The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Chapter 207 Dark 3 God Assists

In the carriage, Jiang Li held his mother Xie Lan tightly, their bodies trembling slightly, their hearts beating rapidly, and fear surged into their hearts like a tide. They held their breath and listened attentively to every sound coming from outside.

The fierce collision of weapons, the sharp and piercing sound of metal friction, and the horrifying muffled sound of weapons piercing the skin seemed particularly clear and loud in this closed carriage. It was as if these horrible sounds were echoing in their ears, making the faces of the mother and daughter even paler, and they even trembled uncontrollably while holding each other's hands.

"Mother, don't be afraid! There are secret guards sent by the prince guarding outside. I believe they will be able to quickly resolve this crisis!" Jiang Li pretended to be calm and gently comforted the terrified Xie Lan beside him. Xie Lan nodded slightly after hearing this, but the fear in his eyes had not dissipated.

Time passed by, and the noise outside gradually disappeared. Jiang Li's heart tightened, and after hesitating for a moment, she slowly lifted a corner of the curtain with her trembling hands that were almost uncontrollable. With the faint flickering candlelight, she saw at a glance that the spear in her second brother Jiang Ying's hand was stained with blood and flashed a strange red light in the night.

"Second brother, how are you? Are you injured? How about the eldest brother and the third brother? Are they okay?" Jiang Li could no longer care about anything else and blurted out a series of concerned words. When Xie Lan heard his daughter's question, he immediately cast his anxious eyes towards Jiang Ying, his eyes full of worry and uneasiness.

Jiang Ying took a deep breath, tried to calm his rapid breathing, then put away his spear and turned to face the mother and daughter. He first looked behind him in the direction of his eldest brother and third brother, and after confirming that they were correct, he shook his head gently and comforted them: "It's okay, Li'er, don't worry. All the assassins have been dealt with by us. You should get back to the carriage and sit down, and don't come out. There is blood and chaos everywhere, which is really not what you should see." After that, he signaled the coachman to continue on the road and escorted the carriage away from this troubled place quickly.

After Jiang Li heard that her eldest and third brothers were safe, her tense heartstrings finally relaxed and she breathed a sigh of relief. However, just a moment later, Mu Jiuchen's mysterious and powerful secret guards suddenly appeared in her mind. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but frowned slightly, and then asked the person in front of her: "Second brother, I wonder how the prince's secret guards are doing now? Are there any injured?"

At this moment, the secret guards outside the carriage heard Jiang Li's concerned words, and suddenly all turned their eyes to the carriage. These secret guards have been strictly trained since childhood to perform various dangerous tasks for their masters. On weekdays, even if they were injured in action, they always silently treated their wounds by themselves, and never dared to slack off. Although their masters never treated them badly, it was the first time that they were so cared for by someone like today. For a moment, a warm current surged in everyone's hearts, and they were full of respect and goodwill for the woman who was about to become the mistress of the palace.

At this time, An San, who was in charge of leading the group of secret guards to come to support, stepped forward, saluted respectfully towards the carriage, and then responded: "Thank you Miss Jiang for your concern. All of us secret guards are fine, just some minor injuries."

"Master Tutor, Madam, Mr. Jiang and Miss Jiang are now safe and sound, you may all return home without any worries. I will arrange several people to follow closely behind the carriage and continue to protect you all. In addition, I will deal with these men in black properly, and carefully investigate their origins and backgrounds." After An San finished speaking, he directed his men in an orderly manner to start cleaning up the bodies of the men in black lying on the ground.

He looked serious, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, as if he could see through all the conspiracies and intrigues. His men moved quickly and neatly, and in a short while, the scene was cleaned up and restored to its previous calm.

At this time, Master Jiang slowly got off the carriage and bowed deeply to An San, expressing his gratitude: "Thank you very much for your help. If you hadn't stepped forward and helped me today, I'm afraid that everyone in my Jiang family would have died here! I will never forget this great kindness!"

Upon seeing this, An San hurriedly stepped forward, returned the salute respectfully, and said with fear and trepidation: "Your Excellency Grand Tutor, you are too kind. The prince has specifically ordered us to protect you all. I am only following the prince's orders." As he spoke, An San was secretly delighted, thinking that his words would surely win more favor for his prince in front of Grand Tutor Jiang.

Hearing this, Master Jiang nodded slightly, with a hint of approval in his eyes: "So that's the case. Then I will go to your house in person someday to thank you for saving my life!" As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and got on the carriage. The coachman whipped his whip and the wheels rolled forward.

Just as Jiang Li raised her hand elegantly, preparing to slowly lower the exquisite curtain and sit down steadily, her smart eyes inadvertently glanced out the window and instantly fixed her sight. At the corner of the street, a seemingly inconspicuous carriage was quietly parked there. Jiang Li's heart jumped suddenly, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity came to her heart. So, she looked carefully again, and she was shocked when she saw it - it turned out that the person sitting in the front driving position of the carriage was Changfeng! This discovery made Jiang Li suddenly realize that since Changfeng was here, it meant that Mu Jiuchen had been quietly following behind their carriage! Moreover, he not only sent secret guards to protect himself, but even went out in person. This concern was really touching.

Thinking of this, Jiang Li felt a warm current surge from the bottom of her heart, quickly spreading throughout her body. It was so wonderful to feel cared for and taken care of at this moment! Unconsciously, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and a smile as bright and warm as a spring flower bloomed. That smile was like the sunlight penetrating the mist in the morning, bright and moving.

Xie Lan, who was in the same car with Jiang Li, naturally noticed the sudden smile on her face. Seeing Jiang Li's appearance as if she had forgotten the danger of the assassination just now, Xie Lan couldn't help but wonder: What's wrong with this child? After experiencing such a thrilling assassination, it stands to reason that he should be in fear, but his son can still smile at this moment. He is really carefree!
