Chapter 271 Jiang Wan’s Secret
Before Yang Wufu captured Qingzhou, civil strife had already broken out in the city.
A government official ran to Shanziying and informed the prince that his residence was besieged by a mob. After hearing the news, General Zhao immediately led his troops to rescue. However, not long after leaving, a mutiny broke out in Shanziying.
Deputy general Xu Wenchun rebelled.
At the same time, other forces lurking in Qingzhou surfaced.
For a time, this city, which was still bustling with music and singing night after night, fell into unprecedented turmoil at this moment.
When Yuan Anjiang received the news, General Zhao and his cronies who were originally sent to rescue the prince were besieged in Minghuan Street, Dongcheng, and deputy general Xu Wenchun was persuading them to surrender.
At this time, Yuan Anjiang already knew that the situation in Qingzhou was over.
And he also completely understood the other party's conspiracy plan.
No matter how hard he and Jiang Mo try, the other side always occupies the dominant position in the game.
They just need to find a reasonable reason to let General Yang lead the army into Qingzhou City.
As long as they find a reasonable excuse to let the city defense army open the city gate...
In short, the Shanzi camp will definitely mutiny, the prince will definitely be surrounded, and the Fengtou camp will definitely come to rescue, The city gate must be opened... This is a dead end.
Even without the prince, all these plans can be implemented.
Yuan Anjiang slumped in a chair, the chill spreading from the depths of his bones, invading his muscles and bones, shrouding his whole body in a cold abyss.
"Why is this happening?"
He looked blankly at the fading night outside the door, and seemed to be able to hear the chaotic sound of horse hooves galloping through the streets and alleys of Qingzhou.
It is estimated that soon, we will reach the six doors.
This rebellion has obviously been planned for a long time, but the court is completely unaware of it?
What exactly is the problem?
"What to do? What to do?"
Commander Shen was like an ant on a hot pot, walking back and forth in the room, mumbling constantly.
The situation on the prince's side is currently unknown. If an accident happens, his ten heads will not be enough to chop off.
Whoosh!
A black shadow suddenly appeared in the living room.
The person who came was an old man in his fifties, wearing a green robe, with long hair shawl, exuding a melancholy atmosphere.
Commander Shen, who was just about to take action, saw the old man's face clearly, and his expression suddenly changed. Then he knelt on the ground and saluted respectfully: "I have met Mr. Zuo!"
Yuan Anjiang's eyes narrowed. .
It was actually Cang Zuo, one of the two inner guards.
Among the inner guards of the imperial court, the two ambassadors on the left and right are the highest officials of the inner guard. Their cultivation is said to be second only to Zhao Wuxiu and the Queen, and comparable to the two sages of Confucianism and Soldiers.
Yuan Anjiang was surprised and immediately said:
"Envoy Cang Zuo, there is a rebellion in Qingzhou, and the prince's residence is besieged. We must immediately..."
"The prince has left Qingzhou." Cang Zuo Shi said calmly.
What! ?
The two people in the room were stunned.
Judging from the latest news, the rebels have already surrounded Qingzhou. The prince with the most special status should be the one receiving the most attention. How could he escape so quickly?
Emissary Cang Zuo did not explain anything and said to Yuan Anjiang: "Master Yuan, I am here to pick you up."
"Pick me up?"
"Yes, I have a way to take you out of Qingzhou."
"But..." Yuan Anjiang frowned, "What will Jiang Mo and the others do? What about Master Ran and the others? What will happen to the people of Qingzhou?"< br>
"I am only responsible for taking you away." Cang Zuo said calmly.
Before Yuan Anjiang could continue to ask, Cang Zuo waved his arm lightly, causing the other party to pass out.
Commander Shen asked in a low voice: "Master Zuo, shall we withdraw together?"
"No, you stay to carry out the mission."
Cang Zuo took Send a secret letter to Commander Shen, "Find Jiang Mo and kill him! Except for Jiang Mo, everyone on this list... must be eliminated."
"Yes."
Commander Shen nodded heavily.
——
Listening to the distant and near sounds of horse hooves and fighting outside, Jiang Shouzhong sighed helplessly.
After all, I still underestimated the enemy.
But I am safe here.
After all, he is Jiang Yi now and is with the rebels.
Qingzhou can't save him, so he can only find a way to seize the amber bead from Wanyan Wuhai and see if he can find an opportunity to kill him.
Ran Qingchen originally wanted to stay, but Jiang Shouzhong insisted that she and Li Nanshuang be together.
Perhaps seeing Dugu Luoxue’s strong cultivation, the woman was not stubborn this time. However, before leaving, she still emphasized that as long as Jiang Shouzhong did not leave, she would never leave Qingzhou.
Around Chen hour, the sky was already bright and the rain was still falling.
A carriage stopped at the entrance of the small courtyard.
This time it was not Liu Wuxu who came to pick him up, but the fat businessman named Zhang Fuwang.
“Brother Jiang, I’ve kept you waiting for a long time.”
Zhang Fuwang, who was as fat as a hill, did not get off the carriage. He pulled back the curtain to reveal his big face and said with a smile, “Wanyan Young Master and Miss Liu have already gone to the underground palace. I’ll pick you up.”
Jiang Shouzhong nodded and entered the carriage.
Although the carriage was very forgiving, because Zhang Fuwang was so fat that almost half of the box was filled, Jiang Shouzhong had to sit at the door.
Especially this fat man had two half-dressed girls in his arms.
Zhang Fuwang is undoubtedly very lustful.
And it’s to the point where one’s bones are almost filled with lust.
According to the investigation information Jiang Yi gave him at that time, this guy even had thoughts about his own girl when he was young.
It can be said that this guy cannot do without women at all times.
In the Buddhist hall of Gufan Temple, although he said that he did not dare to offend the eldest princess, his lustful eyes secretly glanced at the eldest princess hundreds of times.
Jiang Shouzhong, who was sitting next to him, could see clearly.
However, just such a person helped Jiang Shouzhong a lot.
Normally, no one would be able to tell that Liu Wuxu was a man.
Including Jiang Shouzhong himself.
It can be found through investigation that Liu Wuxu has never been touched by a man since she entered Jinsexie and became the oiran. Of course, it is understandable that many Qinghuan people keep themselves clean.
But Liu Wuxu’s cleanliness reached a terrifying level.
Although he behaves coquettishly, he wears very tight clothes. You obviously want to seduce someone, but you never pay any physical reward. Every time the other party wants to touch him, something unexpected happens.
Jiang Shouzhong has proved it before.
At that time, he went to grab the other party's wrist, but the maid's shout came from outside the door at the right time.
It shows that he is afraid that others will discover his true identity.
But the reason why Jiang Shouzhong was sure that Liu Wuxu was a man was mainly based on observing the fat man in front of him.
There are only two things in this world that cannot lie.
One is a dead person and the other is eyes.
Whether it was in the Buddhist hall of the ancient Buddhist temple or on the second floor of Jinse Pavilion when he watched Liu Wuxu being selected as the guest of honor, he had secretly observed the fat businessman.
The lustful Zhang Fuwang will always take a peek at any beautiful woman.
He would look at the eldest princess, Princess Yingmo, Qing Niang, and even the pretty maid who was serving tea and pouring water.
On the contrary, every time it fell on Liu Wuxu, the other person's eyes no longer had that lustful look, but instead showed ridicule and even disgust.
Why would a normal man, an extremely lustful man, show such eyes to Qingzhou's charming oiran... The result is self-evident.
Because Zhang Fuwang knew that Liu Wuxu was a man.
“You don’t seem surprised?”
Zhang Fuwang interrupted Jiang Shouzhong’s meditation and asked with a smile.
"What are you surprised about?" Jiang Shouzhong asked.
Zhang Fuwang raised the curtains, looked at the cavalry figures flashing by from time to time, and said, "General Zhao, who was supposed to be a rebel, turned into the famous General Yang Wufu."
Jiang Shouzhong said: "I have seen Wanyan. After becoming the Young Master, there is nothing surprising. I am not surprised by anything he can do."
Zhang Fuwang laughed and opened the clothes of the girl in his arms in front of Jiang Shouzhong: "I originally thought. You will be nervous and specially choose a girl to comfort you, but now it seems to be a waste."
"They are all deaf, right" Jiang Shouzhong said.
Zhang Fuwang looked surprised: "How did you tell?"
Jiang Shouzhong leaned against the car wall and said calmly: "A woman like you who never leaves your body is most likely to leak secrets to others. Therefore, only a deaf person can make people feel at ease."
"Papa..."
Zhang Fuwang clapped his big hands, "Awesome, awesome, Brother Jiang is really not a fool."
He buried his head in the girl's arms and asked in a low voice: "What do you think of Nan Jinguo?" Will the army come? "
Jiang Shouzhong shook his head: "How do I know?"
Zhang Fuwang raised his head and said with a smile:
"Brother Jiang, do you think this action of little Prince Wanyan was granted by the Nanjin Kingdom behind his back?"
Jiang Shouzhong frowned slightly and did not answer. .
Zhang Fuwang knew the inside story very well, and did not deliberately show off. He said slowly: "The Emperor of the Southern Jin Kingdom has twenty-two sons, and only four or five of them can really succeed. Now that the emperor's health is deteriorating, naturally there are some Ready to move.
If you want to sit on the throne, you need to win over some forces in the court. To put it bluntly, while proving your abilities, you must also ensure the interests of all parties. Wanyan Wuhai is an illegitimate child. The prince is at a disadvantage in the struggle for power, so he must work hard to prove himself and show his true ability to those people
Qingzhou is a bargaining chip, a bargaining chip to prove his ability. He captured a city of Dazhou Dynasty without using any soldiers from Nanjin Kingdom. Other princes really didn't have this ability.
At present, there are two major factions in Nanjin Kingdom, the war faction and the peace faction. The main war faction hopes to tear up the alliance and attack the continent. The peace faction still hopes to become allies with Dazhou.
Wanyan Wuhai needs the support of certain forces from the main war faction. Only in this way can he gain military power. ”
Jiang Shouzhong understood.
In fact, Wanyan Wuhai didn't have any troops at all. Even if he did, he would have to borrow them from others.
So he brought General Yang and the others onto the pirate ship purely as a blank check.
It sounds simple, but it is really difficult to implement. Every move must be made carefully. We have to defend Dazhou, the Nanjin Court, and win over the rebels...
I have to say, this Wanyan Wuhai is really powerful.
The carriage slowly passed through a street. The ground was covered with blood and corpses. The morning wind blew through, bringing with it the smell of blood.
The city fell into an inexplicable dead silence.
Zhang Fuwang continued: "Now that the little prince has proven himself, some people in the court will naturally bet on him. As for when the Nanjin Kingdom will send troops, it depends on the discussion there.
But Brother Jiang, why do you think General Yang agreed to cooperate with the little prince? Why did he leave a good general to become a rebel?”
There is speculation in Jiang Shou Center, but there is still some speculation. He shook his head and said: "I don't know, maybe I want more."
Zhang Fuwang smiled and said: "It is understandable that people go to higher places. In the battle with Nanjin Kingdom, General Yang was clearly not at fault. But he was still implicated and sent to Fengcheng.
If you say that he has no grudge against the Dazhou court, you won't even believe it. In addition, his official career has basically come to an end, and it is very difficult to climb up.
More importantly, our General Yang is a seed of infatuation, not an ordinary seed of infatuation.
The reason why he rebelled was not only for years of resentment and wanting to gain more, but also for the one he loved. Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty, but I don’t understand this beauty..."
Zhang Fuwang stopped talking.
After all, the current Jiang Yi of Longevity Mountain and River is Liu It was caused by Wu Xu's seduction, and he couldn't afford to do anything bad if he didn't take advantage of it.
"In short, the world will soon be in chaos."
Zhang Fuwang grinned.
......
The carriage stopped in a remote forest.
There are many soldiers guarding here.
There were some corpses hanging on the trees on both sides, some of them wearing official uniforms and some wearing armor.
Getting off the carriage, Zhang Fuwang moved his fat body and led Jiang Shouzhong to a secret passage. The secret passage has been re-excavated and is very wide, enough to accommodate three to five people.
Jiang Shouzhong secretly said: "It seems that this is another entrance to the underground palace."
I remember that when they snatched the dragon egg last time, Prince Zhou Yan and the others entered through another entrance. underground palace.
After about half a stick of incense, the two appeared at the underground palace altar.
Originally this place was bombed into ruins, but now it has been renovated and two stone statues have been erected.
“Brother Jiang!”
Wanyan Wuhai, who had been waiting here for a long time, saw Jiang Shouzhong, greeted him enthusiastically, and asked with a smile, “How are you, Brother Jiang, are you still here now? Do you think I’m talking big?”
Jiang Shouzhong praised: “It’s really amazing.”
He looked around and saw no Liu Wuxu in the altar except for a few guards.
Wanyan Wuhai stretched out his hand: "What about Brother Jiang? Did you bring something like that?"
Jiang Shouzhong put his fist on his lips and spit out the amber bead, but did not hand it to the other party's hand. He said lightly:
"This bead is valuable. It took me a long time to convince my master to lend it to me. If I lose it, I will have no shame in going back to see her."
The implication is very clear. , I don’t feel comfortable leaving it to you.
Wanyan Wuhai nodded with a smile and retracted his hand:
"Understood. This prince also knows that Brother Jiang doesn't trust us very much yet, so in order to show his sincerity, I will give this bead to Brother Jiang for safekeeping."
As he said this, he turned his palm over and A crystal amber bead appeared in the palm of his hand.
Wanyan Wuhai handed the beads to Jiang Shouzhong.
Jiang Shouzhong’s eyes flashed.
This bead is definitely real.
Because the moment the other party took it out, he could feel the bead in his hand reacting.
This guy trusts me so much?
Jiang Shouzhong was very surprised.
However, since the other party has been planning to seize Qingzhou for so long, it is obvious that they will not trust others easily. It is estimated that this group has some hidden tricks to get back the bead.
Jiang Shouzhong took the amber bead and asked: "How to do it?"
"Brother Jiang, follow me."
Wanyan Wuhai turned and walked towards a stone room.
Jiang Shouzhong followed.
Entering the stone chamber, there is a stone platform about one meter high, with four skulls placed on the stone platform.
Four skulls stacked on top of each other.
There is a blood-red plate on top.
Wanyan Wuhai said: "Brother Jiang only needs to put two amber beads on the plate. After the formation is activated, the Demon Lord will naturally feel it.
Jiang Brother, if you are afraid of losing the amber bead, you can keep it here. This prince can guarantee Brother Jiang’s safety. After all, we will continue to cooperate in the future.”
“Where are you going?”
Jiang Shouzhongda. He placed his thumb lightly on the dragon-slaying ring, hesitating whether to do it now.
After all, the amber bead has been obtained.
Now that they are alone together again, it is a good opportunity to make a move.
But he felt vaguely that something was wrong.
Wanyan Wuhai acted too casually. If it were him, he would definitely put safety first during such a critical period.
Wanyan Wuhai smiled and said: "I still need to place a magic weapon. If Brother Jiang is willing, you can come with me."
And a magic weapon?
Jiang Shouzhong hesitated for a moment, put the two beads on the plate, and casually found an excuse to say:
"I'm still worried that the Demon Lord will hurt me, so I'll go with you. , after all, you still have guards by your side."
Wanyan Wuhai glanced at the Amber Pearl and said with a smile: "No problem, I will let Brother Jiang see how the Demon Lord was captured."< br>
The two walked out of the stone room, and a guard came forward and said: "Your Highness, there are still people resisting in Qingzhou City. General Yang went on a killing spree in the city, and many people died..."
Before the guard could finish speaking, Wanyan Wuhai raised his hand to stop him and said calmly: "Let him kill."
"Yes."
The guard left in a hurry.
Jiang Shouzhong on the side became worried about Zhang Yunwu and Lao Jia.
……
In the chilly alley, General Zhang Yun wiped the blood on his ax casually, stepped over the body of a rebel soldier, and came to Lu Renjia's side.
Besides Lu Renjia, that sissy Rong Yuhe is also there.
Looking at the patrolling team not far away, his face turned pale.
“Damn, I’m afraid I’m going to die in Qingzhou.”
Lu Renjia spat and looked at Jin Sexie’s position. He was worried about Qing Niang’s safety and wished he could fly with wings. past.
Rong Yuhe raised his orchid finger and said timidly: "Lao Jia, why don't we surrender to the rebels first?"
"Surrender? You are so disgusting."
Lu Renjia said with an ugly face, " Do you really think that joining the rebels will allow you to survive?”
Rong Yuhe lowered his head and remained silent.
At this moment, Zhang Yunwu noticed something and turned around suddenly.
It was actually the Buddha Mother.
Buddha's mother looked at the bloody ax in Zhang Yunwu's hand and said softly: "Don't worry about me, I'm just waiting for someone to show up. It's almost time."
"You guys Let’s go first.”
Zhang Yunwu signaled Lu Renjia and his two men to leave.
He had a premonition that there would be blood and death next.
Zhang Yunwu stared at the other party and said slowly: "I know your target is me."
Buddha's mother said quietly:
"The man who achieved the great path back then has already embarked on his ascension. The bridge opened the gate of heaven, but he did not choose to become an immortal. Instead, he passed away and was cremated on the spot.
In the end, three reincarnated relics were obtained.
One relic was adopted by our protector. God's Angry Eyes were obtained and reincarnated
The other one was obtained by Jiang Wan, the peerless swordsman, but I don't know who she will be reincarnated into. "
Buddha's mother looked at Zhang Yunwu and continued:
"Last time I said that you would not have any more children of your own, I did not mean to curse or tease you, it was a fact.
Anyone who can successfully reincarnate using relics is infertile.
The guardian angel is like this, and so is Jiang Wan. ”
