Chapter 658 The cunning rabbit’s last hole
"Artest, do you feel better today?"
Xiang Zhuang walked up to a man with a depressed look and asked in a low voice.
The man raised his head with a forced smile on his face: "Brother, it doesn't matter, I can still hold on!"
Xiang Zhuang nodded: "In three days at most, we can reach Yuezhou. Once we get there, we will be safe!"
"Zhu Chi, that bastard, will have to pay the price for this one day. If I don't kill all the Zhu family, it's hard to get rid of the hatred in my heart!" Another man came over with a pot of water and said bitterly.
"What's the use of saying harsh words? We must survive first, and then we can talk about revenge!" Xiang Zhuang took the kettle, took a sip himself, and handed it to the wounded man named Atai, saying.
"Brother, we have already gotten rid of their large army. Those who want to be stragglers are no match for us!" The man who came later sat down on the ground. "Our Xiang family is not easily defeated. We were caught off guard by them some time ago."
Xiang Zhuang remained silent. This time, Xiang's defeat was not simply caught off guard, but was planned from beginning to end.
A perfect cooperation between the two major forces Li Dachui, Jiang Qian and Na Wei.
Or from the moment Li Dachui and Jiang Qian arrived in Ruyin, Yongan, these plans had already been put on the agenda and implemented step by step.
Thinking about what happened these days, Xiang Zhuang only felt a little chilly.
Three-pronged attack on Ruyin Yongan,
The navy was defeated,
Na Wei withdrew his troops from Ruyin,
Li Dachui and Jiang Qian surrounded Yong'an County,
Na Wei returned to Danyang to seize power,
Li Dachui intercepted the ball halfway and seriously injured Xiang Ying,
Xiang Ying was intercepted by the witch on his way to escape,
Xiang Ying died in battle,
Na Wei and Zhu Chi began to clean up the Xiang family with great force,
Piece by piece, piece by piece, every link is so closely connected and coordinated so seamlessly.
The most powerful strength of the Xiang family was basically concentrated in Danyang and its surroundings. It no longer exists. However, the Xiang family has naturally been secretly operating several other bases, some of which are real, some fake, some powerful. Weak, Yuezhou is the Xiang family's last trump card.
And there are no more than ten people in the entire Xiang family who know this.
Although the person who controls Yuezhou is not named Xiang, he is of the upright Xiang family. Every year, the Xiang family uses various means to inject enough funds into Yuezhou, transport the best weapons and armor, and seal the country. There are enough weapons to arm tens of thousands of people.
These methods were originally prepared by the Xiang family to prevent falling out with the Xiong family,
For hundreds of years, it has grown from scratch, from small to large, from weak to strong.
Later, the Xiong family gradually became weaker and the Xiang family gradually became stronger, but this kind of preparation became a kind of inertia and never stopped.
Xiang Zhuang originally thought that this place would never be used,
Unexpectedly, it has now become Xiang's life-saving straw.
Xiang Zhuang clenched his fist silently. When he arrived in Yuezhou, he could reorganize his army. During this period, although many Xiang clan members scattered across the country were arrested and killed, there were still many Xiang clan members. , subordinates may flee or hide. As long as the banner of Yuezhou is raised, these stunned people will have a backbone, centripetal force and cohesion.
By that time, I want people like Na Wei and Zhu Chi to know what the heritage of a thousand-year-old clan is!
Is Xiong willing to be manipulated by Na Wei and become a puppet?
Are the other wealthy families in Da Chu willing to humble themselves and act small in front of Na Wei?
Of course not.
"Let's go, Wang Fang has already left early. Yuezhou will send experts to pick us up. The closer we get to Yuezhou, the safer we will be!" Xiang Zhuang reached out from his neck and took out the jade that Xiang Ying gave him. Talisman, held tightly in hand. The group of people waited, got on their horses, and galloped away in the direction of Yuezhou.
Jiang Chong was sitting in a roadside shed drinking a large bowl of tea for a penny.
The shed is very simple, with a few wooden stakes stuck into the ground, surrounded by mats, and a bed of wild thatch tied up on top, and some clay is put on it, which can protect it from wind and rain.
Tea leaves are made from minced seeds. Needless to say, the color of the brewed tea is extremely bitter when you drink it. However, for ordinary travelers, in such weather, just a bowl of hot water is enough to make the spleen and stomach feel better. Relaxed.
This year, there have been drastic changes in Dachu, and there are even fewer travelers. Jiang Chong has been sitting here for a long time, and he has only seen three or five people, and now he is the only one left in the shed.
It's just that he gave me a lot of money, so the old man selling tea seemed very attentive and deliberately lit the fire very brightly, making the whole shed warm.
Take a sip of tea, cough twice, pause for a while, and then take another sip of tea.
The injuries on my body are troublesome.
The last battle in Chibi, if I hadn't made a decisive decision, I might not have been able to go back.
Jiang Qian is so insidious,
He pretended to be in a bad situation to lure himself into the trap, but he ambushed two innate masters in the fleet to plot against him.
Jiang Chong sighed,
Even if you beat the snake, you won't die, but you will be bitten by it in the end,
Thinking of Jiang Qian's ruthlessness and Li Dachui's cunningness, Jiang Chong felt that his future was dark.
But I have no way out,
During the Danyang coup, too many of Jiang Qian's confidants died in his own hands, especially He Han. Others didn't know about this person's relationship with Jiang Qian, but Jiang Chong knew it.
Even if he knelt in front of Jiang Qian and begged for forgiveness, the witch would never let him go.
Only by struggling all the way forward and protecting Da Chu can we save the Jiang family.
But now that Xiang Ying is dead and the Xiang family has collapsed, if he wants to keep Dachu, he can only support Na Wei with all his strength.
That boy Zhu Chi is right when he says that if Chu is not defeated, the Jiang family will be able to continue.
But now if we want Da Chu to survive, we have to kill Xiang Zhuang and the others first. Otherwise, Xiang Zhuang will take revenge on Na Wei, and the whole Da Chu will be involved. Da Chu can only take tonics now, and absolutely not I’m taking laxatives again!
There is no second option.
"The official has been coughing. I have a home remedy here!" The old tea seller came over, holding a steamed bun in his hand.
"Oh, what's the remedy?" Jiang Chong asked with a smile.
"Put the steamed buns on the fire and roast them slowly, roast them into charcoal, then crush them and take them with water. It may be effective!" The old man said: "The little old man also coughs sometimes. Taking medicine is too expensive. Someone told me This prescription is really effective. If you don’t get better with other medicines, you might as well give it a try.”
"Okay, let's try it today!" Jiang Chong took the steamed bun with a smile and handed the old man a silver coin.
The old man waved his hands repeatedly: "The officials have already given me a lot. If I give more, I won't feel at ease even if I keep it! Only when you are content can you always be happy!"
Jiang Chong looked at the old man with some surprise. The old man rubbed his hands and looked very embarrassed.
"Yes, you will always be happy when you are content with what you have!" Jiang Chongruo realized something, "This is the best, but some people want to be content and happy but can't do it!"
There was the sound of horse hooves outside, and the old man walked to the shed, lifted the curtain of Mia Xi, and looked outside.
A carriage stopped outside.
Seeing the man driving the car, the expression on Jiang Chong's face suddenly changed.
