Chapter 584

When the three tall soldiers swung up, they prepared their axes and cut hard at the iron chain connecting the cable bridge and the stone pillar on the bank.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The axe and the iron chain hit each other, and the sound was deafening, and the scrap iron splashed and sparked a little.

Another axe fell and one of the chains broke.

At this time, the sound of horse hoofs suddenly came from the other side.

"It's Xu Jiajun!"

"Chase! Cross the bridge!"

"Deputy General Yang, they are cutting the bridge!"

Yang Yong, the deputy general who rushed in front, suddenly changed his face, stopped his horse near the bridge and ordered in a hurry: "shoot an arrow!"

"Still put your mother's arrow! A disgraceful thing!" Qin Wu scolded loudly across the Jingshui River, but his tone and expression were very happy.

His family's general's carriage has gone first, and these bastards are still jumping around here!

Another axe hit it hard, and the last iron chain was no longer able to bear the blow, completely separated from the stone pillar.

The long cable bridge lost one end and fell into the Jingshui river like a giant snake.

Qin Wu bent over and grabbed the axe in the hand of one of the soldiers and threw it at the soldiers still shooting arrows on the other side.

He was famous for his strange power. The axe left his hand and roared away with the tide and cold river wind, just like a deadly beast attacking and biting people.

As soon as Yang Yong's pupil shrinks, he quickly drives his horse to avoid. The soldiers who shoot the arrow also stop the attack and make a mess.

At this time, Qin Wu's loud voice came from the other side again: "Grandpa Yang, I don't have time to repair you today. I'll take your dog's life another day! Ha ha!"

"Drive!"

Qin Wu patted his horse and left the river bank with his subordinates. Even his back was happy.

Looking at the figure of the line of people and horses soon disappeared into the poplar forest on the other side, just like the beast returning to the forest after breaking free from the shackles, Yang Yong clenched his teeth, and the fear at the bottom of his heart spread uncontrollably.

The Duke of the town is really so opposite!

"Vice General Yang, what are we going to do next?"

Yang Yong's head is going to explode.

How does he know how to deal with it!

"Take someone to the palace and tell it!"

The soldier who opened his mouth was stunned: "... Does it belong to him?"

"Nonsense!" Yang Yong turned his horse's head and said in a deep voice, "go back to camp!"

The soldier stood in his place and wanted to cry without tears.

He failed to stop the Duke of the town and failed to do the job. Going to the palace at this time is not so much to deliver a letter, but rather to call it death.

Looking at the turbulent River, the soldier suddenly had the idea of doubting life - why did he have to ask that?

……

In Dali temple, the fire has been put out. Seeing that the assassins who robbed the prison could not succeed, they all collapsed and left.

As soon as the situation was under control, the Secretary of Dali Temple took people to the burning file building to deal with the follow-up matters.

After explaining the job of hunting the assassin, Ji Xiu took two confidants to the dungeon.

He doesn't care whether these assassins can be chased back, and he doesn't intend to chase them in person - he hasn't gone crazy enough to help the murderer resist the enemy and solve problems.

Anyway, his ability is mediocre. He is a fool. It's luck to do well or bad, and it's normal to do bad.

Now all he cares about is revenge!

There are many strange things today. He can't rest assured until he sees that Xia Tingzhen, an old fox, is still in prison.

The sky outside was gloomy, and the prison was much darker.

As the gate was opened, the wind came in and encouraged several wind lamps hanging on the stone wall to agitate uneasily.

The jailer led the way, went all the way in, and finally stopped in front of the innermost separate cell, took out the key and opened the cell door.

"I have something to ask Xia Shoufu alone -"

When Ji Xiu spoke about Xia Shoufu, there was an unspeakable irony in his tone.

The jailer responded wisely and retreated far away.

Two confidants were outside the cell. Jixiu raised his feet and went in.

The cell was not big. It had an old wooden table, a bench and a narrow bed built against the wall, on which there was a moldy thin quilt.

And the bed looked hard and thin, but it was folded very neatly.

Ji Xiu saw it in his eyes and squeezed out a sneer from between his teeth: "Xia Shoufu is calm and relaxed. I think he should plan strategies and decide that he won't die here -"

The man in prison clothes, hands and feet locked with chains, sat by the edge of the bed and slightly raised his eyes to Jixiu.

Those eyes were still cold and solemn, indistinguishable from the past.

The look in Ji Xiu's eyes was like a huge thorn in his heart, which made him angry and uneasy. As he said just now, the other party was calm and relaxed everywhere. He didn't know what way to go and whether there were any tricks left... And he couldn't tolerate the other party to leave here alive again!

"Assassinating Shengjia in the Taimiao temple and arranging another person to rob the prison. This move seems not very clever. It's not like Xia Shoufu's consistent calculation."

Ji Xiu suppressed his uneasiness by satirizing the failure of the other party's action: "the master wants to cook the dog, and the dog in turn wants to kill the master. This play is also wonderful. It's a pity that this bite can't bite the harm. I'm afraid I can't jump on it again."

Xia Tingzhen's eyes moved.

Assassinate Shengjia

Prison robbery?

When Ji Xiu came up, he pointed these two things at him. Did Rong's mistake expose him?

But the so-called prison robbery is obviously that someone is making trouble under his banner

Including just now he heard from the prison guards that there was an assassination in the temple

This one by one, I'm afraid, is the real "East and west" of those who have a heart!

Xia Tingzhen thought a few times and guessed frequently. Out of confirmation and temptation, he said coldly: "Xia still can't do such a stupid thing by openly robbing the prison in the capital. But Lord Ji, I don't know where to get a few guesses that I don't know the true or false, so he was eager to come to Xia for ridicule and sarcasm. He wasn't afraid to put the real main messenger wrong and miss his job."

"Xia Shoufu is in prison and can still make decisions outside. Although the assassination failed, he kidnapped the empress dowager, Empress Wu and the little prince as hostages. I think it's necessary to use this to talk to the emperor about conditions - why, now he doesn't even dare to admit it?" Ji Xiu was sarcastic, but in fact he was testing.

He always has doubts about what happened today.

"Took away the Empress Dowager and the little prince?" Xia Tingzhen's expression finally changed.

Empress dowager, Queen, little prince

These three people are very important, and each has a use that others can't replace!

The other party took advantage of the chaos and robbed the three people. It's going to make a big deal!

Ji Xiu looked into his eyes and frowned quickly.

Is it true that Xia Tingzhen didn't do it?

The assassins who robbed the prison just now do look different

Since they robbed the prison, they should fight to death, but those people retreated one after another as soon as they saw the adverse situation

Is it just to create the illusion of trying to rob the prison to confuse the eyes of all places?

Thinking of a possibility, Ji Xiu was shocked.

If it wasn't Xia Tingzhen's arrangement, all he could think of was only one person

Zhenguogong!

He said long ago that the posture of Miss Xu's family made it clear that she was going to rebel!

The so-called right to hand over troops was originally not only to push Xia Tingzhen, but also to delay time and confuse the emperor's attention, so as to win the opportunity to abduct the Empress Dowager and the queen!

At this moment, Mr. Ji said he had completely realized it.

What he could think of was that Xia Tingzhen had guessed.

When the Duke of the town returned to Beijing this time, he didn't tear his face with the emperor. Sure enough, he had a plan!

In the early morning of that day, he was aware of it, but the stupid Emperor never gave him a chance to speak. Now he has not got the military power and lost his wife and soldiers. He is really stupid.

——He's really a fool who's gone wrong!

"Today's Taimiao is mostly the plan of the Duke of the town to get rid of his shell..."

Xia Tingzhen looked at Ji Xiu and said, "if the Duke of town escapes from the capital today, the situation is bound to be unbalanced, and he robbed the Empress Dowager to help the king of Yan... In this situation, instead of being quick to fall into a well and stone, Lord Ji might as well pave a way for himself. In order to avoid falling to pieces under the strife of the situation."

"Xia Shoufu is always high above the sun and cherishes words like gold. He has never disdained to speak more than half a word in Ji. Why are you so kind to remind him now?"

While Ji Xiu was talking, he approached Xia Tingzhen slowly. His eyes were immersed in the dark, which made people not look carefully. The lower his voice was, the colder he became: "do you think I'm still useful, or even stupid enough to be used by my enemies again?"

Looking at Ji Xiu who came in front of him, Xia Tingzhen's eyebrows moved, and her expression didn't fluctuate too much.

I already know.

"When I was immersed in the pain of losing my son, it was your words that provoked and blurred the truth that made me hate the Yan king by mistake!"

Xia Tingzhen calmly opened her eyes full of hate: "since you know the truth, you should know that the real enemy is not me. I couldn't even be called an aide in the camp. I was just a gentleman who taught young masters to read. What I did was just following orders -"

Under orders

Ji Xiu gave a silent sneer.

If someone else, he might think so, but Xia Tingzhen

Over the years, he had already seen the face of the other party. He thought it was the other party's idea rather than being ordered!

Divulges the fact that King Yan wants to attack the enemy camp, and sets up an ambush on his way back

This may not be a name for the eldest son!

No, maybe conspiracy

After all, the reason why these two people get together is that they have the same taste!

Xia Tingzhen chose the commoner's eldest son who didn't attract people's attention at all, but she didn't respond because she had made a good offer to the king of Yan. The mother family of the king of Yan had power and power, was easygoing, but she had her own pride, and didn't bother to play with the so-called conspiracy.

So Xia Tingzhen can only find a generation who is as treacherous as herself to support!

Now he says he's just acting under orders!

The dignified chief assistant, in the face of a man who never pays attention to him, will he not even have the courage to admit it?

Not afraid to admit

I want to do it again!

Eighteen years ago, he took advantage of his hatred for the Yan king. Eighteen years later, he still wanted to take advantage of his hatred for the emperor!

But this is not what makes him most angry. At this moment, what makes him most unbearable is the calm and calm in the other party's tone——

Words can be false, but after being exposed, the arrogance is still light and calm, but it is naturally revealed!

At the moment he broke the truth, the other party didn't even dodge... It seemed that the lives of his two sons were not enough to be seen in the eyes, just an old thing worth mentioning!

No repentance, no guilt, some just despise.

They were his own flesh and blood. They were two good children who would still make him heartache when they met in a dream after eighteen years!

Xia Tingzhen was unaware of Ji Xiu's uncontrollable anger at this time.

In other words, these are the most useless emotions in his view, which he can't personally experience.

People often lose one or two points of sensitivity to things they can't empathize with.

Therefore, his words continued——

"There are as many people who want to compete for the world now, but king Yan has the help of the Wu family, and now there are more town princes, which can be regarded as the person with the greatest chance of winning. If King Yan once gains power, does Ji Shangshu think he still has a way to live?"

Xia Tingzhen's voice was slow and calm, but there was invisible persuasion: "one side is the enemy who owes you, and the other side is the enemy who owes you. I don't know how Ji Shangshu plans to go next?"

"According to Xia Shoufu's high opinion, how can I go?" Ji Xiu's tone sounded calmer.

"Your Majesty is exhausted now. Fortunately, there is still a little prince under his knee. Even if he is kidnapped by Xu Qiwei, he can try to find it in the future. Even if he can't find it, there is still a prince in the court -"

"The meaning of Xia Shoufu is to let Ji kill a king and support a young emperor?"

"Why not kill the enemy?"

"What an enemy, why not..." Ji Xiu suddenly smiled.

Sure enough, he is a person who is good at controlling people's hearts and climbs to the position of first aid!

If he had not made an agreement with the Xu family, "there is no way out", I'm afraid he would be shaken in the other party's words!

If he had to deal with people anyway, he had no reason to choose an enemy who killed his son.

He is still a bit sure of the fairness of the town. At least he doesn't have to worry that the Xu family will turn back.

Moreover, although the person in front of him has some skills to play politics, these so-called skills are more suitable for the year of peace, or opportunism under the favorable conditions of time and place - and in the real troubled times, under the fighting of thousands of troops, he is doomed to be a paper tiger vulnerable to one blow.

At this moment, looking at the enemy in front of him, Ji Xiu was even happy.

Fortunately, he met Miss Xu that day. Fortunately, he still had a choice, so he wouldn't compromise with his enemy in order to save Wan'er!

Now, instead of compromising

Ji Xiu took another step forward, but he suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Xia Tingzhen's neck.

"... on the day I learned the truth, I vowed to get justice for my two children! Today, as a father, I will send you down to apologize to them!"

The hand tightened violently between her neck. Xia Tingzhen's face turned red quickly. Her hands struggled and made a difficult voice: "are you crazy..."

How dare the other party fight him here at this time!

Does this fool want to die with him!
