Chapter 383 Miscalculation!

So-called family knows its own affairs, Su Jiande naturally knew what the Su family had done over the years.

It was precisely because Jiang Chen was right that he reacted so strongly.

The Second Master of the Su family couldn't help but say, "Why waste words with him! Just kill him, and then Father can ascend the throne!"

Su Zhengheng, who was equally angered, glanced at the Second Master of the Su family with approval: "For once, your brain is working!"

With that, Su Zhengheng waved his hand at the soldiers surrounding the carriage: "Go!"

The soldiers immediately drew their weapons and charged towards the carriage where Jiang Chen was, shouting.

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

Although the guard's expression was still calm, his heart was extremely tense.

Here, there were only him and Jiang Chen, and at most Jing Yue.

But the opponents were more than fifty elite soldiers!

"Jing Yue, move!"

Jiang Chen's expression darkened, and he shouted loudly.

"Yes!"

Jing Yue's clear voice rang out from the air.

Immediately afterward, with a sound of rushing wind, several of the soldiers who were charging forward fell to the ground.

A silver needle was inserted into their throats.

Above the carriage where Jiang Chen was, a figure in black appeared.

"Jing Yue!"

Su Zhengheng looked at Jing Yue, gnashing his teeth, and then waved his hand.

"Keep going! Whoever kills Jiang Chen will be rewarded with a thousand gold and appointed as the commander of the imperial guards!"

"Whoever kills Jing Yue or the guard will be rewarded with a hundred gold and appointed as an imperial guard!"

The soldiers, who were initially somewhat fearful, heard such rewards and became excited, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

"Kill!"

Amidst the shouts, the soldiers launched another charge.

Jiang Chen's eyebrows furrowed, and he shouted, "Move!"

Crack—

The carriage instantly split open, and Jiang Chen and the guard pounced out at the same time.

Adding Jing Yue on top of the carriage, the three of them each chose a direction.

Bang bang bang!

Clang clang clang!

Muffled sounds and the sounds of swords clashing were incessant.

As the sounds gradually diminished, a look of panic appeared on the faces of the Su family members.

The dozens of soldiers they had carefully trained were completely useless in front of Jiang Chen and the others!

"When did this damn emperor become so skilled in martial arts?!"

Su Zhengheng regretted his miscalculation.

But soon, he calmed down.

"Everyone, retreat."

As Su Zhengheng spoke, he led the Su family members backward.

When the Su family members retreated behind a rockery, Su Zhengheng shouted loudly, "Archers!"

Swish swish swish—

The archers hiding in various parts of the courtyard appeared one after another.

Everyone drew their bows, aiming at Jiang Chen and the others.

Jing Yue and the guard's expressions changed.

If the soldiers just now were still within their expectations, then these archers were completely beyond their expectations.

Under normal circumstances, archers would only participate in large-scale battles.

But the Su family had secretly trained so many archers!

Jiang Chen's expression also darkened.

He had thought that the Su family was bold, but he didn't expect that the Su family had already reached this point!

This unhealthy trend must be stopped!

Otherwise, if all the major aristocratic families followed suit, the Great Wei would be ruined!

At this moment, Su Zhengheng's hand fell.

"Release!"

As Su Zhengheng's voice fell, dozens of arrows instantly shot through the air.

"Careful!"

Jing Yue and the guard had no choice but to stand in front of Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen, however, was not flustered at all, and reminded, "Carriage!"

Jing Yue and the guard suddenly understood.

Their figures moved, and they came to the side of the Liu sisters' carriage, directly using it as a barrier.

Jiang Chen, on the other hand, lifted the carriage he was riding in with one hand and waved it around, deflecting all the arrows in a dense, impenetrable manner.

"What?!"

Such a method of dealing with the situation shocked the Su family members.

At the same time, everyone's faces became extremely ugly.

Su Zhengheng's face twitched. Jiang Chen's martial prowess was completely beyond his expectations.

Miscalculation!

After one round of arrows was fired, just as the archers were preparing for the second round, Jiang Chen said to Jing Yue, "Send the signal!"

Jing Yue nodded heavily and then took out a signal flare.

Whoosh—bang!

A red firework exploded in the air.

"Kill!"

Outside, a chilling cry of killing suddenly came.

The Su family members were completely thrown into disarray.

"What's going on?"

"Why is there such a loud cry of killing?"

"Where did these soldiers come from?"

Even Su Zhengheng, who was the most composed, was trembling at this moment.

He quickly understood everything and looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief.

"You...you were prepared!"

Jiang Chen smiled coldly, "Otherwise? Did you think I risked myself just for fun?"

Upon receiving Jiang Chen's admission, the Su family members were completely thrown into disarray.

"Father, let's run!" said the Second Master of the Su family.

"Yes, let's run!"

Su Zhengheng was also a person who could take and let go. Now that the plan had failed and he had even fallen into Jiang Chen's trap, he would die if he didn't leave!

As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn.

The archers, who were still preparing to launch a second attack, saw that the Su family members had all fled, and they no longer had any fighting spirit. They also fled in all directions.

Jiang Chen didn't speak, but just watched the Su family members flee indifferently.

The entire passage of Jinling City had already been blocked by him.

It could be said that the Su family members would definitely not be able to escape.

The reason he didn't say it was because he was afraid that the Su family members would become desperate and jump over the wall.

It was better to give them a little hope so that they wouldn't have time to think about anything else.

The reinforcements quickly rushed into the Su family.

"Shi Ping greets Your Majesty!"

The commander of the imperial guards stepped forward to pay his respects to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen smiled and helped him up, saying, "You came just in time."

Shi Ping's gaze towards Jiang Chen was full of admiration.

This time, His Majesty had really risked himself and used himself as bait.

Jiang Chen's gaze swept across the Su family: "Search! Collect all the evidence of the Su family's treason!"

"Yes!"

Immediately, the imperial guards began to search the Su family.

Soon, dragon robes and other imperial items were placed in front of Jiang Chen.

Afterward, many more extravagant things were found.

Jiang Chen's eyes flickered as he looked at the things in front of him.

The Su family was truly the local emperor here in Jiangnan!

Just as Jiang Chen was looking at these things, the deputy commander of the imperial guards shouted urgently outside.

"Hurry up!"

Immediately afterward, the deputy commander of the imperial guards brought the Su family members, who had been caught red-handed, to Jiang Chen.

"Your Majesty is wise and resourceful. These people wanted to escape through a small door, but we caught them red-handed!"

"Well done."

Jiang Chen praised him with a smile, and then looked at the Su family members, who were pale, and pointed to the dragon robes and other items.

"Do you know what crime these things will condemn you to?"

Su Zhengheng's face instantly showed despair.

This was treason!

Without a doubt, this was a crime that would exterminate nine generations of his family!

Seeing Su Zhengheng's reaction, Jiang Chen smiled faintly, "It seems you already know, then I won't say more. Take them away!"

Just as Su Zhengheng and his group were taken away, the commander of the imperial guards, Shi Ping, walked over quickly.

"Your Majesty, the governor of Jinling is here to pay his respects."

Jiang Chen sneered. The governor of Jinling?

He was of no use at all.

"Take him down and lock him up with the Su family!"
