Chapter 285: Killed in One Bite
"Good idea." Xia Qi smiled and gave Xiao Ling an appreciative look, then made a decision immediately. "Xiao Ling and I will rush out and capture the Jiang woman. Gao Ping, you lead your men to use bows and arrows to distract us and protect us, so that the guards around Jiang can't come to the rescue."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Cui Jun, who looked disapproving, and said, "Mr. Cui, you are not secretly helping the Jiang family, are you?"
Cui Jun said with a cold expression, "If I wanted to help the Lu family, I wouldn't have used the Cui family's caravan to escort you to Lingnan."
Xia Qi smiled and warned, "Just know what you should do."
If this matter is accomplished, they will be great heroes in front of the emperor.
Cui Jun said hatefully, "Let's not talk about whether you can capture Jiang. Even if you can capture Jiang, if Lu Shiyan doesn't care if she lives or dies and directly sends a large army to attack, what are you going to do? Let the entire Cui family be buried with you?"
"How could Lu Shiyan not care about Jiang's life or death? Didn't he shape Jiang into a disciple of the immortal? If he doesn't save her, how can the people be willing?"
Xia Qi smiled and raised his chin. "If you're smart, you should start preparing now. When the time comes, you can use public opinion to pressure him so that he'll be forced to follow our lead instead of questioning us. If we fail, your Cui family will be the first to suffer. Master Cui, you can't have the best of both worlds. Don't even think about trying to please both sides."
"I'll go and notify Qishan and the others to come and support us." Cui Jun uttered a few words through his teeth and left in a huff.
Xia Qi looked at Cui Jun's back with a smug smile, "That's right!"
Gao Ping felt relieved and asked worriedly, "What about Manager Shen?"
"Don't worry about him for now. Wait until he comes back and give him a big surprise." Xia Qixiao saw the opportunity and rushed out first.
Jiang Tangtang was identifying the small amount of weeds growing on the mudflats one by one. She remembered eating a kind of dumplings before. The dumpling filling was made of wild vegetables grown on saline land, and it tasted very delicious.
The key point is that I heard that this wild vegetable grown in saline soil has high nutritional value.
If this crop can be found, it will undoubtedly be another sure-fire weapon in the fight against drought.
This area was vast and unobstructed, and Yuan San spotted Xia Qixiao and his men the moment they rushed out. However, the moment he spotted them, countless arrows also flew towards him.
The mudflats were full of silt, and the carriages did not follow. They did not bring shields and other things to defend against arrows, so they could only temporarily use the big swords they carried with them to resist.
Although the arrows failed to hit them due to the distance, they did stop them in their tracks.
Xia Qi smiled and saw that his method worked. A hint of contempt appeared in his eyes, and the knife in his hand quickly attacked Jiang Tangtang.
But there was no fear or screaming as she had imagined. The woman actually dodged her attack nimbly.
Xia Qixiao stared at the long sword in his hand in a daze. He couldn't believe that a weak woman like Jiang could avoid his long sword.
He must have been afraid of harming her life and didn't want to negotiate with Lu Shiyan, so he used less force, allowing her to dodge. Xia Qixiao used more force and attacked Jiang Tangtang again.
But this time, something even more shocking happened to him.
Jiang Tangtang raised his hand and summoned a majestic tiger. The tiger opened its mouth and roared at him, then pounced on him like lightning.
Xia Qixiao never believed in ghosts and gods. As for the rumor that Jiang Tangtang was a disciple of a god, he was even more convinced that it was a rumor spread by Lu Shiyan deliberately to create momentum in order to fight for the world.
He never expected that Jiang Tangtang was truly the descendant of a god and could even summon a divine tiger out of thin air to serve her.
Because he was too shocked, Xia Qixiao forgot to run and was bitten on the neck by the tiger.
The sudden tiger roar made Xia Qi laugh and collapse to the ground. Xiao Ling and others were also stunned.
While Xiao Ling was stunned, Xi Xiong, who had been at a disadvantage in the fight, suddenly counterattacked and knocked Xiao Ling to the ground. Yuan San also seized the opportunity while Gao Ping and others were stunned and pounced.
But in a moment, the situation was reversed.
Xiao Ling, Gao Ping and others were all captured.
At the same time, Xiao Xian was escorting Shen Yicheng halfway when they heard a tiger roar, and they all said in unison: "Madam is in danger."
They looked at each other and rushed back regardless of their own safety.

Jiang Tangtang looked at the bloody man on the ground and felt a little nauseous and a little cold.
Even though she had been here for so long, she knew this wasn't a modern society ruled by law. If Lili hadn't helped her, she might have been the one to die today.
But seeing a living person dying in a bloody mess in front of me still made me feel physically uncomfortable.
Either I think he shouldn't have died, or I think it was too bloody.
She also once again experienced the cruelty of this world.
This is a world where you could lose your life at any moment. To live in this world, you must be extremely alert and ruthless, otherwise you might die if you are not careful.
"Madam, all the people have been caught." Yuan San said with his head down.
Jiang Tangtang nodded and said, "Interrogate them to find out how many people there are and who sent them."
Yuan San said carefully, "Madam, would you like to go back to the car and rest first? I'll report back to you when I have some news."
"Let me take another look while you guys continue the interrogation." Jiang Tangtang suppressed the discomfort in her heart and took Lili to see the wild vegetables they had previously researched.
Lili nudged Jiang Tangtang's feet with her head in a flattering manner.
Jiang Tangtang looked at the tiger, whose fur still had blood on its mouth but looked innocent and cute, not at all ferocious. She raised her hand and touched its head, "Thank you for protecting me."
Lili tilted her head, as if asking, why are you still not happy?
Jiang Tangtang smiled and said, "I'm not unhappy, I'm just scared. Lili is getting more and more powerful."
Knowing that staying in the space is good for Lili and Lili also likes to stay in the space, Jiang Tangtang often lets Lili stay in the space.
The long-term nourishment of spiritual energy made Lili more and more powerful, and he really looked a bit like a divine beast.
The guards of the escort team were in awe of Lili.
Jiang Tangtang will not hide her secrets when she summons Lili out, because summoning Lili will not reveal her secrets, but will make her even more excited.
Lili rubbed Jiang Tangtang's hand a few more times, and Jiang Tangtang felt that all her bad moods were cured by it.
She began to understand why so many people liked to keep cats and dogs. At this time, they were really healing.
When Xiao Xian and his group hurried back, they saw this heartwarming scene.
Shen Yicheng, who was dragged here like a dead dog, happened to hit the stone at this moment. Shen Yicheng, who woke up again after fainting, also saw the scene in front of him.
On one side was the bloody interrogation, and on the other side was the peaceful years. He had an inexplicable sense of the absurdity of a world being torn apart.
Shen Yicheng closed his eyes and told himself that this must be a dream.
