Wasn't this the envoy sent by the Tang King?

Why did he follow them here?

At this moment, the Tang King's envoy looked at the situation and nodded indifferently towards the shiye (personal secretary).

The shiye hesitated for a moment, then said to Lu Changyang, who was full of expectation, "My lord, I'm sorry."

The expectation on Lu Changyang's face vanished instantly.

"Shiye, what do you mean by this?"

The shiye did not answer, but looked at Wu Hong.

"Captain Wu, the bandits are fierce, we can only sacrifice Lord Lu."

Wu Hong was taken aback, "That's not good, is it?"

The shiye said, "Don't worry, Lord Lu was killed by the bandits first. When Captain Wu arrives, Lord Lu is already dead. We can all testify to this."

Wu Hong instantly understood what the shiye meant, but he was still hesitant.

In any case, Lu Changyang usually treated him very well.

Lu Changyang, frightened by the shiye's words, finally came back to his senses and hurriedly shouted, "Captain Wu, you can't listen to him! Don't forget how I usually treat you!"

These words made Captain Wu even more hesitant.

The man who came with the shiye said indifferently at this time, "Captain Wu, are you willing to always be a small captain?"

These words startled Wu Hong, and he couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean?"

The man pointed to Jiang Chen and the other two, "Kill these three people, and I guarantee you will rise to prominence in the future."

As he spoke, the man said to the more than one hundred burly men behind him, "You can all rise to prominence as well!"

Under such temptation, Wu Hong's heart pounded, and the hundred or so people behind him became excited.

"Captain Wu, let's do it!" someone shouted loudly.

At this moment, Jiang Chen suddenly sneered coldly, "Who is he? Saying he can make you rise to prominence, can he really make you rise to prominence?"

This sentence instantly calmed down the originally excited crowd.

That's right!

If you want to become an official, you must have an official document from the imperial court.

What is this person's identity that he can just open his mouth and promote them?

The man did not explain, but smiled and looked at Jiang Chen, "Everyone, let me introduce someone to you."

He pointed at Jiang Chen and said, "This is His Majesty of Great Wei, Jiang Chen!"

"What?"

Everyone was shocked and looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief.

Immediately, the crowd panicked.

They were actually going to attack His Majesty?

Just as they were panicking, the man said again, "Everyone, do you think there is any way out for us in this situation?"

"If you spare him, will he spare you?"

"Don't forget, you are Lu Changyang's privately raised soldiers! This is strictly forbidden by the imperial court!"

"Your only choice now is to kill him! Only in this way will no one investigate today's events!"

"I can guarantee you that the newly enthroned Emperor will definitely not investigate this matter. On the contrary, you will rise to prominence!"

After these words, everyone present understood what the current situation was.

The person who came with the shiye must be a confidant of the person about to ascend the throne.

And his purpose here is to kill His Majesty!

The shiye also said at this time, "Everyone, this is a rare opportunity, otherwise you will be fugitives for the rest of your lives!"

These words finally made everyone determined.

Wu Hong clenched the long knife in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Lord Lu, I'm sorry!"

After speaking, he raised his broadsword and shouted loudly, "Everyone, the rebels are fierce and killed Lord Lu! We must avenge Lord Lu!"

"Avenge Lord Lu!" the crowd shouted in unison.

"Kill!"

With a loud shout, Wu Hong took the lead and charged towards Jiang Chen and the other two.

Jiang Chen's eyes sank, and he said, "Retreat!"

Jing Yue protected Jiang Chen, Zhao Ting kidnapped Lu Changyang, and quickly retreated to the backyard.

Although there were more than one hundred fierce people, the passage from the front yard to the backyard only allowed a maximum of three people to enter and exit at the same time. In this way, Jiang Chen and the other two guarded the yamen entrance, and the other party could do nothing.

But these people were extremely fierce, and even though only three people could rush in each time, they still followed one after another.

The Xiang Prefecture Magistrate, Lu Changyang, was killed with a single blow.

The shiye watched the thugs who could not exert any force and were knocked down one after another, and couldn't help but become anxious.

"What are you all doing here? Go around to the back and attack!"

With this reminder, the thugs suddenly realized, and those who couldn't rush up immediately retreated and prepared to go around to the back to attack.

Just as most of the thugs were preparing to go around from the back, Jiang Chen saw that there were only twenty or so people in the front yard, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes.

"Break out!"

Jing Yue and Zhao Ting nodded heavily. Zhao Ting picked up a long knife and waved it with one hand, causing the thugs to retreat.

Jing Yue protected Jiang Chen, killing all the thugs who tried to get close one by one.

Before the other thugs could go around to the backyard, Jiang Chen and the other two were about to break out of the front yard.

The shiye and the Tang King's envoy never expected that Jiang Chen and the other two were actually pretending to be weak. Seeing that the three were about to break out, the two hurriedly turned around and left.

"Where are you running!"

Zhao Ting shouted loudly, and in a few steps, he caught up with the two. He held the long knife across in front of the two, scaring them to stand in place and dare not move.

Jiang Chen walked up to the two and sneered, "The two of you, why don't you kneel when you see me?"

Thump!

The shiye couldn't withstand Jiang Chen's imposing pressure first and knelt on the ground.

The Tang King's envoy looked up at Jiang Chen, with a kind of unyielding aura.

Jiang Chen sneered, "Jing Yue, make him kneel."

"Yes!"

Jing Yue agreed and kicked the other party's leg directly.

Bang!

Although the other party was ruthless, he was just a civil official. With Jing Yue's kick, his legs bent, and his knees slammed heavily on the ground, hurting him so much that he grimaced.

"Speak, which vassal king is it?" Jiang Chen asked.

The Tang King's envoy naturally refused to say, but the shiye's mind moved, and he looked up and said, "Your Majesty, if I tell you, can you spare my life?"

Jiang Chen chuckled, "What do you think?"

The shiye's face turned pale.

But Jiang Chen said again, "But I can consider only killing you."

The shiye couldn't help but be greatly moved.

Just as he was about to open his mouth, the Tang King's envoy suddenly reached out and grabbed the long knife that Zhao Ting was holding in front of him and the shiye.

Puff!

The long knife instantly pierced into the throats of him and the shiye.

The shiye looked terrified and looked at the man in disbelief, "You... you..."

The Tang King's envoy showed a smile and then died.

Jiang Chen looked at the dead two and sneered disdainfully.

This person is really stupid, did he think they wouldn't know who it was if they didn't say it?

"Jing Yue, go to the military camp outside the city and transfer them to take over the county yamen."

"Zhao Ting, go find paper and pen."

Jing Yue agreed and immediately walked out.

Zhao Ting did not act, but said, "They are coming from the backyard soon."

Jiang Chen waved his hand, "Just a rabble."

As soon as Jiang Chen finished speaking, the thugs who had detoured from the backyard appeared. When they saw that the shiye and the man were already dead, they were all stunned.
