After Jiang Zhaorong left, the two of them seemed to be exhausted, collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.
After finally recovering a little, Tao Hong was a little annoyed: "Why did you go to his study again when all was fine?"
"I really just want to find some money, sister, trust me," Zeng Ju pulled her up and pressed her against the bed, looking at her seriously. "The people here are all cunning, we can't beat them. Trust me, take some money, and let's go out. It's much more comfortable than here, and you don't have to worry about your life."
Taohong looked at him suspiciously, and only after making sure that he was not lying did she sigh softly.
"There's no such thing as an absolutely safe place in this world. Besides, I've worked so hard to get to where I am today, how can I give up so easily?"
Zeng Ju wanted to persuade her again, but Taohong suddenly curled the corners of her mouth, and the smile looked a little crazy.
"Believe me, we still have many days of prosperity and wealth in the future."
…
The cold wave has receded, and the beauty of spring is everywhere. Flowers are vying to bloom against the pink walls, and willows are slanting across the beautiful paths.
Jiang Wenjing and Ji Tong were riding horses and strolling around the capital.
When they reached the moat, Ji Tong stopped to admire the willow trees by the river, and said with a hint of emotion: "The scenery in Beijing is so beautiful that I don't want to leave."
Jiang Wenjing echoed. Ji Tong looked at him and said softly, "Come to think of it, it's been so long since Prince Yu's rebellion, and His Majesty hasn't decided yet. Who should he send?"
Jiang Wenjing sneered in his heart that he finally lost his temper, but his expression remained unmoved.
"They are just two princes. It all depends on who is more capable."
Ji Tong had no doubts: "Then which one do you prefer?"
Jiang Wenjing glanced at him and said, "It doesn't matter who they are. As long as they win the battle, I'd rather know who the emperor is going to send from Mobei."
This was the longest year Jiang Wenjing had stayed in Beijing since he became a general.
Ji Tong also wanted to ask indirectly, but he brought it up first.
Although he was delayed by these unexpected events, it is logically time for Jiang Wenjing to return to the battlefield.
What is the emperor planning next?
Ji Tong frowned slightly.
However, this is also a good opportunity to dispel Jiang Wenjing's doubts about him.
Thinking of this, Ji Tong's brows relaxed and he glanced at Jiang Wenjing subtly.
In Ji Tong's eyes, Jiang Wenjing is the epitome of being easy to deceive.
To deal with him, you don't need to make any elaborate plans, just start with your emotions.
If a person who has fought with you on the battlefield many times is now in danger of his life to save you again, can you still doubt him?
Even the most cold-blooded person would feel a little shaken in his heart, let alone Jiang Wenjing.
Now that the city's defenses are lax, it's a good time to strike.
The streets are bustling with people, and the sounds of hawking can be heard from every corner.
Jiang Wenjing immediately noticed a little fox pendant hanging on a small stall.
Compared to the clever little fox on the stall next to it, this fox looked... silly. The moment Jiang Wenjing saw it, Jiang Zhiyu's face appeared in his mind.
purchase!
He rode forward, and Ji Tong walked slowly behind him, looking at the houses around him that were connected to each other. Then, a whistle sounded, followed by a clanging sound of metal colliding.
The scene instantly became chaotic. Jiang Wenjing flipped his hand to block the sharp sword coming from behind. The small vendor in front of him didn't even want to leave his stall, and ran away trembling and crawling.
Screams and stampeding sounds were heard everywhere. After missing the first blow, the man continued to attack. Jiang Wenjing dodged calmly, and from time to time he looked up in the direction of Ji Tong.
Ji Tong was being besieged by three men, and every move they made was brutal, aiming straight for his vital points.
Although Ji Tong was considered a skilled fighter, the three in front of him were no less powerful than him. He had difficulty dealing with one person, let alone three.
but……
Ji Tong used his sword to block the sword that one of the men was about to stab at his heart, and said in a low voice through gritted teeth: "I'm the one who hired you, are you crazy?"
A hint of mockery flashed in the man's eyes, and he flew into the air and sheathed his sword.
Before Ji Tong had time to relax, he saw another person suddenly appear behind that figure and rush towards him!
That figure was as fast as lightning. Even if Ji Tong defended himself with all his strength, he might not be able to dodge it, let alone now.
“!!!”
His pupils suddenly shrank. Could it be that Jiang Wenjing already knew that he had found someone and secretly bribed them, just to use a trick against him?!
Without time to think, Ji Tong knew he couldn't escape, so he just stared at the man with cold sweat on his forehead.
He had already prepared his equipment, but he saw that the man stopped just when he was only the size of a fist away from him.
Ji Tong: “???”
He was about to open his mouth tentatively, but he saw the man stretched out his hand, then raised it -
“Bang!”
An extremely loud slap!
Ji Tong was whipped out, fell off his horse to the ground, and rolled several times.
The frightened horse ran around aimlessly, trampling him with its huge hooves.
"Cough cough cough."
Ji Tong choked and spat out some blood foam.
This scene was really absurd. The rest of the people on the street had already run away without a trace. The remaining so-called "assassins" and Jiang Wenjing stared at Ji Tong, who was trampled by the horses, with almost indifferent eyes.
It was not until he fainted that He Yanting stepped forward and stopped the horse.
Jiang Zhiyu went forward to check, took out the medicine he had prepared in advance from his arms, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Jiang Wenjing looked at Jiang Zhiyu's actions with a terrifyingly cold look in his eyes.
[I have several broken ribs and multiple fractures all over my body. I have to stay in bed.]
Jiang Kangan pulled off his veil: "It's so targeted, he might get suspicious when he wakes up."
"No, he won't remember." Jiang Zhiyu's eyes were calm.
Hearing this, no one said anything more. They nodded to Jiang Wenjing before flying away.
Jiang Wenjing looked at Ji Tong lying on the ground with blood oozing out, wondering what he was thinking.
The next moment, Shi An's anxious voice rang out: "General Jiang, what on earth happened here?!"
Looking at Shi An who was making a sharp roar, Jiang Wenjing sneered, "Master Shi, you are here just in time."
Hearing the sarcasm in his words, Shi An sneered, "Don't blame me, General. Don't blame me, General. It's really because this place is very far away from the Dali Temple, that's why..."
Jiang Wenjing glanced at him.
far cry?
But it's just two streets away.
Jiang Wenjing was too lazy to deal with him and said directly: "Alright, give me a hand and send him to the clinic."
"Yes, yes..." Shi An signaled with his eyes to the guards following him to lift Ji Tong up, and he moved closer to Jiang Wenjing: "General, do you have any idea about this matter?"
