The next day, after Jiang Long inquired, he learned the cause.

Jing Chengxiong died of a serious illness in southern Xinjiang that year, but when Mrs. Jing rushed over from Ningyuan County, the * general in the army said that Jing Chengxiong's body had been cremated. And it shows that there are many local officials who can testify that Jing Chengxiong died of illness.

The weather in the south is hot, and the corpse will not be left for a day before it has to be buried immediately.

And these generals dragged on for three days in order to wait for Mrs. Jing to arrive.

After three days, the corpse is rotten and stench, and it will definitely not work without cremation.

So Mrs. Jing didn't see her husband's body back then. After that, the black-clothed guards in the mansion were still operating as usual, and Old Madam Jing was somewhat suspicious. Jing Xian was killed on the battlefield back then, but no one found Jing Xian's body, and no one picked up the Purple Gold Disc Dragon Lance, a divine weapon in Jing Xian's hand.

At that time, the imperial court doubted whether Jing Xian was not dead.

The old emperor sent people to visit and investigate, and as a result, there were countless versions of Jing Xian's death, among which the storyteller made great efforts to slowly deify Jing Xian. said that Jing Xian was the star king of the sky, who came down to save the people of Northern Xinjiang.

After that, the old emperor saw that it was not good, and no longer investigated, and strictly ordered local officials to smear Jingxian's image.

Although Jing Xian finally won the war with the imperial reinforcements, and hundreds of thousands of foreign soldiers died on the battlefield, he did order his subordinates to cut off the heads of 10,000 ordinary people, which would be a stain on his life.

This stain is very big, especially in the eyes of those sour and rotten civil officials, it is even more rebellious.

Otherwise, the old emperor will not have the opportunity to take off the title of Jingfu in the future, and then issue a gold medal to compensate for avoiding death.

And the deaths of Jing Chengxiong and Jing Xian were all arranged in advance.

The old emperor has been vigilant about the Jing Mansion, although the potential power of the Jing family is not small, but before Jiang Long made the bomb, the Jing family was not capable of arguing with the old emperor head-on, at most they would do something to give the emperor a headache.

The reason why the emperor did not dare to attack the Jing family before was that he was worried that there would be other factions in the court and the Jing Mansion to jointly rebel.

If you dare to take down the Jing family, the other forces will definitely be careful, will you be the next to take me under the knife?

The more downtrodden the Ming face of the prospect mansion where Jiang Long did not come here, the better, Jing Chengxiong and Jing Xian are both great talents, the two of them are alive, standing in the bright place, then the prestige of the Jing family will continue to rise. When it reaches a certain level, even if the old emperor is worried, he has to take Jingfu under the knife.

It wasn't until Jiang Long made a bomb and blew King Huai to death that it really made the old emperor dare not act rashly.

After Jiang Long was sent to Lingtong County, Mrs. Jing killed a prince with a bomb, which made the old emperor even more jealous. At this time, the old emperor didn't dare to do anything with the Jing family at will, otherwise the Jing Mansion would put a few more cannons in the capital, either to bomb the people in the royal family, or to bomb the minister of civil and military affairs, and it would be chaotic.

This is also the reason why until now, the emperor has not attacked Jingfu.

The prince wanted to be angry, but was stopped by the emperor.

Who knows how many dark pile eyeliners the Jing family has planted in the capital?

Just send a few dead soldiers, and you can exchange a few civil and military ministers, or people from the royal family.

It's good that it didn't happen, but if it did, wouldn't it be a panic for the people.

The family sat in the house and talked and laughed.

On the steppe, two princes died one after another.

The first is the western flail, when he was shot off the horse, seriously injured, returned to his tribe, because of his noble status, so he got the best treatment, but it only dragged on for half a month.

The second is Hu Chige, when Jiang Long first arrived in Lingtong County, the identity spread out, Hu Chige wanted to kill Jiang Long to take the opportunity to erect prestige on the prairie, and brought a thousand people to attack, but his warrior Niwang died under Fan Ren's arrows, then he himself was designed to be ambushed, and finally fled back to the tribe with only a few people.

Hu Chige regarded this battle as a shame for his life, and made up his mind to take revenge in the future.

In the previous battle, Hu Chige had never known who led the army on the other side, and when he fled, he was shot in the back, but it was not fatal. It wasn't until later that when he heard that he was still defeated in the hands of Jiang Long, he was furious, and as a result, the gun sores burst and died.

The musket, a fresh weapon, was also transmitted to the prairie.

All nomadic tribes are terrified.

If it is true as the rumors say, in the future, Daqi will ease up and meet them, won't they be forced to leave the prairie? And without the prairie, where can they survive in the future? Do you flee further west?

If there is only one thing to rely on, it is that the steppe is vast and vast, if you are not familiar with the road, you will lose your way after entering, and the nomads have no fixed residence, so it is difficult for the Daqi army to find them after entering the grassland.

The appearance of muskets frightened the courage of the aliens.

Jiang Long's side no longer has to worry about an invasion by an alien army.

The river in Lingtong County is still being excavated, and the wilderness is still being reclaimed. Not long after Jing Chengxiong and Jing Xian arrived, the Jing family came one after another.

These Jing clansmen and Jing Chengxiong are in the same line.

It is not the same thing as the Jing family who came to Jingfu before and wanted to let Mrs. Jing pass on her stepchildren.

There are more than 120 people in total, old and young, large and small.

Among them, there are more than a dozen of them of the same generation as Jing Chengxiong.

When Jiang Long met with these dozen people, he had to call grandpa. And after coming into contact with it, Jiang Long also discovered the problem instantly. Like all big families, the Jing family also has infighting. Before it happens, quite a crack has begun to appear.

Each of them recruited his subordinates and formed a faction, if he really won the Zhao family one day, I don't know how these people would fight.

So Jiang Long took out a map in front of everyone.

The map was found from Mike, and it was marked with dozens of countries, large and small, as well as endless prairies and vast oceans. Jiang Long showed everyone and pointed to explain them one by one, telling these people that there is a sky outside the sky.

Daqi is not the only military power.

It is not only Daqi that has a pleasant climate and can grow food.

Seeing the map and listening to the explanation, these Jing clan people were all surprised.

Originally, they thought that they would win the Great Qi River, and the next thing was to share the harvest according to their abilities, but they didn't want to have a bigger territory outside. When they learned that Daqi Jiangshan was not the only one, these people calmed down, so many territories and so many countries, and everyone gained something on average.

After solving the problem of infighting, the troops who came to encircle and suppress Daqi also came.

The Great Qi army was divided into four routes, one of which was led by Mu Wuhou, with 50,000 soldiers and horses.

In the big tent, Mu Wuhou stared coldly at the woman in front of him.

The woman was none other than his wife, Lady Butterfly.

Not long ago, the eldest prince, instigated by Mrs. Diexiang, actually rebelled, but after the defeat, he was not caught by the old emperor and the prince, and fled with the remnants of the army. The old emperor was furious and wanted to Ling Chi Diexiang, but Mu Wuhou, who wanted to take revenge because Mrs. Diexiang was insulted and beaten by the eldest prince before, stepped forward and saved his wife from the hands of the old emperor.

The reason is very simple, Mrs. Diexiang and Jiang Long often correspond, and the two have adultery.

This time, he was ordered to go to the expedition of Muwu Marquis without confidence, because the rumored musket was too terrible. It is precisely because of the lack of self-confidence that he has to pinch Mrs. Diexiang as a shield in his hand, or on the battlefield, use Mrs. Diexiang to threaten Jianglong.

Since Mrs. Diexiang was controlled, her face was blank and she didn't react at all.

"If he really likes you, he will tie his hands to the front of the battle." Mu Wuhou sneered.

Mrs. Diexiang glanced at Mu Wuhou with disdain, "It's a fool to do it knowing that you can't do it!" If he really did such a stupid thing for the sake of his children's personal interests, I would look down on him from the bottom of my heart! ”

"You'd better cooperate, or you'll know my means!" Mu Wuhou was ashamed. I thought that without the eldest prince as a backer, this woman would be honest after all, but she didn't expect that she would be very tough, and threatened to dare to move a finger of her and commit suicide immediately.

Mu Wuhou naturally couldn't let Lady Diexiang commit suicide in his own hands.

Otherwise, Jiang Long will retaliate, and the musket is not delicious.

"The two armies are fighting, but you use a woman, and it is your own wife, to threaten the opponent, you are really shameless and skinless." Lady Butterfly sneered.

"Don't forget that at this moment, in the hands of Benhou, it's best not to take advantage of your tongue!"

Mu Wuhou shook his sleeves and left.

The musketeers were powerful, but after all, the time was short and the number was small. There were not many muskets, and musketeers had to go through rigorous training before they could go into battle.

When the four-way army of the imperial court approached, the Jing family only had 10,000 musketeers in their hands.

Of course, these musketeers were enough to sweep through the imperial army.

However, an unexpected news came, and Mu Wuhou threatened to let Jiang Long lead his troops to surrender on his knees, otherwise he would kill Mrs. Diexiang.

"Jiang Long." Jing Xian found his son and asked, "What is your relationship with Mrs. Diexiang?" ”

Jiang Long didn't expect Muwuhou to be so shameless, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Muwuhou's army will be handed over to the child." ”

"You?" Kyunghyun didn't want to agree.

But Jiang Long was resolute.

Mrs. Jing was worried about Jiang Long's safety and looked nervous.

In the end, Jing Chengxiong agreed, "If he hides like a turtle with a shrunken head, where will he have the face to appear in front of people in the future?" ”

The Jing family wants to plot against the Zhao family, if Jing Chengxiong and Jing Xian can win the emperor's throne, then Jiang Long will succeed to the throne in the future, and if there is such a big stain, it is inevitable that the majesty will be damaged, even if many people dare not say anything, but in private they will still see Jiang Long as a coward.

Even if Jiang Long can't hide, the approach is right.

Seven days later, Jiang Long set out with 5,000 cavalry, 12,000 infantry and 3,000 musketeers.

Before leaving, Lin Ya held her stomach and came to send it with tears.

Three days later, the two armies met in Pingyi County, Wangsha County, which was hilly, sandy, and dry.

Several sergeants stood in front of the army guarding Mrs. Diexiang, who was tied into a rice dumpling.

Mu Wuhou rode on horseback, brandished his whip, and shouted proudly, "Where is Jiang Long?" Do you dare to come out? If he is timid and cowers, then Benhou immediately orders to cut off the head of this slut! ”

"Leave me alone!"

Lady Butterfly shouted loudly.

A few sergeants watched to see if Mu Wuhou wanted to stop him.

Mu Wuhou was originally furious, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and refused to stop him.

Originally, he didn't think that he could lure Jiang Long out with Lady Diexiang, but if Jiang Long didn't come out, it would hit the other party's morale. Your own momentum is like a rainbow, and you have the advantage of numbers, and when you rush to kill, you won't beat the opponent and run away?

Let Mrs. Diexiang call now, the more joy she calls, the more it brings out Jiang Long's cowardice and fear of death, ruthlessness and righteousness.

What kind of man is a woman who can't protect herself?

But he forgot that Lady Butterfly was still his wife.

Jiang Long rode on the back of the snow field, looking at the opposite side and frowning slightly, the imperial court was indeed also studying the muskets, and at this moment there were ten muskets aimed at Mrs. Diexiang.

At the sound of an order, Mrs. Diexiang will disappear.

Glancing behind him, Jiang Long grabbed the horse's belly between his legs and walked out of the army.

"Don't come here!" Yaoyao saw Jiang Long beating his horse out, and Mrs. Diexiang shouted loudly, and at the same time burst into tears.

Mu Wuhou was surprised.

I didn't expect Jiang Long to really come out

"I really don't know whether to call you infatuated or stupid!" When he was not far from Mu Wuhou, Mu Wuhou sneered.

Jiang Long held the Dragon Breaking Spear he had chosen when he left Jingfu and looked directly at Mu Wuhou, "It's you who are too cowardly!" ”

"What did you say?" Mu Wuhou was furious.

Mrs. Diexiang struggled hard at this time, and actually broke free from the pull of several sergeants and rushed towards Jiang Long.

The green silk was flying, the clothes were fluttering, and there were two clear tear stains on the charming face.
