Chapter 495: Steal the chicken but eat the rice instead
And soon, Nan Xingkuang got dressed.
He ordered the guards to get his Overlord's Gun. Holding the Overlord's Gun in his hand, he stood on the observation deck and shouted, "Stop all of you."
As he shouted loudly, the people fighting below stopped.
The soldiers in the Jiangnan camp carried away the injured soldiers in an orderly manner, lined up in teams, and surrounded Bai Jingtian and others.
Bai Jingtian and others were in a mess in the circle, everyone was crowded back to back in fear, and they were in a panic.
This contest between the two sides is a decisive battle.
Nan Xingkuang said coldly, "Dear officers and brothers in Jiangnan City, as officers, there is no need for you to fight to the death with our soldiers. If you have the energy, it is better to stay on the battlefield and kill the enemy. Now I will give you the opportunity to leave." , otherwise they will be shot without mercy.”
"Thank you, General, for not killing me." All the officials thanked him in unison.
Then they ran away like dogs, leaving Bai Jingtian and the others behind.
Bai Jingtian stood there with a long knife in his hand, his face ashen. He really didn't expect that Nan Xingkuang had such incredible prestige in the Jiangnan area. Just saying a few words could scare the shit out of these officials. .
At this moment, he also realized that it would be impossible for him to bring people to catch Nan Xing Kuang tonight.
Nan Xingkuang jumped down from the observation deck and landed steadily in front of Bai Jingtian. He waved his Overlord gun and pointed it at him and said, "Whoever is coming, tell me your name."
"Bai Jingtian, commander of the Imperial Guards. Tonight, on the order of the second prince, I am here to take you to the Yushi Mansion for questioning." Bai Jingtian raised the golden order in his hand and said.
"What crime do I have that the Second Prince must hold me accountable for?" Nan Xingkuang asked coldly.
"This is the second prince's fiefdom. If you are in his fiefdom and disobey his orders, deploy troops and generals without authorization, and blockade the Jiangnan area, isn't it a violation of military orders?" Bai Jingtian said.
Nan Xingkuang laughed disdainfully and said, "It's a joke, this general will never obey the orders of any prince except the emperor. Let alone your second prince, even the prince's order, I will treat it as nonsense. Blockade the Jiangnan area, but It was an order given to me by the emperor. I only acted in accordance with the military order. Why did I violate the order when I came to the Second Prince? "
"What? Is this an order from the emperor?" Bai Jingtian said in surprise.
Obviously, he never expected that the military order to blockade the Jiangnan area actually came from the emperor.
You know, now that the emperor has retreated behind the scenes and temporarily handed over the management of political affairs to the prince, they thought that this military order was secretly issued by the prince.
But judging from the current situation, they were indeed wrong.
Nan Xingkuang didn't want to talk nonsense anymore and directly glared at Bai Jingtian and said, "You are already committing a capital crime by attacking my Jiangnan camp at night. If you are captured without mercy now, I will be punished severely by this general. If not, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"General, if that's the case, then I'm going to learn your clever tricks." Bai Jingtian took Jin Ling into his arms and said with a long sword in his hand.
He knew in his heart that if he didn't win a fierce battle with Nan Xing here tonight, it would be impossible for him and his few Ouchi guards to leave safely.
Nan Xingkuang sneered and said, "Yes, if you are brave, then come on! As long as you defeat me, I will let you go as if nothing happened tonight."
"General, I'm offended." Bai Jingtian shouted. After saying that, he jumped up, waved the long knife in his hand and rushed forward.
Nan Xingkuang also became interested and stepped forward to meet the attack.
"Boring, boring, boring..."
As soon as the two sides came into contact, the weapons in their hands clashed fiercely, causing a series of deafening boring sounds.
Several Ouchi guards quickly retreated, not daring to get too close to the two of them. After all, these two were both top-notch physical warriors. The current battle they were fighting was no longer something that small minions like them could participate in. ……
After midnight, in the study in the backyard of the Yushi Mansion.
At this time, Xuanyuan Lie was anxiously walking around in front of the desk. Yan Xishan and Guo Huai were sitting beside them, their faces also pale, as if they were sitting on pins and needles.
The hundreds of officials who had escaped earlier had sent people to report to them that Bai Jingtian and others had been besieged in the Jiangnan camp. More than two hours had passed, and Bai Jingtian and others had not returned yet, which meant that They are probably already in danger.
How could this not make them anxious?
Just as the three of them were anxious, a soldier in armor broke into the study.
"Who are you? Dare to break into my Censor's Mansion? Someone is coming! Someone is coming."
As soon as Yan Xishan saw the soldier coming in, he was so frightened that he stood up quickly and shouted at the door.
The soldier walked up to the three of them and said, "Master Yan, there is no need to shout. I have already taken care of your people. You can take your servants to take care of them in a while."
"Ah? This..." Yan Xishan was so frightened that his face turned pale as a sheet, and he sat where he was and didn't dare to move at all.
The soldier looked at Xuanyuan Lie and said, "Second Prince, my general has asked me to tell you that your men have been captured. If you want them to be safe, the three of you will personally take a man named Gu with you tomorrow morning. Chan's little beggar goes to Jiangnan camp to find him, otherwise you will go to the east city gate to collect the bodies for them at noon tomorrow, and you will not wait for the rest of the day."
"Okay, okay, what a Nanxing Kuang! As expected of the Jiangnan General, you really have the guts to even touch my people, right!" Xuanyuan Lie gritted his teeth and shouted angrily.
"Second Prince, my general has given you a lot of respect, otherwise those people wouldn't be alive now. Just take care of yourself!" the soldier said coldly.
After saying that, he turned around and walked away majestically, leaving only Xuanyuan Lie and the three of them, looking at each other in a daze.
It was only now that they understood that Nan Xingkuang, the Jiangnan general, was not as easy to handle as they imagined. On the contrary, he had a powerful strength that was not inferior to Bai Jingtian, and he had methods that were not weaker than the prince's ruthlessness. As for his mind, He is probably not much weaker than the Ninth Prince Xuanyuan Qing.
Facing such a powerful opponent, they were completely in trouble this time. They could not steal the chicken but eat the rice instead!
The three of them were silent for a long time. At a certain moment, Yan Xishan, who was the first to come back to his senses, said, "It's strange. When did this Nan Xing Kuang hook up with Gu Chan again, and he asked you to be my master by name tomorrow?" Take him to Jiangnan Camp, what’s going on?”
"Sure enough, he has already turned to the prince. The prince wants him to protect Gu Chan!" Guo Huai stiffened his face and let out a long sigh, which was completely smart nonsense.
But Xuanyuan Lie and Yan Xishan still believed it.
Both of them now believe that Gu Chan must have colluded with Nan Xingkuang. They are just obeying the prince's orders and want to capture the Jiangnan area for the prince!
