Chapter 27: Suspicions
"Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that this time I came, I just wanted Xue Jinian's dog's life, and it has nothing to do with your Jinyiwei."
Although with Xue Jinian's attributes, there are too many people in the world who want him to die, including Jiang Lu himself, but when he thought of his responsibility, Jiang Lu still replied coldly: "I'm sorry, Jiang Mou's responsibility lies." ”
Xue Jinian could die, but not in front of his eyes.
"I know you want him dead too."
That's right, but if he really lets it go, it will be a crime of unfavorable protection, and after returning to Beijing, he will be severely punished.
Besides, the princess is still inside, it doesn't hurt to die for a Xue Ji Nian, in case the princess is also implicated, he Jiang Lu is not enough to die 10,000 times.
Jiang Lu frowned, glared at the other party fiercely, and his mind was spinning rapidly. Wang Cheng suddenly leaned into his ear: "Big brother, I don't think something is right." ”
"What?" Jiang Lu tilted his head slightly and asked in a low voice.
"I look at the other party's martial arts path, it seems to be from Ouchi."
Jiang Lu's pupils shrank sharply, and his gaze quickly swept over Wang Cheng's face, and then fell on the dozen or so people opposite.
In fact, he had already found out, but he had doubts in his heart and didn't dare to confirm it. It is precisely because of this that in the process of fighting, he has a lot of scruples, and he doesn't know how to deal with it for a while.
It was dark all around, except for the occasional jumping fire in the temple. Outside the temple gate was originally a piece of dry grass, but after a fight between the two sides, it was already a mess.
Jiang Lu tightened the embroidered spring knife in his hand, his expression became even more solemn, but he said: "Dongchang and Jinyiwei have always been in the same spirit, and now Jiang Mou is ordered by His Majesty to assist the Admiral to escort the princess back to Beijing, and it is impossible to do anything to hurt the princess." On weekdays, even he himself would laugh off his big teeth.
But at the moment, no one doubts the truth of these words.
When the words fell, Jiang Lu's figure flickered, like a harrier in the dark night rushing towards the other party, and the embroidered spring knife flashed a stunning light in the dark night, revealing a fierce killing intent.
Hua Qian could hear the fighting outside the temple clearly, but seeing that Xue Jinian looked like she had nothing to do with him, she opened her mouth and didn't say anything.
Time seemed to stand still, and after a long time, it finally fell silent outside.
The door of the temple was pushed open, and the cold that was brought into the room, Jiang Lu walked in alone with the embroidered spring knife in his hand.
"Humble Jiang Law, see my lord."
Xue Jinian still had that shallow appearance, and he opened his mouth with a gentle smile: "Hard work Jiang Qianhu." ”
"Don't dare to be, the thieves have all been stopped by the brocade guards." Jiang Lu arched his hand and said: "It's just that I think that the other party will not give up and will definitely make a comeback." ”
"Oh, what do you think?"
"This place is only more than 200 miles away from Nanling, and I am willing to go there in person and transfer the local guard to assist."
Xue Jinian squinted slightly, Jiang Lu stood in front of him with his fists clenched and his head bowed, unable to see his expression clearly.
"That's fine."
"The other side suffered a lot of casualties tonight, and I don't think it will be easy to do it again. If you have nothing else to do, you will set out so that you may return as soon as possible. ”
"Okay, you go down."
"Retire from your duties." Jiang Lu was also very neat, and quickly exited the courtyard gate after retreating.
Before he got out of the courtyard, he heard Xue Jinian say, "Wait a minute." ”
Jiang Lu paused, he lowered his head and frowned, but still turned around: "What else does the lord command?" ”
"Although it is only more than 100 miles to Nanling, I am afraid that it is not appropriate for you to go alone, so you should pick a few more people to bring with you."
Jiang Lu was stunned.
Xue Jinian smiled slightly: "Qianhu is right, there are Jinyi guards here, if you want to come in a short time, the thieves will not dare to come easily, it doesn't matter if we wait here, but Qianhu is going to move the rescuers, if you can't even take care of your own safety, how can you protect the governor and the princess." ”
What did this mean when it fell on Jiang Lu's ears, Hua Qian couldn't imagine it for the time being, but in her ears, Xue Jinian almost pointed at Jiang Lu's nose and said: Hurry up and take your people to get out, labor and management don't need your protection here.
She stared at Xue Jinian with a tangled expression, this eunuch has something wrong with his brain, someone just saved you once, even if you don't admit it again, you can leave other people's soldiers behind. With so many people around us, how do we get to Beijing?
She really wanted to step forward and choke Xue Jinian twice: If you want to keep it yourself, can the old lady follow Jiang Qianhu?
However, her own people were small, looking at the exchange between Xue Jinian and Jiang Lu, she held back for a while, and she didn't dare to step forward to talk.
Regarding Xue Jinian's proposal, Jiang Lu did not refute it. Since it was proposed by the Admiral himself, if he really falls into the charge of protecting the lord in the future, he will have something to say.
As a subordinate, he acted on orders, and he thought that Lord Shen would definitely be able to exonerate him.
It would be best if his brother could take him away, he knew in his heart that if he stayed, he would die sooner or later.
He bowed his hand to Xue Jinian and left quickly.
Hua Qian looked at most of the people who left at once, not to mention how worried she was.
