C88 (1/2)

Ever since he said he wouldn't lead his men into the city, he lost all of his arrogance and couldn't do anything about it. He could only eat and drink and gamble every day, and even his son, Jiang Li, ate and drank too. His days were leisurely, and he had countless gold and silver treasures and wealth.

Jiang He was drinking with Jiang Li while fighting with a cricket when Yan Yan Wu arrived at the Jiang manor. The father and son duo's behavior could be said to be exactly the same as each other, both with flushed faces and intoxicated from sleep. Jiang He had barged into his mansion without even notifying Jiang He, and a cold light flashed in his eyes as he looked at the two men standing in the middle of the hall. Jiang He immediately lifted his head and saw Yan unknowingly standing in front of him with a murderous look.

”Commander-in-chief …” ”Is there something important about your sudden visit to my house?” Jiang He stuttered as he spoke, his eyes filled with fear.

Jiang Li knew that this was Fire Beacon Country's military governor, an existence that would allow their entire family to be exterminated in an instant. At that time, he was afraid, so he quickly gave up his seat and looked at the crickets in the cup, actually teasing them for a while as if he was very interested in them. Only then did he let go of his hand and looked towards Jiang He and Jiang Li, who had been standing there in a daze for a long time.

”It must be very difficult to pretend to be drunk and have nothing good to offer, right?” Don't know when he suddenly asked, but there was a hint of ridicule in his eyes. Jiang He thought things were not looking good and hurriedly cupped his hands in a bow, ”What is the military director saying …” ”I don't understand …”

”You should understand what I'm saying. Don't tell me that you really think I'll be as stupid as you think?”

He wanted to defend himself, but his words did not give him the chance to do so as he continued to speak on his own, ”Let me guess, you are actually not loyal to our Fire Nation, you would only submit to us as a scheme, but you are actually someone from the Greenwood Country, right? Qingyu Jue wants you to surrender first and then think of a way to kill us when both of us are injured. At that time, she can just sit back and watch, and as long as you pretend to be mediocre, you can exchange it for my trust. It's a pity that you were found out and were discovered by me. Now, have you thought of your epitaph? ”

His words were spoken extremely slowly, and his eyes were filled with many complex emotions. His words caused Jiang He's face to turn red and white, and in the end, he bitterly smiled and asked with the corners of his mouth raised, ”How did you find out? I should be afraid of you in the first place, but when I thought of the words' right at the top of my heart isn't afraid of the shadow, 'I immediately stopped being scared. I, Jiang He, am loyal to the Fire Nation, so I beg that my conscience is clear, that I may face the heavens and the earth! ”

It was unknown when he heard Jiang He's words, but he could only laugh coldly. His pair of eyes stared at him with incomparable ferocity. ”Evidence?” This is the evidence. The person who sent you the message just escaped! ”

Jiang He looked at the words written on it, and the emotions in his eyes changed in an instant. After that, he gradually returned to his calm self, ”Commander Yan, this sheepskin scroll is a fake, and it is not a method for the empress of the Greenwood Kingdom to contact me. Furthermore, the empress of the Greenwood Kingdom will not be that stupid, and you will definitely not be able to find any clues so easily.”

The expression on his face didn't change as he looked coldly at Jiang He and Jiang Li. Then, he parted his lips slightly and spat out a word, ”Search.”

The soldiers under him started their own search. They knew how to observe the situation, so they did not know that the look in his eyes explained everything. He had said that word with destructive emotion, so there was no need for them to be polite.

That's my family's antique vase. It's been here for hundreds of years. You can't fall, you can't fall …” ”AHH!” Bastard, I'll kill you!

”You're not allowed to touch my things! I spent a lot of money to buy those. Do you hear me when I tell you not to touch them?”

After Jiang Li made a ruckus for a while, Luo Qingqing also appeared. She had no idea what was going on, but seeing his indifferent expression, she didn't dare to say anything. She could only cry at the side with sparkling tears on her face.

Just as he was about to speak, a small soldier suddenly appeared in front of them. In his hand was a brocade box, and he handed it over to Yan He who did not know, ”Commander, we found this under the main bed of River City. There is a lock on it that cannot be opened.”

He took the embroidered box from the soldier's hands and glanced at Jiang He. ”Mayor Jiang, I don't need to ask how this embroidered box should be opened, do I?”

Jiang He's face turned pale as he retreated a few steps back. He gritted his teeth and looked as if he had a guilty conscience.

Madame Jiang, Jiang Li, and Luo Qingqing were all shocked by Jiang He's expression. In his impression, Jiang He was always confident. Even when he encountered something that made him heartbroken, he had never shown such a desperate expression.
