Quick Wear: Bai Yueguang perfectly interprets the success of saving the world
Chapter 17 Princess (16)
The next day came in a blink of an eye.
There was no more hazy drizzle in the sky, and the sun could be vaguely seen hidden by the clouds.
Jiang Huaixu has been feeling uneasy ever since he left the Princess's Mansion. After returning to the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion, he couldn't help but think back to his conversation with Yan Qing over and over again in his mind these past two days.
It had been a long time since he and Aqing had sat together peacefully, and although they each had their own plans this time, the initial conversation was still pleasant.
But when it comes to things related to Pei Zhuo, both Ah Qing and he tend to lose their minds.
That's why they ended up parting on bad terms. He originally wanted to go back to the way they were before with Aqing, but he didn't want this to happen.
Jiang Huaixu looked depressed, he was really jealous of Pei Zhuo. Why could this man make A Qing give up everything? Even the jade pendant he gave to A Qing was taken out by A Qing to force him, just to protect Pei's kingdom.
Thinking of the jade pendant, Jiang Huaixu's eyes dimmed a little. He took out another jade pendant from his arms, which was shining in the sunlight.
The material and carving technique of this jade pendant are exactly the same as the one he gave to Yan Qing.
It’s just that the patterns on them are different, and when put together they form a Qilin, which cannot be seen by looking at them alone.
These two jade pendants are heirlooms passed down in their family. They originally came as a pair. When his father and mother passed the jade pendants to him, they told him to give the other half to the person he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.
Moreover, the jade pendant has a unknown secret. Half of the jade pendant can command half of the Zhenbei Army. Seeing this thing is like seeing the King of Zhenbei.
As for the tiger talisman, it only appears to be able to command the Zhenbei Army and reassure the court, but in fact it has long been of no use.
The Zhenbei Army followed King Zhenbei in the front line and recognized themselves as one of their lineage. They no longer recognized the tiger talisman.
In this regard, Pei Zhuo and the young emperor's fear of him was not without reason.
However, Aqing didn't know all this. He didn't explain too much when he gave the jade pendant to Aqing. In the final analysis, he was afraid that Aqing would not accept it after knowing it.
He never dared to express his feelings openly.
Don't dare...
It turns out that he also has things he is afraid of.
Jiang Huaixu couldn't help but laugh at himself. Even when he was in a life-threatening situation, he had never been timid at all. The only person in the world who could make him afraid and hesitate was probably A Qing.
Jiang Huaixu put away the jade pendant, perhaps because of the jade pendant that Yan Qing took out, or perhaps because today was just a good day. For some reason, Jiang Huaixu rode his horse out of the city.
The horse galloped all the way and finally stopped outside the capital. In front of it was a grassland and on the side was a small forest covered with frost flowers.
Ah Qing had seen him off here before. At that time, Pei Zhuo was still just the crown prince, and his father was the King of Zhenbei, who had just led a surprise attack to defeat a frontier tribe.
However, he was betrayed by people around him on the way back to the camp. Although he fought his way out, he still collapsed beside the military camp due to his serious injuries and was buried in the northern desert.
When his mother heard the news, she was devastated. After a few days of confusion, she also passed away following his father in a white silk scarf. He was the only one left in the lineage of the Zhenbei King.
However, the ethnic groups on the border that had been defeated were ready to move again, and the capable generals in the court were also guarding various places, so it was really impossible to spare any manpower for the time being.
While still in mourning, he volunteered to go to Mobei. Amid doubts, he relied on his own strength to secure the title of King of Zhenbei, and also took over his father's position of guarding Mobei.
Thinking of his father's death, Jiang Huaixu's expression was cold. It was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface. Now he had found out some clues.
If the information he found out is true, then even the death of Aqing's father and brother in battle was a conspiracy. By then, would Aqing still miss Pei Zhuo and would he still stand on the side of the royal family?
Just as Jiang Huaixu was reminiscing about the past, something strange happened suddenly. A sharp arrow shot out from the grove with a loud sound of breaking through the air, and went straight to Jiang Huaixu's vital point.
Jiang Huaixu dodged sideways, and the frost flower he picked was grazed by the tip of the arrow, withered instantly and fell to the ground.
Jiang Huaixu's eyes changed slightly. The arrow was poisoned.
The arrow was like a signal. Before he had time to react, a wave of arrows shot out from the grove.
Jiang Huaixu drew out the long sword from his waist, and his aura suddenly became fierce. He lowered his brows, swung out with the sword, and the rain of arrows was instantly broken.
At the same time, two guards in tight clothes appeared beside Jiang Huaixu, and together with him they responded to the new wave of rain of arrows.
It is impossible for Jiang Huaixu to leave the city without anyone, and he is not so arrogant. These two guards followed him back from the border.
The three of them cooperated well and were about to get out of the range of the rain of arrows, but at this moment, several masked men in black jumped out from the grove and attacked them together.
The three of them were instantly at a disadvantage and were forced to retreat back into the range of the rain of arrows. Jiang Huaixu was not afraid, as he had seen all kinds of situations on the frontier. This level of assassination was nothing to him.
However, at this moment, another wave of arrows shot out from the grove, and it seemed that they completely ignored the men in black who were fighting with him. The several men in black who were fighting with them also took a step back and resisted the rain of arrows.
It wasn't just a wave of people, but they all came for me.
Jiang Huaixu made this judgment almost instantly. His eyes darkened and he distanced himself from them. The two guards, Hanlu and Jingzhe, also quickly gathered around Jiang Huaixu.
Jingzhe cut off the arrows while saying to Jiang Huaixu: "Master, there are too many people in ambush. I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape."
Jiang Huaixu used a sword to cut off several rain arrows and glanced around with a serious look. The grassland they were in was vast, without any shelter, and the rain of arrows was getting more and more intense. They might not be able to block the next wave.
The black-clad men who jumped out were also dealing with the rain of arrows. Jiang Huaixu made a prompt decision and said, "Separate and go to the grove."
Although there were archers who had never shown themselves in the grove, the trees there were dense, making it a good place to hide, and they would not be used as targets like they were now.
Hearing this, Jingzhe and Hanlu had no objection and went towards the grove together, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
When Jiang Huaixu passed by the falling frost flowers, the internal energy in his body suddenly stagnated, and the hidden injuries also began to hurt.
His hand holding the sword paused. There was no time to think too much in this situation. Jiang Huaixu shook off the secret guards who followed him and went deeper.
The strange feeling in his body became more and more severe on the road, and he could vaguely hear the sound of footsteps. Jiang Huaixu was startled and his palm directly grasped the blade, which made his mind clearer.
My current situation is definitely not right. I don’t know when I fell into the trap. If I continue like this, I will be found sooner or later.
There was a cliff ahead, surrounded by vines. Jiang Huaixu's eyes turned cold, and he had no choice but to take a gamble.
He jumped directly off the cliff, holding on to the vines with one hand all the way down, changing several vines during the process, until he was three meters above the bottom of the cliff and there were no more vines to hold him down.
The internal force in his body was completely unable to function. Jiang Huaixu looked sinister, and he let go and jumped down.
All his internal organs were hurt by the impact. Jiang Huaixu felt dizziness in front of his eyes after taking only a few steps. He couldn't hold on any longer. Was he going to die here today?
When he was conscious, he saw a woman in strange clothes approaching him. He didn't know when this person appeared and she managed to escape his perception.
Jiang Huaixu relied on his strong consciousness to act quickly, and his bloody hand rested on the vital point of her neck, which could be strangled with a little force.
The woman also sensed the danger, and her voice was cold yet surprisingly calm: "Don't kill me, I can heal your injuries."
Ah Qing?
Jiang Huaixu's fingertips relaxed, and his consciousness, which had been forced to hold on, completely fell into darkness...
