When Jin Linlin and Jiang Zhixu returned to the inner room, the man wearing the wolf-head mask had already woken up. Jiang Zhixu was about to take off his mask when Jin Linlin suddenly reached out to stop him:
"Wait a minute, you come here. I'll leave first. It's not good to know too much. Your life is more important." After saying that, he turned around and left without caring about Jiang Zhixu's surprised look.
Jiang Zhixu stared blankly at his wife's back, feeling both angry and amused. This young lady was really afraid of death.
Jiang Zhixu was about to take off the wolf-head mask when the masked man suddenly spoke:
"Brother Xu, please find a doctor for me quickly. Ouch, it hurts so much." She looked so aggrieved and cried.
When Jiang Zhixu heard the voice, he immediately guessed who this person was. He rushed over, grabbed his collar, swept off his mask, and shouted angrily:
"Why are you here? Alone? How come I didn't kill you?"
"Ouch, be gentle, I'm hurt, can you be a little gentler?" The man slapped away Jiang Zhixu's hand that was grabbing his collar.
"What's wrong with you?"
"How should I know? This year was the emperor's birthday, and I set out with the main force. When we passed by Wuling City, I felt like having fun so I ran out by myself to spend the whole day. Who knows what happened? Wherever I went, there were people who wanted to kill me. I was always being chased." He himself felt very puzzled.
Jiang Zhixu frowned, his mind full of questions. "Who would go to such great lengths to hunt you down? Think carefully about whether you've offended anyone in Wuling City."
He put the man down, his expression serious. The man scratched his head and said with a bitter face, "I just went to the gambling house and won a little money. I didn't fight with anyone."
Jiang Zhixu thought for a moment and felt that this matter was not simple. "Your identity is special. Someone must have deliberately planned this. You should heal your wounds first. I will go and get some information."
As soon as he finished speaking, he called a doctor to treat the man.
Jiang Zhixu turned around and stared at the fox-masked man, who was still asleep.
He tiptoed over and was about to remove the mask when the man suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, and kicked Jiang Zhixu in the chest. Jiang Zhixu reacted so quickly that he dodged the attack easily by moving to the side.
After the fox-masked man landed, his eyes widened like bells as he stared at Jiang Zhixu warily. Jiang Zhixu frowned, looked him up and down, and suddenly laughed: "Hey, it's you! I chased you all day and all night the day before yesterday and couldn't catch you, and now you've come to me on your own."
This man is the prince of Dong Jinguo. Jiang Zhixu has met him many times on the battlefield in recent years. He is very familiar with his appearance.
The prince's heart skipped a beat. Is this the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion? Escape would be difficult. He secretly pulled out the Tongsheng Gu from his sleeve and was about to poison Jiang Zhixu, but Jiang Zhixu rushed forward and kicked the Tongsheng Gu away from his hand.
"You dare to play dirty tricks in my territory? You must be tired of living." Jiang Zhixu sneered and pressed on. When the prince saw that the Gu was gone, he secretly groaned and turned to rush out the door.
As soon as he ran to the door, he was stopped by Jia Yi. Jia Yi crossed his arms and looked at him with a half-smile: "Your Highness, you are a guest in my Zhenguo Mansion, how can you just leave like that?" The prince's face changed in an instant. He looked into the yard and saw that it was full of people. He was surrounded.
The prince was shocked and angry, but he didn't dare to move.
"Brother Xu, who is this? Huh? What the hell is this?" The Tongsheng Gu that the prince had just thrown out was now in his hand. Jiang Zhixu was anxious and rushed to him, trying to sweep it away. But it was too late. The Tongsheng Gu "whoosh" penetrated his body.
Jiang Zhixu was anxious and angry, his eyes wide as bells as he glared at the prince: "You are too cruel!" The prince snorted coldly: "Who told you to ruin my plan? This is a co-existing Gu. If one person dies, the other cannot survive. If you let me go, I will give you the antidote."
Jiang Zhixu was overwhelmed by the two big troubles in front of him.
"It's okay. It's the same anyway. If he dies, you die too. If you die, he won't survive either. You won't be able to die for a while."
After saying that, Jiang Zhixu knocked the man unconscious quickly and said, "Hey, I won't take on this troublesome matter. It will be most worry-free if I leave it to Your Majesty."
Jiang Zhixu waited until the moon was at its highest point in the sky, called a group of Jinyiwei, and sent the two men into the palace in a mysterious manner. At this time, they were still unconscious and sleeping soundly.
Imperial Palace Dragon Palace
In the middle of the night, Emperor Song looked at Jiang Zhixu with sleepy eyes and said unhappily:
"Jiang Zhixu, you'd better be in big trouble, otherwise I'm really going to chop off your head."
Eunuch Guo supported His Majesty and kept speaking well of Jiang Zhixu:
"Oh my! Your Majesty, please calm down. Lord Jiang must have something urgent to do. Please listen to him first and calm down."
The emperor rolled his eyes at him, as if to say, "Stop speaking up for him."
"Tell me, what's the matter that has to wake me up in the middle of the night? The morning court session is only three hours away. Can't it wait?"
Jiang Zhixu knelt in front of Emperor Song in an orderly manner with a righteous look on his face.
The emperor was so angry that he laughed. It turned out that he woke me up, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all.
Jiang Zhixu clasped his hands together and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, my brother-in-law came to my house today to take part in the Spring Examination."
"You just want to tell me this?" Emperor Song said unhappily.
"On the way to the capital, I rescued two people in the suburbs. I sent them to the palace overnight. Your Majesty, you should be interested."
