Chapter 184 I Want to Return to Chongzhou
Hu Yan jumped off his horse, and the men in black armor and holding shields surrounded the prince tightly.
He picked up the hairband and stuffed it into his friend's hand, his tone annoyed but also a bit disappointing.
"You knew that An An would be fine, why didn't you get out of the way!"
Jiang Jichen released his right hand that was supporting the sword and pulled out the short arrow that was already embedded shallowly in his flesh.
The arrow was poisonous, and his thin lips were faintly blue.
The blood-stained hands took out the scattered Buddhist beads from the arms. The Bodhi was stained red, and one of the beads was broken into pieces.
Jiang Jichen smiled, leaning weakly on Hu Yan and whispered, "I didn't have time to react..."
"Fortunately, An's Bodhi seeds..."
"Jiang Jichen?"
Hu Yan didn't get a response, but the breath spraying on his neck made him feel a little relieved.
The old fox glanced at the dark bloodstain on the prince's chest and ordered someone to pick up the short arrow.
He said to the light cavalry general in a cold voice: "Don't let any of them escape, kill them on the spot!"
"Xie Yunshan, escort the prince back to the city!"
General Xie wiped the warmth off his face and said, "Okay."
When leaving, Hu Yan stripped Jiang Jichen of his outer robe and replaced him with a set of black armor. If people knew that the prince was injured, the three states in the north would probably cause trouble again...
Back home, fortunately there was a skilled doctor there.
He identified the source of the poison on the short arrow and prepared pills to suppress the onset of the poison in a very short time.
After noon, Jiang Jichen had nothing to do.
When leaving, the palace doctor said with a hint of relief: "Fortunately, the Buddhist beads blocked it. If the arrow had gone in an inch further, the prince would not have made it back home..."
……
Xie Yunshan, who had relaxed, leaned back on the couch, looking at Hu Yan with his bright eyes.
He went to save the prince because he was bored in the morning and went to have a drink with the city defense general who was on leave, and he saw the guard who came to report; what about the old fox?
"How do you know the prince was assassinated?"
Hu Yan rubbed his painful forehead and said casually, "I'm smart."
Xie Yunshan: Hehe…
He asked again: "You actually know martial arts?"
Hu Yan opened his fox eyes and said helplessly, "I can't do that."
He's very sincere, he really wouldn't.
Xie Yunshan didn't believe it, and gestured the action of Xie Yunshan drawing the bow at that time, "Then you still... swoosh..."
Hu Yan: "General Xie, don't you know that one of the six arts of a gentleman is horseback archery?"
"I am smart and I learn well."
I am smart...
It really hurts…it really does.
Xie Yunshan took a deep breath, strode out the door, and cursed in his heart: Go to hell with your cleverness!
It was not until he walked a long way out that General Xie in the corridor realized that something was wrong...
Although it is true that these are the six arts of a gentleman, students from ordinary families have very few opportunities to come into contact with bows and arrows, and horses. Even in school, there are only a few such opportunities.
In this barren northern land, even a wealthy family like Li Xingsang rarely encountered bows and crossbows before coming to the palace to practice martial arts.
No matter how smart Hu Yan is, he can't learn it out of thin air!
Xie Yunshan stopped suddenly, and Yun Yi, who was following him with his head down, almost bumped into his young master.
He touched the surviving nose tip and said, "Sir, we are not leaving..."
Xie Yunshan: "You lied to me again!"
Yun Yi (confused): What?
The main courtyard of the palace,
Hu Yan saw Butler Sun coming in and asked, "How is Guan Yan?"
The housekeeper's eyes were red. He first glanced at Jiang Jichen who was still asleep on the bed, then replied softly: "The palace doctor said that he lost too much blood and won't wake up in a short time."
"Fortunately, there is no bone damage in the shoulder blade. It will heal after some rest."
Hu Yan nodded, thought for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Is An An coming back soon?"
Steward Sun: "The young master just sent a letter back yesterday, and will leave from Junzhou in ten days."
If Jiang Jiu was suddenly transferred back from the little girl, not to mention whether she would find anything unusual, Dong Li would also have to be on guard...
The eldest princess is a crazy woman.
Hu Yan was worried that if he rashly transferred Jiang Jiu back, she would target An An.
Tenth day...
"Before An An returns home, order the palace guards to intensify patrols. I will also transfer some of the secret team back to guard the palace."
Steward Sun folded his hands in front of him, his cloudy eyes flashed fiercely, "Military Advisor, rest assured, I will give the order right away."
Hu Yan stood up and took another look at the man with his eyes closed on the bed.
"Steward, don't worry too much. There are soldiers stationed in the city, and those assassins dare not be too rampant."
"There are still matters to be dealt with in the army, so it is inconvenient for me to stay in the city for long..."
"If you have anything to do, just tell General Xie to do it."
The old fox's last words were to tell Butler Sun that the prince could trust Xie Yunshan and there was no need to avoid him in everything.
"I understand..."
In Junzhou Camp,
The hawk landed on Jiang Jiu's shoulder. He opened the letter and read it with a frown.
Those wooden eyes flashed with confusion, and he whispered something, as if warning himself, "Without the order, do not act rashly..."
"there is nothing?"
The little girl who suddenly appeared blinked her big eyes, holding roasted lamb skewered on willow wood in her hands.
Jiang Jiu's body stiffened and he looked up to meet the gazes of Jiang An and the other three teenagers.
Is his vigilance so low?
The secret guard doubted himself.
The sight was like a torch, making the secret guards who were used to hiding feel extremely uncomfortable.
As for how Jiang An found out that Jiang Jiu had been following him, it all started from the night when Jiang Si went to fight him and knocked down the tent where he was sleeping...
Jiang Jiu pursed his lips under the scarf, not knowing what to say for a moment...
The hawk on my shoulder seemed to sense the awkward atmosphere and spread its wings and flew away.
Jiang An chewed the meat in big mouthfuls, staring at it with wide eyes.
"Why hasn't An An seen it?"
The little girl has a very special skill. Even though these goshawks all look similar, she can still accurately distinguish each one and give them nicknames!
Facing Jiang An's clear eyes, Jiang Jiu suddenly wanted to run away...
Jiang An stopped chewing and his thin eyebrows were twisted together. Was he hiding something from An An?
Originally, the little girl just came to bring him some skewers of meat.
She stretched out her greasy hand and stared at the paper Jiang Jiu hid behind him, "An An wants to see it!"
It's not a silly question...
Jiang Si frowned, but did not cross the line.
He just looked at Jiang Jiu and asked what happened.
It's a pity that there is no tacit understanding between them...
Jiang Si: What happened? Is it inconvenient to let the master know?
Jiang Jiu: Do you want to give it to me? Do you really want to give it to me?
Finally, the thin piece of paper appeared in the little girl's fat hand.
Jiang Jiu explained in a calm voice, "This was sent by the Dark Group..."
"They received a transfer order from the palace. It had the master's seal on it, but the handwriting didn't match."
"They wrote to ask if they wanted to return to Chongzhou."
"Dad is injured?"
The little girl's tone was calm, yet surprisingly cold.
The general meaning of what was written on the small piece of paper was that the secret group received an order to return to Chongzhou to guard the prince's palace. The prince was injured and still in a coma.
Her words scared Huo Changming so much that he almost threw away the meat in his hand.
The young master looked at his sister with worry in his eyes.
Qi Shanyuan and Li Xingsang also wanted to comfort Jiang An, fearing that the little girl would be sad...
"I want to go back to Chongzhou!"
Jiang An didn't cry. He looked at Jiang Si with his round eyes and a calm expression.
"Jiang Si, go tell the teacher that I miss my father and want to go back."
"Jiang Jiu, come with me to find General Meng..."
