The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Chapter 24 Men in Black

Jiang Li was a little worried about the safety of his grandmother and mother at this time. Although most of the female relatives of Jiang Xie and Jiang practiced martial arts, his grandmother was old after all, and the two families were particularly caring towards their female relatives, so their martial arts were not very advanced.

Anyone who can break into the forbidden area of ​​Huangjue Temple must be an extraordinary person! You know, Huangjue Temple is a royal temple, and its security measures are as strict as a copper wall. Not only are there highly skilled monks patrolling and guarding day and night, but there are also many traps and traps. It can be said to be impregnable and heavily guarded. However, such a seemingly impeccable place was actually broken into!

So, who is this daring person? What kind of ability and courage does he have to dare to enter this place without permission? Is he a special person with special skills, or a scheming conspirator? Or... is he actually sent here by someone, and there are bigger secrets and conspiracies behind him?

All kinds of speculations came to mind, making people curious about this mysterious visitor.

Jiang Li jumped up from the bed quickly, picked up the thick cloak that Chuntao had placed beside the bed like a flash of lightning, and wrapped it tightly around her. Her heart was beating like a drum, and she was so nervous that she could almost hear her own breathing. Then, she tiptoed to the closet, gently pushed open the door, slipped in, and carefully closed the door.

In this small and confined space, Jiang Li silently prayed not to be discovered. She thought to herself: "Less trouble is worse than more trouble. It is not wise to conflict with those who may come. Enraging them will only make things worse. It is better to be patient for the time being and wait for the right time to make plans." Thinking of this, she took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and listened quietly to the movement outside.

The person outside the door flashed into the room like a ghost, his movements were swift and light, as if he merged into the darkness. He approached the bed quietly and silently, and cast a glance at the bed in the weak candlelight.

As far as the eye can see, the quilt is bulging high, which makes people curious. The intruder frowned slightly and then scanned the whole room. There was a faint fragrance in the room, obviously this is a woman's boudoir.

The man in black covered his injured chest with his left hand, and supported himself weakly on the chair beside him with his right hand. His body was trembling slightly, and he gasped in pain from time to time. His face was as pale as paper, and beads of sweat hung on his forehead, as if he might fall down at any time.

At this moment, Jiang Li, who was hiding in the closet, was extremely nervous. She stared with her eyes wide open, not even daring to breathe. As time passed, she felt her heartbeat getting faster and faster, and her breathing became heavier. She tried her best to tell herself to stay calm, but her fingers involuntarily grasped the wooden board of the closet tightly, and her palms were already soaked with sweat.

Suddenly, the man in black seemed to notice something unusual. He turned his head sharply and looked directly in the direction of the closet. Then, he slowly stood up and approached the closet step by step with staggering steps...

Just as the man in black stretched out his finger to touch the handle of the closet, a crisp and rapid knock on the door suddenly came, like a thunderbolt breaking the silent night sky. This sudden sound shocked the man in black, and his already tense nerves instantly became even more tense. He quickly withdrew his hand, his body trembled slightly, and a trace of astonishment and uneasiness flashed in his eyes.

"Miss Jiang! There are assassins in the temple. Are you okay?" Changfeng's anxious and concerned voice came from outside.

The man in black looked around cautiously, and his eyes fell on the closed closet door. With years of experience and keen intuition, he realized that there was probably someone hiding inside - perhaps the occupant of this wing. Time was running out, and there was no room for hesitation! The man in black made a quick decision and dodged under the bed.

At this moment, his heart was beating like thunder, and he was so nervous that he could almost hear his own breathing. However, as a well-trained man, he still tried to remain calm and kept his body close to the ground without making any sound.

There were gusts of wind coming from outside the door, accompanied by the sound of the wind knocking on the door. Jiang Li's heartbeat became faster and faster while hiding in the closet. She thought to herself: If I go out now, will I run into the assassin? However, the faint sound just now made Jiang Li firmly believe that the mysterious person might also be hiding in the house.

Looking around, there were only two places to hide in the room - the closet and under the bed. Jiang Li bit her lips tightly and thought to herself: "How should I choose?" Time passed by, and the tense atmosphere made it difficult for her to breathe.

Finally, after a lot of inner struggle, Jiang Li decided to take the risk. She took a deep breath, gently pushed open the closet door, and tiptoed towards the door.

Just as Changfeng raised his hand and was about to knock on the tightly closed door in front of him again, he heard a slight "creak" sound, and the door was suddenly opened from the inside.

Changfeng looked at Jiang Li wearing a cloak with a veiled hood, and he quickly lowered his head. This was the person he loved most. He and the guards behind him took a few steps back.

"Miss Jiang, my name is Changfeng, and I'm a guard in the Regent's Palace. Tonight, there were assassins in this temple! May I ask if Miss Jiang is okay? Are you frightened?" Changfeng asked with concern.

Jiang Li was slightly surprised to hear this, but remained calm on the surface and responded softly: "It turns out that you are the guard of the Regent's Palace. Thank you for your concern. I am fine and nothing serious is wrong. I just don't know what happened in this temple? Why did an assassin appear?" There was a hint of confusion and worry in her eyes.

"This?" Changfeng was a little conflicted. This matter was of great importance and he didn't dare to say more.
