After leaving Yangzhou, Jia Xuan rushed to the capital without stopping.
Counting the time,
It had been less than ten days since he had left the capital.
"Pengju, leave Yangzhou and follow me to the capital. What about your family?”
Jia Xuan asked curiously as they marched.
He remembered that Yue Fei's mother was a strange woman. Before Yue Fei joined the army, she had tattooed on Yue Fei's back: Devoted to serving the country, presumably Yue Fei and his mother's feelings must be very deep, but now that Yue Fei had left Yangzhou and returned to Jingdou with him, his mother-in-law would probably be alone.
"Mother died of an illness a few months after I joined the army.”
Yue Fei was a little sad.
"I'm sorry."
Jia Xuan shook his head and expressed his apology. It seemed that although there were people he knew in this world, there were still many differences.
After that, Jia Xuan did not think too much about it and continued on his way.
The Snowy Dragon Riders took the official road, which was unobstructed. In addition, the Snowy Dragon Riders were very fast, so it only took them a day and a half to arrive at a village far away from the capital. They planned to train there for two hours.
Not long after they stopped,
Yuan Er's expression suddenly changed as he shouted,""Assassins!"
Seven or eight figures flashed across the sky. Each of them had the strength of a first-rate expert. They were very powerful.
The moment these black-robed men appeared, they split into two groups. One group charged towards Jia Xuan, while the other group went to kill Fang Lei and the others in the cage.
"Die!"
The sharp sword pierced through space and headed straight for Jia Xuan's throat.
"Get lost!"
Yue Fei, who was beside Jia Xuan, roared angrily. He jumped up from the horse's back and shattered the black-robed man's sword into pieces with one hand!
Yue Fei was a grandmaster!
His martial arts were very profound.
Kakaka--
The Snowy Dragon Cavalry moved upon hearing this. In just a few breaths, they had taken down all the assassins, leaving three alive.
However, before the three of them could ask anything, they all bit their tongues and committed suicide.
"General, this subordinate has failed in his duty. I forgot that they had poison sacs in their mouths.”Yue Fei knelt down on one knee to apologize.
"No worries."
Jia Xuan laughed loudly and said,"Pengju, your personality is too simple. Wouldn't it be better if you died?" If these people die, whoever I say sent them will be the one who sent them.”
"Ah?"
Yue Fei was dumbfounded. He had been practicing martial arts since he was young and was familiar with military books. He was very good at the art of war, but when it came to the various open and secret struggles in the imperial court, he knew nothing about interpersonal conspiracies.
Therefore, now that Jia Xuan had pointed it out, Yue Fei still did not know what Jia Xuan meant.
"This is a Tartar Assassin, understand?
"Soon, you and I will go to pacify the three continents of Liaodong.”
Jia Xuan smiled slightly." Pengju, just watch carefully.”
Jia Xuan did not explain much. They were not far from the Imperial City now. The old emperor knew everything that happened here. What happened next depended on the cooperation between him and the old emperor.
Though we have never met,
However, Jia Xuan knew that the old emperor was ambitious. After all, he was a ruthless person who refined pills in name but secretly prepared seven large warehouses of gunpowder. Jia Xuan would not believe that the old emperor did not want to take back the three Liaodong continents that had been taken away by the Tartars.
Giving these assassins the title of Tartar Assassins gave the old Emperor a reason to send troops.
Furthermore,
He could also fight for great benefits for himself.
"Yuan Er, look after Fang Lei. Don't let him die.”
"Let's go to the capital and report back to the Imperial Palace.”
Jia Xuan instructed.
Returning to the Imperial Palace to report on his mission naturally meant that he could not bring 3,000 Snowy Dragon Cavalry into the capital, so Jia Xuan transferred 30 people from the Snowy Dragon Cavalry to escort Fang Lei and the others back to the capital. At the same time, he ordered the other Snowy Dragon Cavalry to set up camp outside the capital and wait for orders.
"Heh-"
"If you want to kill me, then watch me turn the world upside down and drag you out.”
Jia Xuan was very vengeful. Although he gave the black-clothed man the title of Tartar Assassin, he did not forget to find the true owner.
If he found out who sent the assassins,
He would definitely take revenge!
......
At the same time.
Imperial Palace, Four Seas Return Hall.
The old emperor wore a majestic dragon robe and sat quietly on the throne. It was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
The officials all stood up. The Grand Preceptor, Minister Qin, Eldest Princess, First Prince, Second Prince, and countless other officials were all silent.
Cheng Shi and Xiao Yuanyi, as new generals, were also among them.
Although the old emperor was old, his dragon's might was still present.
No one dared to underestimate the old emperor's methods.
At this time, the old Emperor had already learned that the gunpowder warehouse had been blown up. He was furious, and no one dared to provoke him, not even the Eldest Princess, who was usually the most favored.
"Urgent report-"
A young eunuch ran into the hall in a panic.""Your Majesty! Bandit General Jia Xuan had won a great victory. He led 3,000 troops and broke through Lin City, killing more than 8,000 bandits. There were no casualties on his side. He captured Fang Lei, Chen Fan, and Liu Xiaxia alive. They were currently waiting outside the palace.”
"Hahahaha!"
The old Emperor's dragon face was overjoyed. He did not expect Jia Xuan to actually obtain a complete victory and be unscathed! Quickly summon my Minister Jia in!"
Hearing this,
Cheng Shi and Xiao Yuanyi's eyes flashed with joy, because this way, they wouldn't have to be widows anymore.
And then,
They exchanged glances and were puzzled.
Why could Jia Xuan kill more than 8,000 people without losing a single soldier?!
Although the bandits did not have excellent armor, they were all existences that licked blood on the edge of their blades. They were extremely murderous. There were more than 8,000 of them. How did Jia Xuan break through Lin City with 3000 people?
Could it be that this uncle of his had been hiding his strength?
Cheng Shi and Xiao Yuanyi saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
As for Minister Qin, the Grand Preceptor, and the others, their expressions remained unchanged, as if everything was under their control.
Immediately after, Jia Xuan went to court, and the gazes of all the civil and military officials gathered.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Jia Xuan bowed." I'm anxious to arrest the thief leader, Fang Lei. I'll wear armor to court. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."”
In the Great Zhou, one did not need to bow three times or nine times to meet the Emperor. One only needed to bow and bow. Jia Xuan had long prepared for these etiquette, so no one could find any fault with it now.
"No worries!"
"Minister Jia is a young and talented person. You have made great contributions to me and pacified my worries. In the future, I will allow you to be matched with a sword in the palace.”
The old Emperor was very happy. Seeing Jia Xuan's young and talented appearance, he also liked him very much. With a wave of his hand, he directly gave Jia Xuan a special privilege.
All the officials 'expressions changed slightly.
They knew in their hearts,
From now on, there would probably be a young genius rising in the imperial court.
3,000 people broke through the city and beheaded 8,000 without any casualties. Such a valiant battle record was enough to prove Jia Xuan's bravery and strategy. Moreover, the old emperor had personally allowed Jia Xuan to be matched with a sword in the future. What kind of honor was this?!
One had to know,
Even the four princes and even the royal princes were not allowed to wear swords in the palace!
