He Won’t Let That Woman Go
Jiang Yimian was also a little stunned, completely unexpected that Zhao Cheng’s reaction was so quick, she could only barely dodge the other party’s attack.
Wanting to repeat the trick, Zhao Cheng didn’t give her the chance.
No matter how much she tempted him, the other party just stayed by Xie Yang’s side, completely preventing her from getting close.
Jiang Yimian narrowed her eyes, looking at the person in front of her and secretly pondering, how much chance did she have to kill the Chu Prince under Zhao Cheng’s nose and escape quickly.
The answer was none at all.
That Zhao Cheng was simply too powerful.
Last time, she and Lu Cijian could only barely deal with this person, this time only she alone, to kill Xie Yang, it was impossible.
Especially using the space couldn’t do anything to the other party, she might even get herself involved.
Realizing this, Jiang Yimian didn’t delay, took out a silver needle from the space and threw it directly at Zhao Cheng.
Zhao Cheng, seeing the silver needle flying towards him, quickly swung his sword to block it.
Then, he looked up and saw Jiang Yimian already riding away on horseback.
Zhao Cheng was so angry that he was about to chase after her with his sword, but Xie Yang quickly stopped him, “Don’t bother with her, bandage my wound first.”
He was already seriously injured, and after being kicked hard by that woman, if he didn’t bandage it carefully, he was afraid that he wouldn’t be killed by others, but die from blood loss first.
He wouldn’t let that woman go.
Zhao Cheng quickly tore off his clothes and gave the man in front of him a simple bandage before saying, “Your Highness, that woman is the one from the mine on the mountain last time, this person is really strange.”
Clearly, last time on the mountain, they hadn’t seen the other party able to use this ability, but this time, they could actually use such strange skills, disappearing out of thin air.
Fortunately, this move wasn’t too difficult for him to solve, after adapting, he wasn’t so surprised anymore.
But this person’s identity was really baffling to him.
Recently, although he had been following Your Highness to handle matters and hadn’t paid attention to Pingjiang County’s affairs, he had secretly sent people to investigate, but hadn’t found out this person’s identity.
He had almost searched all the forces in the Capital, but hadn’t found any identity corresponding to this person.
He thought that the other party might have hidden themselves, but unexpectedly, he met them today.
Xie Yang narrowed his eyes and said after a while, “It seems that she should have left the Capital, go and have people carefully check in the Capital, don’t go to Pingjiang County for now.”
Pingjiang County was being closely watched because of Zhu Shichang’s case, if their people went there now, they might be caught for something.
It’s better to be careful now.
Moreover, this time back to the Capital, besides the people around him, no one else could possibly know.
But it still leaked its whereabouts, being chased and killed by so many people, if it weren’t for Zhao Cheng following, and he brought a lot of people, he would have died on the mountain this time.
There must be an insider among his people.
Zhao Cheng responded respectfully, suddenly thinking of something, “Your Highness, I heard that the Ministry of Works’ Left Vice Minister was put in prison, because of that Duke Anguo’s Heir.”
Xie Yang frowned slightly, his voice containing a hint of doubt, “Why is that old Duke Anguo getting involved in the Ministry of Works’ affairs?”
That old Duke Anguo is deep-minded and capricious, obviously has his own calculations, but to outsiders, he still appears loyal to the Royal Family, it’s just unknown whose person he is.
According to his nature, he wouldn’t possibly handle the Ministry of Works at this point.
Zhao Cheng shook his head, “Your subordinate doesn’t know either, only heard that Duke Anguo’s Heir seems to have been raised on an estate since childhood, and has just returned to the Capital not long ago, and seems to have a bad relationship with Duke Anguo.”
Xie Yang responded, not dwelling on this issue, instead saying, “Have you arranged everything I asked you to do? The rainy season will be here soon, this is a good opportunity, we must kill Wei Jinghai and the people around him.”
A year ago, during the rebellion, if it weren’t for that bastard Wei Jinghai suddenly obstructing and disrupting his plan, Great Jin should have changed hands long ago.
Zhao Cheng just smiled and said, “Your Highness, rest assured, everything is proceeding according to your plan.”
Xie Yang nodded.
Jiang Yimian rode her horse all the way, finally arriving at Dragon Mountain Villa just as it was getting dark.
To avoid being caught up by that person from the Chu Prince’s side, she ran extremely fast along the way, not daring to rest at all, she actually shortened the time compared to usual from the Capital to the Villa.
As soon as she entered the Villa gate, she saw Zhao Xiaonian holding a lantern, bending over and looking for something on the ground.
Behind him were two children, also bending over and looking for something.
Jiang Yimian looked at the two familiar figures and was stunned for a moment, before smiling and saying, “Xiaoye, Xiao Nuaner.”
The people who were originally concentrating on looking for stones on the ground heard this and raised their heads sharply.
Xiao Nuaner was still a little dazed, she looked around after raising her head, her big eyes full of confusion, as if curious who was calling her.
Xiaoye was the first to discover the person standing on the long corridor not far away.
Under the dim lantern stood a tall figure, her face was a little unclear, but it was obvious that it was a woman’s figure.
Xiaoye was stunned for a while before suddenly remembering who the familiar voice belonged to, and immediately excitedly said, “Elder Sister, Elder Sister is back.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she ran towards the corridor and hugged Jiang Yimian’s leg, smiling, “Elder Sister, you’re back.”
Xiao Nuaner followed closely behind, hugging her other leg, her big eyes full of joy, “Elder Sister, Xiao Nuaner misses you so much, finally able to see Elder Sister.”
She thought that she would be able to see her Elder Sister when she arrived at the Villa, but she waited for several days without seeing her, her heart was filled with sadness, for fear that her Elder Sister didn’t want them anymore.
Jiang Yimian smiled, the tiredness of rushing for several hours was instantly swept away when she saw the two little ones.
She bent down and touched the heads of the two little ones, looking at the two obviously taller little ones and exclaimed, “I haven’t seen you for more than a month, you’ve grown taller, and you seem to have gained some weight.”
Especially Xiaoye, she remembered when she left Qing Stone Village, the little fellow was just up to her thigh, now he’s almost up to her waist.
He actually grew so much taller in just a month.
As for Xiao Nuaner, the little fellow didn’t seem to be growing taller yet, her height hadn’t changed much, but her cheeks were chubby, with much more flesh than when she left.
White and tender, chubby, looking even more like a little glutinous rice dumpling.
Zhao Xiaonian also felt happy seeing Jiang Yimian, but didn’t come forward, only holding the lantern triumphantly said to the two children, “How about that, was I right, Sister Yimian really came back.”
Jiang Yimian looked at the person outside the corridor, raised an eyebrow and smiled, “What did you calculate?”
Zhao Xiaonian said with a smug face, “Naturally, it’s when you’ll be back, I calculated yesterday that you would be back today, and sure enough, you really are back.”
As soon as he finished speaking, his head, which was held high, was patted hard from behind.
“Don’t be silly, you say Jiang Girl will be back every day, and you’ve never been right once, only today you didn’t calculate, and Jiang Girl came back, you’re right about nothing. Don’t forget what you calculated for Uncle Jiang?” Song Er said angrily with his arms crossed.
Zhao Xiaonian didn’t refute, but immediately lowered his head and closed his mouth, not daring to speak, looking guilty.
Jiang Yimian looked at the two of them suspiciously and curiously asked, “What did you calculate for my Father?”
