Chapter 91: A Second Shocking Meeting!
On a tree-lined road in the deep forest, the surrounding branches creaked with the wind. Dark green leaves fell to the ground, adding a thick layer of the green quilt to the dark soil. In the gap between the leaves and the branches, the sunlight filtered through, creating a serene atmosphere.
However, in this quiet place, a massacre was happening!
A group of men in black surrounded four tall men who were covered in wounds, black mud, and red blood. The four men were in a protective position, protecting a man wearing a mask in the middle.
Jiang Zhennan half-knelt on the ground, the long knife in his hand was stained with blood that had turned black, but it could not hide its sharpness.
He held the handle of the knife with one hand and used it to support his entire weight. He used the other hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth under the mask.!!
His sharp eyes under the mask shot straight at the men in black. Then, he looked at the subordinates who were protecting him and said in a stern and stern tone, “Guo Bing, little three, little six, little twelve, don’t worry about me. Fight your way out and save yourselves. Don’t die here with me!”
It was all his fault. He was so careless that he fell into a trap. The poison had reached his heart. He couldn’t hold on for long.
However, his brothers still had a chance to live. As long as they gave up on him, they could kill their way out.
“No, boss!” Guo Bing’s expression was serious, without a trace of his usual cheeky smile. He said seriously, “You are the War God of Long Yan Country. We can all die, but you can’t.”
That person and the people from Zhengguo Court were too vicious. For their own selfishness, they actually colluded to poison their boss.
By the time they discovered it, the poison was already on the verge of acting up. The doctors in the capital were helpless, and only the divine Doctor Wu Yazi might have a chance of saving Jiang Zhennan.
In order to find the legendary doctor, they departed from the general’s residence overnight. They didn’t expect to be assassinated the moment they left the capital.
It was obvious that those people had already predicted that they would leave the capital to find Wu Yazi, so they’d set up an ambush along the way, waiting for them to leave the city and then start hunting them down.
From twenty-five of them, there were only five of them left, including their boss.
However, at this moment, the poison in the general’s body had taken effect. The four of them were not enough to deal with the more than 20 men in black. However, they still didn’t want to give up.
Regardless, Jiang Zhennan wasn’t going to let his men sacrifice themselves for him.
Jiang Zhennan’s heart was filled with sorrow.
Jiang Zhennan did not die on the battlefield as a general should, but he was going to die due to the conspiracy from within the Imperial Palace.
He was very indignant and unwilling. The anger in his heart made him want to kill his way back to the capital and kill those selfish, despicable, and shameless people who did not care about the safety of the country and the interests of the people. However, at this moment, he could do nothing about it.
The poison had reached his heart, and he didn’t have long to live. However, his brothers were still so young. Therefore, no matter what, he had to protect his brothers.
He had already let down the 20 brothers who had sacrificed their lives for him.
Jiang Zhennan propped himself up with a knife. Then, with a stern look in his sharp eyes, he ordered, “Guo Bing, take little three, little six, and little twelve with you and rush out. Don’t worry about me. This is an order!”
The bloodied faces of Guo Bing and the other three suddenly changed, and they said in shock, “General! We swear to die with you!”
Jiang Zhennan said sternly, “This is my last order to you as your general. Are you going to disobey my order? As soldiers, you should be very clear that it is your duty to follow orders! So, I order you to abandon me and retreat!”
Upon hearing Jiang Zhennan’s words, one of the men in black, who was standing at the back of the group, said sarcastically, “Haha, Jiang Zhennan, you’re about to die, but you still want to put on the airs to save the lives of your subordinates. This is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen!”
