Chapter 56: You scared His Highness.
Jiang Jinshuang was dressed in green clothes with a dark fox fur covering.
As she walked outside the house, she asked Chuntao coldly: "Who sent the news?"
"My servant doesn't know. I just heard a noise at the door. When I went out to check, I saw an arrow stuck in the ground, with this line of words on the arrow."
With that said, Chuntao handed the note to Jiang Jinshuang.
Opening the note, there was only one sentence written on it: If you want to save Si Ning, come pick the moon tower.
Jiang Jinshuang frowned more tightly, as if thinking of something, Jiang Jinshuang stopped.
Glancing at the guard at the gate, she pulled out the long knife from the guard's waist and coldly ordered Chuntao beside her: "Stay guard in the house. I'll be back as soon as I go."
Chuntao looked worried: "Your Highness, would you like to bring more people over?"
When Jiang Jinshuang heard this, she just raised her eyes and glanced at the deep night.
"Inkstone Jue." She said slowly.
The wind was blowing.
In the blink of an eye, a man dressed in black stood firmly in front of Jiang Jinshuang.
There was no expression on his face, he just held a broken sword and remained silent.
"Follow me."
Yanjue nodded slightly, said nothing, and followed Jiang Jinshuang into the night.
——
Picking the Moon Tower.
A bright moon hung high on the roof of the building, and the bright moonlight seemed to be strangulating someone.
In the endless pavilion, only one floor was lit with candles.
Through the faint night fog, it is like a mottled ghost lamp, looming.
Jiang Jinshuang pressed the handle of the knife in her hand and walked towards Zhaiyue Tower.
But before she could take a few more steps, a dozen masked men in black in front of her showed their swords and made an attack gesture.
Jiang Jinshuang pursed her lips slightly and said to Yanjue beside her: "Leave it to you, I will save people."
Without saying a word, Yan Jue took out the seven-point broken sword from his waist and faced the dozen men in black indifferently.
Jiang Jinshuang just walked forward. A man in black came to block her way. In the next second, he was repulsed by Inkstone, leaving her unimpeded!
These men in black are very skilled, but they are no match for Inkstone.
Jiang Jinshuang looked at the trembling and towering floors. Without thinking any more, she jumped up and climbed the stairs lightly by stepping on the tiles on the eaves!
Entering the floor with the fire, Jiang Jinshuang also drew out her scimitar, looking alert.
Suddenly, the candlelight in the room shook.
The next second, Jiang Jinshuang turned around suddenly and attacked the person behind her who wanted to sneak attack!
"Zheng——"
The cold weapons collided together and made a buzzing sound!
The visitor also had his face covered, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.
Jiang Jinshuang's tone was solemn: "Where is Si Ning?"
The visitor sneered and flipped the long knife in his hand: "If you want to know, beat me first and then talk!"
Before he could finish his words, someone came with a long knife and attacked again!
Jiang Jinshuang saw the right opportunity and raised the long knife in her hand. The person holding the knife tightened the handle!
The fox fur on his body fell to the ground.
She became a little angry, and her men stopped holding back. The sword was deadly!
The attacker was able to counterattack a few times at first, but later it became difficult to even block!
Jiang Jinshuang spotted a flaw and slashed the person's neck with her long knife!
Just when the blade was about to touch the visitor's throat, a hurried voice came from behind: "Your Highness!"
It's Si Ning!
When Jiang Jinshuang heard the voice, she frowned and took off the hilt of the knife!
The blade circled around the man's neck and returned to Jiang Jinshuang's other hand!
She frowned and turned around to glance at Si Ning, who was unharmed.
After realizing it, Jiang Jinshuang seemed to realize something. She raised her hand and cut open the mask of the masked man in front of her with a knife!
Seeing the face of the visitor, Jiang Jinshuang's eyes widened: "Uncle Si!?"
——It turned out to be Si Ning’s father, the head of the Jiangnan Si family, Si Beihuan! ?
Why did he come to Chang'an City! ?
Jiang Jinshuang was so anxious that she didn't even have time to take a closer look.
Now that I reacted, I realized that the man in front of me had his arm completely broken at his right shoulder, and he was holding the knife with his left hand just now.
Before she had time to think about it, Jiang Jinshuang remembered the inkstone technique downstairs and hurried to the window!
Downstairs, Yanjue was dressed in black, with his long hair tied up by a silver crown, looking neat and tidy.
He held the seven-part broken sword in his hand and showed no mercy in every move.
In just a short time, most of the dozen or so men in black were injured!
He took action again, and the sword blade stabbed straight at the man in black!
Seeing this, Jiang Jinshuang hurriedly shouted: "Inkstone Jue, keep your hands!"
"Ding——" sound.
The originally straight sword shifted instantly, and it was just using the hilt to repel the attacker!
Yanjue held the broken sword with a sword flower in his hand, and swung the sword down, and the broken sword was neatly put back into the scabbard.
He didn't look at the group of men in black in front of him, he just raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Jinshuang above. Jiang Jinshuang smiled and waved her hand towards him.
Yanjue understood, lowered his eyes slightly, and then jumped up and disappeared into the moonlight again.
——It’s like it never happened.
A dozen men in black downstairs dragged their wounds and retreated.
Jiang Jinshuang then turned to look at Si Beihuan in front of him.
Si Ning looked at the 30-year-old man in front of him and shook his head helplessly: "Father, what are you doing?"
As he spoke, Si Ning hurriedly walked to Jiang Jinshuang, picked up the fox fur on the ground, dusted it, and put it on Jiang Jinshuang again.
Si Beihuan laughed loudly and put the long knife back into its sheath.
"Isn't it because I'm worried that the little princess can't take care of you, so dad wants to test it out!"
Si Beihuan had good swordsmanship and was the number one swordsman in Jiangnan when he was young.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Although his arm was broken now, he didn't expect that Jiang Jinshuang could not survive ten moves.
He knew that Princess Zhaoming should have some martial arts skills, but he didn't expect her to be so advanced.
He looked at Jiang Jinshuang meaningfully and narrowed his eyes: "Where did your highness learn your martial arts?"
Jiang Jinshuang sighed and sheathed her scimitar.
Si Ning took a few steps forward, looking a little helpless: "Father, you scared His Highness."
Si Beihuan glanced at Jiang Jinshuang who looked calm: "..."
Jiang Jinshuang still has a hundred respects for the head of the Jiangnan Si family.
She smiled and nodded towards Si Beihuan: "Uncle Si, why are you in the capital?"
She actually didn't hear any news at all.
Having said this, Si Beihuan's face darkened a bit: "I'm not the only one coming to the capital this time."
Jiang Jinshuang's eyes rolled.
"Is King Changping here too?" she asked coldly.
Si Beihuan nodded, with a stern expression: "Since the death of King Ruiyang three years ago, King Changping has been living in seclusion in his own fiefdom due to his ill health."
After a pause, Si Beihuan continued: "But recently, there have been a lot of changes in the fiefdom of King Changping, and he is actually coming to the capital in the past few days."
Jiang Jinshuang fumbled with the handle of the knife at her waist, her eyes calm: "It seems that King Changping also heard the sound and moved."
Everyone in the court thought that the tiger talisman was in Jiang Jinshuang's hand.
When she was in Bai Yujing before, she was assassinated constantly.
Now that she has arrived in the capital, all forces are ready to move and have begun to gather in the capital.
——They are all here for the Tiger Talisman.
Si Beihuan's face softened slightly: "My coming to Beijing was arranged secretly by His Majesty, and no one knows about it."
"Now that I have entered the capital, I have to go to the palace to see the saint first."
Jiang Jinshuang nodded and bowed slightly towards Si Beihuan: "Uncle Si, walk slowly."
Si Beihuan glanced at Jiang Jinshuang again, then turned to Si Ning: "My son, has this little princess ever bullied you?"
Si Ning was one of the few younger members of the Si family in Jiangnan, and Si Beihuan was an old man and loved Si Ning very much.
Si Ning smiled helplessly: "Father, His Highness has been very kind to me. Your Highness will be sad if you test me like this tonight."
Si Beihuan snorted and smacked his lips unhappily.
Without saying anything else, Si Beihuan picked up his machete and left.
For a moment, she and Si Ning were the only two people left on the huge floor.
Seeing Si Beihuan's retreating figure, Si Ning bowed slightly towards Jiang Jinshuang: "Your Highness, don't be surprised, I don't know about what happened today."
"Father sent a letter today, saying that he has come to the capital and wants to meet at Zhaiyue Tower."
"After I came for the appointment, my father arranged for me to stay upstairs. I heard Qian Yao's reply below and realized that my father was testing you."
Jiang Jinshuang waved her hand nonchalantly: "Uncle Si is just worried about your safety. I understand."
The night is thick.
Jiang Jinshuang looked at the moonlight in the distance and said solemnly: "Let's go back home first. It seems that the government and the public will be uneasy tomorrow."
