Chapter 615, In Shortage
"Brother Yang!"
"Xiao Yeyang, what are you doing?!"
"presumptuous!"
Seeing Xiao Yeyang throw away the mandarin duck jade pendant given by the empress dowager, Jiang Wanying, Jiang Canzheng, and the middle-aged eunuch all spoke out.
Mrs. Jiang, who was standing by, was stunned at first, and then her face turned ashen.
This Xiao Yeyang had already embarrassed Wanying in public on the Dragon Boat Festival. This time was even worse. He not only slapped their family in the face, but also slapped the Queen Mother in the face.
The middle-aged eunuch was also very angry. That was a reward from the Queen Mother, but the young prince just threw it away. This was a great disrespect to the Queen Mother.
Just when Councillor Jiang was about to reprimand Xiao Yeyang further, two heavy objects fell to the ground with "bang, bang" sounds.
Everyone turned around and saw that they were two men in black.
Looking at Councillor Jiang who was standing there motionless, Xiao Yeyang reminded him, "Councillor Jiang, you should quickly ask the guards to check around."
Minister Jiang came to his senses and left immediately with great speed.
At this time, Xiao Yeyang looked at the middle-aged eunuch and said, "Just now, the matter was too urgent, and I accidentally threw away the Queen Mother's reward. Please go back and talk to the Queen Mother about it."
The middle-aged eunuch was stunned for a moment, looked at Madam Jiang hesitantly, and said, "Is it possible to find the jade pendant?"
Xiao Yeyang shrugged: "I don't know about that." He had just used all his strength, so even if he found the jade pendant, it would definitely be broken.
Mrs. Jiang immediately took over the conversation: "I will send someone to look for him immediately."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of fighting outside the yard.
This scared the women in each family.
"What's going on recently? Duanwu was assassinated when he attended the Guo family's banquet, and now he's assassinated again when he attended the Jiang family's banquet."
Mrs. Jiang didn't bother looking for the jade pendant anymore and took Jiang Wanying back to the attic.
Xiao Yeyang stood there without moving. He stayed here for one reason or another to protect Daohua, in case the Jiang family's guards weren't paying attention and let the killer in.
Secondly, he didn't want to help the Jiang family. He was tricked by Councillor Jiang to come here today. When he thought of the rewards given by the Empress Dowager, he felt even more disgusted with the Jiang family.
Listening to the fierce fighting outside the yard, Xiao Yeyang frowned.
There are quite a few killers this time, but why?
At this time, Defu came with Deshou and Delu.
Defu walked up to Xiao Yeyang and whispered, "It's the Eighth Prince's men."
Xiao Yeyang: "Do you know why?"
Defu's face showed an indescribable expression. "It's also Jiang Canzheng's bad luck. It seems that Monk Dunkong hid here for two days before."
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang instantly understood why the killer came.
The list left by Monk Dunkong almost includes all the officials of the Eight Kings and their party hiding in the three provinces of Zhongzhou, Fenxi, and Jiguang. How could the other party not be anxious?
Madam Li took Daohua and Yan Yihan and hid in a corner of the attic. She held Daohua in her arms and kept saying, "Don't be afraid, everything will be fine."
Daohua was not really afraid. It was because through the crack in the attic door, she saw Xiao Yeyang standing outside.
It was about a quarter of an hour later that it became quiet outside.
The Jiang family's maid trembled as she opened the door. Madam Jiang did not leave immediately. She asked Xiao Yeyang, who was standing outside, with some uncertainty, "Have all the assassins been killed?"
Xiao Yeyang said casually: "Probably."
At this time, Jiang Wanying spoke up: "Brother Yang, can you go and help my father? I don't know how he is doing now."
Xiao Yeyang glanced at her calmly and said, "Jiang Canzheng is surrounded by so many experts, he will be fine."
Since the Eight Kings and their faction have pointed their spearhead at the Jiang family, he doesn't want to get involved.
Mrs. Guo immediately took over the conversation: "Yeyang is right. Jiang Chengzheng has many people under his command, so he will be fine. But Yeyang only has two or three people with him. What if he gets hurt when he goes out?"
Hearing this, Jiang Wanying lowered her head and stopped talking.
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua and saw that she looked calm and not frightened. He ignored the women behind him and continued to listen to the movement outside.
After waiting for a while, Mrs. Jiang saw that there was indeed no movement outside, so she slowly walked out of the attic. Some female relatives who wanted to leave here quickly also followed her out.
Daohua supported Madam Li, and just as she stepped out of the door with her left foot, she heard a scream of "Ah".
Immediately afterwards, a security guard flew backwards into the yard like a sandbag, spitting blood and falling heavily to the ground. He twitched a few times and then became motionless.
After the first one, there was a second one, and they stopped only after five or six security guards were beaten in.
Then, everyone saw two figures suddenly jump onto the roof, and then performed an exciting scene of flying over the eaves and walls, chasing each other.
Daohua looked at the two people who disappeared in the blink of an eye, then looked at the guard lying on the ground, and was shocked by the superb martial arts skills of the internal martial arts master.
You know, anyone who can work as a guard in the Jiang family must have good martial arts skills, but when he meets a master of internal martial arts, he is powerless to resist.
Suddenly Daohua felt a sense of fear. Xiao Yeyang and his third and fourth brothers had encountered internal martial arts masters before and were able to escape unscathed. It was really God’s blessing.
We must find the Jingsui Grass!
Xiao Yeyang and his two brothers must practice internal martial arts!
After a while, the internal martial arts master who had been chasing someone came back.
The man jumped from the roof and landed steadily on the ground without making any sound.
Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Wanying hurried over, and Jiang Wanying called out, "Uncle Guan!"
Mrs. Jiang asked hurriedly, "Has the person been caught?"
Guan Yi shook his head: "That man is very good at Qinggong. I was worried about my family, so I didn't chase him closely."
Jiang Wanying couldn't help but say, "It would be great if our family had a few more masters like Uncle Guan."
Guan Yi glanced at her and thought, is internal martial arts so easy to practice? It took him nearly forty years to develop his martial arts skills to the level they are now.
Mrs. Jiang looked at Guan Yi and said, "You are right. We can arrest people at any time, but you can't leave the master for too long. Go and see him."
Daohua listened to the entire conversation between Mrs. Jiang and the others. Seeing Guan Yi hurriedly turning back and having to give up chasing the enemy, he further realized the shortage of internal martial arts masters.
Even for a noble family like the Chiang family, Chiang Kai-shek only had one master of internal martial arts by his side, which shows that there are really very few masters of internal martial arts.
Xiao Yeyang was also looking after Guan Yi, but he was thinking about the Jiang family's profound background, which allowed them to recruit such a master. You know, he didn't have a master of internal martial arts around him.
It was completely quiet outside. Councillor Jiang came over with a grim look on his face and asked Mrs. Jiang to see the guests off. When he saw Xiao Yeyang standing beside him, he felt angry.
The situation was so critical just now, but this guy didn't even come out to help him. He is indeed worthy of being the son of Prince Ping. He is useless when something happens.
Xiao Yeyang simply ignored Jiang Canzheng's gaze, watched Daohua get on the carriage, and waited for the carriage to start with the convoy before he jumped on the horse and left quickly.
Originally, Mrs. Guo wanted to ask Xiao Yeyang to see them off, but before she could open her mouth, he had already left on horseback.
Thinking of the assassinations today and on the Dragon Boat Festival, Guo Xueming asked with some concern: "Mother, is there any expert protecting Father?"
Madam Guo shook her head. "It's not easy to find a master of the inner martial arts. However, you don't have to worry too much. Your father is also quite skilled in martial arts, so he will definitely be able to protect himself."
Guo Xueming frowned: "Why is Zhongzhou so unstable?" It has been less than two months and he has encountered two assassination attempts.
Mrs. Guo sighed, "That's right. That's why I say it's better to stay in the capital."
