Embroidered Uniform Guard: I Can Plunder Talents-Chapter 288 - 71: Like to Get in My Face? This Is for You

Chapter 288: Chapter 71: Like to Get in My Face? This Is for You

"Your Highness!"

"Quick, protect His Highness!"

Everything happened so fast.

Yan Jiang didn’t even have time to react and could only stare blankly at the corpse before him.

Surrounding guards, upon witnessing this scene, were still worried if any threat might spill over to Yan Jiang, and immediately surrounded him in layers of protection.

After a while.

Seeing that there was no danger, they finally relaxed a bit.

"Get out of the way!"

At this moment, Yan Jiang finally snapped out of his shock.

He pushed aside the guard blocking him.

His gaze fixated directly on the corpse lying on the ground, as if it were a withered tree.

"..."

His fists clenched tightly.

"Ye Liuyun!"

These words squeezed out almost through gritted teeth.

If at this moment, Yan Jiang couldn’t realize who was behind this, he would truly be a fool.

Deliberately letting someone come back to deliver the message to him, and not only that, letting someone die right before his eyes—this was more than just provocation, wasn’t it?

Amid his rage.

There was also a hint of fear in Yan Jiang’s eyes.

There was no way around it; such a manner of death was too horrifying, unimaginable how the other party had done it.

If they intended to take action against him.

"..."

Yan Jiang fell silent all of a sudden.

Such a scenario was beyond what he dared to imagine.

Though he was of noble status, ultimately his life was singular.

Once killed, he would truly die, and if he were dead, he would truly have nothing left.

Realizing this.

The fear in Yan Jiang’s eyes grew even more pronounced.

"Someone! Prepare the carriage, prepare the carriage!"

Yan Jiang immediately shouted, ordering his men to prepare a carriage for him.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Although they didn’t know what Yan Jiang intended to do.

Seeing Yan Jiang so alarmed and angry, no one dared to contradict him. They quickly responded and swiftly prepared a carriage for him.

...

At such a time.

Apart from seeking Fu Zhengqing, Yan Jiang had no other viable option.

Within the Prime Minister’s residence.

Fu Zhengqing had already planned to rest, not expecting a servant to report that Prince An had come to see him.

"?"

Slightly furrowing his brow, puzzled, Fu Zhengqing felt an inexplicable premonition that something wasn’t right.

Thinking this.

Fu Zhengqing instructed his servant to bring Yan Jiang over.

"Teacher! Teacher!"

"Please, teacher, save me!"

Upon seeing Fu Zhengqing, Yan Jiang hurried over, more panicked than usual.

On the way there.

Yan Jiang suddenly thought that Ye Liuyun could kill an Innate Realm martial artist silently from such a distance.

Does this mean.

That something might have been done to him as well?

Recalling the scene of someone abruptly turning into a mummified corpse sent shivers down Yan Jiang’s spine.

If such a thing were to happen to him, he couldn’t even begin to imagine it.

"Save me! Teacher, you must save me!"

Saying this, Yan Jiang directly grabbed Fu Zhengqing’s hand.

"..."

The sudden action.

Left Fu Zhengqing somewhat bewildered.

For a moment, he didn’t even know what had happened.

"Calm down!"

With a frown, Fu Zhengqing’s shout, infused with inner strength, shocked Yan Jiang back to calmness.

At the same time, Fu Zhengqing lifted his hand and grabbed Yan Jiang’s wrist.

Such a panicked state.

Led Fu Zhengqing to suspect that there was something wrong with Yan Jiang’s health. However, after examining for a while and facing Yan Jiang’s worried gaze, Fu Zhengqing straightforwardly said.

"There’s nothing wrong with you. Now, tell me, what’s happened?"

Fu Zhengqing was eager to know.

What exactly had happened to turn Yan Jiang into this state.

"Phew!"

Hearing that there was nothing wrong with him, Yan Jiang finally relaxed inwardly.

However.

When Fu Zhengqing inquired about what had happened.

Yan Jiang was noticeably hesitant.

After all.

Initially, Fu Zhengqing had instructed him not to involve Miao Cheng’s group for the time being, to let them be quiet for a while, but he had acted on his own accord.

He had ordered those people to assassinate Ye Liuyun.

Now such a huge trouble had been stirred up.

"Hmm?"

Seeing Yan Jiang’s hesitation, Fu Zhengqing frowned discontentedly.

"I dare not hide anything from my teacher!"

Though a prince, in front of Fu Zhengqing, Yan Jiang dared not put on any airs.

He knew very well that his only trump card now was Fu Zhengqing, and if Fu Zhengqing refused to help him, he would truly have nothing.

Subsequently.

Yan Jiang honestly recounted the previous events to Fu Zhengqing, without daring to conceal anything.

"..."

Indeed, it was quite a mess.

Originally planning to use Miao Cheng’s group during Yan Shuzhu’s birthday to assassinate the guests from the Liuli Dynasty, thereby inciting conflict between the Liuli and Great Qian Dynasties.

Now look.

Yan Shuzhu’s birthday hadn’t even come yet, and Miao Cheng’s group was already gone.

This left Fu Zhengqing at a loss for words.

Everything had seemingly been planned out, yet his allies were unreliable; though he didn’t know the term ’useless teammates,’ if he did, he would surely curse them.

Looking at Yan Jiang, who hung his head before him, Fu Zhengqing could only shake his head finally, sighing as he spoke.
