Chapter 739: Chapter 739: The Leader is Made by Fighting
“Yes, Princess Consort, rest assured, we will certainly take good care of Master Gucheng,”
Initiate Eight and Initiate Ten were brothers of the same age – in their early teens, simrly cunning and swift.
Huang Ying, as ady-in-waiting from the East Pce, admonished them before leaving: “You both should be aware of Gucheng’s position in the Master’s heart. If he is not taken care of properly, and you dare to ck off, you’ll regret it when you return!”
The two young brothers chorused their agreement.
It was already getting dark.
A group of children were waiting impatiently in the carriage.
After Jiang Ning arrived, she discovered that the coachman had been reced by a very fair-skinned, adorable young boy. He looked no older than seventeen or eighteen with his red lips, white teeth, and big, endearing eyes. If he were dressed as a girl, he would make an adorable sister.
This young boy had a shy but kind smile.
Compared to the cold and silent ck-clothed youth Gucheng, they were two extremes.
“Are you a girl?” Jiang Ning asked after looking him over.<div>
“…No, I’m not. I’m a boy.” The young boy stammered shyly, his face flushing.
“A boy?” Jiang Ningughed, “Alright, are you the new coachman?”
“No, no. Master Gucheng asked me toe… and temporarily rece him, to protect Seventh Miss. My name is Gufeng.”
“Gufeng?” Jiang Ning was astonished, “When did Gucheng contact you?”
“We have our own ways ofmunicating, which cannot be leaked to anyone except the General. Even you, Seventh Miss, are not exempt, despite being one of us,” the boy said softly, face reddening again.
“Alright, alright, I won’t ask anymore.” Jiang Ning was afraid that if she continued, the boy’s face would explode from the blushing, “Does my Uncle know that you’re here?”
“No, he doesn’t.”
“Then, can you just run out and act as my bodyguard?”
“We can follow Master Gucheng’s orders.”
“What does that mean?”
“Seventh Miss, you don’t know? Master Gucheng is the captain of our Shadow Guards.”
“He is your chief? How does he lead you all without uttering a word?”
“Master Gucheng is the most skilled in martial arts, so…”
“So it is through brute force.” Jiang Ning thought, this simple and brutal approach was very much like her uncle, “Alright then, thank you for tonight.”
Seeing him wrapped in a thick blue robe and wearing a fur hat, Jiang Ning got into the carriage without any worries.
The three children were squeezed into the carriage, and when they saw Jiang Ninge alone, they asked: “Is father noting?”
“Your father is very busy.”
Her original n was to take the children out for fun, believing that it would be better for the kids if both parents were present. However, her invitation was turned down.
But who cares if he doesn’t go? Can’t we have fun without him?<div>
Jiang Ning took the three children out for fun.
Unexpectedly, they bumped into the siblings of the Jiang family during their outing. The two kids were immediately hoisted onto their uncles’ shoulders to watch thenterns from high above, chattering excitedly.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Walking around with her sisters, Jiang Ning enjoyed her snacks and watched thenterns having a great time.
“Let’s buy antern.” Jiang Yan suggested.<div>
“Sure, hey, thatntern is excellent!” Jiang Ning set her eyes on a unique and exquisitentern depicting Chang’e flying to the moon, she reached out for it-
But unexpectedly, another hand reached out to snatch thentern.
Jiang Ning turned around, facing a stunningly beautiful face.
It was Princess Ling’an, whom she hadn’t seen in a long while.
A few people stood behind Princess Ling’an.
The most eye-catching among them was Lin Shimo in a white robe, fluttering a jade fan beside him was Wenren Zong, and next to them was Li You, Prince of Zhao.
Jiang Ning nced at Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan had already hidden behind her other sisters.
