Chapter 655 This Jiang Youzhen will cause trouble
Everyone looked at Jiang Youzhen in shock, even Zhu Zhimin was shocked.
Mu Yuan was so moved that his eyes filled with tears, while the emperor's uncle behind him looked at Jiang Youzhen in disbelief.
"I am more valuable as your hostage than him." Jiang Youzhen said to Huang Shu without explaining.
How could Huang Shu not agree? He would love to. But he felt that it was impossible for a person to be so stupid. Could it be that Jiang Youzhen had some other purpose?
"Sir..." Mu Yuan finally spoke at this time, his voice choked, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
He didn't expect Jiang Youzhen to be so kind to him, and to be willing to sacrifice his life to protect him? He was so moved that he didn't know what to say.
"Jiang Youzhen, you're crazy." Zhu Zhimin couldn't understand why someone would fall into the trap? Those people wanted to plot against Jiang Youzhen, so they caused so much trouble.
"Their target is me. Mu Yuan is innocent after all. I cannot bear it."
Jiang Youzhen shook his head and looked at Huang Shu.
"You will let me go, right?" Jiang Youzhen said.
Huang Shu nodded hurriedly, "Of course, I will let you go once you leave the city gate."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Youzhen raised his hands and walked towards Huang Shu without hesitation.
"Jiang Youzhen, come back!" Zhu Zhimin couldn't understand why Jiang Youzhen, who was so smart on weekdays, was so stupid now. He even suspected that someone else was wearing Jiang Youzhen's mask. It was ridiculous.
Jiang Youzhen turned a deaf ear to him. Just as he approached Huang Shu, Huang Shu pushed Mu Yuan away and put the dagger on Jiang Youzhen's neck.
"Why don't you prepare a horse for me? I want to leave the city."
At this time, more and more people came to watch the excitement in the Hanlin Academy. Zhu Zhimin hurriedly sent guards to separate the crowd. He stomped his feet in anger, what an idiot!
If he was just an attendant, he would be dead if he died, but Jiang Youzhen was an official appointed by the court. The emperor and the princes valued him very much. If something happened to him, how would he explain it?
At this time, Wen Ruyu and Tong Huaian also heard the noise and rushed over. They pushed through the crowd and saw through the gap that Jiang Youzhen was actually being held hostage by a clerk. They were immediately furious.
"Jiang Youzhen." Tong Huaian was shocked.
"Master Tong, please save Jiang Youzhen quickly." Wen Ruyu was also very anxious, but he couldn't carry anything on his shoulders or lift anything with his hands, so he could only ask Tong Huaian for help.
Tong Huaian ignored the guards' obstruction and quickly walked towards Jiang Youzhen. When he got closer, he suddenly stopped because he saw Jiang Youzhen winking at him.
His originally confused heart calmed down a little, because he knew that Jiang Youzhen would not put him in danger.
Since Jiang Youzhen winked at him, he must have some plan. Jiang Youzhen was not in danger at the moment, so he decided to wait and see.
The two have known each other for a long time and have formed a tacit understanding.
But Wen Ruyu didn't know any of this, he only saw the man holding the dagger across Jiang Youzhen's neck. Seeing the sharp blade about to cut Jiang Youzhen's delicate skin, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
He also rushed forward and was about to speak when Tong Huaian stopped him, "Don't be impulsive. If you anger Huang Shu, he will definitely hurt Jiang Youzhen. Let's wait and see what happens."
Soon the horses were brought over. Huang Shu kidnapped Jiang Youzhen and climbed onto the horse. He held Jiang Youzhen to his chest, with the dagger still around her neck.
"You come and ride on horseback, up to the west gate."
Jiang Youzhen hesitated for a moment, wondering, is he really going to run?
"You're not going to tell me you can't ride a horse? A gentleman has six arts. You say you can't ride, but I don't believe it." Huang Shu's angry voice sounded from behind.
Jiang Youzhen pulled the reins without saying a word, and the horse immediately ran forward.
The horses were running very fast. When they passed the market town, Jiang Youzhen galloped while shouting at them to be careful and avoid the horses.
Huang Shu was just a weak scholar. He was shaken dizzy by the galloping horse and almost fell off the horse.
They soon arrived at the west gate. Jiang Youzhen didn't give the guards any time to react and rode out of the gate directly.
Huang Shu behind him was stunned for a moment. Why did he feel that Jiang Youzhen was more anxious and panicked than him?
Tong Huaian, who stayed in the Hanlin Academy, saw Jiang Youzhen and the others leave the palace, and shouted to Zhu Zhimin who was standing beside him, "Master Zhu, why don't you send someone to follow them. And since such a big thing has happened, we have to report it to the emperor immediately."
Zhu Zhimin snorted coldly, "This Jiang Youzhen will do bad things."
Tong Huaian had a cold face and ran quickly towards the outside of the Hanlin Academy. Seeing this, Wen Ruyu immediately followed him.
Tong Huaian ordered without even turning his head, "Go and find a way to report to the emperor. You don't need to follow me."
Wen Ruyu has no martial arts skills, so he would be a hindrance if he went with them. Jiang Youzhen would also have to consider his safety.
Wen Ruyu turned around immediately. He had forgotten that he should report to the scholar Qian Songyun and ask him to hand over the name card to see the emperor.
Jiang Youzhen, who had already left the city gate, kept galloping away without paying attention to the pursuers behind her. She ran for who knows how long, but even Huang Shu couldn't stand it anymore and ordered her to stop.
"Whoa~" Jiang Youzhen pulled the reins lightly to slow down the horse.
Huang Shu's face was pale. He was about to threaten Jiang Youzhen to turn the dock towards the direction of the East City Gate, but he was suddenly thrown down by a huge force. He had no time to react and fell off the horse, landing flat on his face.
"Puh, puh!" Huang Shu spat twice and suddenly felt panicked.
He was about to stand up and grab Jiang Youzhen again. Unexpectedly, a foot stepped on his back the next moment. He fell to the ground, unable to move for a moment.
Jiang Youzhen stepped on the back of Huang Shu's hand with his other foot. Huang Shu felt pain and let go of the dagger in his hand.
Huang Shu panicked as he felt a sharp pain in his neck. He was still in shock. What was going on? How could Jiang Youzhen be so strong? He had no power to resist.
"Take me to see the person behind you." Jiang Youzhen said coldly.
Huang Shu was shocked, then his eyes turned and he came up with a plan.
"I can't contact him. He always contacts me."
"Don't think you captured me just to exchange for a hostage. You just want to capture me and take me to meet the person behind the scenes to win credit. Now I'm giving you this chance. This is your only way to get out of this."
Jiang Youzhen sneered, then exerted force with his hand, and blood quickly flowed down the sharp blade.
"You are now a useless pawn anyway, so why bother working for them? Bring me to them and you will have a chance to escape."
"Don't do anything. I'll take you to see him. Although I don't know who he is, I have a way to contact him." Huang Shu felt the pain in his neck and said quickly.
"Let's go! Don't try any tricks." Jiang Youzhen said as he tied Huang Shu's hands behind his back with a cloth strip, then picked up Huang Shu and threw him on the horse's back.
Huang Shu didn't expect Jiang Youzhen to be so strong. He finally realized that Jiang Youzhen was not a weak scholar at all, but a skilled martial artist.
