Three years later, when I returned to Jinghua City, everything had changed.

"Your Highness!"

A deep and deep voice, like a stone thrown into the lake of his heart inadvertently, brought Lu Chengfeng back to the present from his distant thoughts.

There was a soreness on the tip of my nose, and before I could turn around to see who was coming, my slightly blurred vision was coldly blocked by the man's broad and strong shoulders.

"Is Commander Jiang here to bring me to justice again?"

Lu Chengfeng didn't even need to move his eyes upward to recognize the outline of this figure. Who else could it be if it wasn't Jiang Chengzi?

This person looks like an enemy but not an enemy, a friend but not a friend. It is difficult to figure out whether he is giving way to the wind.

From the time he used bamboo branches to remind him not to return to the capital, to the rescue of people at the execution ground a few days ago, Jiang Chengzi seemed to be on Lu Chengfeng's side, always protecting him silently and secretly when he was unexpected.

However, as the commander-in-chief of the imperial court, the Jinwu Guards always only obeyed the orders of the emperor himself. It seems that his actions were contrary to Emperor Jing's explicit orders.

Emperor Jing said he wanted to kill him, but he came to save him. Could it be that the emperor was setting up a chess game?

Lu Chengfeng was confused when he thought about the time many years ago when he jumped out of his father's golden chariot and rolled down in a hurry, and it was Jiang Chengzi who saved him.

Even the opportunity to kneel down in front of the Emperor's Grandfather's palace and express his feelings was due to Jiang Chengzi's help.

But thinking about the heartache of that midsummer, the miserable situation of kneeling until the sky was dark and no one cared about him, Lu Chengfeng was once again convinced that the emperor was so ruthless and he would never change it overnight.

Then there is only one possibility left. This Jiang Chengzi probably cares about his master's old relationship, so he protects himself for his master.

Thinking of this, Lu Chengfeng spoke and responded in a low voice: "Uncle Master!"

A glimmer of light flashed in Jiang Chengzi's silent eyes, and he nodded immediately. He immediately pulled Lu Chengfeng and Fufeng aside and whispered:

"It seems you all know this. This is not the place to talk. Come on, follow me!"

Lu Chengfeng never expected that Jiang Chengzi would not take the two siblings to his house or an inn, but would temporarily place them in the Chenghuang Temple in the south of the city.

That's right, when he first came to Beijing, it was the ruined Temple of the City God where he and Wu Jingmo tracked down the massacre of the Jiang family. It was also the place where he and brother Jingmo swore an oath to become brothers.

The Chenghuang Temple is still there, but Brother Jingmo is no longer there! Lu Chengfeng

My eyes immediately became wet!

Looking back, today's Chenghuang Temple is full of incense and is no longer just a ruined building, and there are no beggars in ragged clothes.

Looking around, faithful men and women were walking around, kowtowing devoutly to the statues of gods, and silently reciting prayers for the world. Many of them were praying for peace and health.

It was the war-torn era that contributed to the revival of this ruined temple.

When Jiang Chengzi took the two siblings to the Zen room in the backyard and sat down, Lu Chengfeng still had an undercurrent in his heart.

Shao Qing saw that both Jiang Chengzi and Senior Sister Fufeng remained inexplicably silent. Lu Chengfeng suppressed his own anxious mind and asked Jiang Chengzi:

"Commander Jiang, anyone who falls in my way will not end well. You are in a high position, why do you want to take risks and make trouble for me?"

Jiang Chengzi glanced at Lu Chengfeng, knowing that he was worried out of good intentions, for fear of dragging him into trouble, so he softly said "Huh" and sighed longly:

"Since you call me uncle, I will naturally protect you. Besides, this is also my bounden duty as a guardian."

"Guardian?" Lu Chengfeng muttered, just thinking it was Jin Wuwei's new name.

Turning his face to the side, he saw Senior Sister Fufeng nodding heavily. The corners of her eyes and brows suddenly became solemn, as if there was a heavy burden on her shoulders.

"Uncle Master, for so many years, Master and we all thought you had forgotten..."

Fufeng raised his head, looked at Jiang Chengzi's eyes seriously but unexpectedly, and murmured.

"No! I didn't forget!"

Jiang Chengzi's resolute face raised a strong arc, and he frowned and said:

"As a disciple of Nanli Jiang's Guardian Family, I, Jiang Chengzi, have never forgotten my responsibilities and missions. I just have different paths from your master! In the end, we have to reach the same destination through different paths..."

His gaze gently swept over Lu Chengfeng's pale cheek, like a hopeful green bud blooming quietly in the early spring.

"Nanli!" Lu Chengfeng exclaimed with a flash of astonishment in his eyes. He soon understood.

"Then why are you still working for that dog emperor of Dajing!?"

Fufeng's tone was aggressive.

"Those who make great wishes are not limited to nationality or race! Furthermore, everything I have done is not for the people of Nanli? Do I have to continue to let the people endure it?

The ordeal of war?”

Jiang Chengzi smiled disdainfully and retorted sarcastically.

"Uncle Master, have you ever seen the Nanli people who were beaten by these Jing people at the city gate today? Is this what you wanted to see when you defected to Dajing? We Nanli people have become the inferior subjects of Jingguo!

Just roll your eyes! All Master wants is justice! Justice is the law of heaven!"

Fufeng's face turned red due to excitement, just like a blooming hibiscus.

However, Jiang Chengzi only noticed the burning anger in Fufeng's eyes, like the newly withered grass on the Lili Plain, burning at every turn.

Jiang Chengzi said alertly: "How do you say this? What is your master's plan?"

"Hmph! You've already said it, people with different principles don't agree with each other! What does this matter have to do with you! I can't ask you to go back to that dog emperor to claim credit!"

Fufeng's strong nature was aroused by Jiang Chengzi, and the words flying out of his two thin lips were like a sharp sword unsheathed, saying:

Jiang Chengzi was choked by Fufeng's words, and his bronze face suddenly turned blue and white, but he never looked sullen.

Shaoqing, he whispered: "Let's talk! What's the plan? Do you need my help?"

Fufeng's eyes suddenly trembled, and she looked at this fellow martial uncle who she had hated for a long time but was so unfamiliar to her with an expression of disbelief.

Even Lu Chengfeng, who was making soy sauce on the side, couldn't help but ask:

"Senior sister, Master gave me all kinds of detoxification and self-defense items after all these instructions. I thought he..."

"Do you still think Master won't intervene? Junior brother, you have to remember that you are the hope of all of us in Nanli, and protecting you is our bounden duty!"

Fufeng's face already looked at death, affectionate and solemn.

"Sure enough, I guessed right! Your Highness is Nanli's destined son! The little baby in Princess Yaoyue's arms back then!"

Jiang Chengzi made a fist in the air with his big hand and said with a smile.

"Since the son of destiny is still alive, I, Jiang Chengzi, hope that His Highness will obey you! You will definitely live up to my vocation as the guardian of Nanli!"

Jiang Chengzi suddenly knelt down on one knee and saluted Lu Chengfeng, speaking seriously.

He saw Lu Chengfeng looking confused, while Fufeng kept looking at him with his peripheral vision doubtfully.

He stood up, patted Fufeng on the shoulder, and said with a smile:
Chapter completed!
