[Marriage first, love later] She is happy after marrying a widower

"Investigate, investigate for me, who rescued Cui Jingshu?"

Jiang Zhi stood in the messy yard, like an angry wolf, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and his eyes were full of anger and ferocity.

The moonlight cast a cold light on this bloody place, making the corpses lying on the ground look even more eerie and terrifying.

The wounds were still oozing blood, gathering into dark red pools of blood, which glowed strangely under the moonlight, like gaping bloody mouths, emitting a pungent smell of blood that almost made people nauseous.

Jiang Zhi's chest was heaving violently, he was breathing heavily, and one hand was tightly covering his injured arm.

The clothes at the wound were soaked with blood, and blood was still dripping down from between his fingers, forming small blood flowers on the ground.

But he didn't care about the pain at the moment. He was filled with anger and unwillingness that his good plan had been ruined. He shouted at his subordinates in a scream of frustration.

"What are you doing here, you bunch of useless people? You couldn't even keep an eye on one person and just watched them get rescued. What's the point of keeping you around? Now, you've become just decorations, right?"

The men around him were silent, with their heads down, not daring to breathe, their bodies trembling slightly, for fear that this anger would affect them.

Jiang Zhi recalled the time when he first came to this small town. He had originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos in the world, with wars everywhere and no one to supervise him, to capture a few beautiful women and bring them back so that he could have some fun and kill these boring days.

That day, when he was strolling around the town with his men, he accidentally saw Cui Jingshu and the maid beside her, and his eyes lit up at that moment.

He was secretly delighted. The looks of these two people were really outstanding. One was pretty and charming, the other was gentle and generous. Their temperaments were even more extraordinary. In this remote town, they were like two shining pearls. He immediately had dirty thoughts and wanted to take them back to his residence immediately.

Just as she was about to take action, the maidservant beside Cui Jingshu sensed the danger. In a moment of desperation, she didn't care about anything else and shouted loudly.

"Do you know who my wife is? She is General Changqing's wife. If you dare to touch her, the general will not let you go!"

When Jiang Zhi heard this, he was stunned at first, and then other thoughts arose in his mind.

He knew very well that his father had sent people to Changqing several times in recent days for his so-called grand ambitions. Each time, he tried to persuade him with kind words and brought generous gifts, and was determined to cooperate with Changqing.

If the two of them could attack the capital together, they would divide the world equally, each occupying one side and sharing the supreme power, glory and wealth.

But Changqing, that guy, no one knew what had happened to him. He was determined and never agreed. He always sent his father's envoys back, which made King Mobei angry and helpless.

But no matter how angry they were, they couldn't do anything to Chang Qing. After all, Chang Qing had 100,000 soldiers in his hands.

The soldiers and horses under his command are all battle-hardened and well-trained elite soldiers. They firmly guard the border like a solid barrier that is difficult for others to cross. They are a powerful force that cannot be ignored by the entire Red Moon Kingdom.

In addition to Chang Qing, Cui Jingshu is not an ordinary woman. She is the daughter of the Qinghe Cui family and is from the direct branch of the family. Her status and position are very noble.

The Qinghe Cui family is a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years in the Red Moon Country. It has a very deep foundation and many talented people in the family. It has considerable influence in the court and in the martial arts world.

The Cui family has industries all over the place, involving all walks of life, especially the iron mines and salt mines, which are important resources related to the national economy and people's livelihood. They are like two inexhaustible mountains of gold and silver. Whoever can get the support of the Cui family will surely be able to gain more power on the road to fighting for the world and get twice the result with half the effort.

Therefore, when Jiang Zhi heard Cui Jingshu's identity, he immediately changed his mind, thinking that this was a rare opportunity. If he could get Cui Jingshu in his hands, would he still be afraid that Chang Qing would not obey him in the future?

So, he put aside his dirty thoughts for the time being, ordered his men to keep Cui Jingshu under good care, and waited for the right opportunity to use Cui Jingshu to threaten Chang Qing in order to fulfill his father's wish.

But he never expected that it had only been one day, just one short day, and someone came with troops and rescued Cui Jingshu without anyone noticing. This really caught him off guard and made all his plans go down the drain.

The more Jiang Zhi thought about it, the angrier he became. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Could it be that someone from Changqing did it?

But how did they sneak into Mobei so quietly?

Could it be that his territory had already been thoroughly explored by them, and had been infiltrated by Changqing's people without anyone noticing?

If this is true, we will be in big trouble.

Jiang Zhi frowned, with a deep "川" character formed between his eyebrows. His eyes were filled with doubt and vigilance. He paced back and forth, looking anxious and angry.

Although he was usually violent and acted on impulse, he could still calm himself down and think things over when faced with such an important situation concerning the family business.

He gritted his teeth, his face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it, he glared fiercely at the group of people under him and shouted loudly.

"What are you all standing there for? Go and investigate! One by one, don't try to just brush it off. You have to find out who did it. If I find out you're not doing your job properly, you'll be in trouble. Don't blame me for being ruthless and using your heads as a sacrifice to the souls of the dead in this yard!"

Upon hearing this, the men trembled with fear and quickly responded in unison, "Yes, my lord, we will investigate immediately and do our utmost to get to the bottom of this matter!"

After saying that, they scattered in all directions, each of them looking nervous and walking hurriedly, not daring to delay for even a moment, and each went to track down the clues of the person who rescued Cui Jingshu.

Some ran towards the road outside the yard, trying to see if they could find some traces of horseshoe prints or footprints.

Some of them searched around the yard to see if there were any left behind that might provide some clues.

Others ran to ask the surviving guards around, hoping to get some useful information from them.

The whole yard became busy again for a while, but in this busy atmosphere, there was a sense of depression and panic.
