Chapter 364: Golden Woven Armour
However, even though Marquis Kang was leading a troop of soldiers, they were still just a bunch of scattered soldiers. They were kept in Jingzhou and used as bodyguards. They couldn't be compared to the hot-blooded soldiers who fought bravely.
This was also the reason why Qi Zhen Emperor had left them to their own devices all these years.
However, they were still a troop and were not so weak that they would wither away! Therefore, it was reasonable to use them to suppress bandits.
However, Marquis Kang had already withdrawn from the court and was at loggerheads with Qi Zhen Emperor. Why would he lend his troops to Jing Rong?
It had always been the son who avenged the father!
Therefore, Jing Rong was a thorn in Marquis Kang's side.
Jing Rong pressed on his aching chest and frowned.
He analyzed, "Although Marquis Kang is stubborn and has a stubborn temper, he is a man who loves treasures very much. Lang Po, bring this prince's message to him. If he is willing to lend us soldiers, this prince will grant him a set of golden woven armour."
Golden Woven Armour?
Lang Po was astonished.
There were only two sets of Golden Woven Armour in the world. One was buried with the late emperor in the imperial mausoleum, while the other was kept in the imperial sacrificial hall.
Although Marquis Kang was a member of the imperial family, he was still a cousin. Over the past few decades, his cousin had branched off several generations, so they were not really related at all.
However, Marquis Kang was a very greedy person. He was drooling over the Golden Woven Armor!
He thought about it day and night.
He even complained that he was a member of the imperial family, so why would the Golden Woven Armour not be given to him in the sacrificial hall?
Fortunately, he was greedy for the world's treasures and not the imperial power. Otherwise, Qi Zhen Emperor would have dealt with him long ago.
Lang Po confirmed again, "Your Highness, are you sure it's the Golden Woven Armour? It's in the imperial sacrificial hall and is guarded by people. Even His Majesty would not grant the Golden Woven Armour to Marquis Kang. "
A reminder!
"Just do as This King says. Go and return quickly."
Lang Po didn't say anything more. He accepted the order and left immediately.
Then, he instructed Shi Zijin, "Go to the gates of Gaoshan Village immediately and find an opportunity to go in. Even if you can't rescue them, I must know Yunshu's situation."
"Yes."
Shi Zijin didn't say much and left to do as she was told.
Jing Rong's body couldn't take it anymore. He clenched his fist and pressed it against his lips, coughing lightly.
He almost coughed out blood.
Mo Ruo said, "You've already said what you should. Hurry up and rest."
"I'm worried."
"But I can't throw my life away."
"Mo Ruo." Jing Rong suddenly called out.
Mo Ruo furrowed his brows. As if he knew what he wanted to say, he spoke first, "I know what you want to say. Don't worry, I know what to do."
"Thank you."
"Hurry up and rest. Don't waste my ointment. It's not something that can be bought with money."
How shameful!
Jing Rong lowered his gaze and did not reply.
After Mo Ruo left, he sought out the magistrate. "Tell me the location of Gaoshan Gang."
"Ah?"
"Faster!"
Zhang Huanping was stunned for a moment before he quickly called for someone to draw a simple map.
After memorizing the route on the map, Mo Ruo tore it up and threw it aside.
Then, he ordered, "Bring me a set of coarse clothes. The more torn, the better."
"Young Master Mo, this is …?"
"Hurry up and go."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhang Huanping did not dare to waste any more time and quickly ordered his men to prepare.
In the end …
When he brought it back, it was a set of beggar's clothes.
Furthermore …
It even stank.
It came in waves!
Mo Ruo wrinkled his nose and took the clothes with his thumb and middle finger, his face full of disgust.
Zhang Huanping asked carefully, "Young Master Mo, are you satisfied with this set of clothes?"
'I'm not satisfied at all!'
But he had no choice. These kinds of clothes were the best for concealment.
"I'm satisfied, of course I'm satisfied!"
Mo Ruo reluctantly accepted the clothes.
Then, he thought of something else.
"Zhang Huanping, this incident happened within your jurisdiction. Logically speaking, you should be the one to resolve it. However, Prince Rong is personally handling this matter. Therefore, you must keep this a secret. Not a single word can be leaked. If it reaches the capital, Prince Rong will take your life. Do you understand?"
"This lowly official understands. I won't say anything."
"You may leave."
"Yes."
Zhang Huanping quickly retreated.
Mo Ruo was a little disgusted by the beggar's clothes, but he had no choice. Ji Yunshu and Wei Yi were missing. He couldn't just sit there and do nothing, could he?
Who asked that brat to be immobilized?
This important task was handed to him.
Gradually, the sky brightened.
Gaoshan Village.
Zhao Huai sat on the tiger skin chair, thinking for a long time. He was still conflicted, unable to make up his mind.
On one hand, it was his brothers!
On the other hand, he wanted to know who destroyed his wine. On the other hand, he had always wanted the Jade Extraction Bottle in Zhao Qing's hands.
Da Chui and a few of his henchmen watched from the side. They moved and walked over, asking, "First Master, you still haven't made up your mind?"
"…"
"First Master, it's not that I want to say this, but that scholarly brat is just spouting nonsense. There's no way to find out who he is. Moreover, there's only a skeleton in the urn. How can we be sure?"
"…"
"First Master … Ah!"
Before Da Chui could finish, Zhao Huai lifted his leg and kicked Da Chui with all his might.
"Shut up."
Da Chui walked away in pain, clutching his stomach.
He dared not say another word.
At this time, Zhao Qing arrived.
Zhao Huai glanced at him coldly. "What? Have you had enough? You want to leave? "
"I want to know, have you made up your mind?"
"What?"
"Do you want to kill that Teacher Ji, or find out who the skeleton is?"
Zhao Huai heard this. Isn't this asking me a difficult question?
He had been conflicted for the whole night, and there was still no conclusion!
Zhao Qing said directly, "Zhao Huai, if I were you, I would not let things get any worse. I would choose to stop and let that person find out the truth about the skeleton in the urn. Moreover, I would give you my Jade Extraction Bottle. The one who benefits in the end will be you."
Zhao Huai retorted, "The ones who died are my brothers, not yours."
"But if you continue like this, more people will die. So what if you win?"
"…"
Zhao Huai stared at Zhao Qing with a burning gaze. He got up and walked to him.
He asked, "Who are those people to you? Why do you want to save them so badly? "
"You don't need to know."
"Could it be that they gave you money and treasures to save them?"
