Meet alone?
What is Jiang Shangwu's plan?
Lin Che looked at Meng Fan with a sharp gaze and asked, "How did you receive this news? Are you sure Jiang Shangwu has arrived?"
Meng Fanxiao answered without hesitation, "While observing the enemy situation at the front, I discovered that the Tiance Army had made some unusual moves. They executed the injured Wolf Riders and the Wolf Cavalry as well. It seems that because these Wolf Riders failed to attack the city, they were executed on the spot."
"Because we were too close. One of my men was discovered and captured by the Tiance Army before he could escape. They also put forward a condition, which is that you, General, go five miles outside the city in person to talk to Jiang Shangwu."
"General, this matter is of great importance. I dare not make any decisions on my own. I can only come and report immediately. As for His Majesty, they have not received any news yet..."
One of Meng Fanxiao's men was captured.
In other words, a spy from the Shenji Camp was captured, which is no small matter.
A small soldier cannot be abandoned casually.
As for Jiang Shangwu asking him to meet privately during such a sensitive period, he must have some ulterior motive.
According to Jiang Shangwu's intelligence, it was impossible for him not to know that he had killed a group of elders and supreme elders of Yuxu Palace; it was even more impossible for him not to know that he had run into the Zhenyuan Army and seized a group of Sky-Slaying King Crossbows.
If Jiang Shangwu wants to ambush, how can he be sure of success?
If it wasn't an ambush... then it was bribery. A last-ditch effort.
Is Jiang Shangwu still dreaming of betraying Jiang Li and joining the Tiance Army?
However, no matter what, if Jiang Shangwu really dared to meet him, then what was there for him to fear? After the meeting, he could just kill Jiang Shangwu and everything would be settled.
It’s still unclear who is the prey and who is the hunter!
"Go, go to the cell and pick up two people, officers from the Tiance Army. I will go and exchange our people back—"
"General, the enemy must have set an ambush. Shall the Shenji Battalion assemble now?"
"No need. I can go alone, that's enough!"
Lin Che's voice was firm and full of confidence.
After Meng Fanxiao left, Lin Che thought for a moment, called Yu Huadian in, and whispered instructions to her.
A quarter of an hour later.
Lin Che jumped on his horse and galloped towards his destination, escorting the two unlucky Tiance Army soldiers.
These two unlucky guys were two of the officers who had previously defended Leishi City and surrendered after failing to defend it. They also had no money to redeem themselves, so Lin Che was now holding them as a prisoner to exchange for someone else.
Five miles is actually not far.
In good weather conditions, a warrior can see clearly things five miles away.
The place Jiang Shangwu agreed to meet was exactly five miles outside the east gate of Lei Shi City, and there was a forest there.
It must be said that Jiang Shangwu has extraordinary courage, daring to approach Leishi City five miles at this time. What is the confidence of this prince?
Lin Che went to the meeting alone, but he was not panicked at all.
It didn't take long for Lin Che to reach her destination.
From a distance, you can see a pavilion built next to the wide road.
There was a tall figure inside, making tea. The surroundings were empty and there was no one else to be seen.
Lin Che closed his eyes and used his "spiritual consciousness" to check his surroundings. He even checked underground, but there were no ambushes.
"Prince Wu—long time no see!"
Lin Che laughed heartily, dismounted, and strode into the pavilion. The two officers he had brought with him were half-dead, sprawled on their horses. When they saw Prince Wu in the pavilion, they frightenedly fell to the ground.
Jiang Shangwu still had a dignified look, appearing harmless. Seeing Lin Che coming over, he laughed heartily.
"Hero, it's been a while since we last met. Your reputation has spread throughout the whole of Dagan. Come, sit down—"
The two men did not seem like arch-enemies. Instead, they were polite to each other on the surface, like old friends who had not seen each other for a long time.
Lin Che also observed carefully. Jiang Shangwu's hands were below his knees. No one else had this feature. It was not a stand-in or a disguise.
The person sitting in front of me is Jiang Shangwu.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Your Majesty."
Lin Che appeared calm on the surface, but he sat down very cautiously.
Jiang Shangwu slowly made tea, and casually glanced at the two officers who were brought in, and asked casually:
"Marquis Guanjun, why did you bring these two here?"
"Oh, that's easy. Didn't you capture a spy from my Shenji Camp? I thought of bringing two people here to make a deal with the prince. Get my spy back in exchange." Lin Che was very straightforward.
Jiang Shangwu looked as if he had suddenly realized something, and waved his hand proudly:
"He's just a spy. I only kept him here to see you and pass on a message. I'll order his release right away. As for the hostage exchange..."
"Haha, Marquis Guanjun. This isn't the same situation you were in when you were held hostage by the Yanyun Nation. These two useless bastards can't even defend the city. Their deaths are not a pity!"
As soon as Jiang Shangwu finished speaking, he slapped the table with his hand, and the tea in the cup condensed into a ball and flew up.
He made a lightning-fast move and slapped the tea with his palm. The tea turned into dense water droplets and flew towards the two officers who were begging for mercy.
Sizzle!!!
The tea penetrated the bodies and heads of the two officers.
With two thuds, two bodies fell to the ground.
Blood gushed out crazily from the densely packed holes...
This move was truly ruthless and overbearing!
At the same time, it also revealed the high level of Jiang Shangwu's cultivation. He was not afraid of going to a meeting alone. He was not afraid of the army of the Shenji Camp just five miles away.
