Catching Monsters

Chapter 341 I'll definitely accompany you next time

When Xiao Min'er snapped out of her reverie, she heard Jiang Yun and Linglong's voices.

"how do you feel?"

"Legs".

Xiao Min'er looked down at her legs, and a look of astonishment gradually appeared in her eyes. She couldn't help but reach out and pinch her thigh hard.

A distinct pain came from my thigh.

It's alright, it really is alright.

Xiao Min'er was somewhat incredulous. She slowly supported herself with her hands and got up from the wooden wheelchair, almost stumbling and falling to the ground.

Fortunately, Linglong, who was standing nearby, reacted quickly and helped her up.

With Linglong's help, Xiao Min'er tentatively began to walk carefully using her legs.

She has been paralyzed for nearly fifteen or sixteen years and has long forgotten what it feels like to walk.

After walking around for a while, Linglong helped her back to her wheelchair.

Jiang Yun also reminded Xiao Min'er, saying, "Your injuries have just healed, so you'll probably need some time to adjust."

Then Jiang Yun glanced back at the sky and said in a deep voice, "Alright, let's leave the capital quickly."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Min'er shook her head slightly and said slowly, "I haven't been to the capital for a long time. Let me stay a little longer."

Jiang Yun frowned involuntarily and refused without hesitation, saying, "Miss Min'er, this matter is not up to you to be willful. We..."

Before Jiang Yun could finish speaking, Wang Longzhi, the captain of his hundred-man guard, rushed in.

With a grim face, he said, "This is bad! A lot of Imperial Guards have arrived outside!"

Jinyiwei?
Jiang Yun was slightly taken aback, somewhat surprised, and he subconsciously exchanged a glance with Linglong.

"Let's go out and take a look. Xiao Min'er, you stay here." Jiang Yun took a deep breath, and then she and Linglong quickly headed towards the gate of Sanqing Temple.

Upon arriving outside the gate, outside the Sanqing Temple, more than two hundred people from the Northern Garrison Command, fully armed, surrounded the Sanqing Temple.

The person leading the team was an old acquaintance, Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi, now promoted to the position of Commander of the Northern Garrison, looked serious and hesitated as he considered whether to order a forced entry into the Sanqing Temple.

Just then, Jiang Yun came out from inside.

"Commander Zhou, it's been a long time." Jiang Yun forced a smile and hurriedly stepped forward. Then, he glanced at the many experts from the Northern Garrison and said, "Commander Zhou, is it really necessary to make such a big fuss when you come to visit?"

"And who is this?" Zhou Yi glanced at Linglong and asked.

"Princess Ningyi," Jiang Yun introduced.

Zhou Yi's expression changed slightly. He then beckoned Jiang Yun and Linglong aside and said in a low voice, "Commander Jiang, we've known each other for a while now. Tell me the truth, did you bring a woman from outside to the Sanqing Temple for treatment?"

Jiang Yun's eyelids twitched, and he said in a deep voice, "Lord Zhou, there is such a thing, but this woman..."

"Brother, take a look at this." Zhou Yi lowered his voice, took out a letter, and handed it over: "This is an anonymous letter received by one of our Northern Garrison Command's secret locations."

"The letter says that your Sanqing Temple is hiding a woman named Xiao Min'er, who is suspected to be a wanted criminal who escaped from the court 29 years ago."

Jiang Yun knew perfectly well what was going on, but she had to feign shock: "There's such a thing?"

Zhou Yi patted Jiang Yun on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "Brother, this matter has been reported to Commander Li Wangxin, and he is on his way."

"Don't meddle in this matter. Let our Northern Garrison handle it."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun's expression hardened as he looked at the numerous experts from the Northern Garrison Command confronting Wang Longzhi's personal guards.

He asked in a deep voice, "Lord Zhou, do you know where these soldiers came from?"

Zhou Yi immediately shook his head, and Jiang Yun said in a deep voice, "These soldiers are Wang Longzhi's personal guards. General Wang Longzhi is currently leading troops in the field, commanding 400,000 soldiers..."

"If a fight really breaks out, it could have serious repercussions. Lord Zhou, you'd better be careful..."

"What?" Zhou Yi's pupils contracted slightly, and he quickly raised his hand, signaling his Jinyiwei guards not to act rashly.

How could this wanted criminal be involved with General Wang Longzhi?

The Commander of the Northern Garrison was a highly influential figure in the capital, and Zhou Yi was well aware of many of the stakes involved.

After weighing the pros and cons, Zhou Yi said in a deep voice, "It seems we should wait until Commander Li arrives before discussing this matter."

“Hmm.” Jiang Yun’s eyes darted around and he said, “Lord Zhou, don’t be in a hurry. Let me go in with Princess Ningyi to see what’s going on. If we have the chance, it would be best if we could capture her and bring her out.”

After dealing with Zhou Yi, at least preventing him from making a move immediately, Jiang Yun and Linglong quickly returned to the Sanqing Temple.

The two walked hurriedly. Jiang Yun frowned and asked in confusion, "Master, how could Xiao Min'er's identity have been leaked?"

"The only people who know about this along the way are you and me."

"Logically speaking, that's impossible..."

Linglong glanced at Jiang Yun with a stern face and slowly said, "Besides the two of us, there is one other person who knows."

"Who?" Jiang Yun asked, frowning.

"Herself!"

Soon, the two returned to the living room, where Xiao Hei was already back in Jiang Qiaoqiao's arms. Jiang Yun also told Jiang Qiaoqiao to wait in the backyard of Sanqing Temple for a while.

The captain of the guards quickly went out and directed his men to be on high alert, forming a standoff with the numerous Imperial Guards of the Northern Garrison.

Xiao Min'er sat in a wheelchair with a calm expression.

"What do you want to do?" Linglong asked Xiao Min'er loudly after entering the room, and said in a deep voice, "We brought you all the way to the capital to treat your illness and injuries."

"You deliberately lured the Embroidered Uniform Guard here to cause us trouble?"

Xiao Min'er smiled calmly and then said, "If this causes you any trouble, then I'm sorry."

Jiang Yun took a deep breath and said with a stern face, "What exactly do you want? You sent out that anonymous letter, didn't you?"

"If you die in the capital, my apprentice, Commander Yang, and the others will not survive!"

Xiao Min'er stretched out a finger and gently played with her hair at her temple, saying, "I never intended to leave the capital alive."

“Longzhi is weak-willed. Although his parents have passed away, the entire Duke Jingguo’s mansion, such a large family, is in danger because of him. Given his personality, it is difficult for him to make a decision.”

"Only if I am executed in the capital will he truly make up his mind."

"If it were your disciple, Yang Liunian and the others who died because of this, I can only apologize."

Jiang Yun and Linglong exchanged a surprised glance. No wonder Xiao Min'er agreed to go to the capital after hearing that they were going.

She never intended to leave the capital alive.

She never intended for Wang Longzhi to hand over the Imperial Seal.

Seeing Xiao Min'er's completely calm appearance, Linglong frowned, took a deep breath and said, "By doing this, you're forcing Wang Longzhi to rebel. Have you thought about what the consequences would be if he failed?"

“I gave him a chance, and he made the choice.” After Xiao Min’er finished speaking, she said to Jiang Yun and Linglong, “Alright, hand me over. You two don’t want to cause any more trouble, right?”

Jiang Yun took a deep breath and, together with Linglong, pushed the wooden wheelchair toward the gate of Sanqing Temple.

Jiang Yun was well aware that once Xiao Min'er fell into the hands of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, she would have little chance of survival.

Once the news reaches Wuling Mansion, Qin Shujian and Yang Liunian will have no chance of survival, and Jiang Yun will have no choice but to hand over Xiao Min'er.

He couldn't protect Xiao Min'er, nor could he.

Upon opening the door, Wang Longzhi's personal guards rushed forward to protect Xiao Min'er.

But Xiao Min'er shouted, "Stop it, all of you! Go back to Wuling Mansion!"

“Miss, we have made a pledge to General Wang that we must guarantee your safety.” Upon seeing this, the captain of the guards quickly stepped in front of them and said with a stern face, “Even if we brothers have to risk our lives here today, we will protect you.”

"Foolish." Xiao Min'er glared at him, then pushed her wooden wheelchair to the Imperial Guards of the Northern Garrison.

Zhou Yi glanced gratefully at Jiang Yun and Linglong, then quickly waved his hand, ordering his men to handcuff Xiao Min'er and bring her back to the Northern Garrison Command.

"Let's go, we need to find Eunuch Feng." Linglong took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "No matter what, Xiao Min'er cannot die!"

With Xiao Min'er dead, given their relationship, Wang Longzhi would probably lose control.

"Seeking Eunuch Feng is useless." Jiang Yun quickly reached out to stop Linglong and said, "If there is anyone in the capital who can persuade His Majesty, I'm afraid it's only Old Master Ye Xiuyuan."

"Let's go, let's hurry over to Mr. Ye's residence."

……

In the Imperial Garden, the weather was fine today, with birds singing and flowers blooming. Xiao Yuzheng was in a rare moment of leisure, taking a stroll in the Imperial Garden, accompanied by Consort Shu, while Feng Yu followed at a distance.

Consort Shu, dressed in a pink dress, took Xiao Yuzheng's hand and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you seem to have some free time today. Why don't you stroll with me in the Imperial Garden? It must have been a month ago before you accompanied me on a walk."

Xiao Yuzheng chuckled and said, "There have been too many things to do lately. I promise you, I will set aside one day each month to spend with you from now on."

Consort Shu rolled her eyes at him and said, "I don't know how many times you've said this. Every time, you rush off to handle some business and leave me hanging."

"Today, even if something terrible happens, I will stay with you." Xiao Yuzheng turned around with a smile and said, "Feng Yu, did you hear that? Even if the sky falls down today, I won't care."

"Yes." Feng Yu nodded with a smile. Consort Shu treated him well and often sent him things.

Just then, a young eunuch rushed to Feng Yu's side and whispered, "Your Excellency, something terrible has happened! Lord Li Wangxin has come to the Imperial Study and says he has important business to discuss with His Majesty."

Feng Yu glared at the little eunuch and said, "His Majesty said that even if the sky falls today, he will accompany Consort Shu. How can you be so insensible?"

The young eunuch lowered his head and whispered a few words in Feng Yu's ear.

Feng Yu's expression changed immediately, and she quickly stepped forward.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuzheng was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Feng Yu, what are you doing? I said, nothing is more important than my Consort Shu."

"Your Majesty, please listen to me for a moment."

"I won't listen, I won't listen."

Knowing the gravity of the situation, Feng Yu quickly whispered a few words in Xiao Yuzheng's ear.

Xiao Yuzheng's face darkened: "Consort Shu, I have important business to attend to. I will definitely accompany you next time."

After saying that, he took Feng Yu and hurriedly ran towards the direction of the Imperial Study.
