Zheng Ji knew very well that even if Ling Hanxiao deserved death, even if she had enough reasons, she could not convict Ling Hanxiao on the spot.
The only one who can convict him is his father.
And before being convicted, it still needs to go through three judges...
so what?
There was no need for her to convict him. The reason why she had the patience to fight with Ling Hanxiao was just to appease the others present.
On a deeper level, it was just to appease the Shannan Guard soldiers who were not present in advance to avoid causing turmoil in Shannan Road.
What she has to do now is to tell Zhao Shuao and others why she did what she did and win their support.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished these words, Zhao Shuao continued to ask urgently: "Your Highness, please tell me carefully, what is going on?"
The matter of the armory is too important, and the third prince... The third prince's life or death is now uncertain. ap..
Zheng Ji lowered his eyes, with a sad look on his face: "Pavilion Master...Brother Three Emperors has suffered an accident, and the dead man who was just Brother Three Emperors has been summoned urgently."
This sentence made everyone's expressions suddenly change.
The third prince...is dead?
Not long ago, the Shannan Guards soldiers urgently reported this matter. Why did they... die before they could figure out the truth?
The third prince has indeed been demoted to a commoner. If he dies of old age naturally, then of course nothing will happen. But if he dies in captivity on the mountain, that is not the case.
Ling Hanxiao took a step back involuntarily, but felt a stinging pain on his neck, as the cold blade cut through his skin.
He looked at the general Chang Dingsu holding the sword in shock, and suddenly realized that his previous idea was terribly wrong.
There is nothing Princess Changding dares not to do. Even if he is a third-grade general of the imperial court, she dares to kill him!
If she is really determined to do this, he may die at any time. As for whether it will be difficult for her to end it - how can he take care of this when his life is gone?
Only then did he realize that he was afraid, and once this fear came out from the bottom of his heart, he couldn't suppress it no matter what.
He may die. This is not a joke, he may die!
Zheng Ji opened his phoenix eyes and said calmly: "General Ling, please don't move around, otherwise, the sword has no eyes..."
Qin Zhou heard the elegant meaning of Xian Ge and increased the force in his hand. The blade immediately penetrated the flesh and blood seeped out.
This is a clear shock, or in other words, a threat.
Ling Hanxiao's body was stiff and he didn't dare to move.
At this moment, he extremely regretted the act of restraining himself just now.
Otherwise, with his martial arts skills, how could a fourth-grade long Dingyou rate be his opponent?
Zhao Shuao, who was standing next to him, was filled with confusion.
Whether it was Ling Hanxiao's private arsenal or the accident that happened to the third prince, or even Princess Chang Ding's sword pointing at a third-rank military officer in the imperial court, it was completely beyond his understanding.
Now, what should he say? What can he say?
"Pavilion Master, don't worry, I know what's going on and will never act haphazardly."
It was obvious that her subordinate was still holding Ling Hanxiao's neck with a knife, but for some reason, Zhao Shuao felt a little relieved.
Fortunately, His Highness Changding is still sensible. These words should be just talk... right?
Zheng Ji's words could only temporarily appease people like Zhao Shuao from Jingzhao Wuge, but they had no effect on Ling Hanxiao's soldiers.
They were deeply trusted by Ling Hanxiao, and they did a lot of things overtly and covertly. Whether it was Liyun Village or the weapons depot, they were more or less involved.
The other ordinary soldiers of Shannan Guard could be said to have been deceived, and those who did not know were not guilty, but as Ling Hanxiao's closest confidants, they could not escape no matter what. Read the book
The generals closest to Ling Hanxiao were secretly thinking about how to turn the situation around.
The general has been controlled. No matter how fast they go, they can't move faster than the long knife on the general's neck.
There is only one way to save the general,
That is……
Several of the generals looked at Zheng Ji, unable to make up their minds.
Firstly, it was because the scene of Princess Changding easily killing a deputy general outside the Lizhou government office appeared in his mind. Secondly, it was because he always remembered that the other party was a princess of the imperial dynasty.
Princess Changding could hold the general at sword point and threaten the general in public, but they... couldn't.
If they do this, they will harm the emperor's heir in public, which is a serious crime!
You can't move, you can't be still. No matter how you look at it, there is a dead end ahead.
Ling Hanxiao was worried inside and was about to cough to signal the generals to calm down.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Ji never gave him a chance to signal.
She looked at the soldiers who were about to make a move: "As for you..." She said brazenly: "You must be the accomplices of the tiger, and your crimes are also unforgivable! Can't you just surrender and be captured?!"
"Come on! Take them down!"
"Your Highness, no!" Zhao Shuao stopped him hastily, "Your Highness, Chang Dingsu and Shannan Guard are both soldiers of the imperial dynasty. They are the ones who protect their home and country. How can they point the long swords in their hands at their comrades?"
It's not that Zhao Shu'ao didn't know about Shannan Wei's anomalies or that there was something fishy about this matter, but he was older and his heart had softened a lot. He really didn't want to see the soldiers of the country and dynasty killing each other, and he didn't want to see the blood here in Lishan. Flow into a river.
"Pavilion Master, do you know... that the body of Brother Three Emperors is... not far away?"
Zheng Jixuan was about to cry: "The ones who killed the Third Emperor Brother were not the bandits from Lishan, but...but the Shannan Guard soldiers arranged by Ling Hanxiao!"
She gritted her teeth, as if suppressing all her grief, then raised her chin and said resolutely: "Master, there is no need to say more! We are already very calm! We will not kill them, we will tie them all up. Send them, along with the body of the third emperor brother, to Jingzhao immediately to my father!"
In this way, these Shannan guards will be sent to die!
These words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, making the Shannan guardsmen, whose eyes were already red, even more angry.
They didn't know anything about the third prince, but they knew everything about Liyun Village and the weapons depot.
If Yuncong really killed the third prince, then Princess Changding would definitely pin this crime on them.
At that time, colluding with bandits, setting up private arsenals, and murdering the emperor's heir...how can they survive? !
Ling Hanxiao knew very well in his heart that Zheng Ji was deliberately irritating his soldiers, hoping that they would be unable to restrain themselves and take the lead.
Once they take the initiative, His Highness will have reason to kill them openly!
This move is exactly the same as that of Lizhou Mansion Yamen!
Ling Hanxiao's close confidants thought the same way. Although they were scared and angry inside, and even the veins on the back of their hands were protruding, they tried their best to maintain their composure and never pulled out the long knife.
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
