Chapter 155 The instigator is someone else
Yushu and Yuhua were ordered by Liangjiang to ride Juechen and take detours back to the capital in different directions at two forked roads.
Liang Jiang and Gu Xizhi knew that senior brother Lu Zhengqi and the four of them, watching chess, traveled day and night, heading straight to Beijing. Along the way, they encountered several ambushes.
Fortunately, the four of them were all very skilled, and Liangjiang was proficient in the art of treating poisons. They were all safe and arrived at Shiliting in Shangjing smoothly.
Liang Jiang couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Xizhi never mentioned the silk yarn and white flowers thing again, but along the way, the pressure he brought to Liang Jiang was everywhere.
She didn't even dare to look into Gu Xizhi's eyes, fearing that he would see her guilty conscience.
Occasionally, he would fall behind Gu Xizhi on horseback. Looking at Gu Xizhi's strong and straight back on the horse, Liang Jiang's mind would be full of imagination and some absurd ideas would pop up.
Why would he fall in love with the emperor's woman when such an outstanding person is so chivalrous? Is the emperor trying to steal love, or is he a romantic?
How is that Xin concubine doing now? He shouldn't be in the palace anymore, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't have been unable to find it for so many years.
Regarding Xinbi, although I didn’t see clearly what she looked like in a hurry, my impression didn’t seem to be that amazing. What was so extraordinary about it that King Pingxi could never forget, even Xie Wan’er and Jian Shuyan Excellent women are looked down upon.
What a bad fate.
When they arrived at Shiliting, Yu Shu and Yu Hua had already arrived one after another. They did not encounter any interceptions along the way, and they were all in peace. They were all overjoyed to see Liang Jiang return safely.
Liang Jiang took back the secret edicts from the two of them one after another. To her surprise, the two forged secret edicts were both intact and showed no signs of being opened.
Liang Jiang and Gu Xizhi avoided everyone and told him the truth.
"The secret decree has not been tampered with. Could it be that there is another traitor, not one of them? Or have they seen through our temptation?"
Gu Xizhi looked solemn: "Or maybe there is a third reason."
"What reason."
"This secret decree is not important to the people behind her."
"This secret decree can directly determine Tong Shouliang's life or death. Isn't it important?"
"It may be important to Tong Shouliang. But her behind-the-scenes instigator may not be Tong Shouliang."
Liang Jiang was stunned: "How can you see that?"
Gu Xizhi asked Liang Jiang: "When did these two girls know that I went to Xiliang with you?"
"I should have come to Xiliang with Guanqi... No, maybe I guessed it when we were at the border."
"Then, wouldn't it be better if she had many opportunities to reveal my identity and make it impossible for all of us to return to Chang'an? Or, wouldn't it be better if we were directly defeated at the hands of Hu Yanchao? Why did she have to wait until we left before taking action? ?”
Liang Jiang has never thought about this problem.
After Gu Xizhi's reminder, she asked doubtfully: "Could it be that the other party also wants to use our help to get rid of Hu Yanchao?"
Gu Xizhi nodded appreciatively: "Not only Hu Yanchao, but also this king. The person he is targeting is me, not you."
"Tong Shouliang wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife? That's not right, it's definitely not him! He knew full well that doing so would be too risky and might expose the original conspiracy."
"That's why I said that there may be someone else behind the scenes."
When Gu Xizhi said one word, both of them fell silent.
A very bold idea came to Liang Jiang's mind. As soon as this idea came up, she immediately pushed it back.
This is not what I should think.
The situation in the court is complicated. As an outsider, why should I have to worry about it?
She did not continue to inquire further, but asked Gu Xizhi: "What about Yu Shu and Yu Hua? Should I send them all away together?"
Gu Xizhi shook his head solemnly: "Even if you send away two people, there will still be a third one. It will be even more difficult to guard against.
For the time being, this person is not very malicious towards you, so it is better to pretend not to know for the time being. Act with caution, you may still be able to take advantage of it in the future. "
His thoughts coincided with Liang Jiang's.
He nodded and said, "That's fine. I also want to know who actually reached out to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard rustling noises on the roadside. Gu Xizhi immediately turned his face alertly and shouted: "It's here again, everyone, be careful."
Just hearing a few "swish" sounds, green figures jumped out of the grass on the roadside one after another.
All four of them understood that this was inevitable. How could Tong Shouliang sit still and wait for death?
Even if we fight to the death, we must prevent Liang Jiang from returning to Beijing.
The opponents were all dressed in Tsing Yi, wearing ferocious masks on their faces, holding sharp blades, and blocked them in front of the six people. Without a word of nonsense, he just swarmed forward with deadly moves.
The six people showed no fear, and each used their own hands and feet to deal with it calmly.
Lu Zhengqi raised his voice and said to Liang Jiang: "The city gate has been opened. I am here. Junior sister, you and the prince can leave with peace of mind."
Liang Jiang didn't take it seriously at all: "We'll deal with these little gangsters together."
Gu Xizhi also urged: "This is only a few miles away from the upper capital. As long as you enter the capital, you will be safe. I will cover you and leave immediately on horseback, so that Tong Shouliang can be caught off guard."
Liang Jiang thought for a while and realized that the target of these assassins was him. If he left, they would naturally withdraw.
So no more entanglement: "Okay, you should be careful."
The long sword in Gu Xizhi's hand swept through the crowd of people in green clothes, and he warned uneasily: "When you enter the palace this time, you have the secret decree of the King of Xiliang in your hand, and Tong Shouliang will definitely defeat him.
But you must remember four words: enough is enough, and never take anything seriously. "
"Why?" Liang Jiang asked while fighting and retreating, "Why should we stop in moderation?"
Gu Xizhi faced her back: "It's nothing, I just know that you like to be more serious, impulsive, and reckless, and I'm afraid that you will suffer a loss."
Liang Jiang laughed at himself: "I'm not a fighting cock."
Her description is really quite apt.
Gu Xi couldn't help but smile: "Are you ready to fight now?"
Liang Jiang straightened his spine and nodded firmly: "Ready!"
"Okay, let's go."
Gu Xizhi turned around, and his long sword flashed through a dazzling white light. The sharp sword energy forced the man in Tsing Yi to retreat and press forward, and covered Liang Jiang to get on his horse.
The senior brother took out two black iron lumps from his arms and threw them into her arms: "The thunderbolts I brought from Yuhua Mountain are for your defense."
Liang Jiang continued unceremoniously, and under the cover of Gu Xizhi and others, he shook the horse's reins and galloped away immediately.
Just as she expected, when the man in Tsing Yi saw her leaving, he was not willing to fight and immediately chased after her.
The group of people fought and marched, and soon Liang Jiang arrived at Shangjing City.
The city gate stands tall in front of you.
The rising sun broke through the sea of clouds in the east, and golden light shone in an instant, coating the city gate with a layer of golden sunlight.
Liang Jiang lowered his head and glanced at his toes. There were still a few blood spots remaining on them, which had dried up.
When I stretched out my hand, it was a little tanned by the sun, and it was obviously rough.
There seems to be a bit of sweat odor on my body.
The days he spent with Gu Xizhi, from going to the Demon Lord to retrieve the golden birthday star, to going to Xiliang and his party, were all turbulent. They had never been as calm, elegant, quiet and peaceful as other women.
Even when I returned to Beijing today, I was so embarrassed.
Fortunately, he returned safely.
My father's injustice will finally be repaid with blood. Tong Shouliang, I, Liangjiang, are back and I will make you pay with your blood.
Taking a deep breath, shaking the horse's reins, Liang Jiang went straight into Shangjing City and went straight to the palace.
