Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

Chapter 549: Chapter 549: She is the Embodiment of Justice

Jiang Ning thought for a moment and said, “My dad and my third brother can get it, but it might alert the enemy.”

“Does Master have other good ideas?”

“Let me think.”

Jiang Ning fell into deep thought.

In fact, she had already made up her mind.

She sent Gucheng to do the job.

Gucheng was an expert in lightness skills, able to come and go without a trace, so he could surely get it.

However, Gucheng, who always obeyed her unconditionally, surprisingly refused her request.

“I can’t.”

His black clothes were hidden in the shade of the trees, thin and faint like a shadow.

His voice was also intermittent, blown away by the wind, making it difficult to hear clearly.

Jiang Ning often felt that Gucheng would disappear with a gust of wind.

She couldn’t help but walk closer and stare at his profile, asking, “Why not?”

What he said was “I can’t,” not “I can’t do it.”

Gucheng fell silent once more.

Jiang Ning, having spent some time with him, had already become very good at following his rhythm.

As expected, after a rustling sound of the wind, Gucheng spoke again, “I am not good at stealing.”

“With your excellent lightness skills, as long as you’re not discovered, you can become the most powerful thief.” Jiang Ning felt like a strange aunt teaching bad habits to a child.

However, Gucheng was a principled child.

No matter how Jiang Ning tried to coax him, his answer was always two words: No.

“I didn’t expect that people trained by Uncle could be so upright.”

Jiang Ning was deeply impressed by General Jiang Mubai’s noble character.

“As the niece of the general, how can I always think of using such unorthodox methods?” She engaged in deep self-reflection, feeling that her thoughts were too dirty.

After an intense mental struggle, Jiang Ning looked at Gucheng seriously and said: “Gucheng, you are right, I should use an open and aboveboard way to investigate!”

After saying this, a gust of wind blew by.

Jiang Ning felt like she was the embodiment of righteousness.

She had transcended.

No longer was she the girl who only wanted to reach the peak of life and then live a life of leisure until her last days!

“Gucheng, go and rest!” She waved her little hand and turned to leave.

A moment later, Gucheng’s voice came from behind her: “Miss, I can recommend a real master thief to you.”

Jiang Ning staggered, almost falling to the ground.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly and pretended to bend down to tie her shoelace. She then realized that her ornate, golden embroidered shoes had no laces to tie and awkwardly took out her handkerchief to wipe off the tiny bit of dust on her shoe tip.

“In the autumn, the weather is windy, and there’s a lot of dust.” she laughed.

“Xingcheng.” Gucheng said.

“What?”

“The burglar’s name.” Gucheng continued, “He and I trained under the general in the same group. I became an assassin, and he became a thief.”

Jiang Ning was astonished: “Uncle is a leading general who trains Imperial Guards, but why would he also train thieves?”

She approached Gucheng and lowered her voice: “What kind of business is Uncle into, killing and robbing people? Is our family’s money all stolen or robbed by you guys?”

Gucheng’s face remained expressionless: “You’re overthinking, Miss.”

“What does Uncle usually ask Xingcheng to do?”

“He goes to the enemy camp to gather intelligence and steal required information.”

“I see.”

It turned out that it was a legitimate use of the skill.

After all, deceiving in war is not bad.

“Where is Xingcheng now?”

“I don’t know.” Gucheng resolutely shook his head.

“Didn’t you just recommend him to me? I thought you two were close and knew each other well.”

“You can ask the General for him.”
