Chapter 80: Serial
In the thick of the night, Emperor Jingming, who had been dealing with government affairs for a day, opened the black box again.
Internal strife? That's not a good sign.
There is a suspicious caravan entering the country from Beiyouguo, and it is very likely that it will carry iron weapons.
He held the yellow paper in his hand, but his mind was on the secret report presented by Shui Xin today.
Privately buying ironware, some people really think that they are dead? Just sit in the palace and wait for you to rebel?
The temple in the west city of Liyang was broken, and Qian Tianhe contacted Shen Kaiji for the first time with Wan Jinyue's handwritten letter.
The person she negotiated with before was just a maid next to her? Shen Kaiji was a little suspicious of his eyes.
He quickly scanned the letter, and probably knew Qian Tianhe's intention, and the other party wanted to ask him for some available manpower.
"Mr. Qian can go back with peace of mind, and tomorrow, the person Wan wants will appear on time."
Qian Tianhe, who said goodbye to Shen Kaiji, quickly returned to the Qian Mansion.
Under the winter sun, the fake King Cheng took a carriage to inspect the courtyard on the outskirts of the Chengwang Mansion, while the King of Zhen Cheng took two dead soldiers to pretend to be ordinary merchants and stopped all the way, gradually approaching the center of the storm - Luoxian County, Lanzhou.
Wan Jinyue, who is maturing day by day, is constantly changing her outfit to follow closely, sometimes she is the peasant woman selling rice and grain on the roadside, and sometimes she is the merchant walking the streets...... The night before the move, Wan Jinyue reclined and rested in the dilapidated temple.
She tried her best to restrain her breathing, and after following her for days, she already knew clearly that the dead soldiers around King Cheng were not simple.
Liyang Jiang Wangfu, the Jiang Wang, who was supposed to be recuperating quietly, was suddenly poisoned and killed by the little chamberlain in the mansion, and the words of the same room and the previous turmoil made Emperor Jingming have to be suspicious of his sons.
On the way to Luo County, Qian Tianhe and his party were making the final deal of the dug trap.
The refurbished soil marks are covered with dead leaves, and the tripping rope is painted yellow, so I don't know if it will rain tomorrow.
In the middle of the night, Wan Jinyue, who was taking a nap, opened her eyes, and the three of them really took advantage of the darkness to go on the road again, and she followed them carefully.
It was the cry of a magpie, and it seemed that the trap was ahead, but the three of King Cheng, who were supposed to move forward normally, suddenly pulled the reins together.
Wan Jinyue hid her figure behind the dark green pine tree, she glanced around, this trap was set by Qian Tianhe, considering many factors, the soil on the road has no traces of renovation, except for the sound of the wind blowing the branches, there is only the faint cry of the bird in winter, what is the problem?
She jerked back, drawing her dagger from her boots, and it was able to withstand the sword in the hands of the man who rode her horse.
An inch long and an inch strong, Wan Jinyue, who had suffered a loss of weapons, had to jump hard, she used all her strength to stomp on the horse's head, and the short sword in her hand walked up the long sword of the dead man.
The dagger in Wan Jinyue's left sleeve quickly slid out, wounding the dead man's left shoulder, and the horse that was trampled on went berserk.
It seems that the two of them did not discover the trap in front of them, but found themselves.
Qian Tianhe, who should have been waiting intently, saw that the situation was not good, and immediately joined the battlefield from the other side. With a little more preparation, he swung his long knife and cut off King Cheng's horse's leg.
Shen Kaiji hid in the bushes and pulled the bow full, how could he not have himself at such a good moment?
The feather arrow departed from the string and headed straight for the dead soldier who had just jumped off the mad horse, and the arrow hit the back of the heart.
King Cheng, who had just stood firm on horseback, clenched the long knife in his hand, this person from Beiyou really couldn't believe it, saying that this batch of goods was extraordinary, and he had to show up to trade before he was willing to give the goods, it turned out that he was waiting for himself here, the arrow was shining and dazzling, and it was clearly not like that produced in Kuidong.
He held a long knife in his hand, his eyes were fixed on the approaching Wan Jinyue, this thin man in black was known for his flexibility, and he had to react quickly to have a chance to survive against such an opponent.
Qian Tianhe and another dead soldier fought and retreated, and the trap dug didn't need to be repeated, didn't it waste the effort of the previous day?
Seeing that it was almost over, Qian Tianhe dodged nimblely and kicked the dead man into the trap with one kick, and there are a lot of bamboo thorns waiting for you below.
After dealing with the dead man, Qian Tianhe turned around and returned to the scene of the fight between Wan Jinyue and King Cheng.
The breath is steady but not chaotic, the body is ghostly and unpredictable, and the short sword under his hand strikes fiercely, and the moves go straight to the vital point...... This girl's progress is not small.
Xiao Ji held the long knife in both hands, and he was able to dodge Wan Jinyue's attack, and he was already a little powerless.
Leaning forward sideways, he tore off the black cloth that Wan Jinyue was hiding his face, and the familiar face on it made him shake his mind slightly, Yuqing County Lord?
The short sword entered his abdomen, and Xiao Ji spit out several mouthfuls of blood in pain and fell on his back. Wan Jinyue stepped on the fallen man with her feet, her heart was horizontal, the short sword was pulled horizontally, and the broken organs poured out along the bloody mouth.
Xiao Ji, who wanted to speak, closed his eyes forever with his last words that he couldn't blurt out.
Wan Jinyue knelt on the ground with a bloodstained short sword in her hand, this time, she did it, she killed King Cheng with her own hands, she avenged her father, she avenged Jiang Ziyue, she was not the little girl who needed Yun Yuan to stand up for her in the face of the fire.
It was already dawn, and she got up with the dagger in her hand.
The man standing not far away had a gentle smile on his face, and the originally dazzling newborn sun was blocked behind him by this broad shoulder.
Wan Jinyue took the plain white handkerchief handed by the man and wiped the blood on her cheeks.
He didn't seem to say much but did it with all his heart, he obviously didn't give him much good looks, he was willing to investigate the suspicious people in the military camp for himself, and even found out the exact time and place of King Cheng and Beiyou's iron trade.
The little girl with a sour nose suddenly laughed and cried, Qian Tianhe, who was originally standing, suddenly panicked, he wanted to wipe the tears of the little girl, but he always felt that it was not polite.
Wan girl has never admitted that she likes herself.
Shen Kaiji, who was hiding on the side, looked at the stunned man, and there were a lot of emotions in his heart, the girl was crying, wouldn't she wipe her tears? Don't have long hands? Hug someone gently.
On the outskirts of Luo County, the caravan of the North Youguo selling animal skins was repaired here today, and Shui Xin led a team of dragon tooth guards to pretend to be a dart master who went south and north to escort goods.
Catching thieves and taking stolen goods, this major event of the prince's rebellion, must have empirical evidence before it can be spoken, otherwise the officials in the palace will leave room for the father-son relationship, and the person who is captured by himself will become a framed person, and when the time comes, it is a luxury to give a happy death.
The sun is thin, and the tired birds return to the forest. But the person who connected did not appear, could it be that the information of his subordinates was wrong?
After another quarter of an hour or so, the caravan, which was supposed to be repaired on the spot, departed, and the situation changed.
The caravan and his party hurriedly walked north, knowing that they had missed the opportunity, and the Governor of Shui finally made a move.
The prince didn't catch it, and there was room for explanation, but if the iron weapon that had entered the realm was let go, he, the governor, would just want to change people.
On the outskirts of Luo County, a bloody battle was being staged, and in the Chengwang Mansion, Xiao Fangshi, who was dressed up as a door, knelt on the futon, chanting words in his mouth, and carrying the thick account book in his arms.
Tonight, if the plan goes well, he will be summoned to the palace, this account is the evidence of King Cheng's mutilation of his siblings, and he is the witness who accidentally overheard the truth, no matter who King Jiang killed, he must be killed by King Cheng today.
The third watch has passed, but the expected summons is delayed.
