Chapter 194 I'll Go With You
Commander Jiang did not rush Cheng Nianying. He waited patiently for her to think it through.
The wind swept across the path.
Just when the stalemate was happening, a few young monks slowly came from not far away. They first said "Huh", obviously they didn't expect that the two of them would stand together again.
Immediately afterwards, the leading young monk quickened his pace and arrived in front of Cheng Nianying in a few steps.
He bowed and then said, "The abbot would like to see the raccoon from yesterday."
Commander Jiang's eyebrows twitched when he heard the voice.
During the journey, Cheng Nianying had a cat in her pocket, and he saw it. He couldn't understand why someone would run away from a pursuer and bring a cat with them.
"It's in Qingcaotang, and Mother Zou is holding it." Cheng Nianying, who had been silent all the time, finally spoke.
The young monk's face lit up with joy, and he was about to step forward.
In his opinion, although hanging it on the cat was a bit of a blasphemy against the relic, it would be much easier to retrieve it!
Several young monks turned around and left in a hurry.
This attitude made Commander Jiang feel even more puzzled. Was a cat so important? Was this the reason why the abbot of the Hanging Temple took such good care of her and even allowed her to bring everyone from the Pei Mansion into the palace?
That's ridiculous.
Commander Jiang turned his head and looked at the bushes not far away. "The two young masters of the Pei Mansion must be tired after standing for so long. There is no need for them to hide from me like this. I won't do anything to them. Just invite them over."
"He's looking at us." Pei Jia gritted his teeth unhappily.
"He is deliberately using this action to threaten Xiaohe." Pei Yi guessed.
Pei Jia was immediately furious when he heard this, and he had to repeat "let's think about it in the long run" twice before he could hold back.
Commander Jiang neither received a response from Cheng Nianying nor waited for Pei Jia and Pei Yi to rush out.
Everything seemed to be at a standstill again.
He showed a helpless look and took something out of his sleeve.
"Don't be so nervous. I'm getting medicine." He spread out his palm, revealing the medicine box on it. "You're injured. You've been away from the building for so long. Do you still have medicine on you? You should use this. Only by using the medicine in the building can your injury heal faster."
Cheng Nianying looked down.
There is a word "天" printed on the medicine box.
That is a special item for Tianzi Pavilion. If others want to get it, they have to exchange it for money.
Commander Jiang placed the medicine box in Cheng Nianying's palm.
This kind of pulling made Pei Jia feel so angry that he started to feel angry.
"When you were pretending to be Qin's daughter, you had no choice but to have physical contact with Fu Yi, right?" Commander Jiang did not straighten up immediately, but lowered his voice.
He then changed the subject, "Maybe he really does like you. For a man, sleeping with someone makes all the difference. Besides, you're so beautiful, and you have a different aura from the noble ladies in the capital."
Cheng Nianying's eyelids moved, and then she continued the conversation with him.
"Not killing me?"
The question was asked abruptly, but Commander Jiang didn't find it strange at all.
She must have been shaken to ask this question.
"Yeah." Commander Jiang responded.
"When you were young, I was angry because you weren't obedient enough and sent you to the outer building. Now I think it's a pity. If you had stayed in Tianzi Pavilion, you would be my right-hand man like Master Ruan today."
"Don't run away," he said. "Come back, and I will wipe out all the mistakes you've made."
Cheng Nianying lowered her head and murmured, "I don't want to be a killer."
"I know. You didn't betray the building. You never told anyone about what happened there. You just didn't want to kill anymore. You were tired of living like this."
"Have you ever been to Tianzi Pavilion? Do you know what kind of life the people there lead? It's completely different."
Cheng Nianying hesitated and continued, "So there's no need to kill anymore? Wasn't Master Ruan also sent out to kill me?"
Her voice was clear and crisp, with a hint of innocence that was unique to her age.
"Do you think anyone can use Master Ruan?" Commander Jiang touched the sword at his waist and asked, "Do you want to meet Master Ruan?"
"He's here?"
"Well, maybe he has already met other people from Pei Mansion."
Cheng Nianying stared at him, frowning slightly.
"He's afraid of monks, you know. He won't act rashly." Commander Jiang started moving again. "Let's go."
Cheng Nianying followed.
The two soon arrived at a Buddhist temple. The people inside had just finished their morning prayers and were slowly walking out.
Only the Master and Madam of the Pei Mansion were left in the Buddhist temple, along with a man who was kneeling on a cushion and kowtowing respectfully. He kowtowed vigorously, repeatedly, with great piety.
...It was Master Ruan.
Cheng Nianying loosened her clenched fingers and turned her head away, saying, "Okay."
The sound was so sudden that Commander Jiang was stunned for a moment, and he was even worried that this girl was up to some trick and was deliberately delaying.
"But..." Cheng Nianying spoke again.
"But what?" Commander Jiang asked.
"Who hired someone to kill me?"
“…”
"It's because someone hired someone to kill me that they noticed me. Otherwise, they wouldn't have found me." Cheng Nianying said firmly, "I need to know who that person is. Otherwise, even if I return to the building, I will feel uneasy."
"...You are so smart." A strange look flashed across Commander Jiang's eyes.
To Shaoqulou, a killer is a consumable.
They have no sense of self and are controlled by those in the building, except for a few who have received special training and have learned to read and write, and even learned the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. But they are not supposed to have brains.
"Indeed, if you weren't smart, how could you dare to act like a fake in the Prince's Mansion?"
He pondered for a moment and said, "I can't say anything about this person."
He wanted to put the blame directly on Fu Yi, but he had just said that Fu Yi had planned three assassinations. Now it was too late to change his words.
"If you can make me feel that it is worth turning against you, I will tell you." Commander Jiang said with a smile.
"Where do you live?" Cheng Nianying asked again.
Commander Jiang's first reaction was, is she so naive as to want to find out my address and assassinate me at night?
"Magnolia Hall," he said.
"I'll go with you."
Commander Jiang was startled, looked at her for a moment, and replied, "Okay."
Cheng Nianying followed him silently into the Magnolia Hall.
In the side room of the west wing of Yulan Hall, Cen Yaoxin heard the noise and instinctively climbed to the window. The moment she saw Cheng Nianying walk in unharmed, following the man, her expression suddenly turned extremely ugly.
Cheng Nianying seemed to have sensed something, glanced towards the ear chamber, and then looked away.
She asked, "You were there when we arrested Dong Xiao and Dong Da, why didn't you let them go?"
"That was in front of Fu Yi." Besides, it didn't matter to him even if the two killers died.
Cheng Nianying lowered her eyes.
Like her, the two Dong brothers didn't know much about the building, so even if they were caught, it wouldn't matter.
Only people like Master Ruan know more.
However, no one knows more than the author of this post.
Commander Jiang suddenly stopped and turned to look at the medicine box tightly held in her hand: "Do you need me to apply medicine for you?"
Cheng Nianying took a half step back, still like a wary little beast.
Commander Jiang felt itchy in his heart and was about to speak again.
The young monks came back, hurriedly looking at Commander Jiang with a strange look, then saluted and said, "That thing... why is it gone?"
"If you put it on the cat, it will move around and be easy to lose." Cheng Nianying turned her head and spoke.
"That……"
"If the abbot wants to see me, I'll bring him over."
"Then please leave now, young lady."
Commander Jiang swallowed his words and touched the sword at his waist with a hint of displeasure. But he didn't say anything to stop them, just watched Cheng Nianying leave with the young monks.
As soon as they left, Cen Yaoxin wheeled out almost immediately. Because she moved too hastily, she even stumbled. She looked up and looked pitiful: "Why? Why did you keep her?"
"Are you questioning me?" Commander Jiang bent down and spoke in a cold tone.
