Chapter 232 The Sick and Vicious Soldier and His Iron-Blooded and Cold-Faced General 11
An inexplicable feeling of fear surged into his heart, and thoughts that the situation was not good filled his entire mind.
But he was unwilling to do so.
He only has this one chance. If he fails, his future path will be even more difficult.
The masked man quickly regained his composure. He looked at the chaos at the foot of the mountain and instructed the people around him in a low voice:
"Tell everyone down there to retreat as quickly as possible! Lead them to where we have set up an ambush."
After saying that, the masked man clenched the bow and arrow in his hand and turned away with the people behind him.
On the other side, the soldiers looked at the people who suddenly appeared and hurriedly retreated, and subconsciously wanted to chase after them, but Ji Bai raised his hand to stop them.
818: [Following on for a few kilometers, we will find the place where the Eighth Prince has set a trap. This plot also appears in the original novel. The original owner was very powerful, but in the chaos he did not notice the poisoned arrow stabbing at him. When he came to his senses, the arrow was already in front of him. In the end, a soldier blocked him and saved him from death.]
In the original plot, the original owner also stopped his men from chasing the enemy, because the original owner was very smart. He knew that the "bandits" in front of him were not bandits, but assassins under the command of those in the court who wanted to kill him.
No one in the capital city is a vegetarian.
The person who wants his life will never do anything to alert the enemy.
So they did not fight to the end, but retreated quickly and fled, thinking that there were unknown risks waiting for them on the road of escape.
The original owner had extremely strong fighting power, extremely good looks, and a terrifyingly delicate mind.
If it were any other novel, he would definitely be the male protagonist.
But his failure was due to his blind loyalty.
The Jiang family has been guarding the Tianqi Kingdom for generations. Their ancestors were not only the founding generals of the Tianqi Kingdom, but also countless generals who came out of the Jiang family. The Jiang family is always praised by the people.
Everyone in the Jiang family is loyal, but still cannot withstand the emperor's suspicion.
After the emperor fell seriously ill, he found a reason to put all the people in the general's mansion into prison, preparing to send all the members of the Jiang family to hell before his death. This was all for his favorite third prince. He was afraid that when the third prince was in power, the people of the Jiang family would rebel.
When the Turks and the Eighth Prince rebelled and reached the city gates, the emperor, who was not yet dead, could only plead for the original owner to be released from the cage, promising him that if he could repel the rebels under the city gates, he would release all the people in the cage.
But the emperor's actions were not an act of negotiation.
When the emperor was negotiating with the original owner, there was someone behind him holding a knife to the neck of the original owner's closest relative.
The original owner had no choice but to watch his loved ones being killed, and finally, he was pierced through the heart by thousands of arrows at the gate of the prosperous capital city that he had protected for half his life.
There are only a few brief records in history books, and not much else.
818 looked up at the boss with a serious expression and felt sorry for the original owner.
The original owner and his family could have escaped this disaster, but they were too stupid. Someone had clearly tipped them off that the emperor was suspicious of them, but they didn't believe it.
The old lady in the general's mansion even asked her eldest son to run to the emperor to ask.
How could the emperor say it directly?
He said that he had no such intention, and sent the general back to his palace with kind words and persuasion, but at night, the emperor hanged all those who had complained.
When the others saw this, no one secretly told the original owner's family anymore.
Speaking of the old lady in the general's mansion, 818 suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.
The soldiers were already cleaning up the battlefield. It looked at the eldest brother who was walking towards the river, followed him and said, "Elder brother, I think the most troublesome person in the capital is not the emperor, but the old lady in the general's mansion."
Ji Bai tilted his ear slightly.
818: [The old lady has a lot of say in the general's mansion. Whatever she says is final. She may be an important step in the general's mansion's doom.]
[The old lady was born in a relatively humble family, but when she was young, she was able to gain the favor of the general. However, due to her birth problem, she was always looked down upon by other ladies. In the end, she was lucky and saved the people under the emperor. In the end, she got the help of the emperor and finally won the final victory.]
[The children in the backyard, whether boys or girls, were all taught by the old lady. As you can imagine, they were taught from an early age that the emperor was a good man who would not scheme against them, and they became loyal to the emperor when they grew up.]
Ji Bai stood by the river, and after a while he said calmly: [The old lady is the emperor's person.]
818: [Ah?]
Ji Bai raised his hand to take off his bloodstained armor, lowered his eyes and replied: [The emperor has absolute power, so it is not difficult for him to find a few beautiful women of "low status". It is not that she has a heart of gratitude, because she originally obeys the emperor's orders. ]
Ji Bai put the armor aside and subconsciously looked back. When he didn't see Xiao Xiechuan following him, he turned back and untied the belt around his waist. He continued, "How could a man who could fight all the women in the backyard be so stupid as to urge his eldest son to run to the emperor and tell him about this matter?"
818 was enlightened, patted his head and said in shock: [Why didn’t I think of this! ? ]
The old lady's actions did not benefit the General's Mansion at all, but instead pushed it into a deeper abyss.
Ji Bai threw his robe aside and just as he was about to raise his hand to take off his underwear, a sound came from somewhere behind him.
he:..........
818's thoughts were interrupted. He turned his head to look at Xiao Xiechuan who was hiding on a branch in the distance, and was speechless.
[How come Xiao Xiechuan always appears when you are taking a bath and lingers around? ]
Ji Bai gathered his clothes slightly, turned around and looked up at the place where the sound came from, without saying a word or moving.
After a while, Xiao Xiechuan slowly walked over from a distance, stood in front of him and said slowly: "General, I am here to protect you."
Ji Bai glanced at him calmly, ignoring the dark light flashing in his eyes, and then looked away and asked, "Why? Is there anyone here who would steal my clothes?"
