Matchmaker system [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 21

The raindrops dripped on the glazed tiles, fell along the cracks, and formed a fine rain curtain under the eaves.

The howling cold wind poured into the long corridor, when Jiang Ling pushed the door out, the wind blew his face, he could not help shrinking his body, shivering.

In the past few days, he "took care" of Emperor Zhaoyang day and night, although he didn't put any effort into it, but in order to put on a show, he didn't eat, drink or sleep for several days, and his body was deteriorating, so he was groggy.

Although the wind was cold, it at least made Jiang Ling sober.

"Host, there is a team of guards following you." The system discovered the situation and quickly reported it to Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling replied indifferently: "It is probably the person sent by Prime Minister Jiang to protect his daughter, so follow along."

"Yes. The palace is in such a mess now, it's good to have someone to protect it."

Through the rain curtain, when Jiang Ling glimpsed a place, he paused for a moment.

The sky was gloomy, and the palace with carved railings and painted buildings was shrouded in mist and rain. It was very compact, but there was one place that was incompatible with the whole palace.

The beams and columns carved with exquisite patterns were scorched black one by one, and the place where the plaque should have been placed was blank. Several palaces collapsed, and the brightly colored glazed tiles were smashed to the ground, piled up with the waste rocks.Among the exquisite pavilions, it looks like an old man who has encountered a catastrophe, which makes people feel sad for no reason.

The system has been following Jiang Ling, and the scriptures stopped on his shoulder: "It seems to be the place where the fire last night."

"It's a coincidence that the rain came, and it saved the time to put out the fire." Jiang Ling smiled indifferently, thinking to himself, probably the bloodstains from last night were almost washed away.As long as the corpse is picked up, it can be regarded as nothing happened.

Although the details are a little subtle, the world is firmly developing according to the established routine.

Jiang Cheng joined forces with Duan Wang Meixuan. After Emperor Zhaoyang was "seriously ill and bedridden", they took advantage of a big fire to clear the guards in the palace who had not surrendered, and at the same time took away the seals and used Zhaoyang In the name of the emperor, a memorial was issued to stabilize the court.

From today onwards, Emperor Zhaoyang was completely under house arrest.The entire court will be divided into two factions, one faction obeys the order of the leader of the ministers, Prime Minister Jiang, and the other faction follows the lead of the regent Mei Xuan.

Logically speaking, Mei Xuan, the rightful orthodox heir, should have the upper hand. However, Prime Minister Jiang is equally tough. He has a daughter who is Emperor Zhaoyang's favorite concubine, and Jieyu, who is attached to him and is pregnant. Even without these, Emperor Zhaoyang still has a few young children, so it is all right to support the young emperor to ascend the throne.

Who wins and who loses is still unknown.

Jiang Ling thought about it, and decided to go back to Xiefangting to find a thicker dress to put on, and then take a good rest. If he catches a cold, others will suffer at most, but he is walking on the edge of life and death.

Along the way, Jiangling didn't meet a maiden, only guards in iron armor.

These guards were probably from Prime Minister Jiang or King Duan. After seeing Jiang Ling coming out, people with winking eyes recognized his identity, but no one dared to question him.

After walking for a while, Jiang Ling suddenly stopped and asked, "Xiaohong, did you hear anything?"

"Yes, it's right there..." beside.

Before finishing his words, Jiang Ling turned a corner and walked along a remote place.

Continuous rain, through the eaves, wet the corners of Jiangling's skirt under the corridor.As Jiang Ling got closer, he heard laughter, which was vaguely mixed with the sound of beating and scolding and the cry of a woman.

Thinking of something, Jiang Ling's expression changed and he accelerated his speed.

When they reached the entrance of the corridor, a petite figure rushed over, Jiang Ling sideways avoided the shadow, and the figure rushed to the ground, and Jiang Ling quickly brought it back.

"Don't touch me! Ah!"

The man was frightened and immediately screamed, his arms and legs slapping wildly.

Jiang Ling let go in time, and took a few steps back with his arms folded, the man fell to the ground with his buttocks.

"It's me, Concubine Xi." Jiang Ling said.

It was a little Gong'e, her clothes were messy, one sleeve was torn open, revealing a white arm, because of Jiang Ling's voice, the little Gong'e looked up timidly.

very familiar...

When Jiang Ling thought this way, the little Gong'e rubbed her painful buttocks, cried out, and knelt in front of Jiang Ling and begged: "Concubine Xi, please save my mother."

She whimpered and described: "Last night a group of people rushed in, armed with knives, killed several people, shed a lot of blood, and then locked us together. Taking advantage of their inattention, the empress brought a few servants He rushed out, wanting to argue with His Majesty. The slaves came out with the empress, and they were discovered..."

"Who is your master?" Jiang Ling interrupted her.

"Concubine Li..."

The little Gong'e was about to say more, but Jiang Ling lifted her footsteps and stood in front of her, a shadow fell that just covered her whole body, and the shivering little Gong'e suddenly felt a lot more at ease.

Two armored guards stood in front of Jiang Ling, they were here to arrest people, they were startled by Jiang Ling's turning around, and then salivated.

Even with a slightly sick appearance, these guards have never seen such a good-looking person before, just looking up like this, they feel that their bones are brittle.

"Which palace did you escape from?" One of them came back to his senses, his eyes fixed on Jiang Ling, "Do you know that private escape is a serious crime of beheading?"

The other figured it out, the two looked at each other, and began to threaten and lure: "Now that the palace is under the control of the Prime Minister, do you think you are still some noble person?"

"Now in this palace. No one cares if there are one or two people missing."

"It's better to take good care of me and take good care of me, so I'll let you go this time."

"..."

Amidst the buzzing sound, Jiang Ling's eyes were clear: "Prime Minister Jiang?"

Her lips curled up slightly: "I, Xiefangting, Concubine Xi, I want to see if you lose your head or I die!"

After saying that, Jiang Ling walked towards the two of them unhurriedly.

One of the two guards was shocked and the other was annoyed.

"I really take myself seriously. If I don't let you know how good you are, you will... ummmm."

A pair of rough hands passed behind him, tightly covering the man's mouth, even though he danced and danced, he never let go, he could only open his eyes and stare suspiciously.

But his companion was in a cold sweat, nodding and bowing towards Jiangling: "Concubine Xi, please forgive me. The Prime Minister ordered the people in the palaces to watch over the palace. This palace lady escaped without permission, and she has violated the great prohibition. We are also obeying orders. If there is any offend……"

Without looking back, Jiang Ling drew the long knife from the guard's waist as he passed by the two of them.

The light of the knife was cold, reflecting a pair of black eyes.

The blade of this long knife was too close to the two guards, the guards froze on the spot, their hairs bristling, fearful, but also thinking about how to deal with Jiang Ling, lest he suddenly go crazy.

Who knew that Jiang Ling left directly in the drizzle, and when he stepped out of the arch made of flowers and vines, he just said: "What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and follow."

Obviously, this sentence was not addressed to the two guards.

"Oh." Xiao Gong'e wiped her tears with her other sleeve, and followed behind.

Jiang Ling waited for a while, and when the little Gong'e arrived, he supported her arm and said, "Guide the way."

"Yes."

When Jiang Ling saw Concubine Li again, how could this gorgeous concubine have her usual posture?Like a shrew in the market, she got entangled with several guards, biting and kicking.

"I want to see Your Majesty, I want you all to lose your heads—"

Come on, this one hasn't figured out the status yet.

She bit her arm, the leader was enraged, and slapped her directly. Concubine Li was dizzy from the beating, and directly hit the pillar. Jiang Ling felt a toothache when he heard this.

The people around were booing, but Concubine Li stood up staggeringly, rushed up full of resentment, scratched and scratched at the face of the leader, and there were a few more scratches in the blink of an eye.

Looking at this posture, this set of movements seems to be repeated several times.

Apparently, the leader suffered a lot and scolded the crazy woman.He was completely enraged, and after another piece of skin was scratched, he slapped Concubine Li with his palm.

This is not the previous few slaps, if she received this slap, Concubine Li would probably be sick on the bed for a period of time.

When the heavily calloused hand was about to land on Li Fei's shoulder, a cold front struck and blocked the middle of the two of them.If he continued to strike, his palm would hit the blade, and the result would be that his hand was bloody and bloody, and he stopped abruptly in mid-air.

Concubine Li, who was about to jump forward, was also taken aback and jumped back.

"Which bastard is it..."

When the leader turned his head, his voice was stuck in his throat. It just so happened that the leader recognized Jiang Ling's face.Now that he listens to the prime minister, he can't offend this person who has just made great achievements and is also the prime minister's own daughter.

"You know me?" Jiang Ling's hand holding the knife was extremely steady.

"The commander of the right side of the frontier defense..."

"I'm not interested in knowing who you are." Jiang Ling interrupted him, "Since you know me, it's easy."

With a hook of his finger, Jiang Ling nodded to Concubine Li, whose disheveled hair and messy clothes: "Take care of her."

As soon as these words came out, all the people present looked strange.After all, isn't it because of them that Concubine Li looks miserable now?

Concubine Li jumped up first: "Jiang Ling, are you crazy? Do you know how they humiliated me just now?"

Even the little Gong'e knelt on the ground with a plop: "Concubine Xi, it is absolutely impossible."

"Be quiet." Seeing Concubine Li's mood swings, Jiang Ling raised his eyebrows, looked Li Concubine up and down, and said honestly, "You don't have any backing now, they made you go through all this trouble, it's very good for you."

"..."

Concubine Li was stunned for a while before asking tremblingly, "What happened? Why are everyone under house arrest?"

"Think with your head, anything can happen." Jiang Ling felt a headache and rubbed between his brows.

The drizzle clung to his naked skin, and his clothes were icy cold. Jiang Ling felt uncomfortable again when the cold wind blew, his whole body fluctuated from hot to cold, and even carrying a knife became a burden.

The person in front of him seemed to have said something else, but Jiang Ling got a little impatient, threw the long knife, and with a crisp sound, Jiang Ling said, "Stop making noise."

Concubine Li pursed her lips.

"Go back to me."

"Why?" Concubine Li sneered, wanting to argue with Jiang Ling, but when she heard Jiang Ling's next sentence, she couldn't help but silence.

Jiang Ling swept across the group of guards and sneered, "If something happened to her, I'll take your head off."

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Ling left a few people behind, turned around and left, his pace was even a little hasty.

"Host, you are in a very bad condition right now!"

Jiang Ling's headache was about to split, so he didn't answer.This section of the journey was considered calm, but the scene that followed was a bit bloody. From time to time, there were soldiers coming and going, piled up scattered corpses on wooden boards and passed by the edge of Jiangling.

Probably because there were too many winking people in the front, Jiang Ling bumped into the guards who were greedy for his face.

Surrounded by a few big and three rough men, Jiang Ling had a cold face, and the obscene words came to his ears, and the noise was extremely loud.

These guards killed a lot of people last night, and felt that it was no big deal that one or two concubines in the harem disappeared or were humiliated.After all, Emperor Zhaoyang was under house arrest, and the sky in the palace had changed. In their eyes, the entire harem became a little sheep at their mercy.Before Prime Minister Jiang gave a clear order, they could take advantage of the chaos and do whatever they wanted.

The lustful guard couldn't bear it any longer, put his hands on Jiang Ling's shoulders, and began to tear his clothes.

Usually at this time, the bullied little beauty should have cried and begged for mercy.

However, Jiang Ling's expression was cold, and his voice was indifferent: "How long are you going to hide? Come out!"

As soon as the voice fell, several people came out from the roof, behind the stone pillars, behind the rockery, and around the corner. After being called out, they stood neatly behind Jiangling and saluted, looking very disciplined.

Jiang Ling turned around: "Settled it for me."

"Yes, ma'am."

The few people surrounding Jiangling were taken aback and stammered, "Commander Xu, I..."

Before he finished speaking, the long sword cut his neck sharply, and the man who tore Jiang Ling's robe covered his neck with his hands, opened his mouth wide but could not make a sound.

"boom!"

A dead body fell to the ground, and the surroundings were suddenly silent.

Jiang Ling blinked, pushed away the people in front of him, and walked away.

After walking a few steps, his eyes fell into darkness, Jiang Ling swayed a few times, and fell towards the ground.When it landed, it was picked up by a pair of hands.

The one who caught Jiang Ling was a young man, his fingers were warm compared to the cold Jiang Ling, and he held Jiang Ling's hand gently.

"elder sister?"

Jiang Ling felt that his eyelids were extremely heavy, pulling his consciousness to a hazy place, and he could only answer in a low voice: "Yes."

A hand touched his forehead, and Mei Jiu's voice trembled: "Sister, you have a fever."

"It's okay, take me back to Xiefangting..."

Before the words were finished, the whole person fell into darkness.
