Chapter 169 Rescue
Inside a dark brown carriage, Jiang Yueming and Li Jian sat facing each other, the former's eyes now showing a hint of coldness.
Li Jian was slightly startled. It was clearly Jiang Yueming who took the initiative to talk to him about something, but his expression seemed to suggest he could kill someone at any moment.
What could have caused such a drastic change in his mood in just one night?
When they first met, the boy in front of them was joking around with them, but now there was no trace of joking in him.
As if burdened by some deep-seated blood feud, like a lion about to erupt in fury, ready to kill at the slightest touch!
"Hehe, I wonder what brings you here, Brother Jiang?" Li Jian carefully pushed a cup of tea in front of Jiang Yueming and said with a smile.
Jiang Yueming didn't even glance at the steaming tea, and coldly said, "Ye Mo said she wanted me to save you. I'll only say this once, so listen carefully."
Li Jian's expression froze slightly, and he quickly straightened his posture to prepare to listen to Jiang Wushen's teachings.
He knew how difficult it was to get Jiang Yueming to personally point the way; it concerned the life and death of the entire escort agency, so he had to take it seriously.
"I don't care what conflict your Loyalty Escort Agency has with Han Hou, I want you to immediately submit to the Fa Cult and seek Han Ruobing's protection."
As he spoke, Jiang Yueming pulled out a yellowed letter from his pocket, his tone carrying an undeniable air of authority.
Legal education?
Li Jian took the letter of recommendation from Jiang Yueming, looking puzzled.
In the Holy Dragon Empire, there are two forces that supersede royal authority: the Yin-Yang Sect and the Fa Sect.
In fact, the Loyalty Escort Agency had considered finding a powerful backer, but without exception, they all failed.
Those sects aren't fools. The Loyalty Escort Agency is of no value to them. What use is it to them?
Now that Jiang Yueming can say these words, Li Jian truly believes that the young man before him is none other than Jiang Yue, the Martial God who has shaken the entire Holy Dragon Imperial State!
Because everyone in the Imperial State knows that the Pope of the Fa Sect is as cold as ice, and as cold as her name suggests, no man in the world can get close to her.
Besides the God of War, Jiang Yue!
"And why is Liu Jun in your escort team?" Jiang Yueming asked sternly, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
Who is Liu Jun? How could a powerful local lord need a security escort agency to protect him when he travels?
Sensing the intense killing intent emanating from Jiang Yueming, Li Jian's heart skipped a beat. He forced a smile and said, "I don't know either. That Marquis Liu insists on coming with us, and there's nothing we can do."
"You can understand that, right?" Li Jian's words became extremely cautious towards the end.
He knew more or less what it was, which angered Jiang Yueming.
Liu Jun is really brainless; he's going to be in big trouble this time.
Previously, relying on his status as the king's uncle, he insisted on going with the caravan. Not only did he go with them, but he also refused to pay them. Did a mere marquis like him lack the travel expenses?
Now that he's messed with Jiang Wushen, his life is over.
Before the God of War, all the royal powers in the Imperial State are just for show. It's not that the royal family is afraid of the God of War alone, but rather that they are afraid of the Jiang Clan, whose power is immense behind the God of War!
His Marquis's mansion only had a dozen or so Ancient Realm cultivators, while the Jiang Clan had hundreds.
Due to the disparity in strength, it can be said that the actual control of the entire Imperial State does not lie with the royal family, but with those powerful sects.
The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion governs the Heavenly Mystery Empire, while the Starfall Pavilion and the Jiang Clan jointly govern the Starfall Empire. In the Holy Dragon Empire, the Yin-Yang Sect and the Law Sect are in charge!
"Alright, I have one more thing to tell you," Jiang Yue said, taking a deep breath and trying to calm her emotions.
Ever since I learned Chen Qingling's full name, I feel guilty every time I think of her, and my usually calm personality is always disturbed.
There was once a girl named Qingling who staged a tragedy right before his eyes, and this time he would never allow himself to repeat the same mistake!
"Jiang Wushen, please feel free to give your orders," Li Jian said, standing up and clasping his hands in a fist salute.
That letter of recommendation saved their entire escort agency, so as promised, as long as the God of War lends a helping hand, the Loyal and Righteous Escort Agency will never forget this kindness!
Let alone orders, Li Jian would be willing to do anything for him, after all, he was raised by the escort agency and his feelings for Zhao Yuan were even stronger.
Seeing Li Jian's resolute expression, Jiang Yueming tapped her fingers on the table, her eyes flashing with a cold light: "I want you to put on a play, a scene of Liu Jun's beheading!"
"A beheading scene?" Li Jian's expression changed drastically, and a sense of fear rose in his heart.
He didn't expect Jiang Wushen to put Liu Jun to death so quickly. After all, he was still the king's uncle, and if something happened to him, the higher-ups would definitely investigate thoroughly.
It's a bit too fast to kill Liu Jun without making any preparations.
However, Li Jian was also self-aware. He knew that Jiang Wushen's thoughts were beyond the comprehension of a nobody like himself. He only needed to do as he was told.
"Please, God of War, give your command!" Li Jian said solemnly, kneeling on one knee.
At this moment, Jiang Yueming disregarded the issue of revealing her identity and said directly, "Write a letter to Marquis Han and tell him that Marquis Liu forcibly seized the white crane celestial sedan chair that you presented to the King."
Tribute to the king? Isn't it for the Marquis of Han's own family?
Li Jian's face showed another look of confusion.
Jiang Yueming did not offer any further explanation.
Li Jian is not politically astute. Since you know that Marquis Liu and Marquis Han are very powerful in the Holy Dragon Empire, why don't you understand the principle that two tigers cannot share one mountain?
As long as Li Jian hands this handle over to Han Hou, regardless of whether it's true or false, Han Hou is no ordinary person when it comes to suppressing political enemies!
"Tonight, sabotage the sedan chair. Tomorrow, lure Liu Jun into the sedan chair and pin all the blame on him."
"He'll definitely buy this sedan chair then, and we'll send him on his way once we cross the Black Thunder territory!"
Jiang Yueming clenched his fists tightly on the table, his eyes almost overflowing with murderous intent.
He knew that Han Hou's assassins were waiting at the very back, and that once they left the Black Thunder Territory, it would be the best time for them to make their move.
In such chaos, it's understandable that the king accidentally killed his uncle. Add to that the charge of misappropriating royal treasures, and what can the king say?
This was a great opportunity for Jiang Yueming, achieving two goals at once.
Firstly, it would allow them to eliminate Liu Jun immediately. Secondly, Han Xuan wasn't stupid; he would definitely find out who gave him the murder weapon.
This can be considered as Jiang Yueming doing Han Xuan a favor. As for whether the Loyalty Escort Agency was destroyed or not, it doesn't matter much in the grand scheme of things.
After all, taking down a royal uncle is more valuable than destroying a security escort agency.
"Alright, I have other things to do. Just do as I say."
As soon as the words left his lips, Jiang Yueming got up and left the carriage. He had something more important to do than killing Liu Jun.
That is to rescue Chen Qingling!
