Chapter 25 Arrogance
After galloping for three hours, Jin Sui was tired and hungry, but Han Xing and the others didn't seem to be tired at all, and they all looked solemn, just wanting to rescue their companions as soon as possible.
She was too embarrassed to complain of being tired. To play the role of the King of Glory, she had to act like a prince, and she didn't want to fail after just one day.
When Han Xing gave her water to drink, she quietly added some glucose water to it to replenish her strength.
Jiang Nansheng was appointed as the Lieutenant General of Huaizhou. Beyond Huaizhou were the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan. No wonder Prince Yu asked Jiang Nansheng to stop the Black Feather Camp.
The Sixteen Prefectures of Yan were occupied by foreign tribes on the border in the previous dynasty. Although they were recovered in this dynasty, there were many powerful and wealthy families in the local area, and the court officials had very little say there.
If Prince Yu allowed the generals from Yan to intercept him, the news would spread quickly and he would inevitably be branded as the murderer of his brother.
Jin Sui sneered. Compared with the royal family, Zheng and Jiang Youzhi were both good people.
He clearly wishes the other person dead, but he dares not admit it, so he can only send someone to kill him in secret.
Maybe when the news of Prince Li's death reaches Chang'an, Prince Yu and the Queen will cry more sadly than anyone else.
When he saw the Huaizhou city wall, Han Xing hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please allow me to go and call Jiang Nansheng."
Jin Sui raised her hand to stop him. Jiang Nansheng was determined to board Prince Yu's ship. He might even take the risk and kill her and these soldiers.
Another trick they used was to deceive the public by fabricating a story that the King of Li died at the hands of bandits.
"Just knock on the door here and ask Jiang Nansheng to come and welcome me! If he dares not to come, the entire Huaizhou official can testify that he is committing a crime of insubordination."
Humph, I still don't believe it. Prince Yu and Jiang Nansheng dare to silence all the people in Huaizhou? "Heihu, beat the gong and shout louder, let Jiang Nansheng get out!"
Hei Hu raised his hand holding the mallet, took a deep breath, and suddenly turned to ask Jin Sui: "How many times?"
Jinsui: ...
She seemed to know the 'Instruction Manual of Black Tiger'. Well, if used properly, this guy would indeed be a great assistant.
"Shout three times first."
Black Tiger had no more doubts, and while beating the gong he shouted at the top of his lungs three times:
"Jiang Nansheng, get out!"
In an instant, the soldiers on the Huaizhou city wall drew their bows and arrows, aiming at them.
Jin Sui then said to Hei Hu, "Shout 'Jiang Nansheng, do you want to murder the King of Li' three more times?"
Hei Hu really did say it word for word, and he shouted it three times, like the best tape recorder and loudspeaker.
At this time, Jiang Nansheng in the city heard the situation outside the city. He led his men to the city wall and whispered, "Quick, send a message to Commander Huo."
He couldn't help but curse:
"How useless! I have already detained the Black Feather Battalion, but they still let the King of Li walk out of Mount Yaohan alive."
A peregrine falcon flew out from Huaizhou City, soared into the sky, and then flew towards the Qiaohan Mountains.
It was almost dusk at this time, and the figures of Jinsui and his group were outside the city, stretched extremely long by the setting sun.
Perhaps it was because of her domineering aura that no one among the soldiers and officials on the Huaizhou city wall suspected that she was the fake King Li! This was the consequence of the underdeveloped information in this era. It was impossible for the royal family to paint portraits of royal family members and then send them to various places.
They would even deliberately hide their appearance from the public to avoid assassination attempts.
Many local officials went to Chang'an during the year of the imperial examination, and never returned to Chang'an since then.
When Prince Li was the crown prince, he spent little time in Chang'an and mostly in the military camp, which resulted in these officials not recognizing him.
As a result, they now recognize the seal but not the person, which gives Jinsui the opportunity to impersonate him.
When Jiang Nansheng climbed up the city wall to confront Jin Sui, Jin Sui asked first: "Jiang Nansheng, who gave you the guts to detain my personal guards!"
After she finished speaking, she said to Hei Hu, "Say it again."
Hei Hu immediately shouted at the top of his lungs, so loud that half the city could hear him.
Jiang Nansheng was furious. He was a powerful figure in Huaizhou. How could you, a deposed prince, not give me face? "I did not detain the King Li's personal guards. I detained the rebels who left the camp without permission!"
Jin Sui laughed loudly, raised the bronze seal, and shouted, "Is the prefect of Huaizhou here? Jiang Nansheng secretly detained my personal soldiers. If you don't give me an answer, I will not leave!"
"If you don't release my personal guards, I will camp outside Huaizhou City."
"Oh, that Yan land is desolate, so why not go there! Huaizhou is beautiful with clear water and mountains, just right for me to live in."
Hei Hu didn't want to say this, but felt aggrieved: "My Lord, Yandi is also very good, please don't refuse to go!"
Han Xing raised his hand and slapped him on the back of the head: "Shut up!"
Heihu felt even more aggrieved, but Jinsui almost laughed out loud, thinking that Heihu was so stupid because he was beaten by Han Xing.
When the people on the city wall saw the bronze seal clearly, a group of officials began to discuss the matter.
Of course, everyone was surprised. How could the behavior of the Li King be different from what was rumored? According to the rumors, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a man of great talent and strategy, outstanding and unique, calm in the face of adversity, and generous to others.
But the King of Li in front of him was too ostentatious and rude.
Could it be that his transformation from a crown prince, second only to the emperor, to a cruel king exiled to the frontier caused his temperament to change so drastically?
Jiang Nansheng was still thinking, how to kill the Li King and win the credit from the Yu King and the Queen? The best way is to kill him quietly outside the city.
But in this situation, the big black guy roared a few times and half of the people in the city heard it.
If he really died in Huaizhou, he would not be able to escape responsibility.
At this moment, Jin Sui revealed his inner thoughts again: "Could it be that Jiang Nansheng wants to kill me and win the credit from your master?"
"Do you think that if you kill me, the Emperor will spare your life? Do you think your master can save your life?"
"Hmph, Huaizhou officials, listen up, are you going to collude with Jiang Nansheng to kill the prince of Daxia?
Or release my guards? You can choose for yourself!"
Jiang Nansheng said anxiously:
"How dare you, King Li, spit blood on me? When did I ever want to kill you? I was just following the law and detaining the guards who escaped from the border."
Jin Sui waved his hand and said, "I won't waste my time talking to you. Let him go!"
Jiang Nansheng wanted to delay time and wait for Commander Huo to arrive.
At the same time, Commander Huo, who was still searching for King Li's body in the mountains, was shocked when he received the secret letter.
It was incredible. They saw the King of Li jump off the cliff with their own eyes. How could he reach the outskirts of Huaizhou in such a short time? Regardless of the truth, he had to rush to Huaizhou as soon as possible. A signal was blown immediately, and everyone stopped searching the mountain and gathered quickly.
When they heard the whistle, Grandpa Ling and the other two who were hiding in the cave all breathed a sigh of relief.
He has woken up and listened to Grandpa Ling talk about Gu Changxiao of the Jinsui Project.
He sighed softly and said:
"I wonder what method the young Taoist priest used to lure the enemy away? We must find the young Taoist priest as soon as possible, otherwise his life will be in danger."
Jin'an was about to cry again when he heard this. The child still thinks that it is all his fault.
It was because he ran around in the mountains recklessly and was caught by bandits that a series of events followed.
Grandpa Ling hurriedly comforted him: "Grandpa's divination is very accurate, your brother will definitely come back safely."
Grandpa Ling was very experienced. He had long seen that Gu Changxiao was not a simple person. Seeing that he had some trust in him, he asked tentatively:
"I wonder why those officials are chasing Master Gu?"
Gu Changxiao was silent for a while before he said:
"Please forgive me for not being able to tell you the truth. I promise that I will find you, the young Taoist priest, and reunite you and your grandchildren."
Grandpa Ling knew that there was no time to rush. Gu Changxiao was seriously injured and Jinsui had used his identity, so the three of them were destined to flee.
I still don’t believe it. I can’t find out your true identity along the way!
Dear book friends, it is not easy to publish a new book. I beg you to collect and vote for me. I will be very grateful!
Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I wish you all a happy holiday in advance! All the best! (End of this chapter)
