Chapter 35: Those who love live and those who hate die
Chu Jiangxue, who had been crying all night, when she finally saw her brother's figure again, she couldn't control her emotions no matter what, ran over and threw herself into his arms, crying loudly.
"Brother Jiang Mian, I thought I would never see you again...... Woooooo β
This moment touched the wound again, and Chu Jiangmian grinned and endured. He reached out and caressed her back and comforted her for a few words.
"Where will it be...... Am I not coming back? Cher doesn't cry. I'm relieved to see that you're safe and sound. β
They met on the way back. Of course, the people who came to find Chu Jiangmian were not only Jiang Xue'er and Lao Ji who followed behind, but also hundreds of Janissaries in Los Angeles, as well as Zidun, the general who commanded them.
When Chu Jiangmian looked up at Lao Ji, he saw that he only smiled faintly at himself. The sword was casually fastened to his belt, as if it had never been unsheathed. He waved his hand gratefully at him, and it was all in silence.
General Zidun obviously had a deep impression of Chu Jiangmian. This general, who was loyal to the Zhou royal family, strode over and greeted Chu Jiangmian, showing a very happy expression.
"Prince Jiang Mian, the last general is ordered by Duke Mo to come to find the whereabouts of the prince. From last night to now, it has been nowhere to be seen, and I am very anxious. Well, now, fortunately, the prince is safe. The last general can also make a difference! β
Chu Jiangmian didn't know what was going on. But seeing that the royal brother Zimmer actually sent so many people to find him, of course this affection must be received.
"Thank you for your hard work, General Zidun! Mo Gong's kindness, wait for me to go back, and then thank you in person. β
Zidun looked him up and down a few times and frowned. He lowered his voice and asked again.
"Is the prince hurt? Is there a big deal? Do you need us to go back to Los Angeles right away......? β
"No need. It's just a flesh wound, and it doesn't hinder it. β
Hearing the answer between the two of them, Chu Jiangxue was shocked to realize that his brother was injured. She was so emotional just now, but she didn't have time to find out. Hurriedly asked.
"Brother Jiang Mian! Where are you hurt? Show me...... Those bad guys are so hateful! Theyβthey're so bad. β
Although the girl was full of anger, she did not know what words to use to express it. He could only hug Chu Jiangmian's arm tightly, wanting to see his injury.
"Prince Jiang Mian, are you sure that the people of Wei did this matter?"
Zidun held the knife in his hand and asked again. He didn't expect that the armor soldiers of the Wei State would be so bold that they would dare to openly kill people in Zhongyue Mountain. When he heard the girl come to Zimmer for help, he was still a little unconvinced. But now that he saw the injured Chu Jiangmian with his own eyes, he was already convinced. Thinking back to the arrogance of Nangong He, the prince of Wei yesterday, he couldn't help gritting his teeth, and wanted to find an opportunity to teach these Wei people a good lesson.
Unexpectedly, Chu Jiangmian shook his head with a smile and gave a negative answer.
"General Zidun, don't think about it. Yesterday was in a hurry, and it was good to be able to save his life at the moment of life and death. I don't know where those Assassins came from. Maybe it's just some bandits in the mountains, but I don't know. β
Zidun was stunned, but did not continue to ask. Although he really wanted to use this matter to trouble the Wei people, since Chu Jiangmian said this, it was inconvenient for him to say anything. The order given to him by Brother Wang Ji Mo was to make sure that Chu Jiangmian was found by any means. Now that the task is complete, you can go back to the errand.
Lao Ji didn't speak. In the eyes of all outsiders now, he is just an ordinary coachman. Hearing Chu Jiangmian's answer, the corners of his eyes moved, and there seemed to be a light passing by. From the moment he found out that the guard Zheng Qi was not following behind the little prince, he knew that the blood debt owed by some people was destined to die.
"They...... Who is it? β
Jiang Xue'er finally found the two strangers who came with Chu Jiangmian. She glanced at it a few times, and immediately noticed that there was something unusual. The thick-looking young man only glanced at it, and more attention was focused on the woman who was wearing a cloth dress and a hairpin skirt, but it was difficult to hide her elegance.
In fact, the woman named Murong Qiancheng was only four or five years older than Jiang Xue'er. But at this moment, perhaps it was a special sensitivity of a girl's family, and Jiang Xue'er instinctively felt that this matter was by no means so simple.
"They...... It's the Murong sisters and brothers. Thanks to their rescue and care last night, I was able to stand in front of you intact. β
Sensing the suspicious look in the girl's eyes, Chu Jiangmian scratched his head and hurriedly explained. The girl immediately smiled, she suddenly grabbed Qiancheng's hand, the tears on her face were still there, but her expression was very vivid.
"Little sister, thank you for saving Brother Jiang Mian! Cher must reward you well. β
Murong Qiancheng saw that it was a lively and lovely girl, and she also had a smile on her face. A moment ago, seeing the intimate relationship between this girl and Chu Jiangmian, she had already guessed a thing or two. At this time, there is no doubt.
"It turned out to be Miss Cher. No thanks, I will need your care in the future. β
"What do you mean by that, young lady? Is it ......? β
"It's easy! We're going to follow this guy in the near future...... Oh, it's Prince Jiang Mian...... I went to Zhao Kingdom. Hehe! β
"Wow! That's great. With such a beautiful young lady following, Brother Jiang Mian ...... Hee-hee! β
Although the voices of the two people talking were very low, I believe that Chu Jiangmian, who was close at hand, would definitely be able to hear it. Murong Qiancheng felt that his face was a little hot. She didn't expect this flawless-looking girl to speak so carelessly. Even if she is not a twisted woman like the world, she can't hold her face a little.
"Cher, don't talk nonsense. Qiancheng and Xiaoli just went to Zhao Country as guests, and nothing else. β
Chu Jiangmian secretly couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly reminded his sister. Their brothers and sisters are used to laughing and joking with each other, but it is inconvenient to be so casual in front of outsiders. Jiang Xue'er pouted. She thought that she had already seen everything, so she wouldn't believe Jiang Mian's words.
"Humph! Did I say anything? It's clearly your own weak heart...... A thousand cities? Such a nice name. Is Brother Jiang Mian already so good? β
Protected by hundreds of Janissaries, they began to walk back. The girl named Chu Jiangxue muttered quietly. Now that her brother had been found, she was afraid of worrying all night, and finally completely relaxed. In its place, there is a heart full of gossip.
Chu Jiangmian couldn't cry or laugh. After agreeing to Murong Qiancheng's request, he had a premonition that there would be a lot of trouble. Unexpectedly, the first thing that gave him a headache was Xiaomei's level. casually said a few perfunctory words at the moment, but Jiang Xue'er still wanted to break the casserole and ask to the end. Chu Jiangmian simply frowned, making a look of unbearable pain from the wound. This trick really worked, and the curious girl immediately closed her mouth.
"Cher, his injuries are still very serious. After going back, you still need to recuperate. β
Hearing the voice beside her, Chu Jiangxue immediately turned around, grabbed Murong Qiancheng's hand again, and nodded again and again.
"Uh-huh! I know...... Thank you Sister Qiancheng for your concern! I'm thanking him for it. Little sister, your name is so nice! β
"Cher, your name is good. Hehe! β
"That'...... Sister Qiancheng, tell me what happened last night. Good no good? β
"Okay. In fact, it was Xiaoli who saved him ....... β
The girl who was just starting to bloom with cardamom and the woman who was about to leave the age of a girl whispered, and after a while, they talked very speculatively.
"Little prince, return this sword to you."
The neighing of horses could already be heard not far ahead. Turning around the mountain, it should be the place where the hunters and horses of the brigade are temporarily stationed and resting. When Lao Ji handed over the long sword with a calm expression, Chu Jiangmian took it casually. He was finally able to speak to the former hunchback driver.
"Thank you!"
"It's not worth anything...... A jug of wine! β
Lao Ji still looks very obscene. He smacked his lips, he hadn't bothered to drink since yesterday, and he was really a little panicked.
"It's a small thing. From now on, the wine tube is enough! β
"The little prince is not allowed to regret it!"
"If you say a word, the horse is hard to chase!"
"Good! This time the old season made a lot of money...... Ha ha! β
Between a few sentences, it was an understatement, just like they usually are. But Chu Jiangmian knew very well in his heart what kind of thrilling iron-blooded battle the sword that Lao Ji handed over from yesterday to now!
"However, did the little prince really decide to solve this matter by himself?"
"Zheng Qi's hatred, I want them to repay it a hundred times!"
"Actually, it is the safest to wait until you return to Zhao to find a way to take revenge."
"I can't wait that long...... Zheng Qi: He must not want to wait that long. β
"Good! Since the little prince has decided, let's do it. β
The hunchbacked old Ji lowered his head, and no one could see the light in his eyes. No one knew the admiration in his heart: "If Chu Lie has a son, it is enough to have no regrets!" It can be expected that he will be a hero in the world, and Jiang Mian should be the leader! β
He looked back at the young man who was following Chu Jiangmian again. It is very gratifying that the prince can get the help of such a character.
Soon after, the group turned the hill and sure enough, there was a flat camp in front of them. What Chu Jiangmian didn't expect was that Ji Mo, the younger brother of the king, who had been notified in advance, was waiting for him early.
"Jiang Mianxian's nephew, such an accident is the fault of the old man! Fortunately, you are finally back, otherwise, the old man is really ashamed of King Zhao! β
Ji Mo held Chu Jiangmian's hand tightly, and the concern on his face was heartfelt. Chu Jiangmian hurriedly thanked him. Leaning slightly, when he raised his head, the corner of his eye swept over, but he inadvertently found a hateful gaze staring at him firmly in the distance.
