Chapter 221

“It might have been taken by someone!” Ouyang Shaochen suddenly said with a piercing gaze . The invisible guards were all-conquering and invincible . They were ever-triumphant on the battlefield, so it was inevitable that people would be attracted .

“Exactly!” Murong Xue nodded in agreement as she looked up at Prime Minister Xie: “Do Your Excellency know who else might know about the shadow guards of my father?”

“It was just Duke Cheng, your grandfather and I . As for others, I’m not so sure . ” Prime Minister Xie said in a low voice .

Murong Xue slightly narrowed her eyes with a gleam flashing across them . Her grandfather, the Prime Minister Xie, and Duke Cheng were all civil officials and had been staying in the capital all the time . But the token of Murong Yue was missed on the battlefield . “Who were the generals with my father at that time?”

Prime Minister Xie recalled carefully: “It seems to be General Lu, General Qi, and the senior Prince Jing . . . ”

“Was the senior Prince Jing included?” Murong Xue was absorbed in thought .

Prime Minister Xie merely said: “Um, the scale of the battle was quite large . The two countries dispatched as many as four hundred thousand to half a million soldiers and the emperor asked your father to join the battle along with the senior Prince Jing . In the last one, your father died, and the senior Prince Jing was also seriously injured . But they won in the end . ”

“General Lu and General Qi were not seriously injured, but they were badly wounded in a battle a few years later . After that, they took off their armor and went home . And they have been living in the mansions close to the outskirts of the capital all this time!”

Murong Xue nodded: “I see, so I need a plan to find out where the shadow guards are . ”

It was not that she did not believe the senior Prince Jing and the other two . Instead, after Murong Yue’s death, they had the easiest access to Murong Yue’s body, which made them prime suspects .

“What’s your plan?” Mu Liufeng peered at her with sparkling eyes, as if looking forward to hearing her strategy .

“You will find out soon . ” Murong Xue smiled unfathomably .

In the meantime, Murong Rou was lying in bed at the Garden of Tenderness, gnashing her teeth with hatred: “Song Tianwen not only asked his butler to read the letter of divorce in public, but also employed such a despicable way to take Qingyan back to the Mansion of Marquis Wu’an . He was obviously insulting me . He had gone too far this time!”

And Murong Xue was so intelligent and formidable that it was easy for her to send the butler of the Marquis Wu’an away and keep Qingyan . But she did not say or do anything, she just watched Qingyan being taken away . How abominable!

“The letter of divorce has been read, and Qingyan have been taken away . What’s the point in saying these now?” Murong Jian stood in the middle of the room and looked down at Murong Rou with a trace of impatience in his eyes .

“Song Tianwen has regained consciousness . You mutilated him by injuring him so badly, he would never let you go easily . Writing the letter of divorce and robbing your daughter were just the start . There must be more tricks awaiting . You’d better figure out how to deal with him first .

Murong Rou gnashed her teeth inwardly . Song Tianwen was a marquis of the second-class . Although he did not have real power, he had potential force . If he decided to retaliate against her crazily, as a vulnerable woman, she would be miserable no matter how capable she was .

“If only the invisible guards that were trained by Murong Yue fall in our hands!” By that time, let alone Song Tianwen, even ten more of him would bear comparison with the invisible guards .

“Does Murong Yue really have a group of formidable invisible guards?” Murong Jian could not fully believe it . He had heard Murong Rou mention those guards more than once . And she said they were all-conquering and invincible, which were miraculous beyond belief .

“It’s absolutely true . I heard Murong Yue telling Madam Shen that he had trained those guards, mainly to protect Madam Shen, Murong Ye and Murong Xue when he was out on the battlefield . ”

Murong Rou said lightly with undisguised irony flashing in her eyes . Murong Yue had tried his best to protect his vulnerable wife and kids . However, the fact was that he died in a battle while his gentle and beautiful wife was buried with him . Although his vulnerable son and daughter were still alive, they were often bullied by others and they were even deceived by her . Had he known these in the nether world, he would have absolutely turned in his grave .

She had always regarded this half-blooded elder brother as a thorn in her side! Despite his identity as the son of her father’s legal wife and his higher status than her, he had died before her .

Murong Jian narrowed his eyes slightly . Murong Yue had been smarter than others since he was young . No matter in terms of literary talent or military ability, he was far behind Yue, not to mention Yue’s excellent martial accomplishments and extraordinary ability of arranging troops and combating that were beyond his reach, which made him hate him even more out of jealousy!

If Murong Yue had really trained the shadow guards, he could absolutely not sniff at their ability: “I don’t think there will be shadow guards around Murong Xue and Murong Ye . ”

“Of course not!” Murong Rou shook her head and said with confidence: “We had schemed against Murong Ye and Murong Xue so many times . If there were shadow guards, she would have already ordered them to kill us directly!”

“The shadow guards of Murong Yue were not in his children’s hands, where will they be?” Murong Jian said in a low voice with his shrewd eyes narrowed slightly .

“I don’t know . ” Murong Rou shook her head with hidden bitterness: “But I know we can manipulate all the guards with a token . ”

Murong Jian: “What is that token?”

“I have no idea!” Murong Rou shook her head: “I’ve never seen it before, I just vaguely heard Murong Yue mention it . ” 

With a trace of frustration in his eyes, Murong Jian frowned and said: “We don’t even know what it is . How can we find it?”

“Why the rush? The shadow guards were trained for protecting Murong Ye and Murong Xue . Even if Murong Yue did not deliver the token in time when he died in the battle, there must be some clues left . ”

“That ignorant and incompetent moron, Murong Ye cannot find anything . We’d better not count on him but Murong Xue, who is smart and witty . Perhaps she will find something unexpected one day . As long as we keep an eye on her, we will find the token sooner or later . ”

Murong Rou said in a low voice with an uncanny smile . The years of painstaking efforts of Murong Yue were likely to fall in their hands, which made her feel excited at the mere thought .

“Sounds reasonable!” Murong Jian nodded with solemnity in his shrewd eyes: “I will tell servants to keep an eye on Murong Xue at all times . ”

The hundreds of all-conquering shadow guards were such a great temptation that he could not wait to find and take over them .

The night was cold like water and it was quiet in the suburbs of the capital . All mansions shrouded in darkness, which indicated that the owners had already turned off the light to rest . Men in black quietly went over the wall, sneaked into the courtyard one after another and ran directly towards the main house as if entering  an unpeopled land .
