Chapter 106
Chapter 106
The news of one man fighting off a city spread quickly throughout the Dongliang Kingdom. Everyone complained about the emperor and learned about the existence of the Fifth Prince for the first time. They all praised him for doing a good job, especially the people of Hu'an Town, who were grateful to the Fifth Prince for speaking up for justice and saving their lives.
Jiang Qiu, who was walking on the official road, also heard about it and felt sad.
The novel does write that the five princes were very good at pleasing the emperor, and repeatedly made the emperor feel that they were his most sincere brothers.
While trying to please the emperor, he saved the people many times, making everyone think that Teng Enyuan would be a good emperor!
Therefore, when he ascended the throne, many people supported him.
Jiang Qiu is in a complicated mood now. She really hopes that the Fifth Prince will ascend the throne, but at the same time she is afraid that Lu Ce will rebel and die miserably.
"What are you worried about?" Lu Ce asked.
Ever since she learned that the Fifth Prince had saved the people of Hu'an Town, she has been frowning and no one knows what she is worried about.
Jiang Qiu looked around, moved closer to him, and said in a low voice: "I feel that the prince may rebel."
"That's obvious."
"I don't know if he will be a good emperor. I think the people of our country are suffering too much. The soldiers on the border suffer, and ordinary farmers suffer." Jiang Qiu thought of the last conscription, and then thought that in China, everyone thinks it is an honor to be a soldier, and his heart was extremely sad.
"He will not!"
Lu Ce said.
Jiang Qiu turned his head to look at him.
"An emperor who is willing to join forces with an enemy country to solve his enemies will never be a good emperor."
His spine is bent!
Jiang Qiu was shocked: "You mean the Fifth Prince has cooperation with other countries!"
"How do you think my father died?" Lu Ce asked back.
Jiang Qiu felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck his head.
How can it be!
Isn't the Fifth Prince the hero of the novel? He even went to the battle himself. How could this happen...
Jiang Qiu suddenly had an idea.
Could it be that the enemy country is afraid of the general who guards the country, so it reaches a cooperation with the Fifth Prince. As long as the general who guards the country is eliminated, it is willing to lose five cities in a row when fighting with the Fifth Prince.
Now that they have lost three cities in a row, as soon as they capture the fifth city, the Fifth Prince will probably come out in person to take back the land that originally belonged to the Dongliang Kingdom!
When Jiang Qiu thought of this possibility, she felt a chill on her back. She grabbed Lu Ce's arm and said in fear, "Can you make public the fact that my prince is collaborating with the enemy and committing treason?!"
"The evidence I got was destroyed." Lu Ce was annoyed. At that time, someone threatened his sleeping mother's life.
Otherwise, he would have to make the matter public.
Jiang Qiu slapped his forehead heavily, extremely anxious.
If this matter cannot be made public, then the soldiers in the next two cities will die in vain.
unless……
Jiang Qiu pulled Lu Ce to one side and said to the officers, "I'm in a hurry. I'll catch up with you later."
The officers were very familiar with her and just waved their hands casually, telling her to go and solve the problem quickly.
Jiang Qiu dragged Lu Ce up the mountain and looked at him seriously: "Do you know that I had a dream?"
Lu Ce raised his eyebrows.
I guess she should have the divination ability of a female ghost.
"You said."
"I had a dream. In the dream, the Fifth Prince would take action when our Dongliang Kingdom lost five cities. So the condition for him to surrender to the enemy and betray the country was that he would take back the five cities after we lost them. Therefore, the soldiers in the next two cities would die in vain, all for the Fifth Prince!"
Previously, Jiang Qiu did not know that the Fifth Prince had surrendered to the enemy and committed treason, so even if she knew that five cities would be lost, she could not do anything. She could only wait for the Fifth Prince to recapture them and pray that he would be quick, because she had no way to urge him to go. She was even more afraid that if she did something, the Fifth Prince would not be able to recapture the cities better.
Now everything was laid bare before his eyes. Jiang Qiu hated Teng Enyuan to death and did not care whether he would be considered as possessed by a female ghost or not. He told Lu Ce everything.
Lu Ce clenched her fists suddenly, and she looked at Jiang Qiu deeply: "Are you sure?"
Jiang Qiu nodded firmly: "I'm sure!"
How can we expect a traitor to be willing to go to the battlefield? It is a matter of life and death!
Seeing that Jiang Qiu was about to go crazy, Lu Ce was calmer than her: "Don't worry, I will take care of it."
"How to deal with it?"
"I need to be injured." Lu Ce said, "I will be in the carriage for the next seven days. Can you bear it?"
Jiang Qiu: "I can!"
"Okay, I'll take care of it. Go buy some more poison and sleeping pills from Zou Chengan later. Use them if you encounter any danger in the next seven days, okay?" Lu Ce reminded him worriedly. They encountered too many bandits along the way, and he was really worried about Jiang Qiu.
Jiang Qiu nodded repeatedly: "I understand, don't worry, I think I can take good care of myself, as well as our mother, Mingyue and Yaoer."
"Ah."
The people who were gradually moving away from Jiang Qiu and the others suddenly realized that there were flashes of swords and clanging sounds of iron in the forest where Jiang Qiu and Lu Ce had just entered.
Hu Zi was anxious: "Sir, something happened to my master!"
"Don't go!" Luo Yunchun stopped him, "If you really want to do something, protect Miss Jiang. I will protect her family and his disciples. If...she really encounters an accident, there will be people who will inherit her legacy."
The leaves in the mountains fluttered like fallen leaves swept by the autumn wind, or like floating snowflakes.
The mountain wind was howling, and the sound of metal colliding carried far away, echoing in the empty valley. The birds and beasts were frightened by the murderous aura and fled in all directions.
Everyone was watching the battle. Soon, seeing the bloody Lu Ce coming out, Qian collapsed to the ground, "Ce'er..."
Lu Mingyue quickly pulled Zou Chengan forward, "Hurry up and heal my uncle!"
Zou Chengan saw that he was covered in blood, but he frowned. He turned his gaze to Jiang Qiu and saw her winking at him, so he said to Lu Mingyue, "You step back. Your uncle needs an open space to heal. I will take him up the mountain to find a quiet place to heal. Otherwise, your uncle will bleed to death in less than two quarters of an hour!"
Lu Mingyue was so frightened that she retreated step by step and quickly gave up her place to Zou Chengan.
Soon, Zou Chengan and Jiang Qiu were seen carrying Lu Ce down. His body was still covered in blood. Jiang Qiu rented a carriage for Lu Ce to rest. In fact, his blood came from various animals. Zou Chengan was the first to notice and respond quickly. The people in the team were panicked when they saw that Lu Ce, who was so strong, was injured so badly!
Zou Chengan said to everyone: "It's OK, he will not die if he wakes up within ten days."
Qian's face was gloomy. She took Jiang Qiu's hand and asked, "Qiu Niang, is it because of my fault that Ce'er was killed?"
