Hearing this, Jun Mu was shocked and stood there in a daze for a long time. Then his face suddenly became gloomy and his eyes became sharper.
After some reminders, he also understood the meaning of Ji Feng's words. He was simply afraid that Mr. Shen would go to someone else in order to protect his fiancée.
Now Mr. Shen and the young master of the Zhou family both have feelings for Miss Ning. If his third brother forcibly traps Miss Ning in the backyard and threatens her life, there is no guarantee that the two will not obediently do his bidding.
However, it was a well-known fact in Rongping County that the girl from the Ning family was already engaged.
If Jun Yan acted rashly, and outsiders knew that a prince had snatched a wife from a scholar and ruined someone's engagement, it would inevitably become a topic of gossip, and his father would surely scold him when he found out.
Now that the issue of establishing a crown prince is approaching, he certainly would not do anything that would tarnish his reputation in a high-profile manner.
But if he wants to muddy the waters and not give a penny, he will probably use some inferior methods, such as looking for a breakthrough through Miss Ning.
If he succeeds, he will most likely get financial support from both the Ning and Zhou families.
Jun Mu thought for a while, then helped Ji Fengxu, who was half-kneeling on the ground and hadn't gotten up yet, to his feet. "Don't be nervous, I have a plan for dealing with it."
"Send snow."
As a shout came down, a man in black who looked like Ji Feng appeared in front of Jun Mu. Like Ji Feng just now, he half-knelt on the ground with a respectful attitude.
"Your Highness, you can't!" Before Jun Mu could give his orders, Ji Feng, knowing Jun Mu's intention, knelt on the ground again and said seriously:
"The four of us brothers are His Highness's personal guards. His Highness has already left Jiyue to Mr. Shen. If he leaves Jixue behind, His Highness will be in even greater danger."
Although the master has arrived in the land of the southern barbarians, there are still people who have murderous intentions. They have sent people to take the master's life several times, hoping to take advantage of the situation, put the blame on the barbarians, and take the opportunity to provoke a war.
Those soldiers guarding the pass kept saying that they would strengthen the guard, but they didn't take it seriously. They just said some polite words and did some superficial work. It was really disgusting.
If the master hadn't had a few of them around him, he would have been bullied by those naive guys.
Now, His Highness wants to send Jixue out because of this matter. There is no one around His Highness, and he is afraid that he and Jixue will make mistakes. If a big mistake is made, he and Jixue will be cut into pieces and it will not be a pity to die.
"No need to say more." Jun Mu interrupted Ji Feng, "It is precisely because you four have been following me since childhood that I can trust you and feel at ease leaving you in Rongping County."
"This matter is of great importance. Since Mr. Shen has chosen me, I must let him know that his choice is not wrong, so that he can assist me with peace of mind."
"What's more, if we don't act this way, once my third brother really attacks Miss Ning and uses this to threaten Mr. Shen, it will be detrimental to our plan."
Hearing his master say this, Ji Feng dared not say anything more. He frowned, clenched his hands, and stepped aside.
Seeing that Ji Feng no longer stopped him, Jun Mu looked at Ji Xue in front of him and said,
"Today you will set off for the Ning Mansion in Rongping County and guard the young lady of the Ning family and ensure her safety."
Jun Mu said this, and sneered again: "My third brother certainly wouldn't dare to act so blatantly. I'm afraid he would use Miss Ning's innocence to make trouble."
"No matter what kind of banquet Miss Ning attends these days, you must stay by her side and don't give Jun Yan and the others any chance to take advantage of her."
"I obey your orders."
After listening to Jun Mu's instructions, Ji Xue did not hesitate at all. She quickly stood up and did not dare to waste even a moment. She used her lightness skills and went straight to Rongping County.
