Chapter 291: Confrontation at the city gate (second update)
A good horse is worth one hundred taels of silver.
Fortunately, Cui Hejin gave her the banknote, otherwise she would not be able to buy the horse now.
Of course Jiang Zhiluo only brought two banknotes, two hundred taels of silver, and she put the rest on the bedside.
She doesn’t know when she will go back, and she can’t let Cui Hejin and Mrs. Cui have no money in their hands.
I don’t know what Cui Hejin’s reaction will be when he finds out.
He looked cold and cold, but if he was unhappy, she could tell it.
So when I came out, I really didn’t dare to tell him this in person.
To put it bluntly, she was still a little timid when facing Cui Hejin.
Only because she owed him something in her previous life.
When Jiang Zhiluo thought of this, she had a headache.
But the riding will not stop.
Jiang Zhiluo almost rushed on her horse, not daring to stop at all.
When she was tired, she would drink the water from the spiritual spring herself and also give it to her horse.
Moreover, use the wood power to extract energy from the leaves and feed it to the horse.
The food she eats is also some of the food stored in her space.
Even if she eats something simple, she will give the horse better food.
Fortunately, with the spiritual spring water and the wood attribute, the horse can persevere.
Hurrying on horseback for five days, we arrived at Jinsha Mansion.
Jiang Zhiluo found a place to place the horse temporarily according to her memory, and then quietly sneaked into a house.
According to the time told to her in her sleep, at this time, the killers in black were here with Qiao Mengmeng.
Tomorrow, they will take Qiao Mengmeng to force Yun Luoxiao outside Jiangzhou City.
Luckily she caught up.
After entering the house, only one person was found, and there was no one else in the house.
Jiang Zhiluo's expression changed drastically. She fell from the sky and quickly took the man hostage.
He put the dagger on the man's neck and said, "Where are your accomplices?"
Jiang Zhiluo is extremely fast, and she uses wood powers to hide herself, making it difficult for others to detect her whereabouts.
What's more, the person who stayed to guard the house was of average ability.
This man's face turned pale. He didn't expect that someone could take him hostage without anyone noticing.
"I don't know what you are talking about. This is my home, my mansion. What do you want to do? I warn you that I will report it to the official."
Jiang Zhiluo was too lazy to talk nonsense, mainly because she was anxious and wanted to find Qiao Mengmeng quickly.
The time told to her in the dream was this time.
Qiao Mengmeng should be here, why isn't she?
Or are you saying that the things in the dream are false?
But before leaving, she went to the backyard of the academy. There were signs of a fight and blood.
Just like everything the dream told her.
It can only be said that some of the people who protected Qiao Mengmeng were killed, and Qiao Mengmeng was held hostage.
These people really go to great lengths and are despicable.
Jiang Zhiluo put a pill directly into the man's mouth.
“Tell me, where is your accomplice, where is the little girl?”
The effect of the medicine melted in the mouth and took effect quickly. The man said mechanically: "They are taking people to Jiangzhou City."
“What will you do when you leave?”
“Those who left yesterday wanted to force the grandson to retreat. Even if the grandson does not retreat, if this little girl dies, it will ruin part of the grandson’s reputation..."
Jiang Zhiluo's eyes were filled with strong murderous intent, "Who instigated you to do this?"
“Why did you attack her?”
"It's the emperor's wish. My uncle arranged for us to do this..."
Jiang Zhiluo wished she could run to Nanjing City now and kill all the emperor's people.
The reason why the Wei family was charged with collaborating with the enemy and treason, and the prince was murdered, was also related to this emperor.
Jiang Zhiluo's heart was filled with crazy murderous intent, and her eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty cold light. However, she suppressed the surging murderous intention in her heart and continued to ask a few questions.
Then he dealt with the people directly.
Jiang Zhiluo was worried, why did the time advance?
Everything was the same as in the dream, except that the time was moved forward two days.
Jiang Zhiluo's face suddenly changed. After going out, she whistled, got on her horse and rushed to Jiangcheng at a very fast speed.
…
Outside the gate of Jiangcheng City
The general guarding the city waved his hand.
A man in black came over holding Qiao Mengmeng hostage.
He stood on the city wall, holding Qiao Mengmeng's neck with his hands, and shouted to the siege army outside the city: "Everyone, look who this is!"
“A mere grandson, your highness, disguises himself as a woman in order to survive. He is really timid and fearful of trouble..."
“I don’t know why you people want to be loyal to such a coward and fearful person. You don’t even want to lose face in order to survive.”
“Haha, take a good look, this is the grandson’s daughter.”
"If you dare to attack the city, I will kill her."
“Of course, if Her Majesty the Grand Sun kneels down, kills her legs, retreats, and vows not to attack again, I will spare her life!”
"Your Highness, others say that you are as kind and wise as the prince. So many people have gone to you. Let's see what kind of person you are. Are you cruel and ruthless and don't care about your daughter's life? Or do you care about the soldiers?" I risked my life for all those who came to you for the sake of your daughter.”
"Ha ha ha ha…"
Handled laughter echoed from the city walls.
We were about to attack the city and capture another city, but we stopped here.
Seeing this scene, Yun Luoxiao's usually expressionless face changed, and everyone around him turned pale.
“It’s just despicable!”
The counselor beside Taisun Yun Luoxiao said: "That man is Lu Limeng!"
Lu Limeng is the son of Lu Guojiu.
Unexpectedly, he was sent here this time.
"They are deliberately humiliating His Highness. After they humiliate His Highness, they will not let him go."
“Uncle Lu Guo is ruthless, and Lu Limeng is even more so.”
The Lu family has been cruel and ruthless not once or twice.
Of course, the eldest prince is also the son of Empress Lu, and he is protected by Uncle Lu Guo behind his back.
They are all of the same kind.
Yun Luoxiao looked at Qiao Mengmeng who was being held hostage.
Qiao Mengmeng was actually very scared, but she knew she couldn't cry, so even though her neck hurt, she didn't cry, but her eyes were red.
She saw her mother, no, she is not her mother now, but she was very happy when she saw her.
Yun Luoxiao's eyes trembled fiercely and her nose felt sore.
Even though Mengmeng is the daughter of the eldest son of the Wei family, she has always been by his side. How could he let her lose her life?
She is so sensible and well-behaved, even if her body hurts when she is sick, she will reach out to comfort him first.
The Wei family is full of loyal people, but only one Qiao Mengmeng is alive. She cannot let anything happen to Mengmeng.
“I sent hundreds of secret guards to protect Mengmeng and prevent anyone from knowing her information. I didn’t expect that someone would find out.”
The counselor said: "There should be traitors. Obviously they are well prepared."
"Your Highness, you must not agree to them, they are humiliating you."
Yun Luoxiao closed her eyes hard, "I'll deal with him first to delay time, and you make arrangements to save people. Save people at all costs."
The counselor's expression changed, "Your Highness!"
"I have made up my mind, don't worry, I will attack the city after rescuing the people."
Yun Luoxiao would not believe the people of the Lu family. They had always been people who broke their promises.
It’s a little awkward, here’s the second update
