Jiang Shang closed his eyes, frowned and made a painful decision. He reached out and pinched Man Miao's face, "I'll come find you when I go."
Manmiao showed a look of astonishment, as if she didn't believe Jiang Shang would give up on herself for Chu Xiner.
When Jiang Shang walked towards Chu Yue'er's room, he turned around gracefully and silently, and met Chu Yue'er's painful but provocative eyes that refused to admit defeat.
She sighed, shook her head, walked back to the room, dismissed the maid, sat at the table, and waited quietly for Jiang Shang to come over. After the silent confrontation before, the defeated Manmei and Jiang Shang
Shang will definitely come to comfort you.
Originally, she was taking a bit of luck, hoping that she was wrong, hoping that she was overthinking and that Jiang Shang only cared about her cousin instead of getting entangled with his ex-girlfriend.
But now it seems that it's time to wake up from her dream.
There was no quarrel between Jiang Shang and Chu Yue'er. She vaguely heard Chu Yue'er say a few words quickly and hurriedly, and then there was no sound again. After a while, Chu Yue'er's suppressed crying could be heard.
Manmei walked to the window and quietly opened a crack. There was a light on Chu Yue'er's side, but she couldn't hear any movement. No one was standing by the window or door, and no one could see any movement.
She was thinking about what Jiang Shang would say when he came to find her, and how he could ask for the truth, whether to go straight to the point, or to ask tactfully.
Suddenly, someone anxiously knocked on the door of the courtyard. The guard asked a few questions and quickly called Yu Han. Yu Han also listened to a few words, walked quickly to Chu Yue'er's door, knocked on the door vigorously, and said
He shouted from inside, "Jiang Shang, come out quickly! The young master of the Wu family has been assassinated."
The young master of the Wu family is Chu Xiner’s husband!
Jiang Shang opened the door fiercely, and Manmei could clearly see the difference on his face. Her voice was full of doubts, "Wu Yong is dead?"
Come to think of it, Wu Yong is the name of the young master of the Wu family. As expected, he is a man as his name suggests, without courage or strategy.
Manmei thought about the consequences of the death of the young master of the Wu family, and her heart suddenly sank.
When the young master of the Wu family dies, Xiao Wu and Liu can remarry, and Chu Xiner, as a concubine, has no worries. With the power of the Jiang family, it is easy to bring her back.
There is a big difference between being widowed and divorced.
"Not dead, but almost there. He was seriously injured." Yu Han said a few words simply. Maybe he didn't know more about the situation.
Jiang Shang walked out of the room directly and walked towards the courtyard door. He stopped and walked towards Man Miao's room. Man Miao took a few steps back. After Jiang Shang knocked on the door, she went over and opened the door. Jiang Shang said something
Apologizing, "There's an emergency. The young master of the Wu family has been assassinated. We have to rush over to see the situation."
Manmei nodded obediently and asked with a worried look, "Is he the Mr. Wu who is Chu Xiner's husband? Is the Wu family so chaotic? If so, it would be better to take Chu Xiner into our courtyard.
There is no one to take care of you at Wu’s house.”
Jiang Shang forced a smile and said, "We'll talk about her later. I'm going to check on the situation of the Wu family now."
Manmiao adjusted his collar. He probably walked too fast, so the collar was a little crooked. There were still some water stains on the breast of his coat, "Be careful."
A trace of uneasiness and guilt flashed across Jiang Shang's expression, "I will leave some guards for you. I heard that Wu Yong was suddenly attacked."
Manmiao shook her head and said seriously, "In this case, you should bring some guards. I am a powerless woman, who will mess with me? Besides, after the lesson learned last time, the Deng family will not come again.
Okay, bring more guards with you so that if there are assassins, you can easily deal with them."
Jiang Shang finally left a few guards behind, and he and Yu Han left in a hurry.
Manmei watched him leave. From the corner of her eyes, she saw Chu Yue'er standing at the door, watching like her, but with tears on her face. When she noticed Manmei looking at her, she slammed the door angrily.
I feel that her actions are meaningless and childish. What is needed at this time is not to lose temper, but to find a solution. Chu Yuer is really a typical person who cannot support the wall.
Thinking that Jiang Shang would not come back tonight, she could only send the maid to go back to bed, close the door herself, and plan to think about what to do in the future.
Just after closing the door, when he turned around, he saw a strong figure appearing in front of him. Before he could call anyone, his mouth was covered.
She took a closer look and found out that it was the Terminator Deng Yanshuo. With his instantly recognizable figure and mask, she knew at a glance that it would be difficult for someone to impersonate him. Manmei was relieved when she discovered that the intruder was Deng Yanshuo.
Deng Yanshuo probably wouldn't kill her. If he wanted to kill her, he could just knock her out with one fist, so why bother covering her mouth?
She complained to Deng Yanshuo and signaled him with her eyes that she had calmed down and would not yell randomly. Only then did Deng Yanshuo take back his hand and stand beside her.
There was some blood on his body. She hurriedly took a closer look and found that it was stained, not the blood from his injury. Then she breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the stool, raised her head and asked him quietly, "That Wu family
Master, did you do this?"
Deng Yanshuo nodded simply, with a very angry look in his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, Manmei raised his index finger to his lips, making a 'shh' gesture, and pointed the other finger at the door, signaling him to go outside.
There are others who speak in a lower voice.
Deng Yanshuo's voice was very hoarse and broken, and he could easily be noticed as soon as he spoke. He thought for a moment, walked to the table, dipped his hand in tea, and wrote on the table: It's me.
Manmei thought that as soon as he killed someone, he would come to find her instead of hiding in the cave by the sea. The young master of the Wu family was still the one who killed him. She looked at Deng Yanshuo directly and asked, "Is it because of me?"
Deng Yanshuo nodded and continued to write: He wants to influence you.
Thinking of the Wu family's wild fight with his concubine in the woods, Man Miao felt a wave of nausea in her heart. She suppressed the anger in her heart and said, "How did you know? Who did he tell it to?"
Deng Yanshuo glanced at her and wrote two words on the table firmly and seriously: Jiang Shang.
Manmiao first glanced at Deng Yanshuo angrily, and found that the eyes under Deng Yanshuo's mask were very serious.
He curled his lips angrily and moved his gaze to the oil lamp in the room. After taking a few deep breaths, he suppressed the anger in his heart and asked calmly and quietly, "What did Wu Yong and Jiang Shang say? What did you say?"
Tell me, don’t hide it from me."
Compared with other people in Laizhou, Deng Yanshuo's mind is much simpler.
He probably had a vague fondness for Manmiao, but it was not the kind of possessive desire to possess her. After he kidnapped Manmiao, Manmiao said that she and Jiang Shang were in love, and he was willing to fulfill them.
Now that he discovered that the person Manmiao liked was not devoted to Manmiao, Deng Yanshuo became angry and killed Wu Yong, who was not good at martial arts.
It is very likely that he also wanted to kill Jiang Shang, but Jiang Shang's martial arts was far better than Wu Yong, and Deng Yanshuo was not sure that he could kill him, so he came to tell Man Miao.
Deng Yanshuo wrote quickly on the table: Jiang Shang and Wu Yong have an old concubine. Wu Yong used this to blackmail Jiang Shang and give you to him, otherwise Jiang Shang's scandal will be publicized.
Manmiao looked at the words on the table, thought about it, and asked Deng Yanshuo, "Is Jiang Shang planning to run for the alliance leader in this martial arts conference?"
The situation in the country of Yue is very special. The aristocratic families are maintained by loose alliances, and the aristocratic families rely on the various gangs they control to maintain their rule over the controlled areas. For example, the Jiang family in Jiangzuo relies on Jiang Shang's Piaomiaolou.
The sects are all responsible for recruiting private soldiers and doing shameful things, such as selling private salt, smuggling weapons, etc. The Lord of the City of the Jiang Family naturally shows up for good deeds. Other sects are also inextricably linked with various aristocratic families.
.
When you become the leader of a martial arts alliance, no matter whether anyone actually listens to the orders, at least in name, you have a great cause, and you have a lot of room for maneuver.
The leader of the martial arts alliance is said to be able to rule the martial arts world, but his actual role is to balance the relationship between the major families and strive for the greatest benefits for his family as much as possible.
This name may be important or insignificant, the key is how you use it and whether you have the ability to use it well.
There is almost no court in Yue State. No one listens to the government orders once they are issued by the government. If you want to implement various policies and the like, it is impossible to do so without the approval of the local aristocratic families. When it comes to sending troops and money together,
, all the major aristocratic families are bargaining together, rather than the imperial court, it is more like a doormat between the major aristocratic families.
For a large family like the Jiang family, one of the best in the country, Jiang Shangneng's becoming the leader of the martial arts alliance is a very good opportunity to expand the family's influence.
The Jiang family attaches great importance to this opportunity, and so does Jiang Shang.
Who among the young people doesn’t want to become famous? This is especially true for Jiang Shang, who is the son of an aristocratic family. His family is already so powerful and they just need to go to the next level.
If he, as the most outstanding young man of the Jiang family, has brought the family to glory, it is obvious that this temptation is irresistible to him.
What's more, there is still grace by his side, lying drunk on the lap of a beautiful woman, waking up and taking over the world. For a man, is there a better future than this?
After thinking about this, she turned around and asked, "Did Jiang Shang agree?"
Deng Yanshuo shook his head. Before Manmei could breathe a sigh of relief, she saw him writing on the table: He said he would consider it.
Based on Manmiao's understanding of Jiang Shang, he was very decisive when he should be decisive. He once killed all the assassins of the Lan Kingdom who kidnapped Manmiao. From Lan Ting's words, it can be inferred that Jiang Shang is in charge of
Piaomiaolou doesn't rely entirely on good temper.
Just from the fact that he dared to go against someone like Lan Ting, but Lan Ting was helpless towards him, we can see that Jiang Shang is definitely not someone who can be threatened so easily.
She pondered for a moment, then tapped her fingertips on the table, shook her head and said, "If you don't take action, Jiang Shang will kill Wu Yong. Not because of me, but because someone threatens him."
