Chapter 12
Jiang Mingyan's eyes were cold, and his gaze paused for a moment on the flower tree in the yard, which was surrounded by a faint golden light and swaying gently in the flames, and then he quickly closed the door.
He turned back to the bed and picked out a dark blue robe from the box that belonged to the little fat boy. He put the box into the Lan Qiuying bracelet and then turned around and picked up the little fat boy from the quilt. The little fat boy had his black round eyes open and was as obedient as a snow doll. He put the robe on the little fat boy with gentle force but clean and neat movements.
Then, he found a set of black tights and quickly dressed himself. He took out a piece of soft cloth and tore it into long, strong strips while asking the little guy, "Sui Sui, can you put Tao Tao away? Or make Tao Tao smaller?"
Jiang Zhenyu, the head of the Jiang family, has a fourth-grade spirit beast whose strength is equivalent to that of a mid-stage Jindan cultivator. It helps him a lot, so the Jiang family is particularly fond of spirit beasts.
Most of the descendants of the main branch of the Jiang family would beg their elders to catch or buy a good-looking young spirit beast, and carefully raise it from a young age in the hope that it would be helpful in the future.
Jiang Mingyan, however, had never had a spirit beast.
Jiang Qizhuo once asked Jiang Mingyan if he wanted a spirit beast to accompany him, but Jiang Mingyan thought about it and refused.
He doesn't care about those.
Jiang Mingyan has been taught by Jiang Qizhuo since he was a child, and Jiang Qizhuo has always believed that as a sword cultivator, one's own strength is the real foundation of his life.
Jiang Mingyan was deeply influenced by Jiang Qizhuo, and naturally had the same ideas as Jiang Qizhuo.
Although Jiang Mingyan did not raise spiritual beasts, he was in the Jiang Mansion after all, so he would inevitably come into contact with spiritual beasts.
Therefore, he has a deep understanding of spiritual beasts.
Although spiritual plants and spiritual beasts are different, they can be applied to each other. Since spiritual beasts can change their shape and be put into spiritual beast bags to be carried around, spiritual plants can also do the same.
However, while Jiang Mingyan was asking the little fat boy, he couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart.
Even though the little fat boy nodded repeatedly after hearing his question, it couldn't dispel the worries in his heart.
Spiritual plants are not like spiritual beasts.
Compared with spiritual beasts, spiritual plants find it more difficult to respond to human language. Now Sui Sui is too young, and I don’t know if it can correctly understand and command the Green Leaf Hypericum.
Although his mind was racing, Jiang Mingyan's hands never stopped moving.
He held up the little guy with one hand and used the other hand to wrap the two of them tightly together with a strip of cloth.
After finishing, he took some soft cloth and padded it into the place where the little guy was wrapped around by the cloth strip, tested the tightness, and then tied the cloth strip, thus fixing the little guy on his chest.
Although Jiang Mingyan only glanced at the flames outside, he recognized that they were the flames produced by the Fire Talisman. Compared with ordinary flames, their temperature was higher and they were more violent and difficult to extinguish.
The arsonist was determined to kill them.
The second-grade spiritual plant, Hypericum virginianum, can still hold on for a while, but the other things in the room cannot.
Fortunately, he had made preparations a few days ago and had put the important things into the Lanqiuying bracelet and the Jiuchunzhan bracelet early on, so Jiang Mingyan did not waste time going to other rooms.
The little guy who was lying obediently on his brother's chest had a serious face since Jiang Mingyan finished speaking.
He is communicating with Hypericum odoratum.
The little guy has discovered it and he has become much smarter!
It was clear that he still had some understanding of what his brother said before going to bed, but after waking up, his language system was still lagging behind for a while, but he had no problem understanding it.
That round, fat seed is good!
The little guy thought very seriously.
Hypericum virginianum is still far from developing intelligence and becoming a demon. It only has a vague consciousness and naturally approaches Jiang Suiyan, who exudes an aura that makes it both familiar and awed.
After signing the contract with Jiang Sui Yan, it became even more sincere towards the cub and would do whatever the cub asked.
At this time, the little cub wanted to make it smaller so that it could be carried around, so it waved its branches and tried to shrink into a peach sapling.
Through the scenes fed back by Hypericum virginianum, Sui Sui "saw" a completely different world.
He looked at it again and again with some curiosity, but finally looked away reluctantly.
Suisui knew that his brother was still waiting for him!
So, Sui Sui looked up at her brother and said in a baby voice, "Brother!"
"Taotao, it's done."
The green-leaved Hypericum has obediently grown smaller.
Isn’t Sui Sui awesome!
Even at this critical moment, Jiang Mingyan was amused by the little fat boy. He lowered his head and gently rubbed the little fat boy's tender forehead as if to praise him.
“Sui Sui is great.”
The little guy has curved eyebrows and looks extremely happy.
After relaxing for a moment, Jiang Mingyan looked up at the courtyard again, and the color in his phoenix eyes was still calm and composed.
He opened the door, and a faint light shone on his body, protecting him and the little fat boy.
The scorching heat wave hit him in the face, but Jiang Mingyan remained calm as he rushed into the yard quickly. He was highly focused and quickly scanned the yard. He picked up the green-leafed Hypericum, which was now only the size of a palm, and handed it to the little guy who was stretching out his fat paws to reach it, then ran straight to the side of the yard wall.
The sudden blaze was caused by the Fire Talisman. Considering the sinister look on Jiang Ruke's face when he left, Jiang Mingyan had a guess in his mind.
Since Jiang Ruke has already decided to burn them to death, there must be no future troubles. I think there should be people guarding everywhere outside.
The courtyard gate is definitely the most important place, and it probably has the largest number of servants guarding it. Jiang Mingyan cannot waste too much time, so he chose the side wall and prepared to climb over it to escape.
But when he got close to the side wall, Jiang Mingyan realized that he had guessed wrong.
There was a layer of shimmering light on the courtyard wall, which was inconspicuous against the backdrop of the blazing flames.
Jiang Mingyan was so focused on maintaining the protective aura on his body and guarding against the burning flames that he ignored this abnormality.
He looked at the flowing light on the courtyard wall with a cold expression.
——Draw a prison symbol on the ground.
Jiang Ruke was actually willing to give it up.
Although the Drawing Ground as a Prison Talisman and the Fiery Fire Talisman are both second-grade talismans, one is a rare special talisman and the other is just an attack talisman, and their values are very different.
I'm afraid he has lost all his family fortune because of this assassination.
Jiang Mingyan's phoenix eyes were filled with ice, his left hand was protecting the cub in his arms, his right hand was holding a sword, and the spiritual power in his body was rapidly rotating.
"Ah!" At this time, the little cub babbled and stretched out his little hands.
Jiang Mingyan was stunned.
The palm-sized peach sapling sensed the little cub's thoughts, and one of its branches continued to grow longer until it reached the courtyard wall.
Just now, Suisui was nestled in her brother's arms, but her big, bright black eyes never stopped moving, and she kept looking around with her little head tilted.
The brother suddenly stopped, and Sui Sui felt the body pressed against him tense.
In an instant, Suisui realized something.
He hurriedly raised the Hypericum jewelii in his paws.
Taotao, you can help your brother!
Jiang Mingyan watched as the peach sapling glowed with golden light. The extended branch was like a sharp sword, and in a moment, it had poked a hole in the courtyard wall.
As the branches continued to move, the pit became bigger and deeper, and soon it was broken through.
When the hole in the courtyard wall was half a person's height, the peach sapling wilted and retracted its branches.
Suisui imitated the way his brother touched his hair and gently rubbed the crown of the peach sapling.
The peach sapling shook happily.
Jiang Mingyan looked at the interaction between the cub in his arms and the peach sapling, his eyes softening.
He leaned over and nimbly slipped out of the big hole in the courtyard wall, then dodged into the shadow of the woods nearby and looked around vigilantly.
When Sui Sui saw this, he blinked his black round eyes, then gently patted the peach sapling, and the sapling obediently darkened.
Jiang Mingyan felt that the little fat boy's behavior was almost synchronized with his, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
He looked around and didn't see any other figures, so he carefully walked along the shadows towards the other side of Jiang Mansion.
He did not choose the small door he often used these days, for fear of being blocked.
Fortunately, the Jiang Mansion has many servants and there are several inconspicuous small doors like this, so there is no need to worry about how to leave the mansion.
Jiang Mingyan and Suisui successfully left the Jiang Mansion. In a courtyard separated from the blazing courtyard by layers of high walls, Jiang Ruke angrily kicked over a stool and said, "The prison talisman has been broken!"
Jiang Mingyan and that brat escaped again!
Jiang Ruke was filled with hatred.
He used two second-grade talismans this time and thought he had a sure win, but he didn't expect that he still failed to kill Jiang Mingyan and the brat.
He had caused quite a stir tonight. Although everyone knew it and even secretly helped him, when it came time to question him tomorrow...
Jiang Ruke sneered, they must kill him.
Especially his good cousin, who clearly hated Jiang Mingyan who had been suppressing him for many years, but he pretended to be indifferent.
Jiang Ruheng, I wonder what expression you will have when you see Jiang Mingyan still alive tomorrow?
Thinking of this, Jiang Ruke was no longer impatient.
He waved to the guards who were waiting for instructions: "Let's leave it at that for now."
He smiled grimly: "Let's talk about it tomorrow after seeing my good cousin's expression."
Let Jiang Mingyan and that brat go free for a while. As long as they are still in Wu'an City, it will be easy for him to kill them, right?
Thinking of this, Jiang Ruke prepared to rest.
There is another good show to watch tomorrow.
·
Jiang Mingyan didn't know that because of Jiang Ruke's selfishness, they accidentally got a chance to breathe for a night.
He just left Jiang's house and immediately hid in the dark.
He and Sui Sui were protected by spiritual light. Although the light was weak, it was still useful. At least their clothes were intact and were not burned by the sparks.
Therefore, he untied the cloth strips tied around him and Sui Sui, put the cloth strips into Lan Qiuying bracelet, and after adjusting his expression, he could quickly blend into the crowd without looking too unusual.
There is no curfew in Wu'an City. The streets are brightly lit at night and people are coming and going. After walking along the long, crowded and bustling street for a while, you can see the towering city walls.
The city gates were wide open, and the soldiers guarding the gates gathered nearby to play cards. Passersby would just raise their eyelids and take a quick glance before leaving.
Jiang Mingyan held the little fat baby in his arms and walked over naturally.
The soldiers seemed to be playing cards at a critical moment. They didn't even raise their eyelids and were just having fun.
But there was a younger soldier among them who was not playing cards. He was leaning against the city wall and was drowsy. When he heard footsteps, he looked over lazily. The moment he saw Jiang Mingyan's face clearly, his expression changed slightly.
Jiang Mingyan was worried.
He also wanted to disguise himself, but firstly, he had never learned the knowledge in this area and had no tools, so it was inevitable that he would pale in comparison if he really did it. Secondly, he thought that although he was once known as a genius of the Jiang family, he seldom appeared as often as Jiang Ruke, Jiang Ruheng and other main branch disciples. Not to mention Suisui, who was still a wobbly cub when he walked. How could it be such a coincidence that he was recognized by someone?
Besides, it doesn't matter if they are recognized. The Jiang family still has to maintain the appearance of a noble family. It is impossible for them to be placed under house arrest openly. It's okay for them to go out of town for a walk, right?
With his thoughts in a mess, Jiang Mingyan stared at the young soldier closely, with a cold light flashing in his phoenix eyes.
