Xiao Yinhan's words made everyone present's expressions change.
General Fu, who was standing at the front, had the most shocked expression.
In addition to some people from Prince Rong's palace, most of the people tied up here were soldiers under his command.
Everyone just planted an unknown poison and lost their minds, but King Rong wanted to kill everyone with just one word.
He felt cold all over his body. Looking at these unconscious soldiers who were tied together, he could hardly hold the knife in his hand.
"Xiao Yin..."
"Your Majesty, don't do this."
The voice that sounded ahead of Bai Muzhi was a female voice as soft as fairy music.
The moment Jiang Tang got off the carriage with her skirt in hand, the bright moon appeared in the sky, and the bright moonlight fell on the girl, adding a bit of mystery to her beauty.
Even the soldiers who were originally shocked and distressed by King Rong's order could not help but be amazed by the woman's beauty at this moment.
Jiang Tang rarely showed up these days, and occasionally wore a veil. In addition, the identity of King Rong was so shocking that the soldiers at the bottom did not have the courage to look at the nobleman's appearance.
It can be said that this time is her first real appearance in front of the public.
But compared to everyone's shock, Xiao Yinhan's brows furrowed the moment he saw Jiang Tang get out of the car.
He walked to the car and wanted to drive the people back into the carriage: "What are you doing down here? Go back!"
Although he is also a murderer, the way he frowns and disciplines his wife at this moment is completely different from when he ordered the murder just now.
"Your Majesty."
Jiang Tang stretched out his hand towards him, with delicate fingers that were as beautiful as the finest mutton-fat white jade in the moonlight.
Xiao Yinhan understood that she wanted to get out of the car, but he was not prepared to agree.
The two were in a stalemate, and she was not in a hurry. She just maintained the same posture and looked at her with a smile. Instead of being reserved and awkward, she was as generous as a queen traveling.
Xiao Yinhan looked at him with cold eyes, and then... amid everyone's nervous and curious eyes, he reached out and hugged her out of the car.
In a daze, Jiang Tang seemed to hear the man gritting his teeth: "I'm afraid of you, ancestor."
Jiang Tang's expression remained unchanged, her cool, watery eyes looked into his, and the gentleness inside seemed to dissipate the bloodthirsty aura surrounding him.
At this moment, everyone could see how much influence this "lady" had on King Rong.
Also watching this scene was Bai Muzhi, who had higher expectations for Jiang Tang than others, hoping that she could change the prince's decision.
But she just wanted to sneer.
She knows better than anyone who Xiao Yinhan is.
This person has always been stubborn, domineering and inhumane since he was a child. For him, he would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go.
In the past, even her good brother Cui couldn't shake him at all, but now...she suddenly wanted to see how powerful this woman was.
Or has he really turned into a coward who will give in?
Bai Muzhi withdrew her stepped foot and stood in a dark corner, watching everything coldly.
"Your Majesty, these soldiers escorted us all the way. They have worked hard without any credit. We should not blame them for the current situation."
Jiang Tang said what General Fu wanted to say but didn't say in his heart. He immediately knelt down and said: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I will definitely keep these people under strict supervision and will not let them do anything again!"
As General Fu finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and the remaining two thousand soldiers knelt down and said in unison: "Please have mercy, Your Majesty!"
For a while, only the people from the palace were left standing there, looking very abrupt and obvious.
They didn't move, even though they also wanted to save their companions, but they knew better than anyone else that the prince was not someone who could plead for mercy.
If you don't ask, you will die; but if you ask, he may order you to kill him with your own hands.
In this way, everyone's expressions were indescribably cold and solemn.
Just as the palace guards thought, when he saw the pleading soldiers, Xiao Yinhan's heart ignited with anger.
He has always been very particular about the execution of orders and prohibitions when leading troops, and will never tolerate intercession.
Leading the soldiers like this to put pressure on the superior, with the intention of emotionally kidnapping, is seeking death for him.
What's more, time is running out now, and no one knows if the people behind the scenes have any backup plans. If they are left behind, who will be responsible for more serious consequences?
Xiao Yinhan didn't speak for a long time, and the silence gradually spread in the camp. The atmosphere was tense and terrifying, making people feel numb.
Bai Muzhi stood there, his eyes shifting from the soldier who was kneeling to plead for mercy to Xiao Yinhan.
His expression was very familiar to her, it was a sign before he became angry.
Xiao Yinhan has always been a heartless person!
"A cold wind took away more than three hundred soldiers. We are still less than a thousand miles away from the Tianshan Mountains. If we kill people every time, when we get to the Tianshan Mountains, will the prince plan to enter the mountains alone?"
The soft and melodious female voice spoke the most provocative words. Even General Fu, who was on the ground resisting the pressure and pleading, felt his heart skip a beat when he heard the words.
No, I didn’t tell him that this lady spoke so fiercely!
Prince Rong... Prince Rong, please don’t make her mad, just chop them together!
After all, he was the God of War in Daliang. Prince Rong's reputation was widely spread among the army, and along with it was his "evil reputation" for killing without blinking an eye, and his "infamous reputation" for daring to quarrel with the emperor and bullying officials.
But no matter which one of them is picked out, it clearly tells everyone that King Rong has a bad temper and is not easy to mess with.
General Fu suddenly felt regretful. Now that he had taken the responsibility on himself, could he save this beautiful lady who spoke uprightly?
Just when General Fu was sweating profusely and thinking about how to speak, the lady's "suicide" didn't stop for a long time:
"If the prince doesn't speak, can I understand that you acquiesce?"
Xiao Yinhan looked at her, his cold face looked a bit fierce from a distance, but up close you could see that his brows were furrowed, as if he was begging his ancestors to say less.
I'm training my subordinates, would you like to go back?
Jiang Tang: Not good.
The two looked at each other and didn't speak for a long time. Jiang Tang was about to continue talking when suddenly a gust of cold wind blew, one hot and one cold, and she couldn't help but sneeze.
Xiao Yinhan's expression changed instantly: "I won't do this next time! I will spare their lives this time. Keep an eye on them and drive them all back to the military camp tomorrow."
Everyone present was overjoyed when they heard this and kowtowed in gratitude. Even the palace guards who were standing also knelt down and saluted.
What responded to them was the man picking up the woman next to him and hurriedly getting into the carriage.
"Great, you don't have to die!"
Someone got excited and shook his tied companion, but accidentally woke him up and started struggling madly again.
He was startled, punched down, and knocked the person unconscious again.
"There is still a lady here, otherwise..."
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Madam!"
…
Jiang Tang was carried into the carriage, but the soldiers' voices of thanks came from outside, and she was stunned for a moment.
She hasn't had time to express what she wants to say, so thank you...
"You just made me angry on purpose, right?"
As soon as Xiao Yinhan got on the carriage, he put the small hand stove that the girl had forgotten on the table into her hand and let her hold it.
There was a rare gloominess on his handsome face, and his eyes were somewhat sad.
Jiang Tang blinked and moved closer: "How could it be? I'm obviously worried about the prince..."
Xiao Yinhan wanted to sneer and express his disbelief, but his hands seemed to have their own consciousness, and he automatically took the person into his arms and found a comfortable position for her to lean on.
"It's not necessarily a good thing for those people to stay..."
He frowned, not feeling relaxed.
Hearing this, Jiang Tang raised his eyes and looked at him...
-
Just leave like this?
So he agreed?
The soldiers gathered the stunned and tied "patients" in one place, leaving the patrolling soldiers to take care of them while the rest went to find a place to bandage their wounds.
For a time, the entire camp was busy and not quiet.
The boy who was not far away from Bai Muzhi turned around and left after the girl was carried into the carriage. She was the only one standing there, with a beautiful face full of shock and disbelief.
In other words, she didn't want to believe that what she had tried so hard to achieve would be accomplished by another woman in the simplest way a few years later.
She didn't want to believe it, but she had to believe it.
Obviously in that dream, the person he fell in love with... was her.
After standing there for an unknown amount of time, Bai Muzhi returned to his carriage in despair at the reminder of the maid.
"Miss, it's so cold. Let's go back to the car. Don't catch a cold..."
-
"...Tangtang knows what the prince is worried about. You are worried that leaving these people behind will bring worse results."
For example, people who were not "sick" in the first place are also infected, and in the end everyone suffers together.
Xiao Yinhan looked into the girl's beautiful eyes, neither confirming nor denying her words.
But this is an answer in itself.
Jiang Tang put his right hand on the man's shoulder and supported himself to slowly get up from his arms.
The beauty under the lamp is as beautiful as jade, and her voice seems to be bewitching: "I do have a way, would you like to give it a try, Your Majesty?"
Xiao Yinhan said nothing. Looking at the beautiful girl in front of him, his Adam's apple moved slightly and his eyes darkened...
-
It was getting light the next day, just as General Fu was preparing to take the sick "patients" back to the military camp to see a military doctor according to King Rong's instructions last night.
But unexpectedly, I discovered that all those guys who went crazy and lost their minds last night and lost their minds towards their companions have actually changed for the better!
When the soldiers came to report the news, he thought it was a joke.
Until I saw with my own eyes that the person was fine.
He was surprised but also full of confusion: "How come it's fine? But what antidote did you take last night?"
The soldier in charge of guarding shook his head: "No. I don't know what kind of poison is in everyone. No one dares to give them random medicine."
"That's strange. Could it be that the poison only acts at night and is fine during the day?" General Fu frowned and muttered to himself.
If this is the case, I'm afraid it will be even more troublesome.
If you meet someone who doesn't know anything, see that they are fine during the day and relax your vigilance.
At night, everyone "gets sick" together again...
Just thinking about it makes my scalp numb.
"you……"
"No! Have you eaten anything else?"
The soldier suddenly spoke, attracting General Fu's attention: "What have you eaten?"
"But it's nothing special."
The soldier rubbed his forehead: "In the middle of the night, King Rong suddenly asked someone to bring two buckets of water. He said that since these people were not dead yet, they should give them some water first, and then we fed them according to his instructions...
"
Because it was just ordinary water and nothing special, I didn't think of it at first.
However, Xiao Bing's words also made General Fu feel slightly calm. He actually thought of letting these people drink water. The prince is not really that cruel.
Thinking of this, General Fu, who originally had only respect and fear for King Rong, felt a little more grateful and moved in his heart.
But before he could find out what was special about the water, King Rong’s order came again——
He asked him to send someone to take the "patient" back to a nearby town to find a doctor for treatment. Before that, he must be closely guarded every day, and he could only be released after seven days of not getting sick again.
All related expenses will be borne by Prince Rong’s Mansion.
This order was like a timely gift, and General Fu's original fear of the prince going back on his word completely dropped.
He had to send someone to supervise him, let alone find a doctor, and the expenses would all be borne by King Rong.
After this incident spread, the soldiers' deep fear of King Rong because of last night completely changed.
In addition, the "careful person" secretly explained that the prince's order to "kill people" was a last resort because he was afraid that other people would also be infected. In essence, it was for the sake of the majority of people.
When King Rong appeared in front of the soldiers again, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at him.
But these are all things for later.
The suggestion to be responsible for the expenses of the wounded was made by Jiang Tang, and Xiao Yinhan had no objections.
Spending a small amount of money can win over people's hearts, which is a good deal for Jiang Tang.
When she heard [Reputation Value] ringing in her mind, her smile became a little more sincere.
But this smile was also very short-lived.
The dog system disappeared at the critical moment as always. If she hadn't wanted to take a gamble, risk everything and finally succeeded... the result would be unimaginable.
"not see!"
A voice begging for permission rang out from outside the carriage again, and Xiao Yinhan's deep voice contained a hint of gloom and impatience.
It was General Fu before, but this time it was Bai Muzhi. Everyone wanted to know how the soldiers "recovered".
But Jiang Tang knew that with this person's character, he would never say it out loud.
"Will the prince be angry with me?"
When Jiang Tang spoke, he lowered his head and his eyes fell on the man's wrist wrapped with bandages. There was a look of love in his eyes that he was not even aware of.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
The man who was a little impatient finally raised his head when he heard her low voice.
Xiao Yinhan used his other uninjured hand to lift up the girl's delicate and picturesque face. Looking at her face that had lost its smile, he curled up the corners of his mouth and showed a gentle but ruthless smile:
"As I said, as long as Tangtang opens his mouth, I can give you my life, let alone just a few drops of blood?"
Jiang Tang looked at him and didn't take the initiative to avoid it for the first time.
That's right, where did the "spiritual medicine" and "antidote" come from? It was just that she used Xiao Yinhan's blood to gamble.
She bet that the methods used by the concubine were her "family origins", and the only relevant person here was Xiao Yinhan, who was from the same clan as her and inherited half of Concubine Yu's bloodline...
