Girl, let me check it out.

They were all moved by Ji Gang's selfless act of saving others.

Ji Gang clasped his fists and saluted to everyone.

At this moment, the crowd gradually quieted down.

The scene was silent for a while.

Ji Gang turned around and saw that the group of horsemen turned their horses around and drove their horses slowly towards him.

A young man with a sinister face was at the front and seemed to be the leader of the group.

As he approached Ji Gang, he spoke:

"I am Wang Zhongguang, son of the Minister of the Central Secretariat Wang Tun and of the Shangyuan Wang clan."

Ji Gang was secretly alert.

Uehara Wang Clan? Isn't that the family that is at odds with His Highness?

"I am Ji Gang, a commoner. I am honored to meet you, Master Wang."

Ji Gang bowed and saluted without being humble or arrogant.

"Well, no need to be polite."

Wang Zhongguang smiled kindly and waved his hand.

"I came back specially just to ask..."

"Would you be willing to do something for me in the future?"

As soon as these words were spoken, they caused an uproar among the crowd.

Master Wang Er actually invited Ji Gang to work for him?

No matter what this person's character is, he is the son of the Uehara Wang family after all!

If you are with someone like this, won't you have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life?

Although His Royal Highness Prince Guangling is a vassal prince, he is still far inferior to this young master in the context of the decline of the royal family.

For a moment, everyone cast envious glances at Ji Gang.

Why are you still hesitating? Just agree!

Many people even secretly thought in their hearts that if they were Ji Gang, they would definitely agree directly.

"I am grateful for your kindness, but Ji Gang only wants to make a living for the elders and fellow villagers, and cannot enter the high government."

Ji Gang refused without any hesitation.

Everyone was in an uproar again.

But they couldn't help but feel a bit of admiration and shame for Ji Gang.

Ji Gang is truly a good man who values ​​friendship and loyalty!

"Um……"

Wang Zhongguang nodded without comment.

"You really don't want to?"

He asked condescendingly while sitting on horseback.

Ji Gang said nothing, but bowed again.

The enormous pressure was transmitted to Ji Gang, but he remained calm.

The onlookers were all worried for him.

But to their surprise, Wang Zhongguang simply said:

"Okay, you can go."

There was no intention of settling accounts with Ji Gang at all.

Ji Gang was also unsure of what Wang Zhongguang wanted to do.

But since he said so, Ji Gang had no choice but to agree.

He saluted again and turned to leave.

I'm afraid that the Shangyuan Wang family is going to make a big move. I have to find a way to contact His Royal Highness Prince Guangling in the next few days and ask him to be more careful...

Ji Gang was thinking this when he suddenly felt an inexplicable chill in his chest.

Then there was a sharp pain that seemed to penetrate into the soul.

Fresh red blood suddenly flowed out of Ji Gang's mouth and dripped down his chin onto the ground.

He looked down in disbelief.

A sharp sword edge had already pierced his chest, and it was stained with his own flesh and blood.

When Tao Yunjiang, who was far away, saw this scene, the blood and energy in his body surged again, and he even seemed to be able to break through the blockade and suppression.

Uncle Zhang had no choice but to increase the blood flow again.

"Uncle Zhang, let me go."

Tao Yunjiang's voice became calm at this time.

Her voice was low, but it seemed to contain boundless anger.

Uncle Zhang sighed and remained silent.

The fluctuations in his blood and energy did not weaken at all, and even increased slightly.

"I told you to let me go!"

Tao Yunjiang already held the Qi Cang sword in his hand.

She repeated it again in an extremely cold voice.

Uncle Zhang still didn't speak.

Yi Yin, wearing a cloak, just watched all this quietly, with no sadness or joy in his eyes.

"Hey!"

Wang Zhongguang pulled back the sword in his hand with great indifference, causing another splash of blood.

It was not until then that the people around realized what had happened.

A woman wanted to scream, but someone next to her covered her mouth tightly.

Some people looked angry but dared not speak out and could only lower their heads in resentment.

Just like that, on the silent and quiet street, Ji Gang slowly knelt down on the ground.

The sword pierced his lungs, and now Ji Gang had difficulty breathing.

No, I can't die yet.

I also want to tell His Highness...Uehara Wang is going to harm him!

Ji Gang struggled to support his body.

He used his hands and feet to move forward bit by bit.

His fingers dug into the dirt, leaving one bloody handprint after another.

Chapter 173 Yi Shuihan

Wang Zhongguang watched the scene coldly but did not stop it.

He sheathed his sword and followed Ji Gang leisurely, maintaining a distance not too far but not too close, with a very leisurely expression.

Because Ji Gang had lost too much blood, his vision was blurred and bloody.

Wherever he crawled, he left behind winding bloodstains, which seemed to have touched the sensitive nerves of the crowd, causing them to retreat in fear.

Ji Gang tried his best to raise his head, trying to find a familiar figure among the crowd.

Wherever he looked, people lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eye.

Among these people he tried so hard to protect, not even one stood up to speak for him.

"Whoa!"

The little boy's clear cry lasted only a second, and then stopped abruptly at his mother's horrified action.

It was the child that Ji Gang had just rescued from under the horse.

He didn't understand why everyone around him just watched when this older brother was clearly injured.

He looked at his mother with some confusion, but his mother just pulled him back a few steps silently and hid deeper in the crowd.

"You are still young now, there are some things you don't understand, but you will understand them in the future."

The middle-aged woman held her son in her arms and spoke in his ear in an extremely complicated tone.

She also lowered her head in shame, not daring to meet Ji Gang's gaze.

She prayed for Ji Gang's forgiveness in her heart.

But Ji Gang can no longer care about so many things now.

His breathing gradually became weaker, and he seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat, which was sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

It was very strange. The heartbeat was obviously not that heavy, but it sounded like a drum beating in Ji Gang's ears.

It was like the sound of a covered war drum being struck above Changyuan.

Ji Gang was in a trance, and many people flashed before his eyes, but he couldn't see any of them clearly.

A lifetime of memories replayed before his eyes like a kaleidoscope.

He wanted to catch it.

He reached out his hand tremblingly, but caught nothing.

"Brother Ji!"

Ji Gang heard the anxious and shrill cries of his brothers.

With blood and energy condensed in their hands, they pushed away the silent crowd in front of them. Each of them had red eyes and hair standing on end with anger.

Someone took out a sword that was shining with cold light, and was ready to risk his life to avenge Ji Gang.

"do not come."

Ji Gang squeezed out a few words with blood foam from his mouth.

"Liu Lin, take them away! Go find His Highness!"

Ji Gang growled.

Liu Lin was trembling all over and tears welled up in his eyes.

He stood there, motionless.

"Quick! Get out of here!"

With a bang, Liu Lin threw away the sword in his hand and held down several brothers beside him.

Ji Gang watched their figures disappear into the crowd and then heaved a sigh of relief.

Consciousness is slowly leaving my body.

Ji Gang knew that he was probably going to die.

Unfortunately, he can only repay His Highness’s kindness in his next life.

He used up his last bit of strength, pulled out the copper coin from his collar and held it in his hand.

The copper coin was stained with scarlet blood and felt warm and slippery.

I didn't get to see you again before I died.

Ji Gang laughed miserably, slowly closed his eyes, and then fell silent.

he died.

A huge sadness instantly enveloped the crowd nearby.
