The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

"Cousin, do you think we should still investigate? Things are already so obvious!" Xie Ci began to chatter as soon as he entered the inn room. While talking, he paced back and forth in the room, looking a little anxious.

Jiang Xing stood quietly in front of the window, staring at the bustling street below, seemingly not taking Xie Ci's words to heart. After a long while, he slowly said, "What we have seen may be just the tip of the iceberg. This matter is far more complicated than we imagined. If we don't investigate further, it may be difficult to truly uncover the truth behind it."

Jiang Xing's tone was very firm, and no one could doubt his determination. He knew that this mission was full of dangers and challenges, but he also understood that if this problem could not be completely solved, it would bring disaster to more people. Therefore, even if there were many difficulties ahead, he had to move forward bravely and never back down.

"So which direction should we investigate next? We have very limited people available at hand!" Xie Ci looked at Jiang Xing with a worried look on his face. The two of them arrived here in advance as the vanguard, but the subsequent reinforcements and carriages transporting supplies would not arrive for another two days.

Jiang Xing was silent for a moment and then said, "In the afternoon, let's go to the third brother's shop together and ask him to help find a few capable people. After all, there are all kinds of people in the third brother's shop. Maybe these people can play an unexpected role, which is better than us being helpless like this now." His tone seemed a little heavy, as if he was worried about what would happen next.

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that! It turns out that I am still suitable for killing enemies on the battlefield! You, cousin, should do this kind of brainstorming!" Xie Ci patted his head and said with a look of sudden enlightenment.

Jiang Xing looked at Xie Ci and couldn't help laughing: "You are not like this on the battlefield. You are brave and resourceful on the battlefield, and the enemy is terrified. Why do you become so stupid in the officialdom?"

Xie Ci scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Hehe, cousin, I am like this, I am straightforward. I really can't deal with the intrigues in the officialdom. It is easier to kill the enemy on the battlefield, just rush up and chop."

Jiang Xing nodded to show his understanding. He knew Xie Ci was a simple and upright person, not good at playing tricks. But in this officialdom, if you don't know how to adapt and think, you can easily be used or framed.

"However, cousin, although we are in officialdom now, we cannot completely give up thinking. Sometimes, a good strategy can be worth thousands of troops. Moreover, only by continuous learning and progress can we better serve the country and the people." Jiang Xing said to Xie Ci earnestly.

Xie Ci nodded seriously and said, "Well, cousin, I understand. I will pay more attention in the future and try to use my brain more. But then again, it would be great if I could stay on the battlefield all the time, so that I can fully display my martial arts."

Jiang Xing smiled and said, "The war will eventually end, and we will eventually return to our ordinary lives. Besides, the officialdom is not meaningless. We also need people here to maintain fairness and justice and promote the development of the country."

After listening to Jiang Xing's words, Xie Ci said thoughtfully: "Well, cousin, you are right. I will try my best to adapt to the life in officialdom and do my part well." After saying that, he looked into the distance, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

In the afternoon, Jiang Xing and Xie Ci came to the door of Jiang Bu's shop. The third brother's shops are all over the country. There is a striking sign with the word "Li" hanging in front of each shop, which can be recognized at a glance. These shops are specially opened by the third brother for Li'er. Whether it is a snack shop, a restaurant, or rouge and powder and other daily necessities, they have everything. As long as Li'er needs it, the third brother will open it without hesitation.

Jiang Xing and Xie Ci walked into one of the restaurants, called "Liweilou", and were immediately greeted by a warm waiter.

"Gentlemen, are you here to have dinner or just to take a short rest? We have everything you need in this building!" the waiter asked very politely.

Jiang Xing replied modestly: "Please arrange a quieter private room for us."

The waiter took a look at the two guests' clothes. Although they were not very luxurious, he realized from their extraordinary temperament that they might not be ordinary people. So he decided to take them to the Bamboo Garden upstairs.

"Okay, please follow me, gentlemen. The bamboo garden upstairs is quiet and peaceful, just right for you two." The waiter led Jiang Xing and Xie Ci upstairs and brought them into the bamboo garden.

Jiang Xing and Xie Ci stared at the layout in front of them and couldn't help but sigh that this room lived up to its name. Every detail in the room revealed an atmosphere that matched its name, as if it was carefully designed to echo this unique title.

Jiang Xing smiled slightly, reached out and took out a crystal clear jade pendant from his bosom, and gently placed it on the table. The jade pendant emitted a faint light, and it was obviously not an ordinary item. Xie Ci's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly regained his composure.

The waiter had been watching the two's actions, and when he saw Jiang Xing placing the jade pendant, he immediately nodded in understanding, then quickly turned and left. Obviously, this jade pendant had a special meaning, and it allowed the waiter to understand its meaning and take corresponding actions.

Jiang Xing sat quietly on the chair, tapping his fingers on the table, as if thinking about something. Xie Ci stood silently by the side, his eyes flickering, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
