Chapter 291: Confrontation at the City Gate (Part 2)
It costs one hundred taels of silver to buy a good horse.
Fortunately, Cui Hejin gave her the banknote, otherwise she would not be able to buy the horse now.
Of course, Jiang Zhiluo only brought two banknotes, two hundred taels of silver, and she placed the rest on the bedside.
She didn't know when she would go back, and she couldn't let Cui Hejin and Old Madam Cui be without money.
I don’t know how Cui Hejin would react if he knew.
He looked cold and aloof, but if he was unhappy, she could tell.
So when I came out, I really didn't dare to talk to him about this in person.
To put it bluntly, she was still a little timid when facing Cui Hejin.
Just because she owed him in her previous life.
Jiang Zhiluo felt a headache when she thought about this.
But the riding won't stop.
Jiang Zhiluo rode as fast as she could and didn't dare to stop at all.
When she was tired, she would drink the spiritual spring water herself and also give it to the horse.
He even used his wood-related abilities to extract energy from leaves to feed his horse.
The food she ate was also some of the food stored in her space.
Even if her food was simpler, she would feed the horse better.
Fortunately, thanks to the spiritual spring water and wood-related abilities, Ma was able to hold on.
After five days of galloping, they arrived at Jinsha Prefecture.
Jiang Zhiluo found a temporary place to put the horse according to her memory, and then sneaked into a house.
According to the time she told herself in her dream, the black-clad killers and Qiao Mengmeng were here at this time.
Tomorrow, they will take Qiao Mengmeng to the outskirts of Jiangzhou City to force Yun Luoxiao.
Fortunately, she caught up.
But after entering the house, I only found one person and no one else in the house.
Jiang Zhiluo's face changed drastically. She fell from the air and quickly took the man hostage.
The dagger was pointed at the man's neck. "Tell me, where are your accomplices?"
Jiang Zhiluo is extremely fast, and she uses her wood-based abilities to hide herself, making it difficult for others to detect her whereabouts.
What's more, the person who stayed behind to guard the house has average ability.
The man's face turned pale. He didn't expect that someone could hold him hostage without anyone noticing.
"I don't know what you're talking about. This is my home, my house. Whatever you do, I'm warning you, I'll report it to the police."
Jiang Zhiluo was too lazy to talk nonsense, mainly because she was anxious and wanted to find Qiao Mengmeng as soon as possible.
The time told to her in the dream was this time.
Qiao Mengmeng should be here, why isn't she here?
Or is it that the things in the dream are fake?
But before leaving, she went to the backyard of the academy and saw signs of fighting and blood.
Just as she had been told in her dream.
All we can say is that some of the people who protected Qiao Mengmeng were killed and Qiao Mengmeng was taken hostage.
These people are really going to great lengths and are so despicable.
Jiang Zhiluo put a pill directly into the man's mouth.
"Tell me, where is your accomplice, that little girl?"
The medicine melted in his mouth and took effect quickly. The man mechanically said, "They took people to Jiangzhou City."
"What are you going to do when you leave?"
"She left yesterday to force the Crown Prince to withdraw his troops. Even if he didn't, the death of this little girl would ruin part of his reputation..."
Jiang Zhiluo's eyes were filled with murderous intent. "Who ordered you to do this?"
"Why did you attack her?"
"It was the Emperor's intention. The Prince arranged for us to do this..."
Jiang Zhiluo wished she could run to Nanjing City right now and kill all the emperor's men.
The reason why the Wei family was charged with treason and the crown prince was murdered was also related to this emperor.
Jiang Zhiluo's heart was filled with crazy murderous intent, and there was a bloodthirsty cold light in her eyes.
However, she suppressed the murderous intent surging in her heart and continued to ask a few questions.
Then he just killed the person.
Jiang Zhiluo was anxious, wondering how the time could have been advanced.
Everything happened just as in the dream, except that the time was two days earlier.
Jiang Zhiluo's face suddenly changed. She whistled after going out, got on her horse and rushed to Jiangcheng at a very fast speed.
…
Outside the gate of Jiangcheng
The general defending the city waved his hand.
A man in black came over holding Qiao Mengmeng hostage.
He stood on the city wall, his hands pinching Qiao Mengmeng's neck, and shouted to the attacking troops outside the city: "Everyone, look who this is!"
"A mere Crown Prince disguised himself as a woman just to save his life. How cowardly..."
"I don't know why you guys would pledge allegiance to such a coward. You're willing to sacrifice your dignity just to stay alive."
"Haha, take a good look, this is the daughter of the Crown Prince."
"If you dare to attack the city, I will kill her."
"Of course, if Her Highness the Crown Prince kneels down, cripples her legs, retreats, and swears not to attack again, I will spare her life!"
"Your Highness, everyone says you're as kind and wise as the Crown Prince. So many people are flocking to you. Now let's see what kind of person you really are. Are you ruthless and don't care about your daughter's life? Or are you disregarding the lives of your soldiers and betraying everyone who has come to you for your daughter's sake?"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Wild laughter rang out from the city wall.
They were about to attack the city and capture another one, but they stopped here.
Seeing this scene, Yun Luoxiao's expression, which usually showed no emotion, changed, and everyone around him turned pale.
“It’s despicable!”
The counselor beside Crown Prince Yun Luoxiao said, "That man is Lü Limeng!"
Lu Limeng is the son of Lu Guojiu.
I didn't expect that he would be sent here this time.
"They are deliberately humiliating Your Highness. After they humiliate Your Highness, they will not let you go."
"Uncle Lu is cruel and ruthless, and Lu Limeng is even more so."
The Lu family has been cruel and brutal more than once or twice.
Of course, the eldest prince was also the son of Empress Lu, and was protected by Uncle Lu.
They are all birds of a feather.
Yun Luoxiao looked at Qiao Mengmeng who was being held hostage.
Qiao Mengmeng was actually very scared, but she knew she couldn't cry, so even though her neck hurt, she didn't cry, but her eyes were red.
She saw her mother, no, not her mother now, but she was very happy when she saw her.
Yun Luoxiao's eyes trembled violently and his nose felt sore.
Even though Mengmeng is the daughter of Dalang of the Wei family, she has always been by his side. How could he let her lose her life?
She was so sensible and well-behaved. Even when she was sick and in pain, she would reach out to comfort him first.
The Wei family is full of loyal and brave people, and only Qiao Mengmeng is alive. She can't let anything happen to Mengmeng.
"I sent hundreds of secret guards to protect Mengmeng and prevent anyone from knowing her information, but I didn't expect that someone would find out anyway."
The counselor said, "There must be a traitor. They are obviously well prepared."
"Your Highness, you must not agree to them. They are humiliating you."
Yun Luoxiao closed his eyes tightly and said, "I will deal with him first to buy time. You arrange to rescue him. Save him at all costs."
The counselor's expression changed, "Your Highness!"
"I've made up my mind. Don't worry, we'll attack the city after we rescue them."
Yun Luoxiao would not trust the people of the Lu family, as they were people who never kept their promises.
