Chapter 368

Every vassal king has a certain number of soldiers, and King Kangyu's lineage was exceptionally endowed with [-] elite soldiers because the family members were strong when he was granted the title, and he also had the power to control the affairs of the fief.

However, Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian came here in low service this time, so it is naturally impossible to bring a large number of soldiers and horses. Apart from a dozen guards of the Imperial Army, there are dozens of servants in this government office. Are these people surrendering wholeheartedly? Not yet known, unless the identity is revealed.

Thinking of this, Tang Jiheng secretly glanced at Jiang Nian, only to see that His Royal Highness is still motionless.

Jiang Nian looked straight at Tang Jiheng, "Go out and see what medicine is sold in King Kangyu's gourd."

Even a vassal king with real power could not surround the entire magistrate's office out of nowhere. He did not believe that King Kang Yu dared to openly challenge the court at this juncture.

Tang Jiheng walked in the front, while Jiang Nian and Zuo Ming walked out together a few people away.

At this time, dusk fell, and the torches outside the yamen were like dragons, illuminating the whole market like daytime.The soldiers of King Kangyu's mansion surrounded the entire yamen like a tide, and the surrounding people had been cleared.

Tang Jiheng stood on the stone steps outside the yamen, and said coldly: "Is the Kangyu Palace going to be reversed?"

The person leading the army today is a young general named Li Cang, who is slashing his sword at the moment, but he has a bit of momentum, he raised his voice: "I will receive a complaint from a local businessman, saying that someone under the guise of an imperial envoy detained the imperial court. The appointed magistrate even blatantly robbed private property. As a clan member, King Kangyu was ordered to take care of local affairs, so he naturally has the right to take down criminals!"

Tang Jiheng took a step forward, holding an imperial decree, "Absurd! This official came here by imperial order. Li Kun, the prefect of Ningcheng, and others were greedy for ink; Every piece, the evidence is conclusive!"

Li Cang turned a blind eye to the imperial decree in Tang Jiheng's hand, and waved directly: "Take him down!"

Seeing a large number of soldiers approaching with weapons in their hands, the original guards in the yamen threw away their weapons and raised their hands high, "General Li, we were all coerced by this imperial guard, and our lord was also thrown into prison by him. We have nothing to do." I know!"

The corner of Li Cang's mouth curved into a mocking arc, "Those who voluntarily surrender will not be killed."

Now Tang Jiheng only had a few imperial guards standing in front of him. He took a step back and blocked Jiang Nian with his sleeves, and said in a low voice, "His Royal Highness, if there is no firewood left, go first!"

The enemy is numerous and we are few. In this case, it is the best policy for Jiang Nian to retreat first and then deploy troops to support him.He was not procrastinating, and took a deep look at Tang Jiheng, "I have wronged you for a while, don't be head-on, this revenge will be revenged!"

Tang Jiheng turned his head away, grabbed the knife from a policeman closest to him, and rushed towards the direction where the soldiers were coming.

"You rebellious officials and thieves are turning right and wrong into black and white. I will clean up the house for the court now!"

The imperial guards present quickly divided into two parts, one part assisted Tang Jiheng in tying up King Kangyu's men, and the other part protected Jiang Nian and retreated into the yamen, trying to find a weak link to break through.

Unexpectedly, Li Cang's falcon-like gaze firmly locked on the blue figure in the guard's protection, the smile on his lips became colder again, he took the bow and arrow himself, set the bow and drew the string, and aimed at Jiang Nian.

The sound of the strike of the weapon concealed the sound of the feathered arrow piercing the air, but the imperial guards guarding Jiang Nian were not idle, and knocked down the feathered arrow with ease.

Jiang Nian had noticed Li Cang's gaze a long time ago. He failed to make an arrow, so he drew his bow again. At this time, there were three feathered arrows on the string, and Jiang Nian and others had to deal with the soldiers who rushed like flies.

Jiang Nian's eyes deepened, and he immediately pulled out the blunderbuss he carried with him, facing Li Cang across the crowd.

When he saw the small bird gun made of pure steel and iron aimed at him, his hand that drew the string trembled uncontrollably.

Without hesitation, Jiang Nian decisively pulled the trigger.

With a "bang", the bow and arrow in Li Cang's hand fell to the ground, and he himself fell off the horse.

"General Li!"

The guards of Kangyu Palace, who had been encircling him constantly, panicked immediately when they saw that Li Cang was injured.

"Let's go!" Jiang Nian's face was cold, and he fired two shots at the guard in front of him. The main force of the opponent was injured, and he was shot by the power of the bird's gun, causing a mess for a while.

Taking advantage of the turmoil, Jiang Nian and several imperial guards quickly left the Yamen with light kung fu.

Li Cang held his blood donation shoulder and got up with the support of the soldiers. There was no trace of Jiang Nian in front of him. He stared at Tang Jiheng with a gloomy expression, "Bring these people back to the mansion first!"

Tang Jiheng and a few guards around him were the first to bear the brunt. They were already injured and surrounded by people from the Kangyu Palace. He had already given up hope of escaping. He firmly believed that as long as Jiang Nian was safe, these people would be grasshoppers after autumn. Not for long.

Jiang Nian ran away, and they still had other aces in their hands. Don't worry about Jiang Nian not giving in. It's just a pity that they missed this great opportunity!
On the other hand, both Jiang Nian and Zuo Ming used their lightness kung fu to the limit. They didn't dare to relax after running all the way and found no one chasing them.

"Your Highness, shall we go back to the mansion?"

Jiang Nian looked cold and serious, "The previous residence was the house under my name. There must be people from King Kangyu ambushing there. Let's go to the east of the city. I still have a foothold there. Jing Ming has already arranged it."

King Kangyu and the Shi family are not the only ones who know how to trick rabbits and three caves. Jiang Nian is also very far-sighted in this way. After receiving the news of Ning Yuezhao's kidnapping, he first paid out the well tea.

"Before that, I have to rescue Ah Zhao first."

Li Cang dared to kill him directly today, maybe he just had the mentality of gaining something incidental, but it also showed that King Kangyu and Shijia had killed him, so Ning Yuezhao could no longer be left in the hands of these people , he must immediately rescue people.

Zuo Ming also felt that since he already knew who the mastermind behind the scenes was, there would be no benefit for His Majesty to stay there except for more danger.

Ningcheng is destined to be not peaceful tonight. Although there is no curfew, the fight just now at the gate of the yamen shocked the whole city. Now every house has closed their doors and dare not even light the lights. The whole city is like a dead city.

Jiang Nian and Zuo Ming soon arrived at the place where Ning Yuezhao was imprisoned. This is a house with three entrances and three exits. Zuo Ming sent a signal to the imperial guards guarding the dark place outside the house, but no one appeared for a long time. .

what happened?Jiang Nian and Zuo Ming looked at each other, both showing worried expressions.

With a single step of Jiang Nian's foot, he jumped onto the wall and landed lightly.

The layout of the rich families is roughly the same. Jiang Nian first plundered the main courtyard and then the east and west wings, and he found that the west wing had the most guards.

Jiang Nian didn't want to dawdle, so he immediately drew out the soft sword at his waist, and his strike was like lightning.

Before those guards realized what was going on, they had already returned to the west.

With a soft "ding", Jiang Nian split the lock on the door. He kicked the door open, only to see the heavy curtains in the room, and a figure could be vaguely seen on the step in the inner room, and on the step beside the bed. There is also a figure.

"Azhao!"

Jiang Nian suppressed the excitement in his heart, turned his wrist lightly, and neatly split the curtains that were in the way.

The person on the bed was lying with his back facing him, wearing clothes he was familiar with.

He took a few steps to the bed and cut the rope with his sword, but when he turned the person over, the face was still familiar to him, but it didn't feel right!

At the moment when she was in a coma, Jiang Nian raised his hand to poke behind her ear, and he really felt the stitching marks of the human skin mask.

Got it?Jiang Nian immediately put aside the impostor. He looked into the snow goggles beside the bed, and it was someone else who pretended to be.

"Your Highness, someone is coming this way..." Zuo Ming stepped into the room and was stunned when he saw two strange faces whose human skin masks had been removed by Jiang Nian.

Jiang Nian squatted on the ground, his complexion was gloomy, and his hands on his knees tightly clenched the material of the hem of his robe.

Where did Ah Zhao go?Is there anyone behind the oriole?
At this moment, noises outside began to approach the yard.

Although Zuo Ming didn't know why the empress and Xue Jing disappeared, but now was not the time to pursue this, he gave Jiang Nian a hand, "Your Highness, go!"
