Chapter 177 – The Cicada Shells
Chapter 177 – Golden Cicada Shell
The carriage cavalry team continued to move forward, and the unknown Iron Floating Guards, their aura suddenly withered a lot.
On a distant mountain range, a black figure looked at the cavalry caravan under the mountain dead on, and suddenly asked in a brittle voice: “How much certainty is there?”
A person behind him clasped his fists and said, “Six points! If the giant poison enters the body, there should be eight points!”
The black figure coughed a few times: “Look at it again, not to be taken lightly, it is said that this kid has a reckless origin, some ghost wit, not Jiang Yugui that wine bag can be compared! Cough cough cough ……”
“Jian Ying girl, you …… are injured?”
“Shut up, not to be called by name!”
“Here!”
……
In the rocking of the carriage, Sheng Lingge, Cicada Yi and Xin Zhuo sat opposite each other.
Sheng Lingge had a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth: “Shizi is smart, he already has the demeanor of the previous county king, the Jiang family should prosper!”
“Don’t boast, I eat, drink, whore, gamble and play more than anyone else! You guys tell me first, who is assassinating?”
Xin Zhuo impatiently straightened his annoying long hair, “I actually came here to enjoy the happiness, you guys are so messed up, I have to think about whether I want to continue to go back to be a mountain bandit!”
Cicada Yi and Brother Sheng Ling looked at each other and hesitated for a long time: “It could be anyone!”
“What do you mean?” Xin Zhuo asked, is it hard to believe that Jiang is full of enemies?
Cicada Yi said: “During the lifetime of His Highness the West Qin County King, the father of the World Son, he had destroyed the three western regions, and the remaining royal family of the three countries have not been cleared out yet, this is one of them.
Secondly, the son returned to the Jiang family, is the Jiang family’s eldest eldest grandson, the future is destined to master all the Jiang family, the western region of 300,000 Qin army and full of the world of the disciples of the old officials and the power of the dark, this is a lot of people in the dynasty do not want to see, that is, the highest of the one, but also ……
Its three ……”
“Enough!”
Good guy, I came to lie to win, you tell me there are a bunch of enemies, but also to continue the business?
But if you really turn around and go back and don’t play, but also a little unwilling, Xin Zhuo frowned and said, “I just want to go back to the Jiang family as soon as possible, and have a good night’s sleep, Brother Sheng Ling!”
“The mark is here!”
Xin Zhuo commanded: “I don’t have the heart to dilly-dally on the road, you go one step ahead, go to the front of the capital city to customize fifty identical carriages, and then find fifty people who are similar in stature to me to dress up as me, be quick!”
“Good idea.”
Sheng Lingge’s eyes lit up and he cupped his fists and saluted: “Here!”
He hurriedly got off the carriage.
Cicada Yi looked at Xin Zhuo, a hint of a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth: “World Son wants to use the trick of splitting the flaps to confuse the assassins?”
Xin Zhuo coldly laughed: “This kind of pediatric scheme is not in line with my style, you guys split your troops to properly escort the carriage on the road, I will go to the capital by myself, and wait for you at the capital …… east gate, right!”
……
Early morning of the second day.
Yanzhou Mansion.
The moment the four city gates had just opened, fifty identical carriages, each escorted by more than a dozen Iron Floating Guards, made their way around the road.
Cui Ying’er, Murong Huo, and the others were also dizzily separated.
Instead, it was Cicada Yi and Sheng Lingge who escorted one of the carriages, departing from the west gate and heading straight in the direction of the capital.
Halfway there, Sheng Lingge couldn’t help but lift the carriage curtain to look inside, and said to a trembling and unfamiliar teenager, “Shizi and be at ease!”
Turning back to Cicada Yi, his brows locked: “Cicada Yi sect master, who do you think did it, those people are well trained, not a single one of them could be captured alive, their mouths all contain poisons, clearly they are all dead soldiers!”
Cicada Cloth was silent, as if he was too lazy to answer or already had a guess.
Sheng Lingge lowered his head and thought: “Then you say, which one did Shizi take? I am really confused!”
Cicada Yi also frowned slightly, and only after a long time did he say: “Shizi doesn’t know how many things he’s experienced, he’s too vigilant and has too many ideas, even I don’t know which one he sat in, or if he sat in none of them!” Sheng Lingge uttered a laugh: “Rather, he is much better than the second prince!”
“…… It’s not easy to say, after being used to suffering, once you are rich, it’s hard to recognize the nature of the heart, and it’s easy to go from frugality to extravagance! This has nothing to do with cleverness, but hopefully Shizi is not that kind of person!”
Cicada Yi sighed softly, “Moreover, I regret it, we shouldn’t listen to him, I now even doubt …… that he will run back the same way!”
Sheng Lingge couldn’t help but widen his eyes: “No, it can’t be?”
……
“It won’t?”
Outside the city on a small hill, two black-clothed figures silently watched dozens of carriages of the same style leaving the city at the four gates of the Prefecture City, and one of them couldn’t help but voice out in surprise.
One person in front was dressed in black, still convex and concave, with an extremely slim figure, only one pair of eyes exposed with very long eyelashes, with a hint of doubt in their bright eyes: “Whose idea could this possibly be?”
“Subordinate does not know!”
“……”
Win Jian Ying pondered for a long time, she had come here under her master’s death order, she must not let Jiang Yuqing return to the capital alive.
But at this moment, the other party had casually given a great difficulty with a small ploy.
“Since the other party made this kind of trick, I’m afraid that Jiang Yuqing is unharmed, notify down, deploy seven more minor sect master experts, every carriage must not be spared …… But check before you make a move, and you can’t make too much of it!”
“Here!”
……
“Thump thump thump ……”
On a flatbed truck pulling grass in the north of the city, a head suddenly poked out, if not the messy-haired Xin Zhuo, who else could it be?
Fortunately, the flatbed truck was in a dragging state, and the driver did not notice him.
He sat up and fumed for a while, suddenly remembering the image of those Jianghu experts who were detained pushing themselves when they took care of the Jianghu hunting order a few months ago.
At that time, he also swore that he would never ride a flatbed cart again in this life, who would have expected that he would go back on his words today?
Life is unpredictable, just like his mountain bandits Jianghu people do a good job suddenly became the son of a family like bullshit.
He looked at the driver and asked, “Do you know where there is a boat nearby that can take the waterway directly to the capital?”
The driver didn’t even turn his head back: “Isn’t the Da Qing River right next to it? It is said that the Daqing River can go all the way around to the Biantong River that leads to the capital, but the distance is too ……”.
The words did not finish, suddenly reacted, where is the person? Suddenly turned his head, the car is empty, froze for a moment, screamed strangely, ran away.
……
Xin Zhuo has already sat on the boat, a three-story poopdeck boat.
This kind of boat is usually an inland river to run a long way, and it is the seventh one he inquired about, just heading to the capital city of Bian Tong River near the river.
The first floor was for boatmen, boat owners, ordinary people and loaded with goods, the second floor was for ordinary merchants and rich families, and the third floor was for separate elegant rooms for either extremely rich burnt packet do-gooders, or government officials and eunuchs.
Xin Zhuo not bad money, want a third floor small elegant room, across the distance from the capital is still more than a thousand miles, afraid to ride for several days, can not treat yourself.
This side lying on the short collapse, casually eat a few pieces of snacks, pondering Cui Ying’er they follow the carriage will not be dangerous, light on their own, hope that with their ghost wit, will not happen!
At this moment, I heard someone chanting outside on the deck of the ship: “Lone sails in the blue sky, only to see the Yangtze River flowing between the skies! I’m going to the capital, I must have a good future!”
“Good poem! Good poem!” Someone on the side chimed in.
“Truly excellent poetry, I didn’t expect Mr. Fu to be so literate!” Another nice woman’s voice praised.
Xin Zhuo was shocked, Li Bai’s poem? Wouldn’t he have met a “fellow traveler”? He hurriedly scurried out of the room and looked out.
He saw four people standing on the boat path, two young gentlemen, a big girl with a maid.
