Chapter 259 We Meet Again
In the pouring rain, a fierce battle was taking place in the dilapidated courtyard.
Jiang Asheng, Lu Jianxing, Shen Lian, and Jin Yichuan were wreaking havoc in the crowd.
Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that their enemies are actually the people from the Eastern Depot.
"Why are the Embroidered Uniform Guards fighting with the Eastern Depot? And why are they fighting so fiercely?"
Wanwan, hiding outside the wall, was shocked to see this scene.
"I heard that Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch of the Eastern Depot, was recently investigated by the emperor. It seems that problems have been found."
The person in this room is Wei Zhongxian, the former governor, who is trying to escape the capital with his remaining troops.
These Imperial Guards were there to eliminate them.
"I see. So tell me, do you want the Embroidered Uniform Guard to capture them alive, or to kill them all?"
Wanwan asked curiously.
"He should be alive, right? After all, there's still a lot Wei Zhongxian can say."
Now that he can cooperate with the emperor, the Eastern Depot is under the emperor's control.
However, Cao Zhengchun, the current head of the Eastern Depot, probably wishes he were dead.
After all, what Wei Zhongxian said could involve him.
"That's true. Look, those Eastern Depot agents are about to be slaughtered by the Embroidered Uniform Guard."
Wanwan pointed to the people in the courtyard and said.
"These four Imperial Guards are quite strong, so dealing with these people is naturally no problem."
However, this is probably not the end.
Gu Qianbei's ears twitched; he heard someone nearby.
That person, like them, was watching the show.
However, he seemed to be barely able to contain his murderous intent.
"This aura... it feels somewhat familiar."
Gu Qianbei frowned slightly, but for a moment she couldn't remember.
Soon, Jiang Asheng and his three companions had killed all the agents of the Eastern Depot, leaving only Wei Zhongxian alive.
"Wei Zhongxian! Surrender! Come back with us obediently and explain everything."
The Emperor will give you a respectable treatment.
Otherwise, you'll lose even your last shred of dignity.
Jiang Asheng said in a cold voice.
"I resigned from my post ten years ago! What can I possibly explain?"
Wei Zhongxian said helplessly.
"What can be explained is only known to His Majesty. All you can do is cooperate."
Don't make things difficult for us.
Wei Zhongxian threw a bag of gold off the table.
In an instant, the ground was covered with gold fragments.
The four of them were taken aback when they saw this.
"Here's all this gold! But can you spare my life?"
All I want is to live.
"Sorry, no."
Jiang Asheng said coldly.
"You are truly obedient dogs by the emperor's side."
Wei Zhongxian mocked.
"Since you're unwilling to cooperate, then we'll have no choice but to cooperate for you."
As Jiang Asheng spoke, he gestured for the other three to make their move.
Lu Jianxing immediately nodded, picked up his embroidered spring knife, and charged directly at Wei Zhongxian.
But at that moment, a sword aura suddenly attacked!
"Watch out, brother!"
Shen Lian was the first to react, and he swung his sword to block the sword energy.
But the terrifying sword energy still forced him to retreat repeatedly.
"You've got some skill; you actually managed to block my sword."
Cao Shaoqin jumped out from the side and landed next to Wei Zhongxian.
That sword strike just now was his doing.
"Old Supervisor, are you alright?"
Cao Shaoqin looked at Wei Zhongxian and smiled faintly.
But Wei Zhongxian showed no joy on his face, only a helpless sigh.
"What? Even Cao Zhengchun isn't willing to let me go?"
"Old Supervisor, you jest. Your godfather was promoted by you, how could he possibly lay a hand on you?"
He just wanted to give you a better future.
"hehe."
Wei Zhongxian sneered.
Cao Zhengchun was taught by him personally, so how could he not understand the other party's thoughts?
Cao Shaoqin was clearly sent by the other side to send him to his death.
At that time, he was really doing poorly.
The emperor sent men to arrest him and bring him back, and the Eastern Depot sent men to kill him.
It seems like a dead end no matter how you look at it.
"So it was him. No wonder he seemed so familiar."
Gu Qianbei recognized Cao Shaoqin and immediately realized who it was.
Then he thought of something else and looked at Wanwan.
"Did you beat up Cao Shaoqin before you left back then?"
"Yeah. That guy hurt you, I have to make him pay for it, right?"
What? You want to thank me?
Wanwan smiled mischievously.
"It was rare for a girl to stand up for me, and I felt incredibly happy at that moment."
"Then you'd better thank me properly."
"I'll definitely do it next time."
"You're stingy. But since we've run into each other again, do you want to vent your anger yourself?"
With his cultivation level, even if you're still recovering from your serious injuries, he should be able to handle you, right?
Gu Qianbei nodded slightly.
"It's not difficult to deal with. Let's watch this play first."
"it is good."
Unbeknownst to the people in the courtyard, two yellow orioles were secretly watching.
At this moment, Cao Shaoqin stood in front of Wei Zhongxian, facing Jiang Asheng and his three companions directly, putting considerable pressure on them.
"I didn't expect even Cao Shaoqin, the deputy director of the Eastern Depot, to come. It seems that the Eastern Depot also attaches great importance to Wei Zhongxian."
Jiang Asheng said in a low voice.
"Don't say I didn't give you a chance. If you leave now, I might spare your lives."
Cao Shaoqin said with a cold expression.
"Cao Shaoqin, this is an order from above. Are you trying to disobey it?"
Jiang Asheng said coldly.
"There is a difference between His Majesty's order and the order of the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard."
Why did you send you here if you know the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard?
This is a job that will offend people, and only you guys can do it.
They were being used as pawns without even realizing it.
You died without injustice.
Cao Shaoqin sneered and then made his move.
With a swing of his longsword, the powerful sword energy remained as sharp as ever.
Jiang Asheng and his three companions immediately felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"Be careful!"
The four immediately dispersed, forming a siege formation that surrounded Cao Shaoqin.
Cao Shaoqin was not afraid at all and fought the four men with his long sword.
He actually gained the upper hand all by himself.
"Cao Shaoqin has made considerable progress in the past year."
However, he's still just a grandmaster.
After watching the match for a while, Gu Qianbei gave his evaluation.
"Do you think everyone is like you? Reaching the Grandmaster level in just one year?"
Wanwan complained.
"That was achieved through diligent practice."
Gu Qianbei said confidently.
Just then, Jiang Asheng and his three companions in the courtyard were almost unable to withstand Cao Shaoqin's offensive.
"Should we intervene? Your friends seem to be dying."
Wanwan asked.
Gu Qianbei didn't answer, because he made his move directly.
call out!
The sword that had been suspended in mid-air flew out instantly, directly blocking Cao Shaoqin's longsword that was aimed at Shen Lian.
After deflecting the attack, the golden sword was stuck in the ground.
"who!"
Cao Shaoqin was greatly surprised when his seemingly certain sword strike was suddenly blocked.
What frightened him even more was that he hadn't sensed anyone else nearby at all.
Jiang Asheng and his three companions were overjoyed to see that others had also made a move.
Because they simply couldn't hold them off any longer.
"We meet again, Cao Shaoqin."
The next moment, Gu Qianbei landed in front of the Stop-Cup Sword and looked at Cao Shaoqin with a smile.
"It was you!"
