Chapter 340: Assignment
Frontier, Jackdaw Pass.
In the tent, Jiang Jiu put his hand on a man's shoulder, looked at everyone, took a deep breath, took a step back and said.
"I brought you all from Great Xia, what I want you to do this time is very complicated and dangerous, if you don't want to go, you can tell me directly."
"You followed me from birth to death, and your relationship is no longer an ordinary master and servant, but I have already regarded you as a family, so if you refuse, I will not force you."
Jiang Jiu spoke sincerely, there were men and women standing in front of him, and at the front was a thin-looking man, who looked to be in his early twenties, and it was when he was young and energetic.
Jiang Lai said seriously: "Master, we will always be your loyal servants, what do you want us to do, just order us, we will definitely do it, no matter how dangerous it is, we must go, we must fulfill the master's wish!" ”
The others replied in unison.
"Willing to give my life for ginger wine!"
Jiang Jiu smiled movingly: "That's very good, then I only have one request for you, complete the task, be careful, and come back as soon as possible." ”
Jiang Lai's eyes burst into light, and he said with a full of anger: "Yes!" ”
The others chimed in, and for a moment, the atmosphere in the tent became a little enthusiastic.
"Get out of the way, I'm going in, I'm looking for a military advisor, there are some things to discuss, get out of the way!"
Outside the tent, Amuta's voice suddenly sounded, sounding a little impatient.
Jiang Jiu said to Jiang Lai and the others, "Go down." ”
Jiang Lai nodded, and led everyone to turn around and leave the tent.
And Amuta just broke in at this time, saw the sneaky people in the tent, frowned, squinted, and directly blocked the door of the tent, looking at Jiang who was walking towards him and said.
"What are you guys muttering here? If you have anything to say, you can't say it openly outside, don't forget your identity, a group of Daxia people, what you eat, drink, wear, and live now is all ours! Dare to be sneaky. ”
Jiang Lai glared at Amuta coldly, but he didn't argue with him in the end, but waved his hand at the people behind him, intending to bypass Amuta's side.
Amu still wanted to stop it, but ginger wine spoke.
"Amuda, now that I am in charge of the whole army, if you disobey my orders, I have the right to dismiss you, and I now order you to get out of the way!"
The way ginger wine spoke expressionlessly, it was really a bit majestic.
Amu replied with a sneer: "Take the chicken feather as an arrow? I'm telling you, don't think that if the prince hands over the power in the army to you, you can do whatever you want, you are just like them, you are all from Great Xia, don't forget your identity! ”
Jiang Lai took advantage of this time to leave with everyone.
Amu was about to quarrel with Jiang Jiu, but Jiang Lai acted like this, and he couldn't stop people, so he could only turn his anger on Jiang Jiu.
He strode forward, his eyes full of anger.
"Didn't you hear what I said? What exactly do you mean? Just now that he is in charge of the army, you called this group of Great Xia people to your own tent, what do you want to do? Rebellion! ”
Jiang Jiu seemed to be annoyed by Amu Answer, glared at him angrily, and then said in a strange manner.
"Amu replied, do you think that the fifth prince trusts me and is jealous? Then you should do something that the fifth prince trusts, instead of making a fuss when you encounter something like now, without asking the reason. ”
"What's the difference between you and a child who can't get sugar? No wonder the prince doesn't trust you, his mind is no different from that of a three-year-old child, and then I will be in charge of the whole army, and when I want to use you, I have to carefully consider whether you can complete the task. ”
"You!"
Amu pointed angrily at the ginger wine.
Jiang Jiu's contemptuous tone made Amuda angry, and the way he expressed his disdain lightly obviously stepped on Amuda's lung tube, he gritted his teeth and gestured with his fist.
"Damn! Ginger wine, if you weren't as thin as a bamboo pole, Lao Tzu would definitely have a duel with you, what a pity, you wouldn't even have the qualifications to duel with Lao Tzu. ”
"Lao Tzu can knock you down with one punch, say it, it will damage Lao Tzu's prestige, Lao Tzu doesn't fight with the weak, you should be glad that you gave birth to this weak chicken, otherwise Lao Tzu will beat you out of the!"
Since Amuda couldn't beat the ginger wine, he could only attack with his mouth.
Jiang Jiu was unmoved, obviously accustomed to the impotent fury of Amuda.
He walked down from the high platform slowly, standing in front of Amuda, a lot shorter, but his aura was stronger than Amuda.
"If you really want to know, I'll give you an explanation, just now I'm arranging a task for them, as for what, you don't need to ask, after all, you know, but it will bring trouble to the task, it's better not to know."
Jiang Jiu blocked Amu's question, and Amu didn't even have time to speak, and then Jiang Jiu continued.
"You've come just in time, since you have to prove your abilities and want to show off in front of me, then I'll give you a mission."
Amuda is full of anger now, where will he listen?
He snorted coldly and said: "I just said, don't use chicken feathers as arrows, even if you are in charge of the whole army, you are only a Great Xia person, you are in the same group as the group of guys in the city gate!" The fifth prince believes you, I don't believe you, who knows if you are a spy they planted? ”
As if he hadn't heard, Jiang Jiu raised his eyebrows and said.
"If you don't want to go, I can tell the prince about this, but you also know the prince's temper, for useless people, the prince has always wanted to look at it, you seem to want to leave here and return to the royal capital, to serve the king, then I will satisfy you!"
Threatened, ginger wine actually dared to threaten him!
Amu was furious, but he didn't want to leave, if he left, wouldn't the prince and the army be handed over to Jiang Jiu, a Daxia man? This guy thinks beautifully!
But if you don't leave, you have to listen to ginger wine, ginger wine has always counted when he speaks, and the other party has said so, if he really doesn't compromise, I'm afraid he will really be driven away.
After thinking about it and thinking about it, Amu could only reluctantly say.
"Lao Tzu listens, but it's just a couple of angry words, you say, what do you want Lao Tzu to do?"
Seeing that he changed his attitude in an instant, Jiang Jiu showed an expected smile, and then carelessly.
"It's nothing, don't you boast of being brave and good at fighting? Then I'll give you a chance to prove yourself, from now on, you attack and take the Jackdaw Pass as soon as possible, so that you can make meritorious service to the fifth prince, and it can be regarded as meritorious service for yourself, I will give you three days, can you take it? ”
Amu showed an expression that was indeed so, snorted coldly, raised his chin and looked at ginger wine, and said.
"I'll just say, you, a Great Xia person, have impure intentions, what's the matter, just after taking charge of the whole army, you want to eliminate dissidents, right? But you're underestimating me. ”
"For ordinary warriors, it may take at least five days to win the Jackdaw Pass, but for me, three days is more than enough, you wait for Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will go and take the Jackdaw Pass now!"
Amu turned around and left confidently, completely looking like he had been provoked, but he didn't know it.
Jiang Jiu shook his head helplessly, and then left the tent and walked towards the tent in the center, he had something to report to the prince.
……
"Your Majesty, the servant found this from Mo Er's room, and in addition, there is a letter."
The Imperial Study.
The prince held a painting scroll in his hand, presented it with both hands, and saluted to the Great Xia Emperor.
For a moment, everyone's eyes in the imperial study were focused on the scroll, curious about what the scroll was, and as for the letter...... It's even more important!
Emperor Daxia's eyes locked on the scroll in the prince's hand and the letter in the tray of the eunuch standing beside the prince, and glanced at Mo Er expressionlessly.
"Mo Er, are these your things?"
Mo Er shook his head: "Your Majesty, there is nothing in the villain's house, except for the usual hidden weapons and poisons, as well as antidotes, there is nothing else, these things are not mine." ”
Mo Er really didn't know how there were these two things in his room, although their royal shadow guard did have information, they wouldn't let people take it away.
The contents of the information are also strange, it may be a letter, it may be a note, it may be a leaf, but no matter what, these things are kept in the library of the royal shadow guard, and no one can take them back to their room without permission.
It's not just a violation, once discovered, they may face heavy fines, so each of their shadow guards, the house is almost clean, and there is nothing else except what is needed for assassination.
Therefore, Mo Er can be sure that these two things are not in his room, unless someone deliberately put them.
Mo Er couldn't help but move his gaze to the Nine Emperor Princes, of course he didn't suspect the Nine Emperor Princes, if the Nine Emperor Princes put something on the picture, wouldn't it be stupid?
What Mo Er thought about was that these things were estimated to be intended for the people of the Nine Emperor Princes, and the Nine Emperor Princes were obviously stunned.
He glanced at Mo Er in surprise, then at what the prince was holding in his hand, and couldn't help asking.
"Princess, did you really find this thing from Mo Er's house?"
The prince took the time to look back at Mo Er and the Nine Emperor Ziye, and then said affirmatively.
"Back to the Nine Emperor Princes, these things, the minions are indeed all found from the room of the Mo Second Shadow Guard."
The Nine Emperors had nothing to say at this time, but he was a little worried, because he didn't know what these things were, and until the last moment, he could only wait and see what happened.
No matter what he does or says now, it looks suspicious, and he even regrets it a little, so he shouldn't have asked more than that, and it's not too late to say it when he's sure what it is.
Emperor Daxia glanced at the Nine Emperors lightly, and then said to the prince, "Open it." ”
The prince replied respectfully, and then unfolded the scroll, first showing it to the Great Xia Emperor, and then turned around and faced Lu Xuanqing and the others.
Lu Xuanqing recognized what this painting was almost at a glance, and said in surprise: "This, isn't this the Laxue Hanmei of the former dynasty painter Shen Xingchi?" How could it be in Mo Er's house? ”
Speaking of this, Lu Xuanqing suddenly turned around and glanced at the Nine Emperor Princes, the following words were not spoken, but everyone guessed something.
Shen Xingchi's paintings are very famous, and there are only a handful of authentic works left, this Laxue Hanmei picture is one of them, such a precious ink painting, naturally it is impossible to be collected by a small shadow guard.
Therefore, it stands to reason that Mo Er could not have such a precious painting, so where did this thing come from?
Emperor Daxia didn't look at the two of them, and said directly to the prince: "Open the letter and read it." ”
The prince handed the red plum picture directly to Lu Xuanqing, and Lu Xuanqing held it carefully.
