Chapter 203 The sly little fox
North City Gate
Not long after Jiang Ci led a group of people to the city gate, another group of people came on horseback.
The leader was the man with the silver mask.
Jiang Ci sat on the horse and glanced at the crowd behind the man.
"Xie Yishuang brought them, where are my people?"
Tuoba Jue looked at Xie Yishuang and saw her disheveled hair and scars all over her body, her eyes suddenly turned cold.
"Jiang Ci, you actually attack a woman, how despicable you are!"
"Isn't it the same for you? After all, this person is sent to his door to seek death, and because of your incompetence, you can only rely on women to fight for a way out."
Tuoba Jue sneered: "Your woman was not injured at all, but you hurt my man like this. This account must be settled."
"what do you want?"
"You shot me an arrow, and I will reciprocate as a courtesy."
Jiang Ci stared at him silently.
"It seems Xie Yishuang is not important in your heart."
Tuoba Jue raised his lips and smiled: "I wonder how important your sister-in-law is in your heart?"
Jiang Ci's expression suddenly turned cold and he narrowed his eyes.
"it is good!"
"Young master, no!" Huanying hurriedly tried to dissuade her.
Wu Ming said: "Let your subordinates take this arrow for you."
Jiang Ci said coldly: "No need to say more, stand down!"
The two of them frowned and wanted to dissuade him, but Jiang Ci shot him cold eyes. They could only retreat behind Jiang Ci, but stared at Tuoba Jue warily.
Tuoba Jue raised his eyebrows, reached out to take the bow and arrow handed over by his subordinate, aimed at Jiang Ci's heart, and shot out with a "swish" sound.
Jiang Ci narrowed his eyes and stared at the flying arrow feathers. His figure floated up, and he kicked the arrow with his toes. The arrow suddenly changed its direction and headed towards Tuoba Jue.
Tuoba Jue's face was gloomy, and he cut off the arrow feathers that were shot at him with a sword.
"Jiang Ci, you are cheating!"
Jiang Ci sat back on the horse lightly, curling his lips and sneering.
"You only said you shot me an arrow, but you didn't say I couldn't dodge."
"Are you people from the Central Plains so treacherous, treacherous and cunning? Today I have learned a lesson."
"Thank you, Third Prince, for your compliment!"
Tuoba Jue looked slightly shocked when he heard Jiang Ci call him the third prince.
He actually guessed his identity?
"What third prince? Could it be that Young Master Jiang recognized the wrong person?"
Jiang Ci glanced at Xie Yishuang: "It is rumored that Rong Di has a highly favored ninth princess, Tuoba Yan. Her mother's clan is from the lineage of the Miao Saint Clan. She also has an elder brother Tuoba Jue who is a compatriot from the same mother. , the brother and sister have a very deep relationship, Third Prince, am I right?"
Xie Yishuang has been tortured in the past few days, and her mouth is very tight. Unfortunately, she is wearing a piece of jade that is only available to the Rong Di royal family, which completely exposes her identity.
Jiang Ci knew something about the inside of the Rong Di royal family. King Rong Di had seven sons and three daughters. Among them, the ninth princess, Tuoba Yan, was deeply favored by King Rong Di because of her superb medical skills and being a master of drug making.
In recent years, the Ninth Princess has been helping King Rong Di with suggestions, and she even colluded with King Qi.
Keeping this girl will definitely be a big hidden danger in the future, but the more chaotic the situation in Sui Dynasty is, the more beneficial it is to him, so Tuoba Yan cannot die yet.
After being exposed by Jiang Ci, Tuoba Jue remained silent for a long time.
"Haha, His Majesty the Seventh Prince is very resourceful."
Is this considered exposing each other?
"Give me back my people, thank you Yishuang."
Tuoba Jue said: "Conditions."
He would not think that Jiang Ci would let them leave without any conditions.
"I heard that the Tuoba royal family has three asparagus plants in its collection. I want to ask for one."
"That's such a big statement. Do you know how important Asparagus is to the Tuoba tribe?"
"I know it, so I asked the third prince for it."
Asparagus can make dying people immortal. It is an extremely rare herb in the world, and it is also the most important medicine for relieving heartburn.
Now that such a good opportunity was in front of him, of course he couldn't miss it.
"What if I don't give it? Do you want to watch your sister-in-law die?"
Jiang Ci said in a calm tone: "The third prince had better understand the current situation clearly. I am Dao Zu and you are fish and meat. If something happens to her, none of you can leave alive today."
Tuoba Jue tightened his grip on the horse's reins, feeling secretly angry.
The kidnapper finally ran away. If Jiang Ci was not allowed to get some benefits, it would be difficult for him and Xiaojiu to escape.
He has a plant of Asparagus in his hand, but this medicine is extremely expensive and is a sacred item in Miao territory. If the mother-in-law was not from the lineage of the holy clan, she would not have the chance to obtain this item.
Jiang Ci is really unwilling to accept it for being so cheap!
"Okay, I promise to give you Asparagus grass and release my little sister immediately!"
"Where are my people?"
Tuoba Jue waved his hand, and a middle-aged man on the carriage pushed a young woman off.
"I brought your people."
Jiang Ci glanced at the woman, and the woman happened to look up at him.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and the other party's appearance could be vaguely seen.
It was indeed the face of a little fox, but why were those eyes so strange?
Yan Shu has a pair of extremely beautiful and lively fox eyes, but the eyes in front of him are dull and tight, without any of the little fox's former expression.
Feeling a little suspicious, Jiang Ci winked at Huanying on the side.
Huan Ying led Xie Yishuang towards each other.
"Third Prince, the Ninth Princess has a strange poison in her body. The antidote to this poison is in the hands of my young master. Within two months, I also ask the Third Prince to have the Asparagus be delivered to the Hongyue Tower in Xinyang City on time. It is too late. Don’t wait!”
Tuoba Jue felt a bad breath in his chest. He had always plotted against others, but this time he fell into Jiang Ci's hands several times.
"Are you afraid that I will break my promise?"
Jiang Ci chuckled: "I trust the Third Prince, but in business, since it is a transaction, it is better to be foolproof."
Tuoba Jue snorted with a cold face.
"Don't worry, within a month at most, this palace will provide you with asparagus grass."
After saying this, he dismounted, used a dagger to cut the rope around Tuoba Yan, and pulled off the cloth that blocked her mouth.
Tuoba Yan was finally able to speak and cried and threw herself into Tuoba Jue's arms.
"elder brother!"
"Don't be afraid Yan'er, brother is here to save you."
Tuoba Jue gently patted Xie Yishuang's back, but glanced at the figure of "Yan Shu".
Yan Shu ran towards Jiang Ci, but Jiang Ci just sat on his horse and looked at her coldly.
"Little...uncle."
"Sister-in-law is frightened!"
"Yan Shu" looked up at him with red eyes and tearful eyes.
"Your Majesty, Seventh Prince, can we open the city gate now?"
Jiang Ci glanced across Yan Shu's face.
He got off his horse and walked towards her, raising his hand and gently placing it on the woman's ear.
Looking at the beautiful face in front of her, a twinkling flashed through the woman's eyes. At this moment, Jiang Ci pulled hard, and the mask was instantly torn off.
"Third Prince, I sincerely bring you here. What do you mean by sending a fake one?"
Tuoba Jue's expression was slightly stiff. It was difficult to tell whether his disguise technique was genuine or not. How could Jiang Ci find out that he was a fake so quickly?
Xiao Jiu is currently poisoned and cannot break up with Jiang Ci.
In this case, we can only tell the truth.
"Your sister-in-law is not an ordinary person. After we locked her in the woodshed, she escaped not long after. We sent people to search everywhere, but couldn't find even a trace of her."
Jiang Ci laughed secretly in his heart, and the dull feeling in his heart instantly dissipated.
The little fox must have hidden in the space.
She is really lucky that she has this fairy palace to protect her. Otherwise, the little fairy who has gone through tribulations will have no magical skills and only have the skills of a three-legged cat, which is really worrying.
"Open the city gate!"
"Master, Miss Yan hasn't been found yet, will you let them go like this..."
Jiang Cidao: "Tuoba Yan is poisoned. Tuoba Jue will not risk his own sister's life. My sister-in-law is not in his hands, so let her go!"
"Yes!"
