Griffin Commander in the Late Ming Dynasty

"I see. But...if he really goes back, the people..."

"Don't worry, Brother Wang, he won't live to see that day."

Not long after, because the reception room needed to be cleaned and the smell disappeared, and Jiang Han felt uncomfortable sitting there since someone had just died, the meeting place was changed to a small pavilion in the yard.

"Welcome, welcome. It seems that our envoy has thought it through this time?"

Looking at Jiang Han's smiling face, the deputy envoy felt very angry, but there was nothing he could do about it. He had to be nicer to others, so he could only force himself to put on a smile: "Yes, we came with great sincerity this time, but we have a request"

"Oh? Any more requests?"

Jiang Han put on an expression as if he was listening attentively.

"Please listen first, Your Excellency. This is because this matter is of great importance. Lord Beile is of noble status, so we must send people to protect his safety. If we were to lead the army into the city, I'm afraid you would not be willing. Therefore, trading outside the city is the best option."

"I see, that's very thoughtful. What about the time?"

"This... the sooner the better. How about tomorrow? We have brought all the money."

"Okay, tomorrow is tomorrow. You guys go back first. We will definitely bring people out of the city to trade tomorrow."

"Then we will look forward to your arrival."

The two of them finished their agreement with a smile, but their faces instantly fell as they turned around. When they left, Jiang Han quickly started yelling

"Quick, quick, someone, come and replace the tables and chairs here, and disinfect them thoroughly with alcohol. The lice on this dog are about to jump onto me."

The messenger on the other side also had a gloomy face: "Have someone prepare a new set of clothes for me, and burn this one!"

The next day, outside the city, both parties arrived at the transaction location on time.

"General Jiang, you have finished counting the silver, but where are our people?"

Starting yesterday, Jiang Han sent the accountant to calculate the amount of silver, weighing it one by one to verify it, to avoid the situation of passing inferior goods off as good ones. It took a day to finally count it all. Now the transaction is about to be successful. The deputy envoy, the troops, and now the ambassador, can't help but feel a little anxious at this moment.

"Don't worry, come and bring the person over here."

Jiang Han clapped his hands, and the two of them brought Ajige out of the carriage: "See, he is intact, alive and well, with no missing limbs or limp."

"Then let's pay."

"Single-hand delivery, that's it, the person is yours"

Jiang Han clapped his hands, had Ajige untied, and sent him back to the Qing army envoys' team.

"My Lord, I am too late to save you. I deserve to die..."

While apologizing, the ambassador checked Ajige's condition. Ajige was extremely weak at the moment, and all his teeth had been pulled out, which made the ambassador furious.

"Jiang Han! You!!"

"Don't get excited, I can't do anything about it. Your prince is so stubborn that he would bite his tongue to commit suicide if he was caught. I can't do anything about it either."

Jiang Han put on a bear-like gesture and said, "If I didn't do that, wouldn't you all be unable to see your Lord Beile now? You should thank me."

"Okay...very good...take Lord Beile away! Jiang Han, I hope you can live to get this money and spend it!"

Several knights quickly helped Ajige onto the carriage. The driver whipped his horse and left quickly. As they went farther and farther away, suddenly, a loud thunder-like sound came from the hillside next to them. At the same time, a cloud of dust suddenly splashed up from a patch of grass not far from Jiang Han.

"Target at coordinate 304 has been solved, 16 left"

Slowly pushing the bullet out of the gun barrel, NTW reported the results of the battle in the channel.

"Defensive formation, take the commander to the car first"

This time Jiang Han came out with the entire humanoid team as bodyguards. He had long guessed that these Tartar dogs would not have clean hands. As expected, these people started to take action immediately after Ajige was captured.

"I see nearly a thousand target units approaching this side quickly from about two kilometers away. You better act quickly."

"Do not worry"

416 easily loaded the gun in his hand, his face full of confidence: "We are professionals in protecting important people"

AA12 and LTLX had already come to Jiang Han's side, and with the addition of four Holy Shield SWAPs and eight large shields, they were well protected: "Take the commander to the car first, and leave this to us."

Although the Qing army could not pose any threat to Jiang Han with such an all-star lineup, the humanoids were still worried and wanted their commander to leave the battlefield as soon as possible so that they could be free. Jiang Han also knew that he was a burden if he stayed here, so he acted very quickly.

The crossbowmen lying in ambush in the grass realized something was wrong when they heard the gunshots, and immediately began to pull the trigger towards Jiang Han. However, it was all in vain. Their position was exposed and they were accurately killed by several AR humanoids. The crossbow arrows they fired were also firmly blocked by the holy shield.

At this moment, a black line appeared in the distance. It was several hundred cavalrymen. It was a sinister move by Huang Taiji. During the transaction, he ambushed a team of cavalrymen and a scout unit, just waiting for the transaction to be successful. As a large amount of silver needed to be transported back, they could not move too fast. The light cavalry six miles away could easily catch up with them, and even if the situation was not right, the crossbowmen could directly launch an assassination, just to keep Jiang Han here. This move could be said to be extremely insidious. It was a pity that the opponent was Jiang Han.

"To be honest, this is the first time I've seen a cavalry charge in the wilderness. It really feels oppressive..."

Watching those black lines approaching, the cavalrymen whistling and their figures growing larger and larger, the psychological pressure on people is very strong.

"Okay, quickly put the silver on the truck and let's go. By the way, I have a surprise for Huang Taiji, but it looks like we won't have enough time..."

Volume 328: Chapter Chapter : A Little Trick

"The commander really has a bad taste in him..."

The dolls who learned about Jiang Han's plan were also opened up by his plan and became curious about Jiang Han's former career.

"Don't look at me like that. I wrote it clearly in the letter that I would bring him back a healthy Ajige as long as he paid the money, but I didn't say that we would provide after-sales service. What Ajige becomes after he returns is no longer within the scope of our business, right?"

Jiang Han looked at the figures around him with an innocent face.

"You can tell from his mouth that he is an old swindler"

"Tsk tsk tsk... You really have no integrity, Commander."

"Yeah, yeah, that's terrible~ The commander is actually such a person."

Seeing the humanoids all making declarations of justice, Jiang Han was furious: "What are you doing? When we were together, you kept saying that you liked bad men, but now that they are really bad, you start to dislike them, right?"

Just as Jiang Han and the humanoids were emitting a sour and foul smell, Ajige was also being quickly taken to the Qing army camp by his subordinates. Now Ajige's physical and mental state could not be said to be in good condition. It could only be said that he was not far from death. He had to go to the big tent to ask a special medical officer for treatment.

Lying on the soft cushion of the carriage, Ajige looked as if he was on the verge of death. The fierce Zhang Fei was turned into Lin Daiyu.

The deputy envoy who had just been successfully promoted because of Emutli's death in the line of duty was extremely anxious at this moment. This man must not die in his hands. He had just been promoted and he had not yet enjoyed the glory and wealth. If this man died in his hands, he would be buried with the prince no matter what.

Fortunately, although Ajige looked like he was in a dying state, his physical condition was actually very good. Just like the human-shaped black bear demon, despite enduring three consecutive days of laughter, fighting, and passionate interactions with the people from the Intelligence Department, his current condition could still be considered stable. In fact, with the continuous journey and the various services of feeding him with water and food on the carriage, his condition had even improved, and he was even able to start drinking.

Tun tun tun! Ajige took a leather bag and drank the kumis inside in big gulps. He picked up a lamb leg with his left hand and wanted to chew it like before. However, his mouth was left with only his gums and he could not tear off any pieces of meat. He tried again and again, but all in vain.

Perhaps the action was too intense and involved something. Ajige frowned, put down the bag, and covered his abdomen, where he had been aching slightly and the pain was becoming more and more obvious.

Taking another big sip of wine, Ajige tried to use alcohol to suppress the pain.

The envoy beside him looked at Ajige and asked, "My Lord, are you feeling unwell?"

Ajige was so angry that someone was putting a gun on him. He glanced at the messenger and asked, "Why did you come to rescue me so late?"

Hearing this, the ambassador's heart skipped a beat, thinking, this guy is going to settle accounts with me, right? He immediately knelt down and said, "My Lord, I am innocent. I told you that when the emperor learned that you were arrested, he immediately asked me to contact the Ming Kingdom and asked them to send the ransom for you. He also immediately asked us to bring the money to rescue you. For your comfort, I have been working hard every night."

The envoy's head banged loudly on the carriage, but Ajige seemed not to hear it: "I heard that before, my brother once told the delegation not to rush to rescue people, but to put more pressure on Jiang Han to test his reaction. Later, the plan failed, and the delegation was sent out again to contact... Is this true?"

"what!?"

The ambassador was shocked. Didn't they say that Lord Beile was locked up in the old house? Where did he hear about this?

Seeing the ambassador's surprised expression, Ajige's face darkened: "Why don't you speak?"

"This...I don't know"

"You don't know, or you don't dare to say?"

"Please spare my life, Lord Beile, I really didn't know!"

"I don't know. Do you know how long I have been locked up here? A full half month! Half a month!! Half a month!!! Do you know how I spent this half month? Do you know!!!"

A leg of lamb was thrown directly at the ambassador's head, knocking him over: "You dog slave!!! Get out of here!!!"

The ambassador crawled away, and Ajige, holding his stomach, his face became increasingly gloomy.

How did he know these things? Of course, Jiang Han told him. After killing Emutli, Jiang Han came to Ajige and started a new interactive session. At that time, Ajige had just lost his thumb and was in great pain. When he saw Jiang Han, he wanted to bite him to death on the spot.

"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient. Look, you Tartars are so impatient. I know you are angry about losing your thumb, but isn't there anything I can do? I am a businessman. You see, customers come to my store, buy things without money and say dirty words, don't I have to react in return? If you want to blame someone, you should blame your brother."

"Bullshit!!!"

Ajige struggled hard and roared at Jiang Han, shouting something like "I'm going to kill you".

"I'm happy to see you so energetic, but I don't like what you said. Go, slap him twice to calm him down."

After another round of warm and friendly interaction, Ajige was no longer as lively as he was at the beginning, but became much calmer.

"Let's continue. You should know this person, right?"

He pointed to the box beside him, which contained Emutli's head, which he had just shown to Ajige.

"He is the ambassador responsible for negotiating with us to redeem you. I learned a very interesting thing from him. Your brother, Huang Taiji, doesn't want to save you at all."

"He instructed the ambassador, Emutli, not to bring any money when he came. He also instructed him to probe me as much as possible during the negotiations, to stimulate my bottom line, so that I would do something that I could not control my reason, that is... to kill you to vent my anger."

Naturally, all the things above were fabricated by Jiang Han, but the reason why the other party came here and spoke so probingly can be guessed. As a special envoy, he has neither the courage nor the right to mess around with the affairs of a beile. He cannot bear that responsibility. There is only one person who has the courage and motivation to do so - Huang Taiji.

The best lie is to mix one falsehood among nine truths. All of Jiang Han's words were true, including the tests and Huang Taiji's orders. The only difference was that he concealed the key point that Huang Taiji said - on the premise of not affecting the rescue of Ajige, and at the same time increased Huang Taiji's malicious intent.

"You are talking nonsense!!! The emperor would never do that! You despicable villain, stop trying to sow discord!!"

"Whether it is to sow discord or not is up to you to consider. I am just telling you some things you should know out of humanitarian considerations. As for what you think, I don't care."

Patting his butt, Jiang Han stood up and said, "Okay, let our Prince have a good sleep and recuperate. He still has a lot of things to do later."

After doing all this, Jiang Han also sent a message to the Scarecrow who was far away in Liaodong, asking her to spread some rumors through other people's mouths during the next action, saying that Huang Taiji deliberately poisoned Ajige to death in order to annex the White Flag. Naturally, the Scarecrow nodded in agreement.

Jiang Han didn't care what Ajige would think. What he had to do was to plant the seeds of doubt and then accelerate their growth. To achieve this, he still needed to do some small auxiliary work.

As time went on, Ajige's convoy was getting closer and closer to the military tent. Huang Taiji, who learned of this, took his men to wait several miles away to show his importance.

At this moment, Huang Taiji was looking forward to seeing Ajige's return. On the one hand, it was because of their deep brotherhood. On the other hand, if something happened to Ajige in his hands, the clan would certainly make trouble about the matter, which would give him a headache.

As the distance got closer, Ajige felt the pain in his abdomen getting stronger and stronger. He remembered what Jiang Han had said to him in the prison. He used to sneer at those words, but now, the facts before him seemed to be mocking his naivety.

"After you die, the white flag soldiers under your command will automatically join your brothers. A general like you who is good at fighting will definitely be made a prince and command a place. If you have a group of loyal soldiers under you, it will be even worse. The first thing that the local rulers of all dynasties did after ascending the throne was to take back the military power and reduce the power of the feudal lords."

"You are his brother, so he naturally cannot attack you. However, you have a conflict with us and you have fallen into my hands. This is a godsend for him. As long as you die in our hands, he can legitimately take the flagmen of the White Banner under your command, and then support an obedient puppet flag master. The White Banner can be completely incorporated into the command of your brother Huang Taiji, which is of great benefit to his rule. He did not get much when he entered the pass this time. Instead, under his leadership, his brother was captured. Such a loss naturally needs actual gains to make up for it. Therefore, a dead Ajige is much more useful to your brother than a living Ajige..."

Looking at Ajige's fierce look, Jiang Han smiled and said, "It seems that you don't really believe what I said. It doesn't matter. Let's make a bet on your brotherly feelings. This time your brother designed to provoke me and make me order you to be killed, but he failed. I just cut off your finger, which undoubtedly ruined his plan."

"So, if he wants to kill you, he will definitely use a second trick. Can you guess what it is? Will he send an assassin to kill you? Or will he poison the food you bring with you so that you can't reach your camp alive?"

"You only have one life, Lord Beile, don't let others plot against you..."

The severe pain in his abdomen became more and more obvious, as if something was pulsating in his abdomen. He couldn't help but cover his abdomen and lie down in the car in pain.

"Hurry, the carriage is coming, hurry, follow me to welcome my twelfth brother..."

The Qing army was eagerly waiting, and hurried forward as Huang Taiji called, only to see several people helping Ajige out of the car. Just as they were about to kneel down to thank him for his grace, Huang Taiji saw that Ajige's face was as pale as gold paper!

"Twelfth brother... this is"

"Aaaaaaaaaa!!!"

bump! !

After a life-long cry of pain, Ajige's abdomen suddenly exploded with a dull explosion, and his internal organs and blood spurted out, even soaking the hem of Huang Taiji!

At this time, Ajige was still alive. With his bloodshot eyes, he looked at his father and brother who were looking at him in panic: "Huang Taiji... you are so vicious...!!"

His consciousness quickly faded, and Ajige reached the end of his life.

The small bomb has a small equivalent and can't even blow apart a person's arm, but it is more than enough to blow open the abdomen.

After talking with Ajige, Jiang Han asked the humanoids to perform a minimally invasive surgery on Ajige, burying a small bomb in his body and setting a timer for detonation. The detonation time was calculated by the humanoids after many calculations, and the error would not be too large.

As for why Ajige's abdomen was gradually hurting, it was a natural reaction after the anesthetic wore off. Anyone would feel pain when something was buried in the stomach, but after Jiang Han's psychological suggestion, he thought it was the effect of poison. These days, he actually didn't dare to drink the food and water sent by the ambassador, but the pain in his abdomen kept telling him that he had been poisoned.

This was not a very clever plot to sow discord, but it was just enough to deal with a man like Ajige who was not very smart. Now all he needed to do was to leave some clues on his carriage, or even tell him in person that the person who killed him was Huang Taiji. Even if it succeeded, although it would not cause any actual harm, it would definitely be enough to give Huang Taiji a headache for quite some time. Why not create some trouble for Huang Taiji?

There were many people at the scene and they were all gossiping. Even if these people were really silenced by Huang Taiji, Jiang Han had a way to make everyone in the Qing army know about it.

Huang Taiji stood there, unable to believe what he saw. Why did his brother die in front of him? Why did he point fingers at him? What did Jiang Han do to him?

“Jiang Han…Jiang Han!! Jiang Han!!!!!! Ah!!!!”

Huang Taiji roared loudly towards the sky, and suddenly, he felt a black screen in front of his eyes and lost consciousness.

"Your Majesty!!! Your Majesty!!! Quick! Call the imperial physician!!! Quick!!!"

Volume 329: Chapter Chapter : Development

Huang Taiji opened his eyes weakly and felt as if his throat was about to smoke. He used his throat, which had been rinsed with soot water from the bottom of a pot as if it had been brushed with a steel wool, to make the first sound after he woke up.
