Chapter 26: Demanding People
Outside Huaizhou City, Jin Sui discovered that Jiang Nansheng was not going to release the people, but he did not take the next step.
I immediately understood that this old fox was delaying time. He didn't dare to kill King Li and was waiting for the person who wanted to kill King Li to come.
Jin Sui acted decisively and decided to take a risk to overcome the situation.
He immediately dismounted, holding the bronze token in his hand, and walked towards the city gate step by step:
"Open the city gate, I want to enter the city!"
Han Xing was shocked and hurriedly chased after him: "No, Your Majesty!"
Jin Sui sneered loudly, "I want to see if this Huaizhou official has the guts to kill the Great Xia prince!"
Huaizhou officials certainly don’t have the guts!
Although Prince Li was a deposed crown prince, even the emperor did not kill him but only allowed him to return to his fiefdom, so his identity was the prince of Daxia.
Killing him secretly is one thing, but killing him in front of the whole city is a rebellion! When Jin Sui saw Jiang Nansheng and found that he didn't dare to do anything despite repeated provocations, he knew that he was a coward and didn't dare to kill the King of Li.
Of course, as long as her identity is not exposed, she is safe.
Therefore, the more critical the situation was, the more she had to act like the King of Li.
King Li, you have been the crown prince for more than ten years. Would you be afraid of a small city guard like you? "Follow me into the city and see who dares to take action!"
When they reached the city gate, the two guards stretched out their spears tremblingly.
Jin Sui drew the long sword from Hei Hu's waist and pointed at the guard angrily:
"How dare you not kneel before the seal of the King of Li?"
Her voice sounded very much like Gu Changxiao's, carrying the majesty and anger of a superior.
The highest official the two young guards had ever seen in their lives was a fifth-rank official. When they saw the former crown prince getting angry, they were so scared that they dropped their spears and knelt on the ground.
The herd mentality, or the mentality of the mob, when someone takes the lead in kneeling, the others who are standing begin to feel that they are wrong.
Jin Sui shouted again: "You guys don't kneel when you see me?"
Han Xing was very clever and immediately shouted: "Citizens of Huaizhou, welcome His Majesty the King of Li!"
The dozen or so soldiers from the Black Feather Camp roared in unison at the same time.
The sound traveled far away, and the three hundred imprisoned soldiers heard it faintly. They were overjoyed and said in unison:
"Brother Han really brought King Li to rescue us!"
At the same time, they echoed and shouted: "Huaizhou citizens, welcome His Majesty the King of Li!"
When the confused people in the city heard this, they didn't care about anything else and just knelt down first.
At that moment, all the people in the city knelt on the roadside, and the timid minor officials and soldiers who were far away from Jiang Nansheng also saluted.
These officials knew very well that Jiang Nansheng boarded Prince Yu's ship and made things difficult for Prince Li. He was doing his master's job and would be rewarded if he did a good job.
What do they have? The reward from Prince Yu could not reach them, but the punishment from Prince Li was right in front of them! In a rage, Prince Li really killed several people who did not obey the prince, and they died in vain.
Jiang Nansheng was about to say, stop him and don't let him enter the city.
When I looked back, I saw a large group of people kneeling behind me.
This was his own fault. He was too arrogant and bullied the local officials too harshly, and all the local civil servants were at odds with him.
When King Li entered the city with a dozen personal guards, Jiang Nansheng was the only one in the entire city, standing on the city wall like a fool.
The rest of the people either knelt down and kowtowed or bowed their hands in greeting.
Jinsui climbed up the city wall step by step, staring at Jiang Nansheng with a smile.
At this moment, she was really possessed by the spirit of acting. She felt that she had a firm grasp on the role of the King of Li, and her performance was flawless.
Of course, she had only been with Gu Changxiao for a short time, and she didn't know what the real King would do when he came. Without time to think about it, Jin Sui continued her performance: "Why? General Jiang thinks that this king is not worthy of your salute?"
As she spoke, she walked towards Jiang Nansheng, and then she saw Jiang Nansheng retreating again and again. She threw away the knife in her hand with a laugh and hung the bronze token around her waist.
He laughed loudly and said, "Is General Jiang afraid of me?"
She spread her hands and turned them around:
"I am unarmed now. I have heard that General Jiang of Huaizhou is brave. Could it be that the rumor is false? You don't even dare to get close to me?"
After these words were spoken, if Jiang Nansheng took another step back, he would be branded a coward.
The prefect of Huaizhou was also an interesting person. He took the initiative to walk up to Jinsui and bowed, and looked at Jiang Nansheng provocatively.
He is a military general, but he is not as good as a civil official.
Jin Sui smiled and patted the prefect's shoulder to show his praise, but his heart was beating fast. If Grandpa Ling saw this, he would surely be scared to death.
She smiled and walked forward again. Jiang Nansheng really did not retreat, but bowed and smiled:
"Your Highness, you misunderstood. I didn't know those people were your guards...ah!"
Before he could finish his words, the King of Li suddenly stepped forward with his hands empty, turned his wrist, and seemed to pull out a short blade from the air.
He held his wrist with one hand and placed it on the brick, then raised his hand and stabbed his palm with the knife.
Jiang Nansheng knew Kung Fu, but when he saw the word "Jun" on the short blade, he was in excruciating pain and did not dare to fight the King of Li!
Han Xing and Hei Hu were afraid that he would fight back, so they immediately protected King Li.
It turned out that this man was extremely servile to the royal family and had long lost the courage of a military general.
Jin Sui, who was playing with Gu Changxiao's short blade, sneered:
"You said that if I killed you here, would your master avenge you?"
Jiang Nansheng clenched his wrist tightly, his eyes full of anger.
Jin Sui continued, "Of course not! If a dog dies in the wild, the owner will only blame the dog for being useless!"
"So, be smart and release my men immediately. I will rush to Yan right away. At most, your master will blame you for your incompetence, which is better than losing your life."
Jiang Nansheng remained silent, but the deputy generals and civil servants behind him could not stand it any longer, fearing that he would really fight with King Li, and then Huaizhou would be flooded with blood!
He hurried forward and advised: "General, let the King go!"
Jiang Nansheng glanced outside the city and saw that there was still no news from Commander Huo. This King Li was a troublemaker and if things dragged on, he would be the one to suffer.
It would be better to let him go and let Commander Huo go to Yan to assassinate him.
He gritted his teeth and said, "General, let him go."
Jin Sui folded his hands and raised his eyebrows:
"You said it so reluctantly, and my people were detained by you in Huaizhou for so many days for no reason. Are you going to let it go?"
"What do you think of me, the King?"
The prefect of Huaizhou was a smart man. He understood as soon as he heard this. The king was angry with Jiang Nansheng, and the knife had already been cut. This was to hold the entire Huaizhou official responsible!
He hurried forward and saluted, saying, "It is true that Huaizhou failed to do its job properly and mistakenly arrested the prince's personal guard. How does the prince think Huaizhou should apologize?"
At this moment, all the officials had only one thought, which was to send this evil king away quickly!
The rumors in Chang'an were indeed unbelievable. The prince who was kind to others was obviously a scoundrel! Jin Sui wanted to take the initiative. Before, they wanted to stop her outside the city, but she insisted on entering the city.
Now they wanted her to leave quickly, but she refused to leave.
He waved his hand and said, "Let my people out first."
The prefect looked at Jiang Nansheng pleadingly, "No matter how much we disagree or fight among ourselves, we must unite against the King of Li at this moment. We cannot let anything happen to Huaizhou!"
Jiang Nansheng gritted his teeth and ordered: "Release him!"
Soon, three hundred Yandi Black Feather Army soldiers appeared on the streets of the city and saluted the handsome man beside Captain Han:
"Meet the King of Li!"
