After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy

Chapter 168 Young Master, when did you understand the formation?

If it were in her previous life, she could be 100% sure that Xu Rui would not care about her so much, and it would be even more impossible for him to arrange secret guards to protect her. It was very likely that he would monitor her.

But in this life, he seemed to treat her differently. He had known that someone would break into her room at night, and perhaps he had really sent secret guards to protect her, or perhaps to protect his own dignity as a man.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xu Rui couldn't help but move closer to her and asked cautiously, "That person is here again, isn't he?"

Jiang Xiyu knew that this matter could not be hidden from her. Even her illness was reported. It was impossible not to report this.

"Yes, it's a pity your men didn't stop him."

Xu Rui apologized self-reproachfully, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I will definitely ask them to strengthen the guards in the future."

The Jinwei were already his most powerful group of death squads, but unexpectedly they still couldn't stop Gulin.

It seems that he underestimated Gulin.

Thinking of Gulin, Xu Rui's pupils shrank slightly, "He didn't do anything to you, did he?"

Jiang Xiyu glanced at Xu Rui and shook her head almost without any hesitation.

"No, I stabbed him in the heart. He probably won't come here again."

Even though she didn't want to grow old with Xu Rui, she didn't want to tell him that she had lost her innocence.

Xu Rui already knew that Jiang Xiyu had stabbed Gulin. This further proved that she had no feelings for Gulin and didn't even know that the man was Gulin.

Although she seemed to be resistant to him now, at least she didn't like Gulin either, which made him very excited. After all, Gulin had no chance at all, while he had plenty of opportunities.

Xu Rui thought about it and couldn't help but move closer to Jiang Xiyu, "Xi'er, I really want to be by your side and protect you personally."

Jiang Xiyu rolled her eyes in her heart, but on the surface she still tried to persuade him, "You shouldn't have come back. His Majesty sent you to the north to suppress bandits. This is an imperial decree. If you come back without permission and others know about it, something terrible will happen."

"I know, so I can't stay long and will leave soon." Then he changed the subject, "You had a nightmare just now. Were you scared by that person?"

Jiang Xiyu's eyes flickered slightly. There was more than just the masked man in her nightmare. She pretended to be calm and said, "I'm fine. I'm almost recovered. You don't have to worry about me."

"Well, go back to sleep. I'll wait here until you fall asleep, and then I'll leave."

How could Jiang Xiyu sleep with him here? But she didn't want to be in the same space with him, so she could only force herself to fall asleep quickly.

After a stick of incense, Jiang Xiyu finally fell asleep again.

Xu Rui looked at her peaceful sleeping face, reluctant to leave for a long time. Finally, he gently kissed her forehead and helped her change the quilt before leaving.

As soon as he left the main house, the leader of the Golden Guards appeared in front of him, "Young Master."

Xu Rui looked at the Qin Palace next door and whispered, "Has that man appeared in the past few days?"

The leader of the Golden Guards didn't think much about it and said truthfully, "No, that man was seriously injured. I guess he'll be quiet for a while."

Xu Rui narrowed his eyes and said, "Follow me."

Xu Rui jumped up and disappeared into the night.

The leader of the Golden Guards hurried to follow.

Xu Rui did not go anywhere else, but sneaked directly into the Qin Palace next door.

The leader of the Jin Guards did not expect Xu Rui to sneak into the Prince of Qin's Mansion, so he immediately followed closely and did not dare to ask anything.

Xu Rui took the leader of the Golden Guards and wandered around the Prince of Qin's Palace first.

Soon, Xu Rui discovered that Gulin was not in the Prince Qin's Mansion.

However, there are quite a few secret guards in the Prince Qin's Mansion, and there are formations everywhere.

After Xu Rui confirmed that Gulin was not there, he took the leader of the Golden Guard to Gulin's study.

The two men successfully avoided the secret guards of the Prince of Qin's Mansion and were trapped in the formation as soon as they arrived in the yard.

"Don't walk around, there is a formation here." Just as the leader of the Golden Guards was about to walk around, Xu Rui grabbed his hand to stop him.

The leader of the Golden Guards didn't dare to move for a moment and looked at Xu Rui nervously.

He didn't expect that Gulin would set up a formation in the mansion.

"Follow me. Wherever I go, you must follow. Don't miss a step."

"Yes." The leader of the Golden Guards responded nervously.

Every time Xu Rui took a step, he recalled the chess game he had played with Jiang Kun before, and played according to the chess plan step by step.

The leader of the Golden Guards didn't dare to think about anything and just followed Xu Rui's steps.

After walking around for a cup of tea, Xu Rui successfully broke the formation in the yard.

Once the formation was broken, the real scene in the courtyard was instantly revealed.

The leader of the Golden Guards was overjoyed and immediately looked at Xu Rui excitedly, "Young Master, when did you understand the formation?"

Xu Rui raised his lips proudly.

He didn't understand, but his father-in-law did.

Jiang Kun was not only good at leading troops in battle, but also good at military tactics and formations. So when he accompanied Jiang Xiyu back to the Jiang Mansion, he deliberately arranged the formation of the Prince of Qin's Mansion into a chessboard when playing chess with Jiang Kun, and asked Jiang Kun to help crack it. Unexpectedly, Jiang Kun was really amazing and cracked his chessboard in just a few moves. This is why he was able to break the formation so easily today.

However, if the formation is broken, it will soon alert the secret guards in the mansion, so they are very pressed for time.

Xu Rui immediately took the leader of the Golden Guard into Gulin's study.

As soon as he entered the study, Xu Rui began to search everywhere, and while searching he did not forget to urge the leader of the Golden Guards, "Hurry up, or someone will be here soon?"

The leader of the Golden Guards looked bewildered and asked, "Young Master, what are we looking for?"

"Military talisman." Xu Rui didn't keep the secret and directly stated the purpose of his visit. But after that, he reminded, "We have limited time, so hurry up."

"Yes." The leader of the Golden Guards responded and immediately helped to look for it.

The two searched everywhere, but found nothing after a long time. Xu Rui's eyes unconsciously showed a little annoyance.

Suddenly, his eyes fixed on a secret compartment where a vase was placed. He walked forward and gently twisted the vase. As the vase turned, a black brocade box suddenly appeared.

"Young Master, be careful." The leader of the Golden Guards reminded Xu Rui to be careful of the mechanism in the brocade box.

Xu Rui carefully opened the brocade box and found that there was no mechanism, but the brocade box contained the military talisman.

"Let's go." Xu Rui was overjoyed and immediately flew out with the leader of the Golden Guards.

As soon as Xu Rui and the leader of the Golden Guards left, the secret guards from the Prince of Qin's Palace arrived.

"The military token has been stolen, give chase!"

The secret guards of the Prince of Qin's Mansion immediately got busy, chasing Xu Rui and the others.

Xu Rui and the leader of the Golden Guard hid in the east of Kyoto for several times before they finally got rid of the secret guards of the Prince of Qin's Mansion.

Once they reached a safe place, Xu Rui took out the brocade box again.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He carefully opened the brocade box, and inside lay a small military token.

Xu Rui carefully picked up the military token. As soon as he got it, his face suddenly turned very ugly.

"Young Master, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?" The leader of the Golden Guards asked nervously when he saw that his expression was not right.
