The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

"Your Majesty, Xu Jie sent a message saying that people from the capital have arrived at the post station."

Upon hearing this, the King of Qi paused for a moment as he was about to bring the purple clay teapot to his lips: "Oh? Has everything been settled? But the time of my arrival seems to be a little different from what was expected, and I was actually one or two days late. I wonder if there is something else going on?" As he spoke, the King of Qi slowly put down the teapot, his eyes as deep as a pool, revealing a hint of doubt.

It turned out that the King of Qi was sitting on a soft couch, leisurely sipping a pot of top-quality tea - the precious Da Hong Pao specially presented by the Yangzhou prefect. After taking a sip, he felt the fragrance of the tea overflowing and the endless aftertaste. He couldn't help but feel happy and thought about asking the prefect for some more later.

The subordinate beside him hurriedly replied, "Your Highness, Lord Xu made some inquiries and learned that the people from the capital had a slight delay due to the long journey and unfamiliar climate."

After hearing this, the King of Qi raised his lips slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile of contempt: "Such a small matter is not worth mentioning. Send my message to the prefect of Yangzhou, telling him that the accounts are ready. Since these people are willing to check, let them check!" The words clearly showed the King of Qi's contempt for these two people. In his eyes, these so-called visitors from the capital were just young people who had just started out, how could they cause much trouble?

After hearing the prince's words, the people below couldn't help but feel worried, but soon changed their minds: their prince is definitely not an ordinary person! You know, this prince is the uncle of the current emperor!

Speaking of this Prince of Qi, Mu Yanting, he has a great background. He is not only the biological brother of the previous emperor, but also the uncle of Mu Jiurui and Mu Jiuchen. Everyone in the world praises him and says that he is loyal and kind. Back then, when the previous emperor was still alive, the Prince of Qi had no ambition for government affairs. He neither fought for power nor interfered in court affairs. He only indulged himself in the mountains and rivers, pursuing a free and unrestrained life. Even his descendants inherited his father's "free and easy" temperament-the Prince of Qi was simply a complete dandy, causing trouble in Yangzhou City all day long, and the old prince was so angry that he often cursed. Fortunately, the previous emperor thought of family affection and gave Yangzhou City to the Prince of Qi as his fief.

The subordinate felt relieved when he thought of this, and hurried out to tell the people at the post station about the prince's instructions.

After a short rest at the post station, Jiang Xing and his companions decided to visit the Yangzhou prefectural government residence. At this time, the atmosphere in the room was solemn, and Thirteen was reporting to Jiang Xing what he had learned with his head down.

"Sir, I can be sure that the man did enter the Prince of Qi's Mansion. I saw it clearly at that time, there is no way I could be wrong!" Thirteen said in a firm tone.

Hearing this news, Jiang Xing was shocked. He stood up suddenly, stared at Shisan and asked, "Did you really see it clearly? Is there anything wrong?"

Faced with Jiang Xing's questioning, Thirteen did not flinch. He knew that this matter was of great importance and he had to ensure that it was correct. He nodded again affirmatively, indicating that he was definitely not mistaken. However, even he himself found it unbelievable. Why did that person appear in the Prince Qi's Mansion?

Thirteen thought to himself that if he had followed in to check what was going on, he might have gotten more clues, but he was worried that doing so would alert the enemy and affect the progress of the entire plan. In the end, he chose to stay put and return to report the situation to the adults.

I thought Jiang Xing would have anticipated this news, or at least be able to remain calm. But now I saw the surprise on his face.

"Thirteen, we have to act separately on this matter. Xie Ci and I will investigate openly with the Yangzhou prefect, but I don't think we will gain anything. You need to conduct the investigation secretly with Chujiu."

Hearing Jiang Xing's arrangement, Thirteen couldn't help but feel suspicious. He secretly wondered if his true identity had been discovered. Watching Jiang Xing sipping tea leisurely, Thirteen felt more and more that something was wrong.

"Chujiu and I. Isn't Chujiu my cousin's woman?" Shisan repeated with a look of suspicion on his face, trying to find a clue from Jiang Xing's expression.

As if sensing Thirteen's worry, Jiang Xing put down the teacup in his hand and said slowly: "What's the matter? Do you have any questions about my arrangements?" He looked directly at Thirteen, his eyes revealing an elusive depth.

Thirteen hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why do you trust me and Chujiu so much?"

Jiang Xing smiled slightly, waved his hand and said: "Don't be nervous, I don't intend to pursue the issue of your and Chujiu's identities. Since you are here, I choose to believe you. It is better to say that I trust the character of the person behind you." After that, Jiang Xing picked up the teacup again and took a sip.

Thirteen's eyes lit up, and he secretly sighed in his heart: "Wow! Their master has always been known for his intelligence and wisdom, and there is no rival in the world. I didn't expect that when I met him today, this Lord Jiang was also such an intelligent person. It is true that birds of a feather flock together! Thinking of this, Thirteen had even more respect for Lord Jiang. As he said, the person I like must be extraordinary and different!
