Chapter 15: Behind the Truth
Pretending to sigh with emotion, Wu Zhenshan untied the pair of purple gold hammers on his waist, and he held the giant hammer and counted in a low voice: "One, one, three, four, five...... In addition to Princess Ning'er, there were thirty-six people at the scene, everyone, since you know everything you should know, then I will send you on the road now. ”
Seeing that Wu Zhenshan was going to kill people at this moment, Su Jing'an's face showed a trace of nervousness: "Wu Zhenshan, you are so bold, you dare to murder the princess of the royal family, this is a big crime of the Zhujiu clan, this official warns you, the governor knows that the official is investigating the case in Feifengling, if you dare to be presumptuous, the governor will not be able to spare you." ”
"Don't worry, I won't hurt the princess in the slightest, the princess is crazy like this, and I'm not worried that she will leak secrets, besides, she is unconscious now, even if she wakes up, she only remembers that Master Su sent someone to kidnap her, that's a good thing for me, and afterwards, I will blame Brother Su for all these crimes."
After casually saying this, Wu Zhenshan paused, and then continued: "Brother Su, Brother Ling, Master Pei, and all the government brothers, I can't help you, you have to go to the Yama Palace, rest assured, today in the coming year, I will send someone to burn more banknotes for you, everyone go all the way." ”
After the words fell, Wu Zhenshan was about to kill people, Su Jing'an didn't expect Wu Zhenshan to be so bold, he really dared to do it to himself, after being shocked, he ordered the four bodyguards around him to come forward and capture Wu Zhenshan, as the saying goes, capture the thief first capture the king, as long as the four of them can take Wu Zhenshan, they can resolve the current crisis.
But he underestimated Wu Zhenshan's martial arts, although the four masters beside Su Jing'an were not weak in martial arts, they were still a step behind Wu Zhenshan, and the four of them joined forces to fight Wu Zhenshan, but they couldn't support thirty rounds.
In a few breaths, all four of them were defeated, and they were all crippled by Wu Zhenshan. This side lost to Wu Zhenshan, and the officials next to him also suffered, although the martial arts of those soldiers were not as good as Wu Zhenshan, but they were all good hands.
In the blink of an eye, more than 30 officials led by Pei Guozhong died and were wounded, and there were only three or five of them left, according to this situation, it wouldn't be long before Wu Zhenshan and them could kill Ling Xia and the others.
"Brother Jing'an, it's time for you to hit the road!" With a sneer, Wu Zhenshan raised the purple gold hammer in his hand and smashed it towards Su Jing'an's head, if this hammer was smashed, Su Jing'an would definitely be smashed into meat sauce.
Looking at the oncoming giant hammer, Su Jing'an stood with his hands behind his back, closed his eyes lightly, and did not have the slightest intention of begging for mercy, although Su Jing'an was a scholar, but he was upright, and at the moment of life and death, he would rather be smashed into meat sauce than beg for mercy.
"Bang!"
"Bang dang!"
After a soft sound, there were two clanging sounds on the ground, Su Jing'an waited for a while, and he didn't see the giant hammer fall for a long time, and in confusion, he opened his eyes, and when he opened his eyes and saw the situation in front of him, Rao was calm and calm, and he was also stunned by the scene in front of him.
I saw Ling Xia stretch out his right hand, put his fingers together, and pose in a shape to refer to the sword, and opposite him, Wu Zhenshan's double hammer fell, his left hand supporting the horse's back, his right hand covering his chest, and blood flowing down his fingers.
At this moment, Wu Zhenshan looked at Ling Xia stupidly, with a look of disbelief on his face, he had just patronized Su Jing'an, and he didn't notice Ling Xia, he only saw Ling Xia shaking his hand, and then he was injured.
Wu Zhenshan had heard of Ling Xia's Heavenly Thunder Finger Divine Skill before, although he was a little curious, he didn't take it too seriously, but he didn't expect that Ling Xia would hurt himself as soon as he made a move, and even the armor on his body couldn't resist Ling Xia's finger power.
"This is ------ Pure Yang Heavenly Thunder Finger Divine Skill----- it can really hurt ------ people in the air, amazing!" After saying this, Wu Zhenshan spurted a mouthful of blood, and then, his body tilted, and he rolled to the ground with a bang.
Seeing that Ling Xia killed Wu Zhenshan with one move, Su Jing'an set off a storm in his heart, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never believe this kind of thing, the dignified general of the Battle Guard Army, a first-class master in the realm of internal force, couldn't stop Ling Xia's move.
Not only Su Jing'an was shocked, but all the people at the scene were also frightened, they looked at the ground one by one in amazement, looking at Wuzhen Mountain on the ground, and the battle guards on the scene lost their souls one by one.
The first general was dead, and the remaining soldiers suddenly lost their fighting spirit, and glanced at Ling Xia in horror, and then, they turned their horses' heads, and all of them fled on horseback, seeing that these people were about to escape, Su Jing'an was the first to come back to his senses, and he instructed Pei Guozhong to intercept those people along the road.
After Su Jing'an finished giving the order, Pei Guozhong immediately led the remaining three servants to carry out the order, and when they left, Su Jing'an took care of Ling Xia, and when he turned around, he saw Ling Xia squatting on the ground, making something from Wu Zhenshan's wound?
"What are you doing?" Su Jing'an looked at Ling Xia suspiciously.
"I'm helping him stop the bleeding." After saying this, seeing Su Jing'an showing a trace of puzzlement, Ling Xia told him that he had not injured Wu Zhenshan's fatal parts, although Wu Zhenshan's injuries were serious, but if he was treated in time and stopped bleeding, he could still recover.
Although Wu Zhenshan himself admitted the matter of arranging the Yin soldiers, Ling Xia had a feeling that Wu Zhenshan was only the executor of the plan, not the real mastermind, and there should be a mastermind behind him.
Why did Wu Zhenshan risk the destruction of the Nine Clans to kidnap the royal princess? Where did he get the guts to attack the Praetorian Guard? What's in it for him? Although the mystery of the Yin Soldier's borrowing has now been solved, this may be the beginning.
Wu Zhenshan arranged the Yin soldiers to attack the Praetorian Guards, and to put it bluntly, it was to rob Xia Ning'er, but what about after that? What will he do after he kidnaps Xia Ning'er? No one knows about this.
The plan to kidnap the princess failed this time, and the other party will definitely have the next move, if you want to uncover this conspiracy, you can only start with Wu Zhenshan, so you can't let Wu Zhenshan die no matter what.
After listening to Ling Xia's analysis, Su Jing'an nodded in agreement, when Ling Xia helped Wu Zhenshan bandage his wounds, Su Jing'an was also pondering, and after a while, Ling Xia completed the work at hand and finally saved Wu Zhenshan's life.
Seeing that Ling Xia was done, Su Jing'an called him aside, hesitated for a moment, he took out a palm-sized, silver and numbered sign from his sleeve, handed the sign to Ling Xia, Su Jing'an said in a deep voice:
"The official also thinks this matter is quite strange, I don't know why? The official has a vague feeling that there is a bigger conspiracy hidden behind this matter, and according to Wu Zhenshan's identity, I suspect that all this should be related to the military general's forces.
What I said at this time is my true thoughts, and it does not involve the interests of the civilian clique, nor does I have the intention of belittling the military generals.
Brother Ling, your mind is the smartest I have ever seen, and it only took you one day to crack the conspiracy of the Yin soldiers and thwart Wu Zhenshan's trick to kidnap the princess, which is absolutely beyond the reach of people.
Brother Ling, this official wants to ask you to do me a favor, of course, it is not so much to help me, but to help Princess Ning'er, through Wu Zhenshan's actions, I suspect that some people in the military general's forces are carrying out some kind of conspiracy.
I hope you can sneak into the barracks and investigate this matter from within the barracks, Wu Zhenshan's operation failed, and the imperial court will definitely vigorously investigate, in my judgment, under this high-pressure formation, the other party will definitely hide for the time being, and will not dare to make a random move in a short time.
And this period of time is an excellent time for you to infiltrate their interior, with your ability, plus my cooperation in secret, it is estimated that it will not take five years for you to be promoted to the rank of the seventh rank, whether it is a general commander or a commander, this should be able to reach those people. ”
"To be a soldier? I? To be honest, Ling Xia was not interested in being a soldier at all, however, he was interested in solving the case, Ling Xia wanted to know the secrets hidden behind the Yin soldiers' passages, and wanted to solve these puzzles himself, so he was very moved by Su Jing'an's proposal.
After thinking for a while, he said slowly: "Actually, it's not impossible to be a soldier, but the question is how do I enter the barracks?" You can't just walk in with such a swagger, can you? Also, with such an army as the imperial court, which barracks should I go to infiltrate? ”。
"Wu Zhenshan is the general of the Battle Guard, and now he has an accident, so of course you have infiltrated the Battle Guard Army of Zhongmiao Province." Seeing that Ling Xia agreed to his proposal, Su Jing'an's face showed a hint of relief.
After speaking, Su Jing'an shook the silver medal in his hand: "This is an identity card of a person who has passed the martial arts entrance examination, and I, as the invigilator of this government examination, can naturally help you cheat and pass the government examination."
You put away this silver medal, tomorrow evening, you will follow those students to the provincial capital, after you go back, I will take the opportunity to review the county examination file, add your name from it, and after that, I will write your name on the government examination file.
In this way, you have a qualified identity, even if the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War investigates afterwards, they will not find out the clues, after entering the provincial capital, you settle down by yourself, rest for three days, and the governor's yamen will hold a provincial test for martial artists in the "Yangwutai".
At that time, you can just take this silver medal to participate in the provincial examination, although you are strong in martial arts, but I suggest that you keep a low profile and deliberately lose the game in the end, because you don't need to go to the imperial capital to participate in the palace examination, so the ranking is not important to you.
According to the regulations, even the last place in the provincial test will be placed and accepted by the army, and after you enter the army, you can only rely on your own wisdom and talent to play on the spot, and the military camp is the territory of the military generals, and we civilian officials can't reach out at all.
Brother Ling, this matter is only known to you and me, once you find out the clues, you can report to me at any time, in addition, please rest assured, I will do a good job of confidentiality, and will never reveal your identity and whereabouts, what you do, I will personally report to the saint, after the matter is completed, this official on behalf of the court will promise you a lifetime of glory, three generations of wealth. ”
