Chapter 484: Chapter 253: Made Master Luoxue Angry_2

"So, when Meiniang tried to kill you just now, it was merely because she was too confident and recognized you, wanting to steal the business."

Jiang Shouzhong spoke indifferently, "I understand now. Meiniang has always been lurking by Shan Dongchuan’s side; her mission was to silence him. After all, Shan Dongchuan knew too much. Once he was captured or showed any abnormalities, the best method was to make him shut up in time."

In fact, Jiang Shouzhong had suspected this for some time.

After all, if Meiniang’s target was him, she would not have attempted to kill Shan Dongchuan first in the carriage.

Moreover, having "disappeared" for so many days, no matter how formidable the assassins were, they could not have just appeared suddenly at that moment.

Otherwise, it would be too miraculous.

However, even so, Jiang Shouzhong felt a sense of dread towards this assassin organization.

If a Meiniang was so formidable, then in what manner would the genuine assassin who was out to kill him appear?

This was also why he had let Meiniang go just now.

He hoped to lure the fish out with this.

At that moment, a cluster of fireworks slowly rose in the distance, seemingly someone sending a signal.

The Monkey glanced at the fireworks and said lightly, "Jiang Mo, I ask you one last time, are you willing to collaborate with us?"

Jiang Shouzhong chuckled, "If I decided not to collaborate with you guys, would you silence me since I know too much?"

Monkey shook his head with a smile, "Of course not, I won’t kill you. I’ve said that we have no direct conflicts of interest, and you pose no threat to us. Since you don’t intend to collaborate, I won’t insist. We’ll meet again someday."

The Monkey’s figure flickered and he vanished into the night.

Jiang Shouzhong stared in the direction the other had left, pondered for a long time, then returned to the carriage.

Gazing at Shan Dongchuan’s corpse inside the carriage, Jiang Shouzhong muttered, "Who says the dead can’t speak.

Jiang Shouzhong closed his eyes.

Accompanied by that strange sensation, the surroundings quietly transformed, as if the sky was falling, plunging into absolute darkness.

At the same time, a very sticky, almost tangible black liquid substance began to emerge from nothing, rapidly spreading, greedily devouring every inch of visible space like a living creature,

As Shan Dongchuan’s drooping head suddenly stiffened and raised, revealing a sinister, creepy smile.

"Shan Dongchuan, who is behind you?"

"Wan Yan... Wu Hai..."

Wan Yan Wu Hai?

Jiang Shouzhong pondered for a moment, then realized, "So, it’s him. I should have thought of this."

The man from Nanjin Country at the Ancient Brahma Temple, debating with Master Luoxue.

"Who is he?"

Jiang Shouzhong continued to ask.

Shan Dongchuan mechanically opened his mouth to reply, "Nanjin Country... Emperor’s... illegitimate son..."

He’s actually a Prince.

The thick black liquid quickly enveloped the two men, swallowing more than half of their bodies.

Jiang Shouzhong knew time was limited, so he continued to inquire, "Is Qingzhou’s richest man Zhang Fuwang also one of you?"

"Yes... his father... Nanjin Country man... his name... Wan Yan Wang..."

So, this fat man is from Nanjin Country.

Jiang Shouzhong silently noted down the name "Wan Yan Wang" and asked, "What are you planning to do in Qingzhou?"

"Seize... Qingzhou..."

"How will you seize it? Is Nanjin Country planning to send a great army to attack Qingzhou?"

"Rebels... uprising... seize the opportunity..."

Rebels!?

Jiang Shouzhong was shocked.

So there really were people in Qingzhou planning a rebellion.

Jiang Shouzhong hurriedly asked, "When do you plan to rebel?"

But before Shan Dongchuan could answer, the black liquid had already covered his lips, and Jiang Shouzhong could no longer ask any questions.

The next moment, he was back in reality.

Fortunately, the side effects of this conversation with the dead were not severe, and Jiang Shouzhong endured the discomfort momentarily before recovering.

Gazing at Shan Dongchuan’s corpse in front of him, Jiang Shouzhong muttered, "There are people in Qingzhou planning to rebel; naturally, many will die. And the Monkeys, they can use this to perform their sacrifice, which is why they are collaborating with Wan Yan Wu Hai."

What now?

Should he notify the officials?

Although he felt indifferent towards the Dazhou Imperial Family, Qingzhou was still home to so many innocent people. Even without playing the saint, he could not just stand by and watch."

Would anyone believe him?

It was only now that Jiang Shouzhong understood why he had been falsely accused of being a spy for Nanjin Country.

With such an identity, no one would believe what he said.

Perhaps only Yuan Anjiang would.

Hearing noisy footsteps in the distance, it was clear that a Government Official had noticed something unusual and had come to check. Jiang Shouzhong sighed, as it seemed he could only return and plan anew before making any decisions.

By the time the Government Official appeared at the street corner, Jiang Shouzhong had already vanished into the night.

——

Within the tranquil courtyard.

The white lanterns swayed slightly, casting mottled light and shadows.

Under the eaves, a woman as pure as snow held a silver needle and thread, focusing intently on sewing clothes. Her serene disposition made it hard for anyone to dare disturb this peace and beauty.

Gazing at the woman’s gentle and quiet profile, Jiang Shouzhong was momentarily lost in thought.

It was as if his wife was sitting under the eaves at home, sewing clothes while waiting for her husband to return.

Jiang Shouzhong walked up to the woman, coughed lightly, and said sheepishly, "I’m sorry, Master, I’m a bit late in returning. You see, I’m really tired tonight, perhaps... we could skip tonight’s lesson."

Master Luoxue hummed in response.

Jiang Shouzhong was a bit stunned.

He had thought she was unapproachable, but she had agreed so easily.

This was indeed a warm master.

Jiang Shouzhong said with a smile, "Thank you, Master, I’ll go take a bath first."

"Wait a moment."

Master Luoxue lowered her head to bite off the thread, shook the roughly sewn clothes, and said softly to Jiang Shouzhong, "Take off your clothes, let’s try them on to see if they fit. If they don’t, I’ll alter them."

"Oh."

Jiang Shouzhong took off his coat.

As he was about to take the clothes, the woman took the initiative to help him put them on.

Master Luoxue gently smoothed out the minor wrinkles on the sleeves and said softly, "If anything feels uncomfortable, let me know."

"It feels great."

Jiang Shouzhong felt warmth in his heart.

Master Luoxue gently tightened the man’s collar and took a simple belt, wrapping it around the man’s waist, her body inevitably leaning against his.

A delicate, chrysanthemum-like fragrance entered the man’s nostrils.

And that fleeting soft touch.

The belt was neither loose nor too tight, just right. After doing all this, Master Luoxue then carefully adjusted the collar again...

The dim, ancient lamp light shone on the woman’s lowered face.

Her long eyelashes slightly closed, as if each lash were coated with a thin layer of golden light by the dim glow, making her eyes appear more profound.

The surrounding was silent, only the light and shadow intertwined, making her appear even more serene and graceful.

Jiang Shouzhong lowered his head and stared at the woman’s pale, jade-like face. His gaze wandered, sweeping over her lightly trembling, butterfly-wing-like eyelashes, over her exquisite and prominent nose, and finally settling on those cherry blossom-like soft lips...

The lip color was elegantly light, moist and inviting, sparking endless daydreams.

Driven by some impulsive force, Jiang Shouzhong asked, "Master, that kiss in the Daoist School, does it count as your first kiss?"

After asking, Jiang Shouzhong immediately regretted it.

He wished he could slap himself twice.

This indiscreet mouth of his!

Sure enough, the woman’s hands, which were adjusting the collar, suddenly paused.

The lantern under the eaves swayed twice.

In the courtyard, a falling leaf suddenly suspended in midair.

Fortunately, Master Luoxue just flickered her eyelashes but didn’t say anything. After finishing arranging the clothes, she asked, "How is it? Does it fit well?"

"It fits perfectly, Master, you are truly amazing, even the best tailor in the world can’t compare to you."

Jiang Shouzhong hurriedly flattered.

The man felt cold sweat breaking out on his back.

After carefully examining for a while, Master Luoxue nodded in satisfaction, took off the clothes, and sat down in a chair to continue sewing.

Just when Jiang Shouzhong thought he was safe for the evening, he heard Master Luoxue’s cold, flat, and undeniable voice ring out: "Tonight, recite ten articles. For every mistake, you’ll get ten strikes with the ruler."
