Wishful Things

The axes that the three tall soldiers had prepared when they swung up, slashed heavily at the iron chain connecting the cable bridge and the stone pillars on the shore.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The sound of the clash between the ax and the iron chain was deafening, and the splash of iron filings sparked sparks.

Another ax fell, and one of the chains snapped.

At this time, the sound of rolling horseshoes suddenly came from the opposite bank.

"It's Xu Jiajun!"

"Chase! Cross the bridge!"

"Vice General Yang, they are cutting bridges!"

The lieutenant general Yang Yong who was rushing to the front suddenly changed his face, approached the bridge and reined in his horse abruptly, and ordered urgently: "Shoot the arrow!"

"You still let your mother's arrows go! What a shameful thing!" Qin Wu cursed loudly across the Jingshui River, but his tone was extremely carefree.

His general's carriage has already left, and these bums are still wandering around here!

With another slam of the axe, the last iron chain couldn't bear the blow no matter how hard it was, and it was completely separated from the stone pillar.

The long cable bridge lost its restraint at one end and fell into the Jingshui River like a giant snake.

Qin Wu bent over and snatched the ax from one of the soldiers, and threw it at the soldiers on the other side who were still shooting arrows.

He is famous for his strange strength, the ax left his hand, whizzed away in the cold tide wind, like a deadly beast attacking people.

Yang Yong's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly drove his horse to dodge. The soldiers who fired arrows also stopped their offensive and became a mess.

At this time, Qin Wu's resounding voice came from the other side again: "My surname is Yang, the grandpas don't have time to fix you today, and they will kill you when they are free some other day! Hahahaha!"

"drive!"

Qin Wu patted his horse and left the river bank with his subordinates, even his back was full of pleasure.

Watching the figures of the pedestrians disappear into the poplar forest on the opposite bank, like a beast returning to the forest after breaking free, Yang Yong clenched his teeth, and the fear in his heart spread uncontrollably.

Zhen Guogong really turned his back on it like this!

"Vice General Yang, what shall we do next?"

Yang Yong's head was about to explode.

How does he know how to deal with it!

"Hurry up and take someone to the palace to report this matter!"

The soldier who spoke was taken aback when he heard that: "...is it subordinate?"

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

The soldier stood there wanting to cry but had no tears.

He failed to stop Lord Zhen Guo, and the errand was ruined. Going to the palace at this time is not so much a delivery of a letter, he would rather call it a death.

Looking at the rushing river, the soldier had the idea of ​​doubting his life for a moment-why did he insist on asking that question just now?

...

In Dali Temple, the fire had been extinguished, and the assassins who robbed the prison saw that they could not succeed, and they all fled in defeat.

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

After confessing the task of hunting down the assassin, Ji Xiu took his two henchmen to the dungeon.

Whether these assassins can be chased back, he doesn't care at all, and he has no intention of chasing them himself-helping the murderers and enemies to defend against the enemy with all their strength, solve problems, he is not crazy enough.

Anyway, his ability is mediocre, he is an idiot, it is luck if he does not do well, and it is normal if he does not do well.

Now all he cares about is revenge!

There are a lot of strange things going on today, he has to see with his own eyes that the old fox Xia Tingzhen is still in prison before he can rest assured.

The sky outside was gloomy, but it became darker and darker in the prison.

As the gate was opened, the wind came in and encouraged the wind lanterns hanging on the stone wall to flutter uncomfortably.

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

"I have some questions to ask Xia Shoufu alone—"

When Ji Xiu opened his mouth and mentioned the words Xia Shoufu, his tone was filled with indescribable sarcasm.

The jailer responded wisely and retreated far away.

The two confidantes stood guard outside the cell, and Ji Xiu lifted his foot and walked in.

The cell is not big, with an old wooden table, a stool, and a narrow bed built against the wall, with a moldy thin quilt on it.

Moreover, the hard-looking thin quilt on the bed was folded very neatly.

Ji Xiu saw it, and squeezed a sneer from between his teeth: "Xia Shoufu is calm and composed, presumably he planned a strategy and decided that he would not die here—"

The man in the prison uniform with chains on his hands and feet sat on the edge of the bed, raised his eyes slightly to look at Ji Xiu.

Those eyes were still cold and solemn, no different from the past.

This look pierced Ji Xiu's heart like a huge thorn, making him angry and uneasy. Just like what he said just now, the other party was always calm and calm, and he didn't know what backtrack he had laid, whether there were any tricks he hadn't used yet... ...And he will never tolerate the other party leaving this place alive!

"Assassinating the holy car in the Taimiao, and arranging another manpower to rob the prison, this move seems not very clever, and it's not like Xia Shoufu's usual strategy."

Ji Xiu satirized the opponent's failure to suppress his uneasiness: "The master wants to cook the dog, and the dog kills the master in turn. This play is really exciting, but it's a pity that this bite failed to bite the vital point. If you want to pounce on it again I'm afraid I can't."

Xia Tingzhen's eyes moved slightly.

Assassinate the holy driver...

Prison?

When Ji Xiu came up, he pointed these two things at him. Could it be that Rong's mistake was revealed?

But the so-called prison robbery is obviously caused by someone under his banner...

Including just now from the mouths of those jailers, he faintly heard that there was an assassination in the Taimiao...

This piece, I am afraid it is the real "strife" of the caring people!

Xia Tingzhen thought about it for a while, and guessed frequently. Out of confirmation and temptation, he said coldly: "Xia can't do such a stupid thing in blatantly robbing prison in this capital. It's Mr. Ji, I don't know where he got it." I don’t know the truth or not, so I hurriedly come to Xia to ridicule him, so I’m not afraid of misplacing the real messenger and missing my job.”

"Xia Shoufu is in prison, but he can still make decisions outside. Although the assassination failed, he took the Empress Dowager, Empress Wu and the little prince as hostages. It must be used to negotiate terms with the emperor—what, now But don’t you even dare to admit it?” Ji Xiu was sarcastic on the surface, but he was actually probing.

He is always skeptical about today's events.

"Abducted the empress dowager and the little prince?" Xia Tingzhen's expression finally changed.

Empress dowager, empress, little prince...

These three people are all very important, and each has an irreplaceable role for others!

The other party took advantage of the chaos to rob these three people, and something big was going to happen!

Ji Xiu saw his expression in his eyes and frowned very quickly.

Could it be that Xia Tingzhen did not do it?

Those assassins who robbed the prison just now were really strange...

Since it was a prison robbery, they should have tried their best to kill them, but when those people saw that the situation was unfavorable, they retreated one after another...

Is it just to create the illusion of attempting to rob the prison, so as to confuse everyone's attention?

Thinking of a possibility, Ji Xiu's heart trembled.

If it really wasn't Xia Tingzhen's arrangement, then there is only one person left in his mind...

Lord Zhen!

He had said long ago that the attitude of the girl from the Xu family was clearly intended to rebel!

The so-called right to fight was not only to push Xia Tingzhen, but also to delay time, confuse the emperor's attention, and seize the opportunity to kidnap the empress dowager and empress!

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

As for what he could think of, Xia Tingzhen had already guessed it at this time.

The reason why Zhen Guogong didn't tear up his face with the emperor when he returned to Beijing this time was because he really had a plan!

When he came to the court that morning, he had already noticed it, but the stupid emperor never gave him a chance to speak. Now that he has not won the military power, lost his wife and lost the army, he is really stupid.

——It really is a fool who made a mistake!

"Today's incident in the Taimiao is mostly the result of Zhen Guogong Jin Chan's plan to get rid of his shell..."

Xia Tingzhen looked at Ji Xiu, and said, "If Lord Zhen escaped from the capital today, the situation would definitely be out of balance, and he robbed the Queen Mother, obviously he wanted to help the King of Yan... In such a situation, Master Ji would rather use this insulting tongue It’s better to pave a way out for yourself, so as not to be crushed by the situation.”

"Xia Shoufu Su Ri is high above all others, he cherishes words like gold, and never disdains Ji Mou's extravagant words, why is he so kind to remind him now?"

While Ji Xiu was speaking, Chao Xia Tingzhen approached slowly, his eyes were immersed in the dimness so that people could not see carefully, but his voice became lower and colder: "I think I am still useful, and even stupid enough to kill my son again Is it used by the enemy?!"

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

It turned out that I already knew it.

"Back then, I was immersed in the pain of bereavement. It was your words that provoked and obscured the truth, which made me hate King Yan by mistake!"

Facing those eyes full of hatred, Xia Tingzhen calmly said, "Since you already know the truth, you should know that the real enemy is not me. Back then, I wasn't even a staff member in the camp, but just an identity. He is just a humble gentleman who teaches the young masters to read and write, and what he does is only obeying orders—"

ordered...

Ji Xiu sneered silently.

If it were someone else, he might think so, but Xia Tingzhen...

Over the years, he had already seen clearly what the other person was like under the skin. Rather than saying that what happened back then was an order, he thought it might be the other party's idea!

Leaked the fact that King Yan wanted to sneak attack on the enemy camp, and set up an ambush on the way back...

This may not be a certificate dedicated to the eldest son of the concubine back then!

No, maybe it's a conspiracy...

After all, the reason why these two get together is that they share similar tastes!

The reason why Xia Tingzhen chose the unattractive eldest son back then was simply because he had shown favor to King Yan before but failed to respond. The mother family of King Yan is powerful and easy-going but also has its own pride. They don't even bother to play so-called conspiracies.

So Xia Tingzhen had no choice but to find someone who was as treacherous as himself to support him!

Now he says that he is only following orders!

The dignified Shoufu, would he not even have the guts to admit it to someone he never looked down upon?

It's not that I dare not admit it...

I want to repeat the old trick!

More than 20 years ago, he used his hatred for King Yan, and more than 20 years later, he still wants to use his hatred for the emperor!

But this is not what made him most angry. At this moment, what made him most unbearable was the calmness in the other party's tone——

Words can be false, but the arrogance that remains calm and calm after being exposed is naturally revealed!

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

No confession, no guilt, just contempt.

Those were his own flesh and blood, the two good children who would still make his heart hurt unbearably when they met again in a dream after more than twenty years!

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

In other words, these are the most useless emotions in his opinion, which he cannot personally experience.

People often lose a little bit of sensitivity to things that they can't empathize with.

Therefore, his words continued——

"Nowadays there are so many people who want to fight for the world, but King Yan has the help of the Wu family, and now there is an additional Duke of Zhen, who can be said to be the one with the best chance of winning. If King Yan gains power, Ji Shangshu thinks that he still has a way out speak?"

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 money. I don't know how Ji Shangshu plans to go on the road ahead?"

"According to Xia's advice, how should I go?" Ji Xiu's tone seemed to be much calmer.

"Your Majesty is exhausted now. Fortunately, there is still a little prince under your knees. Even if Xu Qiwei takes him captive, he can try to find him in the future. Even if he can't find him, there is still a prince in the court—"

"Xia Shoufu's intention is to ask Ji to kill the king and support a young emperor?"

"Why not kill the enemy with your own hands?"

"What a slasher, why not..." Ji Xiu suddenly laughed.

Sure enough, he is a person who has climbed to the position of chief assistant by virtue of his ability to control people's hearts!

If he hadn't made an agreement with Xu's family, now that he is "desperate", he might be shaken by the other party's words!

If he had to make a deal with someone no matter what, he would choose someone who would kill his son and his enemy for no reason.

He is somewhat sure of Zhen Guogong's character, at least he doesn't have to worry about the Xu family going back on their word.

Furthermore, although the person in front of him has a bit of ability to play tricks, but these so-called abilities are more applicable to the time of peace, or opportunism under the right time and place - but in the real troubled times, under the fighting of thousands of troops , is destined to be a vulnerable paper tiger.

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

Fortunately, he met the Xu family girl that day, and fortunately he still had a choice, so that he would not compromise with the enemy in order to protect Wan'er!

Now, instead of having to compromise...

Ji Xiu took another step forward, but suddenly raised his hand to strangle Xia Tingzhen's neck.

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

The hand tightened violently around the neck, Xia Tingzhen's face turned red quickly, and she struggled with both hands, struggling to make a sound: "Are you crazy..."

How dare the other party attack him here and now!

Does this idiot actually want to die with him!
