A lonely city



A lonely city

The fifth prince Jiang Mo had a blank expression on his face and a cold attitude, "You have to go even if you don't want to. This is the imperial decree."

"Fifth brother, if they can't reach an agreement, will they... kill us all? I heard that Yue Qinghai... he just killed our entire team of experts, all by himself! He was able to kill so many people, would he not dare to kill us?"

Jiang Mo nodded, "Indeed, the team sent out to rescue people was all killed by Yue Qinghai's 'Double Flying Swallows'. His swordsmanship is very special and very recognizable. As for our convoy... if he wants to, he can kill us all in an instant. It's very easy for him. And there's also He Xiao, whose martial arts are similar to his. These two people combined can kill even faster."

Jiang Yan cried even louder, "Then what should we do?"

Jiang Mo said again: "I heard that people killed by 'Double Flying Swallows' can see their bodies being divided into three parts before they die. It's very interesting."

Jiang Yan: "..."

"Your Highness, why are you scaring him?" Xia Wenxian said helplessly, "We are envoys going to negotiate. According to the rules, they will not kill envoys, don't worry. And..."

When he said this, he realized that he almost said the wrong thing and quickly shut up.

"Although we are both princes, we are not valued. Killing us doesn't make much sense." Jiang Mo finished what he didn't say.

"No... Your Highness, don't say that. I have no such intention." Xia Wenxian's forehead was sweating.

"It's okay, I'm not the kind of person who can't listen to the truth." Jiang Mo said calmly, "Originally, the third brother should have gone to the negotiation this time, but he obviously wanted to succeed the throne. If he went to negotiate, he would definitely not let the prince come back alive. The second brother died early, and the fourth brother is a stutterer, so we two princes with no real power were sent to negotiate... After all, the other side also sent a prince."

"..." Xia Wenxian wished he could lose his hearing immediately.

Although this is a fact, but... can this be said?

Jiang Mo continued to sigh, "I heard that the second prince of Dongyuan is a mediocre person, but his father and brother treat him very well, and their prince doesn't even have a trace of suspicion towards him. It's not like us who are only friendly on the surface, but secretly everyone wants to kill each other... I'm so jealous!"

"..." Xia Wenxian wanted to knock himself out.

Jiang Yan wiped his tears and interrupted, "Maybe it's because their prince is very strong and doesn't worry about anyone coveting his position. Unlike ours..."

Xia Wenxian: "..."

How come even the sixth prince was confused by him? Although he also felt that it was a bit absurd that the prince was captured in the enemy country because of his lust, he really couldn't say that!

It's so difficult for him to be the prime minister!

Although the convoy was moving slowly, it finally entered the city.

Along the way, I could hear passers-by talking about the thrilling competition.

"General He swung his sword, and Mr. Yue dodged it. The sword hit the roof. Guess what, the roof was chopped off by his sword!"

"I heard that the convoy from the Western Abyss Kingdom is coming soon. Tomorrow is the day for negotiation. I don't know if they dare to enter the city?"

"Hey... is that the convoy from the Western Abyss Kingdom?"

"Fuck! They actually entered the city!"

Jiang Yan held his head, "We shouldn't have come, we shouldn't have come..."

Jiang Mo stuck his head out of the car and asked the passers-by who were curiously watching, "Which inn is the Eastern Abyss Kingdom's convoy staying in?"

The passer-by's eyes turned, "The one in the west of the city arrived yesterday. There are only two inns in Sand City, so you... go to the east of the city, there is another one there."

"Oh, thank you."

"Haha, you're welcome!"

When Jiang Mo closed the car curtain, several passers-by began to laugh.

Almost all the people living in Sand City are fugitives, thieves, illegal merchants and other evil people. It is not easy for ordinary people to come here and get out alive. The reason why they did not attack the convoy was because they were not strong enough and could not beat them.

It is harder than climbing to the sky to hear a word of truth from them.

"They went to the east of the city!"

"Haha, they really went there. The Dongyuan Kingdom's convoy is also in the east of the city!"

"It's going to be a good show to watch..." Xia

Wenxian felt a little uneasy, "I heard that there are no good people in Sand City. Are they lying?"

Jiang Mo nodded, "They must be lying."

Xia Wenxian was going crazy, "Then why are you still going to the east of the city?"

Jiang Yan burst into tears, "Fifth brother, do you want to die early and reincarnate early? Don't take me with you! I don't want to die yet..."

Jiang Mo, however, was still expressionless, and said calmly, "We will meet tomorrow anyway, so it's not a bad thing to know more about them."

He paused, and said, "It's not a bad thing to reincarnate early."

Jiang Yan: "Ahhh..."

The shopkeeper of the East City Inn was basking in the sun at the door with nothing to do. He saw a group of people coming here from a distance, and he thought he was seeing things.

Rubbing his eyes, he confirmed that it was indeed a group of people, and they were dressed as soldiers of the Western Abyss Kingdom.

His face turned pale instantly.

These two groups of people will not... fight when they meet, right? With He Xiao and Yue Qinghai, two wreckers, around, if a fight breaks out, can the inn be saved? When

the convoy arrived, the shopkeeper hurriedly came forward and said with a smile: "Well... our inn already has a convoy staying, and I'm afraid there's not enough room for so many of you. How about... why don't you go to the one in the west of the city? There are more empty rooms there, so we can accommodate you!"

Xia Wenxian looked at Jiang Mo with a look of expectation on his face, nodding his head desperately.

Jiang Mo finally nodded, "Okay, the convoy will stay in the west of the city."

Xia Wenxian breathed a sigh of relief and was about to give the order when he saw Jiang Mo lift the curtain, jump out of the car, and say to the shopkeeper, "I can always stay here by myself, right?"

"Yes... yes." The shopkeeper was a little unbelievable. Although he was indeed not a good person, he still couldn't help reminding, "That... General He and Mr. Yue... also live here."

"Your Highness... you can't live here alone!" Xia Wenxian said anxiously, "It's too dangerous here, let's go to the west of the city together!"

Jiang Mo seemed not to hear him, "Which room do I stay in?"

... As

soon as Luo Jin woke up, a guard came over and told her that the person living next door to her was Jiang Mo, the fifth prince of the Xiyuan Kingdom.

She thought carefully for a long time before she remembered who Jiang Mo was.

The fifth prince of Xiyuan Kingdom had very few roles in the novel. It was only mentioned that he was of poor origin and did not have a high status among the princes. This man was also at odds with the prince, and later participated in the plan to assassinate the prince, but was killed because of his lack of strength. However, the prince also suffered huge losses, and his most important secret guards all died in the fight.

There is no plot of Jiang Ge being captured in the novel, and naturally there will be no scene of Jiang Mo coming to negotiate. According to the development of the novel, it is not yet time for Jiang Mo to appear.

He actually came here to live alone. Is he brave or has his brain gone?

Just as she was thinking, a guard came to call her and said that Chai Heng was looking for her.

Luo Jin followed the guards to Chai Heng's room and saw He Xiao was there too.

"What I mean is, we should find a chance to scare him. When he is in a weak mood during the negotiation tomorrow, he will be more likely to compromise." He Xiao said, "Among the people coming to negotiate, there are two princes. The sixth prince is young, so he should be the one leading the negotiation."

"But the other party should be well prepared, right? Will we end up making things worse by doing this?" Chai Heng was a little worried. "If it gets out, it will have a bad impact."

Luo Jin heard them discussing important matters and didn't know why he was called here. Hearing what He Xiao said, she was a little worried, "You wouldn't... throw some bloody animal corpses on his bed, would you? So disgusting..."

He Xiao smiled and said, "Animal corpses? That's too low-level..."

Luo Jin widened his eyes, "It can't be... human..."

"Uh... in your heart, am I so violent?" He Xiao smiled bitterly, "Although I have killed many people, they were all on the battlefield. I would not kill innocent people... although there are many innocent people in this Sand City."

Luo Jin smiled embarrassedly, "Indeed, General He is a very upright person. I think, after all, he is a prince, and bloody things may not scare him. And since he dares to live in the inn alone, I think he is not afraid of these means. How about... pretending to be a ghost? Let some ghost lights and phoenixes fly around in his room. I think the effect will be better."

"Ghost lights? Where are the ghost lights? Does phoenixes refer to the flying ghosts? I am familiar with this. I am very good at light work."

"As for the will-o'-the-wisp, just use phosphorus powder. It shouldn't be hard to buy." Luo Jin pondered for a while, "If we can catch fireflies, stick them on his window with honey and write the word 'death', the effect should be pretty good!"

Luo Jin was a little excited, "You guys go prepare the materials, I'll help! It sounds fun!"

He Xiao nodded and said, "I'll catch the fireflies. I think... it's really fun."

Chai Heng: "..."

Why are you still playing? I'm doing business!

...

Jiang Mo didn't leave the room after entering it. When it was almost dark, he asked someone to send some food.

When the guards dressed as waiters went to collect the dishes, it was already completely dark.

The guard reported back, "There is only one candle lit in his room, and there is a map and a few books on the table."

He Xiao waved his hand to let him go, "It's my turn! Miss Luo, follow the plan!"

Luo Jin made an "OK" gesture, "Understood!"

He Xiao was slightly startled, and then imitated her and made the same gesture, "Let's go!"

There was no moon tonight, and there were a few sparse stars hanging in the sky, and it was pitch black outside.

Several groups of blue light balls slowly rose in the night and slowly floated to Jiang Mo's window.

An extremely tall white figure was floating gently in the sky, and blue flames were burning around the body of this person. He looked like a demon from hell.

"Ghost!" The passers-by who saw the figure screamed in fear.

Luo Jin was waiting outside Jiang Mo's door. Her plan was to wait until Jiang Mo ran out in fear, then she would go into the house and write the word "death" on his window with honey, and then release fireflies. Fireflies would form the word "death" because of eating honey. This double horror effect would definitely scare Jiang Mo to death.

It is said that people in ancient times were quite superstitious. Look, everyone who passed by was scared.

At this time, Jiang Mo's door really opened, and a figure walked out of the house and went down the stairs on one side.
