Chapter 268 Kill
When Jiang Wuyou heard Lin Anjian's description, he immediately understood her identity.
She should be the same as herself, the special envoy of the Emperor of Yan, a girl from the academy who was in charge of Yin Jing's spy network.
Jiang Wuyou was not surprised by the two spy networks.
She had tried to pass on wrong information to the Emperor of Yan in the past to reduce the disputes between Qi and Yan. Those messages were all modified by Jiang Wuyou based on her experience and repeated consideration, and there was no possibility of being discovered. As a result, a few days later, the false news was discovered by the Emperor of Yan, without missing a single one.
After the false news was discovered, Jiang Wuyou thought she would die, but she didn't expect that a few days later, the poison that locked her life was sent from the State of Yan. This poison is called "Autumn Cicada". Once it is swallowed, it will be dormant like an autumn cicada. It cannot be discovered normally, but once it breaks out, there is no possibility of detoxification, and it will die on the spot.
After taking the poison, she can only take the compressed pills sent by the Emperor of Yan every month to delay the date of the poison's outbreak, which is equivalent to completely handing her life over to the Emperor of Yan.
Since then, Jiang Wuyou knew that it was useless to spread false information, so he gave up the idea and honestly became a puppet controlled by the Yan Emperor.
However, there was one thing that Jiang Wuyou didn't understand.
That was why the Yan Emperor didn't kill him, but controlled him with drugs.
It was obviously a better choice to kill him, who was not loyal, and replace him with a loyal subordinate to lead the secret agents.
Lin Anjian looked at Jiang Wuyou and saw that she didn't look shocked, and said: "Aren't you surprised? You also found out a long time ago?"
"Yeah. But I didn't expect it to be the princess." Jiang Wuyou answered briefly.
As a special envoy of the Yan Emperor, Jiang Wuyou had never seen the Yan Emperor, so naturally he would not have any sense of belonging to her other subordinates or his "colleagues".
Lin Anjian paid attention to Jiang Wuyou when she was dancing. At that time, he only thought that Jiang Wuyou was talented, but he never thought that such a popular courtesan was actually the most low-key Yan State spy. It can only be said that the Yan Emperor is invincible in playing with people's hearts.
"Miss Jiang, don't you want to know why I'm looking for you?"
"I don't want to know."
Jiang Wuyou was so straightforward that Lin Anjian was a little surprised, "Why?"
Jiang Wuyou naturally said what He Yunxiao was thinking, "My Lady Princess, who likes to work?"
Lin Anjian:...
She wanted to refute for a moment, but found that what Jiang Wuyou said made sense.
Seeing that Zhang Jingxian's stage was more than half built, Lin Anjian lost the desire to play, "Miss Jiang, I have to say this, and you have to listen."
"Go ahead."
Lin Anjian looked around and after ensuring safety, whispered: "The Emperor of Yan asked me to cooperate with you to kill someone."
Jiang Wuyou frowned. Her mission has always been to collect intelligence, and she doesn't know martial arts at all. How can she kill people? Even if she can really kill, if she kills a political figure in Qi, how can she get away with it? If she can't get away, what will He Yunxiao do?
"Who to kill?" she asked.
Lin Anjian narrowed his eyes and spoke softly, "Meng Qingqian."
These three words were like a thunderbolt that shocked Jiang Wuyou's pupils.
Meng Qingqian! ?
Kill the eldest princess in power in Qi! ?
This is tantamount to regicide!
Once Meng Qingqian died, Qi was in chaos and the political situation was unbalanced, which would inevitably lead to a fight between Meng and Han, and the two sides would fight to the death for the imperial power. At this time, the Yan army, relying on the Qi border map that had been obtained long ago, marched straight into Yinjing...
Jiang Wuyou didn't dare to think about it anymore.
The Emperor of Yan is worthy of being the Emperor of Yan. If he doesn't take action, it's fine. Once he takes action, it's an unprecedented achievement!
With the character of the Emperor of Yan, this matter must be arranged in a chain...
If he really lets himself kill Meng Qingqian, then it is expected that the Yan army will break Yinjing again and unify the nine states afterwards.
Yan State unified the nine states...
In Jiang Wuyou's eyes, he seemed to see He Yunxiao wearing armor and fighting with the endless Yan army. Watch him fight bravely, watch his blood stain his armor, watch him die of exhaustion.
Biting his lips with silver teeth, Jiang Wuyou clenched his fists and trembled slightly.
No wonder the Emperor of Yan was reluctant to kill him, no wonder the intelligence said that the Yan army would be assembled within a month, no wonder he chose this time to kill Meng Qingqian. It turned out that it was all for Xiaoyue's twenty-year-old coming-of-age banquet half a month later.
The ordinary eldest princess's double-tenth-year-old coming-of-age banquet would not be a big deal, but Meng Qingqian was different. Every one of her festivals had political implications. Therefore, even if Meng Qingqian herself did not want to toss, her younger brothers would force her to toss.
Gu Ping
Jiang Wuyou figured out why the Emperor of Yan did not kill her, but must feed her medicine and save her life. Because she can dance and dance with a sword. She danced once at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet last year, and this time the eldest princess's coming-of-age banquet would almost certainly invite her to go again. In this way, he became the only person who could safely approach Meng Qingqian with a weapon.
It was possible that he could kill Meng Qingqian.
To obey orders... or... for him...
Jiang Wuyou hesitated for a moment, and then immediately had an answer. Not only for him, but also for the people of the two countries.
"Princess, I..."
Lin Anjian stretched out a slender finger and pressed it on Jiang Wuyou's lips.
"Miss Jiang, don't rush to talk. Stretch out your hands, both hands."
Jiang Wuyou stretched out her hand and saw Lin Anjian take out a small cloth bag and pour all the pills in the bag into her hand. A total of six pills.
It is an antidote to delay the poison of autumn cicada.
Why six pills?
Lin Anjian pointed to one of them and said, "This is Miss Jiang's antidote."
Then he pointed to the next one.
"This one is Miss Jiang Chenyue's antidote."
Jiang Wuyou was so shocked that her pupils dilated, "How... when did Chenyue..."
Lin Anjian put the antidote belonging to Jiang Chenyue back into the bag and shook her head, indicating that Jiang Wuyou didn't know either.
Lin Anjian continued.
"This one is Miss Jiang's father."
"This one is Miss Jiang's mother."
"This one is Miss Jiang's brother."
Although Jiang Wuyou was a girl sold by her parents, she always felt grateful for her parents' kindness. Although her early life was not easy, she had been secretly looking for her biological parents. At this time, the truth was finally revealed, but she could only murmur: "No wonder I couldn't find it, and there was no news..."
At this time, Jiang Wuyou had two antidotes in her hand, one of which was her own, and the other had not been distributed.
Jiang Wuyou pleaded in her tone, and said pitifully: "Princess, can you..."
Lin Anjian sighed and said: "I'm sorry. The last antidote in your hand is actually mine."
Lin Anjian took the pill from Jiang Wuyou's hand and ate it in front of Jiang Wuyou.
Princess Qi was proving with her actions that she was not lying. She was just a pawn of Emperor Yan.
Jiang Wuyou was shaken. If it was only her, she could still give it up without hesitation, but when the weight was added to the balance of exchange, the lives of her family were increased...
She was shaken. On one side was He Yunxiao and innocent people, and on the other side was her sister and blood relatives...
Lin Anjian sighed and said: "Miss Jiang, let me dictate the handwritten letter from Emperor Yan to you: My dear, there is no need to hesitate. I will protect all your family members."
"All?"
"All."
The balance tilted.
Jiang Wuyou lowered his head and said sullenly, "I know."
As the messenger, Lin Anjian witnessed the Emperor of Yan, who was thousands of miles away, relying on props and words to control people's hearts step by step, so that the special envoy Jiang, who was originally unwilling to buy his life, had to obey his orders.
People who play with people's hearts are simply too scary.
Zhang Jingxian set up the stage over there, but she didn't want Jiang Wuyou, who was still pregnant, to go on stage to dance. It's not that pregnant people can't exercise, Zhang Jingxian just doesn't want Jiang Wuyou to live the kind of "selling smiles" life in the past.
After brewing tea and bringing it to the two of them, Zhang Jingxian said, "Wuyou, I'm sorry to bother you today. The stage has been in disrepair for a long time and can't be set up. Let's dance later."
Jiang Wuyou held Zhang Jingxian's arm affectionately and said with a happy smile, "Wuyou, listen to your mother."
Zhang Jingxian was not mentally prepared at all. She was speechless for a moment, stunned for a moment, and said, "Okay, okay."
Princess Qi Lin Anjian stood aside, incompatible with the intimate mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, as if they were in two different worlds.
She took a sip of tea, her mouth full of bitterness.
