Chapter 208: Who can't I mess with?
The carriage carrying the Jiang family members went farther and farther away, and after it disappeared at the end of the road, an extremely luxurious carriage hiding in the dark slowly started up, turned around and drove away in the opposite direction.
The atmosphere inside this spacious and exquisite carriage was so heavy and oppressive that it was almost impossible to breathe. Mu Jiuchen sat in it, his handsome face now covered with dark clouds, so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out. The chill emanating from him penetrated the thick curtains, and even Chang Feng, who was waiting outside to drive the car, could clearly feel it.
Chang Feng muttered to himself, "Who is this fool who doesn't know how to live or die? Why did he have to mess with the Jiang family? Don't they know? The Jiang family members are the treasures of the master! Sigh... I feel sorry for that blind guy. I'd better mourn for him for a minute!"
At the same time, there was silence in the study of the Prince Regent's Palace.
Mu Jiuchen sat in front of the large desk, his slender fingers tapping the tabletop rhythmically, making crisp sounds. Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Changyun walked in with An San.
The two of them saluted in unison and said, "Meet the Master."
Mu Jiuchen raised his head slightly, his eyes shot straight at An San, and asked, "Have you investigated everything clearly?"
An San nodded and quickly responded, "My Lord, I have found out. Those people all have a very tiny black eagle pattern on their bodies. If you don't look carefully, you can't detect it at all. In my opinion, they should be the same group of people who attacked Master Xiao Jiang last time, but this time their martial arts are much inferior."
After listening to An San's report, Mu Jiuchen frowned tightly, forming a deep "川" character. He snorted coldly and gritted his teeth and said, "Humph! It seems that some people's ambitions are becoming more and more inflated and unscrupulous!" After that, he waved his hand impatiently, signaling An San to retreat.
Mu Jiuchen stood up slowly, his slender figure looked a little lonely under the candlelight. He walked towards the bookshelf not far away with steady steps, his eyes wandering between the rows of books, and finally stopped at a seemingly ordinary corner.
He stretched out his right hand and gently pressed a button hidden in the dark. With a slight sound of the mechanism turning, an exquisite brocade box quietly appeared in front of him. This brocade box exuded a faint sandalwood fragrance, and the surface of the box was carved with exquisite patterns, as if telling an unknown story.
Mu Jiuchen carefully opened the brocade box, and what came into his sight was a yellowed letter. His eyes softened instantly, as if he had seen an old friend he had not seen for a long time. He gently picked up the letter and slowly stroked the envelope with his thumb, feeling the remaining temperature and traces of time on it.
However, after only a moment, Mu Jiuchen sighed deeply. It seemed that the contents of the letter reminded him of some past events that he did not want to recall, or some unattainable wishes. With a trace of helplessness and melancholy, he put the letter in his hand back into the brocade box and carefully closed the lid.
Finally, Mu Jiuchen pressed the button again, and the mysterious compartment slowly closed, as if it had never been opened. The entire room returned to its previous tranquility, with only Mu Jiuchen's slightly heavy breathing echoing in the air...
Mu Jiuchen turned his head with a serious expression and looked at Changyun who was standing respectfully beside him. He said slowly, "Changyun, quickly contact An Yi to come see me." Changyun took the order and left in a hurry. Not long after, a black shadow flashed into the room like a ghost, knelt on one knee, bowed his head and saluted to Mu Jiuchen, saying, "Your subordinate An Yi, greets the master!"
Mu Jiuchen nodded slightly, staring at An Yi with sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice: "You will immediately arrange for An Er to go to the Jiang family and continue to be responsible for protecting the safety of the Jiang family, especially Xiangya Garden as the top priority." Hearing this, An Yi's heart tightened suddenly. You know, there were already many secret guards around the Jiang family, and now the master has specially appointed An Er to go out in person, which shows that he attaches great importance to the future princess. However, An Yi did not say much, but nodded respectfully and said: "Yes, master. I will definitely live up to your trust."
Then, Mu Jiuchen seemed to remember something important, and he spoke again: "In addition, send people to closely monitor the movements of the Jin Kingdom delegation in the post house, especially Wanyan Yi and Wanyan Zhuer. If you find any abnormal situation, you must report it to me as soon as possible." At this point, Mu Jiuchen couldn't help but recall the various situations that happened at the banquet tonight, and a trace of worry rose in his heart. Wanyan Yi was definitely not a good person. This person was scheming, insidious and cunning, and he would never give up until he achieved his goal. In addition to him, the fifth princess of the Jin Kingdom was also a difficult person.
In the following days, Jiang Li was like a bird trapped in a cage, and was always tightly restrained by her mother at home. At first, she could barely endure this boring life, but as the days passed, she felt as if she was about to grow mold and fungi in this closed environment. You know, due to several consecutive accidents, the elders in the family became more and more strict in their supervision of her.
Every morning when she woke up, Jiang Li could not wait to go to the yard where her third brother Jiang Bu lived, trying to catch him and begging him to take her out for some fresh air. However, to her great disappointment, Jiang Bu had already received a strict order from his family - he could not take his sister out of the house no matter what. Faced with this situation, Jiang Li felt very frustrated and helpless.
However, Jiang Li was clever and did not give up. After much thought, she finally came up with another brilliant idea: to ask her personal maid Chun Tao to send an invitation letter to her good friend Murong Xue, inviting her to visit her house. However, Jiang Li was a little uneasy at this moment, because she did not know whether Sister Mu was free to come to the appointment.
Jiang Bu listened to her thoughts quietly, thought about it for a while, and then decisively decided to personally deliver the invitation for her. Jiang Li kept looking at his third brother, and saw that his handsome face had a slight smile on his eyes. Seeing this, Jiang Li couldn't help but reveal a teasing expression, and said with a smile: "Third brother, in my opinion, you are clearly not interested in the wine! Am I right, in fact, the one who really wants to see Sister Mu should be you? Hahaha!"
Facing such straightforward teasing from his sister, Jiang Bu just smiled and didn't take it to heart. He reached out and picked up the note as if nothing had happened, turned around and walked out the door with steady and firm steps. However, what no one expected was that on Jiang Bu's way to the Grand Princess's Mansion, something unexpected happened!
