608 The General’s Residence
The emperor’s imperial edict arrived at the general’s residence.
At that time, Jiang Zhenye and Jiang Wen treated the general’s mansion as their own. They were arrogant and domineering to the guards and servants of the general’s mansion, ordering them to do this and that.
They even found an opportunity to send out the guards and servants who were usually not pleasing to the eye, or who did not listen to their orders.
However, the guards of the general’s residence were personally hired by Jiang Zhennan to protect the people of the general’s residence. Jiang Zhenye and Jiang Wen could not send them away so easily.
Even Jiang Zhennan’s most trusted Butler could not get rid of them easily. Unless Jiang Zhennan did not want them, they would not leave the general’s residence.
Therefore, whether it was Jiang Zhenye, Jiang Wen, or the Butler, they should not think of any excuse to send the guards away.
This matter made Jiang Zhenye and Jiang Wen both angry and annoyed.
When the guards once again ignored them, Jiang Wen’s face turned red with anger. She stomped her feet and shouted at them angrily, ” Hmph, are you waiting for your general Jiang Zhennan to return? Let me tell you, stop dreaming. I’m afraid that your general will never come back!”
“Wen ‘Er!” As soon as Jiang Wen finished shouting, Jiang Zhenye, who was standing beside her, stopped her with a stern expression.
When Jiang Wen realized what she was saying, her face turned pale, and she looked at her brother, not knowing what to do.
“What did you just say?” Guard, Little Nine, immediately reacted and asked sternly, ” miss Jiang, what did you just say? What did you mean by our great general might never come back? Please make yourself clear.”
Although these people were called guards, they were actually Jiang Zhennan’s brothers who had gone through life and death with him. On the battlefield, they had killed at least a hundred enemies, if not a thousand. Therefore, although the murderous aura on this person was not as strong as Jiang Zhennan’s, it was enough to scare the weak Jiang siblings.
“Impudent!” It was Jiang Zhenye who reacted first. He roared in an imposing manner, ” who allowed you to speak to your Masters like this? Do you know that you’re going against your superior?”
It was a pity that Jiang Zhennan’s soldiers were not so easily frightened. Moreover, this person was only shouting loudly, but his fists and legs were shaking.
Little Nine sneered, “To all the guards in the general’s residence, only the general is our master. As for you…” with that, he sneered and left with the other guards.
Their actions were self-evident. The siblings were not worthy of being the Masters of the general’s residence.
After Little Nine and the others left, Jiang Wen looked at her brother with a pale face and asked, “Brother, what should we do? I-I’m in trouble. If mother finds out, she’ll definitely curse me to death.”
Although Jiang Zhenye was angry at Jiang Wen’s impulsiveness, Jiang Wen was still his most beloved sister. He closed the folding fan he had opened with a snap and comforted Jiang Wen, ” Wen ‘Er, don’t worry!” He looked sharply at the backs of the guards and said ruthlessly, ” for a while, they will never believe that Jiang Zhennan, that bastard, would go missing. So, you don’t have to worry that they will make a big move and alert the higher-ups. If they really do take action, we must report to mother. She will definitely have a way to deal with it. ”
Back then, when she was just a concubine, she was able to use underhanded means to secretly cause the head lady of the Zhengguo’s mansion to die of dystocia. She took over the position, and after that, she firmly stabilized the head lady of the mansion. It could be seen how powerful his mother was.
Therefore, their mother would definitely have a way to solve all this.
At the thought of her mother, Jiang Wen broke into a smile and nodded. “okay, I’ll listen to brother!” Jiang Zhennan’s disappearance was currently an absolute secret in the eyes of the defender General’s residence, and even that person. Otherwise, if the Emperor or the enemy countries knew about Jiang Zhennan’s disappearance, it would definitely set off bloody chaos.
Jiang Zhennan’s disappearance was overheard by his siblings. Then, they were caught red-handed by Jiang Yunfeng and Wen Yujing. After that, they were severely warned not to tell anyone about this matter. Otherwise, it might cause big trouble.
On one side, Jiang Zhenye and Jiang Wen were secretly happy about Jiang Zhennan’s disappearance. It was unknown if he was still alive or not. On the other hand, they had to keep Jiang Zhennan’s disappearance an absolute secret, which seemed to make them particularly depressed. They wanted to tell the whole world that Jiang Zhennan was dead and that they were the Masters of the general’s residence.
It was just that the brother and sister seemed to have never thought that even if the defender general’s residence did not have a defender-general, it would still be the defender general’s residence. Could they still be the Masters here?
On the other side, Little Nine and company came to a hidden corner and started whispering.
“Did you guys hear what Jiang Wen said just now?” Little 9th asked sternly, ” how much of her words do you think we can trust? ”
The other guards looked at each other, then shook their heads in unison. “Little Nine, you can’t trust her words. You also know that this woman usually doesn’t like the general and often curses him to die. If the general had really disappeared for no reason, according to her temperament, she should have been shouting loudly a long time ago. How could she have held it in until now? Besides, our general is wise, brave, and wise. How could he disappear for no reason? As his guards, how could we not know?”
After hearing this, although little Nine felt that these words made sense, he still had some doubts and worries in his heart. “But don’t you think that our general has really disappeared for too long this time? As the housekeeper said, our general went on a tour, but you should know that he’s not such a leisurely person, right? Besides, even if the general went out to play, he should at least let our boss know. But our boss hasn’t received any news from the general recently, right?”
With his doubts pointed out, the others immediately fell silent, their expressions solemn.
After a while, little sixteen asked, ” you mean, something might have happened to the general? ”
Little nine nodded and said, ” yes. Listening to the meaning of Jiang Wen’s words, the general’s accident is likely to be related to the Marquis’ family, and maybe our general has already…”
What?
He was most likely dead.
However, they did not dare to say it out loud.
Just as they were silent, the emperor’s imperial edict arrived.
The Butler, Jiang Tianping, hurriedly led the army to receive the Imperial edict.
