Qiu He followed behind her, and Xia Yun jumped and skipped, picking a flower from time to time, smiling: "Sister Qiu He, look, this one is blooming so fragrant, ask."
"...Silly, the peach blossoms are in full bloom right now, how could they not smell so good? Don't get too close, it's so fragrant it makes you dizzy."
Jiang Ling took her two younger brothers and walked towards the river.
Jiang Sheng took out his fishing line, put on some bait, and said proudly, "How about giving it a try? Whoever catches the most fish can have grilled fish for lunch."
"That's fine, but I have to go meet some friends and write some poems, so I'm afraid I won't have time to fish."
"Okay, then, second brother, you can sit down and fish when you have time."
Jiang Ziang waved his hands repeatedly and took two steps back to resist: "No, I also saw a few close friends, so of course I have to go and talk to them. San'er, you should go fishing by yourself."
“If you feel lonely, you can let the green mountains and trees accompany you fishing.”
After saying that, he winked at his brother, and the two of them turned around and left quickly, leaving Jiang Sheng standing alone by the river, his hair disheveled in the cold wind.
Jiang Sheng looked at their backs and gritted his teeth: "Humph, forget it if you don't want to accompany me fishing. The three of us will fish, and we can eat it after we finish. Don't give it to the eldest brother and the second brother."
Qingshan: "Hey, okay little sir."
Aoki: ...With the martial arts skills of those two, if you really want it, there is no way the young master can snatch it from them.
Looking at the two people happily fishing, he decided not to say anything, so as not to spoil his young master's mood.
A stick of incense passed.
Two incense sticks passed.
Qingshan said cheerfully, "Hey, another one! I'm really lucky today. How many have you caught, sir?"
Jiang Sheng looked down at the wooden barrel. It was clear as day. He pulled the corners of his mouth and said stubbornly, "I will definitely catch it soon. Qingshan, don't be so proud."
"It's not just me who didn't catch anything, Aoki didn't either..."
Before he could finish his words, he felt water splashing on his face. A big fish weighing three or four pounds came up and landed on the ground, flapping its tail.
Seeing this, Qingshan came over with a look of surprise on his face: "Qingmu, you have a cold face, but I didn't expect you to be so lucky and catch the biggest one."
Aoki hummed coldly: "Just fishing casually."
The two men sensed the resentful gaze behind them, and their bodies froze when they looked at each other. Oh no, they forgot that their master didn't catch any fish, not even a single one.
Sure enough, the next moment, a mournful voice was heard.
"Humph, you two are very proud of yourself, aren't you? Why don't you come over and fish quickly? I must be in the wrong place. Qingshan, let's switch."
Qingshan turned around and smiled flatteringly: "Master is right, you must have chosen the wrong spot. I will trade places with you, and you will definitely be able to catch the biggest one."
Jiang Sheng: "...Change now!"

Seeing her curious look, Jiang Xinrou raised her hand to touch her head and said softly, "Go play with the people you know. I'll be fine by myself."
"Xia Yun, you go with the young lady."
"Yes, miss."
Qiu He followed beside them. The master and servant walked a little further away. Looking at the bamboo forest not far away, he smiled and said, "Qiu He, look, there is a bamboo forest over there. The scenery here is so beautiful."
Jiang Xinrou walked towards the bamboo forest. A gust of wind blew, bringing with it a faint smell of blood, and she subconsciously paused.
"What's wrong, miss? Why don't you go over and take a look?"
"No, we don't know how big the bamboo forest is. It would be bad if we got lost. Let's go find other people to see the peach blossoms."
Qiu He looked back and saw a black shadow flash by. He frowned and wondered if he had seen it wrong.
Jiang Xinrou took her hand and lowered her voice: "Keep walking, don't look back, let's walk faster."
A scream was heard from somewhere. Everyone stopped and looked towards the bamboo forest.
Jiang Ling and Jiang Ziang turned around, flew up with luck, and rushed towards the bamboo forest. A fight soon broke out, and murderous aura spread in the bamboo forest.
Dozens of men in black rushed towards Jiang Baichuan, each move aimed at the fatal spot, clearly intending to kill him.
Jiang Baichuan didn't bring many people with him to the peach blossom forest.
It was a little difficult to resist for the time being. Other people who were watching the peach blossoms came over and hid in the dark to observe. A group of tall and strong people came from nowhere and rushed towards the man in black.
In less than a moment, all the men in black were killed. Another group of people took off their masks and knelt down in front of Jiang Baichuan. They were very respectful and muttered something.
After everyone understood, they were all stunned: "Those are... Huns, not from the enemy country, so why would they protect the general?"
Jiang Ling sensed something was wrong and his eyes flashed: "Dad has fallen into a trap, kill them quickly!"
Jiang Baichuan also felt that something was wrong. The two sides started fighting. Soon they were surrounded by officers and soldiers, and then they realized that something was wrong.
Without the emperor's permission, the Xiongnu would never have been able to reach the capital...
Several people were taken away. When Jiang Sheng ran over, he saw this scene and rushed out to stop them: "Master Wu, what is your intention? Why are you taking my father away?"
Wu Yong glanced at them indifferently and said in a cold voice, "Since the Xiongnu have appeared here, they must be taken back for interrogation. As for the general, he must also go and explain the matter clearly."
"With so many people watching, we can't just ignore it."
Jiang Ling winked and said, "Don't worry, San'er, go find grandma directly and bring the Jiang family back to the Marquis' Mansion and wait for us to come home."
Jiang Sheng looked at him worriedly, feeling that the appearance of the court people was too coincidental, as if someone had arranged it. Could it be... the work of that person?
"Don't worry, brother. I know."
The Hun looked over with meaningful eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he silently uttered a few words: The Jiang family must die!
Jiang Sheng rubbed his fingers and looked at him with a frown.
After the people walked away, he turned back to the peach blossom forest, brought them back to the general's mansion, and rushed directly to the old lady's backyard.
"Grandma is in trouble..."
The old lady looked up and said in surprise, "We are not going to the peach blossom forest to see the peach blossoms. What could have happened? Where are your father and brothers?"
Jiang Sheng briefly explained the matter and frowned, "Grandma, I think this matter is related to that person. Is he crazy? What exactly is he going to do?"
"Military power, he wants the Jiang family to voluntarily hand over the military power."
"...Grandma, what should we do now?"
"Wait, send someone to check the prison. If anyone is planning to lynch me, I will naturally go to the palace."
The old lady said in a deep voice, "Third son, do you know why we didn't take you away? Because you pose no threat to the emperor. But if your brothers were healthy, how could the emperor sleep peacefully?"
"This time, your father and brothers will probably have to suffer before they can get out. As long as they pose no threat to the emperor, he will let the Jiang family go to the Northern Wasteland."
"Hey, your brother said he would wait before, but he didn't expect that person to be so impatient. All we can do is to prevent them from getting hurt too badly."
Jiang Sheng clenched his fists. He didn't expect the emperor to be so shameless.
"Grandmother, he's not worthy of being an emperor. Killing him is truly abhorrent. What did the Jiang family do to him that made them treat us like this?"
