Chapter 126: The Puzzle
Yesterday was rear-ended by a car, but the driver actually jumped down and scolded me for not braking (red light in front ~~~) scolded him more and more after he felt more and more reasonable, so he actually called the traffic police, the result can be imagined, and what is even more outrageous is that the eldest brother actually did not bring a driver's license......
βββββββββββββββββββββββThis is the dividing line of being a person and not being too BHββββββββββββββββ
If Xia Jiang suddenly spit out such a sentence in order to surprise Yan Que, he could be said to have completely failed. When it comes to the calm kung fu that is not as immobile as water, I am afraid that there are few people in the world who can compare to this once prosperous Hou Ye, so even the most vicious eyes in the world can't find a trace of inappropriate expression on Yan Que's face at this time, although he doesn't really feel anything about this sentence.
"What is Brother Xia talking about? What hell robbery? Yan Que raised his eyebrows and asked, with a hint of surprise that was appropriate.
"Of course it's to save Wei Zheng, the deputy general of the Red Feather Battalion. The dungeon of the Hanging Mirror Division is not easy to break into, and if you don't lure me out, King Jing won't dare to do it. Xia Jiang looked at Yan Que with a cold face, his eyes were extremely cold, "When did Yan Hou start doing things for King Jing?" You've been hiding the truth all these years, and even I really think it...... You're gone. β
"You are self-righteous and have not changed your own mistakes," Yan Que's eyes flashed lightly, "For you, maybe there is no crime in this world that you can't prove, but only a crime that you can't think of." Imposing the charge of kidnapping a rebel prisoner on a prince without any evidence, Xia Jiang, don't you think you're already a little crazy? β
"Have I wronged him? Won't he go to save Wei Zheng? Xia Jiang raised his chin slightly and stared at Yan Que, "What I'm afraid of is that he really shrank his head back and ignore that Vice Admiral Chiyan." But I believe that King Jing's temperament will not let me down so much. β
Yan Que thought for a while and nodded happily, "You're right, King Jing's temperament seems to be like this." But he's not stupid, you're such a Longtan tiger's den in the Hanging Mirror Division, even if he wants to break in, he's powerless. β
"That's why you came forward to lead me away," Xia Jiang said, his eyes condensed slightly, and said, "Maybe it's not just me, King Jing's strategist heard that his skills are not small, maybe even Xia Qiu and Xia Chun can think of ways to lead me away." The three of us are not here, and he may really have a chance to win. β
"I remember a long, long time ago, when you first graduated from school, you didn't always use imagination instead of reality as you do now." Yan Que sighed, "When did it become like this?" Are we too sluggish or are you getting too fast? β
"Am I really just imagining? Recently, the patrol battalion arranged around the Hanging Mirror Division has increased more and more, and King Jing still thinks that he can hide it from me by secretly dispatching it into pieces," Xia Jiang's smile was arrogant, "It's a pity that he is fighting a battle that is bound to be lost, I am actually encouraging him to come, exposing his flaws, following his transfer, and giving him an opportunity to take advantage of, in order to increase his confidence, so that he feels that there should be hope that he can successfully rescue people, especially when he has an internal response......"
Yan Que glanced at Xia Jiang, and his gaze froze for a moment. For this Hou Ye, this was already his most surprised expression.
"I haven't figured out why Dong'er suddenly became suspicious and began to track down that old case everywhere. But it's good that she is turning to you at this time, I am worried that there is no suitable way to strengthen King Jing's confidence and let him act quickly. Xia Jiang moved closer to Yan Que, as if he wanted to pierce his calm epidermis earlier, "It's been three days since she came back, and I still treat her as before, completely unrestricted any of her movements, and when she secretly spies on Wei Zheng's position in the dungeon through Qiu'er, I will also find a way to properly reveal it to her, without letting her notice anything abnormal." For King Jing, with a secret conspirator like me, he will definitely feel that the plan is going well, and most of the success is already in his hands. You say, don't you? β
"I think you're too trusted." Yan Que said unceremoniously, "I know that your dungeon of the Hanging Mirror Division is a powerful place, but in the absence of all the envoys, and Xia Dong is the internal response, it is not difficult to be breached, right?" Aren't you afraid that Xia Dong will really rush into the dungeon with someone and rescue Wei Zheng? β
"That's right," Xia Jiang nodded, "It's a difficult problem. I can't really give up the child to set up the wolf, Wei Zheng is still very useful to me now, as long as he is still in my hands, no matter how many unexpected mutations occur in the situation, the odds are always on my side. β
Yan Que stirred the fire in the stove, and lifted the lid of the teapot on the fire to see the water inside, as if he was not listening.
"If the people sent by King Jing are somewhat capable, Dong'er does have the ability to lead them through the dungeon." Xia Jiang didn't care, and continued, "But Hou Yan, do you think that breaking through the dungeon means that you can find Wei Zheng? β
Yan Que put the lid on the teapot again, and his vision finally began to be a little unsteady. Because he understood the meaning of Xia Jiang's words.
When Mei Changsu carefully planned and crossed all the obstacles to enter the dungeon of the Hanging Mirror Division, it was a pity that he would find that Wei Zheng was actually not there at all.
Xia Dong is the best internal response, but if this internal response is actually a chess piece laid by others, then the more information and help you get from her, the greater the chance of fiasco.
Xia Jiang seemed to be very satisfied that he had finally chiseled a small crack in Yan Que's iron-like skin, and immediately pressed again, "Yan Hou, did King Jing tell you how he planned to exonerate himself after robbing Wei Zheng?" β
"I have no relationship with King Jing." Yan Que replied coldly, "And I believe that King Jing has nothing wrongdoing. Brother Xia, you're thinking too much. β
"You're still so ignorant of current affairs." Xia Jiang spit out such a comment and stood up, slowly walked to the window, pushed open the plain paper sash, propped it up with a stick, and took a deep breath of cold and humid air, "This Taoist temple in the mountains is more refreshing than in the city." No matter what kind of noise it is, it can't get here, it's a pity, it's a pity? β
"What a pity? It's a pity that the noise can't be transmitted? β
"Yes," Xia Jiang said lightly, "It's too far away, I can't see or hear, I wonder if the Hanging Mirror Division has begun to be lively now?" β
Yan Que looked at the shadow of the sun, at most halfway through noon, the action should not have started yet. But the journey from the Taoist temple to the city was an hour and a half, so everything was irreversible.
"It's a pity that I have a good dungeon," Xia Jiang turned around, "There is no Wei Zheng in it, but there is fire and thunder." The lead next door lit up...... Imagine that. As long as the flesh and blood begin to fly inside, I don't believe that King Jing will still be able to hold his breath after getting the news, there are so many people in the patrol camp outside the Hanging Mirror Division, and most of them are now led by King Jing's henchmen, can they bear to watch it all the time? As long as King Jing's people get excited and rashly increase their troops, more and more people will be invested, and things will naturally get bigger and bigger, and it will not be easy for him to get rid of them. And I will never give him any more chance to wash himself. β
Yan Que lowered his eyes and was silent for a long time, Fang slowly raised his head. "Brother Xia, I just want to ask you one question."
"Please."
"Have you ever wondered where your apprentice Xia Dong is when the fuse of the fire and thunder is ignited?"
Xia Jiang pursed his lips, and there was hardly anything in his eyes that could be called emotion. "I've disappointed me with her recent performances, she's not a good hanger anymore."
"In your eyes, is she just such an existence? That apprentice who followed you to learn art when he was a child and always respected you and obeyed you, is it just such an existence? It will always be used, deceived, and reused, and when she realizes that she can't use it anymore, she will destroy ......" Yan Que word by word, sad and helpless, "How unfortunate Xia Dong is, how unfortunate it is to be thrown into your door, and how unfortunate it is that I didn't see your face clearly in time." β
"You're starting to speak badly," Xia Jiang was unmoved, "What's the matter, it's a little out of breath?" It's not too late to regret it now, Yanhou, you have already missed a position back then, do you want to be wrong again? β
"Right and wrong are only in your own heart, if you think I'm wrong, why don't I think you're wrong." Yan Que shook his head and sighed, "But I want to tell you that you can not believe in affection, but it is better not to despise affection, otherwise, you will eventually be defeated by affection." β
Xia Jiang raised his head and laughed, laughed for a long time before stopping, leveled his breath and said, "Are you only getting older these years?" What do you say with such naΓ―ve? In fact, you are the ones who are defeated by affection, and you should have won the game, but you gave it up yourself. It was like that back then, and it's like that now......"
Yan Que turned his head to look at the sun shadow again, drank the last cup of tea, and stood up.
"What do you do?"
"I can go, I can't stand staying with you for a moment longer." Yan Que didn't look at Xia Jiang when he answered, and walked out as he spoke, and finally walked out of the courtyard without looking back. Xia Jiang didn't expect him to end the meeting so simply, and he was surprised and a little puzzled. When I went out, Yan Que went straight to the sedan chair and ordered people to return, without deliberately trying to make any mysteries, and he was even more uneasy.
What's so different? Xia Jiang wrinkled his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, and Yan Que's last sentence suddenly crossed his mind.
"I can go......"
Yan Que said "can" go, not "I want to go", is he "can't" go before that?
But why can't you go? Does he have any tasks? But his mission today should only be to lure himself away from the Hanging Mirror Division!
Thinking of this, Xia Jiang's mind suddenly flashed, and a thought popped up, and his face suddenly changed, his body flashed rapidly, and he flew to the front of the mountain gate, but he didn't expect to look at it at a glance, his mount was already foaming at the mouth and slumped to the ground, looking around, there was no one, and it was basically delusional to find a horse.
In desperation, Xia Jiang gritted his teeth, but still made a quick decision, lifted his breath and flew away, and rushed towards the imperial city with light skills.
However, no matter how high a person's martial arts are, even if he can fight better than a good horse at a moment's speed, it will not last long. Therefore, although Xia Jiang had deep internal strength and was good at the art of controlling qi, when he finally rushed back to the door of the Hanging Mirror Division, it would be almost two hours later.
The robbery was clearly over at this point, but there was no flesh or rubble, the dungeon was still there, and the fire and thunder fuses had been destroyed. The soldiers of the Hanging Mirror Division in the field of vision all looked a little dazed, and the two young envoys who commanded them had even more annoyed expressions, when they first saw Xia Jiang, they immediately rushed over to report the situation excitedly, but then they were frightened back by the face of this first lord.
In fact, the two young envoys who were responsible for the heavy responsibilities were all talents that Xia Jiang valued very much recently, and he even considered whether to change the practice of the Hanging Mirror Division passing on from generation to generation and appoint a few more people. So this failure was not due to the incompetence of the two of them, but to the mistakes of the decision-makers themselves.
Yan Que's mission was indeed just to lure Xia Jiang out, but the purpose of luring him out was not to make the prisoner robbery easier, but to prevent him from having the opportunity to notice something unusual at the scene and adjust his plan in time.
Because Xia Jiang's experience is too rich, for example, at this moment, he only had to look at the scene to know that King Jing's people did not seriously attack the Hanging Mirror Division at all, and there was always a purpose in planning a feint attack with so much effort, and the most likely purpose was of course to attract everyone's attention and cover up another real action.
However, Xia Jiang didn't have time to reflect now, as soon as he saw the current situation of the Hanging Mirror Division, he knew that it was not good, so he immediately pounced on the nearest horse, jumped up, waved several whips in a row, and ran in the direction of the city.
The two young envoys glanced at each other, still confused, not knowing what to do next. For the two of them, the plan was originally very clear and effective, let Xia Dong lead people into the Hanging Mirror Division first, wait for them to get close to the dungeon before starting the attack, and wait until most of the people were surrounded in the corridor in front of the dungeon, and then light the fire and thunder. But when it came to the actual execution, the first half was quite smooth, but when the people approached the dungeon, the situation changed, and they didn't continue to move forward, anyway, as if they were about to enter the adjacent courtyard. In order to prevent them from discovering the fire and thunder leads, they had to engage early, and the opponent's combat power was unexpectedly strong, and the scene was very stale. Then these people who came to rob the prison did not even enter the outer courtyard of the dungeon, and directly began to break through, the soldiers who were originally scheduled to come to sweep the tail after the fire and thunder explosion did not seal the passage, and the enemy's medicine powder, poisonous insects, powder, and smoke pills were put together, and it was difficult to catch a live one in the place where the courtyard was stacked, and finally they rushed out, and the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion outside came out to catch the giant thief at this time, and after a chaos, there was no shadow......
The whole process of robbing the prison passed in such a daze, thunder and rain, and it was thousands of miles away from the original tragic situation, leaving the set-up at a loss.
But when the two young masters looked at each other, Xia Jiang had already rushed to the city and rushed straight into the courtyard of the Yamen of Dali Temple. Fortunately, the sharp eyes of the main bookkeeper of the day recognized the head of the hanging mirror envoy who had run away from his sideburns, so he immediately stopped the two soldiers who were about to step forward to stop him, and sent someone to invite Zhu Yue of Dali Temple while stepping forward to salute.
Xia Jiang didn't look at him, and rushed straight to the Dali Temple prison located in the east. It's still quiet here, but quiet doesn't make Xia Jiang feel at ease, this place is different from the Hanging Mirror Division, it has too many methods and loopholes to tear up.
"Open it up!" When the cell boss came to inquire about it, he only heard such a shout, but then he saw the gesture of the master who ran after him, and hurriedly touched the key from his waist and opened the door. Next came the second gate, the sandwich road, the inner prison, and the water prison, Xia Jiang advanced at the fastest speed, and finally came to a black and heavy iron door with only a small hole.
This time, it was Xia Jiang who took out a key from his body and opened the iron door. A dark figure was curled up on the ground, limbs bound in chains. Xia Jiang grabbed his hair and lifted his whole face up, and glanced at the faint light of the oil lamp at the other end of the prison tunnel, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
However, as soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly realized that he had made a stupid mistake, even more stupid than the trap that had failed.
