A Chat
Jing Rong's guards were very vigilant, shielding Ji Yunshu's petite figure behind them.
He reprimanded, "Whose orders are you serving?"
The newcomer straightened his back and looked at Ji Yunshu, "Teacher Ji will know when you get there."
Still keeping me in suspense?
Ji Yunshu asked, "Who are you?"
His tone was neither heavy nor light.
"Teacher Ji, rest assured that we will not harm you. As long as you come with us, we will bring His Highness here later."
Bring Jing Rong here?
Ji Yunshu carefully looked at the person in front of her. There was no murderous intent in his eyes, only respect.
And this person had brought at least a hundred people with him. She was alone and weak. If she were to fight with her life on the line, she would definitely be at a disadvantage.
Even if she broke out of the encirclement, she would either die or be injured!
Thinking about it, it was indeed not worth it.
Thereupon —
Ji Yunshu said, "Alright, I will go with you."
The guard was shocked, "Teacher Ji, His Highness wants us to stay behind to protect you. If you …"
"I believe that they will not harm me," Ji Yunshu said firmly.
The newcomer smiled, "Teacher Ji, you are an honored guest. We will naturally not harm you. You can come with us."
The guard continued to dissuade her.
But Ji Yunshu was determined.
She was worried, "They have too many people."
Everyone knew Ji Yunshu's temperament. If she had made up her mind, even a hundred oxen might not be able to pull her back.
She could even compete with His Highness!
Thereupon —
She left with the guards that Jing Rong had left behind to take care of her.
After boarding the carriage, they quickly left the official road. Where were they headed?
She sat in the carriage, calming her wildly beating heart. She lifted the curtain with two fingers and looked out. The carriage was still traveling in the forest, on a very uneven road.
The journey was bumpy.
Soon, the entourage in the carriage exited the forest and finally reached a wide road.
There happened to be a stone tablet beside the road.
Jingzhou was written on it!
Jingzhou?
Yes, their road to the capital was originally next to Jingzhou.
But who were these people? Why did they bring her to Jingzhou? Who were they meeting? You?
She thought about it carefully.
Jingzhou?
That must be Marquis Kang's place.
She finally understood.
Indeed, only Marquis Kang could nurture an army here, and only he could do such a thing.
But at this moment, Jing Rong was completely unaware.
They were fighting in the blood amber.
Not death!
Is to live.
Although the men were tall and sturdy, had great strength and were very durable, they were still like bandits meeting soldiers when they met Jing Rong's group.
He could only take a beating!
Originally, there were more than ten strong men, but in the end, there were only three left.
The three of them had never shown fear in their eyes. They trembled as they retreated and questioned them, "Who … are you?"
His voice was trembling.
Tang Si stepped forward and said, "This great aunt will never change my name or my surname. I am Tang Si."
Hey hey hey, I'm not asking you.
All three of them looked at Jing Rong.
Jing Rong's gaze was sharp as he coldly swept his gaze across the room. "You should ask King Yanluo after you die."
The three of them were terrified. Looking at the corpses on the ground, it was as if they were looking at themselves. In the end, they could only become one of those corpses.
Blood gushed out!
However, in the midst of their fear, they decided to make a final struggle.
One of them shouted, "Even if I die, I'll take you with me."
With that, he raised his saber above his head. Just as he was about to slash down, a sharp arrow suddenly shot out from the depths of the forest, piercing through the back of the man's head all the way to his forehead.
It was very powerful!
The arrow pierced through his head and landed on a tree.
There was a hole in the man's head.
Ugh!
His eyes turned white as he fell to the ground, dead.
The other two men were stunned, the sabers in their hands frozen in mid-air.
Following that, another two sharp arrows shot out from the depths of the forest, killing the remaining two men as well.
What's going on?
Jing Rong turned to look. A rustling sound came from the pitch-black forest, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.
Accompanied by a ball of fire, it was getting closer and closer!
Nearly a hundred people rushed out of the forest.
Each of them was dressed in armor, their expressions fierce.
Before they could figure out who they were, they saw a stern-looking man come forward and respectfully cupped his hands towards Jing Rong.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
"You are?"
"We are Marquis Kang's men."
Marquis Kang?
Surprise!
This was the territory of Jingzhou, so of course it was Marquis Kang's territory. Therefore, these people were also Marquis Kang's estate soldiers.
Jing Rong frowned, "Why are you here?"
"We were ordered to capture these fugitives."
"Fugitives?" He looked at the corpses on the ground. Aren't these fugitives? The tattoos on their arms weren't just tattoos. All the fugitives who were imprisoned in Jingzhou's prison would have such tattoos on their bodies.
He should have thought of this earlier.
Jing Rong didn't want to deal with Marquis Kang's men. Moreover, Ji Yunshu was still waiting for him at the camp. The sooner he left, the sooner he could return, so that she wouldn't worry.
He said coldly, "Since the fugitives are dead, you can go back and report."
"Wang Ye." That person stopped him. "This lowly servant and the others still have a mission."
"What is it?"
"The Marquis ordered us to bring you to his estate."
Eh?
Wait a minute …
Speaking of which, how did that old fellow know that he was in Jingzhou?
He was summoned back to the capital by a secret edict. Logically speaking, even if the news was to spread, it wouldn't have spread so quickly. Moreover, it wouldn't have reached the ears of Marquis Kang, who had already retired from the imperial court!
Was there anything wrong with this?
Could it be that Qiao Zheng tipped him off?
Jing Rong pondered for a while, going through all the possibilities.
Finally, he scanned the surroundings and said, "Bring this prince to his estate? Why? Could it be that Marquis Kang already knew that this prince would come? "
"Yes, that's why we're here to bring Your Highness to our residence. Marquis also said that he'd like to discuss the matter with Your Highness about the few thousand troops he borrowed to attack the Gaoshan Gang, but they were all wiped out."
Discuss?
F * ck!
That old fellow!
What the hell is he up to?
The Emperor had already given him his favorite Golden Woven Armor as compensation. He was already so happy that his front teeth were about to fall out. How could he still want to settle old scores with this prince?
Jing Rong rejected sternly, "There's no need. This prince still has matters to attend to and has no time to meet Marquis Kang. You can help me tell him that if there's time in the future, this prince will definitely bring the best wine to discuss the matter of borrowing troops with the Marquis."
Jing Rong was about to leave with his men.
The person who came was still unwilling to give up and called out to him, "Your Highness, please wait. The Marquis knows that Your Highness is returning to the capital, so he said that if Your Highness goes to meet him, you definitely won't be at a disadvantage."
There was a hidden meaning in his words!
Won't be at a disadvantage?
