Chapter 20: Murderous Opportunities
The order to order the Great Wei Jiashi to rush over and kill people, Nangong did not say it in the end. It's one thing to bluff verbal provocations, but to do a blatant massacre near Los Angeles would be a blatant rebellion. Especially when the royal brother Zimmer has already made his attitude clear, if he still does this, it will be counterproductive, not only will it fail to achieve its goal, but it is also likely to cause dissatisfaction and public indignation among others. After all, the current Zhou royal family is still the orthodoxy that everyone supports on the surface.
In such a situation, even if he didn't have to look at his uncle Shen's anxious gestures, Nangong knew what to do. It's just that...... He stared at Chu Jiangmian a few feet away viciously, if he let him go like this, he would always feel unwilling!
"Everyone is here to celebrate the birthday of the Son of Heaven, and it is rare to get together. Everything is precious, so why bother to draw the sword against each other for the sake of a war of words? Hehe! Mo Gong can't be partial! We also want to take a sip of the royal wine. ”
Someone came out first to break the deadlock. Many people know this Lanling Jun from the East China Sea. As one of the famous "Four Great Princes", representing the powerful Qi State, his status can be described as extremely precious, and his influence is not inferior to any of the princes and kings present.
"The wine of the Great Zhou royal family, of course, has a cup of Qi State. Lan Lingjun, please drink full! ”
Ji Mo quietly looked at Lan Lingjun, who was taking the cup in his hand, and drank it all, and a smile appeared on his face. The performance of Qi Guoren was somewhat unexpected to him. But I didn't expect that I would get their support first.
It's just that Ji Mo didn't notice that after drinking the wine in the cup, Lan Lingjun, when he covered his sleeves, turned around and whispered to Chu Jiangmian, who was close at hand.
"The wine of the royal family is far worse than that given by Prince Jiang Mian. Hehe! ”
The smile on Chu Jiangmian's face remained unchanged, but it was inconvenient to say more. He nodded to Lan Lingjun, indicating that he had already understood his affection. However, no matter how smart he is, how can he understand the ups and downs in Lan Lingjun's heart at the moment?
"The actions of King Zhao's father and son are really admirable...... Is it right or wrong to be an enemy of them? ”
After Lanlingjun, King Wu, King Yue, King Wei and others who came to Zhongyue Mountain to participate in hunting activities also spoke out one after another to persuade them. Zimmer laughed, looked at Nangong and said.
"Prince Nangong has the strength to kill bears, and his courage is commendable. It's just this amount of alcohol...... I still need to exercise a lot! Ha ha! ”
"Well, Prince Ben doesn't drink much. What's more, Mo Gong gave wine, and he didn't dare not drink it...... In this scene, wine is not intoxicating, and people are also drunk! ”
Nangong borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and waved his hand behind him. After receiving the order, the armor soldiers gathered their swords and bound their armor, and they all retreated far away. Shen's father finally breathed a sigh of relief. He has always advised the father and son of King Wei not to be too ostentatious in the current situation, and should develop their strength in a subtle way, and pay close attention to the general trend of the world, which is the king's way. However, the word is contrary to the ear. Under the expansion of ambition, whether it is King Wei or Nangong And, they are rarely able to listen. It made him feel helpless.
Fortunately, this time there was no trouble on the spot. Father Shen looked up at the young man who was standing side by side with his brother Ji Mo not far away. His brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but re-weigh this person's weight in his heart. Is his behavior today, just reckless? Or is it intentional......? It's important to distinguish the difference!
A storm did not start, and it soon calmed down. On the hunting grounds of Nakatake Mountain, the original lively atmosphere has been restored. Although some killer machines are already lurking in the shadows, many people, including Zimmer, do not think that anything else will happen.
It is not the first time that the authority of the Zhou royal family has been provoked. If compared to the incident when the Qin State directly sent troops to marry the princess a few years ago, Nangong He's rude attitude today is nothing. All the princes in the world have ill intentions, how many are there who are truly loyal to the royal family?
Ji Mo, who remained calm on the surface, sighed, and his heart was suddenly sad. He suddenly felt that the importance of maintaining the royal power seemed to become unattainable in his heart.
"Nephew Jiang Mianxian, thank you for your support! The loyalty of your father and son, the royal family will always remember. ”
"Mo Gong doesn't have to say such a thing. I just can't get used to the arrogance of some guys. Hehe! If nothing else, I'm going to hunt a few birds deep in the woods. ”
"Go ahead! Young people don't have to stay with me, an old man, and don't have to be restrained. ”
Zimmer, who was already unusually old in his fifties, sighed inexplicably as he watched the young man in white and his guards gradually walk away. It's good to be young! You can laugh and scold freely, and your words and deeds are free and uninhibited. Where is a person like himself, guarding this gradually disappearing country for the royal family, obviously powerless, but still trying his best to redeem it...... Who can understand that his independently supported body has already been riddled with holes and is overwhelmed!
In the mighty spring breeze, Ji Mo was not the only one staring at Chu Jiangmian's figure. There were also several pairs of eyes watching him firmly. It's just that what is revealed in these eyes is not relief and hope, but hatred, and cold murder!
"Peerless Prince, what you said earlier is right. Chu Jiangmian ...... He must not be allowed to get out of Zhongyue Mountain alive! ”
Nangong And, who had already moved his murderous intent, was resolute and cold when he came out of his mouth. In the old days, as long as the person who angered him, no matter what his identity, they had only one fate, and that was death!
Nie Wushuang, who didn't know when he walked to his side, had a flash of light in his eyes, and he was secretly happy in his heart. He originally wanted to deliberately create some opportunities to make this unruly Prince Wei and Chu Jiangmian have a "spark", but he didn't expect that the two of them had already created a surprise without having to do it themselves. God helps!
In this case, adding fuel to the fire and adding fuel to the fire, as the descendant of the Qishan Ancestor Shenji, how can he hesitate!
"I have long said that this Zhao Guojun is not as simple as it seems. However, it is not too late for Brother Nangong to realize this now. If you feel that it is difficult to do this, all the forces that Xi Qin and I have arranged in Zhongzhou are willing to help! ”
"Not necessarily! Are the three hundred Wei Jiashi I brought with me all vegetarians? The unequaled son might as well open his eyes and take a good look, this Zhongyue Mountain is the burial place of Chu Jiangmian! ”
Nangong regained his arrogance. Although it is inconvenient to do anything against the Zhou royal family now, he has absolute certainty and confidence in dealing with a mere Zhao Guojunzi. There are 300 Great Wei armor soldiers, all of whom are battle-hardened warriors, and the King of Wei let him take them with him for the sake of his safety. Although the number of three hundred is small, in this Zhongyue Mountain, to kill a few Zhao people around Chu Jiangmian is like killing a chicken with a cattle slaughtering knife, which is more than enough!
Nangong took his subordinates violently and re-entered the vast hunting ground. However, from now on, the target of his hunt is no longer birds and animals, but people!
"Young master, this trick is good to kill people with a knife! However, can he kill Chu Jiangmian? The last time we missed, our subordinates deduced that he had a master around him to protect him. Although the armor of the Wei State is powerful, I'm afraid it's not so easy to kill him! ”
The figure wearing a ghost skin mask walked up to Nie Wushuang and reminded him in a low voice. The young master of Xiqin smiled coldly.
"Wouldn't it be boring if it was too easy to kill? It's best if the two sides are evenly matched, and it's better to fight to the death! But just in case, General Yamagu, you can gather all of our people and wait for orders at any time. If Nangong does it and gets in the way, we will help each other in secret. But you have to remember one thing, no matter what, try to let Chu Jiangmian die at the hands of the Wei people. Do you understand? ”
"Yes! The subordinates will arrange it. Young master, rest assured, I know what to do. ”
Nie Wushuang nodded. He can still trust the ability of the mountain ghost. This person has never shown his true face, but he is extremely powerful, and he is a figure personally collected by Nie Feng, the king of Qin. With his help in secret, no matter how powerful the people of Zhao are, they will not be able to escape this catastrophe.
"Chu Jiangmian, you didn't expect to die here, did you? If the king's qi that rises from the north disappears in the depths of Nakatake Mountain...... When I go back, what reward will my father and master give? Ha ha! ”
Thinking of the pride, even if he has always been good at withholding emotions, he can't help but feel a little excited.
And at this moment, Chu Jiangmian, who was concentrating on aiming at a colorful bird with a bow and arrow, did not expect that the invisible killing machine was approaching step by step from all directions.
The weather is just warm, and the wind in the mountains is still slightly cold. There were fine beads of sweat on Chu Jiangmian's forehead. He ran from the valley to this side, and shot several feathered arrows, but not even a single feather of the big pheasant was missed. This had to make him feel very ashamed.
It is rare to see such a big pheasant. It was Chu Jiangxue who first discovered it. She fell in love with the bright and beautiful feathers at a glance. Since Xue'er likes it the most, there is no need to say anything, no matter what the price is, as an elder brother, he must also catch it with his own hands.
For this reason, Chu Jiangmian refused the guard Zheng Qi's request for help, and directly asked him to stay with Lao Ji in the shade of the tree. What are you kidding, you still need your help to catch such a pheasant? Let's watch Prince Ben show off his heroic appearance in front of Cher!
However, after nearly half an hour, he began to regret it. Is it this pheasant who has become fine and too cunning? Or is your archery skills too bad? When another feathered arrow flew out into the air, looking at the wild pheasant that flew to the higher trunk of the tree as if with a disdainful attitude, Chu Jiangmian grinded his teeth. Looking back at the guards and coachmen who pretended to be watching the scenery, he was about to say something. But suddenly I heard the girl who had been waiting for a long time shouting anxiously.
"Brother Jiang Mian, are you fast...... It flew deep into the woods! ”
