Chapter 107 Killing Jiang An
The tables and chairs in the lobby of the post station were removed, and bright lights and silks were hung all around.
The lights on the tree-like candlesticks flickered, and the light was reflected by the fine wine vessels placed on the low table. At the door sat actors playing musical instruments, and the waiters from Yufulou served the dishes to the table.
The warm smiles on their faces added a special touch to the occasion.
Sitting on the main seat was still the Prince of Zhenguo, Jiang Jichen, with Jiang An and Jiang Yizhou sitting on his left and right, and after them were the governor, Xie Yunshan, Hu Yan and others.
Jiang Yizhou held up the wine glass with both hands and saluted Jiang Jichen from a distance, "Uncle Emperor, your nephew toasts to you."
"Uncle Emperor is leading the troops to garrison Chongzhou. I admire you very much!"
The young man from the royal family can be said to be the most arrogant young man in the world. He is sincere and there is no ambiguity in his words, which is enough to show his real respect for Jiang Jichen.
The prince, with an indifferent look on his face, picked up the cup with one hand and said, "I want to take my daughter with me, so I will use tea instead of wine. As for garrisoning Chongzhou, it is just my duty."
After saying this, he drank the tea in the cup.
An An looked up from the delicious food, glanced at her coffee table, looked around, and turned to look at the servant waiting behind her.
She pointed at her coffee table and gestured, "Why doesn't An An have a cup?"
The servant was stunned, then immediately smiled and apologized to Tuanzi, "I'll get you a cup right away..."
Xie Yunshan, who had just raised his head from his meal, drank a mouthful of wine smoothly, "You don't drink, so why do you need a cup? To hold milk?"
Jiang An puffed up his face, put his hands on his hips, and said in a bad mood, "I want it, lululu~"
"Hey~"
"cough…"
Xie Yunshan raised his eyes and met Jiang Jichen's cold gaze. He silently withdrew his outstretched hand and smiled awkwardly.
With his father's support, Tuanzi grinned at him with his big teeth bared, just like two little chicks pecking at each other.
Rather than calling it a banquet, it would be better to say that it was just an ordinary welcoming banquet, with no dull and rigid palace maids and no complicated palace rules.
This was a very novel experience for the Second Prince, who had never left the Imperial City. He relaxed his tense mind, and the gentle smile on his face became more genuine.
He turned his head and tried to talk to the uncle again, "An An is very cute, the uncle is so lucky..."
Jiang Jichen nodded without hesitation, his eyes never leaving his daughter, "She is indeed very well behaved."
He was indifferent by nature and had never thought of raising a child in the past 23 years, but he placed this child at the top of his heart...
With the presence of Jiang An and Xie Yunshan at the banquet, there was a lot more laughter. Tuanzi always managed to make the governor and Hu Yan laugh with his round face, and even the music played by the actors added a touch of joy.
With this voice, Jiang Yizhou bowed to the emperor's uncle again, his clear voice carrying sincere gratitude.
"Yizhou hasn't thanked the uncle yet. Thanks to the uncle's help, I was able to be released from house arrest early."
Jiang Jichen was never a kind person. He helped the Second Prince escape from the predicament in Kyoto in order to prevent the Queen Mother's power from developing further.
But this doesn't mean that he will do Jiang Yizhou this favor for nothing. Naturally, he wants him to know who is helping him!
After all, this is just the beginning of their cooperation...
Jiang Jichen raised his eyebrows, his handsome face had a hint of ruffian, and his narrow eyes looked at his nephew.
"I don't quite understand what the Second Prince said..."
He has always been very careful in what he does, and he won't let his guard down just because of a few nice words from this kid.
Being in the royal family, Jiang Yizhou was very clear-headed and just smiled knowingly.
He lowered his eyebrows and said meaningfully, "This time I came to Chongzhou, one is to find the Princess Nan Zhao in the name of my father, and the other is to read out..."
"There are assassins!"
"Close the door, quick!"
As the sound was heard, Jiang Jichen looked towards the door with sharp eyes, clenched the cup in his hand, and gathered his internal strength in his palm.
When the actors heard that there was an assassin, their nails scratched the piano, making a piercing sound, and they screamed and stood up from the cushions and ran to the banquet...
Hu Yan did not move, his fox eyes swept across the actors, his brows furrowed in thought.
When faced with a sudden situation like an assassin, any normal person would be panicked and stunned on the spot. But these actors didn't even put down their pianos to escape and went straight to the main seat?
In a flash, his eyes widened slightly, and he threw the cup in his hand at one of the actors. At the same time, he stood up and ran to Jiang An's position.
"Xie Yunshan, there's something wrong with the actor!"
With a "swish..." sound, the dagger and the soft sword were pulled out from the zither. The sharp blade split the porcelain cup in two and fell on the carpet. The wine spilled all over the floor, but no one sighed...
At this moment, Jiang An burped while holding a chicken leg in one hand, his eyes wide with confusion. What happened?
"An An!"
Tuanzi looked confused and followed the sound to see the old fox flying over. Behind him was an actor holding a dagger, with a cold look in his eyes that seemed to regard Hu Yan as the soul killed by his knife.
Jiang Anyuan's eyes flashed coldly, and he threw the chicken leg in his hand at the beautiful and vicious beauty, struggling to get up...
She can also fight!!
There was a "bang" sound!
Jiang Jichen slammed the table and stood up. With one hand, he picked up Xie Yunshan, who was about to rescue Tuanzi, and threw him towards the governor's position. With the other hand, he pinched the actor's neck and threw him out, hitting him against a pillar.
The actor's dagger was still pierced with the chicken leg that Jiang An had thrown out, and his death was particularly funny.
Xie Yunshan was forced to move, still a little confused. He threw the plate in his hand down and handed the governor who was still ready to fight to Jiang Yizhou who was protected by his followers.
"Yizhou, don't move, I'm here!"
He took the precious sword from his friend and held it in his hand, eager to try...
This sword looks expensive!
Jiang Jichen held the baby in one hand, and with Hu Yan as his accessory behind him, he would kick each one away.
Xie Yunshan rushed into the group of assassins with a long sword in hand, fighting them while beating them non-stop.
"I said your song is not as good as Chunxinglou's. So you are assassins..."
Jiang An: “That’s right!”
"Whether you want breasts or not..."
"Hey, who hit me?"
Jiang Jichen put down his throwing hand, patted Tuanzi's forehead as he tried to agree, and kicked the actor who was running towards him away. He warned Xie Yunshan in a cold voice,
"Hit me if you want, shut up!"
What nonsense are you talking about!
The assassins' targets were Jiang Yizhou and Jiang An. Even Jiang Jichen, who had the highest bounty in the assassin industry, was left out...
Hu Yan's white shirt was disheveled, and the bottom of his robe was stained with blood. Standing in such a chaotic hall, he seemed like a civil official planning a strategy in troubled times.
These assassins were probably sent by the Queen Mother's party. Their purpose was to create rift between Jiang Jichen and Jiang Yizhou and to kill Jiang An.
Jiang An is the bloodline of Jiang Jichen.
In their minds, a king as powerful as Jiang Jichen who was so powerful that he threatened his master should not have a descendant to inherit his legacy, even if she was a woman...
Hu Yan sorted out all the details in his mind and shouted to Xie Yunshan, "Leave him alive and bring him here!"
The Akabane Army outside the gate will definitely come in soon. The Akabane Army is guarding the imperial city, and they cannot be trusted.
If all the assassins were killed by the Akabane Army, there would be no need to try them!
