Happy Spring Every Year

Jiang Xun turned around when he heard the sound, but before he could react, he was bumped by Shen Jiasui and staggered.

"Lord be careful!"

The subordinate beside him was startled and drew the knife from his waist.

Jiang Xun stood still and moved his feet, but covered Shen Jiasui behind him tightly, and then ordered in a cold voice:

"Let's go. No one is allowed to approach. Tell Princess Huaizhen that the person she's looking for is here. Please send someone to pick him up as soon as possible."

The subordinate was stunned at first, then instinctively lowered his eyes to look, and saw a wet and dirty skirt exposed behind Jiang Xun, and the original color could no longer be distinguished.

He was startled and realized that the voice he had just heard was indeed a female voice.

This subordinate was also smart. He immediately put away his sword, bowed and retreated, and said, understandingly:

"Yes, I'll go right away. I didn't hear anything."

Jiang Xun couldn't help but frown when he heard the second half of the sentence, and finally shook his head lightly.

Last year he was assassinated and suffered serious injuries. The next day, his teacher sent four followers, named East, West, South and North Wind respectively.

When I met Miss Shen in the Imperial College that day, she was accompanied by the south wind, but today she was accompanied by the north wind.

Bei Feng came from a military background and was very skilled in martial arts, so he was often accompanied by others when he traveled.

When Bei Feng had disappeared from view, Jiang Xun turned around and saw that most of his outer robe had been pressed down by Shen Jiasui, but her head was still covered.

Jiang Xun hesitated for a moment, then squatted down and called out softly, "Miss Shen?"

Snapped--

Shen Jiasui suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Jiang Xun's wrist, which was resting on his knee, with all his strength.

Jiang Xun frowned, not only because of the severe pain in his wrist, but also because Shen Jiasui's palm was burning like charcoal.

At this time, Shen Jiasui slowly raised her head, and her outer robe gradually slipped off, revealing her disheveled face.

Her vision was blurred and her will almost collapsed, but she still struggled to hold on with the overwhelming hatred.

"Lu Yunzheng, pay with your life! I want you to pay with your life!"

Shen Jiasui gritted his teeth and spoke, his voice hoarse.

Jiang Xun's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this, but he suppressed his thoughts and leaned forward again, speaking solemnly:

"Miss Shen, my name is Jiang Xun. Princess Huaizhen will send someone to pick you up immediately."

"Jiang Xun......"

Shen Jiasui murmured again, and his thoughts suddenly turned, as if he was in front of the Dali Temple again, in a mess, kneeling and begging desperately.

She raised her head with great effort, but her vision was as blurry as in her previous life, and she couldn't see the face of the person in front of her at all.

Her eyes were sore, "Master Jiang..."

"It's down."

Jiang Xun responded calmly.

Shen Jiasui finally let go of Jiang Xun's wrist. She wanted to say something, but she had already collapsed due to exhaustion.

Jiang Xun lowered his head slightly and just saw Shen Jiasui's right hand stretched out on the ground. His five fingers were slender, but there were thick calluses on the inside of his index finger.

Those are the marks left by years of handling weapons.

He glanced at his wrist again. The severe pain had subsided, but there was a clear red mark of five fingers left on it.

What is the deep hatred between Lu Yunzheng and the Shen family?

If it was just a matter of breaking off the engagement, Shen Jiasui would not have said the word "pay with one's life".

Jiang Xun's mind was racing. Seeing that Shen Jiasui seemed to be unconscious, he hesitated whether to help her sit up.

Just then, there was a noise not far away.

"The Lord has ordered that no one can pass through."

"I'm here to look for someone on the orders of the princess!"

The person who came had an urgent voice. It was a woman's voice, but she refused to introduce herself.

Hearing this, Jiang Xun lifted up his outer robe again to cover Shen Jiasui's face, then quickly stood up and stepped back, saying loudly:

"Let them in."

After a while, footsteps approached, and it was a lady who moved swiftly and looked anxious.

She saw a person lying on the ground at a glance, and her face turned pale instantly.

Jiang Xun took a step forward, standing between the two of them. He lowered his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Madam, please stop. May I ask who you are looking for?"

No wonder Jiang Xun was so cautious. The thieves’ plan failed today, and the most crucial person was Shen Jiasui.

Now that he has met her, he must protect Shen Jiasui no matter what.

"I'm her mother!"

The person who came was almost crying. It was Ji Wan.

Just now she was sitting in the backyard chatting with the ladies when suddenly the nanny beside Princess Rong came to look for her.

She couldn't help but grumble in her heart, and when Princess Rong told her what happened in the backyard with a grim look on her face, she was frightened and immediately came out to look for someone.

Ji Wan was also careful, and like Jiang Xun, she never mentioned Shen Jiasui's name.

Today's matter is of no trivial importance. It would be best if Shen Jiasui could clear herself of any responsibility. Even if she cannot stay out of it, the fewer people who know about her involvement, the better.

When Jiang Xun heard this, Yue Ju glanced at Ji Wan's face. Seeing that she was anxious and didn't seem to be pretending, he immediately nodded and made way.

Ji Wan's eyes were red. She took three or two steps forward, lifted up her outer robe, and saw Shen Jiasui's disheveled and weak appearance. Tears immediately rolled down her cheeks.

She leaned over and picked up Shen Jiasui sideways, still covering her tightly with her outer robe.

Jiang Xun raised his hand and pointed forward, "Madam, come out from here and turn left at the second intersection, which is the changing room. There are already people stationed there."

Ji Wan nodded, no longer in the mood to talk to others. She just said "thank you" and left in a hurry.

Jiang Xun waited until Ji Wan's back disappeared before he stepped out of the path.

At this time, there were guards everywhere. Bei Feng was standing next to a male corpse. When he saw Jiang Xun, he immediately stood up and said, "Sir!"

Jiang Xun waved his hand, walked to the side of the corpse and squatted down, stretched out two fingers and gently felt the corpse's jaw, temples, behind the ears, and neck, and said in a low voice:

"Tell me in detail what happened just now."

Beifeng immediately squatted down and spoke in a deep voice.

Shen Jiansui's call just now was very timely. The guards moved upon hearing the sound and quickly caught up with the man.

At this time, the man had been forced to the vicinity of the mansion wall. Seeing that he could not move forward, he suddenly flew towards the wall, trying to escape.

Upon seeing this, Bei Feng immediately threw the long knife in his hand, but because he wanted to capture the man alive, he only stabbed the man in the thigh.

Half of his shoulder was sticking out of the courtyard wall, but he fell back in pain. Knowing that he had no way to escape, he rushed straight towards the spear of the palace guard and ended his life.

Jiang Xun nodded when he heard this and stood up at this moment.

He checked carefully and found that the man was not wearing a human skin mask.

Bei Feng then stood up. Jiang Xun then asked, "You just said that the people from the East City Military Command have been wandering outside the wall for a long time?"

Bei Feng nodded immediately. "Yes, I saw the thief trying to escape, and I was worried that someone might be there to help him, so I went outside to check."

"I didn't expect to run into someone from the Military Command Headquarters. I just learned that they patrolled the city today and walked back and forth outside the Prince's Mansion several times."

Jiang Xun lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, his face showing no emotion at all, and he simply said:

"Send their deputy commander to see me."
