Hey, you are reborn too?

Chapter 127 The True and False Commander Xiao

"Search carefully here too."

Jiang Mian's pupils suddenly shrank - this voice was from his second brother!

Although he was horrified in his heart, Jiang Mian remained calm on the surface. He suppressed himself tightly and did not rashly step out from behind the tree and fall into the trap.

"Search them all carefully for me," the voice of the Second Prince Jiang Yu sounded again. He was just named Prince Heng a few days ago and is now in the limelight. "Maybe that little bastard is hiding among them!"

"Yes!"

The footsteps were in unison, and from the sound of the responses it sounded like hundreds of people had arrived.

Jiang Mian poked his head out from behind a tree and almost made eye contact with someone, so he immediately retracted his head back behind the tree.

His heartbeat quickened involuntarily. The ones coming were the Imperial Guards who only obeyed the emperor's orders!

They have always obeyed the emperor's orders. Why would they listen to Prince Heng so much at this moment?

Was it because Prince Heng was so favored by the Emperor that the Emperor assigned the Imperial Guard to him?

Or, if there was a big mess in the palace - the emperor got into trouble or Long Yu passed away, and as the Prince of Heng, he took over the Imperial Guards?

Jiang Mian felt that ideas were popping up in his mind like mushrooms after rain, but because he had not been to the Yangxin Palace to confirm it with his own eyes, he could not confirm or refute any of the ideas.

His breathing became more and more rapid, and he felt like he was suffocating from his own thoughts.

Countless torches swept past in front of him, black smoke came out from the torches and gathered in the sky, the smell was so choking that Jiang Mian wanted to vomit.

A man stopped in front of the old tree.

Jiang Mian's heart skipped a beat. Although he had hidden well, there was still a risk of being discovered.

In this huge garden, the most I can do is use the surrounding trees, grass and other things to hide my breath, cover my body, reduce my presence and reduce the possibility of being discovered.

After all, even if he had great powers, he did not have the ability to transform himself into a blade of grass, a flower, or a tree.

Since he was not part of the garden, there was definitely a risk of being discovered.

But he didn't expect to be discovered so quickly!

The person in front stopped, raised the torch, and searched Jiang Mian carefully.

The man's searching hand was getting closer and closer. The scorching heat from the torch burned Jiang Mian, causing a layer of fine beads of sweat to form on his forehead.

Jiang Mian's hand gently moved to the waist where the dagger was placed. He stared at the man's throat, getting closer and closer.

A bloody mark appeared out of nowhere on the man's neck. The direction of the stab was just right, just cutting his trachea, making it impossible for him to scream.

The force was neither too strong nor too light, killing him instantly while ensuring that his head was still hanging on his neck. From behind, he looked the same as he was when he was alive.

The man's eyes were wide open, as if he had never expected to be killed in such a quick move.

His grip loosened, the torch fell, and his body fell straight down.

In a flash, the torch was caught steadily by a hand, illuminating the area again, and the man's body was gently supported by another hand, stopping him from falling.

The whole process was silent, even the man’s teammates didn’t notice that someone had fallen secretly.

For some reason, according to Jiang Mian's previous observations, this person specialized in searching dark places. After he started searching, the others did not come again, but instead lowered their heads to search in other bright places.

This is obviously not right. The moonlight is so bright tonight, it is impossible for anyone to hide in that bright place. Why don't they patrol in the dark?

But that's okay, Jiang Mian's lips curled up slightly, this would make it easier for him to evacuate safely.

Jiang Mian stood up gently and compared himself to this person. He was not much taller than him.

There was a glimmer of cruelty in his eyes, and he gently lifted up one of the man's hands and placed it in a hidden place behind a tree.

Jiang Mian saw the badge on the man's waist clearly in the clear moonlight and understood.

No wonder others didn't dare to get closer after seeing this man searching here. It turned out that this man was a captain of the Imperial Guards. Others deliberately avoided him because they were afraid of stealing the credit from their superiors.

But this skill - Jiang Mian narrowed his eyes. The man in front of him was knocked down by him with one move, without any resistance. How could he become the commander of the Imperial Guard with such mediocre martial arts?

Jiang Mian sneered silently. It seemed like another young master from a prominent family came to the Imperial Guard to try to get a position and take credit at this critical moment.

Jiang Mian's eyes were cold, and he didn't feel sorry for this man at all. It was because of the existence of these young masters that the Royal Guards became so cowardly and had no combat effectiveness at all.

Looking at the figures moving back and forth in the distance, Jiang Mian suddenly came up with an idea.

After nearly half an hour, a "commander" dressed in the uniform of the Royal Guards walked out from behind the tree.

Behind the tree, there was an unknown corpse dressed in the clothes of a prince.

"Sir," seeing the commander walk out from behind the tree, the Royal Guards gathered around him with smiles on their faces, "You've been searching there for a while, have you found anything?"

"What discovery?" Jiang Mian imitated the man's tone, but his face showed no expression, and even his mouth opened and closed with a relatively small range. "Even if I discovered it, it's my credit. It's none of your business. Get lost!"

"Little one, get out of here, little one, get out of here."

Those people looked sly, bowed to the "commander" twice, and then ran off to search other bright places.

"Commander Xiao," a voice suddenly came from the side. It was Jiang Yu. "Did your people find anything?"

"Your Highness," "Commander Xiao" knelt on one knee and lowered his head to reply, looking extremely respectful, "I am incompetent and have not been able to find any results."

"It's okay, get up."

Jiang Mian stood up and heard Jiang Yu muttering quietly: "I knew I couldn't rely on you young soldiers."

"Commander Xiao" hung his head, as if he really realized his mistake and felt guilty. At least in Jiang Yu's eyes at this moment, Commander Xiao looked like he could tolerate being beaten or scolded.

"No, Commander Xiao," Jiang Yu's voice sounded again, with a somewhat sarcastic tone, "Why are your people searching in the light instead of in the dark?"

"is it?"

"Commander Xiao" raised his head slowly and turned around slowly. He seemed to be very slow to react and looked clumsy.

"Master Xiao," Jiang Yu was still smiling, but the anger in his eyes was clear, "Did you lead anyone to search seriously? Ah!"

"Second Prince, calm down." "Young Master Xiao" bowed to him, his posture was calm, unlike his dull expression just now. "I have someone searching carefully."

"Search carefully?" Jiang Yu couldn't even keep the smile on his face at this moment. He tilted his head slightly, cursed softly, sighed, and then slowly turned back, showing his signature smile again, "Master Xiao, will you die if you let those people search the dark places?"

"Master Xiao" seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Hmm?" Jiang Yu's voice suddenly rose. He grabbed the young master by the collar, and a vicious look flashed in his eyes. "What? Are you going to disobey my order?"

Jiang Mian was lifted off the ground by him, with just the right amount of fear on his face, and he pretended to kick his hands and feet twice in the air, but in fact he just wanted to laugh, to sneer.

"Hmm? Why did your eye color suddenly become lighter?"
