Chapter 44: Thunder from the sky, the gods are angry (I)
That night, the streets of Xuzhou were brightly lit.
No one slept.
More than a hundred people from the Jiang family were imprisoned in a prison van and paraded through the streets.
General Jiang was held in solitary confinement at the head of the group. His aged face was utterly dejected, his clothes tattered and bloodstained, and he looked incredibly old. He was a stark contrast to the general who had reigned supreme on the battlefield just two weeks prior.
He turned around with grief to see Jiang Yu, who was dying in another prison van behind him.
He sighed in despair.
This child, how can he be so stupid!
It seems that God wants to destroy the Jiang family today!
More and more people gathered around to watch.
"Get out! Get out! The court has imprisoned this traitor and will execute him at noon tomorrow!"
The leader was from the Su family army.
There are three armies in Daliang: the Jiang family army is responsible for guarding the southern border, the Su family army is responsible for guarding the north, and the center is guarded by Emperor Liang’s Jinwu Guard.
Now the Su family army has become integrated with the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The people were driven to the sides.
Whispering:
"Is this General Jiang? What happened?"
"Could it be related to what Governor Zhang said last time, that the Jiang family colluded with the enemy and stole the city defense map?"
"I don't think so... Look at what the Jiang family did and what the Queen Mother did. Anyone with common sense will know who is right."
But there are also people who oppose it angrily.
"What good is that! The Jiang family must have committed treason to bring us to this point."
“If it weren’t for them, why would we suffer so much?”
As he said this, he picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at the prison van.
The women and children of the Jiang family were so frightened that they huddled together, but they did not scream.
The man closed his eyes and calmly allowed the people to scold him.
They had experienced too much torture in the past half month, which had worn away all their will. Now that even Jiang Yu was imprisoned, the Jiang family had completely lost hope.
They are all people with backbone.
If you have to die, you should die with dignity.
"Look! They're not making excuses, so it must be true!"
There are people among the people who deliberately incite emotions.
The leading general of the Su family army also announced: "The disastrous defeat in this battle is due to the Jiang family's collusion with the enemy! The court has specially dispatched the Su family army south. From now on, the remaining Jiang family troops will be under the control of the Su family."
A light and unsubstantiated statement.
Hundreds of years of achievements of the Jiang family were wiped out. Liu Yi stood in the teahouse on the second floor, watching this scene with his hands behind his back.
Finally, I solved a big problem in my heart.
But the words of his followers later made him frown.
"Prime Minister, the eldest son... was hanging out with His Highness. Many people in the Prime Minister's residence saw it."
"Now the news has spread, and everyone says that the eldest son wants to marry Your Highness as his concubine."
Liu Yi slammed his palm on the tea table and shouted angrily:
"Rebellious son!"
"Go and bring that rebellious son back! And Jiang Qingqing, have him killed. If the Prime Minister's Mansion didn't have a decent young man, I would have destroyed him long ago!"
Among the children of aristocratic families, Liu Xubai is already considered a leader.
But this love was placed on the wrong person.
The followers felt a little embarrassed after listening to Liu Yi's arrangements.
"Prime Minister, this young master has already taken the person into his private courtyard. I'm afraid..."
The personal guards trained by Liu Xubai only obey his orders.
Liu Yi snorted coldly.
"Just ask him whether he wants power or a woman."
He's his own son, doesn't he understand?

Liu Xubai private courtyard
Jiang Qingqing was forced to sit on a wooden chair.
Liu Xubai carefully used the white jade comb to tie up Jiang Qingqing's hair.
He did not give Jiang Qingqing the antidote, and his slender fingertips seemed to touch Jiang Qingqing's cheek and neck inadvertently.
It causes chills.
"If you tie your hair up, you will no longer be the princess of Daliang."
Jiang Qingqing was extremely annoyed.
Her eyes fell upon a bunch of hairpins on the table, and after a moment's thought, she took advantage of Liu Xubai's inattention to grab the hairpin and stab him.
"My dear."
His wrist was grabbed, and Liu Xubai's warning words were heard from behind him.
Jiang Qingqing simply gave up and stood up to run out. When she turned around, she saw the watch on the low table and took it back.
Liu Xubai followed her leisurely without stopping her.
Jiang Qingqing had no way of escaping from this yard.
As for the watch, it seemed to be just an ordinary decoration and I originally planned to return it to her.
"Qingqing, I told you, that old man and the two children must die. Otherwise, we will be the ones to die."
Jiang Qingqing interrupted his defense.
"You're lying! I told you that the Golden Guards have already reached the forest."
Ten years ago.
Liu Xubai was kidnapped by the enemy country's secret guards in the palace.
Jiang Qingqing saw this and, relying on the fireworks that could summon the Golden Guards, she took the risk and followed, hiding under the carriage.
He took the opportunity to put the drug in.
After rescuing Liu Xubai, the two of them fled along the route she marked, hiding from place to place.
An old man took them in.
And gave them food.
The old man has two grandchildren who are the same age as them.
Liu Xubai gave the jade pendant and ornaments on his body to the two children as a token of gratitude.
The old man was very grateful.
Unexpectedly, in the end, Liu Xubai set a fire and burned them all to death.
The next moment, the Jinwu Guards arrived before the enemy's secret guards.
Brought them back to the palace.
It was also from that time that Jiang Qingqing had an additional royal secret guard by her side.
Liu Xubai's eyes were calm:
"I don't trust anyone but myself. So I won't put my life in the hands of the Jin Wuwei. What if they don't arrive?"
"My jade pendant is with those two children. Only if they are dead can I conceal the truth."
Jiang Qingqing no longer wanted to argue with him.
Leaning against the wall, breathing lightly.
The effect of this medicine is really too torturous. Now she is like a bird trapped in a cage, and no matter how she struggles, she cannot escape from this cage.
Liu Xubai easily carried the person back to the room and put him on the bed.
"Please me, my dear."
The gentle words were inviting.
Jiang Qingqing could no longer hold on. She felt as if millions of ants were crawling on her body. If she had a dagger nearby, she would definitely stab herself.
I felt a chill on my shoulders and my clothes were taken off.
There was a determination in Liu Xu's eyes.
"Don't blame me, Qingqing."
Just as the lips were about to fall, the watch on Jiang Qingqing's wrist flashed red and she suddenly disappeared from the spot.

【Haicheng】
Fu Zhengnan, who had just finished a drinking party, leaned back in the back seat and closed his eyes to rest.
His suit jacket was thrown aside and his tie was half-ripped, revealing his sharp Adam's apple.
Buzzing up and down.
He actually didn't like drinking much, except for that time when he went to Liujin. He raised his hand to rub his nose and was about to roll down the window.
Suddenly, I felt a weight on my legs.
Accompanied by a few low hums.
Fu Zhengnan opened his drooping eyes and looked at Jiang Qingqing who suddenly appeared on his legs with a subtle expression.
Jiang Qingqing, who had lost consciousness, had a blurry vision and could only smell the fragrance of cedar mixed with a faint smell of alcohol from her nose.
But his body temperature was slightly cool, which just relieved the heat in my heart.
Jiang Qingqing moved forward.
