Chapter 141 Sending Chu Ling as a Favor
Jiang Li glanced at him coldly and said slowly, "Someone come here."
"I'm here!" The guards bowed.
"Bring out the person who broke the barrier of Changsheng Island today."
Everyone suddenly realized what was going on and looked around at the mess. They had almost forgotten that this person must be hiding on this ship.
"Yes!"
The guards immediately split up and searched every place on the boat where people could hide. Jiang Li reached out and took the long knife from Ming Ye's hand and put it against Chu Ling's neck.
Ming Ye was dazed for a moment, and when he came to his senses, his pupils suddenly constricted, worried that Li Niang would be hurt by the sharp blade.
"Lady Li!"
Jiang Li glanced at him lightly, gave him a comforting look, and then looked coldly at the pale and stubborn Chu Ling.
"Who told you where the barrier of Changsheng Island is, and who gave you the courage to offend my Daning Liu family again!"
Jiang Li believed that no matter in the past life or this life, outsiders who knew the secrets of Changsheng Island would definitely be a disaster in the future.
Chu Ling was completely unafraid. The pride hidden in his bones made it impossible for him to bow to anyone. "Stop talking nonsense. If you don't want to let me go, then come at me if you want to kill me. I, Chu Ling, am not a coward."
After hearing this, Jiang Li admired the man's courage.
To be honest, the misfortunes that the original couple suffered in their previous life had nothing to do with Chu Ling, so they should not have met by chance.
However, with the changes in her and Zhou Chunfeng, they were destined to be irreconcilable with the Daqing royal family.
"Island Master, the person has been found!"
At this time, two guards pulled out a middle-aged man wearing a white Taoist robe from the cabin. The guards forced the man to kneel in front of Jiang Li.
"My lady, it's him. He claims to be the imperial teacher of this dynasty."
The middle-aged man's hat was askew, and he was obviously frightened by his current situation. His face turned pale, and he trembled as he begged for mercy: "My lords, please spare my life. I am only following orders."
After the Imperial Master finished speaking, his eyes fell on the embarrassed Second Prince, and his heart sank even more.
Even the honorable Second Prince of this dynasty had a knife at his neck, with no room for maneuver. How could he, a mere Taoist priest who was not even capable of tying up a chicken, escape from this?
Jiang Li cast a cold gaze on the Imperial Master. From his cunning and scheming eyes, it was clear that this Taoist was not one to keep quiet.
"You broke the barrier?"
The Imperial Master was so frightened that he trembled all over, clasping his fists and begging for mercy: "My lady, I was wrong. I was really just following orders. It was the Second Prince."
Suddenly, the Imperial Master pointed directly at Chu Ling in front of him, and Chu Ling was so angry that his eyes widened. He cursed the Imperial Master a hundred times in his heart, asking how could there be such an irresponsible and flattering minister? It was unjust that his father had trusted him so much in the past.
"It was the Second Prince who ordered me to do this. If the Second Prince had not asked the Emperor for permission, I would not have followed you. Please spare my life, lady!" After the Imperial Master said this, he kowtowed repeatedly.
He kept on rambling, "All I know is that His Highness received a secret letter a while ago, which informed us that as long as we break the maze at sea, we can successfully attack Changsheng Island."
"Lady, please spare my life. I have told you everything I know. Please show some mercy and spare my life."
Jiang Li didn't expect that this Taoist master would recruit so easily.
Looking at Chu Ling's expression at this moment, under the bright firelight, his face turned from pale to ashen blue.
"You bastard, do you think they'll spare your life even if they don't let me go?"
The Imperial Master was startled again by Chu Ling's roar. He didn't dare to look up at his distinguished master again. He lowered his head and swallowed his saliva.
However, from the Taoist's words, it can be confirmed that Chu Ling is not a reborn person, but learned the secret of Changsheng Island from outsiders.
Who could have written the secret letter to him?
In fact, Jiang Li already had a guess in his mind about who could have a relationship with Chu Ling.
But, it doesn’t matter anymore!
Jiang Li gave Ming Wu a look: "Kill him!"
Mingwu reacted quickly. As soon as Jiang Li finished speaking, the cold light of the blade in his hand flashed in front of everyone, and the Taoist priest fell to the ground without any chance to breathe.
Jiang Li believed that if a sorcerer as calculating and resourceful as the Daqing Imperial Master continued to exist in the world, there was no telling what kind of trouble he would stir up in the future.
Seeing Jiang Li giving orders in public again, Chu Ling's face no longer had the previous surprise, but more of a frustrated look.
"Send him to Yanzhou City and hand him over to Deputy General Cheng."
Jiang Li's words not only puzzled the guards and clansmen, but even Chu Ling thought he had misheard.
Of course he knew that Yanzhou City was now in the hands of the rebels. What a longevity island! Was this meant to humiliate him to death?
"My lady, this man must not be allowed to stay." Ming Ye said.
Jiang Li smiled faintly and said, "Now that the barrier on the sea has been broken, the imperial court knows the entrance to Changsheng Island, so they will inevitably send troops to attack. He is the most favored son of Emperor Qing. If we send him to the rebels as a hostage, Lieutenant General Cheng will certainly give Changsheng Island some face."
In tonight's defensive battle, the island's guards suffered heavy casualties. Although Zhou Chunfeng had entrusted Deputy General Cheng with this friendship before leaving, if there were no mutual interests, how could Deputy General Cheng easily send troops to protect Changsheng Island?
When Ming Ye heard this, he immediately realized what was going on and quickly signaled the two guards to take the man away.
Chu Ling was restrained by the guards on both sides. Furious and unable to break free, he gritted his teeth and roared, "So you've colluded with the rebels and committed treason. How dare you, Changsheng Island, commit such a heinous crime of treason."
Snapped! !
As he was being dragged past, Jiang Li raised her hand and slapped Chu Ling loudly, which stunned him immediately.
It can be said that although he is a prince, he has never been slapped in the face in his life.
"Treason?" Jiang Li gave him a cold sidelong glance. "When it comes to treason, the Chu family of Daqing is first and no one dares to say second. Take him away!"
"Yes!"
Two guards easily grabbed Chu Ling and brought him aboard a fishing boat. The imprisoned Chu Ling glared fiercely at the large boat above him: "I, Daqing, will never forgive you. I will slaughter you all in the future. Ugh."
One of the guards was annoyed by his noise, so he tore off a piece of his clothes and forced it into Chu Ling's mouth to block out his incompetent roar.
Seeing this, Ming Ye bowed and said, "Madam, I will clean up this place for you. Please return to the island."
Jiang Li looked at everyone and nodded, "Those with serious injuries will go aboard first. The rest will stay to clean up the scene, carefully search the ship for military supplies, and bring them back to the island."
"Yes."
It would be a shame to lose the military supplies that are delivered to your door for free.
After tonight, Changsheng Island will no longer be the mysterious island it once was. Next, she will have to carefully plan the island's defenses to prevent any disasters from happening.
