The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Chapter 39: Take the Jade Pendant

Jiang Li very tactfully took Chuntao and Shiliu away, leaving the entire room to Mu Jiuchen and Changfeng.

"Go on." Mu Jiuchen's cold and clear voice made Changfeng feel afraid, but the situation was urgent and he had no choice but to lower his voice and report to Mu Jiuchen: "Your Majesty, there seems to be unusual movements in the northern border area, and the Jin royal family can't hold back and is ready to move."

Changfeng looked solemn as he spoke, knowing that this matter was of great importance and not daring to neglect it in the slightest. Mu Jiuchen listened quietly, his face as gloomy as water, his eyes flashing with wisdom, as if he had already expected this day to come.

"Release the carrier pigeon immediately to pass the message to Xu Tao and Jiang Ying, and order them to hold their troops for the time being. If the enemy comes to provoke or harass them, there is no need to be polite to them. At the same time, tell them that I will rush back to the camp as soon as possible. In addition, be sure to tell the people in the Dark Domain to closely monitor the actions of the Jin royal family, and report any disturbances to me immediately!" Mu Jiuchen issued a series of orders that made Changfeng admire the prince very much!

"Also send people from the Dark Realm to protect the safety of the Jiang and Xie families, and immediately find out which court officials the Fourth Prince of the Jin Kingdom has had contact with."

"Yes." Changfeng clasped his fists and left. He would be busy for a while.

Mu Jiuchen sat alone in the room, looking at the bundle on the table, and then picked up the purse Jiang Li gave him. His face softened instantly. As if he was not the one who gave the orders quickly just now, he picked up the bundle and prepared to leave.

Jiang Li came to the lobby with two maids and chatted with the shopkeeper about the recent business of the store. She looked at the room upstairs intentionally or unintentionally. After a while, she saw Changfeng coming down from upstairs, greeted her and left. He looked in a hurry, so he must have something urgent.

Then Mu Jiuchen also came downstairs, holding the bag given to him by Jiang Li, and walked towards Jiang Li to say goodbye to her.

"Jiang Li, I have some urgent matters to take care of, so I have to leave here first. If you encounter any difficulties or have any needs, you can send someone to my mansion to find me. For now, I will still stay in the capital for a while." Mu Jiuchen felt it necessary to make some explanations and arrangements to Jiang Li.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something important and added, "Oh, there is one more thing I almost forgot to tell you. Keep this jade pendant. If you carry it with you, the people in the palace will naturally understand and will never dare to make things difficult for you easily." After that, Mu Jiuchen took off the jade pendant tied around his waist without thinking and gently placed it in Jiang Li's hand.

"No need for that!" Jiang Li waved her hands, she felt it was unnecessary.

Mu Jiuchen stuffed the jade pendant into Jiang Li's hand without waiting for her to say anything, then left Liweilou and got on the carriage and left.

Jiang Li looked at Mu Jiuchen who was walking farther and farther away until he disappeared, his gaze slowly fell back on the crystal clear, warm and smooth jade pendant in his hand, and an indescribable complex emotion surged in his heart.

She really couldn't figure out what else she needed to go to the Regent's Mansion to seek Mu Jiuchen's help? It was just this time that she asked him to help bring something to her second brother. It seemed that there was not much interaction between them. However, when she thought of the kindness and care behind Mu Jiuchen's gift of jade, Jiang Li couldn't help but feel a little touched.

"Sister, why didn't you tell me earlier that you were coming?" Jiang Li's thoughts were interrupted by her third brother's voice. She turned around and saw her third brother coming back in a hurry from outside.

"Third brother, where have you been? Why didn't I see you when I came?" Jiang Li looked at Jiang Bu with a smile.

"I'm sorry, little sister. I just went out to inspect the shop! There are a lot of things to do in the store, and I was very busy, so I didn't know you came to see me. If I had known in advance that you were coming, I would have prepared a bunch of your favorite food for you, and you would have been feasting on it! It's such a pity now..." Jiang Bu explained apologetically, his words full of love and pampering for his sister.

"It's okay, Third Brother. Look, I also tried the delicious food in our building today! I have to say, it's really delicious!" Whenever I think of Third Brother who is always thinking about bringing back all kinds of delicious food for me, an indescribable feeling of happiness will surge in my heart.

"Oh, by the way, third brother, this is Shi Liu, my new maid, who is very skilled in martial arts!" Jiang Li happily brought Shi Liu to Jiang Bu and introduced her to him.

Jiang Bu looked up at the woman named Shi Liu in front of him. She was tall and straight, with a firm look in her eyes, revealing a heroic spirit. He nodded slightly to show his approval, but did not say much. He always believed in what his sister Jiang Li said. As long as his sister liked someone or something, he would unconditionally support and trust them.

Seeing his brother so calm, Jiang Li couldn't help but ask curiously, "Third brother, what do you think? The pomegranate was given to me by the Regent."

Jiang Bu replied with a smile: "Given by the Regent? Was it because of the Huangjue Temple incident? Since the prince has made such an arrangement, there must be a reason for it." After saying that, he looked at Shi Liu thoughtfully again.

"Where is the regent?" Jiang Bu asked.

"Uh, the prince left for something urgent." Jiang Li answered truthfully!
