Wang Xianrui let out a low roar and seemed to be about to pounce on the green-shirted scholar like a mad tiger. However, as soon as the figure moved, he pounced like the wind on the foggy cliff beside him, and jumped directly towards the canyon below.
Seeing the medical officer's figure suddenly disappearing into the thick fog, the blue-shirted scholar's expression did not change at all. The canyon below was not high. Even if a cultivator was injured, he would definitely not fall to death directly. Moreover, there was also a person in the canyon below.
A colleague whose reputation is slightly inferior to his is waiting.
No matter how fast the falling figure is, it cannot be faster than the flying sword of a practitioner like him.
The thin sword light passed through the thick fog at an astonishing speed and instantly caught up with Wang Xianrui's body.
In the thick fog, Wang Xianrui gritted his teeth and reached out to shoot the flying sword.
He didn't have any weapons in his hands.
There was a soft pop, and the flying sword pierced his palm as easily as it penetrated tofu.
However, when his true energy and blood surged through the runes of this flying sword, the power contained in this flying sword instantly collapsed.
Wang Xianrui let out a howl like a wounded beast and pulled out the flying sword that pierced his palm.
There was a bang.
He fell into the forest.
The figure of the scholar in green shirt was already on the edge of the cliff above, but at this moment, the scholar in green shirt looked extremely pale.
He didn't know what kind of method Wang Xianrui used, but his flying sword suddenly lost contact with him.
There were rapid footsteps in the forest, followed by a roar, followed by the sound of something heavy falling to the ground.
The scholar in green shirt calmed down, pursed his bloodless lips tightly, and floated down like a big bird. In just a few breaths, he reached the place where the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground was heard.
A practitioner wearing a bamboo hat fell to the ground slumped, with a clear fist mark on his chest.
Looking at the scholar in blue shirt who appeared in front of him, the practitioner reluctantly raised his head and tried to force himself to speak, but in the next moment, he spurted out a mouthful of blood with a loud sound, and then passed out.
…
On the official road in the distance, a carriage was continuing its journey north.
Later, some military information reached Chen Jinru in the carriage, including what happened in the mountains of Ningzhou.
Make plans and mobilize all the resources at hand to do things for the master's family. No matter how good the plan is, accidents will always happen. However, in these ten days, there seemed to be too many accidents.
A few days ago, the ambush against this medical officer failed one after another, and it was actually possible that this medical officer had some special cultivation methods, which seemed to be able to render the true energy of ordinary practitioners useless.
The battle that took place today has already confirmed this.
Even the scholar in green shirt could not capture the medical officer, so unless he recalled the two subordinates who were sent elsewhere, it would probably be difficult to mobilize the practitioners from several states.
He was contemplating what to do next and did not let the convoy stop. However, not long after, the convoy stopped, and the green-shirted practitioner who was often summoned by him and would talk to him alone came to the front of the car.
"The matter of Jiange is the prince's business." The practitioner in green shirt bowed to Chen Jinru in the carriage, and then said.
Chen Jinru's breath suddenly stopped, and his brows furrowed deeply, with some disbelief: "Is the news correct?"
The green-robed practitioner nodded and said extremely simply: "That's right."
Chen Jinru fell silent.
This is another biggest surprise.
He had always thought that if even the Chen family couldn't decide on the Jiange matter, it must be because the Xiao family's attitude towards Lin Yi had changed, but he never thought that it was the palace that finally made this happen.
The prince who has always kept a low profile.
The emperor was in his prime, and the prince was too young, so he naturally had no choice but to study with peace of mind. Before that, the prince in the palace was a good student in the eyes of all the nobles.
However, no one doubted the emperor's love for the prince.
Xiao Yan's nepotism is also very reflected in this aspect.
He almost never refused the many requests of his son.
It's just that Chen Jinru thought for a long time that this prince who was born in Liangzhou and came to the imperial city from his home in Liangzhou after three years in Tianjian, not to mention that he had no intersection with Lin Yi, or even with Chen Baoyuan and Xiao Shufei.
Then who is the connection between the prince and Lin Yi?
In the world of the powerful, there will never be anyone who is kind enough to help without any reason. There is only an exchange of benefits.
As for the Jiange matter, what is the prince's plan and what benefits can he get.
In other words, what is the immature prince plotting, who seems to have been completely ignored in recent years?
He thought in silence for a long time, and then asked: "Is there any dissatisfaction from Hong Jin for being unable to bring this medical officer to him for a long time?"
"Your Excellency's character and prestige do not lie in a moment. What he cares more about is gaining a powerful friend here, even if it is just a friend who can only do business." The practitioner in green shirt said, "He is not dissatisfied, and informed
Sir, he will do something recently."
Chen Jinru understood what Hong Jin meant by doing something. He took some time to think about it, and then said: "Don't let the Ministry of War notice about this medical officer, and don't let Lin Yi notice about it.
"
The practitioner in green shirt bowed and retreated.
After finding out that the incident in Jiange was the work of the prince, his view of Lin Yi had completely changed.
Previously, in his opinion, Lin Yi was just a child who wanted some candy and could be beaten at any time. However, now, Lin Yi was an opponent worthy of their attention.
…
But Lin Yi himself didn't know that he had won such praise from important figures in the Chen family.
He followed his own ideas and hurried on in a leisurely manner.
At noon two days later, his fleet finally entered Luoshui City.
Pu Ming and the young practitioner arrived in front of Tie Cejun's military camp and waited for Lin Yi's arrival.
Because he understood the attitude problem that Pu Ming mentioned, this practitioner who was originally relatively gentle and humble was not unhappy at all.
When the motorcade appeared in his sight, he and Pu Ming felt the same feeling at the same time and turned to look at the other side of the military camp.
In an alleyway near the river, a young gray-robed practitioner was slowly walking out.
The practitioner's gaze was as sharp as an eagle, and the hostility in his eyes was undisguised and extremely strong.
"Should we stop him?"
The young practitioner next to Pu Ming slowly raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but ask softly.
Pu Ming shook his head and said: "We are not qualified to stop him, let's wait and see what happens."
Seeing the returning convoy, countless sergeants in the Tiece Army camp cheered.
They didn't know what trouble there was at this time, but they knew that Lin Yi had made great achievements when he went out, and he had also gained the allegiance of a practice place.
