211: Lu Qian stayed

When Jiang Chen mentioned Lu Qian, Cheng Yurou naturally understood.

This Deputy Commander of the Black Yamen must have already been taken care of by Xiao Chen.

Cheng Yurou not only didn't find this bad, but she was actually very happy about it.

Xiao Chen could fully do what he liked to do.

This was the real Jiang Chen.

If he were troubled and constrained because of them, Cheng Yurou would even blame herself.

Although Lu Qian was meeting Cheng Yurou for the first time, she had heard Jiang Chen mention her before.

It had to be said, that boy really had good fortune with women; he actually had such a beautiful sister-in-law... a beautiful and virtuous helper.

Although the two women were meeting for the first time, they conversed very happily.

"Jiang Chen truly accumulated several lifetimes of good fortune to have your companionship."

"Not at all, it's that boy's good fortune to have met Sister Lu."

As Cheng Yurou spoke, she led Lu Qian to a room.

"Sister Lu, this room is for you. See if you like it, and if there's anything missing, I'll have someone add it."

Lu Qian pushed the door open, and the entire room had been decorated by Cheng Yurou to be quite cozy.

For many years, Lu Qian was used to being on her own, and she didn't even have many close sisters. Even if she did, they rarely interacted, and she seldom experienced the feeling of living in a home.

She only spent more time Cultivating and had more experience facing demons; in other aspects, Lu Qian still had many areas where she was not proficient.

Moreover, Lu Qian hadn't expected Cheng Yurou to be so thoughtful, having prepared a room for her so early.

"I like it, I like it very much."

Lu Qian felt a little touched in her heart.

"I've already had the butler draw a hot bath, Sister Lu. You can wash up first and rest early. Xiao Chen won't be back until who knows when."

"Dinner is also being prepared. It should be ready when you're done washing up. There aren't many staff in the manor, so things might be a bit slower."

Cheng Yurou said.

"There's no need to be so polite. We're all used to eating and sleeping outdoors; having a bed is already a very superior condition."

"Younger Sister Yurou, you've put in a lot of effort."

"If Jiang Chen returns, tell me immediately. I have something urgent to discuss with him."

Lu Qian said.

Originally, Lu Qian had been urgently recalled.

It seemed that the order must have come from Mu Yuanzhang.

After all, in Mu Yuanzhang's view, Jiang Chen was promoted by Lu Qian, and many of his merits were recorded under Lu Qian's name. He wanted Lu Qian to persuade Jiang Chen to sacrifice his personal interests for the greater good.

However, he never expected that Lu Qian would be the first to resist.

Even the promise of making Lu Qian a Commander proved futile, which greatly surprised Mu Yuanzhang.

But one more Lu Qian, one less Lu Qian, it wouldn't affect the overall situation.

Jiang Chen and the others set off in the first half of the night.

By the time they reached the foot of Cangzhou City, it was already dawn.

"You all go back and rest. I'll report back to the yamen alone. Everyone, get some early rest; you've all worked hard on this journey."

Xu Yang said to the crowd.

As for the merits, they were all recorded in Commander Sun's merit book, so that couldn't be denied.

They were all comrades who had faced life and death together, so there was still that much trust.

Moreover, Xu Yang himself was the commander of this operation.

"In that case, thank you, Lord Xu."

"Thank you, Lord Xu."

Everyone was more or less tired.

After all, fighting against the Fenglan Sword Sect required absolute focus.

Even on the way back, they maintained a state of vigilance.

Now that they were back in Cangzhou City, they naturally relaxed a bit.

However, Jiang Chen still followed Xu Yang to the entrance of the Black Yamen.

He asked the duty officer on watch at the Black Yamen.

"Has Lord Lu Qian returned?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Replying to Lord Jiang, Lord Lu Qian is not in the yamen," the duty officer said.

Not here?

It seemed she hadn't returned.

"Alright, thank you for letting me know."

Afterward, Jiang Chen also went straight back to Ziyun Villa.

If the Fenglan Sword Sect wanted to negotiate, then they would negotiate.

If those people arrived, City Lord Sheng Yuntian would naturally inform him.

He didn't need to worry about it.

It was just dawn at this moment.

Ziyun Villa was silent.

When Jiang Chen returned to the Villa, he washed up and then impatiently burrowed into Cheng Yurou's covers.

"Ah... Xiao Chen... you're back."

Cheng Yurou was startled by Jiang Chen's sudden appearance.

She had just fallen asleep not long after greeting Lu Qian yesterday.

"Just arrived."

Jiang Chen embraced Cheng Yurou, ready to begin his 'attack'.

But he was stopped by Cheng Yurou.

"Xiao Chen, wait a moment... Sister Lu Qian is here, she's staying in that room. Go see her quickly, she seems to have a lot to tell you."

Cheng Yurou finally managed to block Jiang Chen's fervent Qi.

She only had time to speak after catching her breath.

"Ah? Sister Lu Qian? She came home?"

Jiang Chen instantly jolted, feeling as if he had been caught doing something naughty by Cheng Yurou.

But luckily, he had honestly confessed to Cheng Yurou earlier.

Otherwise, it would have been awkward.

However, in Jiang Chen's opinion, Lu Qian must have something very urgent, or the situation was very special, which was why she came to his home to find him. After all, Lu Qian was not someone who liked to be jealous.

"Mhm, mhm, go to her quickly."

"I'm also a bit sleepy; I need to catch up on sleep."

Cheng Yurou said understandingly.

"Then I'll go see her first; it must be something important."

Jiang Chen said.

Jiang Chen simply walked towards Lu Qian's room, swaggering in just a pair of shorts.

Who knew he hadn't even reached it yet?

He ran into Li Yan, who was just about to go to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Normally, it wasn't this early.

But since there was a guest today, Li Yan planned to prepare a bit earlier.

Li Yan immediately looked at Jiang Chen's muscular physique.

And that mere pair of shorts.

The magnificent sight that couldn't be resisted.

She instantly took a sharp intake of cold air.

Her heart pounded violently.

"Young... Young Master, good morning..."

Li Yan swallowed, speaking with difficulty, relying on her professional composure.

"Cough, cough, morning..."

Jiang Chen also composed himself, greeted her, and then hastily slipped into Lu Qian's room.

Seeing Jiang Chen leave, Li Yan finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The flush on her face lingered for a long time.

However, Li Yan had only walked a few steps when she heard a voice she had never heard before coming from the room Jiang Chen had just entered.

It was the dignified, somewhat authoritative beautiful woman she had seen last night.

"Young Master is... is truly strong."

Li Yan blushed, and after a moment, she ran into the kitchen to prepare.

Even in the kitchen, she could faintly hear sounds coming from the room.
