Jiang Ye grunted in pain. He had figured out some of the situation from everyone's questions. He said loudly, "Elder Lu, this is a matter of our Duan Yang Country. As an elder of Tian Cong Institution, you have no reason to interfere. Could it be that you want to start a conflict between the two countries?"
"Slap!"
Yang Qingxuan slapped Jiang Ye's face and shouted, "I'm the one asking you now. Where are your eyes looking?"
Jiang Ye was stunned, and so were the others. They did not expect Yang Qingxuan to be so decisive and hit someone without saying anything.
Jiang Ye, in particular, was furious. He would rather be killed than humiliated, let alone slapping someone.
He looked at Lu Jiangpeng and saw that Lu Jiangpeng turned a deaf ear to him. He could only swallow his anger because he felt that there was still room for negotiation. He looked up at Yang Qingxuan and said, "Little brother, you shouldn't have gotten involved in this. As long as you let me go, I won't pursue what happened just now, and I'll give you a generous gift."
"Slap!"
Yang Qingxuan slapped Jiang Ye again and said angrily, "You're bullying a widow and an orphan, yet you still have no sense of shame. I'm not as thick-skinned as you. Who sent you?"
Jiang Ye was stunned by the two slaps.
Yang Qingxuan saw that he was in a daze, so he took off his shoes and said, "Looks like I'll have to slap you with the sole of my shoe to make you behave."
Jiang Ye's eyes almost popped out, and his face turned pale. He hurriedly said, "Don't hit me, don't hit me. I'll talk, I'll talk!"
If he was slapped in the face with the sole of his shoe, he would be too ashamed to see anyone again even if he survived. He said, "Young Master Haitang sent me."
Li Long was shocked. "Isn't the Blackguard the Emperor's power? How dare you betray His Majesty! "
Jiang Ye sneered. "I'm following His Majesty's orders. The entire Blackguard belongs to Young Master Haitang."
"What?!"
The people from King Lu's Residence were shocked, and the Ku Rong Elders' faces turned ugly.
Wei Zi Jin sobbed even louder.
Jingjing bit her lower lip. Her face was extremely ugly. She said, "Grandpa gave the Blackguard to Shangguan Haitang. He wants us to die."
Jiang Ye 'Jie Jie' laughed strangely and looked at them mockingly, saying, "Everyone knows His Majesty's intentions. I'm afraid that Prince Yan's ascension to the throne is only a transition. Soon, the one who will truly control Duan Yang Country will be Mister Haitang. "
Yang Qingxuan looked at the crowd and said, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Yang Qingxuan said, "Then this Jiang Ye has no value. Beat him to death."
Jiang Ye's expression changed greatly as he said in shock and anger, "You, a member of Cangnan Country, dare to recklessly meddle in the affairs of my Duanyang Country!"
"Pa!"
Yang Qingxuan took off his shoe and ruthlessly slapped his face. "Beat him to death!" he shouted.
Immediately, several sorrowful and indignant martial artists came forward and chopped down with their swords, turning Jiang Ye into a pile of minced meat.
The Ku Rong Elders and the others had a strange look in their eyes as they thought to themselves, "This person is definitely not ordinary."
Li Long said, "Madam, now that Shangguan Haitang is in charge of the Blackguard, and the Emperor is obviously biased towards him, I'm afraid that Duanyang Country will no longer have a place to stay."
Wei Zi Jin stopped sobbing and said, "Now, we can only hide in Cangnan Country for a while and slowly think of a way to rescue my husband. My husband was on good terms with Prince Jin Su Ze of Cangnan Country. If we go to Su Ze now, I hope that he will take us in on account of our past friendship. "
Yang Qingxuan was stunned, "Prince Jin …"
Wei Zi Jin said, "Why, little brother, do you know Prince Jin?"
Yang Qingxuan did not know how to answer and could only say, "I've seen him a few times, but I don't know him well. I feel that he should be a good person."
Wei Zi Jin looked at Lu Jiangpeng with pity, hoping that he would pity her. As long as Lu Jiangpeng was willing to help, although he could not turn the situation around, at least he could protect her and Prince Lu's safety.
However, Lu Jiangpeng did not say a word and did not intend to help at all.
Wei Zi Jin could only let out a long sigh.
Immediately, everyone began to clean up the mess. They cremated the dead warriors together with the hundreds of prisoners.
The bodies of the Black-Robed Guards and Jiang Ye were left in the wilderness to be eaten by insects and birds.
Three days later, the convoy was back on the road.
This time, Lu Jiangpeng and Yang Qingxuan were given a luxurious carriage. The two could not refuse and had to get into the carriage. The inside of the carriage was covered with fur mats and all kinds of exquisite furniture.
After more than half a month, they left the grassland and entered the territory of Cangnan Country.
Lee Long and the others breathed a sigh of relief. The convoy continued to move forward and soon, they saw Yanmen City and entered the first line of defense of Cangnan Country.
Lu Jiangpeng looked through the window and saw the three words "Yanmen City". He smiled and said, "We're finally back. Once we enter the city, we will part ways with the convoy. We will ask the city lord for transportation and go back to the academy first. "
Yang Qingxuan nodded. He knew what Lu Jiangpeng meant. He did not want to be involved in Prince Lu's affairs.
Suddenly, a large number of soldiers ran out of the city and surrounded the convoy.
All the citizens who entered and exited the city were frightened and ran far away.
The general of Yanmen City, Gao Jie, carried a long spear and led a dozen generals out. He said coldly, "Who are you?"
Lee Long hurried forward and cupped his fists, "People of Duanyang Country. My wife has met your country's Prince Jin several times. We are here to visit."
Gao Jie's face changed, "You know Prince Jin? What proof do you have? "
Lee Long immediately handed over a jade tablet, "This was given to my wife by Prince Jin."
Gao Jie flipped the jade tablet in his hand and said coldly, "I don't know if you are telling the truth. First, hand over your weapons and submit to our control. I will release you after I investigate."
"What?"
Lee Long was shocked, "You want to detain us?"
Gao Jie said coldly, "Of course. You want me to believe that you are not bad people with just a token? Aren't you too naive? If there is a problem with the city's defense, I will lose my head. "
The surrounding soldiers surrounded them and shouted, "Put down your weapons and submit to our control!"
Lee Long and the others looked troubled. Gao Jie's people were reasonable. He turned around and discussed with Wei Zi Jin in a low voice in front of the carriage, then said, "Everyone, put down your weapons and submit to the control of Cangnan Country's general."
The warriors in the convoy immediately threw their weapons on the ground.
Gao Jie ordered people to bring iron shackles to bind everyone's hands and feet. Lee Long and the others' faces changed, but they did not resist.
The iron shackles were made of fine steel and were extremely heavy. They were specially designed for warriors.
Gao Jie's lips curled into a cold smile, "Everyone in the carriage, come out and put on the iron shackles to enter the city."
Lee Long was shocked, "My wife and young lady are in the carriage."
Gao Jie said coldly, "I don't care who she is. As long as she comes to Yanmen City, she will submit to my control. In this territory, my words are the most important!"
Immediately, a soldier went forward to lift the curtain of the carriage.
At that moment, there were only three carriages with people in them: Yang Qingxuan, Lu Jiangpeng, the Ku Rong Elders, and Wei Zi Jin and her daughter.
Suddenly, a loud shout came from the city. A figure dashed over and shouted, "Stop! I have a letter from Prince Jin! "
Yang Qingxuan was stunned. He stared blankly at the figure dashing over and said, "It's her …"
