The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Chapter 136 How to repay a favor

Jiang Li and Xie Lan returned to their respective courtyards after returning to the mansion. Jiang Li returned to Xiangya Garden and sat there drinking tea, thinking about what Shi Liu had just said to her.

It turned out that Liu Jiaojiao's cousin was sent back to his hometown by Minister Liu when he offended her. Unexpectedly, his concubine actually hid him in the manor. This made Jiang Li suspicious. Did the concubine have some ulterior motive? Or did she have any special feelings for Jin Cheng? These questions lingered in Jiang Li's mind, but she did not delve into them.

As for Jin Cheng's words about dealing with her later, she didn't take it seriously. She didn't care about such a stupid person. After all, she had experienced too many ups and downs, and didn't care about the threats of such a small character. She believed that she had enough ability to deal with various challenges, and she had Shi Liu by her side. Thinking of this, Jiang Li's mouth corners slightly raised, and her heart was full of confidence.

Speaking of pomegranates, Jiang Li thought of the secret guards of the Regent's Palace. This time, they helped a lot, and Jiang Li was grateful. However, this also meant that she owed the prince a big favor. She couldn't help but start thinking, when the prince comes back, how should she repay this favor?

Although her father had said that he would come to thank the regent in person after he returned, Jiang Li always had a feeling that even if she did not ask the secret guards for help, they might still help. After all, Shi Liu had told her that among those who followed her eldest brother to Jiangnan were the secret guards of the palace.

This made Jiang Li wonder, why would the Regent take such good care of her? Was it just because of the deal between them? Or was there some other deeper reason? She really couldn't figure it out. However, no matter what, she was determined to find an opportunity to repay the prince's kindness.

If Mu Jiuchen heard this, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood, wondering why this little girl is still so slow?

Although Mu Jiuchen was far away in the northern border, he was well-informed. He learned the news the day after Jiang Xing's accident. However, he was in Liujia Village at the time, where there was a group of enemy spies who were hiding very deeply and needed to be dealt with. After many difficult investigations, they finally determined the identities of these people and formulated a strict plan.

That night, Mu Jiuchen, Jiang Ying and two capable generals secretly rushed to Liujia Village. Under the cover of darkness, they successfully captured all the spies in the village. Afterwards, they escorted the spies back to the border town without stopping and started interrogation overnight.

At the same time, when Mu Jiuchen learned that Jiang Xing was in danger, he did not tell Jiang Ying. Instead, he quickly issued several emergency orders, requiring the Dark Guard Battalion and the Dark Night Division to work closely together to search for Jiang Xing's whereabouts.

He called Jiang Ying over after the interrogation was finished. This was not the first time Jiang Ying came to the prince's house, because this time they solved a conspiracy in advance. He happily came to the study room. Changfeng and Changyun stood at the door of the study room, looking at Jiang Ying with a happy face, hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong, Brother Changfeng?" Jiang Ying looked at Changfeng with some confusion.

"It's okay! General and Prince Jiang have something urgent to discuss with you. Please go in quickly." Changyun held Changfeng and said to Jiang Bu with a serious face.

Although Jiang Ying has a cheerful personality, he is still quite sensitive. The prince has just led them to capture a spy from the enemy country. What urgent matter is there this time? He knocked on the door and went in.

"Prince, are you looking for me?" Jiang Ying asked puzzledly.

Mu Jiuchen sat at the desk with a serious look on his face, as if he was thinking about something important. He raised his head, glanced at Jiang Ying, then stood up and walked to the window.

"I just received news that Jiang Xing has been missing for several days, and Xie Ci was seriously injured and has returned to the capital to report." Mu Jiuchen's voice was low and serious.

Jiang Ying's heart was shaken, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face: "What? My eldest brother is missing? How is this possible?"

Mu Jiuchen turned around and looked at Jiang Ying: "I have sent people to look for his whereabouts, but there are no clues yet, and your third brother has also gone to Huizhou to search."

Jiang Ying's face turned very ugly. He clenched his fists, and a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes: "Prince, I..." I want to go back to Beijing... Jiang Ying didn't say these words out loud. Now there were frequent provocations from the Jin Kingdom on the border, and he couldn't leave at the moment.

Mu Jiuchen nodded slightly: "This king understands your feelings, but the border is also in trouble right now, you can't act rashly."

Jiang Ying took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "Your Majesty is right, I will follow your arrangements."

Mu Jiuchen walked to the desk and sat down, picked up a piece of paper and began to write: "We must strengthen monitoring of the border areas to prevent the enemy from taking the opportunity to invade. If there is any news, I will inform you as soon as possible."

Jiang Ying nodded: "Okay, I will follow the prince's arrangements.

Mu Jiuchen patted Jiang Ying on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead. I hope An Yi can find Jiang Xing as soon as possible."

Jiang Ying turned and left the study, his heart full of worry and anxiety. He prayed secretly that Brother An would find his elder brother and ensure his safety.

Jiang Ying went back to his room and wrote two letters. One letter was sent to the capital, where he asked his sister to take care of his father and mother at home. He couldn't go back now, so he could only comfort Li'er through letters. The other letter was sent to Liweilou in Huizhou. He thought that if his third brother went to Huizhou, he would definitely stay in Liweilou. He asked his third brother to tell him as soon as possible if he had any news.

The next day, the two letters were sent out through the prince's channel.
