Chapter 1435: The Stubborn Alliance Master Jiang
Editor: Atlas Studios
After Ji Minglou was beaten up by Jiang Guanchao last night, he did not have the strength to leave the courtyard for the entire night.
At dawn, he finally recovered completely. The first thing he did was go next door to look for Yun Shuang.
However, he called for a long time, but Yun Shuang did not open the door. He was worried that Yun Shuang would be plotted against by the Japanese assassins and immediately jumped into the courtyard.
Yun Shuang’s door was open and there was no one inside.
The table was a little messy, and the tea set had fallen to the ground. As it was a wooden floor, it did not shatter, but no matter how one looked at it, it felt that an extremely intense battle had happened here.
Unfortunately, Jiang Guanchao had hit him too hard, so he could not hear the commotion here.
However, Jiang Guanchao was not injured… He had shown mercy.
He hurriedly returned to his and Jiang Guanchao’s courtyard, wanting to ask if Jiang Guanchao had heard the sounds of fighting next door.
However, after searching every house in Jiang Guanchao, Jiang Guanchao had disappeared!
Ji Minglou frowned.
Their first reaction was that both of them had encountered the Japanese assassins.
There were two possibilities.
Firstly, they had been captured by the Japanese assassins. The possibility was not high. After all, Jiang Guanchao and Yun Shuang were both top experts on Thousand Mountain Island.
It was not easy to capture them alive.
The other possibility was that the two of them had gone to chase after the fleeing Japanese assassins.
Ji Minglou felt that the latter was more likely.
Ji Minglou was a little unhappy.
Yun Shuang had always been independent and did not act with anyone, but she fought with Jiang Guanchao again and again.
This feeling was not good.
“Shuangshuang!”
“Shuangshuang!”
“Shuangshuang!”
The three little ones came to look for Yun Shuang as soon as they woke up.
They saw Ji Minglou in the courtyard.
Dahu and Erhu knew him, but Xiaohu didn’t remember.
Xiaohu placed his hands on his hips and asked, “Who are you ?”
Dahu said to his brother, “It’s Hall Master Ji.”
Xiaohu looked up at Ji Minglou with admiration. “The guy who raises chickens (Ji)! Can you teach me how to raise chickens?”
They raised a few chicks in the Southern Wilderness and did not bring them back when they returned to the Great Zhou. They handed them to the butler of the Cheng family.
Xiaohu stopped putting his hands on his hips and walked forward to grab Ji Minglou’s sleeve. “I want to raise a chicken like Dafa!”
Dahu corrected her with a serious expression. “Dahua is a phoenix!”
Xiaohu said, “I don’t care! It’s a chicken!”
Dahu question, “Have you ever seen such a big chicken?”
Xiaohu said, “Chick, chick, chick!”
Dahu corrected, “Phoenix Bird, Phoenix Bird, Phoenix Bird!”
Xiaohu placed his hands on his hips and stomped his feet. “It’s not a phoenix!”
Dahu corrected him again. “It’s a bird! A bird that is like a phoenix! It’s not chick!”
“Blablabla! Hehehe!”
Xiaohu could not win against Dahu, so he used the skill of making faces and spitting out his tongue.
Dahu was spat on the face. He waved his small fists and was about to teach his brother a lesson.
Xiaohu quickly hid behind Erhu.
Dahu said, “Come out!”
Xiaohu stuck out his provocative little head. “I’m not coming out! Hehehe!”
Erhu was sandwiched between the two brothers and was pulled around by Xiaohu. “Xiaohu, don’t pull me. I’m about to fall!”
“Don’t pull Erhu!”
“I insist on being arrogant!”
“I beat you up!”
“Beat you up!”
“Aiya, stop fooling around, you two! My pants are falling off!”
Erhu was busy pulling up his pants.
Dahu said, “You’re taking off people’s pants again!”
Xiaohu said, “I didn’t!”
Xiaohu’s motive was indeed not to take off Erhu’s pants. He had pulled Erhu’s clothes and accidentally pulled his pants.
Therefore, he would never admit that he had taken off his pants!
The three brothers were in a mess and had completely forgotten why they were there.
Ji Minglou was worried about Yun Shuang’s safety. He looked at the three noisy children and walked out of the courtyard.
On the way, he met Wei Ting and told him about Yun Shuang and Jiang Guanchao chasing after the Japanese assassins.
Wei Ting was puzzled. “Was there another wave of Japanese assassins that came to the residence last night? Shouldn’t they have come to look for Xiaobao first? Xiaobao has been in Grandmother’s courtyard and laughed so loudly. Why did the Japanese assassins go to Mother Palace Lord’s courtyard first?”
Ji Ming’s corridor said, “Perhaps they want to avenge their dead companions.”
Wei Ting asked, “Hall Master Ji, do you know when they left?”
Ji Minglou cleared his throat. “About… after midnight.”
He might have been off by a few hours. He could not say that he had been beaten up by Jiang Guanchao and did not hear anything.
How embarrassing would that be?
If Wei Ting realized that something was wrong, at most, he would say that he had remembered the wrong time.
Ji Minglou hurriedly said, “I’ll go find them.”
Wei Ting said, “Hall Master Ji, wait for the news at the residence. My father and my brothers have already gone to the stronghold of the Japanese assassins.”
Rakshasa and Baili Chen also went.
If Mother Palace Lord and Alliance Master Jiang were really there, not to mention a few strongholds, even ten of them could be caught in one fell swoop.
“You’re not going?”
Ji Minglou asked suspiciously.
When he was on Thousand Mountain Island, this kid had always been at the front. Why would he wait quietly in the residence for such a big matter?
Wei Ting said without changing his expression, “I have some official matters to deal with in the Imperial Court and can’t leave. Since Mother isn’t around, I’ll go back and deal with official matters first!”
With that, he quickly left.
Ji Minglou said, “It’s strange.”
Wei Ting returned to the courtyard in one breath.
Su Xiaoxiao lay weakly on the soft bed; her smooth skin covered in ambiguous marks.
There was a lot of ice in the house. Wei Ting was worried that she would catch a cold and pulled the thin silk over her.
“Hot.”
Su Xiaoxiao said weakly.
Wei Ting said, “This poison is too unreasonable. Fortunately, your husband is powerful. How is it? Are there any signs of it acting up again?”
Su Xiaoxiao glared at him.
Wei Ting knew that he had not realized the severity of the matter at night and did not dare to be greedy anymore. He returned to the topic and preached, “I didn’t see Mother Palace Lord and Alliance Master Jiang. I wonder if they were also poisoned by this love poison.”
If that was the case, then the two of them had been missing for three days and three nights. It was very intriguing.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “I only got a little powder from Cheng Xin. I didn’t expect… is Cheng Xin alright?”
Wei Ting pointed above his head. “I’m fine. She was lying on the roof eating candied hawthorn and fell asleep. Here.”
Su Xiaoxiao heard Cheng Xin snore.
Uh… Why did she even learn Mother Palace Lord’s snores…
“But why is Cheng Xin fine?”
Wei Ting asked.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Cheng Xin is a pure person. The former Saintess is dead. She’s a new consciousness. She’s only… a year or two.”
Wei Ting was speechless.
No wonder she learned everything.
–
The few of them waited for news at the Wei family from sunrise to sunset. The sky was filled with stars.
Finally, Jiang Guanchao and Yun Shuang returned to the Wei family.
Ji Minglou, who had been pacing around the door for a long time, immediately went up to her. “Shuang’er!”
Jiang Guanchao glanced coldly at Ji Minglou.
Yun Shuang was feeling depressed about the child avoidance soup when Ji Minglou called her using that term. She frowned.
Ji Minglou smelled the medicine on the two of them. “Shuang’er, did you drink medicine? Is the poison still lingering, or are you injured?”
A trace of discomfort flashed across Yun Shuang’s eyes.
Jiang Guanchao calmly took a step forward and pushed Ji Minglou away.
Ji Minglou actually did not argue with Jiang Guanchao and turned to enter the residence.
Yun Shuang reminded him coldly, “Alliance Master Jiang, remember our agreement. Don’t say anything you shouldn’t say.”
Jiang Guanchao said disdainfully, “Heh, I should be the one reminding you. Don’t think that you can be related to me just because you’ve had a few physical encounters with me!”
With that, he entered the residence domineeringly before Yun Shuang.
Yun Shuang said, “Stop targeting Ji Minglou.”
Jiang Guanchao stopped and looked at Yun Shuang coldly. “Since when did I target him?”
Ji Minglou ran out with a jar. “Shuang’er! Here, candied plums! You’re afraid of bitterness. Every time you drink medicine—”
Jiang Guanchao glared at Yun Shuang and punched Ji Minglou’s nose without looking back.
“Since when did I target him?!”
