Chapter 43: The Magic of the Scepter

In order not to let Emperor Yongan suspect her, Jia Qianqian went to the imperial dining room of the palace to use her power for personal gain. When she came back with a lot of delicious delicacies from the mountains and seas, Jia's father told her a thunderbolt of bad news: Long Jie had fallen for the ploy of the crown prince of Liguo and was captured by the other party.

Jia Qianqian's face suddenly changed color, and she asked Jia Feiwen anxiously, "Dad, what about Long Xiao?" Can't Long Xiao save him? ”

"The eldest prince is now a rat trap and is negotiating with the crown prince of Liguo, but the other party's offer is too big, so he urgently reported to the court and asked the emperor to decide."

"How much does it cost?"

Jia Feiwen sighed, "The Emperor of Liguo wants the Great Yan Kingdom to cede fifteen cities, and at the same time, he will also pay tribute to them in the future. ”

"It's a lion's mouth!"

"Yes, so it is impossible for the emperor to agree, but if the emperor does not agree, the lives of the three princes will be in danger!"

Jia Qianqian only felt that her heart was sinking all the time. And if Long Jie died? If Long Jie dies... She didn't dare to think about it anymore, everything was only known when she lost it. Since Long Jie and Ma Ruyun had an affair, she began to close her feelings, although Long Jie later explained that Ma Ruyun was a prostitute # girl, and it was Long Xiao and Ma Zhixian who jointly designed him, but the picture of him and Ma Ruyun upside down cannot be easily erased. So she seemed to have forgiven Long Jie later, but she was still haunted in her heart, so she had always resisted her good impression of him and refused to let go of her feelings. But today, when she heard that Long Jie was captured and his life might be lost, she realized that she couldn't lose him.

Even Nie Wuzheng still had to risk his life to save him, let alone Long Jie, so Jia Qianqian could no longer stay in the capital with peace of mind. She's going to the north, she's going to save Long Jie. But even Long Xiao was helpless, how could she, a weak woman, rescue Long Jie in the midst of thousands of troops? Looking at the sunny sun outside, Jia Qianqian's eyes suddenly narrowed, she has the world's most precious scepter! Nie Wuzheng didn't say that it could capture people's minds, with it, he could submit his opponent without blood, if these were true, then it would be easy to save Long Jie.

As soon as she thought of it, Jia Qianqian quietly packed up her things, left a letter for her father, and slipped out of the house. Seeing the two guards following far behind him, Jia Qianqian did not play a game of hide and seek with them anymore and threw them off, but turned around and beckoned them to come over.

The two guards came over obediently, and Jia Qianqian said with a serious face: "Your master Long has done something outstanding and was captured by the enemy, do you want to save it?" ”

The two guards glanced at each other, and one of the guards with thick eyebrows and big eyes said: "Miss Jia, don't be joking, the third prince is a prison army, where is it so easy to be captured." ”

"It's true, believe it or not, anyway, I'm going to the north now, if you want to save people together, follow me."

Another guard said: "The third prince told us to protect the girl, as long as the girl doesn't want to get rid of us, naturally we will follow you wherever you go." ”

"Okay, then let's hurry up and head north."

Jia Qianqian asked two guards to go to Long Jie's courtyard to pick three good horses, one horse for one guard to ride, and ordered the two horses to take turns to pull the carriage, and the two guards to take turns to be the coachman. The reason why these two guards were followed was also because she was worried that the distance was long, and it was always dangerous for her, a weak woman with no martial arts, to travel alone. To the surprise of the two guards, she also asked them to put two shovels on the cart.

Out of the capital, Jia Qianqian did not let the guards rush along the official road to the north, but let them drive the car to the broken temple. After carefully checking that there was no one around, he led two confused guards with shovels to the mound behind the ruined temple.

"There's something I've buried down here, you two dig it up."

The two guards obediently dug up the mound. When the brocade was revealed, Jia Qianqian asked the two guards to stay away, and then she took out the brocade-wrapped scepter. At this time, the bright sunlight shone on this desolate backyard, and when the scepter emerged from the brocade, it immediately emitted a dazzling and magnificent light, and the jade medallion at the top of the scepter emitted a circle of light rippling around.

The two guards had long since stood there dumbfounded, their eyes full of admiration.

"You two eat all this pile of dirt in your stomach!" Jia Qianqian suddenly said something crazy. If the two guards were normal, they would definitely think she was joking and ignore her. But what shocked Jia Qianqian happened, the two guards really came over, picked up the soil on the ground and stuffed it into their mouths.

"Stop! Don't eat it. Seeing that the scepter really had such incredible magical power, Jia Qianqian couldn't help but tremble. Oh, my God! It's terrifying, and whoever has the scepter can conquer the whole world. Of course, it also has a disadvantage, that is, when there is no sunlight, it cannot exert its magic.

Jia Qianqian wrapped the scepter in shock and tied it to his body. The two guards stared at her blankly like soulless puppets.

"What's your name?" Jia Qianqian asked the thick-eyed guard.

"Li Donglei."

"What are you going to do?"

"Follow Miss Jia to save the third prince."

"Do you dare to scold the third prince?"

The guard, perhaps at a loss, looked at her a little bewildered.

"You go and fight the third prince." Jia Qianqian continued to give chaotic orders.

"Good!"

The guards looked left and right, obviously looking for the third prince in his memory.

"Forget it, don't fight, let's go, go catch the car, let's go to the official road."

There was still dirt left on the lips of the two guards, and they listened to Jia Qianqian's command in a daze. Until he got into the carriage, Jia Qianqian's heart was still pounding, his hand touched the scepter on his body, and his body was still trembling slightly. It's amazing, and it's terrifying. If it weren't for the sudden change in the weather that day, Nie Wuzheng would have obtained the scepter, but he was afraid that he would control the emperor in the palace at that time, and then seize the Great Yan Kingdom.

It wasn't until about an hour later that the two guards regained their senses. One of the guards spat out the dirt in his mouth, frowned, and said, "Why do I have mud in my mouth?" Bah! Bah! ”

Another guard who was driving the car also spat and said inexplicably: "Me too, my mouth is very uncomfortable, I can't help it, and I don't know how to get it in my mouth?" I remember that Miss Jia asked us to dig the soil, and she hid something in the ground. ”

"Probably, I don't remember exactly." The two of them were almost spitting up their saliva before they felt a little more comfortable.

Jia Qianqian, who had been secretly observing these two people, understood the power of this scepter. After it captures people's minds, they also have no memory of what they have done. And even if the scepter was put away, it would take about an hour to regain his mind.

After that, along the way, Jia Qianqian put on a wide robe, dressed nondescriptly, and was careful not to let the two guards discover the scepter on her body. The two guards also sensed her strangeness, but they just thought that Qianqian was hiding a treasure on her body, and they didn't think about anything else.

Xiaoxing stayed overnight, kept hurrying, and after ten days, finally arrived at the place of battle. The closer you get to the border city of Yuncheng, which is currently facing off, the more displaced people you encounter along the way. The most direct victims of the war are naturally these people at the lowest level.

Long Xiao and Long Jie led the army to come, and their morale was high, and they recaptured two cities in one fell swoop. Maybe it was too easy to win, and both of them took it a little lightly. When recovering the last border city of Yuncheng, Ruo Yeqi, the crown prince of Liguo, led a large army to suddenly abandon the city and flee to the southwest, Long Xiao ordered Long Jie to take 10,000 soldiers and horses into the city first and occupy Yuncheng, while he himself led the army to chase Ruo Yeqi. When Long Jie's soldiers and horses entered the city, they were suddenly besieged by 30,000 horses and horses who were ambushed in the city. With one enemy and three enemies, hand-to-hand combat at close range, there was no military skill to speak of, and Long Jie's soldiers and horses were finally outnumbered. Just when he desperately fought his way out of the encirclement and wanted to go out to join the imperial brother, he was stopped by an elite soldier who was secretly placed by Ruo Yeqi to assassinate the commander. The horse was shot to death, and Long Jie, who had fought to the end of his strength, was finally caught in a fishing net by the enemy and taken prisoner.

When Ruo Yeqi learned that his plan had captured the three princes of the Great Yan Kingdom, the tide of battle was immediately reversed. He asked Long Xiao to tell him that if he wanted to save Long Jie's life, he would immediately retreat thirty miles.

Long Xiao, who threw a rat trap, secretly regretted his carelessness, and did not expect that the other party would place ambushes in the city, so he had to retreat thirty miles and start negotiations with Ruoyeqi.

Jia Qianqian came to the place where Long Xiao was garrisoned, and after hearing that the crown prince of Liguo was now a dignified garrison in Yuncheng, she did not go to see Long Xiao, but wanted to rescue Long Jie single-handedly with the treasure in her hand.

Avoid Long Xiao's army and take a long detour towards Yuncheng. The two guards didn't understand anymore, and they persuaded her not to go forward, but to see His Royal Highness the Generalissimo and the Prince first. Jia Qianqian didn't say anything, just asked the two if they wanted to disobey her command? The two guards had no choice but to follow her decision.

I thought that after going around in a big circle, I might not encounter Long Xiao's forward army, but who knew that about ten miles away from Yuncheng, it was intercepted by a small group of people.

The squad surrounded Jia Qianqian and the three of them violently, and one of the leading squad leaders shouted: "The people in the car hurry down, otherwise they will be killed." ”

The guard on the horse was the person next to Long Jie, so naturally he would not be frightened, but arrogantly pointed at the squad leader's nose, "Listen, I am the guard under the Three Princes, and I am here to save the Three Princes, why are you stopping me?" ”

"You are the guard of the third prince, and Lao Tzu is still the imperial guard next to the emperor. Brothers, grab these few pieces and bring them back to the marshal for interrogation. ”

Jia Qianqian in the carriage immediately became anxious, if Long Xiao knew that she was coming, she would definitely not let her go to Yuncheng alone.

Lifted the curtain and scolded: "Who is the fine work?" Let your leaders come here. ”

The squad leader said vividly: "A female streamer, who appears in the battle area, what kind of woman from a good family can be?"

Jia Qianqian angrily took out the gold medal and shook it in front of his eyes, "Look at it, this is a gold medal given by the emperor, such as the emperor in person." Even your generalissimo will not dare to stop me. ”
