My father is a Confucian sage, but the system forces me to be a crude warrior

Chapter 58 Intercepting King Jiang
After his father left, Zeng Anmin took a deep breath and focused his eyes on the entrance to the secret passage in front of him.

Without hesitation, he followed the red-clothed men led by Lin Rong and walked deeper into the secret passage.

But this secret passage is too narrow and it is impossible to increase the speed.

After walking for a while, Zeng Anmin began to feel restless.

It seems that the direction of the secret passage is towards the outside of the city.

The distance between Prince Jiang's Mansion and the outside of the city is not far. At this speed, if the secret passage is dug in a straight line.

At this time, Prince Jiang was definitely not far from walking out of the secret passage.

"Where is the exit of the secret passage?"

There was a gleam in Zeng Anmin's eyes.

At this time, the city is full of Dad's men.

The reason why Prince Jiang dug this secret passage was probably to prevent himself from being caught.

If he wasn't stupid, he would never set this exit inside. Setting it inside the city would be no different from walking into a trap.

There is a high probability of that being outside the city.

But if it's outside the city...

Follow this direction.

This is the direction to the pier.

The dock has a lot of pedestrian traffic, and if the exit of this secret passage is located there, it will definitely be discovered and cannot be concealed.

Where could that be?
Zeng Anmin took a deep breath, closed his eyes and thought silently.

Outside the city...Liangjiang County...

River?!!
He opened his eyes sharply.

In order to conceal their presence, the exit was directed diagonally downwards into the river, which was definitely the most secretive approach!!

Thinking of this, he suddenly shuddered all over.

A picture instantly appeared in my mind.

In the water, on the rocks, at the entrance of the cave...

When he was assassinated that day, he killed the assassin from Prince Jiang's mansion underwater.

The hole I encountered!!

At that time, he deliberately reached out to explore, and found that the entrance to the cave was very shallow, so he didn't take it seriously.

but……

What if the hole is facing upwards? !

Zeng Anmin's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Thinking of this, he suddenly became bright-eyed!

go back!

Walk on land!!

Out of the city and into the water!

Block King Jiang!

Without any hesitation, Zeng Anmin immediately turned around and walked out.

……

"Master, where are you going?!"

Dachun was standing guard at the door. When he saw Zeng Anmin walking out of the house, he asked with a confused look on his face.

"You continue to guard! The young master has to go to the Jiaofang Bureau to listen to music, so it's not convenient to take you with him!"

Zeng Anmin didn't even turn his head, he found a horse, got on it, and soon he was galloping away.

"drive!!!"

"what?"

Dachun blinked, somewhat confused.

……

On the main road in the city, Zeng Anmin galloped on his horse.

quick! !

Faster!!
Zeng Anmin was extremely anxious at this moment.

No one knows when Prince Jiang started plotting.

If Prince Jiang escapes, he can lead a large army to attack the city, but it will be difficult with only a few thousand guards in the city.

"drive!!!"

Zeng Anmin's voice was filled with urgency. At this moment, the city gate was already faintly visible. He immediately shouted:
"Zeng Anmin, the left clerk of the Xuanjing Division, has been ordered to hunt down the rebels. Open the city gates quickly!!"

His voice was so loud that the sentries guarding the city could naturally hear it clearly.

However, although they had heard of Zeng Anmin's name, they had never seen him.

So the city gate was not opened.

"Hey!!"

Zeng Anmin quickly reined in his horse and looked at the soldier who was checking him with a very cold face.

Fortunately, I had the badge of Xuan Jingsi in my arms.

"Give!"

He threw it casually and the soldier caught it.

After carefully checking it, he returned it to him respectfully:

"My lord, please."

As he spoke, the city gate opened.

Zeng Anmin took the badge, sped up instantly, and headed towards the city gate.

The whip he swung almost left an afterimage.

"Da da da."

The sound of horse hooves became more and more rapid.

Finally, a long river with turbulent waves slowly appeared in front of Zeng Anmin.

Zeng Anmin had a blank expression on his face as he walked past a big tree and tied his horse to it.

When he appeared from behind the big tree again, he was wearing a black cat-shaped mask on his head.

Without any hesitation, he jumped into the river.

“Puff!!” The river water in winter is bone-chillingly cold.

But after a stream of energy from the martial elixir in his body circulated throughout his body, this feeling instantly disappeared.

"That direction!"

Zeng Anmin's mind emerged the direction he left after killing the assassin that day, and he spread his arms and swam forward with all his strength.

"Whoo~"

The martial arts energy in his body began to flow slowly as he swam, continuously increasing the time he could hold his breath.

Half a quarter of an hour passed in a flash.

Zeng Anmin stopped, narrowed his eyes and stared straight ahead.

“That’s it!!”

Directly in front of him, there was a huge rock blocking his way.

The huge rock was like a peak, growing out from the bottom of the water.

There are several huge scales on this boulder.

It was exactly the same scene as that day.

Without hesitation, Zeng Anmin swam forward.

A hole appeared in front of him.

He floated in the water and slowly reached his hand into the cave.

After touching the bottom of the hole, flip your wrist upwards.

The sense of touch disappeared and his hand touched nothing!
It really leads to the top!!
Zeng Anmin's eyes suddenly lit up.

suddenly.

His ears twitched slightly.

"somebody is coming!!"

Zeng Anmin said nothing and tightened his right hand slightly, and a short axe appeared in his hand.

He held his breath and concentrated, tightly clenching the short axe in his hand.

"Gulu~"

There are waves in the water.

Zeng Anmin didn't hesitate at all. His phoenix eyes widened suddenly, the martial arts energy in his body suddenly accelerated, and a flash of axe light flashed forward.

"Pfft~"

A snow-white fish was chopped to pieces in an instant.

……

Grass!
Zeng Anmin cursed inwardly, feeling a little paranoid.

However, before any further movement could be made, a sound of water waves was heard.

"Wow~"

A head popped out of the hole, followed by shoulders, and then the whole body.

Since Zeng Anmin was on the side of the boulder at that time, he did not notice the man immediately after he appeared.

This also gave Zeng Anmin the opportunity to see his face clearly.

This man has a strong build.

He looked to be about thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old.

The neck and wrists reveal a bronze complexion.

The most striking thing is his clear and deep facial features and dark icy eyes.

But he looked a little disheveled this time. Although his clothes were made of expensive materials, they looked extremely dirty.

King Jiang!

Zeng Anmin could tell at a glance that the man in front of him was undoubtedly Prince Jiang!
His heart was beating faster.

Prince Jiang did not notice him.

There is hope of a successful sneak attack!
Zeng Anmin felt ruthless and narrowed his eyes.

He raised the short axe in his hand again, and the cold light reflected on his face added a bit of murderous air.

But as soon as he raised the hatchet, his face showed surprise.

As a result, he even forgot to launch a sneak attack.

Because the scene in front of him was too weird.

After King Jiang entered the water from the secret passage, he did not even look around.

Just a flash of blood.

Extremely strange changes occurred in the body.

His shoulders gradually shrank, and his two thighs came together to form a fish tail.

The arms shrank and scales slowly grew.

"Chirp!!"

The fish tail under King Jiang's feet swung gently, and his body leaped forward at an extremely fast speed.
King Jiang is a monster? ! !
A fish monster?!

Zeng Anmin's heart was subconsciously filled with turbulent waves! !

He knew that if the King of Jiang discovered him in the water, he would most likely not be able to catch up with him.

He quickly put away the hatchet and tried hard to hide his breath.

Fortunately, Prince Jiang was in a hurry to get on with his journey and had no intention of looking back.

Although Prince Jiang was fast, Zeng Anmin had excellent eyesight.

With the support of [High-end Military Force], he can exert the strength of the visualization realm.

So I can barely keep up.

Finally, King Jiang slowed down.

The body also began to change.

Restored from the weird half-fish state to human form.

Afterwards, Jiang Wang swam upwards and then jumped out of the water.

……

Chase him! Don’t let him get away!

Zeng Anmin slowly emerged from the water. In the faint moonlight, he could feel that he was quite far away from Liangjiang County and was in the villages surrounding the county.
