"The Taiping Road opens wide and sweeps the couch to greet you... What do you think, Lord Fu?"

On the march, Ge Wanshan looked solemn and looked at Duan Yuanming, who was riding alongside him.

"After so many years, which official in the DPRK has not been instigated by Taiping Dao to rebel?"

Duan Yuanming looked indifferent, "But how many people have you seen really defected?"

"However, after all, Jiang Zhihong served as the censor of Zuodu. He has offended all the ministers in the court over the years. He retired from office at the end of his life and did not seek refuge in Taiping Road... Is there any way for him to survive?"

Ge Wanshan bravely said something.

"Indeed, Yushi Jiang has offended many people, but he is not a fool."

Duan Yuanming glanced at Ge Wanshan, "When you are in power, you are powerful. If you want to defect, there are many opportunities. Why choose it on the way to retire and return to your hometown? Not only will you lose your reputation, but you will also be imprisoned if you fail to defect."<

/p>

"Well, that's true."

Ge Wanshan pondered for a moment, then frowned: "So... this is just Taiping Dao's alienation strategy? Then if we arrest people, wouldn't we be playing into Taiping Dao's intentions?"

"A estrangement is indeed a estrangement, but if we don't do anything, Taiping Dao can just kidnap the person and pick up a martial slave who is above Tongmai for free, why not do it?"

Having said this, Duan Yuanming paused and said meaningfully: "Even if they can't control Yushi Jiang, they can still kill people directly and fall on Prime Minister Lou's head."

"This..."

Ge Wanshan's face was shocked. After circling for a long time, he finally figured it out.

No wonder Lou Xiang ordered that Jiang Yushi must be captured alive. It wasn't that Lou Xiang really believed that Jiang Yushi was rebellious, and it wasn't that Lou Xiang wanted to kill Jiang Yushi. On the contrary, to a certain extent, this was an attack on Jiang Yushi.

kind of protection.

Thinking of the grudge between Jiang Yushi and Lou Xiang, Ge Wanshan didn't know what to say.

No more words were said along the way.

Half a day later, the army intercepted the target of the operation from a distance on the official road.

An old servant was driving an ox cart, with an old Confucian and several large boxes on the cart.

It's that simple.

"Sure enough, I still came."

Jiang Zhihong got off the bullock cart, with his back straight and a look of disdain on his face: "Why, I have already resigned, and you are still so afraid of the traitor?"

As soon as he got out of the car, the old servant quickly drove the ox cart to the side of the official road and crawled behind the cart, trembling all over.

"I have no way of knowing the Prime Minister Lou's thoughts."

Duan Yuanming spoke loudly, took out an imperial edict and unfolded it, "The sinner Jiang Zhihong receives the edict."

"No need."

Jiang Zhihong waved his hand and sneered: "Your Majesty has not been involved in political affairs for many years. Drafting, approving, and printing are all in the hands of a traitor. Do you want me to kneel down to him?"

"Wishful thinking!"

"Don't say any more, I will never leave with you."

"Either kill me here and use my blood to let the world and your majesty see clearly the true nature of the traitor."

"Either, get out of the way and don't block me from getting home."

Jiang Zhihong was neither humble nor arrogant. Facing thousands of dazzling swords, guns and crossbows, he stood there defenseless.

However, Duan Yuanming suddenly smiled: "You really thought wrong this time."

"What?"

Jiang Zhihong looked confused.

"Jiang Ergou, I will capture you honestly without any hesitation. Don't force me to come personally."

Duan Yuanming did not wait for Jiang Zhihong to kneel down, and just followed the imperial edict and finished reading it in a calm tone.

Yes, finished reading.

This imperial edict only contains one simple sentence.

However.

Just such a simple sentence made Jiang Zhihong suddenly freeze and stand on the spot.

"Your Majesty...this is your Majesty's tone..."

Jiang Zhihong murmured to himself, his eyes instantly turned red, and he no longer doubted the origin of the imperial edict.

No matter how bold the traitor is, he would never dare to imitate His Majesty’s tone when formulating an edict.

Immediately afterwards, his face turned gray.

So...

Your Majesty knew this clearly, but still chose the latter between him and the traitor...

"Hahahahahaha..."

Jiang Zhihong looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, with tears streaming down his face.

The originally straight back curved little by little, and he faced thousands of troops and slowly bowed down.

"The sinner Jiang Zhihong..."

"Accept the decree!!!"

The decades of pride and grievances all turned into roars and dissipated in the wind.

Duan Yuanming and Ge Wanshan looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Thousands of troops are fully armed, and it is not a problem to kill one Jiang Zhihong.

But the order they received was to capture him alive. If Jiang Zhihong refused to cooperate, they really didn't know what to do.

"On the yoke."

Ge Wanshan waved his hand.

Two captains rushed out of the blood-clad team, carrying heavy special shackles.

Only when Jiang Zhihong was put into chains without any resistance did Ge Wanshan completely relax.

"As long as the yoke of the forbidden law is there, it will be useless even if he regrets it."

Ge Wanshan smiled and said with a cheerful expression, "Now we are waiting for Taiping Dao to show up. With such a large contribution, it must be someone who is not an ordinary character."

Although he said this, his tone was obviously confident.

This is no different from the last confrontation with Taiping Road, where the troops had to disperse to the edge of Zhanghua Mansion to set up cordons.

If the purpose of a military formation of thousands of people is only to protect one person, even if the person coming from Taipingdao is a being above Tongmai, they will only be defeated.

However, Duan Yuanming suddenly shook his head, "I guess no one will come to Taiping Road at all."

"Huh?"

Ge Wanshan frowned, remembering the astonishing number marked on the arrest warrant, "If no one comes, then the reward and difficulty of this mission will not be equal at all..."

"No, no, it may be equal."

Duan Yuanming chuckled, "Don't forget, the arrest warrant allows us to be detained on the spot. I guess most of those massive contributions are here."

"Detention on the spot?"

Ge Wanshan is still puzzled, "The black prison is hidden deep underground, surrounded by more than a thousand warriors. Taiping Dao will not be stupid enough to attack, and the detention is not difficult. Is it worth so much contribution?"

"Whether it's worth it or not, you'll know just by looking at it?"

Duan Yuanming pursed his lips in one direction.

Ge Wanshan looked over.

That's the direction of the prison van.

The shackled Jiang Zhihong was like a piece of wood, staggering onto the prison car.

Obviously he has a death wish.

"..."

Ge Wanshan's mood plummeted into the abyss.

It turns out that this is the real order of Prime Minister Lou!

Duan Yuanming had already guessed it.

This mission is not to confront Taiping Dao at all, because no one will come from Taiping Dao.

It's not just an arrest. With that holy decree, Jiang Zhihong is destined to be captured without any help.

The real order is to detain Jiang Zhihong and ensure that Jiang Zhihong survives!

What the hell...
