Chapter 251 The betrayal of Cao Jixiang!
After receiving the reply, Jiang Kuanglong left Kunning Palace with a heart full of anger and murderous intent.
On the way out of the palace, I saw a familiar figure passing by in a hurry.
He took a closer look and called out the man's name.
"Cao Jixiang?"
Cao Jixiang was startled when he heard someone calling his name.
When he saw clearly that the person calling his name was Jiang Kuanglong, he was so scared that his legs were shaking like sieves.
"Jiang, Jiang, Duke Jiang!"
Jiang Kuanglong narrowed his eyes and looked Cao Jixiang up and down.
"Eunuch Cao, now that Li Changsheng is dead, are you going to be loyal to him, or do you want to find another way out?"
Cao Jixiang knew that Jiang Kuanglong and Li Changsheng had a blood feud.
His heart trembled, and he mumbled, "Jiang, Jiang, Duke Jiang, I was forced into the East Depot. Everything Li Changsheng did has nothing to do with me!"
Seeing that Jiang Kuanglong hadn't even taken any action yet, Cao Jixiang was anxious to distance himself from Li Changsheng.
A hint of contempt suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"Eunuch Cao, as the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. I will naturally not count Li Changsheng's sins against you, but..."
Cao Jixiang was very surprised when he heard the first half of Jiang Kuanglong's sentence.
But when I heard the second half of his sentence, I suddenly added a "but".
My heart, which hadn't even fallen into my stomach, was once again hanging in my throat.
His voice trembled as he asked cautiously, "Duke Jiang, but what?"
Jiang Kuanglong sneered coldly and said, "However, you have worked under Li Changsheng before. You can escape the death penalty, but you can't escape the punishment of living."
"If you want to atone for your sins, you must work for me obediently!"
Cao Jixiang asked, "Duke Jiang, what do you want me to do?"
Jiang Kuanglong asked, "I heard that Li Changsheng has a pair of twin sisters under his command, named Lanruo and Lanzhi. Do you know them?"
Cao Jixiang nodded repeatedly and said, "I know. I gave them to Li Changsheng!"
Jiang Kuanglong said: "If that's the case, then it's easy. Bring them both to me tonight!"
"As long as this matter is accomplished, I will recommend you, Cao Jixiang, to the Empress Dowager to take charge of the East Factory!"
Faced with such a huge temptation thrown by Jiang Kuanglong, Cao Jixiang's remaining conscience was gone.
He immediately patted his chest and made a solemn promise.
That night, Cao Jixiang took a few of his lackeys and headed straight for Beiyuan.
Lan Ruo heard the noise and hurried forward to check.
"Who's out there?"
Cao Jixiang said, "Lanruo, you two sisters, come with me!"
Lan Ruo asked cautiously, "Where are you going?"
Cao Jixiang showed a sinister smile and shouted fiercely: "You'll know when we get there!"
After saying that, he waved at his men.
"Take these two sisters home with us!"
Upon hearing this, several eunuchs and thugs stepped forward to take the sisters Lanruo and Lanzhi away.
At this moment, Xiao Chenzi suddenly rushed over with a steel knife in his hand.
He raised his sword and chopped off the eunuch's arm on the spot.
Cao Jixiang never expected that another young man would show up on the road.
He shouted angrily: "Little Chen, you are looking for death!"
Little Chenzi shouted angrily, "Cao Jixiang, as long as I'm here, don't even think about touching Lanruo and Lanzhi!"
Cao Jixiang laughed in anger and shouted, "You're courting death!"
As he spoke, he suddenly slapped out his palm and hit Xiao Chenzi.
After this period of training, little Chen Zicai has just reached the late yellow level.
However, Cao Jixiang is a master in the late Xuan level.
There's a huge difference between the two of them.
Therefore, after just a few encounters, this little Chenzi was defeated.
Seeing this, the sisters Lanruo and Lanzhi exchanged glances quickly and rushed forward with swords drawn.
The two sisters have good talent in martial arts, and they are personally guided by Li Changsheng.
They all broke through the bottleneck of the late yellow level and advanced to the mysterious level.
Especially Lan Ruo, who practiced extremely hard, has even reached the middle stage of the Xuan level.
In Cao Jixiang's impression, the sisters Lanruo and Lanzhi are a pair of sweet-looking little palace maids.
I never thought that after just a few months of not seeing them, their skills would be so amazing.
Caught off guard, he was injured on the spot by Lan Ruo.
Cao Jixiang looked at his scratched arm and immediately became angry and embarrassed.
"Go ahead and take them down!"
Following Cao Jixiang's shout, the eunuch thugs quickly surrounded them.
The sisters Lanruo and Lanzhi have very little combat experience.
Just now, it was only by taking Cao Jixiang by surprise that I was able to injure him.
Now, facing the siege of this group of eunuch thugs, he was gradually falling into a disadvantage.
The two sisters, along with little Chenzi, fought and retreated, and finally entered the secret passage.
Upon seeing this, Cao Jixiang immediately took a group of eunuchs and thugs and chased in.
"Lanruo, Lanzhi, Li Changsheng is dead now. You two sisters should surrender obediently to avoid physical pain!"
Lan Ruo opened her eyes wide and accused angrily.
"Cao Jixiang, my master treated you well when he was alive. Now that his body is still warm, you're jumping out and turning against him. Do you have any humanity left?"
After hearing Lan Ruo's accusation, Cao Jixiang laughed out loud as if he had heard a huge joke.
"Haha, Lan Ruo, you are so naive, actually talking to me about human nature!"
"In this deep palace, anyone with a shred of humanity would have been wiped out long ago."
Lanzhi said angrily, "Sister, why are you wasting time talking to such a fickle villain? Just fight him!"
"At worst, we two sisters will die. Then we can go to the underworld to serve our master!"
Looking at Lanzhi's face, which was always quirky, she now showed an expression of fearlessness and determination to face death.
This shocked Cao Jixiang greatly.
He looked fierce but was actually weak, and shouted coldly.
"Haha, it's not that easy to die!"
"Come here, capture them for me! Duke Jiang specifically ordered that they must be taken alive!"
Lanzhi drew her sword and stabbed the eunuch thug who was rushing in front of her directly, killing him through the heart.
Seeing this, the other eunuch thugs wanted to rush forward and attack.
Lanzhi was unable to hold on for a moment and was forced to retreat again and again.
Until it hit the wall.
She felt a button beneath her and pressed it hard.
I saw the wall turned into a stone door and slowly opened.
Lanzhi felt curious and stared at the rotating stone door.
As a result, the horrifying scene that came into her eyes almost scared her to death.
"Ah, there's a ghost!"
Hearing her sister's scream, Lan Ruo subconsciously looked back.
When she saw what was behind the stone door, her pupils suddenly dilated, filled with disbelief and horror.
"Jiang Li? Isn't he dead? Why is he here?"
Just when the two sisters were distracted, Cao Jixiang suddenly rushed forward.
He suddenly swung out his palm and slapped Lan Ruo hard on the back.
"Pfft!"
Lan Ruo felt her internal organs churning, her throat felt hot, and she suddenly vomited out large mouthfuls of blood.
Moreover, it hit the face of "Jiang Li" right on target.
Immediately, the stiff corpse began to move like a clockwork puppet...
