Nine-layer armor-breaking

Chapter 211 Regret
Seeing the expressions of the two guards, Jiang Xuan also reacted and found that he seemed to be speaking as casually as before in Jiang Mansion.

But at this moment, he realized that he was not Jiang Xuan, the eldest son of the Jiang family, but Ling Honghe, the personal guard of City Lord Li, who came from Fuzhou.

Jiang Xuan secretly complained to himself in his heart, then spoke to the two familiar faces.

"Please don't misunderstand me, both of you."

"I'm Ling Honghe, the personal guard of our Yingzhou City Lord Li. Is the young master of your Jiang family called Jiang Xuan?"

After saying that, Jiang Xuan took off the jade token hanging around his waist that symbolized his identity as a personal guard and showed it to the two guards guarding the door of Jiang's mansion.

Afterwards, one of the guards confirmed the authenticity of the jade token in Jiang Xuan's hand.

"Lord Ling!"

The guard who recognized the city lord's personal guard token spoke first and greeted the young warrior in front of him.

Seeing his companion like this, the guard next to him also greeted him, "Lord Ling."

Seeing this, although Jiang Xuan made a reasonable explanation for his identity, he still felt a little uncomfortable with this kind of address, especially from someone he was familiar with.

Jiang Xuan nodded and said, "Just call him Ling's personal guard."

Before the two could react, Jiang Xuan went straight to the point.

"Is the young master of your Jiang family called Jiang Xuan?"

Hearing this, the two answered in unison: "Yes."

"That's right. I'm a recent personal guard in Yingzhou. On the way, I met your Jiang family's young master, Jiang Xuan. He had something for me to pass on to his sister, Jiang Xian. So, I'd like to ask if Miss Jiang Xian is in the mansion right now?"

After Jiang Xuan finished speaking, the two people opposite him were stunned, and then became excited again.

"Have you seen our young master?"

"How is he? Where is he? Is he hurt?"

Jiang Xuan was a little overwhelmed by the two guards' quick words.

"Yes, he did. He's fine. He just needs to stay outside for a while. He asked me to tell everyone not to worry."

Hearing this, the anxious expressions on the two guards' faces finally relaxed. Then, their faces were filled with joy.

"Oh, our Miss Jiaxian is not in the mansion." One of the guards came back to his senses from joy and hurriedly answered the question of the guard in front of him.

Jiang Xuan frowned slightly and asked, "Do you know where he went?"

"The young lady has not been in the mansion these days. As for where exactly she went, we don't know."

Hearing this, Jiang Xuan felt helpless.

Did these two guards still not believe in themselves?

Or do they want to protect Jiang Xian and are unwilling to disclose any information about Jiang Xian to outsiders?
Or, could it be that Jiang Xian really didn't return home and stayed outside for several days?

Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan couldn't calm down anymore and asked the two guards again.

"Then please help inform them that I would like to meet your patriarch."

"Master Ling... Guard Ling, our master is not in the house right now."

"What about the wife of the headmaster?" Jiang Xuan blurted out, but as soon as he said it, he felt something was wrong.

"Ahem!" Jiang Xuan coughed twice to hide his awkward mood.

Even though the guards felt that what Ling Qinwei said was inappropriate, when they thought about what Ling Qinwei said at the beginning, they began to understand Ling Qinwei.

They thought that perhaps this was just the character of Ling Qinwei.

Speaking quickly and without concealing anything may be the character of this personal guard of Ling.

"Or, the housekeeper is also fine," Jiang Xuan said. "They are not in the mansion." One of the guards replied immediately.

After that, another guard explained to Jiang Xuan, "The master, his wife, and his daughter are not in the mansion. Steward Li also went out a while ago and we don't know when he will be back."

Jiang Xuan was speechless at the guard's answer.

If what the guard said was true, then Jiang Xuan would be speechless towards these people.

"Did he go to look for your young master?" Jiang Xuan felt a little unsure, but still asked.

"No." One of the guards answered firmly.

The other guard noticed that his companion's answer was too straightforward and seemed to be inappropriate, so he added: "He went to find the lady."

"Jiang...your young lady is missing?" Jiang Xuan was about to blurt out Jiang Xian's name, but when he remembered that he was now Ling's personal guard, he immediately changed his words.

"Not really. The young lady went out with her guards. She said she would be back yesterday, but she never did. This morning, the master and his wife went out to look for her."

Hearing the guard's words, Jiang Xuan thought to himself, "Jiang Xian went on a long trip and didn't keep her promise to her family. She even brought guards with her. Could she be going to look for me? It seems she still thinks of me as her brother."

Jiang Xuan thought for a moment, "But it's no use looking for me! This is great! I won't get lost again! I should have taken her with me in the first place!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan felt a little regretful.

Although Jiang Xuan couldn't bear to let Jiang Xian go out with him to suffer, he didn't want to lose contact with her even more.

"Then where is your butler now?" Jiang Xuan asked.

"The master of the house is not here. Steward Li was called to a meeting by the Chamber of Commerce."

Jiang Xuan finally reacted after hearing what the guard said.

I think President Xu must have asked the Jiang family to discuss the next step of receiving guests from other states.

As a result, the Jiang family was left with no one to take charge, and Jiang Xuan was helpless about it.

Just when Jiang Xuan was struggling in his mind whether to go find Jiang Xian first or stay around the Jiang family and protect them secretly, he saw another familiar face riding a horse to report the news.

The guard on horseback dismounted and was about to say something, but when he saw the unfamiliar face at the door, he fell silent.

"Oh, this is the new personal guard of the city lord of Yingzhou, Lord Ling." The guard introduced the newcomer.

The man who had just arrived paused for a moment, then clasped his fists and said, "Lord Ling."

Jiang Xuan nodded. Obviously, Jiang Xuan knew the man who came on horseback.

This person is also one of his Jiang family guards.

"What happened?" Jiang Xuan asked the man.

The newly arrived guard hesitated at first, then weighed the matter in his mind and replied, "Master Ling, it's nothing important. The master simply asked me to come back to report safety and give the letter to the housekeeper."

Hearing this, Jiang Xuan was indeed relieved. After all, the three guards in front of him had been in the Jiang family for quite a few years and were reliable in their conduct. There shouldn't be any mistakes.

"Oh?" Although Jiang Xuan didn't ask, he was indeed interested in the content of the letter.

Hearing this, the guard took out a letter from his arms.

Jiang Xuan recognized the handwriting and sealing wax on the envelope at a glance. They were unique to his father Jiang Yuan.

At this moment, Jiang Xuan felt truly relieved.

"Nothing else, but the masters are going to travel outside for a few days, so I asked Steward Li to take care of the business."

Then, the guard added, "Of course, perhaps the masters are tired of playing and will be back today or tomorrow."
