Chapter 144 Oath to Kill Chu Jiangmian
The sunlight shone down from the shade of the tree, reflecting the light of the sword. The young master of Qin, Nie Wushuang, was carefully wiping his two swords under the tree. His sword had not seen blood for a long time, and he made a lonely controversy.
Nie Wushuang's injuries were almost healed. Jiang Song, who was lying inside, could not move. Just now, there was a noise in the city. Although the place where they were invisible was relatively remote, they could also vaguely hear it. So the mountain ghost immediately went out to inquire about the news.
Nie Wushuang felt excited. In his subconscious, he had already determined that this was a chaos in the Jinxiang Palace of Zhao Guo. The opposition force united by the royal nobles was extremely huge. They chose to attack today, which was indeed the right time.
After the chaos in Jinxiang Palace began, what he had to do to fuel the fire and make the entire Dragon City chaotic was something he was thinking about now.
The courtyard was silent and a leaf fell down. Nie Wushuang was shocked. He suddenly turned around, but saw a black figure climbing over the wall and running over hurriedly.
"Young Master! Something is wrong."
Before the person could see, the voice was already coming. Nie Wushuang looked at the mountain ghost who was so angry that he was out of breath. It was extremely rare for such a look to appear on him.
"What happened? Why is the city making noise?"
"Chu Jiangmian is back... Zhao's army won a great victory! It was defeated, but it was all defeated!"
"What failed? Explain it more clearly!"
Nie Wushuang's pupils suddenly tightened. He grabbed Shan Gui's arm and felt a strong sense of anxiety. Shan Gui took a few breaths, and his heart was beating violently calmed down. He ran back at a speed just now, in order to tell Nie Wushuang the shocking news quickly.
"Our army was defeated! The more than 130,000 Qin and Wei troops were all captured except for the casualties... According to legend, even General Wang Jian and Mr. Yunfeng became prisoners of the Zhao people and were taken back to Longcheng!"
What?! Even though Nie Wushuang had already had a premonition of something wrong, he never expected such serious consequences. He grabbed Shan Gui's arm hard and shouted sternly with some loss of composure.
"This is absolutely impossible! Chu Jiangmian only brought more than 10,000 cavalry... How could General Wang Jian fail? This must be their trick to seduce people!"
"Young Master! I also hope this is not true. However, I saw with my own eyes that the cavalry of Zhao brought back the heads of General Bai Chu of the Southern Han Dynasty and General Che Li of Wei... They were hung on the flagpole of the city gate! Moreover, Chu Jiangmian had returned to Jinxiang Palace under the reception of the crowd. Is this still false?"
The mountain ghost lowered his head in pain. Thinking of the boiling scene he witnessed in the dark place, he felt infinitely lost. The overall situation was decided, and there was no need to doubt it anymore.
Jiang Song, who heard the movement outside, also struggled to come out. After listening to the mountain ghost's words, he immediately believed that this would never be false. Because he had personally experienced the courage of the Zhao army's cavalry fighting, their fierce aura still makes him feel thirsty when he thinks about it.
"Young Master! Don't worry about these things anymore. You should not stay for a long time. For your safety, you must leave Longcheng immediately... Otherwise, if you change later, you may not be able to leave!"
Hearing his loud shout, Nie Wushuang was stunned for a moment. He let go of the arm that grabbed Shan Gui, and his face became very ugly.
"I won't leave! Chu Jiangmian is so powerful, it will become a great trouble for Qin in the future! If he is officially ascended to the throne and his wings, it will be difficult to curb him again... Only by letting him die now will it be the most beneficial result for Qin and the princes in the world!"
Shan Gui and Jiang Song were both shocked when they heard this. They hurriedly shook their hands to stop them and said, "Young Master, must not! Chu Jiangmian planned and defeated the lords' army with his own strength. The soldiers and civilians of Zhao State have now treated him as a hero. If you act rashly at this time, it will not only be difficult to succeed, but also if the young master makes mistakes, it will be too late to regret it!"
"Wrong! You are all wrong. Chu Jiangmian returns to Longcheng with the power of victory and is praised by everyone. This is the time when he is proud. At such a moment, no one can stay calm anymore. How can Chu Jiangmian be an exception? As long as we find the right opportunity, killing him now is easy!"
Nie Wushuang's attitude was very firm. He was both afraid and hated Chu Jiangmian in his heart. As long as he had a chance to get rid of him, he would never give up. The two subordinates obviously didn't think so. The two grinned and felt the bitterness of their mouths.
"Young Master... Alas! Victory and defeat are common in military affairs, so why should you be so upset? What's more, Chu Jiangmian is protected by his peerless masters, so it's not easy to kill him! It's not a pity for us to die, but the young master is noble and shoulders the burden of the future of Qin, so he will not be able to make any mistakes. I beg you to go back to Qin first and then make a long-term plan."
At this moment, the mountain ghost had to give him advice to death. His duty was to protect Nie Wushuang's safety. If something happened to this young master, not only would he find it difficult to survive, but even the entire family in Qin would die without a burial place!
"If you and Jiang Song are afraid of death, you can go first! I will never leave Longcheng before I kill Chu Jiangmian with my own hands. Humph!"
Seeing the two people chatting endlessly, Nie Wushuang was angry. He snorted coldly and his words became cold. Jiang Song secretly winked at the mountain ghost and signaled him not to say more. Then he endured the pain of the wound and bowed to salute.
"Since the young master has made a decision, we two naturally swear to follow us to the death! Well, what should we do in this step? Please give us instructions."
The mountain ghost had no choice but to respond and said, "I am willing to go through fire and water for the young master and kill Chu Jiangmian!"
Seeing the change in their attitudes, Nie Wushuang's face eased. At this critical moment, he really needed the greatest help. Sui patted the two of them on the shoulders and smiled again on his face.
"Don't worry, I will never take you to die easily! In addition to the opportunity I mentioned earlier, there is another most critical point, which is extremely beneficial to us. Do you two know?"
The mountain ghost glanced at Jiang Song, and the two of them shook their heads at the same time. In terms of changing power and making plans, the young master was beyond their imagination. Nie Wushuang smiled slightly. He liked the feeling of mastering everything very much. Suddenly pointed to the left direction, there was a deep wall, courtyard, pavilion, and luxurious palace!
"Actually, it's very simple to say it. The person who will provide us with great help is the owner of that mansion!"
"Young Master! Are you talking about the great journey of King Zhao? This is probably very difficult... I am afraid that they will cause trouble in the palace and even themselves will be unable to protect themselves! Can Chu Jiangmian and Queen Jiang Xin tolerate them?"
"Yes, young master! I was worried before. The reason why I asked you to leave quickly was that I was afraid that Uncle Wang would be unreliable! If he betrayed us in order to clear his relationship, it would be troublesome! How could such a person deal with him again? What's more, General Shangui said it right. It's not certain whether these royal nobles can come out of Jinxiang Palace alive!"
Unexpectedly, when he heard the two of them worry, Nie Wushuang shook his head repeatedly. He was a little disappointed with his subordinates' knowledge.
"I dare to conclude that Chu Daxing and others will never expose their connection with us. Don't forget that many royal families in the princes killed each other in order to compete for power, but this has never happened in Zhao. Because according to legend, King Zhao Chulie attaches great importance to the feelings within their clans. Unless there is a serious crime of treason, he will never easily take a knife. Since Chu Jiangmian inherited the mantle of King Zhao, how could he kill people and punish him when his body was not cold? Even if he holds a grudge in his heart, it will not happen at this time. The scheming Wang Shuchu Daxing is even more clear that they will not be punished publicly just for the throne dispute within the royal family. Because of this, he will not expose collusion with foreign enemies and increase his crimes... And this is our best opportunity!"
Shan Gui and Jiang Song's eyes lit up at the same time. Nie Wushuang's words were indeed correct! That's true. It seems that the reason why the young master was valued by the King of Qin and was called one of the four princes in the world was indeed not a false reputation that he had obtained out of thin air.
"The young master is far-sighted and thoughtful, and it is beyond our reach!"
"Of course, the situation in Longcheng has undergone such a huge change, and we must beware of accidents. Be prepared. Once there is a change, we will break out of Longcheng!"
"Young Master, how do you judge whether we have been exposed?"
"It's very simple. As long as there is no movement in Uncle Wang's mansion, it means that everything is as usual. There is no major change in Jinxiang Palace. So, within the past two days, you can pay close attention to the situation there."
"But, how long will we stay here?"
"It won't be too long. Since Chu Jiangmian has temporarily resolved the crisis facing Zhao State, the next step must be to bury the coffin of King Zhao and then officially ascend to the throne. Two important things are such great etiquette in Dragon City, and extremely grand. The opportunity to kill him is among them!"
Nie Wushuang inserted the sword hard to the ground, and it seemed that he had already seen Chu Jiangmian's head cut off with his own hands. The reason why he was so confident was that in addition to the reasons mentioned just now, there was another most important thing, and he did not mention it to Shan Gui and Jiang Song.
Because he believed that if Qin State suffered such a great loss this time, his father Nie Feng would never give up. Especially the capture of general Wang Jian and Gongzi Yunfeng, it is even more important. If the speculation is good, the most powerful master of Qin State Gou Miedu is now on the way to Longcheng!
Another bloody storm, the battle between dragons and tigers is about to begin.
