Jiangshan Yingqiluo

A carriage drove out from the General's Mansion and sped towards Youzhou City.

With a black cloth wrapped around his face, Shen Zhen sat on the shaft and drove with a whip.After the carriage left Jinzhou City, the scenery changed from prosperity to depression, and then there were endless mountains.

Jiang Qing sat in the carriage, closed his eyes and fell asleep.The plum blossom in his bosom fell to the ground, and a fat doll emerged from it, climbed up to his knees with hands and feet, turned into a ray of red light and penetrated into the jade pendant around his waist.

It was Haishi when the carriage entered Youzhou City, and the city was dark and dark, only the sound of "dede" horseshoes and "wheels", which were very clear in the silent night.

Shen Zhen drove the carriage to the Jiang Mansion in the west of the city.At this time, the lights in Jiang's mansion were brightly lit, and Si Yan in the mansion was guarding the door, looking around.

Not long after, the carriage arrived in front of the mansion.The sharp-eyed Si Yan saw the eagle carved on the eaves of the carriage door, and hurried over, opened the door curtain, and helped Jiang Qing get out of the carriage.

"Father has fallen asleep?"

"Go back to the young master, the master has not yet fallen asleep. He has been waiting for you in the study."

Jiang Qing nodded, and entered the mansion together with Shen Shen, Si Yan closed the door and drove the carriage into the backyard.

"Young master, you are back." Zhang Qing, the housekeeper standing in the flower hall, stepped forward quickly, his cloudy eyes filled with joy.

Jiang Qing walked into the flower hall, greeted him, and the servants who were waiting by him took off the cloak for him, and handed him the teacup.

"I don't need you here, go back to sleep." He took the teacup, took a sip, and said after moistening his throat.

Everyone responded repeatedly.Shen Zhen took the belongings of the two of them and went back to the yard first.

Only then did Jiang Qing go to the study, and when he reached the door, he raised his hand and knocked on the door, "Father."

"Come in." The old general's angry voice came from behind the door.

Jiang Qing pushed the door open and walked in.

The old general in the room is sitting on the couch and playing chess alone, he has black pieces in his left hand and white pieces in his right hand, Jiang Qing saw that the chessboard has been mostly laid out.

"came back."

"Yes, I'm back."

"Then come and play a few games with me."

Jiang Qing raised his eyebrows, walked over as he said, and sat cross-legged on the couch.Smoke rises from the incense burner beside the chessboard, and the room is quiet.

In the first game, the two were tied.

In the second game, the old general conceded defeat by three sons.

In the third game, the old general abandoned his son halfway.

Although he lost two out of three rounds, the old general was very happy. He patted Jiang Qing on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Very good, I'm relieved."

Jiang Qing remained silent, just threw all the chess pieces on the chessboard into the chess niche, and put them aside together with the chess equipment.

"I heard that you have taken in a new person?" The old general asked casually as he took a sip from his teacup.

Jiang Qing nodded, knowing it in his heart, "It's a half-grown child who saved my life."

"Oh?" The old general raised his eyebrows, with a half-smile, "If that's the case, then you should, as long as you know it well."

Jiang Qing pursed his lips, his eyes drooped slightly, and followed his words in a low voice, "Don't worry about it, baby."His attitude was respectful, and no emotion could be seen on his face, as if he had really remembered the words in his heart.

The old general stared at him for a while, then sighed, and said: "It's late at night, you go back, my old bone is going to sleep too."

Hearing this, Jiang Qing stood up, bowed in response to "yes", and backed out.

This scene is done very naturally, and anyone who watches the scene of father's kindness and son's filial piety will envy and praise it.

However, what outsiders don't know is that they can't really trust each other. They have their own plans in their hearts, but it's just tacit understanding of each other.

In the early morning of the second day, General Jiang brought Jiang Qing into the palace.

Jiang Qing was wearing a green official uniform, with a cold and alienated look on his face, followed behind the old general, and entered the hall without squinting.

The emperor went to court as usual, and there was no mention of the Queen Mother's death in the court.If he didn't say anything, no one in the court would ask questions.The forces of all parties are equal, and they only hope that the forces behind the emperor will collapse so that they can restrain him.

Jiang Qing stood at the back of the hall and looked forward, but did not see King De.It seems that the rumors are true, King De was indeed sick at home, and even the Empress Dowager died and did not enter the court.

After the morning court ended, the little eunuch next to the emperor came over to send a message, asking Jiang Qing to go to the Minister's study to discuss matters.

Jiang Qing narrowed his eyes, received the oracle, and followed the little eunuch.

Things happened faster than he imagined. Once this living target is set up by the emperor, I am afraid that the next life will be difficult.

After a few more days like this, the imperial court finally issued an obituary before the Lantern Festival, announcing the Queen Mother's death to the world.

The Ministry of Etiquette has already made preparations. All officials entered the palace to express their condolences. The folks banned marriage and joy for one year, and every household hung up white silk to express their condolences.

After expressing condolences, Jiang Qing said goodbye to the emperor and the old general on the pretext that there were too many official duties in the camp, and returned to Jinzhou with Shen Zhen.

The carriage left Youzhou without incident, but the two of them did not dare to relax at all, fearing that something might happen on the way.

The lonely carriage was speeding along the official road, and there were no pedestrians along the way. When it reached the junction of Youzhou and Jinzhou, Shen Zhen found that the middle of the road was full of rocks, and the carriage could not pass.

"General, it's getting dark today. If you delay, I'm afraid you won't be able to reach Jinzhou tonight. It's better to leave the official road and take the trail."

Shen even suggested to Jiang Qing.

Jiang Qing nodded.

The rocks piled up in the middle of the road were so big and numerous that it was impossible for the two of them to move them away; if they wanted to abandon the carriage and return on their feet, no matter how good their martial arts were, they would not be able to reach Jinzhou tonight.It is the best way to abandon the official road and take the trail.

Now that Jiang Qing had agreed, Shen Zhen swung his whip and drove the carriage to another road.

The trail is not as smooth as the official road, and it is very bumpy against the side of the mountain.There is no sound in the mountains and forests, only the sound of the carriage driving fast.

Shen Zhen frowned, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.

"General, it seems to be quieter here."

Jiang Qing raised a corner of the curtain, looked out, and said, "Just be careful."

It didn't take long for the two of them to talk, when they heard rustling voices coming from above.

"No, it's a falling rock."

Shen Chen pulled open the curtain with the sword in one hand, so that Jiang Qing could come out from inside.The two of them quickly left the carriage with their footsteps lightly, and there was a crash, and several large stones rolled down from above, crushing the carriage to pieces.

At the same time, a dozen men in black suddenly appeared in the silent woods.They covered their faces with cloth towels, held swords in their hands, and started fighting with Jiang Qing.

Fortunately, these people's martial arts are not exhaustive, and the two of them fought against each other, but they gradually gained the upper hand.Unexpectedly, at this moment, Jiang Qing's head suddenly flew across the sky. A man with a strong figure avoided the attack and stabbed Jiang Qing's chest with a sword.

"General be careful!"

Shen Zhen's eyes were about to burst, and he yelled, but he was so entangled and struggling, he couldn't get away to help Jiang Qing.

Seeing that the sword was about to pierce his chest, the jade pendant on Jiang Qing's waist emitted a red light, and all the men in black around him bounced back.

All this happened too suddenly, before the men in black could react, Shen Zhen took the opportunity to attack quickly and killed them all.

Only Jiang Qing could see clearly that Chunyu was clearly standing in the red light shielding him from the sword.

"General, are you alright?" Shen Shen retreated to Jiang Qing's side, and looked at him several times, for fear that he would be injured.

Jiang Qing shook his head and said, "It's okay."

Shen Shen breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you're fine. I don't know what happened to this group of people, but they were all ejected suddenly. It couldn't be that there are some spirits in the mountains helping us."

Jiang Qing glanced at him and said, "You think too much."

Shen Zhen scratched the back of his head, a little embarrassed, "Indeed."

Ghost?Jiang Qing looked down at the plum blossom petals under his feet, thoughtful.

"Let's go, if you don't go, it will be dark. It's not far from Jinzhou, we should be able to arrive tonight."

Shen Shi nodded, and the two performed lightness kung fu and flew towards Jinzhou.
