Chapter 839: Very irritating
Jiang Ren stepped back quickly, pulled out the long sword hanging on the wall, and held it tightly.
He held the sword and his palms soon began to sweat.
This made him feel sad.
If his body hadn't been in such trouble, he would have rushed out with his sword in hand by now.
Why do you need to hide in the house like this?
It's so sad! He is a general, but his palms are wet after holding the sword for a while.
If people knew how useless he is now, would he still be able to keep his position as general?
"boom!"
The door was kicked open.
At this moment, Jiang Ren suddenly regretted returning to the study.
What is he doing back?
If he wasn't in the study, there would be no need to explain why he didn't even dare to open the door after fighting outside for so long.
He is not a coward.
But now he was standing here, with the door kicked open, and he felt a little embarrassed.
"Where are you coming from?!"
Jiang Ren gathered his strength and shouted angrily.
The person who just kicked the door open then retreated to the side of the door.
Someone was walking slowly outside.
Jiang Ren saw the two of them walking together.
The two faces came into his sight and his pupils shrank.
King of King!
He could recognize it.
He had met Prince Jin before, and Prince Jin was a little bit similar to the Emperor when he was young, and the Crown Prince now.
This face is obviously a member of the royal family.
At this age and with this appearance, who else could he be other than Prince Jin?
The girl following Prince Jin can only be Lu Zhaoling!
It is said that after the marriage was granted, the Prince of Jin was quite attentive to the future Princess of Jin. It was said that he thought she was fun, so he stayed with her all the time.
However, they all used to think that Prince Jin thought Lu Zhaoling was fun and too boring, so he wanted to find a companion to live a dissolute life with him and do nothing together.
Jiang Ren's heart sank.
The Prince of Jin really came to the southwest, the news was correct.
But what exactly is he here for?
"General Jiang."
Zhou Shiyue brought Lu Zhaoling in.
When Lu Zhaoling saw Jiang Ren, she squeezed his arm.
Zhou Shiyue understood what she meant by this little movement.
This person is indeed Jiang Ren, not a fake.
Jiang Yongmiao followed behind and came in.
"Dad." She called softly.
She was still a little afraid of this father.
People outside always said that their father had a kind face and was very good to their family, but Jiang Yongmiao always felt that her father was quite majestic and had very strict requirements for them.
She was not close to her father since she was a child, but was closer to her eldest brother.
In the past two years, her father was stricter than kinder to her. He scolded her every time they met and was nicer to Jiang Yongyi.
So Jiang Yongmiao was still a little afraid of him.
Now she has followed Prince Jin and Miss Lu to this point. She was the one who brought them here, so no matter what the result is, she will regret it.
I don’t know if my father will be angry and disappointed with her when he knows that it was her who brought the prince here?
"Yong Miao?"
Jiang Ren looked at her again.
He was very curious as to why Jiang Yongmiao appeared with Prince Jin and the others.
But Jiang Yongmiao has been making too much trouble recently, and he has lost his patience with this daughter. Now when he saw her here, his first reaction was, she actually found Prince Jin and wanted to ask Prince Jin to help her force her to tell him the whereabouts of her eldest brother?
"Jiang Ren, meet His Royal Highness Prince Jin."
After thinking for a while, Jiang Ren retracted his sword and clasped his fists to Zhou Shiyue.
He was the great general of the southwest, but he just bowed to an idle prince who had no military power.
"I heard that General Jiang was seriously ill, so I came to visit him."
Zhou Shiyue said this and walked straight to Jiang Ren's desk.
Just when Jiang Ren thought that Prince Jin was going to sit down on his chair, he saw Prince Jin reach out and take Lu Zhaoling over and let her sit down on his chair.
Prince Jin himself was standing next to her.
It seems like Lu Zhaoling is the leader, and Prince Jin is just a follower, just a personal bodyguard.
Lu Zhaoling sat there with a relaxed attitude, as if it was a matter of course.
She even reached out and picked up a booklet on his desk and started flipping through it.
It's like she is the master here!
This behavior immediately ignited Jiang Ren's anger.
A young girl actually sat behind the desk of a great general and rummaged through the things on his desk!
What if there is intelligence from the military?
"lay down!"
Jiang Ren shouted in a deep voice.
A normal girl, if treated with such an expression and tone by him, would definitely tremble with her hands and put the things down immediately.
For example, Jiang Yongmiao's hands trembled when she heard him shouting.
She looked at Lu Zhaoling with some worry.
Father, please don’t scare Miss Lu!
As a result, Lu Zhaoling did not even pause in flipping the book in her hand, and she did not even raise her head, as if she did not hear his voice.
Instead, Zhou Shiyue's face darkened.
"The general is so majestic."
"Your Highness Prince Jin! This is my study! I command tens of thousands of soldiers, guard the southwest, and handle important military affairs. What is your intention in letting a woman rummage through my things?"
Even if this matter involves His Majesty the Golden Throne, he is right!
"This princess can flip through it if she wants to, and can read it if she wants to. Why should she put in any intention?"
Zhou Shiyue replied lightly.
"I would like to ask the general, since you have tens of thousands of soldiers under your command and are responsible for important military affairs, why have you rarely been to the barracks in the past two years and have been staying here to grow mushrooms?"
"Why, there are so few military affairs in the southwest, and the general is so idle?"
Zhou Shiyue looked at Jiang Ren with an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. It was hard to tell whether he was really playing or serious.
Jiang Ren glanced outside the door and his heart sank again.
Because his personal soldiers had been detained, and those outside were all the Prince of Jin's men.
No, the Prince of Jin is definitely not here to play.
"I am ill. I have written a memorial to the emperor about this matter. The emperor has approved it and given me an oral instruction, asking me to rest and recuperate..."
Jiang Ren responded calmly.
But before he could finish his words, Zhou Shiyue interrupted him with a snort.
"That's because the emperor doesn't know at all. You said you would take good care of yourself, but you didn't even go to the military camp for such a long time. You also let a daughter of unknown origin pass on military orders on your behalf and interfere in military affairs at will."
"The emperor asked you to rest and recuperate, but he never thought that with General Jiang leading tens of thousands of soldiers guarding here, someone could still massacre a village."
Zhou Shiyue’s words made Jiang Ren’s face turn pale.
"Your Majesty, are you here for the matter of Cuosha Village?" he asked.
His people were all under control, so what about the army? Yongyi should be in the barracks now, but the King of Jin might not be there yet.
"No," Zhou Shiyue said, "I am here to visit the patient on behalf of the emperor."
Jiang Ren froze.
This is quite ironic.
