The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Chapter 197 Discussion in the Study Room

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. Then, a guard hurried in, knelt on one knee and reported: "Your Majesty, An Shi has something important to report!"

Mu Jiuchen frowned slightly and waved his hand to signal the guard to come in. The guard walked to the desk and handed a note to Mu Jiuchen. Mu Jiuchen unfolded the note and his face instantly became solemn.

"Your Highness, what happened?" Jiang Ying couldn't help but ask when he saw this.

Mu Jiuchen took a deep breath and said slowly: "I just received news that someone just tried to break into your sister's yard."

Hearing the news, Jiang Ying's face turned pale instantly, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. He clenched his fists tightly, and secretly vowed in his heart that he must protect his sister's safety.

Mu Jiuchen patted Jiang Ying on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, I have sent someone to secretly protect Li'er."

Jiang Ying nodded gratefully, full of admiration for Mu Jiuchen. At this critical moment, Mu Jiuchen showed his responsibility and wisdom as the regent, which made Jiang Ying feel at ease.

Jiang Ying was immediately comforted and secretly thanked himself: With the help of the prince, his sister's safety should be safe. However, suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but frown. That's not right, why would the prince arrange for people to sneak into the Jiang Mansion in advance to protect his sister? And it seems that these people were not arranged to come in recently, it seems that they have been lurking there a long time ago. Why is this? Could it be...

"No! Prince, why did you arrange for someone to enter my house so early to protect my sister?" Although Jiang Ying was a military commander, he was definitely not a reckless person. He keenly sensed the strangeness of the matter and locked his eyes on the prince, trying to find the answer from his expression and answer.

Mu Jiuchen looked up at Jiang Ying, his heart slightly weakened, but he didn't show it on his face. He picked up a memorial, pretended to read it attentively, and said softly: "I have arranged people in various mansions in the capital, not just your Jiang family." This sentence made Jiang Ying's eyes widen, his face full of shock. The prince actually told him such a confidential matter! In fact, Mu Jiuchen did plant spies in various mansions in the capital, but it was the first time that he deployed secret guards on such a large scale in the Jiang family.

"When the Fourth Prince of the Jin Kingdom came to the capital last time, I don't know which minister's house he planted a spy in. Afterwards, after discussing with the Emperor, I decided to arrange personnel to conduct investigations in each mansion." What Mu Jiuchen said was true.

After listening to this, Jiang Ying nodded vigorously. In his heart, Mu Jiuchen was like a god, and he was full of respect and admiration for the prince. Since he was a child, he was determined to become a brave and fearless person like the prince, so he practiced martial arts day and night, hoping to fight side by side with the prince one day. When the prince decided to take him to the northern border, he felt extremely excited and proud, and even thought it was a special care from God for him.

What would he do if one day he found out that this seemingly gentle man in front of him was targeting his sister?

The celebration banquet will be held in five days, and the Jin Kingdom envoys will also participate. Mu Jiuchen said to Jiang Ying solemnly: "Remember to pay attention to your sister's safety." His eyes revealed a trace of worry and concern.

Jiang Ying nodded slightly to show that he understood. He knew how important his sister was, so he would naturally be extra careful to protect her safety. "I will, thank you for your reminder." He responded with a firm and confident look in his eyes.

Mu Jiuchen nodded and looked at Jiang Ying with satisfaction. He knew that Jiang Ying was a reliable person and would do his best to protect his family. At the same time, he also hoped that the celebration banquet would go smoothly without any accidents.

After Jiang Ying and Mu Jiuchen finished talking about the matter, they stood up and said goodbye. When he returned home, he found that the whole family was waiting for him to have dinner together. However, at this moment, he suddenly recalled what the secret guard had just reported, and a feeling of worry surged in his heart. He looked up at his sister, secretly wondering whether to tell his family about this. In the end, he decided not to say it, so as not to worry everyone. So he glanced out the door again, wondering how many people the prince had arranged to protect them. Jiang Xing noticed the change in his expression, and guessed in his heart that something might have happened, but he also chose to remain silent and did not ask.

After dinner, everyone prepared to return to their own courtyards to rest. However, when they walked to the main courtyard gate, Jiang Ying suddenly found his eldest brother and third brother standing there, seemingly waiting for something.

"Eldest brother, third brother?" Jiang Ying asked puzzledly.

At this time, Jiang Xing continued to say: "Follow me." His voice was still cold, without any ripples. Hearing this, Jiang Ying and Jiang Bu couldn't help but tremble in their hearts, as if they were shrouded by an invisible pressure. The two looked at each other, and they could see a trace of fear and awe in each other's eyes. It seems that the eldest brother is still the one who makes people fear!

Master Jiang stood in the corridor with his hands behind his back, watching his three sons leave together. The moonlight fell on them, reflecting three young and energetic figures. Master Jiang couldn't help but sigh that time flies. He has grown old, and the children are gradually growing up.

He gently stroked his beard, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, his eyes flashing with relief and emotion. He was a little surprised that these brats could discuss important matters without telling him. But at the same time, he also understood that the children had grown up and had their own ideas and opinions.

Master Jiang decided not to interfere in their affairs, but to let them experience and grow. He believed that the children would make the right decisions and walk their own paths. After all, the path of life requires them to explore and understand it themselves.

"Forget it, let them be!" Tutor Jiang whispered to himself.

"What's wrong?" Xie Lan's voice came from behind, and a cloak from Master Jiang was draped over him.

"It's cold at night, and you don't even feel sorry for yourself." Xie Lan grumbled as he adjusted his cloak.

Master Jiang smiled, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes: "Lan'er, I know you care about me, but I'm really fine."

Xie Lan frowned, with a slightly dissatisfied tone: "You are always like this, ignoring your own body."

Master Jiang patted her hand gently and comforted her: "Don't worry, I'm still young!"

“That can’t be taken lightly.” Xie Lan muttered and continued to help him adjust his cloak.

"It's nothing! I'm still holding on! Let's go back and rest!" Master Jiang took Xie Lan's arm and walked inside.

Their figures gradually disappeared into the night, leaving behind a peaceful silence.
