Chapter 275: Using Yourself as Bait
Jiang Lin agreed so quickly that Qin Xiangnuan felt a little guilty and said to Jiang Lin, "You are too indulgent to me."
"?" Jiang Lin raised his eyebrows in confusion at first, then he understood what Qin Xiangnuan was talking about.
"What's the big deal?" Jiang Lin said, "The outcome is good for me anyway."
Qin Xiangnuan smiled and stopped talking about this topic. She asked Jiang Lin about his understanding of King Cheng and King Li.
"They all have a bit of a bad temper." Jiang Lin said with a frown.
In theory, the enemy's violent and impulsive character is a good thing for them, so Qin Xiangnuan is sure that there will be a turning point later.
Sure enough, Jiang Lin continued, "Their father, King Han, is more irritable than them, but I don't think he's impulsive. At least when I'm around, the two brothers will never fight."
Qin Xiangnuan nodded, "That's just to maintain superficial peace."
Jiang Lin turned and looked at Xiang Nuan, wanting to hear her plan.
"It's very simple." Qin Xiangnuan nodded at the table. "You have someone reveal your whereabouts to King Li, so that he can hurt you more seriously."
This method sounds simple and crude, but it cannot be done too obviously, otherwise the two brothers will know that it was Jiang Lin's instigation.
This matter is neither difficult nor easy, but one thing is certain: you have to strike while the iron is hot.
So, the next day, the news that Jiang Lin was safe and sound spread.
"Miss Third, you'd better go back." Anliu followed Qin Xiangnuan, coaxing her patiently.
Qin Xiangnuan frowned, "Why don't you let me follow? This idea was my own after all."
Anliu nodded, "Yes, I understand, but Miss San, I am considering your safety."
Qin Xiangnuan stopped and turned to look at Anliu, who looked worried and said, "Why don't you go with Jiang Lin?"
"Master, there are people around." Anliu said, "I stayed here specifically to protect you."
Qin Xiangnuan sneered, "Anliu, what are you planning?"
Anliu glared at him. What little idea could he have? He just didn't want anyone to get hurt.
Before he could reply, Qin Xiangnuan said, "If you stop me again, I won't say anything good about you in front of Ying Niang anymore."
"Third Miss!" Anliu's eyes suddenly flashed with light. Ying Niang respected Qin Xiangnuan very much. If Qin Xiangnuan said a few nice words to her, the effect could be imagined.
"Will you let me stay?" Qin Xiangnuan asked confidently.
"No." Anliu raised the corner of his mouth, "I will swear to protect the safety of the Third Young Lady and will never leave.
Qin Xiangnuan smiled and nodded, then looked at the team behind her. Jiang Lin was going out to show off in public today. Ostensibly, it was to appease the troops and put an end to the panic caused by Jiang Lin's injury.
Qin Xiangnuan probably knew the undercurrent of worry. It was unreasonable for her to appear here with her identity. If she was seen by foreigners and aroused their curiosity, and then they found out about the Qin family, something would definitely go wrong.
However, Qin Xiangnuan couldn't help but keep an eye on Jiang Lin at this time. No matter how strong the protection was, it would always be unable to prevent some accidents. Qin Xiangnuan had to keep an eye on him.
So Qin Xiangnuan appeared behind Jiang Lin's convoy wearing men's clothes.
"Master, King Li has arrived." An Feng got news about the enemy, appeared silently in the crowd, and said to Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin pursed his lips and nodded, "You don't have to be too defensive later, but don't let anyone get seriously hurt."
"Understood." After receiving the order, An Feng hid somewhere else as if he had never appeared.
Jiang Lin was standing tall and straight on horseback, with no signs of injury at all.
"Haha, my second brother has made a great fool of himself this time." King Li stood on a high place and looked down at Jiang Lin in the crowd with a sneer on his face, not knowing whether it was directed at Jiang Lin or King Cheng.
"The younger brother can never beat the elder brother." The people around King Li flattered him, but they didn't know that their flattery backfired.
King Li's face darkened instantly, and his fierce gaze fell on the speaker, but the other party was still unaware.
"Get out!" King Li shouted, "Don't let me see you again."
The person who was complimenting him didn't know what went wrong. He stared at King Li with a dull face and muttered, "King Li, I..."
"Get out! Don't make me say it again!" King Li said with gritted teeth, and the person was immediately scared away.
After the figure disappeared from King Li's sight, he turned back to where Jiang Lin was. At this time, they had entered the trap set by King Li.
"Shoot!" King Li gave the order, and hundreds of sharp arrows were shot towards Jiang Lin and the others.
"Quick, protect the master!"
The sword wind coming from afar made Jiang Lin and the others extremely nervous. The secret guards surrounded the people in the center of the circle, looking invulnerable.
People watching from a distance did not see carefully, but when the arrows hit people, they were bounced back to the ground by an invisible force.
But at this moment, a lone arrow flew from nowhere and firmly pierced Jiang Lin's heart, and traces of blood oozed out.
While others were excited, Qin Xiangnuan breathed a sigh of relief. The needle was really accurate and hit the blood clot right away.
"Master!" the secret guard exclaimed, sounding as sad and angry as possible.
King Li saw with his own eyes that the arrow firmly pierced Jiang Lin's body, and Jiang Lin fell under the horse the next moment, but fortunately he was supported by someone.
"King Li, their people fought back!" Several people from the archery area were killed by Jiang Lin's men. It seemed that they were angry because of Jiang Lin's problems, and some people were bloodthirsty.
King Li withdrew his gaze from the increasingly weak Jiang Lin, a smile on his face as he happily shouted, "Retreat."
"Master, are you okay?" In the script Qin Xiangnuan had set up in advance, there was no scene where Jiang Lin fell off the horse. An Feng, who was supporting Jiang Lin, couldn't help but ask nervously.
Jiang Lin closed his eyes and asked with his lips slightly parted, "Is the person gone?"
"Let's go." An Feng responded after looking around, but he was still staring at Jiang Lin nervously.
At this time, Qin Xiangnuan also came over, her face looking unhappy. She happened to hear An Feng's answer, and saw Jiang Lin slowly open his eyes after listening.
"Nuannuan." Jiang Lin suddenly saw Qin Xiangnuan's unhappy face and felt a little guilty, "I just did that for..."
"Prince Jiang wants to make the acting more realistic, I understand." Qin Xiangnuan said this, but the expression on her face did not seem so open-minded.
"Nuan..." Jiang Lin wanted to say something urgently, but the power he relied on from An Feng was gradually decreasing.
Qin Xiangnuan sensed his motives, placed a hand on Jiang Lin's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "You have to act the whole way. Don't mess it up now."
Without waiting for Jiang Lin's response, he raised his voice and said, "The master is seriously injured. Take the people back quickly."
