Chapter 521: Chapter 270 Jiang Wan’s Secret

Before Yang Wufu took Qingzhou, the city had already been thrown into turmoil.

Some officials from the prefecture ran to Shan Zi Camp, informing the Crown Prince’s residence that it was under attack by mobs. Hearing this, Mr. Zhao immediately took his troops to the rescue. However, not long after their departure, a mutiny erupted at Shan Zi Camp.

The deputy general, Xu Wenchun, started a rebellion.

At the same time, other forces lurking in Qingzhou emerged.

Overnight, the once bustling and glamorous city plunged into unprecedented chaos.

When Yuan Anjiang received the news, Mr. Zhao, who had gone to rescue the Crown Prince, and his confidants were already besieged on Minghuan Street, with the deputy general Xu Wenchun urging them to surrender.

By then, Yuan Anjiang had realized that Qingzhou’s situation was beyond retrieval.

And he had completely understood the adversary’s conspiratorial plans.

No matter how hard he and Jiang Mo tried, the opponents always dominated the chessboard.

They only needed to find a reasonable reason to have General Yang lead his troops into Qingzhou City.

They only needed to find a reasonable excuse to have the city defense open the gates...

In summary, there would definitely be a mutiny at Shan Zi Camp, the Crown Prince would definitely be besieged, Fengtou Camp would definitely come to the rescue, the city gates would definitely be opened... It was a deadlock.

Even without the Crown Prince, the plan could still proceed.

Yuan Anjiang collapsed into his chair, a chill spreading from deep within his bones, penetrating his flesh, and shrouding his entire body in a cold abyss.

"Why has it come to this?"

He stared blankly at the door, listening to the chaotic sounds of galloping horses rushing through the streets and alleys of Qingzhou.

It would probably soon reach Liushan Division.

This rebellion was obviously long in the planning; how could the court have been completely unaware?

Where had the problem arisen?

"What should I do? What should I do?"

Shen, pacing in the room like an ant on a hot pot, kept muttering to himself.

The situation with the Crown Prince was still unclear, and if anything were to happen, even ten of his heads wouldn’t be enough.

Whoosh!

A dark shadow suddenly appeared in the living room.

The visitor was a man in his fifties, dressed in a green robe, his long hair draped over his shoulders, exuding a melancholic aura.

Just as Shen was about to act, he saw the old man’s face clearly. His expression abruptly changed, and he immediately knelt halfway and bowed respectfully, "I have seen Lord Cang!"

Yuan Anjiang’s eyes narrowed.

It was Cang, one of the two Viceroys of the imperial guards.

In the imperial guards, the two Viceroys held the highest rank, their cultivation said to be second only to Zhao Wuxiu, the Empress, and the two Saints of Confucians.

After his initial shock, Yuan Anjiang said,

"Lord Cang, Qingzhou has encountered a rebellion, the Crown Prince’s residence is besieged, we must immediately..."

"The Crown Prince has already left Qingzhou," said Lord Cang lightly.

What!?

The two inside the room were stunned.

According to the latest news, the rebels had already surrounded Qingzhou; the highly important Crown Prince should have been their prime focus, how could he have escaped so quickly?

Lord Cang did not explain further but said to Yuan Anjiang, "Mr. Yuan, I am here to extract you."

"Extract me?"

"Yes, I have a way to get you out of Qingzhou."

"But..." Yuan Anjiang frowned deeply, "What about Jiang Mo and Lord Ran? What about the people of Qingzhou?"

"I am only responsible for getting you out," Lord Cang said indifferently.

Before Yuan Anjiang could inquire further, Lord Cang lightly waved his arm, and Yuan Anjiang passed out.

Shen asked softly, "Lord Cang, should we also withdraw?"

"No, you stay and carry out your tasks."

Lord Cang pulled out a secret letter and handed it to Shen, "Find Jiang Mo and execute him. Aside from Jiang Mo, everyone on this list... must be eliminated."

"Yes."

Shen nodded vigorously.

——

Listening to the intermittent sounds of hooves and combat outside, Jiang Shouzhong sighed helplessly.

They had underestimated the enemy after all.

However, he himself was actually safe.

After all, he was now Jiang Yi, and aligned with the rebels.

There was no rescuing Qingzhou now; the only option was to try to seize the amber bead from Wanyan Wu Hai and see if there was a chance to kill him.

Ran Qingchen had originally planned to stay, but Jiang Shouzhong insisted that she stay with Li Nanshuang.

Perhaps seeing Dugu Luoxue’s formidable cultivation, the woman had not been stubborn this time. However, before leaving, she still emphasized that as long as Jiang Shouzhong remained in Qingzhou, she would never leave.

Around the hour of Chen, the sky had already brightened, but the rain continued unceasingly.

A carriage stopped at the entrance of the small courtyard.

This time, the person who came to pick him up was not Liu Wuxu but the rotund merchant Zhang Fuwang.

"Brother Jiang, sorry to have kept you waiting," said the mountainous Zhang Fuwang, who did not alight from the carriage, but pulled back the curtain to peek out his large round face, smiling and saying, "Wanyan and Miss Liu have already gone to the underground palace; I am here to fetch you."

Jiang Shouzhong nodded and got into the carriage.

Although the carriage was spacious, because Zhang Fuwang was indeed very fat, he almost filled up half the carriage, forcing Jiang Shouzhong to sit by the door.

Especially since this rotund man had two scantily clad young girls in his arms.

Zhang Fuwang was undoubtedly very lecherous.

And it was to a degree almost filled to the marrow with lust.

According to the information Jiang Yi had received from Jiang Yi, this man even had designs on his own sister when he was young.

One could say, this fellow was never without a woman.

Initially, in the Ancient Brahma Temple, although he verbally stated he wouldn’t dare offend the princess, those lust-filled eyes secretly glanced at her hundreds of times.

Sitting beside him, Jiang Shouzhong saw everything clearly.

Yet, such a man had greatly aided Jiang Shouzhong.
