Chapter 48 Princess Jiang
Meijiang Wharf.
Normally, besides the main urban area, the Meijiang Wharf area is the most bustling place.
Many boats come and go every day, and the local people either make a living by helping to unload goods from the boats or by fishing in the river.
There are also various vendors selling daily necessities around the area.
If the main urban area is magnificent and extravagant, then the Meijiang Wharf area is a place for the daily lives of ordinary people.
The Meijiang River is the source of livelihood for many ordinary people.
However, the Meijiang Wharf area hasn't been as lively lately!
Ships no longer stop here, and ordinary people dare not approach, because this place has been occupied by the Divine Talisman Society.
The Divine Symbol Society occupies this waterway, preventing any outsiders from approaching.
Yang Changhui wanted to reclaim this area, but he didn't have the absolute strength to drive away the Divine Talisman Society, so he could only let things remain as they were for the time being.
At this moment, at the Meijiang Wharf, members of the Divine Talisman Society, including the Spirit Talisman Official, the Red Talisman Woman, and the Imperial Talisman Envoy, gathered according to their status, standing upright on the wharf, their eyes looking upstream on the Meijiang River.
Everyone waited for a long time, but no one showed any impatience. Instead, they waited respectfully.
It wasn't until a huge black shadow appeared in the Meijiang River that the expressions on everyone's faces changed.
"That looks like General Tuo under King Jiang's command. Could it be that King Jiang himself has come?"
"Probably not. The battle in Yuning County is at a critical stage, and King Jiang shouldn't have time to come over."
"I wonder which esteemed person has come in person?"
When they saw the huge black shadow appear in the river, the two people waiting at the front of the dock started talking, their eyes fixed on the black shadow in the Meijiang River.
As the enormous black shadow approached, resembling a large ship, it was entirely black and covered in hard scales. Upon closer inspection, one would discover that the so-called "bow" was actually a huge head, half-floating on the water's surface, with a pair of vertical pupils that were yellow on the outside and black on the inside, and its eyes were completely indifferent.
The dark figure was still far away, but everyone on the dock could feel immense pressure.
Of everyone, only Weng Jingyuan, the Spirit Talisman Official, was relatively normal; everyone else was affected, including the Red Talisman Woman, Yu Yi.
As the shadowy figure approached the dock, the crowd was able to get a clearer picture of it.
It is a huge earth dragon, also known as the pig dragon, but its size far exceeds that of ordinary earth dragons.
There are three more people on Pig Dragon.
One woman and two men.
Of the three, the woman in palace attire stood in the middle, towards the front, while the two men stood behind.
"The Empress Dowager is already aware of what happened in Yongkang County. You have greatly disappointed her and have even implicated King Jiang, the Master of Ceremonies, in being punished."
"King Jiang is very angry and wants to use your flesh and blood as a sacrifice to appease the Mother of Talismans."
Just as Zhu Polong was about to reach the shore, the woman in palace attire on Zhu Polong lightly leaped and gracefully landed in front of Hong Fu Nu, Weng Jingyuan, and the others.
His first words were those of a superior, a reprimand, and his gaze toward the two men was filled with hostility.
Two other men followed behind, one on each side, their imposing presence overwhelming the crowd.
This put immense pressure on everyone waiting at the dock for the Divine Symbol Society.
"This matter was our fault. We beg Princess Jiang to spare our lives and give us a chance to make amends."
"Your subordinate is willing to lead the charge, even at the cost of fire and water, just to help King Jiang, the Commander of the Imperial Seals."
Upon hearing this, Weng Jingyuan immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
He had anticipated this situation because he had previously prevented Hongfu Nu Yu Yi from reporting.
As the leader of this city capture operation, he may lose his life if he fails to complete the mission on time.
He originally wanted to make amends for his mistakes, but since Hongfu Nu Yu Yi was determined to report it, he had no choice but to agree.
At this moment, he immediately knelt down before Princess Jiang to admit his mistake and express his attitude.
Princess Jiang is the first wife of King Jiang, a master of martial arts. She is highly valued by King Jiang and holds real power. The two guards who accompany her are also masters of martial arts.
Therefore, although it seemed that not many people had come, the three of them and the pig dragon were far more powerful than the members of the Divine Talisman Society here.
Upon witnessing this scene, Weng Jingyuan knew that Yongkang County would surely be captured.
The martial arts master who was in charge of the Yang family was extremely powerful, but even he couldn't stop so many people.
"Very good, you didn't shirk responsibility, you're at least sensible."
"Considering your previous dedication to serving King Jiang, I will give you a chance to make amends."
"When the battle begins, you will be the vanguard."
Princess Jiang nodded slightly in her heart, but her expression remained cold.
Weng Jingyuan was sensible and quickly expressed his opinion, so Princess Jiang spared his life.
Besides, Princess Jiang was well aware that a tough battle was about to begin, requiring the intervention of martial arts masters.
The numerous mistakes and omissions made by Weng Jingyuan and others have led to a rather complicated situation in Yongkang County.
The original plan within the Divine Talisman Society to seize Yongkang County was partly to connect the upper reaches of the Meijiang River and partly to draw some of the firepower away from Yuning County, thus reducing the pressure on Yuning County.
In Yuning County, the flesh and blood sacrifice array was almost ready, but it had not been successful due to the attack from the provincial army. More and more experts in the Divine Talisman Society were killed or injured, and the pressure was increasing.
The fact that Yongkang County has not yet been able to capture the city has greatly dissatisfied the higher-ups of the Divine Talisman Society, and has shaken their determination to continue setting up the flesh and blood sacrifice array.
Since King Jiang was too busy to come over, he specially arranged for Queen Jiang to handle the matter.
But on the way here, more bad news came.
Princess Jiang already knew that Wen Han, the Dao Yin of Diannan Road, had led troops to provide support, intending to first deal with the Shenfu Society members in Yongkang County, and then provide support to Yuning County.
The warlords in the province were adamant about completely eliminating the Divine Talisman Society.
"Your subordinate obeys."
Upon hearing this, Weng Jingyuan quickly replied.
He knew his life was saved!
As long as he works hard with Princess Jiang, the failure of this city-seizing mission can be considered a thing of the past!
Even if there is a possibility of punishment, as long as the person is alive, everything is negotiable.
"I accept the punishment."
Yu Yi, the Red Talisman Girl, also acted very decisively.
The fact that Princess Jiang came in person means that she will be in charge of the affairs here. At this point, she can only state that she will no longer compete for the right to take charge.
Within the Divine Talisman Society, Princess Jiang does not hold any official position, but because of the Talisman King Jiang, no one dares to underestimate her.
Even if the Holy Maiden were here, she would give Princess Jiang some face, let alone the Red Talisman Maiden Yu Yi!
"While you bear some responsibility for the failed capture of the city, your fault is less severe."
"For the sake of Saintess Cheng, you will cooperate with our actions from now on. If you do not make any mistakes, you will be exempt from punishment."
Princess Jiang looked at the red-talisman-wearing maid Yu Yi with a calm expression.
There was no requirement to force Hongfu Nu Yu Yi to take the lead like Weng Jingyuan.
This is not only because of the Holy Maiden behind the Red Talisman Girl Yu Yi, but also because the Red Talisman Girl Yu Yi is not very strong.
