“Stop!”
When they passed by a dense forest path, Jiang Zhennan’s eyes immediately became as sharp as an eagles. He scanned his surroundings with vigilance!
Wu Ming also looked around with a sharp gaze. However, he frowned slightly and said with some doubt,” Great General!”
Jiang Zhennan’s eyes immediately signaled him not to speak.
Wu Ming immediately felt that something was wrong. He nodded gently at
Jiang Zhennan.
Then, he walked to the front of the carriage and guarded it with Jiang Zhennan. Similarly, the other guards surrounded the carriage.
Because their whereabouts had been exposed, the Empress had sent the palace guards to look for the Emperor. Wu Ming had also contacted the Dark Guards Battalion, and the Dark Guards Battalion had quickly rushed over to meet them.
Although all of them had disguised themselves as caravans that traveled far and wide, they could not hide from those who wanted to track down the Emperor’s whereabouts.
After Jiang Zhennan’s sharp gaze swept across the surroundings, he said sternly and coldly,” Everyone, be on alert!”
All the hidden guards in disguise looked around vigilantly.
At this moment, a sharp arrow suddenly shot out from the forest, aiming straight at the carriage.
Jiang Zhennan’s eyes narrowed as he struck out with his palm. The wind from his palm collided with the arrow. Then, the arrow changed its direction in an unbelievable manner and shot back into the forest in its original direction.
“Ah!” Then, a shrill scream was heard.
It was obvious that the arrow had returned to the person who had shot it.
When Wu Ming saw this unbelievable scene, his pupils could not help but shrink violently.
He had long known that Jiang Zhennan was skilled in martial arts and had deep internal strength, but seeing it with his own eyes shocked him.
He had never expected Jiang Zhennan’s internal energy to be so deep.
One had to know that with his strength, he could, at most, block the arrow that was flying at him at such a fast speed. He could not let the arrow return and could still accurately hit the person.
As soon as the scream sounded, countless arrows flew over from the forest! Wu Ming’s expression was stern as he shouted,” Protect Old Master!”
Then, he pulled out his sword and hacked the arrow that was shot at him to the ground!
The surrounding guards pulled out their swords and took down arrows with serious expressions.
However, the dense arrows covered the sky and covered the earth. Even if the hidden guards had excellent martial arts abilities, it was difficult for them to defend themselves well. Two or three hidden guards were shot and fell to the ground, which instantly exposed some flaws in the carriage.
Then, a few arrows flew toward the carriage again.
Jiang Zhennan narrowed his eyes, and his expression was fierce. He struck the arrows with his palm again, and the wind from his palm once again made the arrows return the way they came.
Then, he sternly ordered Wu Ming,” Protect His Majesty!’
Then, he quickly flew into the forest, and his figure quickly disappeared in front of everyone.
Wu Ming’s pupils constricted again when he saw Jiang Zhennan’s actions, but he quickly reacted. He stood on the right side of the horse and did not dare to take even half a step away.
After a while, the number of arrows flying toward them decreased. Soon, Wu Ming and the others heard painful screams coming from the forest.
“Who are you?” An angry and sharp voice came from the forest.” We want to kill that dog emperor. I advise you to mind your own business!”
“You don’t need to know who I am!” Jiang Zhennan’s cold voice was heard.” If you want to kill His Majesty, you have to go through me first.”
Jiang Zhennan’s large saber looked very ordinary in the eyes of anyone, but this saber was given to him by Jiang Zhennan’s master, Old Man Yue Shan. It had accompanied Jiang Zhennan for more than 20 years and killed countless enemies on the battlefield. This saber carried a majestic and thick smell of blood and a terrifying aura.
“Hmph, since you are so stubborn, then don’t blame us for being impolite!” Wu Ming was a little worried about Jiang Zhennan when he heard this angry voice.
“Brothers, kill this person first, then kill that dog Emperor!”
But soon, Wu Ming and the others heard a series of painful cries.
In the end, the voice asked anxiously with fear and panic, “You… Who exactly are you? Why have we never heard of a person like you around the dog Emperor?”
This man was ridiculous. It was simply abnormal. A palm wind could strike his subordinates to the ground.
This person must have a lot of internal strength.
Just when Wu Ming thought that Jiang Zhennan would ignore them, Jiang
Zhennan snorted coldly.” Hmph, I am Jiang Zhennan!”
“What? What do you mean you’re Jiang Zhennan?” Obviously, the person did not recognize Jiang Zhennan, who was not wearing a mask, and his knowledge was limited.” Impossible, impossible! How can you be Jiang Zhennan? Jiang Zhennan is clearly an ugly monster!”
This person simply couldn’t accept Jiang Zhennan’s handsome appearance without a mask.
Jiang Zhennan didn’t want to waste any more time with them and said,” Hmph, since you already know my secret. In that case, none of you can leave this place alive!”
Then, Wu Ming and the others heard miserable screams.
Wu Ming opened his mouth, wanting Jiang Zhennan to leave one alive so that he could interrogate them.
But in the end, he did not open his mouth.
He knew that Jiang Zhennan knew his limits.
Not long after, the arrow was long gone, and the sound in the forest was also gone.
Then, they saw Jiang Zhennan fly out of the forest. However, not only was there no trace of blood on his clothes, but his clothes were also not messy.
Wu Ming finally understood how powerful Jiang Zhennan was.
If it were him, even if he had flown straight into the forest to kill those people, it would have been difficult for him to even dodge those arrows.
He was very glad that Jiang Zhennan had escorted His Majesty back to the palace after leaving Taoyuan Village.
Jiang Zhennan walked to the front of the carriage and said respectfully,” Your
Majesty, the enemies have all been killed. It’s very safe now!”
“Yes!” A dignified voice came from the carriage.
Then, the curtain of the carriage was pulled open. The first to come out was Eunuch Zhang. His face was slightly pale, and there was some sweat on it. It was obvious that he had been frightened.
After Eunuch Zhang came down, with Eunuch Zhangs help, he alighted from the carriage.
Looking at the arrows and corpses on the ground, his eyes darkened. He looked at Jiang Zhennan and asked coldly,” Do you know the mastermind behind this?”
Since Jiang Zhennan had already killed everyone, it meant that he already Imew what was going on.
Jiang Zhennan bent down and whispered a few words to His Majesty.
Yuwen Longyan frowned slightly and asked again, “Minister Jiang, is what you said true? Do you have any evidence?”
Jiang Zhennan said, “Those assassins had a dragon tattoo on their arms!”
Yuwen Longyan said,” Hmph, these rebels really think they have great abilities! Wu Ming, I’ll leave this matter to you to investigate! Find out where their nest is as soon as possible and then capture all of them!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!’
