Chapter 177 Face Jiang Kuanglong head-on!
When the sun is at 3:00 p.m.,
Li Changsheng arranged for the two sisters Lanzhi and Lanruo to continue staying at home and making wine.
He then went to the outer court to report for duty at the headquarters of the Longxiong Guard.
As soon as I entered the military camp, I felt that the atmosphere was a little off.
But he could guess the reason.
When Ying Yunhai saw Li Changsheng, he hurried forward to greet him.
"Captain Li, you're here!"
Li Changsheng stepped forward, bowed, and said, "General Ying, what happened in this military camp? Why do they all look as if they are facing a great enemy?"
Ying Yunhai pulled Li Changsheng aside and said in a low voice, "Captain Li, Jiang Li is missing!"
Li Changsheng disagreed and said, "I thought something serious had happened. He's missing, so what? Is it necessary to mobilize such a large force?"
Seeing that Li Changsheng had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter, Ying Yunhai reminded him:
"Captain Li, Jiang Li has been at odds with you lately. Now he's suddenly disappeared for no apparent reason, and you weren't at the barracks yesterday. The Jiang family will definitely suspect you first!"
Li Changsheng spread his hands and didn't care.
"If you doubt me, then doubt me. I'm not afraid of my own shadow, and I'm not afraid of their suspicion!"
Seeing Li Changsheng speak so confidently, Ying Yunhai continued to ask, "Captain Li, although we haven't known each other for long, we feel like old friends right away. We are brothers."
"Can you tell me the truth, big brother? Is Jiang Li's disappearance related to you?"
Before Li Changsheng could answer, Deng Zhong ran over in a hurry as if his butt was on fire.
"General Jiang, Captain Li, something terrible has happened. The commander-in-chief and his personal guards are rushing over here!"
Ying Yunhai's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly advised Li Changsheng:
"Brother Li, they must be coming for you. How about this, I'll deal with the commander-in-chief, you hurry back to the palace!"
Deng Zhong also advised, "General, you are absolutely right. Captain Li, you should hurry back to the palace. Otherwise, once the commander-in-chief and his men surround us, it will be too late to leave!"
Facing Ying Yunhai and Deng Zhong, he persuaded them earnestly.
Li Changsheng shook his head.
"Brother Ying, Brother Deng, I appreciate your kindness."
"But I can't leave today!"
Ying Yunhai looked puzzled and asked, "Why?"
Li Changsheng said righteously, "If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. If I just walk away, it will seem like I have a guilty conscience!"
"Those people will be even more unscrupulous and put the blame on me!"
"Besides, I'm not only the head of the palace's internal affairs department, but also a cavalry captain of the Dragon Guard."
"Even if I can hide for a while, can I hide forever?"
After hearing Li Changsheng's words, Ying Yunhai fell into silence.
Early this morning, Qingying secretly found him and conveyed His Majesty's intentions.
He was told to help Li Changsheng no matter what and gain a foothold in the Longxiong Guard.
If Li Changsheng really hid in the palace today, he could be safe for a while.
But if you want to gain a foothold in Longxiong Guard, it will be a waste of time and effort, as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Thinking of this, Ying Yunhai stopped trying to persuade him.
"Brother Li, let's go and greet the commander-in-chief, so that he won't say that our Xiaoguo Camp doesn't know etiquette!"
Li Changsheng nodded and followed Ying Yunhai to the camp gate to greet them.
"General Ying Yunhai greets the commander-in-chief. I wonder why he has suddenly led his troops here?"
Jiang Kuanglong had a gloomy face and ignored Ying Yunhai the whole time, staring straight at Li Changsheng.
Li Changsheng was not willing to be outdone, and directly faced Jiang Kuanglong's aggressive cold light.
The two sides looked at each other, with tensions rising.
In an instant, the whole place was silent as death.
Seeing this, Jiang Jian stepped forward and shouted, "Li Changsheng, my cousin Jiang Li is missing."
"Besides, he has only had a grudge against you during this period. Did you kill me?"
Li Changsheng smiled coldly and said, "Haha, if I wanted to kill Jiang Li, I could have used the Emperor's Sword bestowed upon me by His Majesty in Yanshi to kill him."
"Why do you have to act now and get yourself into trouble?"
Li Changsheng's counter-question was well-reasoned.
This left Jiang Jian stunned and speechless for a moment.
Seeing this, Li Changsheng took advantage of the situation and pursued the enemy again.
"Jiang Jian, there's one thing I don't understand. Jiang Li is missing. Why do you suspect I killed him instead of kidnapping him?"
"Or did you already know that Jiang Li was dead, and that's why you asked this question?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar.
All of a sudden, everyone present looked at Jiang Jian.
Yes, until now, Jiang Li has just been missing.
No one can guarantee that he is dead.
After all, Jiang Li’s body has not been found until now!
Jiang Jian came up and said that Li Changsheng killed him, which really seemed like he was trying to cover up the truth.
Moreover, compared to Li Changsheng.
Jiang Jian's motive to kill Jiang Li seemed to be more sufficient.
Jiang Jian and Jiang Li are both geniuses of the younger generation of the Jiang family.
They are known as the Twin Tigers of the Jiang Family.
If Jiang Li suddenly died.
Then this young generation will become dominated by Jiang Jian.
By then, the resources enjoyed by Jiang Jian will probably also increase.
Even Jiang Kuanglong looked at Jiang Jian with a meaningful look.
This frightened Jiang Jian so much that he broke out in a cold sweat and tried to prove his innocence with a trembling voice.
"Uncle, Jiang Li and I are brothers whose blood is thicker than water. How could I possibly attack him?"
"This Li Changsheng is talking nonsense and trying to alienate the Jiang family."
After saying that, he glared at Li Changsheng again.
"Li Changsheng, if you dare to slander me again, I will be rude to you!"
While speaking, he even drew his sword from its sheath, trying to force Li Changsheng to shut up.
Seeing this, Li Changsheng cooperated very well. He pretended to be very scared and hid behind Ying Yunhai.
"General Ying, I've hit the nail on the head about Jiang Jian. He's guilty as a thief, and now he wants to kill to silence him!"
Ying Yunhai looked at Li Changsheng and couldn't help laughing at his exaggerated acting.
However, when it was his turn to perform, he naturally couldn't turn a blind eye.
So, I continued to act very cooperatively.
"Jiang Jian, do you still want to commit murder and silence people in this military camp, in front of everyone?"
Jiang Jian only realized it after hearing Ying Yunhai's angry shout.
His action of threatening Li Changsheng just now was indeed a bit inappropriate.
This made him freeze there, not knowing what to do.
In the end, he simply knelt down in front of Jiang Kuanglong.
"Uncle, I didn't kill Jiang Li. I really didn't kill Jiang Li. Please understand!"
Li Changsheng poked his head out and said, "Jiang Jian, if you didn't kill Jiang Li, then you didn't. Why do you have to get so excited and emphasize it so many times?"
Jiang Jian: "Li Changsheng, you..."
Jiang Kuanglong waved his hand to stop Jiang Jian.
"Jiang Jian, please get up quickly. I personally watched you grow up, so I trust you and will not do such a stupid thing as killing your brother!"
Jiang Jian felt relieved after hearing this.
"Thank you uncle!"
After saying that, he glared at Li Changsheng angrily.
I wish I could cut it into pieces right there and then.
Facing the hateful look from Jiang Jian, Li Changsheng seemed to enjoy it very much.
He likes people like this, who can't stand him but can't get rid of him.
At this moment, Jiang Kuanglong's gaze also fell on Li Changsheng, and he looked at him carefully.
He smiled maliciously and said sinisterly, "What a clever little eunuch!"
"Li Changsheng, I want to ask you, where did you go yesterday? Why didn't you show up for duty at the barracks all day?"
Facing Jiang Kuanglong's pressure, Li Changsheng remained neither humble nor overbearing, clasping his fists and saying:
"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, yesterday morning, the Empress took me out of the palace to visit her family!"
"It was already afternoon when I arrived at the General's Mansion. The General insisted on hosting a banquet and gave me ten thousand taels of silver and a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum to thank me for saving Miss Xiao's life. I was so happy that I drank two more glasses of wine."
"I didn't return to the palace until dusk. After returning, His Majesty summoned me for an urgent matter..."
Li Changsheng recounted his itinerary from day to night in detail.
Moreover, several big names are involved.
Queen, Your Majesty, General, and General of the Central Army!
Any one of these can defeat Jiang Kuanglong.
Jiang Kuanglong was so angry that he had no temper at all.
Ying Yunhai and Deng Zhong, who were standing next to him, were filled with shame when they heard this.
No wonder Captain Li is so confident!
I have the general, your majesty, and the queen to support me.
Not to mention Jiang Kuanglong, a high-ranking general of the second rank.
Even if the Queen Mother came in person, she could still fight head-on...
