Chapter 57: Two People Are Too Young
Shi Liu felt even more uncertain after listening to Jiang Li's words. Could it be that the young lady really liked Master Xie Cibiao? The more she thought about it, the more worried she became. She wanted to pass the news to the prince, but the prince ordered her not to pass on any unimportant things unless it was extremely urgent.
Jiang Xing and Xie Ci walked out of the city gate and started walking quickly. Both of them were martial artists so they got off the carriage and rode on horseback. They knew that the situation in Jiangnan was rather tricky, so they took a few people with them and prepared to go ahead and conduct a secret investigation in advance.
In the Zichen Palace, the two brothers were just like they were yesterday, forming a sharp contrast: one was extremely busy, while the other was leisurely sipping tea.
"Do you think Jiang Xing and Xie Ci can do it? After all, they are too young and may not have enough experience. The relationships among the four cities in Jiangnan are complicated and involve a wide range of people. It is not easy to find out clearly!" Mu Jiurui tightly grasped the red pen and buried his head in the mountain of memorials.
Mu Jiuchen disagreed. He gently stroked the pouch on his waist and said thoughtfully: "People always need to grow up. In the future, there will always be people who can take the lead in these two families." His eyes revealed an expectation and trust in the future.
"As for the future..." Mu Jiurui's eyes revealed a hint of ruthlessness, and his expression was like that of a tiger, chilling. However, in a flash, he chuckled, as if the ruthlessness just now was just an illusion. He turned his eyes to Mu Jiuchen, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and teased with a smile: "What's the matter, the fate hasn't even started yet! You're already turning your elbow outward? You're actually helping others plan the future? Hahahahaha..."
There was a hint of ridicule in Mu Jiurui's laughter, which echoed in the air, making people feel a little embarrassed. However, Mu Jiuchen was not affected by his words. His eyes were firm and steady, as if he had already expected Mu Jiurui to ask this question.
"Brother, don't worry about Jiangnan. I have someone arranged by Jiang Xing's side who will send back a message at any time." Mu Jiuchen's voice was calm and confident, revealing a confident demeanor. He knew that for a smart person like Mu Jiurui, it was meaningless to hide it, so it would be better to tell him the truth, and perhaps he could get his understanding and support.
Mu Jiurui looked at his brother in front of him, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He knew that Mu Jiuchen always had his own principles and methods in doing things, and rarely let people down. Since he had so confidently guaranteed the matter of Jiangnan, he must have been fully prepared. Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Mu Jiurui's face.
At this moment, Mu Jiuchen finally understood the profound meaning of the famous saying that has been passed down through the ages - "A man of great merit will frighten his master". He stared at the sinister and cruel look that flashed across his brother's face, and a chill surged in his heart, making him tremble all over.
He couldn't help but start thinking, if one day he was faced with a similar situation, what would it be like? Now he could only take it one step at a time!
"Royal brother, after careful consideration, I have finally decided to set off for the Northern Frontier in five days. Time is pressing and we cannot delay any longer." Mu Jiuchen conveyed this important decision to Mu Jiurui in a firm tone.
At this moment, Mu Jiurui was concentrating on a pile of memorials, but after hearing Mu Jiuchen's words, he suddenly raised his head with surprise in his eyes.
"How could it be so fast?" Mu Jiurui couldn't help but ask.
Mu Jiuchen's expression became serious. He frowned and said, "Brother, the situation in the Northern Frontier has become unstable again recently. I must go back in person to ensure the tranquility of the border and the safety of the people." He knew the importance of the Northern Frontier to the country. Any disturbance could lead to serious consequences, so he chose to act quickly without hesitation.
"Okay, then you should be careful." Mu Jiurui was always worried about his youngest brother.
Mu Jiuchen nodded and agreed.
Jiang Li returned to her room bored and annoyed. Her elder brother had just told her to stay out of the house, which made her feel very constrained. She had no choice but to sit by the window and do needlework, hoping to kill the long and boring time.
The sunlight from the window shone through the gauze onto the table, illuminating the colorful silk threads and fabrics. Jiang Li gently picked up an embroidery needle, carefully passed through the delicate fabric, and began to embroider a delicate and beautiful flower. Her fingers shuttled through the fabric skillfully, and each stitch was full of ingenuity and patience.
"Miss, what are you doing now?" As soon as Shi Liu entered the room, he saw the things on the table and couldn't help but ask.
I saw my young lady standing in front of the table, holding a piece of cloth in her hand and stroking it carefully, her face full of excitement.
"I'm planning to make new clothes for each of my brothers! Come and have a look at the fabrics I've chosen."
After that, she handed the cloth in her hand to Shi Liu, her eyes gleaming with anticipation. Shi Liu took the cloth, looked at it carefully, nodded and said, "Well, this cloth is bright in color and soft in texture, it is really good. But... Miss, why did you suddenly think of making clothes for the young masters?"
Hearing Shi Liu's question, the young lady smiled and explained, "I went to the study to see my eldest brother a few days ago, and I accidentally saw that his clothes were still from a few years ago. My second and third brothers are also busy all day, and they definitely don't have time to buy new clothes. So, I thought of making a few clothes for them myself to show my appreciation."
"Miss, you are thoughtful. However, making clothes is not an easy task. It requires a lot of time and energy. Are you sure you can do it well?" Shi Liu was a little worried.
