[Thirty-one] The whole story

He shouted loudly, and thousands of people rushed over from the dark corners of the streets and alleys, all of whom were fierce and evil, holding sharp blades in his hands, surrounding the man who was as arrogant as a pine-like man sitting on the horse.

"Second brother, since you guessed what the orphan was going to do, why did you still fall into the trap and force yourself into a dead end?" Ning Nankun said sarcastically.

Ning Nanyou looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but sneer: "Mingyuan... You are indeed the person who looks the most like your father. You are not as alert and intelligent as him. Since I dare to appear here, won't I leave a way out for myself?"

The confident smile on the corner of his lips made Ning Nankun in the group feel a little panicked: "Even if you have a way out, can you still escape the military defenses arranged around Yuanshi County? Outside the city, there are all lonely people!"

After saying that, Ning Nankun shouted to the soldiers surrounding him: "You guys, whoever can cut off Ning Nanyou's head tonight will be promised to him with his lifelong glory!"

A group of fierce and vicious men suddenly became full of fighting spirit and shouted loudly: "We will never let the king down!!"

Ning Nanyou held his head high and suddenly burst into laughter. The smooth and thick sound line sounded: "Ning Mingyuan, I remind you that it has reached this point... At least you look up and see how you make a conclusion around you. How could you be so hasty... and say you want to take my life?"

His sarcastic laughter made Ning Nankun look up in a hurry, and saw that the eaves and green walls around him were already surrounded by archers, facing them, waiting for Ning Nanyou to order at any time.

"What's going on? Didn't you say that the thousands of troops he brought with him have been solved by you?" Ning Nankun was shocked and roared at his personal soldiers.

The leader, who was in charge of the leadership, stepped back with his sword at a loss, and said stammeringly: "Subordinate, he is indeed watching the people below execute the execution with his own eyes. They should have died long ago... How could it be?"

Ning Nankun was furious and instantly realized that everything in the city was already under Ning Nanyou's control, and what he saw and heard was just an illusion. He didn't know when he was exposed, and he didn't understand why his comprehensive arrangement seemed so ridiculous and funny in Ning Nanyou?

The deep sense of frustration made Ning Nankun roar in anger, and then he drew his sword and rushed forward: "I will die with you tonight!"

The sound of fighting spread among the crowd instantly. Ning Nanyou saw the opportunity and reached out and gently made a move towards the green wall of the eaves.

In an instant, thousands of arrows were fired at once. Feather arrows flew out quickly along the bowstrings, and a wail came from the crowd. Ning Nankun immediately held his sword and slashed at the sharp arrows flying towards him, extremely embarrassed and helpless.

Seeing the situation urgent, Ning Nankun didn't care about hiding the backhand he left behind, and immediately roared to the sky: "What are you still hiding! Have you forgotten your agreement with Gu? Tonight, if Gu dies! Neither the Regent nor your lord will let you go!"

The roar startled a group of birds resting on the branches. They flew away in horror and did not dare to stay here for a long time.

Immediately afterwards, a sensation came faintly on the ground, as if a large army was approaching. Soon, Jiang Chengjia saw Xianbei soldiers gushing out from the corners of the county town, almost completely submerging the street in front of the prefect's mansion.

The scene was once chaotic. Jiang Chengjia fought hard and finally retreated from the crowd and hid in an inconspicuous corner. She clenched her fists and trembled, enduring the discomfort of her sick body, and was preparing to secretly help Ning Nanyou. So she raised her eyes and looked at the young man on the dark horse, but saw that his originally confident expression had inexplicably sunk. At the moment when the Xianbei soldiers came out, his eyes seemed to burst into flames, and the slightly raised corners of his lips pressed down.

Suddenly, the young man jumped down from the horse's back, and his slender arm wrapped around the reins. His figure shook around in front of the Xianbei soldiers who were sieging up like lightning. Finally, he sat steadily again, repelled and turned his direction and drove his horse towards the direction where the Xianbei soldiers rushed out.

And the place where he had just passed, dozens of soldiers fell down in an instant, all of whom were cut off their throats.

Jiang Chengjia was so shocked that she stepped backwards. Looking at the corpse that fell to the ground, her chest jumped up wildly. Ning Nanyou seemed to be particularly violent and cruel tonight.

Why?

A hint of doubt arose in her heart. It was not that she had seen Ning Nanyou kill people, but that the husband, who was as deeply resentful and solemn as today, made her unfamiliar and scared.

Jiang Chengjia lowered his head and turned his eyes, clenched his fists, and a trace of guess arose in his heart: Could it be that these Xianbei people tonight have other connections with Ning Nanyou?

She had this idea in her mind, and wanted to understand the truth more and more, so she quietly retreated from the battlefield on this long street.

The sound of fighting almost ran through the entire Yuanshi County. This night, this city was destined to be uneasy.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the corner, Jiang Chengjia took off his Wei army uniform and groped in the direction of Ning Nanyou to escape. She pursued her all the way, but met a guard who was rushing to the long street on the corner of the street. A group of strong men immediately raised their blue dragon swords and attacked her. Jiang Chengjia fought hard and saw the leader clearly with the faint moonlight.

"Zhen Qun! It's me!" In order to save his life, Jiang Chengjia no longer cared about covering up his identity. In front of everyone in the face of the elite guards, he tore off the disguise on his face and revealed his true face.

The general in charge hurriedly stopped and scolded the soldiers who were sieging forward and said, "Stop!"

The spirit guards who were about to fight with Jiang Chengjia heard the roar and quickly stopped and put away the Qinglong Sword.

Zhen Qun stepped forward two steps, bowed to the girl and said, "Princess? How did you get here?!"

The young young man looked surprised. Seeing Jiang Chengjia suddenly appear here, his eyes were full of shock.

Jiang Chengjia ignored his inquiry, but grabbed his iron armored sleeves and stared at him with a serious expression, "I have something to ask you!"

Zhen Qun was stunned. Under the faint light from the sky, he saw the urgent desire and anxiety in the girl's eyes. The little man sinks silently, turns his eyes, and then instructs the guard behind him: "The lord is fighting in the long street, so I will go to support you quickly. I will say a few words to the princess and then rushed over immediately."

I heard a group of strong men behind me respond without hesitation, and ran out of the alley like a sharp sword unsheathed.

In such a dim street corner, Jiang Chengjia and Zhen Qun stood face to face, and the atmosphere became cold for a moment.

"Zhen Qun, tell me honestly. What is the reason for the trapped king in Taihang Mountain and the scene of Yuanshi County in Changshan tonight?" The girl stared at the young man in front of her, eager to read some useful information from his expression.

Zhen Qun wanted to speak but stopped, frowned and fell into silence.

Seeing that he was unwilling to answer, Jiang Chengjia took a deep breath and said, "Okay. If you don't want to say it, then I'll ask."

"The reason why he knew that going to war was a conspiracy between the emperor and the regent and his son was because the news was deliberately revealed to him by King Ning Nankun of De, right?"

Zhen Qun's eyes showed a look of surprise, his eyes flashed twice, and he nodded silently to the girl and said, "Yes."

Jiang Chengjia's atrium trembled, enduring the desolation and shame, and continued to ask: "So... the reason why the king would seek help from Qingtan in Cheng is also related to Ning Nankun?"

Zhen Qun did not speak out, but nodded again to answer.

For a moment, the girl felt great suffocation, and her chest and abdomen started to hurt. She took a deep breath, her ankles suddenly became sore and soft. She took a few steps backwards, almost unable to stand firm.

Zhen Qun hurried forward and reached out to support her.

Jiang Chengjia grabbed his armor with a weak breath and said, "Tell me everything, tell me... Zhen Qun!!"

The young man stared at her, but he could not resist the girl's begging. He closed his eyes and sighed, and said softly: "King De wanted to use His Majesty and the Regent's plan to kill the King Ming and His Highness in this march to fight against the thieves. In this way, he could clear all obstacles and get the position of Prince of Huai. In order to carry out the plan smoothly, King De deliberately revealed the news to His Highness, hoping to use His Highness to kill Ning Nanqing.

The trap of Taihang Mountain on that day... His Highness had almost no life to come out. It was not that he refused to ask for help from the Jiang Mansion or the Shui Pavilion in the capital... but someone told him that in addition to wanting to get rid of him, the emperor also planned to capture the Jiang family in one fell swoop after the Taihang Mountain incident was successful.

The person who revealed the news told us that as long as Your Highness asks Jiang Mansion for help, the emperor will immediately deal with Jiang's family for the crime of colluding with the enemy and treason. You and Jiangzhushi will undoubtedly die, and will also implicate hundreds of people from the Water Pavilion who are planning to do things in the capital. Your Highness is afraid that because he really implicates Jiang's family, he will not dare to report to you.

Now the prince is in charge of the country and the East Palace is in charge of power. His Highness thought at the time that the prince would look at Gu Cheng's family at least, and he thought that there would be no problem. He would ask Mrs. Qingtan for help if he had no choice. As for why Mrs. Qingtan was humiliated in the mountains later, Your Highness, Your Highness, you have no idea.

When Mrs. Qingtan led her troops to arrive, she only focused on protecting His Highness from leaving. When she arrived at the exit of the canyon, she walked with us in a separate way and led her troops back along the way she came. At that time, His Highness and his brothers were covered in wounds and could not care about how Mrs. Qingtan left Taihang Mountain. We hurriedly hid in the village below the mountain to recuperate, so as to avoid the pursuit, and then escaped from death and survived this disaster.
