After giving Jiang Ling a warning, the military advisor returned to the platform and mobilized troops to pursue Jiang Jie's army.
So, the military advisor was tired and took a rest, just to give Jiang Ling a warning?
Jiang Ling stood under the general's platform, looking at the military advisor who was busy again, and was very surprised.
In the Sun Principality, does the military advisor have such great power?
Besides offering advice to the people, you can also mobilize troops?!
Isn't Duke Sun afraid that the military advisor will monopolize his power and even sideline him? Or even worse, usurp the throne and establish himself?
The military advisor and his officers and soldiers seemed to be used to it, which was really strange!
Such a thing is simply unimaginable in the Jiang Principality!
The Jiang clan's lords were always obsessed with power. If a certain noble became powerful, they would be afraid that the other party would try to get their hands on it, so they would get rid of them.
Of course, many times executions cannot be carried out openly and can only be planned in secret.
Secret guards naturally came into being.
For example, the head of the Lin family, the head of the nobles, is a thorn in Jiang Jie's side, a thorn in his flesh, and he is eager to eliminate him as soon as possible. Why? Does he have the intention of rebellion?
No, but the Lin family is too powerful. This is your fault, and this is the reason to get rid of you.
Thinking of this, he lowered his head to glance at Lin's father's head and thought to himself, "Master Lin, your death is not my fault. It was the intention of Jiang Jie and Duke Sun. If you are uneasy and want to seek revenge, then go to them. I am just a pawn."
…
On the road between the two martial arts training grounds and the island in the middle of the lake, Lin's father climbed up to look into the distance, feeling uneasy as he watched the army return in defeat.
"Master, a letter from the young master."
Father Lin immediately took it and read it carefully.
He sighed and said, "Xiaoyu is on the island, but his guess was very accurate. Xiaoyu said that the Jiang family would win first and then lose. He also said that if we lose, it might be a big defeat, and asked me to make more preparations. I didn't expect his prediction to come true!"
"The young master is smart, the head of the family should be happy."
Father Lin smiled and said, "I'm not unhappy. After all, I'm old and useless. I'm very happy that my heir is so outstanding!"
The person who spoke secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In the past, whenever this master and the young master met, they would always quarrel and disagree with each other. It was really so serious that even his subordinate would worry for the young master.
The head of the family only lost his composure in front of the young master.
This also made him, the person in charge of the intelligence network, understand how important Lin Yu's position was in the eyes of the head of the family.
Father Lin carefully folded the letter and asked, "How are Yingzi and the others?"
Although he had expected this, Father Lin still asked again.
"Shadow and the others were all killed in battle!"
Father Lin sighed and asked, "Who did it?"
Is it Jiang or Sun? He must know this!
"The whole army was wiped out! The attackers must have been members of the secret guards. However, after Jiang Ling obtained Shadow's head, he actually broke with the secret guards and ran to the Sun clan. This makes it difficult for me to determine who Jiang Ling is and who was responsible for the attack!"
Different positions naturally lead to different ideas. Without specific intelligence support, the person in charge of the intelligence network dared not say much when reporting back.
As the head of a noble family, Lin's father naturally had a broader perspective. He immediately understood what was going on!
"The shadow's protective power is his personal guard! Naturally, their strength is not weak! The secret guards were able to eliminate them all, which shows that the secret guards under Jiang Jie's command are very powerful!"
"Nonsense! If the secret guards weren't so powerful, how could they have assassinated a top noble like me? What a pity, Shadow died like this! Diing in the lord's conspiracy and assassination, it's really not worth it!!"
"My lord, they died a worthy death as long as they could save your life! Please accept my condolences!"
"Well, their glory is with my Lin family. Let's not talk about them anymore. Arrange for people to go down the mountain and reorganize this army!"
"Sir, this isn't a good thing, is it?"
"Why not? Jiang Jie can't even protect himself, so there's no need to worry about him!"
After the messenger left, Father Lin looked at the soldiers at the foot of the mountain and sighed again, "Now that things have come to this, we can no longer count on Jiang Jie. We must stop them and interrupt Sun's pursuit."
Thinking of this, I went downstairs to make arrangements.
…
Jiang Jie looked back and saw Duke Sun who had been following him all the way. He couldn't help but admire his persistence.
Jiang Jie learned sword skills and was a swordsman among the military advisors. He mainly performed assassination tasks and served as a scout and personal guard.
In the past, lords had chosen a wide variety of military branches and learned everything. However, what was interesting was that in recent years, quite a few lords had learned swordsmanship!
Jiang Jie is one of them!
Sun Guogong, with a knife! He has been chasing Jiang Jie and slashing at him. He wants to kill him with one blow!
But Jiang Jie does have a lot of good things!
Both the elixirs and weapons are of top quality, and his fighting skills are very powerful, but he is not proficient in them.
Jiang Jie had already used up two life-saving items, and then, as if to tease someone, he took out another one, and it was obvious that he was very proud of it. In fact, he did it on purpose to irritate Duke Sun. Even in the system's mercenary system, life-saving items are still very expensive!
Ordinary people really can’t afford it!
Both of them have been holding on and refusing to give up.
Duke Sun felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and killed Jiang Jie in one go.
Jiang Jie naturally didn't dare to give up simply to save his life!
"Duke Sun, I've lost this time. I admit defeat. How about we both solve the problem?"
At this time, Jiang Jie's youth and lack of combat experience were once again revealed.
Originally, Duke Sun had given up hope and didn't plan to pursue the matter any further. However, when Jiang Jie showed weakness, Duke Sun's hope was rekindled!
As for reconciliation? How could reconciliation be possible? Jiang Jie's political show after becoming the lord - the military performance between the two places, should have ended with his victory, and he would be the one to firmly establish his position as lord.
But, he destroyed it.
How could Jiang Jie not hate him?
This is a lifelong shame for him!
It is to be recorded in the clan history and passed down from generation to generation.
Not only the family history of his own family, but also the family history of all nobles.
They will inquire carefully and record this battle in detail.
He, Jiang Jie, will be infamous forever because of this battle.
Such hatred is already a deadly feud!
Are you so naive as to want to reconcile with him?
How is that possible?
Anyway, Duke Sun doesn’t believe it at all!
Jiang Jie's words not only failed to stop Duke Sun from chasing and killing, but instead aroused Duke Sun's courage.
Duke Sun is old and has long lost the courage and vigor of youth.
However, he was provoked by Jiang Jie.
"Really? The longer he lives, the worse he gets! Well, even if there are some aftereffects, I'm going to keep him here!"
Duke Sun finally made up his mind. Even if it meant giving up one or two of his trump cards, he would kill Jiang Jie and eliminate the trouble once and for all!
