If Xia Jiang suddenly spit out such a sentence in order to shock Yan Que unexpectedly, he can be said to be a complete failure. When it comes to the calmness of the water, there are few people in the world who can compare to this once-fashionable Hou Ye, so even the most vicious eyes in the world can't find a trace of innocence on Yan Que's face at this time. Appropriate expression, even though he doesn't really have no feeling for this sentence.
"Brother Xia, what are you talking about? What kind of prison?" Yan Que raised his eyebrows and asked, with a hint of surprise.
"Of course, it's to save Wei Zheng, the lieutenant of the Chiyu Battalion. Xuanjing Division's dungeon is not easy to break into. If you don't lead me out, King Jing will not dare to do it." Xia Jiang looked at Yan Que with a cold face, his eyes Leng Ji said, "When did Marquis Yan start to work for King Jing? You have been hiding the truth all these years, and even I really thought... You have become depressed and reclusive."
"You think that you are right, and the problem of saving others by yourself still hasn't changed," Yan Que's eyes flashed coldly, "For you, maybe there are no crimes in this world that you can't prove, but only crimes that you can't think of. To impose the charge of hijacking a prisoner on a prince without any basis, Xia Jiang, don't you think you're a little crazy?"
"Did I wrong him? Wouldn't he go and save Wei Zheng?" Xia Jiang raised his chin slightly and looked at Yan Que, "I'm afraid that he really shrinks back and ignores that deputy general of Chi Yan. But I believe that King Jing's temperament will not disappoint me so much."
Yan Que thought for a while, then nodded his head happily, "You're right, Prince Jing's temperament seems to be like this. But he's not stupid, you Xuanjing Division is such a dragon and a tiger's den, even if he wants to break through, he'll be powerless. ."
"That's why, Marquis Yan, you came forward to lead me away," Xia Jiang said with his eyes narrowed again, "Maybe it's not just me, King Jing's adviser heard that he is not small, maybe even Xia Qiu and Xia Chun him. He can also try to lure him away. If the three of us are not there, he may really have a chance to win.”
"I remember a long, long time ago, when you first graduated, you didn't always use imagination instead of facts as you are now." Yan Que sighed, "When did it become like this? Are we too slow or are you too fast?"
"Am I really just imagining? The number of patrol battalions around the Xuanjing Division has been increasing recently. King Jing thought that he could hide it from me by secretly dispatching the whole to zero," Xia Jiang There was a arrogance in his smile, "Unfortunately, he is fighting a battle that must be lost, I am actually encouraging him to come, show his flaws, follow him, give him opportunities to take advantage of, in order to increase his popularity. Confidence makes him feel that there should be hope that he can successfully rescue people, especially when he has an inner response..."
Yan Que glanced at Xia Jiang, and his eyes did not move for a while. For this Marquis, this is already his most surprised expression.
"I haven't found out why Dong'er suddenly became suspicious and started to investigate that stale old case. But it's okay for her to turn to you at this time. I'm worried that there is no suitable way to increase King Jing's confidence and let him Hurry up and act." Xia Jiang moved closer to Yan Que, as if he wanted to pierce his calm skin earlier, "She has been back for three days, and I still treat her the same as before, not restricting any of her actions at all. When she secretly spied on Wei Zheng's location in the dungeon through Qiu'er, I would also find a way to properly disclose it to her without letting her notice anything abnormal. For King Jing, there are secret accomplices like me. , he will definitely feel that the plan is very smooth, and success is mostly in his hands. Do you think so?"
"I think you care too much." Yan Que said unceremoniously, "I know your Xuanjing Division dungeon is a powerful place, but it was breached when all the envoys were absent, and Xia Dong was the inner responder. It's not difficult, right? You're not afraid that Xia Dong will really lead someone into the dungeon to rescue Wei Zheng?"
"That's right," Xia Jiang nodded, "this is a difficult problem. I can't really give up the child if I give up the child to be a wolf. Wei Zheng is still very useful to me now, as long as he is still in my hands. No matter how many unexpected changes occur in the situation, the odds are always on my side.”
Yan Que poked the fire in the stove, and then lifted the lid of the teapot on the fire to look at the water in it, as if listening but not listening.
"If the people sent by King Jing are capable, Dong'er does have the ability to lead them to break through the dungeon." Xia Jiang didn't care and continued, "But Lord Yan, you think that breaking the dungeon means you can find it. Wei Zheng?"
Yan Que put the lid on the teapot again, and his vision finally began to become a little unsteady. Because he understood what Xia Jiang meant.
When Mei Changsu made a meticulous plan and overcame all the obstacles to break into the Xuanjing Division dungeon, it was a pity to find that Wei Zheng was not actually there at all.
Xia Dong is the best inner response, but if this inner response is actually a chess piece placed by someone else, then the more information and help you get from her, the greater the chance of a disastrous defeat.
Xia Jiang seemed to be satisfied that he finally cut a small crack in Yan Que's iron-like skin, and immediately pressed again, "Marquis Yan, did King Jing tell you how he intends to exonerate himself after he kidnapped Wei Zheng. ?"
"I have no dealings with King Jing." Yan Que replied coldly, "and I believe that King Jing did nothing wrong. Brother Xia, you think too much."
"You're still so ignorant of current affairs." Xia Jiang stood up after spitting out such a comment, walked slowly to the window, pushed open the plain paper sash, supported it with a stick, and took a deep breath of the cold and humid air , "This Taoist temple in the mountain is cooler than the city. No matter what kind of noise, it can't be spread here. It's a pity, what a pity?"
"What a pity? It's a pity that the noise can't get through?"
"Yeah," Xia Jiang said lightly, "It's too far away, so I can't see or hear it. I wonder if it's already getting lively in the Xuanjing Division?"
Yan Que looked at the shadow of the sun, at most half past noon, the action should not have started yet. But the journey from the Taoist temple to the city was an hour and a half, so everything was irreversible.
"It's a pity that I have a good dungeon," Xia Jiang turned back, "there is no Wei Zheng in it, but there is a fire thunder. As soon as the lead next door is lit... You can imagine. As long as the blood starts to fly inside, I don't believe King Jing. After getting the news, I was still calm. There were so many people in the patrol camp outside the Xuanjing Division, and most of them were now led by King Jing's confidants. Could it be that they could bear to watch it all the time? As long as King Jing's As soon as a person gets excited and rushes to increase his troops, more and more people will invest in it, and things will naturally get bigger and bigger, and it will be difficult for him to get rid of it again. Wash your chances."
Yan Que lowered his eyes and was silent for a long time, then Fang slowly raised his head. "Brother Xia, I just want to ask you a question."
"Speaking."
"Have you ever thought about where your disciple Xia Dong is when the lead of the fire thunder is lit?"
Xia Jiang pursed his lips, and there was almost nothing in his eyes that could be called emotion. "I'm disappointed by her recent performance, she's no longer a qualified slingshot."
"In your eyes, is she just such an existence? She studied with you when she was a child, and always respected you and obeyed your disciple. Is she just such an existence? It is always exploiting, deceiving, and exploiting again, until she has When I realize that I can no longer use it, I will destroy it..." Yan Que said every word, sad and helpless, "How unfortunate Xia Dong is to be thrown into your door, how unfortunate it is that I didn't see your face clearly in time."
"You're starting to sound unpleasant," Xia Jiang said unmoved, "why, I'm a little overwhelmed? It's not too late to regret it now, Hou Yan, you already chose to miss a position, do you still want to do it again? wrong once?"
"Right or wrong is only in your heart. If you think I'm wrong, why don't I think you're wrong?" Yan Que shook his head and sighed, "But I want to tell you that you don't have to believe in love, but it's best not to despise it, otherwise, you will will be defeated by love.”
Xia Jiang raised his head and laughed loudly. He stopped laughing for a long time, and calmed his breath: "Have you only grown older these years? How can you say such naive words? In fact, it is you who have been defeated by love and righteousness. You should have There is a victory, but you give up on it yourself. It was like this then, and it is like this now..."
Yan Que turned to look at Riying again, drank the last cup of tea, and stood up.
"what are you doing?"
"I can leave, but I can't stand staying with you for another moment." Yan Que didn't look at Xia Jiang when he answered, and walked out as he spoke, and finally walked out of the yard without looking back. Xia Jiang did not expect that he would end the meeting so simply, and was surprised and a little puzzled. When I went out, I saw that Yan Que went straight to the sedan chair and ordered someone to return, without the appearance of deliberately trying to do anything mysterious, and I felt even more uneasy.
What's the difference? Xia Jiang frowned and pondered for a moment, and Yan Que's last sentence suddenly crossed his mind.
"I can go..."
Yan Que said "you can" go, not "I want to go." Could it be that he "can't" go before that
But why "can't go"? Does he have any mission? But his task today should be to lure himself away from the Hanging Mirror Division!
Thinking of this, Xia Jiang's mind suddenly flashed, a thought popped up, his face changed suddenly, his body flashed, and he flew to the front of the mountain gate, but he didn't expect to see his mount. Foaming limp to the ground, looking around, there was no one there, and trying to find another horse was basically delusional.
In desperation, Xia Jiang gritted his teeth, but made a quick decision. He lifted his anger and flew away, and dashed towards the imperial city with his Qinggong.
However, no matter how high a person's martial arts are, even if he can fight a good horse at a momentary speed, it will not last long. Therefore, even though Xia Jiang has a deep inner strength and is good at the art of controlling qi, it will be almost two hours later when he finally rushes back to the door of Xuanjing Division.
The prison robbery operation was obviously over at this time, but there was no flesh and blood, and there was no pile of rubble. The dungeon was still there, and the lead of the fire and thunder had been destroyed. The soldiers of the Xuanjing Palace in the field of vision looked a little dazed, and the two young masters who commanded them even looked annoyed. When they first saw Xia Jiang, they immediately rushed over to report the situation excitedly, but they were even caught by this. The face of the first adult was frightened back.
In fact, these two young envoys with heavy responsibilities are talents that Xia Jiang has valued very much recently. He even considered whether to change the practice passed down from generation to generation by the Xuanjing Division and appoint a few more people. So this failure is not due to the incompetence of the two of them, but the decision makers' own mistakes.
Yan Que's mission was indeed only to lead Xia Jiang out, but the purpose of leading him out was not to make the prisoner robbery easier, but to prevent him from having the opportunity to notice the strangeness at the scene and adjust his plan in time.
Because Xia Jiang's experience is too rich, for example, at this moment, he can know just by looking at the scene that King Jing's people did not seriously attack the Xuanjing Division, and spending so much effort planning a feint always has a purpose, the most likely The purpose, of course, is to grab everyone's attention and hide another real action.
However, Xia Jiang didn't have time to reflect now. As soon as he saw the current situation of Xuanjing Division, he knew that it was not good, so he immediately rushed to the nearest horse, jumped on it, swung several whips, and ran towards the city.
The two young palms glanced at each other, still confused, not knowing what to do next. For the two of them, the plan was very clear and effective. First let Xia Dong bring people into the Xuanjing Division, wait for them to get close to the dungeon, and then start the attack. After most of the people were surrounded by the corridor in front of the dungeon, Light the fire. But when it was actually executed, the first half went smoothly, but when those people approached the dungeon, the situation changed. They did not continue to move forward, anyway, they seemed to be preparing to enter the adjacent courtyard. In order to prevent them from discovering the fire and thunder leads, they had to fight early. The opponent's combat power was unexpectedly strong, and the scene was very stalemate. Then these people who came to rob the prison did not even enter the outer courtyard of the dungeon, and immediately began to break through the siege. The soldiers who were originally scheduled to come after the fire and thunder bombing did not seal the passage. It was difficult to catch a live one in the place where the courtyard was stacked, but they were finally rushed out. The officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion outside came out at this time to catch the giant thief. After the chaos, there was no shadow...
The entire prison robbery process passed by in such a confused way, thunder and rain, and it was a thousand miles away from the original tragic situation, leaving the setters at a loss.
But when the two young masters looked at each other, Xia Jiang rushed to the city and rushed straight into the courtyard of the Yamen of Dali Temple. Fortunately, the head of the day office recognized the head of the hanging mirror envoy, who had already run away, so he immediately stopped the two yamen who were going to come forward to stop him, and sent someone to invite the Dali Temple Chancellor Zhu. Yue, stepped forward to salute.
Xia Jiang didn't even look at him, and rushed straight to the Dali Temple prison in the east. It's still very quiet here, but the quietness doesn't make Xia Jiang feel at ease. Unlike the Xuanjing Division, it has too many ways and loopholes to be torn apart.
"Quickly open it!" When the head of the prison came over to ask questions, he only heard such an order, but he immediately saw the gesture of the master who was running behind him, and hurriedly touched the key from his waist and opened the door. Next came the second door, the passage, the inner prison, and the water prison. Xia Jiang advanced at the fastest speed, and finally came to a dark and heavy iron door with only one small hole.
This time, Xia Jiang himself took out a key from his body and opened the iron door. A dark figure curled up on the ground, his limbs tightly bound by iron chains. Xia Jiang grabbed his hair and lifted his whole face up. He glanced at the faint light of the oil lamp on the other side of the prison, and was relieved.
However, just after he breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly realized that he had made an extremely stupid mistake, even more stupid than the trap that had already failed.
