Chapter 136: The Consequences of Underestimating the Enemy
"Are you alright?" On the way back, Zhao Yan saw that Jiang Xiaoyu had been depressed, and he felt a little bad in his heart. The first prince once studied the art of war with General Bai, at that time he had a strong relationship with the first prince, and he also studied with him for a period of time, which can be said to have benefited a lot, and his future experience of the art of war was enlightened during that time, because of this, his father asked him to come here to investigate the affairs of the Cardinal Sect.
He firmly believed in his heart that the first prince was innocent, so the old general's rebellion was just nonsense, but it was a pity that for the sake of what he was going to protect, he could only rot some of me in his stomach! He admires the old general, but there are too many people who died in the capital ten years ago, so he also thinks how many people in this world still remember the old general's great achievements to the Great Zhou?
When he knew about the Cardinal Sect, although he didn't agree with the other party's methods, it would be a great relief to him if there was really someone who remembered the old general, which was similar to Xiaoyu, and Xiaoyu also knew this, so he didn't hide anything from him.
Now, the disappointment is pretty much the same.
"Nothing!" Jiang Xiaoyu shook his head, "I just feel a little angry!" In the past ten years, there are still people who want to use grandpa, and grandpa Jiuquan will not be at ease! ”
"We must eradicate the Cardinal Sect and make the old general blind!" Zhao Yan comforted.
Jiang Xiaoyu raised his eyes and glanced at him, and asked, "Can grandpa really be able to blind his eyes?" ”
Zhao Yan found a stone on the shore and sat down, groaned for a while and asked, "Do you remember when I asked you to put away all your thoughts and live with Zhao Ling in peace?" You're just a girl's family, and there are some things you shouldn't be in charge of, and you can't take care of them! ”
"It has nothing to do with whether I'm a girl or not!" Jiang Xiaoyu sat down next to him, "Since I am the remnants of the Bai family's blood and bones, there are some things I should do!" ”
"But there are some things, even if you track them down? Whose head will you find out in the end? Zhao Yan turned his head and looked at Jiang Xiaoyu with a deep gaze, "Do you know who your opponent is?" Although I don't know who made the deliberate move back then, but if you were able to frame the prince and the general back then, will a little you be their opponent? ”
"But if I give up, the truth can only be silenced forever!" Jiang Xiaoyu lowered his eyes and said, "If I don't work hard to let the truth come out, when all of us who have numbers in our hearts die, how will future generations view them?" I will work hard until I succeed or I die, not only because the people who died were my relatives, but also because I couldn't be buried as a person, but I selfishly pulled Zhao Ling in! I know the limits of my abilities, and the only person I can rely on is him! ”
"And me!" Zhao Yan looked at Jiang Xiaoyu's side face and said, "Although I have experienced life and death several times, I still have too many things to fear, although I am unwilling, I also use various reasons to try to paralyze myself, you are right, no matter how many threats exist, it cannot be a reason for me to retreat!" I am in the middle of the court, I have too many last resorts, in addition to others, I am also a person, since my conscience still exists, how can I stay out of the matter! ”
"But I really don't want you to get involved too much!" Jiang Xiaoyu turned his head to look at Zhao Yan's eyes, and said seriously, "When I talked to Bai Shan that day, I said that maybe His Majesty would send a large army to slaughter the people, I thought you would object, it seems that you have a better understanding of Emperor Zhou's ruthlessness than me." The three princes are obedient, unscrupulous in order to achieve the goal, if he ascends the throne as the emperor one day, I don't know how many people will follow the bad luck, and you are generous by nature, so the future king of the Great Zhou must be you! And Your Majesty's suspicion is too heavy, you can't get too involved with the events of the year, not to let you stay out of the matter, just think that you are our last hope! ”
She lowered her eyes, and then said: "I don't know where it will happen in the future, if Zhao Ling and I abandon you one day, you have to have enough confidence in us, we are here to protect you!" ”
"You're thinking too far!" Zhao Yan said, "Competing with the third child is now on the line, and no one can retreat!" I also objected to Zhao Ling's marriage with you at the beginning, because I knew that my father was suspicious, so I didn't want to have anything to do with the Bai family, but then I gradually reflected that I had completely forgotten my original intention after fighting with the third child over the years! When I was in Cangyun Villa, you went to relieve everyone alone, I was impressed by you, and at the same time, I was reflecting on myself! I don't want to do things against my heart, whether it is against my father, the court, the people, or my conscience, I have to be right! ”
The heartfelt words of the two made the two understand each other a lot more and admired a lot.
After returning to the inn, a guard stepped forward to report: "Childe, the person has been caught!" ”
"Bring it on!" Zhao Yan said lightly.
After a while, I saw two black-armored guards escorting a middle-aged man up, and this man was the one who was called the Lord of Incense by Du!
"You're Jiang Ming?" Zhao Yan asked in a deep voice, "The incense master of the Cardinal Sect? ”
"Yes, I am!" Jiang Ming glanced Zhao Yan up and down a few times, "Who are you?" What did you catch me doing here? ”
"Am I not the one you want to kill?" Zhao Yan said lightly.
"You...... Are you the second prince Zhao Yan? Jiang Ming was surprised, and at the same time there was some fear in his eyes, "You didn't die!" Didn't Du Tong's trap catch you? ”
Zhao Yan glanced at this man, and actually took the initiative to mention Du Tong, thinking that he wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone, he smiled coldly: "Will Du Tong be my opponent?" ”
This waste! Jiang Ming scolded a few words in his heart, rolled his eyes and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
"You are too arrogant, Du Tong still has a few dead soldiers around him to protect you, you dare to travel alone, do you really think that no one can touch you on Du Tong's territory?" Zhao Yan said coldly, "Please come here, naturally I won't invite you to chat, I just hope you can answer a few questions honestly!" ”
"Hahaha!" Jiang Ming looked up to the sky and laughed, "The second prince said that he was arrogant below, but he was indeed arrogant below, but isn't the second prince arrogant?" Do you know why I never need to be protected when I travel? It's because I dislike that their martial arts are too low, and I can handle it alone! ”
"Be careful!" As soon as his words fell, Jiang Xiaoyu immediately pulled Zhao Yan aside, and at this time, Jiang Ming actually used internal force to break the rope on his body and attacked Zhao Yan's neck.
Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Yan, who had escaped the catastrophe, looked at Jiang Ming in surprise, seeing his angry appearance in front of Du Tong, but they underestimated him, but they didn't expect that he was just acting!
Jiang Ming laughed a few times: "You two boys think that I didn't find you when I hid on the roof?" It's just that I don't want to do it in Du Tong's mansion, so I have to share half of the credit with him! It's just that I didn't expect you to really send it to the door yourself, and I will accept the heads of the two of you! ”
Jiang Xiaoyu was secretly frightened, this Jiang Ming's internal strength was so deep, they were too careless, even Bai Shan's white eyebrows martial arts were so strong, a fragrance master, especially an idle person?
The black armor guards have already rushed into the house to protect Zhao Yan and Jiang Xiaoyu, and this time there are only ten black armor guards around him, and there are four people patrolling below, two of them go out to perform tasks, and there are only four people by his side at the moment, and for the black armor guards who have always been good at teamwork and cooperation, it is extremely disadvantageous!
Jiang Ming has already made a move, his moves are ruthless, and with the strong internal force, he looks extremely domineering! Although the four black-armored guards tried their best to deal with it, they could see that they were very struggling, and Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Yan had not healed from their injuries!
Jiang Xiaoyu quickly thought about countermeasures, staring at the fight between several of them, wanting to find an opportunity to sneak attack!
Jiang Ming slapped a black-armored guard with a palm, and the man vomited blood and half-knelt on the ground, while Jiang Ming had to make up for it on his forehead.
At this time, Jiang Xiaoyu flew away with a few silver needles, and Jiang Yuan flicked his sleeves and blocked all her silver needles on the ground: "Just carving insect skills, don't come out and be embarrassed, you two can also go together, let me solve all of you at once!" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu took out the dagger in his boots and attacked Jiang Ming, Zhao Yan also joined the battlefield regardless of his injuries, the furniture in the inn room had been smashed, a black-armored guard was sent out of the window, and the battlefield was also transferred to the courtyard below.
The inn was wrapped up by Zhao Yan, so naturally no other guests were disturbed, but the owner of the inn and Xiao Er were so frightened that they hid in the corner, secretly complaining, how to provoke the plague god!
Xueluo was boiling medicine, and she also heard the movement in the yard, she was a doctor, and she knew that protecting herself was the biggest help, and she might be able to use herself later, so although she was very worried in her heart, she still pressed herself and rushed out to see what was going on, and rushed to the front to see what was going on, so she had to pray secretly, I hope nothing will happen!
In the courtyard, the tiles were flying, and there were already two black-armored guards who were seriously injured and lost their ability to fight, and the four people who were guarding the front and back discovered the movement here, and also ran to see what was going on.
It's just that Jiang Ming's martial arts are really strong, and a few of them can't really suppress him when they join forces, only relying on the two black-armored guards on the periphery echoing with the weapons in their hands, coupled with Jiang Xiaoyu's possible sneak attack at any time, that he relented a little, and quickly adjusted his strategy, planning to kill the two people on the roof now!
The battlefield once again shifted from the ground of the courtyard to the roof, Zhao Yan's injuries were the most serious, and he was already a person with a super long physique who could move quickly and freely, how could he be asked to recover his martial arts at this moment?
Jiang Xiaoyu also felt that she was a frog at the bottom of the well again and again, when she was in Jiangfu, she always wanted to go out and break through, to see what level she was at, and when she really got to the rivers and lakes, there were mountains outside the mountains, and there were people outside the people, and she was just a three-legged cat!
Although Jiang Ming's figure began to be a little messy under the siege of everyone, he approached his target step by step, and his eyebrows were full of murderous energy, which could really be described as desperate!
