The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Chapter 25 Identity of the Man in Black

Facing Jiang Li's question, Changfeng secretly complained in his heart. He knew very well that some things should not be known to this precious young lady, so as not to scare her. After all, she is the apple of his master's eye! After a little thought, Changfeng decided to be careful with his words, and replied with a bow: "Miss, this matter is of great importance, and it is really inconvenient for me to disclose it. If there is no other important matter, I will go to other places to continue the search." After speaking, Changfeng turned around and wanted to lead his men away.

"Wait, Guard Changfeng!" Jiang Li hurriedly called out to him. Changfeng's steps suddenly stopped, obviously a little surprised.

"What's the matter, Miss Jiang? Is there anything else you need my help with?" Changfeng turned around and asked respectfully.

Jiang Li hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "Well... I want to go see my grandmother and mother. After all, it's a bit unsafe tonight. Could you please ask Guard Changfeng to go with me? Also, please help call my maid to come along." After she finished speaking, a hint of anticipation flashed in her eyes.

Jiang Li remembered that even though the mysterious man had not rummaged through the closet, who could guarantee that he would not harm him later? Chang Feng nodded readily and agreed, "Since the young lady has this request, I will obey your order. I will send someone to summon your maid."

Jiang Li didn't even have time to change her clothes, and hurriedly turned around to close the door. At this moment, her eyes inadvertently swept across the bed, as if she remembered something important. So, she walked into the room again and picked up a set of spare clothes. After all, she was only wearing pajamas at this moment.

However, what was even more surprising was that Jiang Li did not put on the new clothes immediately, but walked straight to the table by the window. She picked up an exquisite purse and pushed open the window without hesitation. Changfeng witnessed all this, but he did not ask the reason.

At this moment, Chuntao and Xiahe came in a hurry, their faces full of worry. It turned out that the young lady had not arranged for them to keep watch tonight, and they did not expect such a thing to happen. The two of them and other maids lived in another room far away. At this moment, they were full of regret. Chuntao secretly made up her mind that she would never easily agree to the young lady's request next time.

"Miss, are you all right?" Xia He hurried forward and straightened the cloak and veil that Jiang Li was wearing. After all, the young lady was a lady from a famous family, how could she go out in such unkempt clothes?

"It's okay, don't worry. Let's go to grandma and mother first!" Jiang Li shook his head slightly, indicating that he was fine, and then followed the team of guards to the courtyard where grandma and mother were. I just hope that grandma and mother are not too frightened!

After Changfeng safely sent the master and servant to Old Madam Xie, he left quietly, but in fact, he had secretly deployed a group of men just in case. After all, they had only arranged guards outside before, which led to the man in black sneaking into Jiang Li's room, because the man in black was indeed an extraordinary martial artist.

At this moment, the man in black hiding under Jiang Li's bed heard the footsteps of Chang Feng and others going away, and quietly crawled out from under the bed. He gently patted off the dust on his body, looked around the room again, and finally his eyes fell on the open window. He thought: "This girl is quite smart and intelligent." Then, he moved to the window and saw the scriptures and writing brushes, inkstones, and inkstones neatly placed on the table, especially those scriptures that were neatly copied, with beautiful handwriting, which made people's eyes bright. So, he grabbed a stack of scriptures and put them in his arms, and jumped out of the window... out!

Changfeng hurried back to Mu Jiuchen's residence and reported to him in detail what he had observed. Mu Jiuchen listened attentively, frowning.

"Is what you said true? Jiang Li left the room without permission in his pajamas and went to Old Madam Xie's place?"

"Your Highness, it is absolutely true. Miss Jiang said she is concerned about the safety of Madam Xie." Changfeng answered respectfully.

Mu Jiuchen's face darkened: "This is ridiculous! Hurry to Jiang Li's boudoir. The assassin must be hiding in there."

Chang Feng looked puzzled when he heard this: "This... Your Majesty, did you notice something? But why didn't Miss Jiang mention this at the time?"

Chang Yun at the side could not help but interrupt and said, "If Miss Jiang had told the truth at that time, you and the brothers would have gone to investigate. Wouldn't that be exactly what the assassin wanted? With the assassin's high martial arts skills, I'm afraid you all would not be able to escape. Even if you and I joined forces, we are not sure we can escape unscathed."

Changfeng suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly, deeply impressed by Changyun's analysis. He then turned around and left, secretly glad that he had not acted rashly, and at the same time, he appreciated Jiang Li's wit.

"Your Highness, what is the purpose of the Fourth Prince of the Jin Kingdom coming here this time? Is it just to spy on the situation of our national treasury? Is the information conveyed by the informant reliable? Although the Jin Kingdom is in a bit of trouble right now, it does not seem to be in such a desperate situation! I always feel that this matter is quite strange." Changyun asked Mu Jiuchen with a serious expression, his words revealing his deep doubts.

Indeed, what the informant said was true, but was there something else going on? Mu Jiuchen couldn't help but wonder. You know, although the Jin Kingdom's treasury was tight, it was definitely not powerless to deal with the situation. How could they suddenly have the idea of ​​turning their attention to our country's treasure house?

It was really puzzling. If it was true as the informant reported, what kind of conspiracy and intention was hidden behind the Jin Kingdom's move? Could it be that someone deliberately provoked the incident in an attempt to create chaos? Or was there a major change in the Jin Kingdom, forcing it to take this desperate measure? All kinds of speculations came to his mind, causing Mu Jiuchen to fall into deep thought.

If Jiang Li were here, he would probably tell them the reason.
