Mr. Bodyguard Novel - Chapter 567
Chapter 567 Bite the Hand That Feeds One
On the roof of the third floor of Fragrant Picking Garden, Jiang Feng was lying on a tile, looking at the scenery in the sky at dusk.
Not long after, Jiang Tianliu also reached the roof. He gently walked to Jiang Feng’s side and sat down. He followed Jiang Feng’s gaze and looked up into the sky.
“What are you thinking?” Jiang Tianliu asked.
“There are many things that I can’t explain in a few words.”
“Then tell me clearly in five words and six languages.”
Jiang Feng glanced at Jiang Tianliu. After a moment of silence, he began to say, “I’m thinking about three things.”
“Huh?”
“The first is my wives. The heavens and earth have undergone such great changes. I wonder if they were affected in the Ancient Desolate Mysterious Land, or if they are living well in the Mysterious Land.
The second is my friends, Mu Tou, Lao Lu, Shangguan Yue Fu … I really want to find them quickly.
As for the third one, it’s actually the most difficult thing to weigh in my heart right now … ”
Jiang Feng looked at Jiang Tianliu and said, “The third thing I was thinking about was, shouldn’t we go back to the Mu Clan?”
Jiang Tianliu didn’t care much about the first two things Jiang Feng said.
However, Jiang Tianliu’s expression instantly became serious when it came to the third item.
He frowned slightly and asked, “Are you afraid that we will implicate the Mu Clan?”
Jiang Feng shook his head. “Whether or not they will be implicated depends on how the Mu Clan is prepared to deal with them, and then how we deal with them.”
“I was fooled by you.” Jiang Tianliu noticed something very serious. He was a Primordial Chaos Sacred Body in perfect condition, and his physical body was so powerful that it could destroy the heavens and the earth with every move.
However, even though he possessed such powerful strength, he was still unable to surpass Jiang Feng in terms of IQ.
Jiang Feng sighed and began to explain the meaning of his words.
Inside the Mu Clan’s backyard, Mu Zhengrong was kneeling on the ground waiting for Old Master Mu Qingfeng to order what to do next.
The first thing Mu Zhengrong did when he returned home at noon was to tell Mu Qingfeng that Jiang Feng and Jiang Tianliu had appeared to help the Mu Clan resolve the Leng Clan’s invasion. Then, he proposed to go to the National Fragrance Pavilion to celebrate. Then, he told Mu Qingfeng everything that had happened at the National Fragrance Pavilion in detail.
After listening to Mu Zhengrong’s report, Mu Qingfeng immediately used Jiang Tianliu and Jiang Feng’s names to deduce. In the end, he was unable to deduce any specific good or bad luck.
Now that dusk had arrived and the sun was about to set, Mu Qingfeng finally let out a long sigh from behind the golden silk curtain after thinking for a long time.
“Do it, Zhengrong. Capture Jiang Feng and Jiang Tianliu and send them to the Xia Long Zhi Xia Manor Master’s side.”
“Patriarch, do you really want to do this? The two of them have helped our Mu Clan. Will we treat them like this …”
“Foolish!”
Before Mu Zhengrong could finish his sentence, Mu Qingfeng roared and cursed at Mu Zhengrong.
Mu Qingfeng said, “Don’t you see the current situation clearly? Since the Third Prince killed Xia Longzhi’s son, Xia Longzhi can’t do anything to the Third Prince, but she definitely won’t let it go. Therefore, he will definitely report this matter to the First Prince.”
You still don’t know how the First Prince behaves in the Immortal Dynasty?
The Third Prince’s killing of Xia Longzhi’s son in public was equivalent to a loud slap on First Prince’s face. Next, First Prince will surely retaliate.
Among the people present, the Third Prince and Lu Wanding were tough bones. If the First Prince tried to forcefully chew them down, it would cripple his strength. “But our Mu Clan is different. Our Mu Clan can be annihilated at any time under the orders of the First Prince.”
“But our Mu Clan did not interfere in this matter. At that time, I deliberately hid a little, but I was just afraid …”
At this point, Mu Zhengrong could no longer continue.
Because of what he said just now, he thought for a moment, and it seemed that even he could not be convinced.
He had given the order to go to the National Fragrance Pavilion to celebrate. More than half of the Mu Clan had gone, including Jiang Feng and Jiang Tianliu.
The reason for this was Jiang Feng, who was also the Mu Clan’s alchemist and artificer that he had publicly announced.
Therefore, no matter what, the Mu Clan could not be separated from this matter. Moreover, if the Mu Clan were to accidentally be suspected by the First Prince of joining the Third Prince’s faction, then the calamity of the Mu Clan’s destruction would soon come to an end.
When Mu Zhengrong thought of this, he didn’t have the slightest hesitation in his heart. He immediately stood up and said to Mu Qingfeng, “Patriarch, Zhengrong will go capture Jiang Feng and Jiang Tianliu now.”
When Mu Zhengrong was about to walk out of the gate of Chongde Hall, Mu Qingfeng’s voice entered Mu Zhengrong’s ears.
“When you send Jiang Feng to Xia Longzhi, don’t forget to tell him that Jiang Feng is someone who can form talismans in the void and refine the Nine Cloud Patterns Karma Elimination Pill. If you do so, you might be able to save Jiang Feng’s life.”
“Yes.” Mu Zhengrong paused for a moment before continuing forward.
Mu Zhengrong understood what it meant to be an “old man.” This ancestor of his didn’t want to save Jiang Feng’s life. He clearly wanted First Prince to know about Jiang Feng’s preciousness, so that he could take a credit for this matter and turn bad things into good things.
However, no matter what, Mu Qingfeng’s calculations were based on the interests of the Mu Clan. Therefore, even though Mu Zhengrong hated such calculations, he couldn’t help but secretly decide to follow the method that Mu Qingfeng had reminded him of.
As soon as Mu Zhengrong walked out of the Chongde Palace, he gathered nearly a hundred guards from the Mu Clan. These guards were all first-class experts. Nascent Soul Stage could only be considered the lowest cultivation among these guards.
Although Mu Zhengrong was somewhat fearful of Jiang Tianliu’s strength, in his opinion, with so many people surrounding the two of them, it was enough to capture them.
Jiang Feng, who was still lying on the roof of the Fragrant Picking Garden, finished explaining all of his deductions to Jiang Tianliu. In the end, Jiang Feng concluded.
“So I’ve already decided that if the Mu Clan really sends people to capture us, I’ll go with them. After all, this is because of me. I can’t let the Mu Clan be implicated.”
“Have you really decided? If the Mu Clan really gave you to that Xia Longzhi, you will die.”
Although Jiang Tianliu asked Jiang Feng like this, he felt very comforted in his heart.
Although his younger brother’s bloodline did not show the slightest sign of awakening, this Jiang family man’s indomitable personality was the same. He did not lose face with the Jiang family man in the slightest.
Jiang Feng shook his head after hearing Jiang Tianliu’s words and lazily said, “Don’t worry, they won’t kill me. I’m a person who can refine the Nine Cloud Patterns Karma Elimination Pill. Although I don’t know how amazing this is, from what they say, it should be quite valuable.”
“They’re here.”
Jiang Tianliu looked at the entrance of the Fragrant Picking Garden with a cold tone.
Although Jiang Tianliu appreciated Jiang Feng’s responsibility, it did not mean that he felt that it was the right thing for the Mu Clan to capture Jiang Feng and hand him over to Xia Longzhi.
This kind of behavior is a kind of selfishness, a kind of revenge for kindness, no matter what angle it comes from.
Mu Zhengrong and Mudieya were shocked when they heard about this. They rushed to the Fragrant Picking Garden and happened to meet Mu Qingrou and bring people into the Fragrant Picking Garden.
“Father!” Mu Qingrou called out to Mu Zhengrong. Mu Zhengrong stopped and looked at Mu Qingrou. Mu Qingrou jumped over and landed beside Mu Zhengrong.
“Father, why did you bring so many people to the Fragrant Picking Garden?”
“Rou’er, don’t worry about what Father wants to do. Anyway … In short, our Mu Clan has wronged Jiang Feng.”
Mu Zhengrong’s expression changed drastically as soon as Mu Qingrou said those words. The pale Mu Qingrou looked at Mu Zhengrong in shock. At this moment, it was as if she no longer recognized Mu Zhengrong. Mu Qingrou’s entire body trembled and she retreated.
Only when Mu Qingrou’s body collided with Mu Dieya did she react. She quickly shouted, “Jiang Feng! Run! My father wants to harm you!”
Mu Zhengrong’s expression changed slightly. He gritted his teeth and ordered.
“Keep an eye on Third Miss and take her back to her boudoir. Everyone else is surrounded by Xiangxie Garden. No one is allowed …”
“No need, Master Mu Clan. I knew you would come, so I’ve been waiting for you. If I’m not mistaken, you’re taking me to the Xia Clan of Ningyuan Prefecture, right? That’s good. It would be nice to see how dignified the Xia Clan is.”
Jiang Feng and Jiang Tianliu strolled over from the room.
The Mu Clan guards quickly surrounded Jiang Feng and Jiang Tianliu. The corner of Jiang Feng’s mouth still had that iconic smile on it. He looked at Mu Qingrou, who was already covered in tears, and cupped his hands.
“Third young miss, you have feelings and righteousness. Jiang Feng will definitely treat third young miss to two good drinks with the best wine if we are destined to meet again in the future.”
Jiang Feng said to Mu Zhengrong, “Lord Mu Clan, this is because of me. My third brother has nothing to do with this. Just take it to Xia Longzhi. My third brother …”
“A lot of nonsense. Since you call me Third Brother, can I leave you alone?”
Jiang Tianliu looked at Mu Zhengrong and smiled. “I believe that the Mu Clan Master, who has always repaid the kindness of the righteous Baoyun Heaven, will definitely greet us with delicious food and drink on our brother’s way to Ningyuan Manor, right?”
Mu Zhengrong’s expression froze as he saw that Jiang Feng and Jiang Tianliu were unable to utter a single word.
Especially when Jiang Feng had already guessed that the Mu Clan would treat him like this, but not only did he not run, he was still waiting for them in the Fragrant Picking Garden. Mu Zhengrong felt even more guilty towards Jiang Feng.
After a long stand-off, Mu Zhengrong finally sighed and said to Jiang Feng, “Jiang Feng, the Mu Clan has wronged you.”
After saying that, Mu Zhengrong made a “please” gesture, signaling Jiang Feng to follow him.
Jiang Feng and Jiang Tianliu didn’t say anything else and followed the Mu Clan guards out.
Watching Jiang Feng leave, Mu Qingrou cried out in sorrow, “Jiang Feng! You can’t go with them, you’ll die! Don’t go with them, run! Run!”
Jiang Feng did not look back at Mu Qingrou, but he remembered her tears and cries of sorrow.
This was a kindness that Jiang Feng was willing to remember even if he didn’t have the chance to repay.
The servants of the Mu Clan had already set up the elephant carriage pulled by the Cloud-hoofed Golden Elephant. Mu Zhengrong personally followed and made nine elephant carriages with nearly a hundred guards.
The driver chanted a curse and the golden elephant immediately ran out.
It was as fast as the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it was a hundred meters away …
