I have traveled through time, who am I afraid of?

Chapter 742: Grandchildren of the Prince's Mansion

Jiang Fang, the grandson of a prince and a duke, looked up at the sky in silence.

I thought to myself: Master, this is simply forcing a mute to speak!

You keep asking me this, but I didn’t go to Yunxiang Mountain last night!

How do I know what exactly happened on Yunxiang Mountain?

"Master, I have a guess...

Suppose, for example, the dozens of people sent out yesterday suddenly came back... a while ago... or sometime later...

Then, it will become clear what happened on Yunxiang Mountain and why they failed to take action or failed to succeed.

If those dozens of people disappeared without a trace...

Perhaps there are only the following possibilities..."

Tong Lian hesitated and spoke.

"Just say it!"

Xiao Jingyi urged in a muffled voice.

"Yes!

The possibility I mentioned is...

Perhaps, the people protecting the Anguo Mansion were not as we had discovered, and they only brought a few guards;

On the contrary, there may be more people in the dark!"

Tong Lian said as he thought.

“But… we sent more than fifty people!

Originally I thought that there was no need to send too many people, but just to be absolutely sure, I temporarily added more people, a total of more than 50 people!

Even if there are still people secretly protecting the Anguo Mansion... can the number exceed this?"

Xiao Jingyi expressed disbelief.

"I can't say for sure!"

Tong Lian shook his head helplessly, "There is another possibility, if...if there is a mysterious and powerful force that helped the Anguo Mansion and protected everyone in the Anguo Mansion...

Then... those people we sent out, those who have not returned yet, unless they suddenly appear and return to the palace soon, otherwise... they will probably never come back...

The result is that they are all either captured or... killed!"

In fact, the guess that Tong Lian made was also thought of by the three people in the room, including Xiao Jingyi and Jiang Fang, but it was only Tong Lian who said it clearly in person.

Yes, if that is not the case, then...how to explain...how could those people suddenly disappear without a trace, without a trace?

After Tong Lian said these words, the hall fell silent again.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Jingyi leaned back in his chair dejectedly, looking up at the roof...

"You said... dozens of them... were either all captured or all killed. Could it be... could it be done by someone from the Anguo Mansion?"

Even without Xiao Jingyi asking, Jiang Fang and Tong Lian had already been thinking about this question in their minds!

Was this done by the Anguo Mansion?

If so, then... the power of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion is too strong!

Not only that, their defenses were too strict—

Even if they went to Yunxiang Mountain Qingguo Temple to perform Buddhist rituals, they had arranged enough manpower to protect them in advance...

This protection is truly airtight and leak-proof!

However, it's not surprising when you really think about it.

After all, Duke Anguo Fu Peng was a god of war who once fought on the battlefield. It is no exaggeration to say that he was a master with peerless martial arts!

Back then, he was a general on the battlefield who could defeat a hundred enemies alone.

Now, although he has already taken off his armor and no longer holds the military seal, he only stays in the capital to assist in the current government affairs...

But, everyone says that the mighty Tiger is still there!

What's more, Duke Anguo Fu Peng is not that old. It would be more appropriate to say that he is still strong and vigorous.

What's more, he has two sons - one is the Minister of Justice and the other is the Vice Minister of War.

There should be a few guards following these two people.

Furthermore, two of the three grandsons of the Duke of Anguo were in Yunxiang Mountain...

Although one of them was the top scorer in the imperial examination, and the other was the third place in the imperial examination, and both of them served as civil servants in the court...

However, adhering to the family tradition of military generals, they could not really be weak scholars who were powerless...

If that's true...then they didn't think carefully enough when planning this matter!

They miscalculated badly!

In addition, there is another possibility, that is... the actual situation is really as they have investigated, and the Anguo Mansion really is just a family going up the mountain to do Buddhist rituals for a few days, chanting sutras and praying for the early deceased Fu Baozhen;

Apart from the family, there were only a few servants and guards following him.

And there is another force that is closely protecting everyone in the Anguo Mansion.

If that's true...it's even more terrifying!

Where does that power come from?

From the Emperor?

Or does it come from His Royal Highness Prince Yu?

They arranged such a force...and who are they guarding against?

Let’s not talk about the five important officials and three imperial edicts of the Duke of Anguo’s family;

Take Miss Leng for example. She is the future daughter-in-law of the royal family, and the future Princess Consort of Prince Yu, who was personally arranged to marry by the Emperor.

Now, because of her existence, how many girls’ dreams of becoming the Princess of Prince Yu that they had dreamed of for many years have been shattered?

Therefore, there must be many people who want her dead.

Perhaps it was because of this that the Emperor or His Royal Highness Prince Yu secretly provided her with enough manpower to protect her.

It is also possible... uh... this "it is also possible", the most likely possibility is probably that His Royal Highness Prince Yu will take action personally!

His Royal Highness Prince Yu was originally the most proud disciple of Master Lingxu, and his martial arts skills were unfathomable.

Furthermore, ever since the current emperor arranged a marriage between him and Leng Rongyue, he, a prince and a Prince Yu, is almost one of the grandchildren of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion!

It is obvious that His Royal Highness Prince Yu values his fiancée Leng Rongyue, and also values Leng Rongyue's maternal family, the Duke of Anguo's Mansion.

This time, the whole family of the Duke of Anguo went to the Qingguo Temple on Yunxiang Mountain to chant sutras and pray for the late Fu Baozhen. His Royal Highness Prince Yu, as a dignified prince, actually went to Yunxiang Mountain with the Duke of Anguo as the future son-in-law!

His Royal Highness Prince Yu's behavior is really unimaginable!

However, His Royal Highness Prince Yu actually did so!
