I'm a bully in troubled times

"My lord, what should we do?" Gongsun Ke turned around and asked.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of swords and swords coming from the room, it was obvious that someone was fighting.

Jiang Yu walked two feet away from the door, stood still, and suddenly lifted his foot, only to hear a "bang", and the door was kicked open.

"The people inside may not be alive." Jiang Yu said, "Go in and have a look."

This loud noise immediately alarmed the people fighting in the room.

The man wearing the curtain fence and a group of masked men are fighting in full swing.Jiang Zhi hid behind the curtain tremblingly, his legs were so weak that he couldn't stand, in front of him, there were two corpses lying on the ground, both of them seemed to have died to protect Jiang Zhi.

Seeing Jiang Yu and the others come in, Jiang Zhi was even more terrified. He yelled, turned around and ran with his head in his arms: "Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

"Prince!" Cui Man roared, "I come to save you!"

After Cui Man shouted, he lifted his clothes and ran towards Jiang Zhi.

Cui Man is obviously one of the few people Jiang Zhi trusts. When he saw Cui Man, he immediately turned from sadness to joy, and said pleasantly: "Cui Man!"

Jiang Yu put the butterfly into the box, folded his hands and watched quietly, wondering why Wen Ji's person hadn't arrived yet.

However, at this moment, Jiang Yu saw a person in the team behind Cui Man quietly raised his hand and let out a cold arrow from his sleeve.The arrow was extremely fast, but in an instant, it hit Jiang Zhi's heart, and with a "poof", it pierced him right through.While the attention of the others was on Jiang Zhi, they didn't notice at all.

Jiang Zhigang stood up with the help of the pillar, looked at Cui Man with joy on his face, thought that his escape career was about to end, and was shot through the heart by a cold arrow.His eyes were wide open, his pupils were dilated, and his face was full of astonishment and disbelief.A large amount of blood gushed out of his chest quickly, soaking through his clothes, his chest and back were all blood red.

"Prince!!!" Cui Man yelled sadly.

Jiang Zhi lowered his head stiffly, looked at his chest, his legs softened, and he knelt down on the ground with a "bang", with several huh huh sounds full of pain and despair in his throat.He stretched out his hand to Cui Man, that hand was bony and blood-stained, it looked like a ghost's claw.

"Cui..." Jiang Zhi opened his mouth, and a lot of blood flowed out of his mouth.Tears also flowed down quickly. He had killed many people, but he never knew that being pierced through the heart was such a painful thing.

But he didn't want to die yet.

"Oh!"

Jiang Zhi fell to the ground, still staring at Cui Man, staring wide-eyed, full of unwillingness.

Think of him as the dignified prince of the Qi Kingdom, who died in the countryside so silently and for no apparent reason.

Jiang Zhi's sudden death was unexpected by everyone present, especially Cui Man and Mu Li.

Gongsun Ke knew Jiang Yu's plan a long time ago, before everyone could react, he drew his sword and flew towards a masked man, sealed his throat with his sword, and took his life.

"Bold thief, dare to kill the prince!"

Except for the people brought by Cui Man himself, there were only the masked man, Jiang Yu, and the man from Muli. Excluding Cui Man himself, Jiang Yu, Gongsun Ke and the man from Muli were the only ones left. A group of masked people had this motive to kill Jiang Zhi.

Therefore, Cui Man, who was blinded by hatred, immediately believed it. He didn't bother to check the tools used to commit the crime, picked up a sword from the ground, and rushed into the battle circle.

"Go and help Master Cui." Jiang Yu said, his eyes swept over a tall and thin man hiding behind Cui Man's group.

It turned out that Wen Ji sent someone to hide in Qihou's team, she didn't just fight alone, this woman is very shrewd.

"Yes."

Under the attack of Jiang Yu and others, the group of masked men quickly became overwhelmed and retreated frequently.

"Don't let one go! Catch them all!" Cui Man said hoarsely.

It was difficult to capture all the people alive. After some fighting, the two masked men were still released, a few died and some were captured alive.

Cui Man didn't often fight on the battlefield himself, this time he drew his sword, he was driven by hatred.With the prince's body lying beside him, he really couldn't be rational.

After the battle, Gongsun Ke helped them tie up the masked man who was wounded and captured alive, and leaned aside to rest.

Cui Man's hands were covered in blood, whether it was his own or someone else's, blood was stained on the blade of the sword and on the clean robe, his hair was disheveled, and he looked extremely distressed.On the ground, the corpses of Jiang Zhi's cronies, the masked man, and Qihou's men were piled up together, and it was impossible to tell who belonged to whom.

The Muli man was also injured, he was stabbed in the shoulder, the bone was deep enough, the blood flowed down from his shoulder and wet the Muli.

Watching this scene made Jiang Yu a little uncomfortable. He could only see it on TV before, but now he is actually in this kind of environment.Since he came to this world, he has seen this scene countless times, especially after the war, but no matter how many times he saw it, he couldn't get used to it.

Jiang Yu was a little disgusted, and raised his hand to cover his mouth, but found that his hand was also stained with blood. He frowned and roughly wiped it on his clothes, but the smell of blood still lingered in his nose.

This hateful troubled world.

The wound on his left arm split open again, and the stabbing pain in his heart, Jiang Yu's physical strength was exhausted, he supported his body with his sword, walked to the side of Jiang Zhi who was already dead, and squatted down.

He picked up Jiang Zhi, wiped the blood on Jiang Zhi's face with his sleeve, and said "I'm sorry" in his heart.

Jiang Yu didn't want to kill Jiang Zhi, but Jiang Zhi's death seemed inevitable in today's world of ceremonies and music.Even though this world is not the same as the spring and autumn he is familiar with, some aspects are the same.

For example, the decline of the royal family and the rise of vassal states.

Compared with his two younger brothers, Jiang Zhi is too mediocre, even with a loyal minister like Cui Man protecting him, he will not live long.

Moreover, he is now a native of Yan.

Marquis Yan is limited by etiquette, destiny, and royal orders, and is willing to help Marquis Qi find the prince and support the orthodox prince to ascend the throne. Jiang Yu doesn't have those concepts.

"However, the person who killed you is also dead, so it's fair to exchange one life for another," Jiang Yu thought.

In the melee just now, the person who secretly shot Jiang Zhi with a cold arrow also died in the hands of the Jin people.

"Lord Cui, my condolences." Jiang Yu said to Cui Man who was sitting paralyzed beside him.

Cui Man was really hit hard, and his true feelings were revealed, not a fake.

Hearing Jiang Yu's words, Cui Man lowered his head, raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat on his forehead, brushed away the hair on his temples, moved his body with difficulty to come in front of Jiang Zhi, and knelt down.

He raised his hands and put them on his forehead, then bent down, his forehead hit the ground heavily, and there was a muffled crackling sound, which hurt even when he heard it, but Cui Man didn't change his face.He lay on the ground for a long time, motionless. After a long time, he slowly straightened up, raised his hands high, and bowed down again.His forehead was cut, and the blood flowed down the wound, like a crimson centipede winding.

This is the highest etiquette in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Your Highness, I am late." After bowing down for the third time, Cui Man said in a deep voice, "It is because I am incompetent that I couldn't save you."

"Chen, I have revenge for you."

Jiang Yu's face remained motionless, as if the matter in front of him had nothing to do with him, and said in a low voice: "It is Jiang who failed to fulfill the king's order and failed to help Master Cui."

"No," Cui Man said, "Cui is aware of what Lord Suiyang has done for the prince."

The man wearing the curtain seldom encountered such a situation. The person he wanted to protect was killed in front of him.He is confident that Jiang Zhi was definitely not killed by Jin people, but he is not sure who killed him.

Is it Jiang Yu?

Would Jiang Yu do such a thing?Or did Cui Man's subordinates infiltrate someone else?

The man behind the curtain had been watching Jiang Yu's every move and every expression, and Jiang Yu had no flaws.In Jiang Yu's eyes, this kind of scrutinizing expression seemed a little provocative.

Jiang Yu raised his eyes and looked at him lightly, while Gongsun Ke had already held the sword vigilantly, as long as Jiang Yu gave an order, he would immediately fight for him.

Since he was already injured, and the other party had a large number of people, and his mission had already failed, it seemed that it was not a wise choice to stay and clash with Lord Suiyang.The Muli man glanced at Jiang Zhi who was on the ground, snorted coldly, put his sword behind his back, and was about to leave by stepping on the window.

"Wait!" Cui Man said suddenly.

The man behind the curtain stopped.

Cui Man closed his eyes and said, "Thank King Zhou for me."

The Muli man finally said a word: "I am following the order of the crown prince, not the king of Zhou."

Cui Man didn't seem to understand what he meant, but a gust of wind blew, and the man behind the curtain had already jumped out of the window and left.

After saluting, Cui Man moved his legs, bent down, picked Jiang Zhi up and carried him on his back, and stood up.

"Jun Suiyang, let's go back."

The crown prince passed away, so of course Jiang Yu should go to accompany Cui Man now, so he gave Gongsun Ke some instructions to lead someone to clean up the mess, and went back with Cui Man himself.

Back at the post house, after Jiang Yu changed and washed his clothes, he bandaged the wound again. Thinking of Mingran, he went to the guest room to take a look.Unexpectedly, as soon as the door was pushed open, Mingran moved Zhang Taishi's chair from nowhere, and was lying on his back with his eyes closed.

Didn't leave?

The guys wearing the curtain fence had all left, but he didn't.

Just as Jiang Yu was about to close the door, he heard Mingran speak.

"Jiang Zhi died?"

Jiang Yu paused.

Mingran opened his eyes and pointed to his nose: "The smell of blood wafts over from a long distance away."

Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes, no wonder he smelled a bloody smell in the room, and thought it was the man behind the curtain who was hiding his head and showing his tail, but did he float in from the yard?

Ming Ran's eyes lingered on Jiang Yu for a moment: "Are you injured?"

"No, it's just that the wound is open again, thanks to the sword you gave me." Jiang Yu said.

Mingran pointed to his arm: "I allow you to cut it back, and you can charge a little interest."

Jiang Yu ignored his nonsensical words and said, "Your companion is gone, won't you go with him?"

Mingran said: "I have no companion."

"Fine, as you like," Jiang Yu said, "Your poison should be gone, right?"

Mingran shook his head: "What's more, I don't even have the strength to stand up."

Jiang Yu frowned.

Mingran said: "I am weak, and what ordinary people can detoxify in one day, it takes me several days."

Jiang Yu: "..." Weak, I believe you have ghosts.
