Jinyiwei: Starting by Killing a Traitorous Superior – Chapter 15

Ch 15: A Shocking Case

“Good saber!”

He exclaimed sincerely.

This Blood Sabre was not only incomparably sharp but also exuded an unspeakable killing intent, as if it was born for the battlefield and came for slaughter.

Jiang Chen knew that this Blood Sabre was definitely not an ordinary item and would certainly play a huge role in his future cultivation path.

He gently stroked the blade, feeling the ancient chill.

……

A night passed without incident.

The next morning, as the first ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds and sprinkled on the bluestone slabs of the Pacification Bureau, Jiang Chen had already tidied his clothes and swaggered into the Jinyiwei.

His steps were steady and confident, as if nothing that had happened last night had affected him in any way.

Just as he arrived at the entrance of the Pacification Bureau, Jiang Chen keenly sensed an unusual atmosphere.

He looked up and saw three Battalion Commanders, nine Deputy Commanders, and twenty-seven Battalion Commanders under Meng Wangjin, the Azure Dragon Envoy, all arriving at the entrance of the Eastern Pacification Bureau with solemn expressions.

They wore the Flying Fish Uniforms unique to the Jinyiwei, with Embroidered Spring Blades at their waists, their figures as straight as pine trees, and their aura as fierce as wolves.

The arrival of these Jinyiwei experts undoubtedly made the atmosphere of the entire Pacification Bureau even more tense.

Jiang Chen thought to himself, what exactly were these Jinyiwei experts gathering for?

Could it be related to last night’s secret letter?

He stood quietly to the side, observing their actions.

He saw them talking in low voices, occasionally someone looking up into the distance, as if waiting for some important news.

The plaza of the Eastern Pacification Bureau was vast and boundless, like a vast plain, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people gathering at the same time without appearing crowded.

Around the plaza, ancient trees towered into the sky, and bluestone paved the ground, making it appear solemn and dignified.

At this time, the sunlight filtered through the clouds, dappling the plaza, adding a bit of solemnity to this upcoming important moment.

Meng Wangjin, wearing the Jinyiwei’s Flying Fish Uniform, looked even more heroic and extraordinary.

He stood on high, overlooking the entire plaza, his expression serious and his face extremely cold, like the cold wind in winter, making people shudder.

In his deep eyes, a look of anger flashed, obviously, he was truly enraged to be so out of control.

Behind him was a huge brocade flag, embroidered with an Azure Dragon totem, lifelike, as if it would take off at any moment and soar above the nine heavens.

This brocade flag was the symbol of the Eastern Jinyiwei.

Time slowly passed, and after about a cup of tea’s time, most of the Jinyiwei of the Eastern Pacification Bureau above the rank of Xiaoqi had arrived at the scene.

They wore uniform Flying Fish Uniforms, with sharp Embroidered Spring Blades at their waists, their steps were uniform, and their aura was like a rainbow.

Meng Wangjin stood on high, his eyes like torches, scanning the dense Jinyiwei below, and without caring whether everyone was present, he spoke directly, his voice steady and powerful, piercing through the noisy crowd and echoing in the vast Eastern Pacification Bureau plaza: “Yesterday, Princess Yuling was kidnapped in the Imperial Palace, and this matter has already alarmed The Emperor.”

His tone carried an unquestionable majesty, and every word was like a heavy hammer, striking the hearts of everyone present.

The Jinyiwei in the plaza, upon hearing this, all had a look of shock on their faces, and their eyes revealed surprise.

“His Majesty is furious and has issued an order.”

Meng Wangjin’s voice was even lower, but even more forceful: “The Jinyiwei must recover Princess Yuling before dark, without fail. Otherwise, the salary of everyone in the Jinyiwei will be halved this year as a punishment.”

As soon as this was said, everyone’s faces showed a hint of astonishment.

Princess Yuling was the current Emperor’s most beloved daughter, who had been showered with love since childhood.

Her beauty was captivating, and her temperament was noble, like a celestial maiden falling into the mortal world, making her unforgettable at first sight.

The Ming Emperor’s protection of her could be said to be airtight.

What’s more, the current Ming Emperor’s martial arts had already reached the legendary Martial Saint Realm, and his strength was unfathomable.

Even if a Dharma Aspect Expert personally took action, it would be impossible to quietly kidnap Princess Yuling under the Ming Emperor’s nose.

The Dharma Aspect Realm was the highest realm in martial arts, capable of condensing a Dharma Appearance and possessing earth-shattering power.

However, in front of the Martial Saint expert, The Emperor, the Dharma Aspect Expert was nothing more than an ant.

But even so, Princess Yuling was still missing.

“Then how could she suddenly disappear in the Imperial Palace?”

Jiang Chen frowned slightly, unable to help but think.

“The current Emperor has said that whoever can find Princess Yuling will be richly rewarded.”

Meng Wangjin said seriously: “There are still five hours before dark, I hope you can seize the time.”

“Since it happened last night, could Princess Yuling have already been taken away and left the Capital City?”

Listening to Meng Wangjin’s words, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but think.

But as soon as this thought appeared, he immediately dismissed it.

The current Great Ming Emperor had been on the throne for more than thirty years, and his civil and military achievements were all top-notch. He was a man of deep thought and could be described as cunning and wise.

Since he gave five hours, then he must be confident that Princess Yuling had definitely not been taken out of the Capital City.

Otherwise, five hours would not even be enough time to chase someone, let alone find Princess Yuling.

“But where exactly could she be?”

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Chen shook his head and decided to give up on this mission.

After all, even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up.

So what if half of his salary is deducted?

He didn’t rely on his salary to live. If his performance was too outstanding and he was targeted by those experts, wouldn’t he die without even knowing how he died?

The person who could kidnap Princess Yuling under the Emperor’s nose must have a huge force behind them.

If he offended them, he would probably die without even knowing how he died in the future.

Thinking this in his heart, Jiang Chen already had plans to slack off.

Just at this moment, a notification sound rang in his ear.

“Ding! Mission triggered.”

“Please find out the truth of Princess Yuling’s disappearance and successfully retrieve Princess Yuling within five hours.”

“Mission reward: Eye of Investigation （ can investigate the target’s name and realm. ）”

Hearing the System’s notification sound, Jiang Chen’s eyes lit up immediately.

This Eye of Investigation was really too practical. In the future, he would be able to see the enemy’s realm at a glance.

With this skill, he would no longer be afraid of enemies launching sneak attacks.

“But… where is he going to find that Princess Yuling?”

Just as he was pondering, Wu Tao had already come to him.

“The situation is urgent now. We must at least ensure that Princess Yuling is not in the area under the jurisdiction of our Eastern Pacification Bureau. Otherwise, if it is found out in the future that she escaped the Capital City from the area under our responsibility, I’m afraid it will be difficult to save our heads.”

Looking at Wu Tao’s anxious appearance, Jiang Chen suddenly remembered the letter from last night.
