Chapter 403 This person is very cunning, you have to be careful
Jiang Dichen suddenly stopped and ordered his subordinates: "Come here, since Lord Wu has such great ability, throw him into the capital of Yan State and let him take Yan State into his possession. At that time, I will personally ask my father to confer him the title of Duke of Zhenguo."
When Lord Wu heard that Jiang Dichen was going to throw him into the capital of Yan State, he quickly fled to the side and said to Jiang Dichen with a dry laugh: "Your Highness, you misunderstood me. I don't have that ability!"
Yan Mo looked at him with an unhappy face and scolded: "Since you know you have no ability, please shut up!"
Lord Wu nodded quickly and said, "Well, I won't say any more. I'll go back to the capital with everyone now."
Seeing that he had completely calmed down, Jiang Dichen led everyone to continue on their journey.
Jiang Dichen and his companions had a smooth journey throughout the territory of Yan State, not sure if it was because the new emperor of Yan State had just ascended the throne or for some other reason.
It was not until they entered the jurisdiction of Bei Ming that the road became increasingly difficult to travel. That same night outside the city of Yi, they encountered three consecutive assassination attempts.
After Yan Mo killed the last assassin, he asked his master, "Master, who do these assassins belong to?"
Jiang Dichen squatted down and looked at the dead body of the assassin. He picked up the hidden weapon on the dead body and observed it carefully. He said to his subordinates: "They don't look like secret guards trained by the royal family. They look like professional killers trained in the martial arts world."
"In that case, someone has hired someone to kill us." Yan Mo said with a frown.
Jiang Dichen said: "No matter who they are, we must be careful and on guard."
"Yes," Yan Mo replied.
Jiang Dichen had just finished cleaning up the mess when he suddenly heard his subordinates report: "Master, it's bad. Someone from the rear said that General Qin had his leg broken by a huge rock while trying to save General Dong."
When Jiang Dichen heard that Qin Zhen's leg was broken, his heart sank. Although he hated Qin Zhen, he was worried that Ruolan would blame him as Qin Zhen's leg was broken right under his nose, which made him look incompetent.
"Let's go and take a look." Jiang Dichen said.
Yan Mo and the subordinate who had just reported hurriedly followed.
When Jiang Dichen came to the rear, Qin Zhen had already fainted from the pain. He looked at General Dong, who was full of self-blame, and asked, "General Dong, what on earth is going on?"
Logically speaking, most of the assassinations along the way were aimed at him. As for people like General Dong, the assassins didn't even look at them, so Qin Zhen's injury was very strange.
General Dong listened to Jiang Dichen's question and told him the truth: "In reply to the general, just now, when I was discussing with General Qin who would stay to guard the city, a lot of rocks suddenly rolled down from the mountain. In order to save me, General Qin got his leg crushed."
Jiang Dichen looked at Qin Zhen's bandaged leg and asked General Dong, "What did the military doctor say?"
General Dong said with red eyes: "The military doctor said that General Qin may not be able to ride a horse again in this life."
General Dong felt very sad whenever he thought of the brave, resourceful and heroic man who had fought alongside him and knew that he could no longer fight alongside him.
Jiang Dichen looked at the unconscious Qin Zhen in silence for a moment, and then instructed General Dong: "General Dong, the security of the rear is now in your hands. We will discuss the matter of guarding the city later."
"Yes, General." General Dong replied.
Jiang Dichen ordered his subordinates, "Come here, carry General Qin to the front."
"Yes, master." After Yan Mo finished speaking, he quickly ordered his companions to carry Qin Zhen to the front.
Jiang Dichen returned to his temporary residence and asked his subordinates, "Have you found out? What happened to General Qin and the others?"
Yan Mo reported the truth to his master: "My master, according to what the two assassins said, they were paid to do the job, and their purpose was to destroy General Qin."
Jiang Dichen frowned and asked, "Specially to destroy Qin Zhen?"
But in Jiang Dichen's opinion, although Qin Zhen was a bit of a bastard, he didn't have a mortal enemy who wanted to kill him, which made him puzzled.
Yan Mo couldn't figure it out either, so he said to his master, "Master, why don't we wait until General Qin wakes up?"
Jiang Dichen nodded and said, "Well, this is possible."
"By the way, go and notify all the generals to come over. I have something to discuss." Jiang Dichen suddenly thought of the matter of guarding the city and gave orders to his subordinates.
"Yes, master." Yan Mo replied.
In Fuzhai, half a month had passed. Shan Mingyuan's injuries had improved a lot under Shen Ruolan's treatment, and his overall complexion was getting better and better.
Seeing that his grandson's injury had improved, Ding Xiuwen no longer targeted Shen Ruolan and lived with her in the mountains all day long, eating and drinking well.
But Shen Qi disliked him, and almost every day during dinner, a life-and-death battle would break out between the two of them, which gave Shen Ruolan a headache.
That day, just when the two of them finally stopped and were about to have dinner, someone suddenly reported outside Shen Ruolan's house: "Village leader, the eldest cousin is here."
When Shen Ruolan heard that her cousin had arrived, she quickly instructed the servant outside the door, "Please invite my cousin in."
"Yes, leader." The servant outside the door received the order and hurried to bring Shen Ziqian in.
Shen Ziqian came to Shen Ruolan's dining room and greeted his grandfather first, saying, "Ziqian greets Grandpa."
After he finished speaking, he smiled at Shen Ruolan and said, "Sister Lan, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
In order to catch the murderer of Shen Ruolan, Shen Ziqian followed the culprit for a whole year before he had the chance to catch her.
Shen Ruolan smiled at her cousin and said, "Thank you for your hard work, cousin."
After she finished speaking, she ordered the servants, "Come here, quickly add a set of bowls and chopsticks for my cousin."
"Yes, village chief." The servants received the order and hurried to prepare the dishes and chopsticks.
Shen Ruolan looked at the empty seat beside her and said to Shen Ziqian, "Cousin, please sit down and have dinner with us."
Shen Ziqian glanced at Shen Ruolan, who looked a little strange, and said to her: "Okay"
After saying this, he accidentally glanced at Ding Xiuwen and found that he looked familiar. He asked Shen Ruolan with a curious look on his face, "Sister Lan, who is this?"
Without waiting for Shen Ruolan to answer, Shen Qi said to his grandson, "There's no need to pay attention to these irrelevant cowards."
After hearing what his grandfather said, Shen Ziqian became even more confused, but seeing that his grandfather looked unhappy, he didn't ask any more questions.
Shen Hui, who was standing by, couldn't help but ask his eldest brother, "Brother, have you caught the culprit?"
Shen Ziqian nodded to his cousin and said, "Well, now that he's caught, it depends on how Sister Lan and Grandpa deal with him."
When Shen Hui heard that they had been arrested, he stopped eating and quickly stood up and asked his brother, "Where is he? Let me go and see?"
Shen Ziqian said: "It's just outside the yard."
After Shen Ziqian finished speaking, he saw his brother running away. He looked at his back and warned: "Third brother, this person is very cunning, you have to be careful."
