Chapter 23
Half an hour ago, he stood in the cabin. Although there were twenty loyal servants who were willing to die for him, the feeling of suffocation made him unforgettable. He likes to plan for the worst.

At that time, Jiang Chengxiao was thinking, what would happen to his fate if he was captured by those thieves?
How those people will treat him as a "big fish", he seems to be able to see himself locked in a dark water prison, and may even be killed by those people with a knife, he will become a pile of bones, his The corpse will be eaten up by the fish and shrimps in Luoshui. After a thousand years, Luoshui will dry up, and his corpse will be regarded as an ancient man who fell into the water. Who would know that he was once a prominent prince.

More importantly, he didn't even know the enemy who wanted his life.He even suspected that he was just a pawn sent to die. This ignorant sense of powerlessness annoyed him quite a bit.

"Get up."

Jiang Chengxiao turned his back to Shenju and Nanba, and the two slaves each glanced at each other and stood up slowly.Jiang Chengxiao turned around and inserted the horizontal knife back into the Shenju scabbard, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "Clean it up, don't let others see it."

"Yes."

Shenju and Nan Ba ​​quickly walked over and squatted down to clean up the table table that was split in half by Jiang Chengxiao's sword.

The next day, Lou Chuan entered Luoyang.The capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty experienced more than 200 years of war after the wars of the Three Kingdoms, and finally exuded the grandeur of a world-famous city in the Jin Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, I hope your Majesty will be more concerned about the announcement of Qi County's decree."

At Luoyang's official pier, Jiane clasped his hands and said, "This time there are thieves attacking the official ship in Luoshui. Our family must immediately go back to Chang'an City to report to His Majesty, and send the army to destroy them. We must not let these thieves be so arrogant."

"It's Lao Jia, be careful all the way." Jiang Chengxiao had a faint smile on his face, as if the turmoil last night hadn't affected him at all.In fact, he was sneering in his heart, this eunuch was either afraid of death, or the emperor gave him other tasks, otherwise he hadn't arrived in Qi County yet, how could he, as a palace eunuch sent by the emperor himself, have the guts to run back halfway? .

Going back with him was a team of about 20 soldiers of the Jinwu Guard. Jiang Chengxiao knew a little about these people. They were all second-generation officials who were afraid of death. They hadn’t experienced any wind and rain. Please order to escort Jia Nei back to Chang'an City.

To put it bluntly, they were cowardly.Thinking about it, a group of dudes who only know how to fight cocks and run dogs in Chang'an City, it's hard for them to travel thousands of miles to Qi County. The courage to go on.

Jiang Chengxiao pretended not to know, and had no intention of exposing these people.In fact, he also wanted to go back, but he didn't dare, much less could, if he just went back because he was afraid of death, he didn't know what the emperor would think of him, but his father who was born in the army would definitely not think highly of him he.

Looking at Jiang Chengxiao's gentle face, Jia's attendant struggled a little in his heart. The prince might not know what he was about to face, but he couldn't say it out of the emperor's order.

However, he was still going to remind him vaguely.

"My son, be careful when you go to Qi County."

Jiang Chengxiao nodded, needless to say, he knew it himself.

Immediately, Janei and twenty Jinwu guards left on horseback, and Jiang Chengxiao couldn't stay in Luoyang because of the emperor's order. He didn't feel regretful that he didn't have time to take a look at this world-famous city. He only worried about his own life now.

He felt that there was a fog ahead of him, and he had no direction.

"Hmph, people who are greedy for life and afraid of death." Li Yaoshi said, "The mere water bandits scare them like this. I am really ashamed to be the Jinwu Guard with them."

Hearing Li Yaoshi's words, Jiang Chengxiao smiled and said nothing.Attacking an official ship is tantamount to provoking the imperial court. In a time of peace and prosperity, who would dare to commit suicide?Even if he was killed, he would not believe that those people were water bandits.

"Let's go too, we can't waste time, otherwise we won't be able to complete His Majesty's task, and we will all be punished."

A group of people mounted their horses, took the official road, and rushed towards Qi County.Entering Luoyang is tantamount to leaving Guanzhong. The land east of the river is a vast plain, and there is no obstacle to galloping horses.

Three days later, a group of people entered the post station in the suburbs of Dongjun County to rest.Traveling on a starry night, people were tired and horses were exhausted, so I had to stop to rest.

In the past few days, Jiang Chengxiao experienced the bumpy feeling of the "roller coaster", and he didn't know how many times he vomited in private along the way. His legs were sandwiched between the horse's belly, and the friction was painful.

"My son, let's eat some food." Shenju entered the room with the food provided by the post station, put the food on the table, saw Jiang Chengxiao resting on the cushion, although he couldn't bear to disturb the son, he had to wake him up because They will be on their way early tomorrow morning. Judging from Shizi's vomiting on the way, if they don't eat something at this time, they may be unable to support their bodies.

Jiang Chengxiao opened his eyes, cheered up, and ate some brown rice from the station.

While he was eating, he suddenly heard arguing outside.Without his reminding, Shenju immediately turned around and went out to check the situation. After a while, Shenju came back and reported: "My son, Li Lang found them the traffickers, and the two sides are confronting each other."

"Human traffickers?"

Jiang Chengxiao was taken aback for a moment, then got up and walked to the lobby of the post station.

In the lobby, two groups of people are confronting each other, one is the people of the Jinwu Guard, and the other is people dressed in civilian clothes.

"My lord, these people are human traffickers. A brother found out that they had abducted and trafficked women and children." Seeing Jiang Chengxiao appearing, Li Yaoshi immediately explained the situation.

At this time, a middle-aged man walked out of the other party's crowd, and he said in a high voice: "I advise you not to be troublesome, we have not done such mediocre things."

Jiang Chengxiao's eyes were slightly concentrated, and he said, "Let our people go in and search."

Li Yaoshi got Jiang Chengxiao's consent, and immediately waved his hand, Jin Wuwei's people stepped forward, and the opponent's people did not give way to block them.

"I persuaded you. This is the land of Hedong. It's not up to you Guanzhong people to be arrogant." The middle-aged man stared at Jiang Chengxiao. Judging from Jiang Chengxiao's voice, he spoke with a Guanzhong accent. Servant, but well dressed should be a nobleman.

Jiang Chengxiao smiled coldly, is this a threat from local snakes to the nobles of the imperial capital?
"beat!"

He gave the order lightly, he didn't know how much anger he had held back along the way, and he didn't expect that people in this poor place would take him seriously.

As soon as he finished speaking, the members of the Jinwu Guard immediately drew out their horizontal knives and charged forward. The remaining Jinwu Guards were all young nobles who knew how to fist and kick. They usually walk sideways in the imperial capital. These people take it seriously.

The two sides quickly fought into a ball, and the post boy squatted under the table and dared not move.

Jiang Chengxiao said to Shenju: "You take our people to those people's rooms, and be sure to rescue them."

"Yes." Shenju led the ten house slaves past each other and rushed towards the room.

The other party also discovered Jiang Chengxiao's intentions, the middle-aged man punched Li Yaoshi back, rushed towards Jiang Chengxiao, captured the thief first and captured the king first, as long as this powerless nobleman was taken down, these people would not dare to act rashly.

Just when the middle-aged man was only five steps away from Jiang Chengxiao, a black shadow suddenly appeared, followed by a flash of cold light, the middle-aged man flew out with one arm, and he fell to the ground with a scream.

Nanba stood on the ground, holding a horizontal knife, staring at the middle-aged man with serious eyes.
