Jiang Family Ancestral Hall.

Old Mrs. Jiang knelt in front of the incense table and kowtowed three times.

She prayed silently in her heart, asking the ancestors to bless Jiang Cixi to return safely this time.

In fact, she did not agree with Jiang Cixi going to Canghai City.

Let’s not talk about whether the news about Hua Ji in Canghai City is true or not. Even if it is true, Hua Ji is a cruel and ruthless woman. It will definitely not be a good thing for Jiang Cixi to go against her.

But even so, she knew that she couldn't persuade Jiang Cixi.

How can we let go of the hatred for the murder of our father and mother so easily?

She also hated and wished that the people in the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas could die a worthy death.

However, she was more afraid of losing another granddaughter.

"Grandma, you've been kneeling here for an hour, and it's getting dark. You should go back and rest early."

Jiang Wuya stood aside, looking at the old lady's aged body, with deep helplessness in his eyes.

Old Mrs. Jiang sighed, "I'm old and can't do anything. I can only pray to our ancestors to bless Cixi to return safely."

"Grandma, my sister will definitely come back safely."

Old Mrs. Jiang got up from the ground with the help of Jiang Wuya. She glanced at Jiang Wuya and asked, "Have you checked the background of that girl?"

"I've checked..." Jiang Wuya told everything he had found out about Lin Yusheng.

However, we only found out that Lin Yusheng was Chinese, where she lived, what her parents did, her family's basic situation, and her education.

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Jiang rolled her eyes. "I heard that this girl was raised by Cixi herself before she was taken back to the Lin family?"

She was puzzled.

"Why would Cixi raise a child who has nothing to do with her for no reason?"

"This..." Jiang Wuya thought for a moment, "My sister has always been a person who appears cold but is actually warm-hearted. It's not impossible that she found an abandoned baby and took pity on him so she raised him."

After hearing this explanation, the old lady's doubts did not dissipate at all.

She always felt that things would not be that simple.

The old lady closed her eyes again and said, "Let's talk about that girl after Cixi comes back."

She remembered something and asked Jiang Wuya, "I heard that it was Jiang Xuanji's idea to let Lin Yusheng come along this time?"

Jiang Wuya nodded.

"What is this old guy Xuan Ji up to?" Old Mrs. Jiang really couldn't understand.

But she never dared to question Jiang Xuanji easily.

Four years ago, she also questioned Jiang Xuanji and told Haotian not to take Jiang Xuanji's words to heart. Unexpectedly, it ended up causing a disaster.

So now, like Jiang Cixi, she also worships Jiang Xuanji as a god.

Even though he strongly disagreed with Lin Yusheng and Jiang Cixi traveling together, he did not object.

Jiang Xuanji had better make sure that girl doesn't cause trouble for Jiang Cixi, otherwise...

She won't let Jiang Xuanji go!

"Grandma, let me help you go back and rest."

"Ah."

Jiang Wuya was walking back with the old lady. Suddenly, a man in black came to Jiang Wuya hurriedly. "Master Wuya, something happened! I just found out that the communication with Canghai City has been cut off!"

"what?!"

The old lady's face changed drastically.

Jiang Wuya frowned upon hearing this, "How could this be?"

This time, Jiang Cixi went to Canghai City with not only two elders and Jiang Xiuluo and others, but also more than 30 guards with extraordinary skills and advanced ancient martial arts.

This group of guards are different from the guards in the castle. They are carefully trained by the Jiang family and are only taken with them when they are on important missions. Those guards are first-class in both skills and quality.

Since they set out, this group of guards have naturally kept in touch with some people in the castle.

But someone just reported that this group of guards suddenly lost contact.

Jiang Wuya immediately tried to contact Jiang Cixi, but found that Jiang Cixi had also lost contact!

There is only one possibility in this situation, that is, Jiang Cixi and others' communication signals have been blocked by technology.

Since their signals can be blocked, it means that Jiang Cixi and the others must have been targeted and surrounded!

Jiang Wuya hadn't expected such a change to happen right after he received the news that Jiang Cixi and the others had arrived in Canghai City. He quickly gave the order, "Immediately take people to Canghai City for support. Also, continue trying to contact them. Tell me immediately if you have any news!"

After Jiang Wuya said this, the old lady next to him probably realized that Jiang Cixi was in great danger. Her face turned pale and she fainted!

-

On the other side, Jiang Cixi naturally also noticed something unusual.

"Oh no! Miss Cixi!" the captain of the guards hurried over to report, "The wireless network and communication signals in the area we are in have been blocked. It's a regional blockade! The range is at least ten kilometers!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Cixi's expression instantly became serious.

On the day the castle was looted four years ago, the communication signals with the outside world were cut off at the beginning and it was directly isolated!

So when the incident happened that day, the Jiang family could not get in touch with the royal family, could not get support from the army, and could not get in touch with other families. So the Jiang family could only be trapped in the castle they built with their own hands, with no one to turn to for help.

Isolation is only the first step. Since the other party has trapped them, it means that they have fallen into the other party's encirclement.

Sure enough, guards soon rushed in in a hurry.

"Miss Cixi, something bad has happened!"

"There's a group of people who look like they're from the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas, heading towards our villa! They're coming from all directions, clearly intending to surround us!"

"And they've blocked all the roads in and out! It seems like we can't get out of this area now!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically, and the faces of several elders turned ashen.

Second Elder Jiang Zonghua said angrily, "We were surrounded the moment we arrived. This is clearly a masterful move by His Majesty the Ten Thousand Buddhas!"

"This is a trap!" Fifth Elder Jiang Qingdi clenched his fist and said, "There's a traitor in our Jiang family! Otherwise, how could they know exactly when we came to Canghai City and where we stayed?"

Everyone realized that a crisis was coming.

The air fell into silence.

At this moment, Jiang Cixi said, "Everyone, listen to my orders, pack up your things, and leave this area quickly!"

Upon hearing this, the guards in the room frowned slightly, "Is it too late now? The area is already filled with people from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall."

"Even if we don't have enough time, we have to break out! Otherwise, are the forty or so of us going to have to wait here for the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall's people to surround and annihilate us?"

By then, I'm afraid there will be rivers of blood, and it will be a horrific sight.

Only by breaking out of this encirclement can there be a glimmer of hope for survival.

Jiang Zonghua and Jiang Qingdi both felt that what Jiang Cixi said made sense. "We really can't just sit there and wait for death now. We have to find a way to break out. Otherwise, if we are trapped here and die, we will be completely isolated and helpless!"
