In the middle of the night, it rained suddenly in the mountains.

The carriage was bumping forward with difficulty, in stark contrast to the cold rain outside, the heat in Jiang Yun's body collided more and more violently, and there was a faint tendency to be unable to suppress it.

Jiang Yun couldn't control it again, he clenched his cuffs tightly with his fingers, and more and more hot sweat dripped from his temples.

The young prince was tied up with a jade belt, clinging to a strand of black hair hanging down his neck, already drenched in sweat, his skin as white as beautiful jade even faintly showing a transparent color.

This is a very soul-stirring beauty.

It's a pity that it is hidden in the dark and no one can see it.

The long-term turbulence made even a strong and skilled martial artist like Gongsun Yang a little uncomfortable. It felt like his bones were falling apart, not to mention a weak and sick person like Jiang Yun.

Seeing Jiang Yun clenched his cuffs again, his body bent slightly, Fan and Zhou Zhou didn't think about anything else, they just hoped to get through this mountain road as soon as possible and return to the stable official road.

Fortunately, since the diversion, the road has been smooth and smooth, and no other dangers or obstacles have been encountered.

"Has the pigeon come back yet?"

Jiang Yun suddenly opened his mouth and asked a very soft question.

Gongsun Yang said no.

After finishing speaking, he was taken aback. It had been an hour since the carrier pigeons flew out, and when they sent the letter, they had just left Chen Guoguo. According to the normal speed of the carrier pigeons in Flying Eagle Pavilion, it would only take half an hour at most to go back and forth. .

Jiang Yun frowned.

It seems that, as he guessed, something uncontrollable may have happened in Chen Guoguo's capital.

If the other party has already succeeded and simply changed his course, will he really be able to reach Muyun Pass smoothly tonight?

Fan Zhou obviously saw what he was thinking, and said: "The pigeons in Flying Eagle Pavilion are guarded by special personnel. If there is an accident with the pigeons, Flying Eagle Pavilion will send out an early warning signal. General Yunhuai will also be there in time. Your Highness does not need to worry too much after getting the news."

Jiang Yun nodded.

For some reason, there was always a trace of uneasiness floating in my heart for no reason.

This kind of emotion has not appeared in him for a long time.

Until accompanied by the heat flow in the body, it was hooked out of the distant muscle memory again.

Jiang Yun leaned his body against the car window, trying to relieve the rampant heat flow in his body through the coldness pouring in from the car window.At this time, a subtle sound suddenly passed through the heavy raindrops, stuck to the edge of the car window, and slid past the ear.

The vigilance and acumen cultivated since childhood made Jiang Yun's shoulders straighten.

"not good!"

"There is a situation!"

Gongsun Yang drew his sword and turned over almost at the same time.

Whoosh, whoosh, countless cold arrows shot from the dark night, the horses neighed, the carriage bumped, and the guards shouted in unison to escort them, but in a very short time, their throats were strangled, and they were reduced to cold corpses.

This is obviously a well-arranged trap and assassination.

The other party even thought of this step.

Jiang Yun's heart sank.

The carriage shook violently, and as the horse driving the horse fell to the ground, it finally fell sharply and stopped moving forward.The only remaining guards tightly protected Jiang Yun's compartment.

Gongsun Yang threw a knife to Fan Zhou: "I'll go out, you stay inside to protect His Highness."

Fan Zhou, a scribe, really raised that heavy long knife, stood in front of Jiang Yun, and solemnly agreed.

Gongsun Yang didn't hesitate any longer, and turned out the car window with his sword.Even though he was mentally prepared, Gongsun Yang was shocked and felt a little ominous when he saw the killers with iron bows and long knives in all directions.

Such an assassination scale is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary nobles and ministers, and it is likely to come from a professional assassin organization.

Gongsun Yang was born as a ranger, with high martial arts skills. With a loud shout, he jumped into the rain curtain against the dense arrow rain, and fought with those killers in black clothes and black scarves.

He was one against ten, and he didn't lose the slightest bit of wind. In a short time, he beheaded more than ten assassins under the sword.

Seeing that he was a formidable character, the assassins didn't dare to be careless at the moment. They continued to shoot back arrows to delay his speed, and at the same time adopted the strategy of encircling him. A dozen assassins attacked from front, back, left, and right together to block his retreat.

A wisp of hot sweat dripped from the corner of Jiang Yun's forehead again, and those eyes, which were as clear as water jade, quietly stared at the closed and dark space in the carriage, unprecedentedly calm.

Gongsun Yang attracted most of the firepower, and the pressure on the guards suddenly eased.

Fan Zhou raised his knife and opened the car door, ordered the guards to replace the remaining horses with the carriage, picked up the muddy whip that fell on the mountain road, slapped the horse's buttocks, and drove along the narrow road driven by Gongsun Yang , rushed forward.

However, there were too many assassins, and this method did not last long.

Fan Zhou was shot by an arrow in the arm, and fell directly from the carriage.

The carriage, which lost its driver, was still running at a high speed. After an unknown period of time, the sound of shouting and killing gradually disappeared, and the sound of dense rain came, accompanied by a tragic neighing from the horse, and the carriage stopped still again.

The sound of rain became clearer.

Accompanied by the sound of the wind, the sound of swaying leaves, and the deep and invisible murderous intent.

"His Royal Highness, please get out of the car."

Someone shouted something.

Jiang Yun let go of the fingers holding the sleeve robe, smoothed the hem of the clothes, got up, opened the door, and slowly stepped out of the carriage with a very elegant posture.

The rain immediately scrambled to fall on his blue robe and blue headband.

With his black pupils open, he stood silently in the rain, looking at the open area halfway up the mountain, and dozens of killer figures standing around with knives.

The killers probably didn't expect that such a jade-like, frail and shockingly beautiful person would come out of the car, and they were stunned for a moment.

Jiang Yun even raised his eyes, and asked calmly, "Are you here to kill me?"

"Do not."

"The order we received was to capture you alive."

Shocked by this extreme beauty, one of the killers responded with an unprecedented rough voice.

Jiang Yun nodded.

Said: "Thank you."

Since it is captured alive, there will be scruples.

For him, enough is enough.

The rain had soaked his blue hair, his jade face, washed by the rain, was as beautiful and holy as Avalokitesvara.

He blinked, then slowly pulled out a soft sword as thin as silver from his waist, and said, "Offend."

**

Knowing that Jiang Yun didn't go in the direction of Jiangdu, but went out of the capital of Chen Guo and headed northeast all the way, Sui Heng immediately realized that the place Jiang Yun was really going to was Muyun Pass.

"Unexpectedly, he is quite smart."

Chen Qi took the initiative to take over the task of intercepting and killing, as the first nomination certificate dedicated to the Sui Kingdom.

As Chen Qi promised, Chen Qi not only provided important military information about Feiying Pavilion, the number one intelligence agency in Jiangnan, but also provided core information about the other five Jiangnan countries.

Sui Heng looked at this person with great admiration, and couldn't help asking with a smile: "Second Master Chen has this talent, even if he is in the south of the Yangtze River, he should do something, why is he willing to be driven by loneliness?"

Chen Qi's eyes were sharp, and he said: "A good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a good minister chooses a master to serve. For Ji Cai, His Highness is the Ming Master that Ji Cai has been looking forward to for a long time."

"That's right, I've heard that all the officials and celebrities in the south of the Yangtze River are all respected by Jiang Rongyu, who is 'virtuous and famous all over the world'. Why don't you go to be loyal to him?"

Chen Qi said: "That's just a false name he deliberately created. In fact, this person is narrow-minded, of low character, without talent and virtue. The so-called good name and virtue are all disguised, and he is not worthy of being the master of Jiangnan. And His Royal Highness has made great military exploits, is wise and ruthless, and is the master of the world that Ji Cai wants to pledge allegiance to."

Chen Qi also expressed that he was willing to come forward to persuade the other five countries to allegiance to the Sui Kingdom, so that the Jiang Kingdom would be completely isolated and helpless.

Sui Heng sealed him as a military adviser on the spot.

This is already the highest position in the military of various countries except for the commander.

Because of the key information provided by Chen Qi, several important strongholds of Feiying Pavilion suffered heavy losses one after another, and the transmission of news from the front line of Muyunguan and Jiangdu was also cut off. Taking advantage of the fact that Jiang Guo's army hadn't reacted, they crossed the river overnight and took Muyun Pass directly.

Muyun Pass is equivalent to the gateway to the northern border of Jiang Kingdom. As long as Muyun Pass is taken, Jiangdu is just around the corner.

Sui Heng's most trusted confidant is Xu Qiao.

Xu Qiaodao: "The Jiang Rongyu that Chen Qi said seems to be quite different from the rumors. Could it be that this Jiang Yun is really just a hypocrite with a vain name?"

"But this person can use the Golden Orchid League to unite the six countries in the south of the Yangtze River closely, and repeatedly undermine His Highness's plan for the Southern Expedition. He is definitely not a worthless idiot."

Sui Heng said disdainfully: "Even if he's not an idiot, he's just a treacherous villain full of scheming."

It was rare for Fan Qi to see his master commenting on someone so gnashing of teeth, so he quietly asked Xu Qiao, "Your Highness seems to hate that Prince Jiang very much."

Xu Qiao nodded: "Master has fought in all directions and won all battles, but he has suffered several losses at the hands of the prince of the Jiang Kingdom. Two years ago, in the battle at the Yellow River Ferry, he was almost shot in the right eye by his counselors. Although In the end, the arrow landed on the master's arm, but it also made the master unable to draw the bow for a whole month. The master has never been so humiliated. Last year, the master wanted to take down Jiang Guo, which occupies the northwest fortress of the Yellow River, and this person also resorted to tricks. Threatened to obstruct, almost broke the master's elite vanguard. The master's ambition is the world, and this land in the south of the Yangtze River will sooner or later be included in the territory of the Sui Kingdom. The Liushang Banquet brought together all the countries in the south of the Yangtze River to form the so-called Jinlan League, and the cavalry of the Sui Dynasty had already crossed the Yellow River and drove straight down."

Fan Qi didn't believe it, and snorted, "Isn't this guy the best at using the so-called virtue to win people's hearts? Perhaps, these schemes are all thought up by his group of counselors."

Xu Qiao made sense after thinking about it.

If Jiang Yun is really as virtuous as the rumors say, a talent like Chen Qi would not be so disdainful and contemptuous when mentioning this person, even with strong disgust and jealousy.

"What's your Highness going to do next?"

Sui Heng slowly put away the knife: "Go to Muyun Pass."

With Chen Qi's help, he can lead this team of iron cavalry, cooperate with the Sui army outside the pass, and take down Muyun Pass with the fastest speed and the least casualties.

Both Xu Qiao and Fan Qi lifted their spirits.

When the two were about to leave, Sui Heng frowned suddenly with a strange expression on his face.

"What's wrong, Your Highness?"

Sui Heng looked at Fan Qi sympathetically: "When Gu just came in, what kind of incense did you light in the hall?"

Fan Qi was stunned: "They said that it was something to add to the fun, so that when people are doing things... this subordinate doesn't want to let His Highness relax, just, just..."

"idiot."

In just a short moment, Sui Heng's body was on fire.

Xu Qiao already knew about Fan Qi's arbitrariness in getting Lord Kun from the palace before, and frowned, "Those Kun Lords probably don't have the guts to do so, and it's probably related to the Lord Chen. His move, ahem, should also be to please His Highness."

"This old bastard, if he is still useful, he must be cut to pieces."

Sui Heng clenched his fists and sat down, with a gloomy face, pointing at Fan Qi: "Go and chop off all the heads of those Kunjuns, seal them in a box, and give them to that old thing. Let him eat on the table and sleep Put it next to your pillow and don't throw it away for a moment."

"Yes……"

Even Fan Qi couldn't help shivering when he heard this method.

Before going out, seeing Sui Heng propped himself up, sitting with his head bowed, and the veins on the back of his hands bursting out, he boldly asked in a low voice, "But, do you want to go down and pick some other Kun lords?"

Sui Heng raised his head and gave him a cruel look.

Fan Qi shivered, thinking, what time is this, His Highness is still picking and choosing.

Fan Qi suddenly thought of another person, rolled his eyes, and hurriedly said again: "Why don't you go down and call the prince of Wei?"

This will not insult the identity of His Highness.

Sui Heng took a deep breath and said in a hoarse voice, "Get lost."

Fan Qi had no choice but to leave the hall together with Xu Qiao, and couldn't help but said: "When will you work like this, there is a ready-made 'antidote' but you don't use it, Your Highness doesn't know why you are stubborn, this is clearly a normal demand of men That's all. No matter how good Mr. Yan Qi is, His Highness won't guard his body like a jade for him..."

Xu Qiao glared at him, motioning him not to talk nonsense.

Fan Qi also realized that she had made a slip of the tongue, so she shut up in fright, not daring to say anything more.

And the poor Lord Chen, who just woke up slowly, was whimpering and being served by the palace servants to feed the medicine. When he saw the boxes containing the bloody heads, he rolled his eyes again and passed out.

**

The heavy rain in the mountains continued.

Jiang Yun was dressed in a green shirt, holding a soft sword and standing in the open space halfway up the mountain. The jade belt with black hair was already soaked, and it was pressed against the thin shoulders. Around him were lying dead bodies whose throats had been pierced by a sword.

The rain fell on his quiet eyebrows, washing those warm and beautiful eyes like water jade.An overly gentle and calm demeanor was incompatible with the scarlet stain on his soft sword.

The rest of the killers looked at each other in blank dismay. They were still fan-shaped and scattered around. They obviously didn't expect that the rumored frail and sickly prince of the Jiang Kingdom was hiding such a powerful kung fu.

"Sorry, I can't let you go."

Jiang Yun's figure flashed like fallen leaves in the rain, and the soft sword that swam like a snake had already wrapped around the throat of a person half a foot away. Before he could send it out, he fell to the ground out of breath.

A moment later, there were only corpses left on the huge halfway up the mountain.

Jiang Yun staggered, bit her lip forcibly, and stabilized her figure.

Because of the use of internal force, the rampant heat flow in his body has reached the point where it is difficult to control, and it almost blows his sanity away.Even though it was in the cold and rainy mountains, his skin was as hot as a rock, and he was constantly sweating.

Jiang Yun barely discerned the direction. This is halfway up a mountain, closely connected to a mountain road, and on one side of the mountain road is a bottomless cliff.

Since the other party has carefully set up such an ambush, they will never let him escape easily.

Jiang Yun took a deep breath, walked to the side of the mountain road, took off the jade pendant on his waist that symbolized the identity of the prince of Jiang Kingdom, hung it on a dead tree beside the road, cut off another piece of clothes, stained it with blood, and threw it on the side of the road, Fang looked up After identifying the direction, facing the heavy rain, put away the soft sword, stepped on the muddy mountain road, and headed towards the top of the mountain.

Chen Qi personally brought people after him.

Jiang Guo's guards were all killed, the carriage of Jiang Guo's prince had broken off on the mountain road, and the two accompanying counselors, Gongsun Yang and Fan Yiyi, were seriously injured and fled away, but Jiang Guo's prince, Jiang Yun, was nowhere to be seen.

Soon, his subordinates brought up the jade pendants and pieces of cloth found on the edge of the cliff.

"Prince Jiang Guo has probably fallen off a cliff and died."

The men draw conclusions.

This conclusion is very convincing. The prince of the Jiang Kingdom does not know martial arts, and has lost his fleeing carriage and loyal guards. Facing the vicious killer, he is completely powerless.It is very likely that in the process of fleeing, he panicked and fell off the cliff.

Chen Qi didn't believe it. He didn't believe that Jiang Yun died so easily.

But because all the killers involved in the operation had died, he could not personally verify the matter.

Chen Qi took people to turn over the whole mountain, but still found nothing.

"Second Young Master, do we still have to look for it?"

Standing on the peak of the torrential rain, the confidant asked cautiously.

Chen Qi's eyes were cold: "Take someone to continue searching under the cliff."

Live to see people, die to see corpses.The first nomination certificate he dedicated to the Sui Army must have a tangible result.In this way, his official career in the Sui Kingdom can be unimpeded in the future.

Besides—

He hasn't let this person taste the feeling of being trampled in the mud, how can a person die like this.

Xu Qiao and Fan Qi led a group of heavy cavalry and arrived later.

Chen Qi dismounted to greet them, Xu Qiao smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, you don't need to be too polite. We will be colleagues in the future, so we need to take care of them."

Chen Qi hurriedly said that he didn't dare, glanced around, and asked, "Where is Your Highness?"

Xu Qiao said vaguely: "Your Highness just found a sika deer in the mountains, and suddenly became very interested, and went hunting the deer."

Naturally, Sui Heng wasn't out of his mind to hunt some deer in a rainy day, but because somehow, even after taking the antidote, the hotness still accumulated in his body and couldn't go away.

So he left everyone behind and drove up the mountain alone, galloping in the cold rain.

It is located on the border of Chen country.

And the whole country of Chen was almost under the control of the Sui army.

Sui Heng ran most of the mountain heartily, and was drenched in a lot of rain. The heat in his body finally calmed down a little. He identified the direction and walked down the mountain from the top and bottom of the mountain.

After walking not far, he suddenly keenly smelled a special breath wafting in the air.

It was clear and crisp, with an indescribable smell, like a lotus flower blooming after the rain, but like sparks falling into a frying pan, it made his blood burn all over his body.

This is--

Sui Heng frowned, then sneered in his heart.

Well, these people are really getting more and more daring, and dare to plot against him at this time.

He endured the discomfort, raised his sharp long eyebrows lightly, followed the breath, and drove his horse closer, wanting to see what else this group of people had prepared for him, and threw them in the mountains to "lure" him with all their efforts. he.

Not far away, I saw a thin blue shadow under a rocky mountain wall.

Like a blue lotus, blooming in the dark mountains.

It took a lot of thought.

Sui Heng sneered even worse.

He sat on the horse and looked from a distance through the rain curtain. He saw the figure with his head down, leaning against the stone wall. The silk green robe was soaked by the rain, and it clung to his skin. His exposed arms and neck were as white as jade. , Exuding a jade-like luster in the dark night.

It's really kind of pitiful.

Is this still planning to lure him into a hero to save the beauty?

Sui Heng narrowed his eyes, suddenly became a little excited, pulled out the wolf's head knife from his waist, got off his horse, and walked slowly to the stone wall.The tip of the knife was almost picked lightly, and it lifted Jiang Yun's chin.

A delicate and gorgeous face came into view without warning.

Sui Heng froze for a moment.

Lowering his eyebrows, he asked coldly, "Who sent you here?"

Jiang Yun was forced to raise his head, resting his chin on the cold blade, blinked a little blankly, the mist on his eyelashes dispersed a little, revealing a pair of eyes as clear as water jade, washed by the rain, astonishingly beautiful.

Due to the torment of the heat flow in his body, the fair skin of the young man has already been stained with a faint rosy color. Bean-sized sweat droplets mixed with rainwater, dripping from the temples all the way into the collar, in the dark rain and muddy mountains , revealing a silent temptation.

Sui Heng's Adam's apple rolled uncontrollably.

Immediately he asked viciously: "Do you know what happens when you seduce Gu?"

Jiang Yun's sanity had long since collapsed. Hearing this, he just followed his instinct, raised his hand, and firmly held Sui Heng's wrist. His eyes that were full of water trembled slightly, as if begging.

Sui Heng frowned.

I wanted to say something, but at the next moment, Jiang Yun wrapped himself around him, his arms unconsciously wrapped around his waist, his hot body was tightly attached to his cold armor, like a fish in the desert looking for a source of water, Wrapped him tightly.

Sui Heng: "..."

Such intimate physical contact made him a little uncomfortable.

However, he didn't know if it was the clear lotus fragrance that caused the trouble, but he surprisingly didn't resist it, and even the smoldering heat in his body was somewhat relieved.

It's just that the lower body is getting more and more stuffy.

What a sign this is, it goes without saying.

"Hey."

The proud Crown Prince of the Sui Kingdom obviously couldn't accept that he might really be confused by a wild thing that appeared halfway, so he hoarsely cried out in displeasure.

However, the hands that hugged his waist became even tighter.

The hot young man who was clinging to him even raised his moist eyes, the tails of which were red, and looked at him with some grievances.

Sui Heng felt as if his heart had been hit by a heavy hammer, he couldn't help letting go, and the Langtou knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

Not far away, with a loud bang, the mountain torrent that had accumulated for a long time finally came roaring.Sui Heng's hearing is so sensitive, he wanted to fly away to escape from this place, but his body was still tightly entangled, and the moment of stagnation, he had already missed the best time to escape. Sui Heng looked back and took Jiang Yun together without hesitation. With a leap, he fell into the bottomless cliff with the torrent.
