614 The General receives the Decree
Guo Bing then turned to the dazed head butler Jiang Tianping and said sarcastically, ” I say, head butler Jiang, what are you mumbling about? What did you mean by that? Are you not happy that the general is back? So that’s why you said it’s impossible?”
Jiang Tianping took a while to react. Jiang Zhennan had really returned unscathed.
The uneasiness and fear in his heart instantly swelled. Listening to Guo Bing’s words, he was as if he was on edge. He immediately knelt down in front of Jiang Zhennan and cried, ” general, you’re finally back. I thought, I thought, I thought…”
Jiang Zhennan continued his words sharply, ” you think that I will never come back, right? ”
After Jiang Zhennan finished speaking, he sneered and immediately ordered, ” guards! Take the butler to the woodshed and guard him strictly. We will deal with him later!”
“yes, general!” little 38 and little 42 immediately replied.
Then, they took away the head butler, Jiang Tianping, who was lying on the ground with an ashen face.
Seeing Jiang Zhennan lock Jiang Tianping up in the woodshed without any mercy, waiting for his punishment, Jiang Wen and Jiang Zhenye were immediately so scared that they didn’t even dare to breathe. They no longer had the overbearing aura that they had when they were about to beat and kill the general’s soldiers. They lowered their heads, their hands trembled, and their legs couldn’t help but tremble. At this moment, if there was a gap that they could crawl into, they would immediately escape.
“Men, ” Jiang Zhennan did not even look at them. He only called for his subordinates to come over.
“Your subordinate is here!” Two guards immediately stepped forward.
“Send young master Jiang and young lady Jiang back to the Marquis mansion safely. Also, send a message to the Marquis and his wife. The defender general’s Manor is small and cannot accommodate young master Jiang and young miss Jiang. If there’s a next time, then I don’t mind personally going to the Marquis’ mansion to have a chat!”
These words were very obvious. This was a warning to Jiang Yunfeng and Wen Yujing, not to have any ideas about the defender General’s mansion. Otherwise, he would use his identity as the first young master of the Marquis’ court to fight for the title of Marquis!
He believed that with the emperor’s favoritism for Jiang Zhennan, there was still a certain chance of winning the title.
He believed that as long as Jiang Yunfeng and Wen Yujing were smart people, they would naturally know what to do.
“Yes, general!” The subordinate immediately replied excitedly.
In the past, before the general returned, Jiang Zhenye and Jiang Wen had acted arrogantly in the general’s residence. The general had only ordered people to drive them out but had not given any warning to the Marquis’ court.
This time, the general who had been missing for half a year had returned and given the Marquis’ court a warning.
He believed that the Marquis, Jiang Yunfeng, and the Marquis’ wife, Wen Yujing, would not dare to make any rash moves for a period of time!
After finishing these two things, Jiang Zhennan no longer said anything. Wearing his silver armor, he walked towards the entrance of the defender General’s mansion.
The answer was obvious. He was going to the entrance to receive eunuch Liu and the others to receive the Imperial edict!
Just as eunuch Liu and the others were secretly wondering if they should make another trip to the toilet, they saw the general. He was wearing silver armor and leading a group of people of all sizes from the general’s residence to welcome them with big strides.
As soon as Jiang Zhennan came out, he stepped forward and apologized, “Eunuch Liu, I’ve made you wait for a long time! It’s all my fault for wasting too much time.” He coughed a few times as he spoke.
He was pretending to be sick.
Little sixteen had already given him a secret signal earlier, so of course, he had to continue acting.
Eunuch Liu immediately greeted him with a smile, ” general-in-chief, you’re being too serious! You’re sick, so you should rest well. After all, you’re the protector of our country, and we can’t afford to lose you!”
Then, he saw Guo Bing and immediately beamed with joy. Oh, young master Guo, you’re here too!
Guo Bing replied with a smile, “Eunuch Liu, don’t you know that I’ve admired general Jiang since I was a child? Why won’t I be with the general?”
Eunuch Liu smiled but did not answer.
Jiang Zhennan made an inviting gesture and said, ” eunuch Liu, please!
Just as they were about to step into the general’s residence, two sharp voices came from inside.
“Let go of this young miss, you dog slaves. Let go of me!”
“Batard things, you don’t even know who this young master is. Quickly take your dirty hands away!”
When the guards led Jiang Zhenye and Jiang Wen out of the gate, they happened to meet eunuch Liu and the others.
Eunuch Liu frowned and asked, “great general, this …”
“I’m just sending them back to where they came from, ” Jiang Zhennan said coldly.
