Chapter 391: I just acted on impulse!

~6 min read 1,090 words

"Mother, is the song you sang also the Empty City Stratagem?" Ning Hanmo furrowed his brows, asking seriously.

The other two little ones also turned their heads to look over.

Jiang Yunchu shook her head, "I just acted on impulse!"

……

The three children frowned, looking unconvinced.

"Mother, your safety is very important now; the current court situation makes you a breakthrough point—whether it's the Regent Prince's Manor, the imperial palace, or the Kang and Jiang mansions, you are that linking point."

"If you break through here, many connections will scatter."

"Moreover, the Regent Prince's Manor collapses without attack; once the person in charge falls, the manor is nothing to fear." The little one frowned, looking at his mother, speaking softly.

He was worried—the mountain bandits that time, the assassination in Qing feng City, one after another, all shocked him deeply.

"Also, your presence connects the Han Manor, Yong Bo Marquis Manor, the Kang Manor, and the Jiangnan Zhuang Clan and General Jiang's Manor."

"Your connections are significant." Jia Chuan spoke.

Ning Qiancheng looked at the Dean; they two were overthinking due to concern, though he also cared, even wanting that position, half the reason being the Dean.

But…

He didn't believe the Dean had no backup.

The Empty City Stratagem truly is an empty city, with no one to use, facing many with few.

But now the Dean doesn't need to sing the Empty City Stratagem; they have someone…

Unless!

"There's a plan!" Ning Qiancheng and Ning Hanmo said in unison; Jia Chuan frowned, momentarily unable to react.

Jiang Yunchu lightly laughed, "These little rascals aren't easy to fool!"

As her words fell, the three kids looked at each other—indeed, the Dean's mouth is a lying ghost!

"Bai Zhi." At this moment, Jiang Yunchu called out.

"Those who followed us withdrew at the city gate; just now, Shadow sent news—no one is tailing us." Bai Zhi replied immediately.

"Good, fast horses, whip them!" Jiang Yunchu lightly laughed.

"Got it, let's go!" The coachman outside shouted loudly, laughing, "Hahaha——"

It was indeed Ning Chengyan's man, General Ha guarding Jingdu.

After going another twenty li, "Master, we've arrived."

Bai Zhi opened the carriage door; Jiang Yunchu glanced at the three children, "Get down."

"Yes!" The three children turned solemn, immediately obeying.

Inside the carriage, Jiang Yunchu changed into another outfit—though still female attire, it was much lighter, not hindering her movements at all.

"Change horses!"

Jiang Yunchu mounted, to hide the Blaze, she no longer rode Blaze when appearing as the Regent Prince's Consort; that little creature had been angry, soothed only after a long while.

"Zi Su, stay here!" Jiang Yunchu placed Zi Su; the situation there was still unclear, and she feared she couldn't protect her if Zi Su went over.

"You three, watch from afar; I've thought long about bringing you out this time."

"At your age, seeing blood too early."

"But now the situation forces us to see blood."

She no longer had the carriage's laziness; instead she shouted sternly, "Ready?"

"Ready." The three replied in unison, eyes firm.

Ning Hanmo's hand even trembled slightly—not from fear, but from excitement!

See blood!

Whose blood? The enemy's blood!

Which enemy? The one who hurt Mother!

How could one not be excited? The time for revenge has come!

He gripped the sword hilt, his eyes sharp as a blade; the seven-year-old boy suddenly exuded an aura from his sword.

Seeing this, Jiang Yunchu blinked; it seemed the second weapon could finally be sent out.

The first, the Silver Spear, thrusting like a dragon; after so long of practice, Kang Wen went from dragging it on the ground to wielding it freely.

The second is the Gentleman's Sword, perhaps.

Though not a true Gentleman's Sword, a Gentleman's imitation sword will do.

"Depart!"

Jiang Yunchu lightly smiled, then squeezed the horse's belly, taking the lead and charging straight out.

Bai Zhi closely followed; the three little ones immediately caught up; General Ha looked at the five charging out, laughed, "This consort, indeed worthy of being the Regent Prince's Consort."

Pleasing to the eye!

"Consort!"

At the foot of an unnamed mountain, when Jiang Yunchu arrived, many people had already gathered; "Since everyone's here, let's charge up."

Her grudge, Ning Hanmo's grudge, Yue Yue's grudge, and the grudge of the Da Ning border folk—it's time to settle it.

Let's start from this mountain!

"Kill!"

"Charge!"

In a moment, everyone rushed up; all mountain passes voluntarily left people behind; Jiang Yunchu's steps were light, Bai Zhi guarded her right, Ning Hanmo her left, Jia Chuan and Ning Qiancheng guarded her rear—they trusted no one but their own.

"Who are you? This is private property; what do you want?" At this moment, a man in black emerged, his whole face dark, eyes flicking at the crowd, bewildered—this place had existed for years, how could so many suddenly appear?

Which side are they from? What is their purpose?

"The person who wants your life!"

Jiang Yunchu's soft sword at her waist was drawn directly; one slash, wiped this person's neck.

"Information?"

Damn the information, according to those people's temperament, extracting information takes time and means, too wasteful of time, she also fears those people destroying the evidence.

"Let me charge in and kill!"

"Yes!"

In a moment, they became entangled in battle.

The green grass, at some point, turned red; the tree trunks, at some point, were splashed with red flowers; the fresh flowers, at some point, withered and fell, tears staining the kerchief.

"Kill!"

"Who are you? Why are you fighting here?"

"This is the Jiang residence; who are you?"

"Bold commoner, dare to attack the place of an imperial court official."

Jiang Yunchu snorted coldly, "Then I want to know, which Jiang residence?"

"Jiang Wen Fu's Grand General manor, hurry up and retreat?" That person hearing it thought, "Could these people really be refugee mountain bandits?"

But...

Looking at their weapons, he was uncertain again.

"Heh—"

Jiang Yunchu coldly laughed, "Hey, if it were another household, I wouldn't readily move, but since it's the Jiang residence, let me have these people all slaughtered."

"Yes!"

The person who had just stopped is now moving again; a living mouth? Not even a bit!

"Who exactly are you?" That person narrowed his eyes; he had never seen this woman, certainly hadn't offended her.

"Jiang, Yun, Chu!"

She hooked her lips; just as the name fell, the scarlet Red Dawn, directly severed that person's vitality, before death clearing up doubts, she is this kind of benevolent person.
