Chapter 204: Bamboo Forest in the Suburbs
Mingyue and Mingxi were relieved to see Jiang Ziluo return safely.
"Girl, let us go next time and don't take risks again." Mingyue said with a worried look on her face.
"Yes, girl, if anything happens to you, we are really guilty of this crime. Let us go next time. Did you gain anything?" Mingxi quickly agreed.
"No, I followed the man to a small courtyard. I didn't hear them say anything, but I was discovered. Then I came back."
Jiang Ziluo simply explained what happened, but she did not tell them all the details.
"Will the girl continue investigating?" Mingyue asked worriedly.
"Of course. The last time that person appeared in Qingyang City was when Leng Chenming was assassinated. This time there are a whole courtyard of people there. I don't think things will be simple." Jiang Ziluo frowned and thought. She always felt that something was wrong with this matter.
Mingyue and Mingxi looked at each other and could see the worry in each other's eyes. They knew that once Jiang Ziluo made up his mind to do something, it would be difficult for him to change his mind.
But the situation this time was too dangerous, and they didn't want Jiang Ziluo to be hurt again.
"Then I'll go monitor that small courtyard. If they take any action, we'll know."
Jiang Ziluo thought about it and felt that Mingyue was right, so he said, "You two go together, and come back and tell me if anything happens."
Mingyue and Mingxi looked at each other and refused in unison: "No! The girl still needs to keep someone by her side. Since there will never be peace where this mysterious person is, the girl must not let her guard down to avoid any accidents."
Jiang Ziluo looked at the two of them helplessly and said with a wry smile: "Okay, I'll listen to you, but you also have to pay attention to safety."
Mingyue and Mingxi nodded, and Mingyue continued, "Don't worry, girl, we will be careful. We will take turns to monitor the yard, so that you will have someone by your side."
Mingxi agreed, "Yes, young lady, Mingyue and I will take turns to monitor that yard, so that you will have someone by your side."
Jiang Ziluo felt warm in his heart, looked at them both with gratitude, and said, "Thank you for caring about me so much."
Mingyue and Mingxi smiled at each other and said in unison: "You're welcome, young lady. This is what we should do."
Jiang Ziluo smiled and said, "Yeah, I know."
Mingyue looked around, then whispered to Jiang Ziluo, "Girl, wait here for a while. I'll go see if there are any suspicious people or things around."
Jiang Ziluo nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead and be careful."
Mingyue responded and turned around and disappeared into the room. After a while, Mingyue came back and said to Jiang Ziluo, "Girl, there is nothing unusual around."
Jiang Ziluo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."
At this time, Mingxi suddenly said, "Miss, I want to contact the secret door and transfer two people over in case of emergency."
Jiang Ziluo hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is it okay? Would it be too much trouble?"
Mingxi shook his head and said firmly: "It's not a problem, girl. It's always good to have more people to protect you."
Jiang Ziluo nodded and said, "Okay, then go and come back soon."
Mingxi responded and turned to leave. Jiang Ziluo looked at her retreating figure, his heart filled with emotion and warmth.
She knew that no matter what difficulties and dangers she encountered, she was not fighting alone because she had loyal and brave partners like Mingyue and Mingxi.
Jiang Ziluo waited anxiously in the room, she couldn't help but worry about the safety of Mingyue and Mingxi. On the other hand, Mingyue quietly lurked near the courtyard, closely watching the movements in the courtyard.
Suddenly, she found a group of dark shadows sneaking into the yard. Mingyue's heart tightened, and she immediately rushed back to the inn and told Jiang Ziluo about the situation.
After hearing this, Jiang Ziluo decided to go to the courtyard to find out for herself. She approached the courtyard cautiously, but found a letter at the door. The handwriting on the letter was sloppy, and it was obviously written in a hurry.
Jiang Ziluo unfolded the letter and saw the words written on it: "If you want to know the truth, come to the bamboo forest outside the city alone at noon tomorrow." At the end of the letter, there was a picture of a blood-red bat.
Jiang Ziluo clenched her fists. She knew it was a trap, but in order to uncover the conspiracy behind it, she decided to go to the appointment.
Jiang Ziluo returned to the inn and told Mingyue and Mingxi the contents of the letter. They were both very worried about her safety and advised her not to take risks easily.
But Jiang Ziluo was determined, she thought this was the only way to find the truth. The next day at noon, Jiang Ziluo came to the bamboo forest alone.
Deep in the bamboo forest, she saw a figure. When she got closer, she saw that it was Leng Chenming.
"Leng Chenming? Why are you here?" Jiang Ziluo asked in surprise. He didn't expect to meet Leng Chenming here, and under such circumstances.
"Before we left Qingyang City, I sent people to keep an eye on the movements of the mysterious man. A few days ago, a secret letter came saying that the mysterious man had arrived in the small town over here, so I brought my people here quietly." Leng Chenming explained.
"So that's how it is..." Jiang Ziluo said to Leng Chenming.
"I didn't know you were here. I originally wanted to hook up the person behind the scenes, who knew it would be you? But since that's the case, let's go together." Leng Chenming couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
"You took all the people in that yard away? Then you must know what they are going to do?" Jiang Ziluo had too many questions to ask. After all, these things were too strange, and she needed an answer.
"Well, I asked the people from the secret door to take those people away. They are waiting here this time because they want to assassinate Ji Yuze when my uncle the ninth prince and I bring the second prince of Lingxi, Ji Yuze, pass by here in a few days." Leng Chenming told Jiang Ziluo truthfully.
"What? Aren't they from Mosang? Why did they want to assassinate the prince of Lingxi? Do their two countries have a grudge?"
Jiang Ziluo stared at Leng Chenming with wide eyes, looking at him with confusion. She really couldn't understand the reason behind this. What kind of deep hatred could there be between the two countries that would require assassins to be sent to assassinate him?
Leng Chenming sighed softly, his eyes deep and firm: "This is a long story, let's leave here first."
He took Jiang Ziluo's hand, walked out of the bamboo forest quickly, and rushed towards the town. Along the way, both of them remained vigilant, fearing that another accident would happen.
Finally, they returned to the inn where Jiang Ziluo was staying in the town, and Leng Chenming's tense nerves relaxed a little. When they came to Jiang Ziluo's room, Mingyue and Mingxi were anxiously waiting for Jiang Ziluo to come back.
When he saw the two of them together, he was stunned for a moment, but he was still tactful. After saying hello, he left the room, closed the door, and waited outside.
Leng Chenming spoke slowly after making sure there was no danger around.
