Chapter 186 Hunting Moment 1
Chapter 186 Hunting Moment 1
The young couple spent a passionate night together before parting ways.
The next morning, Xiao Yuan disguised himself and quietly left Yonghe County with several trusted guards.
Little Bean watched the eunuch's departing figure with great reluctance, feeling heartbroken and inwardly blaming the lady for her lack of self-control.
The Grand Eunuch has been busy in bed for most of the night, and now he has to travel so early. How tiring it must be for him! His wife really doesn't know how to be considerate.
Jiang Xinyu inadvertently caught a glimpse of Xiaodouzi's resentful gaze and misunderstood. She patted his shoulder to comfort him.
"Chen Jiu needs your guidance here, so I really can't take you with me. Don't look at me like I'm stopping you from serving me in bed, okay?"
Please get your bearings right; you look more like a complaining woman than I do right now.
Give up, my husband is straight.
"Madam, please stop using your supernatural powers. This servant cannot bear the responsibility."
Little Bean was almost in tears, "If our Master hears this, I'll never live again!"
Jiang Xinyu snorted coldly, "So what? You don't dare to provoke him and you don't take me seriously, right, Aunt Dou?"
God the hell out there, Aunt Bean!
Little Bean broke out in a cold sweat, and now he really wanted to ride his horse to catch up with his master and go back to the capital with him.
He felt like he'd fallen into the hands of a stepmother.
It turns out that he usually sees through his wife's little complaints but just ignores them. Now that the supervisor is not here, he is planning to deal with him.
The thought of the terrifying little bean made my head itch, and I felt a slight pain in my brain.
Jiang Xinyu was just trying to scare him. Seeing his expression change, she scoffed and turned to leave.
People have varying degrees of closeness and distance. When Chunxing saw the red marks on her body, didn't she also grumble a few words about Xiao Yuan?
Xiao Douzi is completely loyal to Xiao Yuan, so it's not unforgivable that she might have some ulterior motives.
Having narrowly escaped disaster, Eunuch Dou wiped the sweat from his brow and regretted his actions, realizing he had underestimated his wife.
He is truly bold and unrestrained, but he can also be incredibly meticulous at times. It seems he'll have to be more careful with his gaze in the future.
After practicing for most of the night, Chen Jiu is starting to look good; at least his walking and sitting postures while drinking tea are quite similar.
The bodyguard's perpetually stern and cold demeanor matched the legendary King Yama Xiao, and he could fool anyone who wasn't particularly close to him.
For example, the old magistrate of Yonghe County didn't realize at all that there was any difference between yesterday's imperial envoy and today's imperial envoy.
Jiang Xinyu changed into men's clothing and accompanied Chen Jiu with Xiao Douzi.
Before meeting anyone, Xiaodouzi would usually recount the process. When it came to making decisions and arranging disaster relief, Jiang Xinyu was in charge.
Beyond Yonghe County are Qingyuan and Qingping. Xiao Yuan had already made arrangements yesterday so that even if the two places needed help, there would be no need for a long journey.
We absolutely cannot divide our troops before the garrison in Hexi arrives; even if the garrison arrives, we must send other people instead.
Jiang Xinyu and others used the pretext of disaster relief to familiarize themselves with the terrain nearby, planning to wait in comfort for Zhang Zhongyi's men to engage in a protracted war.
However, after wandering to the river embankment, Jiang Xinyu's expression turned very bad. She suddenly remembered Guan Yu's flooding of the seven armies.
Zhang Zhongyi's desire to kill Xiao Yuan was so strong that he even used his secret weapon, the living corpse, so the deaths of tens of thousands of people should not be a concern for him.
His orders were probably that no price was too high to pay in order to eliminate Xiao Yuan, and the assassins, eager to complete their mission, might destroy the dam and flood the entire Yonghe County.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xinyu immediately ordered Xiaodouzi to gather the men, leaving half of the troops and most of the rations behind, while the rest left Yonghe County immediately.
The order was inexplicable and illogical, and people were discussing it.
Chen Jiu didn't understand either, but since the supervisor had instructed him to obey his wife's orders, he could only give commands with a cold face.
Jiang Xinyu has been studying maps every day these days and has managed to get a general idea of what they look like.
Further along from Yonghe County, the area is quite remote from the river. Although the mountains and forests are relatively dangerous, it is still better than endangering the entire town.
Zhang Zhongyi's number of assassins is unlikely to be large; he will most likely use readily available resources like zombies to deal with them.
The first time, we caught them off guard.
But since this isn't a zombie and can be attracted by sound, its danger has been greatly reduced.
The sudden departure of Xiao Yuan's team was unexpected by everyone. The spies hidden in the city were frustrated and canceled their plans after discovering that the team had indeed left.
They had prepared a large amount of fireworks and firecrackers to blow up the river embankment under cover of night, but they did not expect the other party to be so vigilant and escape.
Could it be that our side leaked the news?
The man frowned deeply as he thought about the martial arts figures who had been making contact with them one after another, not understanding why the Prime Minister had sent those unreliable people over.
Unfortunately, the Prime Minister's orders were beyond my control, and since he was gone, the plan had to be cancelled.
Actually, this is for the best. After all, they are just ordinary people, and they don't want to go to extremes unless absolutely necessary.
Jiang Xinyu had assumed that if the other party's plan failed, they would devise a new interception route.
Unexpectedly, the other party couldn't wait any longer and actually chased after them head-on.
Watching the dozens of men in black gallop into the group, Jiang Xinyu felt that Zhang Zhongyi's money was wasted.
Is this a case of hiring a bunch of idiots?
Is it for real that someone dressed in all black would come to ambush and kill the imperial envoy in broad daylight?
She'll have to open both skulls in a bit to see if these people actually have brains.
This proves that these people do have brains, but they are even bolder than brains.
The reason they dared to storm into the group and commit violence in broad daylight was because they were confident in their skills. Unfortunately, that confidence vanished when they encountered Jiang Xinyu.
With the combat strength of the man in black, he could probably kill twenty or thirty ordinary soldiers by himself, and he could also take down five or six of the Eastern Depot agents.
If we categorize them according to combat power systems...
Ordinary soldiers had ten, Eastern Depot agents could reach twenty to thirty, and even the worst of these men in black had over a hundred, with the best reaching two hundred.
Jiang Xinyu's is similar, just one digit more, conservatively estimated at a little over a thousand.
If it weren't for Jiang Xinyu, these dozens of men in black would have been enough to wipe out the entire group.
It's a pity they encountered players who spend money on in-game purchases.
Jiang Xinyu has almost finished eating Xiao Yuan's box of century-old ginseng worth 20 taels of silver. The newly recharged wife of the Grand Eunuch is simply terrifyingly strong.
At first, when those people rushed over, the Eastern Depot agents were determined to die and desperately charged forward.
After discovering that their chief eunuch's wife could kill one child with a single slash, not only were the men in black stunned, but they were also dumbfounded, and then they witnessed a one-sided massacre.
High-end ingredients are often prepared using the simplest cooking methods, and even a duel between experts doesn't require too many fancy moves.
Besides, Jiang Xinyu wouldn't know how either; she simply pushed her strength and speed to the extreme in a simple and unpretentious way.
Killing someone is as simple as wielding a knife and severing the head and body; as long as you have enough strength and speed, it's incredibly easy.
The men in black who were killed at the beginning were fortunate, because they were hacked to death.
The blade grazed my neck with a cool swirl and I felt nothing, unlike the brothers behind me who were in so much pain.
Jiang Xinyu didn't do it on purpose; it wasn't that she wasn't capable, it was just that the knife was too ineffective.
Although she was cutting along the cervical vertebrae, she inevitably made mistakes. After chopping off more than a dozen heads, the knife chipped and was later referred to as a saw.
