Jiang Chen could hear the concern in Yang Muxi's voice, and his eyes sparkled with golden light, but his face remained worried.

He sighed and said, "Muxi, you don't understand. One can be a thief for a thousand days, but one cannot guard against a thief for a thousand days."

"Those rebellious traitors with malicious intentions can fail a thousand times, but as long as they succeed once, I will lose my life."

Hearing this, Yang Muxi's delicate eyebrows furrowed with worry, and she couldn't help but ask, "Then what about the guards around you?"

"Not to mention anything else, that woman named Jing Yue is not someone to be trifled with. With her guarding you, I don't believe anything will happen to you!"

Hearing the fluctuations in her tone, Jiang Chen continued to add fuel to the fire, "These rebels want to harm me, so naturally they will do everything possible. Even if the people around me are meticulous, there will always be times of carelessness."

"To tell you the truth, before, when I was in the palace, several waves of assassins sneaked in to carry out assassinations."

"You should have seen the madness of those assassins in your small courtyard last time. These people will do anything to put me to death."

Yang Muxi's face was tense, "I remember, your shadow guards are quite capable. You were able to escape safely last time, and they deserve a lot of credit."

Jiang Chen shook his head and said lightly, "Not enough."

"The feng chan journey is long and the personnel are numerous. It is impossible for me to concentrate all the protection on myself and ignore my loved ones."

Hearing this, Yang Muxi fell silent.

Although Jiang Chen is a liar, it is undeniable that he is indeed a responsible man who will not abandon his subordinates at critical moments.

However, is this bastard sure that she can't let him go, and is deliberately playing the victim?!

Thinking of how she had been tricked by Jiang Chen before, and even regarded him as a confidant, Yang Muxi's teeth itched with hatred.

She snorted coldly, "I'm just a small Taoist temple master, why are you telling me this?"

"As an emperor, it's easy to find capable people and strangers, so why say it so pitifully?"

Not caring about Yang Muxi's cold face, Jiang Chen looked solemn and said affectionately, "Muxi, maybe there are many capable people in the world, but those who can make me trust from the bottom of my heart and entrust my life to are rare."

"For so many years, besides Jing Yue, who grew up with me, only you have gained this trust!"

"For the sake of me being willing to entrust my life to you, can you accompany me on this feng chan journey?"

Hearing this, Yang Muxi pursed her red lips, slandering in her heart.

Heh, as expected, she knew that this bastard's purpose was not pure!

Accompanying the emperor to Mount Tai, such a long journey, this bastard will definitely not be honest... If something happens, wouldn't she be eaten to death?

He still has the mind to play these little tricks, it seems that this feng chan ceremony at Mount Tai is not as dangerous as he said!

Seeing through Jiang Chen's sinister intentions, Yang Muxi glared her beautiful eyes and refused decisively: "Get out, I won't fall for your tricks!"

"I said, the bridge goes its way, and the road goes its way. What does your life and death have to do with me? I'm leaving, don't block my way!"

After saying that, she flicked her wide sleeves and left without the slightest nostalgia.

The resolute back made Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration.

Wasn't the conversation going well just now? Why did she change her face so quickly?

However, Jiang Chen was not discouraged for too long, and quickly adjusted his mentality, watching the exquisite figure leave.

As an emperor, what he wants, he must get it at all costs.

Yang Muxi is no exception.

Isn't it just a matter of time? He has the time, and one day, he will make her willingly obey!

After a while, Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze and prepared to return to the palace, but Jing Yue, who was hiding in the dark, suddenly appeared, with an unhappy expression on her face:

"Your Majesty, do you want your subordinate to take action and capture this Yang Muxi back to the palace?"

"You kindly advised her, but this woman frequently showed you a cold face, she really doesn't know what's good for her. If you don't mind, your subordinate can discipline her on your behalf!"

Jiang Chen shook his head and said with a smile, "No need, this girl is stubborn and inflexible, we have to use a gentle policy with her."

"But, your subordinate sees that she is determined to leave. If she really leaves, it will be difficult to find her踪迹 in the future." Jing Yue frowned.

Jiang Chen remained noncommittal: "No, I can see that she has feelings for me in her heart."

"If it was before today, she might be able to harden her heart and disappear from my side, but now that she knows the danger of the feng chan ceremony at Mount Tai, she will never let me go and live freely alone."

"So don't worry, after a while, when she sorts out her feelings, she will definitely come back to find me."

Jing Yue didn't understand, but she always unconditionally trusted Jiang Chen, so she didn't say anything more and quietly retreated.

Just as Jiang Chen was preparing to return to the palace, a guard he had left in the gathering suddenly appeared and reported anxiously:

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened, Young Master Jia is in trouble!"

Jiang Chen frowned, and a name instantly appeared in his mind, and he sternly said: "Did Li Zhiping do it?"

The guard nodded慌张, trembling: "Reporting to Your Majesty, your subordinate, your subordinate doesn't know, but it's probably related to this person."

"Young Master Jia has never had any grudges with anyone. Now that he has been suddenly kidnapped, it is likely that Li Zhiping is deliberately retaliating."

A murderous intent flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes.

"This Li Zhiping is really tired of living. I rarely show kindness and don't care about his僭越, but I didn't expect this guy to take the initiative to seek death."

"Go, go back with me and teach him what rules are!"

"Yes!"

The forbidden soldiers disguised as servants and guards immediately took action without any delay.

It only took the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to quickly find the whereabouts of Li Zhiping and his gang.

At the same time, in a remote 民居 outside the gathering.

Jia Yao was thrown on the bluestone floor, tied up, with a cloth strip stuffed in his mouth, only a pair of beautiful eyes, in惊恐 tears.

In front of her stood dozens of burly men, looking ferocious,簇拥 behind Li Zhiping, who had a阴沉 complexion.

Looking at the瑟瑟抖 Jia Yao, Li Zhiping阴沉 said: "Young Master Jia, if something happens to you today, don't blame Li!"

"When I绑 you here, Li has already left clues. As long as that小白脸 comes, Li will let you leave safely... But if he doesn't come, Li's resentment can only be vented on you!"

Hearing the murderous intent in his words, Jia Yao's heart trembled, and he tried to calm himself: "Li Zhiping, since you know that I am from the Jia family, you dare to offend me?"

"My Jia family has been officials for generations, and has extensive connections in the court. In addition, I am also a disciple of the emperor. Aren't you afraid of being retaliated against by my family and by His Majesty?"

Hearing this, a hint of disdain appeared between Li Zhiping's eyebrows: "Jia Yao, I, Li Zhiping, have been licking blood from the knife for so many years, I haven't lived in vain!"

"You have a background, don't I have one?"

"Not to mention the high-ranking officials I have结交, even my own background, if I say it, it will scare you into软!"
