The eldest brother Jiang Zhencang once personally trained eighteen followers. They were not only extraordinary in fighting power, but also loyal and willing to die in any battle!
Therefore, they are called the "Eighteen Iron-Blooded Guards".
According to the rules of Jiang Mansion, there must be no less than three iron guard leaders patrolling outside the gate.
But now, not to mention the iron guards, there are not even any ordinary guards. The entire Jiang family mansion actually gives off an aura of precarious decay.
Jiang Hao walked into the unprotected Jiang Mansion with doubts. As soon as I saw it, there was a woman in her thirties standing in the middle of the courtyard——
She has fair skin and soft facial features. She is not very beautiful, but she has a gentle and gentle temperament that calms people's hearts. Her every move is full of grace, but there is an unconcealed tiredness in her eyebrows.
Jiang Hao's eyes were red and he called softly: "Sister Jingyue."
The woman's name is "Su Jingyue", and she and her eldest brother Jiang Zhencang can be called childhood sweethearts, and the two families have already made an engagement.
At that time, everyone believed that the Jiang family was bound to decline, and some of the forces that had originally attached to it chose to draw a clear line.
However, Su Jingyue still married Jiang Zhencang without any hesitation!
After her marriage, she took charge of the internal affairs of the Jiang Mansion and managed all affairs in an orderly and convincing manner. It can be said that she has half of the credit for Jiang Mansion's revival!
And Su Jingyue treated Jiang Hao like a close relative and would never be willing to treat him harshly.
Therefore, Jiang Hao has deep feelings for her, even though he always calls her "Sister Jingyue". In fact, this woman's status in his mind is the same as that of his mother!
"You, you are Xiaohao!?"
Su Jingyue was stunned for a long time, carefully distinguishing the face of the young man in front of her.
Immediately, a look of ecstasy emerged from her, and she rushed forward uncontrollably: "Are you really Xiao Hao?"
She looked a bit trembling, fearing that what she saw in front of her was just a dream that would be shattered by a touch.
"It's me, Sister Jingyue, I'm back."
Jiang Hao's eyes were sore, and he squatted down slightly as he did when he was young, letting Su Jingyue gently stroke his head.
Su Jingyue let out a "woo" and her tears couldn't help but burst out. She hugged Jiang Hao and said, "You are really back! Five years! Where have you been after five years? I Your elder brother and I had a hard time looking for you."
Heartbroken weeping.
Su Jingyue had no children after her marriage to Jiang Zhencang. In her heart, she always regarded the youngest son of the Jiang family as her own child——
Four years of nurturing and dedication.
Therefore, when Jiang Hao disappeared mysteriously five years ago, she searched almost frantically, almost overturning the capital and even the entire Canglan Kingdom!
In the warm atmosphere, a harsh voice suddenly sounded: "Jingyue, have you considered it carefully? It's rare that the head of the Yuan family does not dislike you for being married and is willing to take you as his concubine, so why are you so stubborn? Do you still count on Jiang Zhen? Cang comes back? Even if he is lucky enough to be released by His Majesty, he is already a waste now, and the Yuan family can crush him to death with one finger!"
Jiang Hao's body tensed up suddenly: Waste? Brother!?
The man who spoke was about sixty years old, with a fair and long beard, a tall and straight figure, and looked quite gentlemanly.
However, as long as you understand a little bit about his personality, you will feel scornful——
This man's name is "Su Dingkun", he is Su Jingyue's cousin and the current head of the Su family.
He had always acted according to the circumstances. When Jiang Hao's parents disappeared and the Jiang family was in decline, he was the first to jump out and advocate for breaking away from the Jiang family and resolutely not allow Su Jingyue to marry.
When the Jiang family was revived, he immediately changed his face and began to flatter him crazily.
It can be said that this person has always acted according to the prevailing circumstances and behaved shamelessly.
"Although the Su family is not a century-old family, they should still know etiquette, justice and integrity! If you want to please the Yuan family, it is your own business and has nothing to do with me."
Su Jingyue took a deep breath and said with determination, "Now, please go out, we don't welcome you in Jiang Mansion!"
"Shut up! You are a child of my Su family. What you say and do must be for the sake of our Su family! Can you do whatever you want?"
Su Dingkun was furious, "The head of the Yuan family promised that as long as you marry, our Su family's status in Canglan Kingdom will remain the same, or even be able to improve it! Today, it is best if you are willing. If you are not willing - it is not up to you! Give me the Take her back!"
As soon as he finished speaking, four guards around him had already pressed forward. One of the older guards smiled sinisterly: "Miss, don't embarrass us. We heard that the head of the Yuan family has long been in love with you. If you marry The Yuan family has been prosperous and wealthy for a lifetime, why should they sink with the Jiang family?"
"Presumptuous! Do you know where this is?"
Su Jingyue raised her eyebrows and shouted sternly.
It's a pity that Jiang Mansion no longer has enough guard strength. The guards are not afraid and are still pressing forward step by step.
Although Su Jingyue acts grandly, she is not good at cultivation, so her current cultivation is only at the Juyuan Realm, and the several guards in front of her each have the first level of Tongxuan Realm!
Therefore, they reached out and grabbed Su Jingyue's arm -
"Is this Jiang Mansion the place where you show your dog paws?"
At that moment, a cold sound exploded, and then a bright light flew out from Jiang Hao's fingers and circled around the arms of the four Su family guards!
"ah!"
Suddenly, a shrill howl sounded.
The four guards were horrified to find that their arms fell silently after being slashed by the light. After waiting for several seconds, blood spurted out!
They staggered back, shouting in fear: "Master!"
Su Dingkun was shocked, and then he focused his attention on Jiang Hao: "Where does this wild boy dare to interfere in the internal affairs of our Su family?"
Jiang Hao chuckled indifferently: "Your Excellency, you are very forgetful. Back then, you called out 'Young Master Jiang' with a stern look on your face. Have you forgotten it now?"
After the Jiang family re-emerged in the past, in order to restore his impression in the minds of the Jiang family, Su Dingkun visited the house several times to flatter him and offered various rare treasures.
Especially knowing how much Jiang Zhencang loves his younger brother, he tries to please him in every possible way. Unfortunately, Jiang Hao doesn't bother to pay attention to him at all.
"It's you!"
Su Dingkun recognized Jiang Hao's identity, and his body trembled in shock, "Are you the youngest son of the Jiang family? You, you are actually still alive!?"
Five years ago, the youngest son of the Jiang family disappeared. Many people believed that he must have been kidnapped by enemies of the Jiang family and had died without a burial place.
Because of this, he had never realized Jiang Hao's identity before.
Su Dingkun clearly remembered what a monster this young son of the Jiang family was——
At a young age, he once made many plans to trap several top aristocratic families, and finally forced them to break their muscles and bones, and almost destroyed them!
At that time, Jiang Hao was only eight years old!
