Chapter 492.1: New Rule, Assassination
Jing Wan carried some food into the study, just seeing Li Hong Yuan alone, “They all left?”
“En.” Li Hong Yuan lifted his head and responded, waving his hand. Jing Wan had the things placed on the table and walked over. Li Hong Yuan had her taken into his arms, “Towards the current state of affairs, what thoughts does Wan Wan have?” He indicated towards the sand table.
“Ah Yuan, aren’t you overestimating me too much? This thing, I definitely don’t understand at all.”
“It’s fine if you don’t understand, you can learn. No one is born knowing.” Afterwards, Li Hong Yuan just explained for Jing Wan on his own.
Speaking of which, Jin Qinwang normally wasn’t this kind of ‘seeing the wind and assuming the rain’ type either. Jing Wan hurriedly stopped him, “Ah Yuan, for many things, there’s always the saying of natural talent. First setting aside whether or not I have talent in this aspect, even if I do, I still can’t immediately master. Besides, Ah Yuan, you have to know, in the world, there aren’t many like you that’s talented in everything.”
“Wan Wan’s praise, this husband accepts.” Li Hong Yuan lightly smiled, “But Wan Wan actually don’t need to overly humble yourself either. You have to know, this sand table originally came from your hands too.”
Jing Wan lifted her brow, “I thought that this thing was already widespread throughout Qi Yuan. Doing a bit of something is also nothing more than taking advantage of my past life. After all, that is something that can even be considered a child’s toy, completely different in concept from war. Just, if it’s letting me do the logistics, in other words managing the army provisions and military needs, then shouldn’t have any problems. However, certainly still need to study a little.”
“No need to learn, Wan Wan in this aspect can ‘master without a teacher’.” Just like in the past life, sending the army rations to the northwest, she just handled very well, standing among a bunch of men, yet able to establish her own prestige. Just, unfortunately, she stood on the wrong side, although her standing wasn’t her own choice, else perhaps she can raise a different kind of wave.
“Is that so? Then if there’s the chance, need to try out.” Jing Wan actually knew what Li Hong Yuan was referring to. After all, he’d mentioned before.
“En. If there’s the opportunity.” Li Hong Yuan just smiled.
But, how can there be that kind of opportunity. In his past life, she was forced to with no other choice, but at present, it was completely different, so how can there still be the need for her to go do this kind of thing.
“It’s already late, so not going to rest? Those ‘business’ of yours, I’ve already finished handling.”
“Looks like Wan Wan is getting increasingly skilled and familiar, then in the future, those are all your matters.”
“Your meaning is that you’re not going to look over at all? You really aren’t going to worry?”
“What is there to worry, in any case, already haven’t looked over in a long time. I just need to let the shadow guards tell me what all matters there are.”
Jing Wan was speechless, “Are you not afraid of some leak or slip-up? Your guts sure are quite big.”
“Based on Wan Wan’s attentiveness and caution, considering every aspect of the matter, what slip-ups can there be? Even if because of not being familiar with all the segments, causing an inappropriate area to appear in the middle, it is also fine. Right now, already don’t need to be that cautious. Even if the problem is relatively big, they will also have it reported in time and taken care of. That’s why, Wan Wan rest assured and boldly do what you want.”
“Since you say it like that, then I’ll just go all out. To be able to help you, I’m also very happy.” Especially that kind of ‘working hard together with the person one loves’ feeling, speaking of which, really wasn’t bad. Alright, in a certain sense, Jing Wan actually was somewhat competing with the ‘her’ in her husband’s memory. Having missed out on the first meeting, one must cherish all the time to get to know and watch over one another, adding even more things into each others’ memory.
“This is also what I wish for.”
Jing Wan curved her eyes and brows, kissing him. Afterwards, she, very much ruining the mood, said, “Time to sleep.”
Li Hong Yuan helplessly laughed, getting up together with her, returning to the bedroom.
Once the two of them left the study, Guard Qian and two others entered the study, having the things that shouldn’t exist inside ‘destroyed’ as quickly as possible. In reality, it was just having those things concealed in another way, even appearing random and messy. For those that don’t understand the logic within, even if finding all the parts, it would still be impossible to have it restored to normal. Furthermore, those things, every so often, will all get thoroughly disposed of and replaced, and the way they are taken apart and hidden will also change.
That’s why, in Jin Qinwang Manor, there really wasn’t anything dangerous.
Right as he exited, he just saw Fu Rong holding a lantern heading this way. In reality, towards this person that came from a brothel, her background also considered clear, these subordinates of Li Hong Yuan’s have never once relaxed their guard. The innocent in their eyes, that was thoroughly not having the slightest suspicious area at all. Fu Rong was different. Her background appeared as if clear, but it was completely possible for her to be borrowing someone else’s identity. Wangfei was kind, but that wasn’t an excuse for them to lose their guard. Moreover, if a problem can occur even when placed under their eyes, then they also don’t need to work anymore, can all go back to the furnace to be remade.
“This late, Miss Fu Rong still haven’t gone to rest?”
Fu Rong’s face was still covered under the veil. She neither quickly nor slowly stopped, “Tonight, it’s this servant’s turn to be on night watch for wangye and wangfei. Wangfei let this servant come and have the food in the study retrieved.”
Guard Qian nodded, directly taking over the thing in another “guard’s” hand. “Originally was going to send over for wangye and wangfei. In this pitch dark night, I’ll take the trip with miss.” Master’s things, regardless of whether or not master will eat, naturally can’t let someone untrustworthy handle, especially when the other party was all alone.
“Many thanks Guard Qian. Just, getting held up here, causing you to return late, hope Bai Shao won’t blame me.” Fu Rong said carrying a bit of teasing.
Ever since Guard Qian got engaged with Bai Shao, he didn’t get teased any less, so his face was long trained. Just this bit, completely didn’t hurt or itch. “Miss is thinking too much. All serving wangye and wangfei, so how could she blame miss over this bit of matter. On the contrary, if one were to just let miss return like this, once she finds out, she will surely be angry with me.”
Although said as such, when actually going back, they instead were separated by a few steps, one in front, one behind, maintaining their distance, silent the entire way.
At the end, the thing was given to Fu Rong in front of Gong mama.
“Guard Qian sure is one to have tender feelings for the delicate.” Gong mama faintly said.
However, Guard Qian’s forehead immediately filled with cold sweat, “Mama, this is praising me or wanting to give me trouble?”
“Naturally praising you. The girls by wangfei’s side, although of the slave class, but in reality, they are all much more delicate and precious than many young daughters of humble families. When marrying, that is also all changing to the commoner class. For rough men like you all, when encountering, isn’t it normal to respect a little and help a little? Could it be that my words are wrong?”
Towards this lady guard’s ability, they definitely deeply understand from experience. Originally they were all the same as shadow guards, but she was much older than all of them. Reasonably speaking, she already wasn’t suited to be a shadow guard, yet in the end, she was much more outstanding than the great majority of the men. Moreover, as a shadow guard, that was for the most part doing some shady business that can’t been seen by others, yet this one was always upright and proper, always lecturing with a serious face, usually making one speechless.
Before wangfei even married in, she already got sent over to serve. Truthfully speaking, not just one person relaxed a breath, and in this year or so after wangfei married in, she has always loyally stuck to her duties, prioritizing wangfei in all things, just like as if she didn’t recognize them. And now, this was…………not having any more misgivings?
“Mama is right, later I will certainly remind the other brothers.”
“Guard Qian, as the head guard, being a good leader is only natural. Just, setting a good example is fine, but this bad example, one will have to warn them not to take after as well.” Gong mama seemingly didn’t plan on letting him leave this easily.
This underlying meaning made Guard Qian somewhat fearful. He seemingly understood that this was referring to him ‘hooking up’ with Bai Shao, but he didn’t dare to open his mouth to confirm either. Guard Qian actually felt that he was quite wronged. He merely just occasionally helped out Bai Shao in passing. The times he has ran into her can be counted on one hand. He himself completely didn’t hold any hope, but who knew that Bai Shao actually fell for him too, so didn’t this precisely become the hard evidence of him ‘seducing’ Bai Shao, causing this lady guard to target him, warning him not to lead astray the others.
“Guard Qian doesn’t understand my meaning?”
