Whoever controls the Chiang family controls the world!

When Gu Jinchu heard what the two Japanese people said, these words flashed through his mind.

In the previous life, Emperor Jianyuan was obsessed with alchemy and only thought of appointing a crown prince when he was lying on his sickbed before his death.

Unexpectedly, his and the queen's eldest son, the eldest prince Zhao Kang, died before him.

Zhao Kang was the eldest son of the empress and was born in the royal palace when the emperor was still a prince. He was once given high hopes, but since he was born, even though he was born in an imperial family and had been taking medicine all the time, he did not even have a bloodline.

The dying Emperor Jianyuan was so grief-stricken that by the time the eunuchs found him, he had already been dead on the dragon bed for a long time.

After the emperor passed away, the second prince Zhao Xu was the most popular candidate for the crown prince. The second prince's biological mother was Concubine Jing, who came from a noble family. It was inevitable that Zhao Xu would ascend the throne. What's more, Taifu Gao had the edict left by the late emperor in his hand, which stated that after a hundred years, the second prince Zhao Xu would inherit the throne.

If Gu Jinchu had not experienced all this, he would really believe what the Japanese said.

After the old Duke handed over the military power, the Jiang family no longer interfered in military affairs. I heard that there was a layer of dust on the gate of the martial arts field in the Duke's Mansion.

The Crown Prince was of frail health and had never practiced martial arts since childhood. Even the men of the Jiang family who entered the court as officials were all civil servants, including the youngest son of the Duke, the most outstanding Master Jiang Wu, who also started out as an editor in the Hanlin Academy.

In the previous life, the highest-ranking official in the Jiang family was Jiang Nansheng. By the time of her death, he had already become the Minister of the Dali Temple.

Gu Jinchu listened carefully, wanting to know who the 'he' the Japanese were talking about...

It was the first time that Princess Zhao Xuan did such a sneaky thing, and her feet became numb after squatting there for a while.

My legs moved unconsciously, and there was a faint sound under my feet. The slightly older woman in the room looked around vigilantly and rushed to the window at a speed that was barely noticeable to the naked eye.

Gu Jinchu and Zhao Xuan looked at each other. This Japanese man's skills were really weird. How could a normal person have such speed?

And her eyes, lifeless and cold, were really scary to look at.

Zhao Xuan, who wanted to stand up, was held down by Gu Jinchu. She looked at the eldest princess and shook her head. It would be difficult to explain if she went out now and it would also bring a lot of trouble.

Suddenly, something moved in the holly bush in front of the window. Zhao Xuan was startled, pursed her lips and covered her mouth, blinked and looked up at Gu Jinchu.

Gu Jinchu bit his lower lip, his entire back was wet with sweat. His left hand moved away from the eldest princess and slowly fell on the wrist of the other hand.

At this moment, the branches shook and the sound of a cat's meow was heard.

A brown and black tail with fishbone pattern stretched out from the holly bush, and then a tabby cat walked out leisurely, and meowed when it saw the Fuso man in front of the window.

Princess Xiaoqian looked very displeased when she saw it. She raised her hand and a black hidden weapon that she had hidden somewhere flew out.

Meow--

The kitten let out a scream, then dived into the holly bushes with a rustling sound.

Gu Jinchu frowned when he saw two drops of blood on the ground.

"what sound?"

A scolding made her feel much more at ease.

Several men in flying fish suits came over, led by Qin Lang.

"What was that sound just now? Huitong Hall does not allow envoys to carry weapons. Anyone who violates this rule will be killed without mercy!" Qin Lang's face was gloomy and his voice was cold and hard. Most of the Longquan sword in his hand had been drawn out.

The Jinyiwei behind him surrounded him in a fan shape, and Gu Jinchu could feel the strong murderous aura even when hiding behind the wall.

"Is this how you treat guests? It was just a cat that ran over."

"Our princess is allergic to these hairy things. When she comes back and finds herself unwell, who among you can be responsible?" the Fuso woman said in a somewhat stiff tone.

With a swish, Qin Lang put the sword back into the scabbard and said in a mocking tone:

"You are just a slave of the defeated country, yet you are so arrogant!"

"you..."

Princess Xiaoqian held the maidservant, bowed respectfully and said, "We were too worried about you, and we were a bit rude in our words. I hope General Qin Lang will not blame us."

Qin Lang raised his eyebrows and looked at her. The two of them faced each other across the window. "Oh? You did a good job on your homework when you came here, and you can even say my name."

"I am a servant of Prince Huailiang. General Qin Lang is famous in the Western Expedition Army. Everyone knows that there is a handsome, brave and combative young general in Sanjiang City."

Princess Xiaoqian met his gaze, and her words stuttered because she was not very skilled.

A palace maid's voice came from outside the house, saying that the banquet at Huitong Hall was about to begin, and Princess Xiaoqian needed two maids to serve her closely.

Qin Lang stood outside the window, watching their disappearing backs. The Jinyiwei behind him held the swords at their waists and disappeared in the direction they had just come from.

Gu Jinchu felt that his legs and feet were about to lose feeling. He didn't know how long Qin Lang would have to stand there, and then he heard him say, "Everyone has left, why don't you come out?"

Gu Jinchu and Zhao Xuan looked at each other: "..."

They were discovered?!

when?

"Chujieer..."

New sister?

Zhao Xuan tilted her head and looked at Gu Jinchu.

what's the situation?

How dare this tall, dark-faced guy call me so intimately?

Don’t you know that men and women should be very careful about their relationships?

Even if you are a military general, you must know the rules!

Gu Jinchu helped the princess up, walked out from his hiding place and asked him softly, "When did you find out?"

Qin Lang looked Gu Jinchu up and down and was relieved to see that she was unharmed.

Looking at her outfit today, his eyes were filled with accusation and concern, making Gu Jinchu feel that he cared about her more than his father Gu Huanian.

"It was Master Jiang Wu who discovered that you and the princess were missing, and asked me to protect the princess."

Apart from her maternal relatives, Qin Lang is one of the few people in this world she can trust.

Gu Jinchu nodded and took a step forward, "Qin Lang, I have something to tell you..."

"Tianqing, Sister Xuan, come here." Jiang Nansheng appeared at the corner door, with a strength in his voice that could not be ignored.

The wall beside him was covered with vines and flowers that were trying to bloom in the hot summer air, swaying gently in the breeze. The sunlight shone through them onto his face, and in the mottled light and shadow, it was difficult to see Jiang Nansheng's expression.

When Zhao Xuan saw her uncle coming, she lifted her skirt and walked to his side. She felt that although her uncle had a smile on his face, the smile did not reach his eyes.

She followed her uncle's gaze and saw Qin Lang standing next to Gu Jinchu, listening to her with his head down and a serious look on his face.

Looking at it from this angle...

Zhao Xuan glanced at her uncle, then looked at the two people standing together over there.

Suddenly she felt that her previous suspicions were correct, and she seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.

What Gu Jinchu wanted to say was interrupted by Jiang Nansheng's word "Tianqing". He bowed to Qin Lang and said apologetically: "General Qin, goodbye."

Qin Lang sighed and watched Gu Jinchu walk towards Jiang Nansheng. He raised his eyes and met his gaze again, frowning slightly.

There was scrutiny and a hint of hostility in Master Jiang Wu's eyes.

The gentle and kind Mr. Jiang Wu was indeed not as the outside world rumored.

Even if the eagle is trapped in shackles, the wildness in its eyes cannot be hidden!
