336 The Princess's Crisis
Boom!
With a loud bang, the shadow assassin was slapped and flew out, and then fell heavily to the ground.
"puff..."
A mouthful of blood spurted out, spraying all over the ground.
Before she could react, a figure appeared beside her, she was grabbed by the collar, and then she felt a strong punch in the abdomen.
In an instant, I felt as if I was hit by a huge hammer.
But Shadow Assassin was not a person who would give in easily, and he gritted his teeth and shouted angrily: "Ah!"
In an instant, her martial arts virtual image Tengu was summoned behind her, but before the poor Tengu could react, two huge figures appeared directly above him.
Zhurong, who was holding two fire snakes, and the God of Spring, who was riding a big buffalo, were looking down at the summoned Great Tengu from above. The Great Tengu's face became even redder and his nose felt even more sour. Then, the rough man Zhurong came and punched him directly.
Summoning a martial arts virtual image, right?
Da Tengu, right?
The little demon from Fusang, right?
Boom boom boom!
The Zhurong statue threw punches at Da Tengu like it was free, beating him until he cried for his parents. The one who was kinder was the spring god Rushu, who used a willow whip to lash Da Tengu fiercely. There was also life force attached to the whip, which was really a way to disinfect him while beating him.
The beaten Da Tengu cried for his parents and hated the shadow assassin Lan who summoned him.
You should know that the land of China is a forbidden land for monsters in their Fuso country. You should know that any small monster from China would be like a top god in Fuso country.
For example, the Yamata-no-Orochi, which is known as the ultimate monster in their Fuso country, is actually the monster Xiangliu in the Chinese Classic of Mountains and Seas. When Dayu was controlling floods, Xiangliu caused a storm and was beheaded by Dayu. The Xiangliu fled to the East China Sea and arrived in Fuso, where it became the Fuso country, a terrifying existence capable of destroying a country.
This is the foundation of China. There are at least dozens of monsters like Xiangliu in the entire Shanhaijing. If all of them ran to Fusang, this poor little country would be destroyed!
Monsters like Daitengu are far inferior to the Yamata no Orochi in level, so in the eyes of ancient gods like Zhurong, they are just small monsters that are not worthy of being on the stage.
By the way, let me insert a piece of gossip here. According to the Shanhaijing, Xiangliu was the younger brother of the water god Gonggong. Zhurong had a great battle with the water god Gonggong in the past, and he defeated Gonggong. From this, we can deduce how much pressure Da Tiangou felt when facing Zhurong.
The legendary world-destroying monster in their Fusang country, when he had nine heads in his heyday, was still a younger brother of Gonggong, who was defeated by Zhurong. As for him, Daitengu, he was just a younger brother in front of Yamata no Orochi.
In other words, you let Gonggong's little brother's little brother deal with Zhurong?
Well, Da Tengu was beaten really badly, and as the injury on Da Tengu broke out, it instantly backfired on the shadow assassin. The shadow assassin was directly injured and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"puff..."
Blood flowed from the corner of Lan's mouth. Chen Jie looked at Lan's miserable appearance without any reaction. Instead, he took action directly and grabbed one of her arms. With a click, he broke the arm.
Lan then raised his knee, wanting to use it to hit Chen Jie's chest. Seeing this, Chen Jie stretched out his hand and used the bone-splitting technique that Wu Hong had taught him.
Click, click, click…
Lan's kneecap was dislocated in an instant. Seeing Lan's miserable appearance, Chen Jie grabbed her neck and said, "Tell me, do you have any last words?"
After hearing this, Lan's face turned red. She looked at Chen Jie and said, "You drugged me. This is not a fair victory!"
Chen Jie heard this and said, "Haha, that's all you want to say."
"You are a grown man, but you are not fair in dealing with a woman like me. Aren't you Chinese the most particular about giving way to women? Don't you feel ashamed?"
Lan interrogated Chen Jie.
Chen Jie laughed and said, "Why should we be modest? We Chinese are modest towards kind women, and you are obviously a bad person. For a woman like you, we will not hold back at all. Do you have anything else to say?"
Lan tried to show a charming smile and said, "Haha, Chen Jiusi, how about I make a deal with you?"
After hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Lan and said, "What deal?"
"I'll use my body to exchange for my life."
Lan said with great effort, and Chen Jie sneered after hearing this: "Body, do you think I will lack women?"
Lan heard this and said, "Haha, a man of your status will definitely not lack women, but you have never tasted our Fusang women. We can, but you Chinese women can't. Don't you want to give it a try?"
Lan said this with her eyes as charming as silk, which was very seductive.
Chen Jie looked at Lan and said, "That's a very good suggestion. In fact, I have heard a lot about your Fusang women. If I have the chance in the future, I can ride my horse to your Fusang country and taste your women. As for you, forget it. It's too dangerous!"
Lan heard this with a mocking look on his face: "So, you are scared? Or it's not possible!"
If other young men were provoked by a woman like this, they might really get carried away, but Chen Jiusi would not. Chen Jiusi looked at Lan and said, "So this is your last words, right? Very sarcastic, you can leave with peace of mind."
Chen explained as he put more force on his hands. Feeling his neck becoming more and more suffocated, Lan suddenly shouted, "Wait... I still have something to exchange for my life!"
"Um?"
Chen Jie was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Lan and said, "What is that?"
"Ahem, let me go first, ahem..."
Lan tried desperately to breathe. Chen Jie looked at her. Lan knew that she would not be able to survive unless she took out something good. She looked at Chen Jie and said, "It's about the princess."
Hmm!
As soon as these words came out, Chen Jie immediately let go of his hand, about Yaya.
With a bang, Lan fell to the ground. He then covered his throat and coughed desperately, cough, cough, cough...
After hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Lan and said, "Tell me, if you dare to tell a lie, I will definitely make you live a life worse than death!"
Lan then said, "Ahem... I'll tell you, but you have to promise not to kill me, or I won't tell you even if I die!"
Chen Jie looked at Lan and said, "If you don't tell me, then you don't know how cruel the punishments of the Han people are. I have a man named Zhou Junchen under my command, a cruel official who particularly likes to torture people. One of his punishments is perfect for you."
"What punishment?"
Lan looked at Chen Jie and asked. Chen Jie laughed and said, "It seems to be called dragging intestines!"
"They hang a weight on your anus, and then hoist you up high. As soon as they let go, the weight will drag your intestines down with it."
"That must be a wonderful view."
"Baga, you, how can you be so perverted!"
Lan was frightened by this terrible punishment, his eyes widened, and Chen Jie said: "Don't be nervous, this is still my subordinate, one of the thirty-six major punishments, in addition to this there are seventy-two minor punishments, a total of one hundred and eight kinds of punishment, there will always be one that will satisfy you, so do you want to tell me directly, or let me ask you to tell me?"
Lan looked at Chen Jie and said, "Even if you torture me and make me feel miserable, I will not tell you the secret. Moreover, this secret concerns the princess. If you don't know it in time, I'm afraid you will live in pain for the rest of your life. Chen Jiusi, do you want to gamble?"
Lan was determined to take it all. She would be in trouble if she stuck her head out, and she would be in trouble if she hid her head. If Chen Jiusi couldn't give her a way to survive, she would rather die than reveal the secret.
As for suffering a little torture, that was nothing. In order to learn the skills, she was toyed with by her master and six uncles for three days and three nights before she was finally qualified to learn the skills.
The entire learning process was also quite tragic. She grew up in torture, and after she grew into a qualified Koga ninja, the first thing she did was to kill her master and the six old uncles and aunts.
Because of the abnormal environment she grew up in, she has become abnormal enough, so come on.
She clenched her teeth. As long as Chen Jiusi didn't agree to her, she would rather die than tell him.
Chen Jie looked at Lan like this, his eyes slightly fixed as he said, "Okay, I can spare your life, but I will destroy your martial arts. This is the bottom line."
"Destroy my martial arts!"
Lan was stunned, and then looked at Chen Jie and was about to speak, but Chen Jie said, "If you don't agree to this, then you can die with your secret!"
Lan looked at Chen Jie's resolute attitude, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "Okay, if you swear to destroy my martial arts and not to harm my life, I will say, swear on your wife!"
Chen Jie narrowed his eyes, and Lan said, "I heard that you love your wife the most, so swear on your wife!"
Chen Jie didn't say anything. He looked at Lan and said, "Okay, I swear, I will only destroy your cultivation and never take your life, otherwise your family will die."
"Can you tell me now?"
Chen Jie looked at Lan and asked. Lan looked at what Chen Jie said, and after a moment's silence, he said, "Okay, then I'll tell you what you want to know."
"Do you know who Princess Zhao Ya's fiancé is?"
After asking this question, Lan looked at Chen Jie.
"I don't know. Who is it?"
In fact, Chen Jie has always been curious about Zhao Ya's fiancé. Who could make King Ruyang attach so much importance to him and even regard him as a top priority? However, Chen Jie also has some guesses of his own.
The man who could marry Princess Zhao Ya must be someone of equal status, so he could be no more than some princes or younger princes from various places.
It is even possible that he could become the future leader of any of the top sects.
Chen Jie had a rough idea in his mind.
At this time, Lan looked at Chen Jie and said, "I guess what you are thinking is nothing more than the prince and the prince's son, right?"
Chen Jie said: "Yeah."
Lan said, "No, think about it carefully. If it was an ordinary prince, or a prince's son, why would the King of Ruyang, who guards half of Jiangnan, go to such great lengths to find out that you and the princess are in love, and send me to kill you to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Chen Jie was stunned when he heard this and asked, "You mean, that person's identity can make King Ruyang feel afraid?"
Lan looked at Chen Jie and said, "That's right, that person's status is too high. There is no one in the world with a higher status than him!"
Chen Jie's expression changed and he said, "Emperor?!"
Lan glanced at Chen Jie after hearing this, and then said with a playful smile on his face: "Yes, it is the emperor of your Daqian, Emperor Shun!"
Chen Jie's eyes suddenly widened and he said, "Don't lie to me. Emperor Shun is almost fifty this year. He is almost the same age as Prince Ruyang. Moreover, Emperor Shun and Prince Ruyang are cousins. He is the princess's uncle. How can he marry the princess?"
After hearing this, Lan looked at Chen Jie with some confusion and said, "You are not shocked by his identity, but by his generation relationship with the princess?"
Chen Jie looked at Lan and said, "Of course. Did you know that they can't get married before they are out of the fifth degree of mourning?"
"Why?"
Lan looked at Chen Jie with confusion.
"Your emperor lost his queen ten years ago, and he never remarried because he wanted to wait for Princess Yaya to grow up."
"Princess Yaya was born with the fate of a phoenix. Her phoenix blood is extremely yin and gentle. Whoever marries her will be replenished by her phoenix blood and live longer. This is what your emperor dreams of."
"Moreover, a child born with pure phoenix blood is born with a noble destiny and can inherit the throne of the Daqian Empire in the future. Your current emperor is very dissatisfied with his several sons!"
"So, why can't you marry her?"
Lan analyzed that Zhao Ya was born with a phoenix destiny and was a member of the royal family. She was the most suitable candidate for the queen to give birth to the most outstanding heir to Daqian. If Zhao Ya had not been only nine years old ten years ago when the queen of Emperor Shun died, he should have married Zhao Ya into the palace and inherited the throne of queen.
Yes, it's crazy. A cousin in his 50s is going to marry his niece. It's so dreamy.
Chen Jie couldn't accept it, but it seemed normal to people in Lan or Daqian.
What Chen Jie couldn't accept was not the fact that a man in his fifties married a teenage girl. Although this was very subversive, it was still within Chen Jie's tolerance.
What he couldn't stand was that his uncle wanted to marry his niece. This was totally unethical!
But what Chen Jie couldn't stand was perfectly normal for Lan. In Lan's words, the royal family of Fusang had been intermarrying within the clan for thousands of years in order to ensure the purity of their bloodline and not be tainted.
The Emperor's lineage is made up of brothers and sisters!
Therefore, she did not think there was anything wrong with this matter. What she wanted to tell Chen Jie was that the man Zhao Ya was going to marry was the emperor, who was of an extremely noble status!
Chen Jie was concerned that his beloved Zhao Ya was forced to marry her cousin, who was a fifty-year-old old man.
As for saying that the other party is the emperor, what's wrong with the emperor? He, Chen Jiusi, was fighting the emperor.
If you don't fight the emperor, what's the point of rebelling?
No, I have to rescue Yaya myself. I can't let Yaya suffer this.
Thinking of this, Chen Jie looked at Lan and asked, "What does the princess think about this matter?"
Lando: "What can a woman think about this kind of thing? She can only accept her fate. But don't you think it's stupid to ask this question?"
Chen Jie was silent after hearing this. Yes, how stupid! The princess clearly loved him, but now she was forcing him to marry the emperor. What was so great about the emperor?
Chen Jie frowned and made up his mind to save the princess.
Thinking of this, Chen Jie looked at Lan and said, "So this is the only valuable information you have. It's not enough to save your life!"
After hearing this, Lan fell silent, looked at Chen Jie and said, "The princess will be getting married in five days. If you rush back so slowly, I'm afraid you won't be able to see the princess for the last time."
"What!"
Chen Jie's eyes widened when he heard this. What did you say?
Lan looked at Chen Jie and said, "I said that in five days, on September 28, the princess will get married."
"Why, how could it be so fast!"
Chen Jie's eyes suddenly widened when he heard this. At this time, Lan said, "Is it fast? The last time you made a scene in Longxing Prefecture, do you remember that the court sent Master Kangba from the Eight Guards of the Qipchaq to Longxing Prefecture?"
Kham Master?
Chen Jie thought about it and remembered that Song Yuanqiao had been confronted by a Mulan master on the long street outside Sima Mansion. So, the Eight Guards of the Qincha Army came to discuss the marriage of the princess?
Lan said, "That's right. Master Kangba of the Eight Guards of the Qincha Army was the one who issued the imperial decree to summon Zhao Ya to the palace for the wedding. The date was set for September 28th."
"September 28th!"
Chen Jie's gaze suddenly froze, his eyes filled with murderous intent. There were still five days left.
At this moment, Chen Jie suddenly felt a sense of urgency. In five days, he needed to rush from Wushan to Longxing Prefecture, which was thousands of miles away. The journey was not short!
Even if Chen Jie tried his best to hurry, he would probably only be able to reach Longxing Prefecture given the speed of the horse.
Thinking of this, Chen Jie gritted his teeth and said, "Even if he has to stay up all night, he must rush to Longxing Prefecture. If he cannot rescue the princess, he will probably regret it for the rest of his life."
Chen Jie thought about it and looked at Lan. Lan looked at Chen Jie and said, "Can this news of mine buy back a life?"
Chen Jie said: "Yes."
After saying that, Chen Jie slapped Lan's dantian directly with his palm, and power gushed out instantly.
"puff!"
Lan spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned pale the next moment. He raised his hand and found that it was very difficult to lift his arm, and it was difficult to release his strength. All his skills were directly destroyed by Chen Jiusi.
Feeling her weak body, Lan looked pale and looked at Chen Jie: "Can you let me go now?"
Chen Jie said: "Run for your life. Next time we meet, I won't let you go so easily."
Lan stood up, dragging his crippled leg, and limping into the depths of the woods.
Chen Jie looked at Lan's leaving back and did not take any action. After all, he had made a vow. He did not want his family to take any risk at all, so Chen Jie would not take the initiative to hunt down Lan.
Not long after Lan left, Chen Jie also turned and headed down the mountain. At this time, he met Jin Yanzi who was coming to support him on the road.
Jin Yanzi saw Chen Jie and clasped his fists and said, "Boss."
Chen Jie said, "Oh, Jin Yanzi, how is Brother Ni doing?"
Jin Yanzi said: "It's okay, everything has been arranged, and Madam Hua has been rescued."
After hearing this, Chen Jie nodded slightly and said, "Well, OK, just rescue Sister Hua."
Jin Yanzi looked at Chen Jie and asked, "Where is the murderer?"
Chen Jie heard this and said, "Oh, I made a deal with her. I destroyed her cultivation and she promised me not to kill her!"
Chen Jie emphasized the word "I". Jin Yanzi was very smart. She understood immediately after hearing this. Then she said without saying anything more to Chen Jiusi, "Boss, I have something else to do. I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, he raised his sword and waved his hand for his men to follow him. Chen Jie then said to Jin Yanzi, "I will leave here today. You just need to follow General Ni and lead the army back."
Upon hearing this, Jin Yanzi clasped her fists and said, "Yes!"
After saying this, Jin Yanzi turned around and went into the woods. The gang leader promised not to kill the murderer, but she herself did not agree.
Thinking of this, Jin Yanzi led her men to chase after him.
Chen Jie walked directly down the mountain. On the way, he met Ni Wenjun and Hua Sanniang. Chen Jie immediately clasped his fists and said, "Sister Hua, please don't take what happened just now to heart. I also..."
After hearing this, Hua Sanniang said, "Jiu Si, it's unorthodox to say these things. Your elder brother Ni told me everything. Fortunately, Jiu Si, you were quick-witted. Otherwise, your elder brother Ni and I would be separated forever."
Chen Jie heard this and said, "Sister Hua, please stop making fun of me. I was forced into this situation and had no other choice."
At this time, Ni Wenjun asked: "Where is the murderer?"
Chen Jie said: "Oh, I have destroyed his cultivation. Jin Yanzi and the others are chasing him. There shouldn't be any big problems."
Ni Wenjun said: "If your cultivation is wasted, then there shouldn't be any problem."
"By the way, Brother Ni, I have something to tell you."
Chen Jie said this directly to Ni Wenjun, who was stunned when he heard this and said, "You and I are brothers, if you have anything to say, just tell me. If the elder brother can do it, he will definitely do it for the younger brother."
"It's like this, big brother..."
…
"Here!"
In the woods, Lan was running away in a panic, but was caught up by the pursuers. At this time, a Qinglongwei soldier, whom Lan had never even looked at before, kicked her down.
Lan fell to the ground at this moment, turned around in embarrassment, and saw that it was a male soldier, so he tore open his clothes on his chest and said, "I know I can't escape today, let me die as a well-fed ghost, give it to me!"
The soldiers of Qinglongwei were all dumbfounded. Is this the woman from Fusang? Her breasts are so white!
They could hardly move their eyes away, but at this moment, a big hand suddenly slapped the distracted soldier.
The soldier turned around and saw Golden Swallow.
"Commander Jin!"
Jin Yanzi said: "You step back first."
At this time, Jin Yanzi looked at Lan, especially her wanton appearance, and said, "Are all the daughters of your Fusang country so lowly?"
"Despicable? Hehehe..."
After hearing Jin Yanzi's words, Lan immediately sneered, then looked at Jin Yanzi and said, "Am I lowly? Or are you lowly? You all promised to let me go, so why did you come to kill me? Are all you Chinese so untrustworthy?"
Jin Yanzi heard this and said, "Our leader promised not to kill you, but I didn't agree. Why do you say I don't keep my word?"
"Besides, you don't really think you can save your life after making such a big mistake."
Lando said, "Let me go, I'll give you whatever you want."
Jin Yanzi laughed when she heard this: "I am also a woman, what can you give me? Besides, I don't want anything but your life!"
Well!
After saying that, Jin Yanzi stabbed Lan's heart directly with a knife.
