Chapter 172 Bait
They just slashed at him a few times, and Jiang Feng and his two servants had no choice but to surrender.
Jiang Fei only let out a scream, and then there was no news from him again.
There was no sign of the female officials from the Eastern Palace calling for help, which clearly showed that they had received Jiang Fei's order.
Jiang Feng sighed secretly, the world's people really made things difficult for the Buddha. On the one hand, they prayed to the gods and prayed for Buddha's protection, and on the other hand, they killed their closest relatives in this quiet Buddhist place.
The cause and effect of this life will be repaid in this life, so let the Buddha have some peace of mind.
A long sword was placed on Jiang Feng's neck, and the coolness was like the flower snake in the trap of Tangquan Mountain.
Jiang Feng was shocked by the other arm of the man holding the sword.
That's an iron arm!
Unexpectedly, I had an unexpected gain today.
Jiang Feng looked at Cheng An and said, "The princess was imprisoned, but she was able to plan this. I am really impressed by her."
Cheng An looked disdainful and said, "Thanks to you, I have been living in seclusion in the princess's mansion without any freedom. I curse you to die of festering skin all over your face and body, but I don't have the power to do so. Fortunately, there are many people who hate you, and your second sister is not the only one who is willing to help me."
Jiang Feng understood, and under the sword, he still talked and laughed freely, saying: "How could Jiang Feng be so worthy as to trouble the princess, the prince's concubine and the county magistrate of Ji'an..."
Before she could finish her words, the sword had already penetrated her neck a little, and blood was dripping.
Obviously, this "Iron Arm" did not want her to reveal the name of the Princess of Ji'an.
Cheng An smiled and said, "It's good to know, so as not to be a fool."
Jiang Feng also laughed and said, "Since you have become a ghost, you can cross the Naihe Bridge whether you are confused or not. But if a living person doesn't understand, it will be bad."
Princess Cheng'an knew what she meant and said, "Jian said that to deal with you, I must kill you. Otherwise, I am worried that you will deceive me. But at this moment, I still want to know how to deal with the living people."
Jiang Feng kept the secret to himself, saying, "The dead don't care about the affairs of the living. If I reveal the secrets of heaven, the King of Hell will pull out my tongue."
Cheng An also laughed, "If you don't tell me, I will pull out your tongue right now."
Jiang Feng was "in a dilemma", so he asked loudly: "Do you know who assassinated the prince?"
It seemed like he was asking about Cheng An, but in fact every word he said fell into the ears of Jiang Fei who was far away.
The sword on the neck went a little deeper.
If it gets any deeper, she will really go to see the King of Hell.
Cheng An said: "How can you know about this person who even the prince can't catch?"
Jiang Feng turned his head and stared at the person dressed as a "woman" with a burning gaze, and said: "Among the black-clothed men who assassinated the prince, there is one who holds an eagle-head sword in his right hand and has an iron left arm."
Princess Cheng'an looked at the Iron-Armed Man in shock. His intact arm was holding an eagle-head sword.
The man had a grim expression and his sword-holding hand remained motionless.
Jiang Feng added: "I think this iron-armed young man is not a retainer of the princess, nor has he any relationship with my second sister. Just for a small follower like me, the Princess of Ji'an actually sent such a powerful person to the princess, which is really a huge investment."
Princess Cheng'an and Jiang Fei were both shocked.
In the matter of dealing with Jiang Feng, the Princess of Ji'an County did not show up from beginning to end. She had been living in a nunnery outside the city, eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures, just like a person in the world of mortals.
But he sent the assassin who killed the prince to be Cheng An's assistant. What was his intention?
First, killing Jiang Feng is the primary goal, so naturally a trustworthy person must be sent.
Second, the cause of trouble was diverted to someone else. This iron arm, as the only clue to the assassination of Li Longji and Li Longye, was linked to Cheng An and Jiang Fei. If any news got out, people would think that Cheng An was the mastermind behind the assassination; or that the assassination was a self-torture trick directed and performed by Li Longji.
Princess Cheng An looked at the Iron-Armed Man hesitantly and asked a question she herself did not believe: "She lied, right?"
The Iron-Armed Man remained calm, his voice emotionless: "Dead people can't speak, so naturally they can't lie."
He didn't give a direct answer, but Cheng An already knew the answer.
But the arrow is on the string and has to be shot.
Whether she was used as a gun by others, or was punished after the incident, or even was accused of rebelling, she had no way out.
She said resolutely: "Yes. Only the dead don't lie. Do it!"
The man with the iron arm sneered after hearing this and was about to exert force with his arm.
But he found that the woman's mouth was curved into a smile.
He was startled and heard the sound of arrows whistling from the side.
He thought to himself that something was wrong and tried to dodge, but the arrow feather grazed the lower part of his arm and blood immediately gushed out.
He hissed in pain, and two more clusters of arrows came at him, trying to kill him.
He had no choice but to let Jiang Feng go and pick up his sword to block.
The arrow feathers fell to the ground with a thud.
Before he could even catch his breath, a young monk in a gray short coat followed the arrow, approached him, and cut his face with a knife.
He was horrified and shouted to another "woman": "There is an ambush!"
In an instant, three or four more "monks" with knives appeared from nowhere.
Jiang Feng took a step back and shouted, "Feng Jian, leave him alive!"
Princess Cheng An realized that she had been defeated once again at the hands of Jiang Feng!
She was filled with resentment and knew there was no turning back. She finally decided to burn her boats and stabbed Jiang Feng with the dagger in her hand.
Although Jiang Feng didn't notice, there was a little monk blocking his way.
Cheng An was naturally no match for him and continued to struggle and curse.
Jiang Feng was helpless and said, "Save your strength and go shout with the prince."
After saying that, he ignored her curses, which were becoming more and more vicious, and only cared about whether Comrade Feng Changqing could defeat the enemy.
Four to two, the chances of winning are quite high.
Jiang Feng was secretly proud of himself that he actually caught a big shark with this bait!
She touched her burning neck and felt it was a good deal.
Suddenly, a hidden sword shot out from the top of the mountain, and two of the guards Li Longye left for her were killed instantly.
Jiang Feng looked up at the mountain in shock. There were only strange peaks and ancient pines, but no ghosts or monsters in sight.
It turns out that they have another trick: the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
In an instant, the situation on the field changed drastically and Feng Changqing was at a disadvantage.
Jiang Feng was thinking about countermeasures when he heard Feng Changqing shouting, "Sister! Be careful! Ah..."
Jiang Feng saw an arrow without a target coming towards her from the direction of the green mountain, making a strange "whooshing" sound, and the arrow feather was cold as it came towards her.
Ahem. Not worth it.
As bait, even if you catch the prey, it has already gone into someone else's stomach.
Just when she thought her life was over, she was swept away by a powerful force and fell backwards.
The arrow just passed over her head, and with a crisp "bang" sound, it shattered the hairpin.
A head of black hair cascaded down.
