the door, "The emperor has issued an edict to announce that Mo Guanjie's daughter, Mo Shi Yiyi, will meet you." ”

Jiang shook his wrist and signaled Ah Jiu to be careful, Ah Jiu nodded, the limelight that should not be out must not be out, my mother just wants her to be an ordinary little girl, not a talented girl who is tired of fame.
