Jiang Yimian was also somewhat stunned, never expecting Zhao Cheng to react so quickly, and could only barely dodge the opponent's attack.
She wanted to try the same method again, but Zhao Cheng didn't give her the chance.
No matter how much she tried to seduce him, he stayed firmly by Xie Yang's side, not giving her any chance to get close.
Jiang Yimian squinted at the person in front of her, secretly pondering how confident she was in killing the King of Chu right under Zhao Cheng's nose and escaping quickly.
The answer is none.
Zhao Cheng is just too amazing.
Last time, she and Lu Cijian could barely handle this person. This time, she is alone, and it seems impossible for her to kill Xie Yang.
Especially if you can't do anything to the other party even by utilizing space, you might end up getting yourself killed.
Realizing this, Jiang Yimian didn't hesitate and took out a handful of silver needles from her spatial storage, throwing them directly at Zhao Cheng.
Zhao Cheng watched as the silver needles flew towards him and quickly swung his sword to deflect them.
When I looked up again, I saw that Jiang Yimian had already ridden away on horseback.
Zhao Cheng was so angry that he picked up his sword and was about to chase after her, but Xie Yang quickly stopped him, "Don't worry about her, bandage my wound first."
His injuries were already quite severe, and on top of that, he had just been kicked hard by that woman. If he wasn't properly bandaged up, he might not have been killed by anyone, but would have bled to death first.
He won't let that woman get away with it.
Zhao Cheng then quickly tore off his clothes and used them to bandage the wound of the person in front of him before saying, "Your Highness, that woman is the same one from the mine last time. She's really strange."
I clearly didn't see the other party use this ability on the mountain last time, but this time they were able to use such a strange skill and disappear into thin air.
Fortunately, the opponent's move wasn't too difficult for him to counter, and after getting used to it, he wasn't so surprised anymore.
However, this person's identity was something that really puzzled him.
Although he had been working with the prince lately and hadn't paid attention to the affairs of Pingjiang County, he had secretly sent people to investigate, but they hadn't been able to find out the man's identity.
They searched almost everyone in the capital, but couldn't find an identity that matched this person.
I thought the other party might be hiding, but I never expected to run into them here today.
Xie Yang narrowed his eyes and said after a while, "It seems that she left from the capital. Go and have someone investigate carefully in the capital. Don't go to Pingjiang County for the time being."
Pingjiang County is under close surveillance because of Zhu Shichang's case. If their people go there now, they might be caught red-handed.
It's best to proceed with caution for now.
Moreover, apart from those close to him, no one else could possibly know about his return to Beijing this time.
However, their whereabouts were still exposed, and they were chased by so many people. If Zhao Cheng hadn't been with them, and if he hadn't brought a lot of people with him, they would have already died on the mountain.
There must be a traitor among his men.
Zhao Cheng responded respectfully, then suddenly remembered something, "Your Highness, I heard that the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works has been imprisoned because of the heir of the Marquis of Anding."
Xie Yang frowned slightly, his voice tinged with doubt, "Why is that old bastard Marquis of Anding meddling in the Ministry of Works' affairs?"
That old man, Marquis An Ding, is a deep and unpredictable man with a volatile temper. He clearly has his own schemes, yet to outsiders he still appears to be loyal to the royal family. It's just a matter of who he's working for.
Given the other party's personality, there's no way they would take care of the department at this crucial moment.
Zhao Cheng shook his head. "I don't know either. I've only heard that the heir of the Marquis of Anding seems to have been raised on the estate since childhood. He has only recently returned to the capital, so I imagine he doesn't have a good relationship with the Marquis of Anding."
Xie Yang then responded, no longer dwelling on the issue, and instead said, "Have you finished the things I asked you to arrange? The rainy season is coming soon, this is a good opportunity, we must kill Wei Jinghai and the people around him."
If it weren't for that bastard Wei Jinghai suddenly intervening and disrupting his plans during the rebellion a year ago, the Great Jin Dynasty would have changed hands long ago.
Zhao Cheng simply smiled and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, everything is proceeding according to your plan."
Xie Yang then nodded.
*
Jiang Yimian rode her horse at breakneck speed and finally arrived at Longxing Manor just as darkness fell.
To avoid being caught by the man beside the King of Chu, she ran extremely fast the whole way without daring to rest, which shortened the time it usually took to return to the manor from the capital.
As soon as we entered the gate of the mountain resort, we saw Zhao Xiaonian carrying a lantern, bending down and looking for something on the ground.
Two children followed behind him, their heads down and bottoms sticking out, searching for something.
Jiang Yimian stared at the two familiar figures for a moment, then smiled and said, "Xiao Ye, Xiao Nuan'er."
The person who was concentrating on searching for stones on the ground suddenly looked up when he heard this.
Little Nuan'er was still a little confused. She looked up and around, her big eyes full of confusion, as if she was wondering who was calling her.
Ono was the first to spot the person standing in the corridor not far away.
Under the dim light of the lanterns stood a tall figure. Her face was not very clear, but it was obvious that she was a woman.
Ono was stunned for a while before she suddenly remembered whose familiar voice it was, and immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Sister, sister is back!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she ran straight up the corridor, grabbed Jiang Yimian's leg, and said with a smile, "Sister, you're finally back."
Little Nuan'er followed closely behind, grabbing her other leg tightly, her big eyes filled with joy, "Sister, Little Nuan'er has missed you so much, and I can finally see you again."
She thought she would see her sister when she arrived at the villa, but she waited for several days and still didn't see her. She felt extremely sad, fearing that her sister had abandoned them.
