Chapter 227 Accepting orders in danger
Under the cover of Yuzhu, Liang Jiang finally had the opportunity to talk to Xie Wan'er alone.
She told Xie Wan'er the Queen Mother's words concisely and solemnly handed over this secret decree concerning the world situation to Xie Wan'er. Please ask her to find a way to leave the escort, find Gu Xizhi, and convey the secret decree and the Queen Mother's words to him.
Xie Wan'er just hesitated for a moment and then refused.
"I can wait for an opportunity to leave the escort, but with the skills of a three-legged cat like me, if something happens in the middle, I can't deal with it at all. What's more, this secret order is very important. If it falls into the hands of others, everything will be lost. I can't bear the Queen Mother's trust."
Liang Jiang had no choice but to say: "At this point, there is no other way. I can only put all my money and take a risk."
Xie Wan'er grinned: "Who said there is no other way? Isn't there you?"
"Me?" Liang Jiang frowned: "If I can leave this place, I naturally don't need you to take risks."
"You are only a little taller than me. We change our clothes, you dress up like me, take my belt, and let the Queen Mother's people protect you. Can't we leave?"
"No," Liang Jiang refused again: "I am still valuable to them, and there is no risk to my life, but you are different."
"What time has it been? Give it back to my mother-in-law." Xie Wan'er said with a stern face: "Besides, I'm not doing this to save you, but for my cousin and for Chang'an Jiangshan Sheji. You can do the hard work, so don't be nagging. "Hurry up and change your clothes."
Liang Jiang did not expect that Xie Wan'er, who usually looked weird and unruly and willful, would be so calm, witty and courageous when encountering big events.
Yuzhu was on the side and echoed: "What this girl said is very reasonable. Princess, you are relatively familiar with the Weixi area. As long as you leave this place and can contact helpers to help you, why don't you take the risk?"
When things are urgent, Liang Jiang thinks it is feasible.
As long as he leaves this place, he can contact his fellow sects in Fengying Pavilion and Yuhua Mountain. Not only can he keep the imperial edict, but he can also find Gu Xizhi as quickly as possible.
He indeed has an advantage over Xie Wan'er.
So he agreed with a heart: "Princess Wan'er, I can only wrong you."
Yuzhu quietly reported back to the Queen Mother and arranged everything. The two immediately changed their costumes under the cover of Yuzhu.
Xie Wan'er covered her face with a handkerchief, lowered her head and fanned herself with a fan to cook the medicine.
After many twists and turns, Liang Jiang finally had the opportunity to leave the guard station.
Who knew that after the inspection, just after being released, someone blocked the way.
It turned out to be Tong Shouliang.
Seeing countless soldiers coming from all directions and surrounding him in the center, Liang Jiang knew that Tong Shouliang's departure was just a false shot.
He has always been under his control.
I just don't know if he knows about the secret decree given to him by the Queen Mother.
Liang Jiang was on guard: "So you didn't leave?"
Tong Shouliang sneered: "I knew there must be something fishy if the Queen Mother suddenly fell ill, and I definitely couldn't leave. Tell me, what did the Queen Mother send you to do?"
Liang Jiang was filled with the imperial edict and was extremely panicked. The Queen Mother had entrusted such an important task to herself, so she should not harm herself.
She pretended to be calm: "Of course I can't stay here and wait for death. I have to find a way to leave."
Tong Shouliang ordered the guards behind him: "Search yourself."
The escort immediately stepped forward.
Liang Jiang's eyes sharpened: "I am a second-grade princess personally conferred by the emperor. I wonder which of you would dare to be rude?"
Tong Shouliang curled his lips in contempt: "How dare you be so arrogant now. Do you think that Gu Xizhi will come to save you? He can't even save himself."
Liang Jiang looked panicked. Gu Xizhi knew that it was absolutely impossible to abandon him, but along the way, he had missed the best rescue opportunity, which meant that he had also encountered a very difficult problem and had too much time to take care of himself.
Liang Jiang's heart sank: "What do you mean by this?"
"Needless to say? Fang Chengxu came to Weixi this time and brought so many soldiers and horses, and he was not a vegetarian.
He had already led his troops to control the Weixi Army. If Gu Xizhi wants to dispatch troops and horses to rescue you, isn't that just throwing himself into a trap?
Even if he has been on the battlefield for many years and is invincible, he is still invincible with two fists. Now he is under siege and has too much time to take care of himself. How can he come to save you? I would like to advise you, stop playing tricks with me and cooperate with me honestly. Don't think that because you are Feng Nu, I can't kill you.
Daochang Li has found the location of the dragon vein and ordered people to dig the underground palace. You, a phoenix girl, are no longer useful. If you continue to be so scheming, don't blame me for being ruthless. "
Liang Jiang shrugged: "It seems that I don't have any need to struggle. But I have something to ask you."
"explain."
Liang Jiang narrowed his eyes slightly: "The construction of the underground palace is a big project that takes many years. Who is Daoist Master Li preparing the underground palace in such a hasty and hasty manner?"
"you guess?"
"How do I know?"
Tong Shouliang's tone became even colder: "No need to pretend, you should have guessed it a long time ago, right? I accidentally made a mistake today. How can the Queen Mother not be suspicious? But it doesn't matter if you know. I believe the Queen Mother will take the overall situation into consideration and do this." Self-sacrificing.”
After getting confirmation from Tong Shouliang, Liang Jiang felt chill in the seams of his bones, and felt chilled by the emperor's despicableness and cruelty.
She suddenly said behind Tong Shouliang: "Empress Dowager, did you hear that?"
Tong Shouliang twisted his face in surprise, and Liang Jiang suddenly shot at him and shot a boomerang.
Tong Shouliang seemed to be on guard. He didn't even look at her. He just tilted his head and easily dodged the hidden weapon. Then he shook the sword in his hand and was about to take action.
"Play tricks with me! Surrender!"
And the boomerang that flew away turned back with a strong wind and returned to Liang Jiang's hand.
Liang Jiang smiled evilly at him, and Tong Shou's conscience suddenly rang alarm bells, secretly saying that something was wrong.
Soon after, Liang Jiang's hand holding the dart shrank, and Tong Shouliang discovered that there was a long thread as thin as spider silk at the end of the dart.
Just now, the boomerang circled around him. Although he easily avoided it, the filament also circled around his neck.
Liang Jiang suddenly pulled back, and if the force was too strong, the filament might cut his throat.
He hurriedly shrank his head and raised his sword in one go. Although the thin thread did not hurt him, it caught the mask on his face and lifted it off, revealing his true face.
There was an exclamation of surprise all around.
Liang Jiang said bitterly: "You are indeed Tong Shouliang!"
When Tong Shouliang's identity was revealed, he didn't panic at all. He said coldly: "So what? Since you are seeking death, you can't blame me. Those who obey me will prosper and those who go against me will perish."
A flick of the sword will kill people and silence them.
Liang Jiang was not afraid and stepped forward, fighting with him instantly.
The masters exchange moves, you come and I move, and there are dozens of moves in an instant.
The guards on the side couldn't intervene at all.
Liang Jiang also complained in his heart. He absolutely could not miss it. Once the secret decree fell into his hands, he would definitely destroy it as soon as possible.
But if you want to leave, it is not easy to be alone.
The movement here had already alarmed the Queen Mother and Mrs. Liang. The group came in a panic, and the Queen Mother shouted angrily: "Stop!"
Tong Shouliang didn't take the Queen Mother seriously at all: "The Queen Mother, please don't interfere in this matter."
The Queen Mother broke away from Mrs. Liang and stood in front of Liang Jiang regardless of her own body: "How can the Ai family allow you to pretend to be a court official and issue orders in front of me?"
Tong Shouliang pointed his sword at the Queen Mother without hesitation: "If you insist on stopping me and ruining the emperor's important affairs, don't blame me for being rude. Come, please go to the mountain first and allow me to deal with the aftermath."
