Chapter 585: No need to compromise
Chapter 585 No need to compromise
The axes that the three tall soldiers prepared when they picked them up, chopped off the chains connecting the cable bridge and the stone pillars on the shore.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The sound of the axe and the iron chain struck the ears, and the iron filings splashed and sparked a little spark.
Another axe fell, and one of the chains broke open.
At this time, there was the sound of rolling horses hoofs on the other side.
"It's Xu Jiajun!"
"Chasing! Cross the bridge!"
"Vice General Yang, they are cutting the bridge!"
The lieutenant Yang Yong's face suddenly changed, he slammed his horse near the bridge, and gave an urgent order: "Let go!"
"Fill your mother's arrow! A shameful thing!" Qin Wu cursed loudly across Jingshuihe, but his tone was extremely cheerful.
His general’s carriage has already left, and this group of gangsters are still running around here!
hit it down with one more axe, and the last iron chain could hardly withstand the blow, and was completely separated from the stone pillar.
The long cable bridge lost one end and fell into the Jingshui River like a giant snake.
Qin Wu bent over and grabbed the axe in the hands of one of the soldiers, and hurled his force towards the group of soldiers on the other side who were still shooting arrows.
He is a well-known strange power. This axe left his hand and whizzed away in the cold tidal wind, like a deadly beast leaping towards people.
Yang Yong's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly drove his horse to escape, and the soldiers shooting arrows stopped their offensive in a mess.
At this time, Qin Wu’s loud voice came from the other side again: "The surname is Yang, grandpa has no time to repair you today, and come to take your dog's life when you are free in the next day! Hahahaha!"
"Drive!"
Qin Wu Paima, took his subordinates and left the river bank, even showing pleasure from his back.
Seeing that the silhouette of the pedestrian quickly disappeared into the poplar forest on the opposite bank, like a beast who had broken free and returned to the forest, Yang Yong gritted his teeth, and the fear in his heart spread uncontrollably.
Zhen Guogong is really the opposite!
"Vice General Yang, how do we respond next?"
Yang Yong can't hear it.
How does he know how to respond!
"Quickly take someone to the palace to report this matter!"
The soldier who opened his mouth was taken aback: "...Is it the subordinate?"
"Nonsense!" Yang Yong adjusted his horse's head and said in a deep voice, "Back to camp!"
The soldier stood there wanting to cry without tears.
Failed to stop the Lord Zhen Guo, and the errand was broken. At this time, he went to the palace, not so much as sending a letter, he would rather call it death.
Looking at the turbulent river, the soldier suddenly had the idea of skepticism about life—why did he have to leaned forward and asked that sentence?
...
In the Dali Temple, the fire had been extinguished, and the assassins who robbed the prison saw that they were unable to do so, and all of them were defeated.
As soon as the situation was brought under control, Dali Siqing led people to the file building that caught fire to deal with follow-up matters.
After explaining the task of hunting down the assassin, Ji Xiu took two henchmen to the dungeon.
Whether these assassins can be chased back, he doesn't care at all, nor does he plan to chase him personally-to help the murdered enemy defend the enemy with all his strength and solve problems, he is not crazy enough yet.
Anyway, his abilities are mediocre, and he is an idiot. It is luck to do well, and it is normal to do well.
Now what he cares about is only revenge!
Today's things are quite strange, he can only rest assured that he sees Xia Tingzhen, the old fox, is still in prison.
The sky outside is gloomy, while the prison is getting darker and darker.
As the door was opened, the wind followed in, encouraging the several lanterns hanging on the stone wall to agitate uncomfortably.
The jailer led the way and walked in, and finally stopped in front of the innermost cell, took out the key and opened the cell door.
"My official has something to ask Xia Shoufu alone—"
When Ji Xiu spoke about the three characters Xia Shoufu, there was an indescribable irony in his tone.
The jailer responded wittily, retreating far away.
Two henchmen guarded outside the cell, Ji Xiu raised his foot and walked in.
The cell is not big, with a dilapidated wooden table, stools, and a narrow bed built against the wall, on which there is still a thin moldy quilt.
And the thin quilt, which looked hard, was folded very neatly.
Ji Xiu looked in his eyes and sneered from between his teeth: "Xia Shoufu is calm and relaxed. If he wants to come, he should be strategizing, and he has determined that he will not die here—"
The man in the prison uniform with his hands and feet locked with chains sat on the edge of the bed, slightly raising his eyes to look at Ji Xiu.
Those eyes were still cold and solemn, and they were indistinguishable from the past.
The look in his eyes was like a giant thorn stuck in Ji Xiu's heart, making him angry and uneasy. Just as he had just said, the other party was always calm and relaxed, and I don't know what back path was laid, whether there was any trick that he hadn't resorted to... And he will never tolerate the other party leaving here alive!
"The assassination of the holy driver in the Taimiao, and the arrangement of manpower to rob the prison, this move makes it seem not very clever, it is not like Xia Shoufu's consistent strategy."
Ji Xiu suppressed his anxiety by mocking the opponent's failure to act: "The master wants to cook the dog, and the dog in turn wants to kill the master. This drama is also wonderful, but it's a pity that this bite failed to bite the vital part, and then he wanted to pounce on it. I'm afraid I can't."
Xia Tingzhen's eyes moved slightly.
Assassinate the holy driver...
Robbery?
Ji Xiu came up and pointed these two things at him. Could it be that Rong's accidentally revealed it?
The so-called robbing of prison, obviously someone is making trouble under his banner...
Including that just now, he faintly heard from the jailers that there was an assassination in Taimiao...
This one, I am afraid that it is the real "sounds" of the people with intentions!
Xia Tingzhen thought a few times, and guessed frequently. Out of confirmation and temptation, he said coldly: "In this capital, Xia Mou can't do such a stupid thing. I don't know where to get the information. I don’t know the truth or not, so I eagerly come to Xia to sneer and ridicule. Are you afraid that I misplaced the real messenger and missed his errands."
"Xia Shoufu is still in prison and can still make decisions outside. Although the assassination failed, he took the queen mother and the queen Wu and the little prince as hostages. I want to use this to negotiate terms with the emperor. Didn't you even dare to admit it?" Ji Xiu appeared sarcastically, but in fact he was also tentative.
He is always suspicious of today's affairs.
"The empress dowager and the little prince were taken away?" Xia Tingzhen's expression finally changed.
Queen dowager, queen, little prince...
These three people are all about a big deal, and each has a usefulness that no one can replace!
The other party took advantage of the chaos to take these three people away, and it is about to give birth to a major event!
Ji Xiu looked at his expression in his eyes and frowned very quickly.
Could it be that Xia Tingzhen did it?
The assassins who robbed the prison just now are indeed strange...
Since it is a robbery, it should be desperate to die and kill, but when those people saw that the situation was unfavorable, they retreated one after another...
Is it just to create the illusion of an attempt to rob the prison, so as to confuse everyone's sight?
Thinking of a possibility, Ji Xiu's heart was shocked.
If it is really not Xia Tingzhen’s arrangement, then there is only one person left that he can think of...
Town State Duke!
He said long ago that Miss Xu's posture made it clear that she was going to rebel!
The so-called power of handing over soldiers was originally not only to push Xia Tingzhen, but also to delay time, confuse the emperor’s attention, and take advantage of the opportunity to abduct the queen mother and the queen!
At this moment, Master Ji said that he had completely realized it.
As much as he could think of, Xia Tingzhen had already guessed it at this time.
Zhen Guogong returned to Beijing this time, the reason why he did not have his face torn apart with the emperor, really had a plan!
Going up early that day, he had already noticed it, but the stupid emperor never left him a chance to speak. Now he has not obtained the military power and lost his wife and broke the army. It is really stupid.
—It's really a foolish fool!
"Today's Taimiao affairs are mostly the result of Zhenguo's golden cicada escaping his shell..."
Xia Tingzhen looked at Ji Xiu and said, "If the Lord Zhenguo escapes from the capital today, the situation will inevitably be out of balance, and he robbed the queen mother, obviously wanting to help King Yan to act...In such a situation, Master Ji should not be the one who has fallen into trouble. Hurry, it's better to lay a back path for yourself. Lest the situation is overwhelmed and you end up with a crushed end."
"Xia Shou Fu Su Rili is above the top, cherishes the words like gold, and never disdains Ji's half-words. Why are you so kindly reminded now?"
While Ji Xiu was talking, Chao Xia Tingzhen slowly approached, her eyes immersed in the dimness to make people look inattentive, but the lower her voice, the colder her voice: "I think I'm still useful, even stupid enough to kill him again. Is it used by the enemy?!"
Looking at Ji Xiu who came in front of him, Xia Tingzhen's eyebrows moved, and her expression did not fluctuate too much.
I already knew it.
"Back then, I was immersed in the pain of bereavement. It was your words that provoked and obscured the truth and made me hate King Yan from now on!"
Meeting those hateful eyes, Xia Tingzhen calmly said: "Since you already know the truth, you should know that the real enemy is not me. Back then, I could not even be called an assistant in the camp, but just an identity. The humble gentlemen who teach literacy, what they do is just being ordered—"
Ordered...
Ji Xiu sneered silently.
If he were someone else, he might think so, but Xia Tingzhen...
In the past few years, he has already seen what the other person looks like under his skin. What happened back then is not so much an order, but he thinks it might be the other person's idea!
revealed that King Yan wanted to sneak into the enemy camp, and set up an ambush on the way back...
This may not be a certificate dedicated to the eldest son of the year!
No, maybe it’s a collusion...
After all, the reason why the two got together is because they are similar!
Back then, Xia Tingzhen chose the unobtrusive eldest son, but because he did not respond to King Yan's favors before, the mother of Yan's family is powerful and easy-going, but also has its own pride. He doesn't even bother to play with the so-called conspiracy.
So Xia Tingzhen could only find a generation of treacherous villains like her to support her!
Now he said that he was just following orders!
Dangdang Shoufu, facing a person who has never been in his eyes, would he not even have the courage to admit it?
It’s not that I dare not admit it...
I want to repeat the old trick!
Twenty years ago, he took advantage of his hatred of King Yan, more than 20 years later, he still wanted to use his hatred of the emperor!
But this is not what makes him most angry. At this moment, what makes him most intolerable is the calmness in the other party's tone—
The words of can be faked, but the arrogance that is still calm and unchanging after being exposed is a natural expression!
At the moment when he heard him break the truth, the other party didn’t even see a trace of dodge...as if the lives of his two sons were not enough to be seen in the eyes, it was just a trivial old thing!
There is no confession, no guilty conscience, and some just contempt.
Those are his own flesh and blood. They are the two good children who will still make him feel heartache beyond the limit when they meet in a dream after more than 20 years!
Xia Tingzhen was unaware of the anger that Ji Xiu could not suppress at this time.
In other words, these emotions are the most useless in his opinion, which he can't experience firsthand.
People often lose one or two points of sensitivity to things that they can’t empathize with.
So, his words continue—
"Nowadays, there are many people who want to fight for this world, but the king of Yan has the help of the Wu family, and now there is an additional town and country, which can be said to be the person with the greatest chance of winning. If the king of Yan gains power, Ji Shangshu thinks that he still has a way out. Say it."
Xia Tingzhen’s voice was slow and calm, but there was intangible persuasion: “On one side is your enemy who owes you, and on the other side is your enemy who owes debts. I don’t know how Ji Shangshu intends to go on the next road?"
"Yi Xia Shoufu, how should I go?" Ji Xiu's tone seemed to be calmer.
"Your majesty is exhausted today, but fortunately there is a little prince under his knees. Even if he was taken abducted by Xu Qiwei, he can still find it in the future. Even if he can't find it, there is still a prince in the court—"
"Xia Shoufu meant to let Ji slay the king to support a young emperor?"
"Why don't you kill the enemy?"
"What a batman, why not..." Ji Xiu suddenly laughed.
Sure enough, he is a person who climbs up to the position of the first auxiliary by being good at controlling the human heart!
If it were not that he had already made an agreement with the Xu family that "there is nowhere to go", I am afraid that he would be shaken by the other party's words!
If he had to deal with people anyway, he would choose an enemy to kill without any reason.
He still has some certainty about the character of Zhen Guogong, at least there is no need to worry that the Xu family will turn back.
Moreover, the person in front of you certainly has some skills in playing power, but these so-called skills are more suitable for the years of peace, or for opportunism under the right time and place-and in the true troubled times, under the battle of thousands of horses and horses, It is destined to be a vulnerable paper tiger.
At this moment, looking at the enemy in front of him, Ji Xiu was even grateful.
Fortunately, he saw the Xu family girl that day. Fortunately, he still had a choice so that he would not compromise with his enemies in order to preserve Wan'er!
Now, he doesn’t need to compromise...
Ji Xiu took another step forward, but suddenly raised his hand to strangle Xia Tingzhen's neck.
"...On the day I learned the truth, I vowed to seek justice for my two children! Today, as my father, I will send you down to apologize to them!"
The hand tightened violently between her neck, Xia Tingzhen’s complexion quickly flushed, her hands struggled, and a difficult voice: "Are you crazy..."
How dare the other party act on him at this time!
Does this idiot want to die with him!
