Just as Zhiyu said, even if Xiao Siyuan is a prince, it doesn't matter. When he sets his sights on his own sister, he should also consider his own weight!
Jiang Kang'an's cold eyes moved around, as sharp as a knife.
In just a moment, he suppressed the murderous intent in his eyes and smiled softly at Jiang Zhiyu: "Indeed, he may be a prince, but Su Lan's reputation is more important. He can't be allowed to act so recklessly. If he comes again next time, big brother will definitely kick him out."
Then he turned to look at Jiang Wenjing: "Well, it's getting late. Since you have official business to attend to, you should prepare early and don't let anything go wrong."
Jiang Wenjing looked at him and suddenly remembered what Jiang Zhaorong said in his study that day.
He left home at the age of thirteen and worked hard in the army for three years before he secured the position of general.
He admitted that he was not as talented as his elder brother, but he had not made any major mistakes over the years, and his accumulated military merits were in no way inferior to his elder brother's.
But even so, within a few days after returning home, Jiang Zhaorong proposed to abdicate and let his elder brother take over, just because his eldest brother's leg was cured.
When Jiang Wenjing thought of this, he felt a little depressed.
He was naturally happy that his elder brother's leg was cured, but because of Jiang Zhaorong's words and other people's subtle exaggeration, Jiang Wenjing didn't know how to face Jiang Kang'an for a moment.
He answered yes, stood up and walked out of the yard. Because he was preoccupied with his thoughts, he didn't realize that Jiang Kang'an's gaze lingered on his figure for several seconds.
Jiang Zhiyu saw Jiang Kang'an's eyelashes drooping, casting a half-circle of shadow on his eyelids, and his eyes were unfathomable.
[Big Brother's eyes look as if he has discovered some secret.]
[Could it be…]
Jiang Kangan's breathing stopped.
Let them resolve their relationship between brothers on their own. They are both brothers, so why should they always make their sister worry about them...
[Did he know that his second brother liked stuffed dolls?]
After hearing what Jiang Zhiyu said, Jiang Kangan realized that it was not what he thought. He just breathed a sigh of relief, and then he couldn't help but exclaimed "Ah".
What? !
His brother likes stuffed animals?!
It was rare for him to lose his composure, and he didn't know what expression to use to describe his current mood.
"Brother?"
"No problem," Jiang Kang'an waved his hand. "I just remembered that there are some things I haven't dealt with yet. They are very important. I'll be leaving first. If you have anything, just tell Ah Fu directly."
If something could make the usually calm elder brother so flustered, it must be very serious. Jiang Zhiyu nodded and said, "Do you need my help, elder brother?"
"No need. It's important, but it's not a big deal. I can handle it myself. You should get some rest today." Jiang Kang'an seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help laughing. "The Hanlin Academy has to report every day. Are you sure you can come tomorrow?"
Jiang Zhiyu: “???”
【Rolling the Roll???】
What?
[The Emperor didn't tell me about this?!]
"But forget it. I have to get up early tomorrow to teach them, but I definitely can't get up at 5:00, so 8:00 at the earliest!"
Jiang Kangan chuckled and left.
…
At night, the crescent moon hangs quietly on the treetops, and the stars twinkle brightly in the sky.
There are three layers of patrolling guards inside and outside the imperial prison. There are five people in a team, and they take turns with almost no rest.
The Mobei envoy watched this scene and couldn't help but frown. He lowered his voice and said in Mobei dialect, "Prince, the number of their guards has decreased today. Why don't we wait a few more days until they are off guard? Then we..."
"Wait for nothing!" Torre interrupted him impatiently, his eyes like hawk hooks staring at the guards walking back and forth, with an abnormal bloody red color in his eyes.
The Mobei envoy took a deep breath and tried to reason with him. "Who in Shengjing doesn't know that there were only seven of us when we entered the city? Now that four have been captured, there are only three of us left. If we delay for a few more days, they will surely relax, and our prison break will be much easier than it is now..."
What he said made sense, but Torre was no longer listening. His breathing became heavier with anger, and he said in a gruff voice, "Enough! What's the point of saying this? They've been captured, and we're the only ones left. Do you really think the emperor would still be willing to negotiate with you after seeing the current situation?"
"I think he's already planning to have his minions come and capture us after today. Rather than just waiting there and letting them slaughter us, I must strike first!"
Mobei Envoy: “…”
Logically speaking, those who were arrested were arrested for prison break. If they stayed in the palace, Emperor Tianqi would have to have a reason to arrest them.
He was about to speak when Torre squinted his eyes, his eyes full of murderous intent. "If you're scared, go back on your own. If you want to stay, shut your mouth. If I hear any sound again, don't blame me for being ungrateful."
Coward!
Torre wrinkled his nose slightly and looked away impatiently.
All the words from Mobei World were retorted by him, choked in his throat, and he could only sigh softly.
In front of the Imperial Prison, Jiang Wenjing looked around and asked the guards, "What's going on? Is there anything unusual?"
The guard said, "General, there is nothing unusual."
Jiang Wenjing nodded, took a few steps forward, and bumped into Xing Maozhi.
Xing Maozhi hurried along, and when he saw Jiang Wenjing's expression, he paused. Then he strode forward and said, "General, I'm glad to see you. I heard that the Mobei gang is planning to break into the prison again tonight. Is that true?"
Jiang Wenjing was startled, but a look of confusion crossed his face. "Where did you hear this, Minister Xing? I don't know whether the Mobei people broke into the prison or not. But Minister Xing, don't worry. With so many guards here, even if they really had the guts to break into the prison, they wouldn't be able to get in."
Xing Maozhi looked at him suspiciously, but he looked calm, as if he really didn't know the news. After a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's the best."
Jiang Wenjing nodded, comforted him a few words, and then asked casually, "I wonder where Minister Xing heard the news from. Could it be that there's a spy inside Mobei?"
The corners of his lips curled slightly, and his seemingly playful words made Xing Maozhi relax his vigilance. He shook his head and said, "Maybe it's just a rumor among the guards. The prison has been uneasy these past few days, and the people from Mobei have been frequently trying to break into the prison. They must be just speculating..."
Xing Maozhi said a few perfunctory words and changed the subject: "By the way, where does the general live now? A few days ago, I sent someone to the Xu Mansion to look for the general, but was told that the general did not live in the Xu Mansion..." Xing Maozhi raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that the general went to look for his confidante?"
