Catching Monsters

Chapter 338 In short, you have to listen to me on this matter.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun nodded slightly, narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "Then we'll have no choice but to take it by force."

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Early the next morning, soldiers from the General's Mansion came and once again invited Jiang Yun and Linglong to the General's Mansion.

Upon arriving at the main hall of the General's Mansion, Wang Longzhi sat in a side hall next to him. Beside him sat an extremely beautiful woman in a wooden wheelchair, her expression serene.

Upon seeing this woman, Jiang Yun subconsciously glanced at Linglong beside him, wondering if all beautiful women were alike.

I always felt that this woman's eyebrows and features bore a resemblance to Linglong's.

Linglong, carrying a medicine box, followed behind Jiang Yun, looking every bit the assistant.

"Mr. Jiang Yu has arrived." Wang Longzhi stood up with a smile when she saw Jiang Yun arrive. She stared at Jiang Yun with great interest, pointed to the woman beside her, and introduced her, "This is my fiancée. You can call her Min'er."

"She suffered a serious injury many years ago, which has left her paralyzed from the waist down for many years. I wonder if Dr. Jiang has any way to cure her."

Just as Jiang Yun was about to speak, Linglong gently patted his shoulder as a reminder.

Jiang Yun's pupils contracted slightly. After all, he was a third-grade expert with keen hearing, and he could clearly hear the footsteps of a large number of soldiers around the side hall.

The entire side hall is probably already surrounded by people.

Although he had already noticed the unusual situation outside, Jiang Yun's smile remained unchanged. He carefully observed the condition of the girl named Min'er and nodded, saying, "No problem, she can be cured."

"You can make a judgment so quickly?" Wang Longzhi's eyes flickered slightly, clearly not entirely believing what Jiang Yun said.

Wang Longzhi sat back down in his chair, flipping through a piece of intelligence in his hand, and slowly said, "I've been very curious ever since Mr. Jiang arrived."

"If there is a miracle doctor who can cure hemiplegia, he should not be an unknown person. I asked around in many places, and everyone said they had never heard of such a powerful doctor."

"Coincidentally, I had previously heard someone mention that a military officer named Jiang from the Embroidered Uniform Guard had come to the three southwestern provinces, according to a military officer named Yang."

"A young girl happened to be accompanying this Commander Jiang."

"That does sound quite fitting for you."

"How about I invite Commander Yang out and see if you two know each other?" Wang Longzhi asked with a smile.

Jiang Yun's heart sank slightly, but he smiled and said, "I didn't expect General Wang to have heard of me. I am Jiang Yun. I came here because I heard that my superior, Commander Yang, is with General Wang, so I came here to accompany him back to the capital."

"Oh, I see." Wang Longzhi nodded. "What a coincidence, your superior, Commander Yang, got drunk and harassed a maid in my general's mansion. I've already detained him."

Jiang Yun chuckled and said, "General Wang may not know, but Commander Yang is holding a treasure, the Imperial Seal of the State, which he urgently needs to transport back to the capital."

"Huh, there's such a thing?" Wang Longzhi looked surprised, then slapped his thigh and said, "Yang Liunian didn't tell me."

Jiang Yun took a deep breath and suggested, "Why don't you, General Wang, hand over the Imperial Seal to me, and I will escort it back to the capital?"

Now that both sides had revealed their identities, Jiang Yun stopped hiding his intentions and directly stated his purpose.

Wang Longzhi chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Commander Jiang, since it is the Imperial Seal of the State, how can it be safe for just the two of you to escort it? In my opinion, I should send a team to escort the Imperial Seal of the State back to the capital."

Jiang Yun chuckled and said, "General Wang, you're sending a team back to the capital. Could it be that they'll run into 'bandits' on the way and steal the Imperial Seal?"

Wang Longzhi and Jiang Yun exchanged a glance and said calmly, "The banditry in the area is severe, and even I, the general, cannot guarantee anything about this matter."

The two looked at each other, both knowing exactly what was going on in the other's mind.

It was obvious that Wang Longzhi would not easily hand over the Imperial Seal of the State.

Jiang Yun took a deep breath, looked at the woman, and asked, "How long has Min'er been injured?"

“It has nothing to do with Commander Jiang,” Wang Longzhi said in a deep voice.

Jiang Yun looked at Wang Longzhi and said in a deep voice, "General Wang, I'm not joking with you. I do have a way to cure Miss Min'er's illness."

Seeing that he didn't believe her, Jiang Yun finally spoke up: "I wonder if General Wang has ever heard of 'Gugu Pupu'?"

Then, Jiang Yun briefly mentioned Gugu Pupu and its unique healing properties.

He also mentioned that his younger sister, Jiang Qiaoqiao, had previously suffered severe injuries and was paralyzed on one side of her body, and that Gugu had cured her injuries.

Listening to Jiang Yun's eloquent explanation, Wang Longzhi's eyes flickered slightly. Xiao Min'er, standing beside him, coughed and reminded Wang Longzhi, "General Wang, words are not enough. How can you believe them so easily?"

“I can testify,” Linglong said from the side.

Xiao Min'er looked at her and said calmly, "You and he are accomplices, so how can you testify?"

Linglong took out a waist token and showed it off: "I am Princess Ningyi. I testify to this with my status as a princess, shall I?"

"Princess Ningyi?" Xiao Min'er was slightly taken aback: "Xiao Linglong?"

"What are your conditions?" Wang Longzhi took a deep breath. Xiao Min'er had been paralyzed for many years, and helping her find medical treatment and cure her body was one of Wang Longzhi's top priorities.

He was willing to try anything, no matter how small the chance.

Jiang Yun made an outrageous demand, saying, "If I heal her, I'll give you the Imperial Seal of the State."

“Okay!” Wang Longzhi nodded without hesitation. Xiao Min’er, who was standing next to him, got anxious and grabbed Wang Longzhi’s wrist: “I’m fine as I am now. I’ve made it through all these years, haven’t I?”

Seeing this, Wang Longzhi coughed twice, and the soldiers surrounding him, receiving the signal, quickly retreated. "You two go outside and wait a moment, Min'er and I need to talk."

Jiang Yun was stunned when he saw this. He was actually just trying his luck. He wanted the Imperial Seal of the State first. If that didn't work, he could release Yang Liunian, Qin Shujian and the others.

As for the terms, we can discuss them gradually.

To everyone's surprise, Wang Longzhi actually agreed.

After Jiang Yun and Linglong left the living room, Xiao Min'er anxiously said to Wang Longzhi, "You're so foolish, how could you agree to this so easily?"

"You promised me that you would help me reclaim my father's empire."

"What if the Imperial Seal of the State were lost..."

Wang Longzhi squatted down beside Xiao Min'er, held her hand tightly, and said in a deep voice, "Min'er, nothing is more important than the Imperial Seal of the State."

"Don't worry, even without the Imperial Seal, I can still conquer the country for you!"

"But the most important thing right now is to get your health back in good shape."

Xiao Min'er calmly shook her head and said, "I disagree."

"It's settled then!" Wang Longzhi said in a deep voice, "As long as he can truly heal your injuries, I will give him the Imperial Seal of the State!"

Xiao Min'er's lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she was too moved to speak.

She and Wang Longzhi had known each other for many years.

The Duke of Jingguo's mansion can be considered one of the top noble families in the capital. Wang Longzhi is now thirty years old, and many daughters of high-ranking officials and nobles want to marry him.

But Wang Longzhi didn't like any of them and instead protected her fiercely.

Because Xiao Min'er's identity was completely clandestine, even the matter of marrying her could not be carried out.

The people from the Duke of Jingguo's mansion were in no use being anxious. Whenever they urged him, Wang Longzhi would use the excuse that he was busy with military affairs and did not want to talk about his personal feelings.

Now, they are even willing to risk the execution of their entire family to help me.

Although Xiao Min'er was exceptionally intelligent, her eyes were also a little moist as she held Wang Longzhi's hand tightly: "I shouldn't have met you on that rainy night back then. You and I both know that what I'm doing now might harm you."

Wang Longzhi took a deep breath, and the same smile she had shown on that rainy night many years ago appeared on her face. She said, "Meeting you is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me."

"In short, you have to listen to me on this matter."

……

Soon, Wang Longzhi walked out of the hall again and came to Jiang Yun and Linglong. He said, "As you said, if we want to heal Min'er's injuries, we need that evil creature called Xiao Hei to come here, right?"

"Send a message immediately and have someone bring that evil thing here."

"As long as Min'er's injuries can be healed successfully..."

Jiang Yun shook his head and said, "General Wang, that little black thing cannot leave the capital. That little evil creature is also very strange. It was born near the capital, so it can only live near the capital."

"They will perish once they are more than a hundred miles from the capital."

"We can only take Min'er back to the capital, and after she is cured, we will send her back to you."

This reason is obviously nonsense. What if Wang Longzhi changes his mind once Xiao Hei is cured at Wuling Mansion?
The best solution is to take Xiao Min'er back to the capital.

Wang Longzhi's pupils contracted slightly, he clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice, "Impossible. If Min'er goes to the capital, what if something goes wrong?"

Jiang Yun chuckled and said, "General Wang, rest assured. Not to mention that Miss Min'er and you have such a close relationship, this matter involves the Imperial Seal of the State."

"Who would cause trouble for Miss Min'er?"

"I can assure General Wang that Miss Min'er will be safely returned."

Wang Longzhi subconsciously glanced at Linglong beside her.

What use is the guarantee from Jiang Yun, a mere centurion of the Embroidered Uniform Guard?

On the contrary, Linglong, as Princess Ningyi, still has a certain amount of influence in the capital.

Linglong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I can guarantee that Miss Min'er will return safely."

Wang Longzhi closed his eyes, pondered for a long time, and then nodded in agreement, saying, "You two remember this promise. If Min'er makes the slightest mistake, you will pay the price."

After saying that, Wang Longzhi turned around and went back to the living room.

Jiang Yun frowned and slowly said, "This Miss Min'er is not only General Wang's woman, but also has many entanglements. What could possibly happen to her if she goes to the capital..."

Linglong narrowed her eyes and said in a deep voice, "That's not necessarily true..."
