Chapter 326 Saint Liu, Long Time No See
Outside Jiang Mansion, on the street.
It was evening, and the number of pedestrians on the street gradually decreased. Covered by a heavy snow, the entire capital seemed to be covered by a snow city.
Under the eaves, there was thick snow. Pedestrians in groups of three or two stepped on the snow and shuttled through the alleys in the capital. On the street, from time to time, a line of fully armed city defense guards passed by, patrolling the streets and alleys.
After the heavy snow, the capital was mixed with good and bad people, and the weather was cold and freezing. For ordinary people, this was a disaster. Every time after a heavy snow, I don’t know how many people froze to death on the streets, and it was easier to breed crime.
In the foot of the capital, this kind of thing didn’t happen much, but it was not completely absent. I heard that in the east of the city, the heavy snow last night overwhelmed a large area of houses and killed many people.
Early this morning, the atmosphere in the city was relatively cold and dull.
At this time, in a teahouse on the street, some figures were sitting in groups of three or two. It was freezing cold outside, but there was a stove in the teahouse, and pots of hot tea on the table. Passersby and businessmen, friends gathered in groups of three or two, whispering about the weather and the world, and talking noisily.
In the box in the corner of the second floor by the window, Lin Jiangnian looked out the window at the street, admiring the snowy scenery of the north city in winter.
On the street, you can occasionally see the figure of Mi Tiansi hiding in the shadow of the snow, hurrying by. With a solemn look and hurried steps, he walked towards the direction of Jiang Mansion.
Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Chen Feiyang's whereabouts are unknown, and Mi Tiansi is now in chaos!"
A slightly hoarse voice sounded in Lin Jiangnian's ears, but it sounded a little cheerful.
Lin Jiangnian raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Changqing who was sitting opposite him: "Who is in charge of the overall situation in the Secret Heaven Division now?"
"The Great Protector!" Chen Changqing's eyes were slightly solemn: "After Chen Feiyang got into trouble last night, the Great Protector appeared and ordered the Secret Heaven Division to find out the truth as soon as possible and find Chen Feiyang..."
"The Great Protector?"
Lin Jiangnian half-closed his eyes, as if thinking about something.
Chen Changqing looked at the Prince of Lin in front of him and said in a deep voice: "This person's martial arts are extremely high, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with..."
"How high?"
Lin Jiangnian asked with interest.
Chen Changqing shook his head and said solemnly: "The Great Protector rarely appears, and no one has seen him take action. But he can put a lot of pressure on me, and should not be underestimated..."
Chen Changqing looked at Lin Jiangnian and said worriedly: "Your Highness, it may not be easy for you to deal with him."
Hearing Chen Changqing's words, Lin Jiangnian also slightly serious.
Chen Changqing's martial arts were not weak. His strength of about rank four or five could put him under great pressure. This great guardian was probably at least rank three or above.
With Lin Jiangnian's martial arts, it was almost impossible to deal with him...
Chen Changqing saw Lin Jiangnian thinking silently, hesitated, and said, "Your Highness, I wonder if Chen Feiyang... is still alive?"
Last night, Chen Changqing only received Lin Jiangnian's order to find a way to cooperate and delay the reinforcements of the Mi Tiansi. As for what happened specifically, he didn't know.
When he arrived after dealing with Liu Chuan, there were only corpses on the ground at the crime scene, but Chen Feiyang was nowhere to be seen.
Lin Jiangnian glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, he won't survive."
Chen Feiyang was indeed not dead yet, but he was no different from being dead.
Hearing this, Chen Changqing breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, there was a hint of indignation in his eyes.
Chen Feiyang's death was obviously a very gratifying thing for him.
As the leader of the Secret Heaven Division, Chen Changqing had been suppressed by Chen Feiyang for many years. He had long been resentful of Chen Feiyang. Now that Chen Feiyang is gone, a huge stone on his heart has fallen.
"By the way, Your Highness, you have to be careful..."
Chen Changqing thought of something again, and looked slightly worried. He said in a deep voice: "The Great Protector ordered a thorough investigation of the attack on Chen Feiyang. At that time, he will mobilize the forces in Beijing. I am afraid that the investigation will be carried out in the Jiang Mansion and on Your Highness. Your Highness, you have to be careful..."
Lin Jiangnian had expected this and was not too worried.
"Let them investigate."
Lin Jiangnian slowly withdrew his eyes from the window and fell on Chen Changqing, and then said: "Except for the Great Protector, where are the other two?"
"Where are they now?"
Chen Changqing realized something: "Your Highness, do you want to..."
"Since you want to kill them, then hurry up... Chen Feiyang is gone, and the rest should be them." Lin Jiangnian spoke calmly.
His target was the four guardians of the Secret Heaven Division from the beginning.
Since he was going to kill them, he should be quick and decisive, and there was no need to drag his feet.
But Chen Changqing was still slightly shocked when he heard the news.
Now that Chen Feiyang had been attacked, the Secret Heaven Division had already been angry and vigilant. Logically, he should keep a low profile and wait for things to calm down before taking action.
Unexpectedly, this prince of Lin was actually ready to continue to take action?
Committing a crime against the wind?
Hearing this, Chen Changqing took a deep breath, his eyes slightly solemn: "The remaining two guardians are very close to the big guardian. The big guardian is very busy and can't stay in the Secret Heaven Division all the time. It will soon be handed over to the two guardians to preside over the overall situation. The two of them are not to be feared..."
At this point, Chen Changqing paused and said coldly: "If the big guardian hadn't intervened, the two of them..."
"I can handle it myself!"
Chen Changqing's eyes were deep and cold, and an indescribable breath permeated his body.
As the leader of the Secret Department, he is capable and talented, but is always trapped by power.
Now, the chance to break free is now.
Chen Changqing gradually showed his talents.
"Then things will be much simpler."
Listening to Chen Changqing's words, a smile appeared on Lin Jiangnian's face.
"Then, my prince will congratulate Chief Chen in advance?"
"Once the remaining three guardians are removed, Chief Chen of the Mitiansi will be in control. Congratulations!"
Chen Changqing's eyes narrowed slightly, he raised his head and met Lin Jiangnian's eyes, stood up slowly, looked respectful, and said in a solemn tone: "Chen doesn't dare. If Chen can really hold the power of Tiansi, it is all thanks to His Highness. In the future, , His Highness Chen Mouwei followed suit..."
"Chen will not disappoint His Highness, and I hope that His Highness will still remember what he promised Chen that day..."
"Don't let Chen down!"
Lin Jiangnian looked at Chen Changqing in front of him quietly and said calmly: "I know that you are a person with ideals. Since I have promised you, I will not break your promise."
"I also hope that in the hands of Chief Chen, the Mitian Secretary can truly plead for the people and seek a fair and stable world for the people."
Chen Changqing looked solemnly and said in a deep voice: "Chen will definitely go all out and do his best to live up to His Highness's expectations..."
"..."
Night falls.
The atmosphere in the city was a bit tense, especially outside the Jiang Mansion. There were many more city defense soldiers than before, as well as Mitiansi agents hiding in the darkness.
When Lin Jiangnian returned to Jiang Mansion, he discovered many secret sentries hidden outside Jiang Mansion.
This is not surprising.
Chen Feiyang was attacked outside the Jiang Mansion. The incident was so big, and the person who caused the accident was someone Mi Tiansi used to keep an eye on the Jiang Mansion, which had to make them suspicious of the Jiang Mansion.
To be precise, he suspected Lin Jiangnian!
However, Lin Jiangnian was the eldest son of Prince Lin. Without conclusive evidence, the people of Mitiansi naturally did not dare to act rashly. These secret whistles were obviously designed to keep an eye on Lin Jiangnian's whereabouts.
In this regard, Lin Jiangnian did not alert the enemy. Since they are willing to stare, let them do it.
Lin Jiangnian returned to the Jiang Mansion calmly, but as soon as he came back, he was called over by Jiang's father and mother.
After all, there was such a big thing happening outside the Jiang Mansion. It was impossible for Jiang Ningkang not to know about it, and he also doubted whether what happened outside was related to Lin Jiangnian.
Lin Jiangnian didn't explain much, he just reassured Father Jiang and Mother Jiang that he knew what was going on. Jiang Ningkang guessed something, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just patted Lin Jiangnian on the shoulder and told him to tell him if he encountered any danger or trouble.
As a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment, Jiang Ningkang did not have great power, but thanks to the influence of the Jiang family in Jiangnan, Jiang Ningkang did have some influence in Beijing.
Now that Lin Jiangnian has entered Beijing, Jiang Ningkang naturally takes good care of the only bloodline left by his biological sister.
Mother Jiang was worried for a while and repeatedly told Lin Jiangnian to be careful and protect himself. Lin Jiangnian also left and returned to the small courtyard after answering and agreeing.
The small courtyard was deserted. Lin Qingqing had gone out of the city to do business today and would not be able to come back recently. Even most of the other princes and soldiers around Lin Jiangnian had been sent out.
Some time ago, I went to investigate the third prince's private army hiding outside the capital, and I got some clues.
In the courtyard, there were only two maids left who had followed him to the capital from Prince Lin's Mansion.
"Where's the paper kite?"
Lin Jiangnian asked about the two maids, but the maids stayed in the small courtyard and didn't know.
This also means that Zhiyuan should not have been here today.
Lin Jiangnian was about to go look for Zhiyuan. When he was about to leave the small courtyard, he ran into Xiaozhu who was just returning.
"Your Highness?"
"Xiao Zhu."
Lin Jiangnian stopped and asked, "Where have you been?"
Xiaozhu blinked his smart eyes and smiled: "Xiaozhu just came back from Sister Zhiyuan's place."
"Paper Kite?"
Lin Jiangnian glanced behind Xiaozhu: "Is Zhiyuan next door?"
"No!"
Xiaozhu shook his head and explained in a low voice: "Sister Zhiyuan is still with Miss Jiang, disciplining the two young ladies brought back today for His Highness!"
Xiaozhu said with a smile, but then thought of something again and blinked: "No, it should be the two sisters!"
A somewhat proud smile appeared on her face: "They are younger than Xiaozhu and about the same age as Xiaozhu, so... they are sisters!"
Having said this, Xiaozhu waved his fists with excitement and joy: "Your Highness, Xiaozhu is finally not the youngest!"
"Yeah?"
Lin Jiangnian looked at Xiaozhu and waved to her: "Here, let His Highness help you check whether you are the youngest."
Xiaozhu's face quickly turned red: "Your Highness, you, you... are bad!"
Your Highness wants to examine the child. What kind of child is it?
She won't be fooled!
"Why are you blushing?"
Lin Jiangnian looked at Xiaozhu's face blushing slightly, and then suddenly realized: "Xiaozhu, are you thinking wrong? His Highness said he wanted you to come over to see if you have grown taller... What are you thinking?"
"Xiao Zhu doesn't believe it..."
Xiaozhu blushed, pouted her lips and snorted: "Your Highness, you must have bad intentions!"
"Hey!"
Seeing that Xiaozhu dared to speak to His Highness like this, Lin Jiangnian immediately stepped forward and pulled the little maid into his arms, bullying her with his hands for a while.
The bullied Xiaozhu's body became weak, her ears were red, her breathing was rapid, and she gasped repeatedly before letting her go.
"How did Zhiyuan discipline the two of them?"
Lin Jiangnian asked curiously.
He knew that Zhiyuan would find a way to find out all the details about the sisters, but he was also curious about how Zhiyuan would train them.
Xiaozhu blushed and snuggled into His Highness's arms. She was breathing rapidly, and her big eyes were filled with a bit of red mist. She whispered softly: "It's just like how I disciplined Xiaozhu before... Sister Zhiyuan interrogated them. The origin, and then teach them the rules of the house..."
"Sister Zhiyuan is so fierce. She made the two of them tremble with fear. They looked pitiful and had to explain everything..."
"Sister Zhiyuan even made them take off their clothes... Those two sisters are really good-looking and have fair skin. The sister named Jasmine has big breasts..."
As if remembering something, a look of envy appeared in Xiaozhu's eyes.
Lin Jiangnian lowered his head to look at Xiaozhu, touched her little head, and said comfortingly: "It's okay, Xiaozhu, you don't have to be envious, you are still young, you can still develop and grow, don't be discouraged."
Xiaozhu's face suddenly became hot with embarrassment, and he struggled to escape from Lin Jiangnian's arms.
"Hmph, Your Highness, you know how to bully Xiaozhu!"
"Ignore you!"
Xiaozhu blushed, spat out her sweet tongue at Lin Jiangnian, then turned around and trotted away.
Lin Jiangnian stood there and did not pursue him.
I was thinking about whether I should go to my aunt's place to see the paper kites, but after thinking about it, I gave up!
As for what the sisters could be trained by Zhiyuan, Lin Jiangnian didn't really care. It was just a matter of convenience to keep the two of them. Jiang Mansion also happened to be short of a few maids and maids. If there was no problem with them, they could just stay as maids.
As for what my aunt mentioned about being a bed-warming maid...
Let’s talk about it later.
With this in mind, Lin Jiangnian turned around and returned to his room.
When he walked to the door and opened the door, Lin Jiangnian, who had just stepped into the room with one foot, suddenly stopped again.
Lift your eyes.
In the dark room, I couldn't see my fingers.
The faint corridor lights under the eaves of the corridor and the wind and snow outside the door vaguely illuminated a figure in the room.
Vaguely, there was a figure dressed in red, sitting quietly in the room.
She raised her eyes and looked at him expressionlessly.
In the dim environment, that cold face was breathtakingly beautiful.
It almost takes one's breath away!
Lin Jiangnian was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked back outside the corridor.
After making sure that no one was there, he walked into the room. Turn around, close the door, and lock it!
Done in one go!
Then, Lin Jiangnian walked aside and lit the lights.
The oil lamp lit up the room. It also illuminates the fiery figure in red clothes brightly.
"Saint Liu!"
Lin Jiangnian quietly looked at the familiar and beautiful face in front of him, with a slight smile on his face.
"Long time no see!"
