The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife
Chapter 35 No Why
"Okay." Although Mu Jiuchen was somewhat confused, he did not ask, but chose to trust. He looked at Jiang Li quietly, with a hint of complex emotions in his eyes.
Jiang Li was also very nervous at this time. She was not sure about what she said, and she didn't know whether Mu Jiuchen would really believe her. Seeing Mu Jiuchen agree without hesitation, without even the slightest doubt, she felt surprised and relieved.
"Your Highness, don't you want to ask where I got the information from?" Jiang Li couldn't help but ask.
"I believe everything you say." These words flowed into Jiang Li's heart like a warm current.
"Hmm? Why?" Jiang Li couldn't help but ask in confusion. She really couldn't understand why Mu Jiuchen would say such firm words to her. However, the moment she looked into his eyes, she could truly feel his sincerity and honesty.
Jiang Li thought to herself that they were not familiar with each other, but for some reason, she felt an inexplicable sense of trust at this moment. This feeling surprised her, even herself. She couldn't help but start to reflect on where this strange change in emotion came from.
Perhaps it was because of Mu Jiuchen's deep and warm eyes, or the sincerity and frankness revealed in his words and deeds. Although the two had known each other for a short time, something had quietly changed in this short time together.
"No reason!" Mu Jiuchen's voice was sonorous and powerful, and his eyes were firm, as if nothing could shake him.
Jiang Li was shocked when she heard this. She raised her head and wanted to look at Mu Jiuchen again, but she found herself a little shy. She avoided his eyes and didn't dare to look directly into his eyes, as if she was afraid of seeing something that would make her heart beat in those deep eyes.
At this moment, Jiang Li's heart was full of contradictions and doubts. She didn't know why she had such a reaction. It was just a simple answer, but it made her feel so weird. This feeling was like an invisible force, quietly stirring her peaceful state of mind.
She tried to analyze this strange feeling with her mind, but her thoughts were like a tangled mess, and she couldn't sort it out. Jiang Li couldn't help but think to herself: Could it be that I have developed special feelings for Mu Jiuchen? But how is this possible? We just met not long ago!
However, no matter how hard she tried to find the answer, that indescribable feeling still lingered in her heart and could not be shaken off. Jiang Li took a deep breath and decided to put aside these worries for the time being and refocus her attention on the matter at hand.
"Since the prince has believed what I said, please arrange your return as soon as possible. Now that the business has been settled, should we ask the waiter to serve the dishes?" Jiang Li thought to herself, thinking that she should show the proper etiquette as a host at this moment, after all, this is a restaurant that her family has run for many years! So she suggested to the other party with a smile, revealing a sense of intimacy and casualness in her words.
"Um, Miss Jiang, I have one more thing. Did you find any suspicious people or anything else happened last time at Huangjue Temple?" Mu Jiuchen asked with a frown and a hint of worry in his eyes.
When Jiang Li heard this, her face changed slightly, as if she recalled some bad memories, but she still tried to remain calm and replied: "Uh... Actually, there was indeed a man in black who broke in at that time."
At this point, Jiang Li paused for a moment, as if he was thinking about whether to continue. Seeing this, Mu Jiuchen quickly asked, "What happened next? Did the man in black do anything excessive?"
Jiang Li took a deep breath and continued, "I hid in the closet at the time, and I thought I could escape, but I didn't expect that the man in black seemed to know I was there. Fortunately, Guard Changfeng arrived in time, but because I didn't know the other party's strength, I didn't dare to help easily, and I took Guard Changfeng away on my own initiative. Your Majesty, will my doing this disrupt your original plan?" After saying this, she lowered her head, revealing a little guilt.
"No, you did a great job. Next time you encounter danger, you must protect yourself first. That man was indeed an extraordinary martial artist last time, and you did save Changfeng's life. Changfeng should be the one thanking you."
"That man is the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom! He is ruthless, sinister and cunning, and he will use any means to do so. I'm really worried that he will launch a crazy revenge against you! Therefore, today I specially brought a well-trained secret guard with me, hoping that she can always guard by your side to ensure your personal safety." Mu Jiuchen secretly calculated in his heart and felt that now was the perfect time to arrange Sixteen to be with Jiang Li.
Hearing this, Jiang Li opened his mouth in surprise: "Ah? Why is that? In fact, there is really no need to mobilize so many troops. I also know a little bit of martial arts. Although I can't say it's superb, I can at least defend myself."
However, Jiang Li knew very well that the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom was not a good person. Once she got involved with him, it would be difficult to get away. So, she waved her hand and said politely, "I'm really sorry to cause you trouble. Please take back your order!"
Mu Jiuchen shook his head firmly, indicating that he could not accept Jiang Li's refusal. He explained to Jiang Li earnestly, "You should know how difficult the Fourth Prince of Jin is, right? No one who has been involved with him has ever escaped unscathed! So, please don't refuse anymore, okay?"
"In that case, I'd better give my third brother a try. If there is really no suitable candidate, I'll ask grandpa for help." Jiang Li thought to herself. She really didn't want to rely too much on others, especially didn't want to cause trouble for Mu Jiuchen.
In fact, with Jiang Li's status, position and strength, it would not be difficult to call in some manpower, but she chose this relatively troublesome method because in her opinion, relying on herself is the most reliable way.
However, Mu Jiuchen seemed to see through her thoughts and said, "You don't have to worry too much about causing me trouble or trouble. It's just that some things can't be solved by force alone, and some special means are needed. And these are exactly what ordinary warriors lack."
Then he continued to explain: "Although the people under your third brother are all skilled in martial arts, they are all from the underworld after all! They tend to pay more attention to the so-called "righteousness" - this can certainly make them united and help each other; but sometimes they are easily swayed by emotions and affect their judgment and decision-making! As for the elites under your grandfather... it's even more serious! After all, the old man values loyalty the most in his life! Therefore, the people under his command will naturally inherit his legacy~"
Hearing this, Jiang Li nodded thoughtfully to show her agreement, and at the same time she was very impressed by Mu Jiuchen's ability to understand the characteristics of various people so thoroughly. After careful consideration, she finally understood why only the secret guards met the requirements of this mission - they had to possess both extraordinary skills and unfathomable and strange strategies to ensure that the goal could be completed without any mistakes!
"Okay." Jiang Li could only nod in agreement.
Mu Jiuchen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
