Chapter 221: Full of Cunning Tricks (2/2)

“Does Murong Yue really have a group of formidable invisible guards?” Murong Jian could not fully believe it. He had heard Murong Rou mention those guards more than once. And she said they were all-conquering and invincible, which were miraculous beyond belief.

“It’s absolutely true. I heard Murong Yue telling Madam Shen that he had trained those guards, mainly to protect Madam Shen, Murong Ye and Murong Xue when he was out on the battlefield.”

Murong Rou said lightly with undisguised irony flashing in her eyes. Murong Yue had tried his best to protect his vulnerable wife and kids. However, the fact was that he died in a battle while his gentle and beautiful wife was buried with him. Although his vulnerable son and daughter were still alive, they were often bullied by others and they were even deceived by her. Had he known these in the nether world, he would have absolutely turned in his grave.

She had always regarded this half-blooded elder brother as a thorn in her side! Despite his identity as the son of her father’s legal wife and his higher status than her, he had died before her.

Murong Jian narrowed his eyes slightly. Murong Yue had been smarter than others since he was young. No matter in terms of literary talent or military ability, he was far behind Yue, not to mention Yue’s excellent martial accomplishments and extraordinary ability of arranging troops and combating that were beyond his reach, which made him hate him even more out of jealousy!

If Murong Yue had really trained the shadow guards, he could absolutely not sniff at their ability: “I don’t think there will be shadow guards around Murong Xue and Murong Ye.”

“Of course not!” Murong Rou shook her head and said with confidence: “We had schemed against Murong Ye and Murong Xue so many times. If there were shadow guards, she would have already ordered them to kill us directly!”

“The shadow guards of Murong Yue were not in his children’s hands, where will they be?” Murong Jian said in a low voice with his shrewd eyes narrowed slightly.

“I don’t know.” Murong Rou shook her head with hidden bitterness: “But I know we can manipulate all the guards with a token.”

Murong Jian: “What is that token?”

“I have no idea!” Murong Rou shook her head: “I’ve never seen it before, I just vaguely heard Murong Yue mention it.”

With a trace of frustration in his eyes, Murong Jian frowned and said: “We don’t even know what it is. How can we find it?”

“Why the rush? The shadow guards were trained for protecting Murong Ye and Murong Xue. Even if Murong Yue did not deliver the token in time when he died in the battle, there must be some clues left.”

“That ignorant and incompetent moron, Murong Ye cannot find anything. We’d better not count on him but Murong Xue, who is smart and witty. Perhaps she will find something unexpected one day. As long as we keep an eye on her, we will find the token sooner or later.”

Murong Rou said in a low voice with an uncanny smile. The years of painstaking efforts of Murong Yue were likely to fall in their hands, which made her feel excited at the mere thought.

“Sounds reasonable!” Murong Jian nodded with solemnity in his shrewd eyes: “I will tell servants to keep an eye on Murong Xue at all times.”

The hundreds of all-conquering shadow guards were such a great temptation that he could not wait to find and take over them.

The night was cold like water and it was quiet in the suburbs of the capital. All mansions shrouded in darkness, which indicated that the owners had already turned off the light to rest. Men in black quietly went over the wall, sneaked into the courtyard one after another and ran directly towards the main house as if entering an unpeopled land.
