Chapter 439: The General is a Thief

Translator: Lonelytree 

On the roof of the high-walled tile house in General’s mansion, a man in black clothes and a black veil was flying very lightly and quickly. His target was the Butler’s room in the general’s mansion.

When he arrived at his destination, he listened carefully. After confirming there was nothing unusual, he carefully moved a tile and revealed a small hole. Through this small hole, he saw a man with a big belly as fat as a pig lying on the bed, sleeping soundly.

A soybean immediately appeared in Jiang Zhennan’s palm, and he directly hit the man’s sleeping acupoint.

After completing this action, he carefully covered the tile back and jumped down nimbly and easily. He took out a thin iron wire and put it through the crack of the door. Then, he gently locked the door bolt and moved it gently. Finally, he went in.

He walked straight to the person and rudely kicked him to the other side of the bed. Then, he reached under the pillow and found a bunch of keys.

He took the key and left, heading in the direction of the warehouse.

He used the key to open the warehouse. His goal was clear. He went straight to the cabinet on the left, opened the few boxes in the cabinet, and rummaged through them one by one as if he was looking for something.

After rummaging through a few boxes, there was only one drawer left. His face, which was covered by the black cloth, frowned slightly, as if he was a little confused. He pulled open the last drawer and rummaged through it a few more times. Finally, the corner of his mouth rose slightly as he finally found it.

After getting the items, he glanced around his warehouse. After seeing a few precious medicinal herbs, he took them away without hesitation.

After he got the things, he went back to the Butler’s room, put the key back under his pillow, and moved him back to his original position very roughly.

When he closed the door again, he used the iron wire to hook the door bolt back.

This series of actions only took a short moment before everything returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

When the man in black left the Butler’s room, his brows furrowed again as if he was a little worried. Then, he avoided all the guards of the general’s residence and went straight to the East courtyard, where Jiang Zhennan’s study was.

At the door of the study room, two guards were standing upright and talking.

“Sigh, it’s been a few months, and there’s been no news at all. Is it really like what the Butler said? That our general suddenly wants to rest and doesn’t want to know where he went?”

“That’s right. Our general joined the Army when he was ten years old, and now he’s twenty years old. I heard that he hasn’t had a good rest for more than ten years. Since he became the general, he has won almost every battle. When the enemy countries hear his name, they are so scared that their legs go soft.

“The war at the border has just stopped. The other border countries are no longer in the mood to fight with our kingdom. Our country also needs to recuperate. Now that our general wants to take the opportunity to rest, we should let him.”

“However, isn’t three to four months without any news a little abnormal? Do you think something happened to the general?” One of the guards said with some doubt and worry.

The other guard chuckled. Then, he said sternly, “what nonsense! Our general is so brave and heroic. How could something happen to him? Didn’t the Butler say that our general went to relax and rest? After a few days, the general will return. ”

It was just that they had never encountered such a situation before.

The general either stayed in the Long Yan Kingdom to protect the border from being invaded, or he stayed directly in the general’s residence in the capital. He never went anywhere else. He didn’t interact with the other court officials. This made hundreds of officials hate him, but they were helpless.

However, this time, the general and the heir of the Marquis Guo family had suddenly disappeared for a few months. It was indeed very worrying.

When Jiang Zhennan, who had his face covered, heard his subordinates’ words, his eyes darkened slightly. Then, with his face covered, he quickly sealed their acupuncture points.

Then, he walked straight to the two of them, pulled down his veil, and said in a low voice, “little 38, little 12, listen to me. I’m your general, Jiang Zhennan. I’ve been harmed by someone and can’t return to the general’s residence. I need to wait for the right time. However, I really need your help right now. I’ll open your acupuncture points now, but you must keep your voices down. You can’t scream, understand?”
