Chapter 1336: Secret
Translator: Lonelytree
Jiang Yunfeng ran to the outskirts of the city in a sorry state, with injuries all over his body.
Then, he stopped in a small courtyard outside the suburbs.
After that, he looked around and didn’t seem to find anything.
Then, he knocked on the door.
A moment later, a middle-aged man in gray clothes opened the door. When he saw Jiang Yunfeng, he was stunned at first. Then, he immediately looked around warily. After finding no suspicious person, he let Jiang Yunfeng in.
As soon as they entered the house, the man immediately scolded Jiang Yunfeng,” What’s wrong with you? How could the Zhengguo Duke’s Estate be suddenly raided? Oh, right. Did anyone find those things?”
Ever since Jiang Yunfeng had been demoted from Zhengguo Duke to a commoner, he had been filled with anger. The shock and fear he had suffered over the past few days had made him even more exhausted.
At this point, he actually had to be reprimanded by a servant. The anger that had been suppressed in his heart instantly erupted.
He shouted angrily at the man,” Shut up! Liu San, you are just the housekeeper of this courtyard. You have no right to lecture me! Also, I’m only in a cooperative relationship with your master, not a subordinate relationship. Please understand! So, don’t you dare lecture me!”
Liu San was choked by Jiang Yunfengs words. His expression instantly became exceptionally ugly, and there was also a faint trace of anger.
However, Jiang Yunfeng glared at him fiercely, causing him to swallow the words that were surging in his throat. In the end, he also glared at him with a cold gaze and said fiercely,” Hmph, these days, who in the capital doesn’t know that the entire residence of the century-old Zhengguo Duke’s Estate has been raided because of suspicion of rebellion. Zhengguo Duke Jiang Yunfeng has also been demoted to a commoner.’
At this point, the man’s lips curled into a cold smile. He said disdainfully and mockingly,” Jiang Yunfeng, you’re just a commoner now. You’re no different from a slave like me!”
Jiang Yunfeng heard his disdainful tone and was furious again. He retorted sharply,” Hmph, so what if I’m a commoner now? Your master has promised me that after this matter is completed, 1 will be a First Rank Prince!”
When the man heard this, he wanted to refute something, but he thought of something and swallowed his words. Then, he said to Jiang Yunfeng indifferently,” Alright, Master wants to see you. He’s waiting for you in the room, My Lord!” When he spoke of the duke, he enunciated each word with obvious mockery in his tone.
However, it was unsure if Jiang Yunfeng didn’t notice it or if he pretended not to. It was hard to say, but he still followed the man to see his master.
After Jiang Yunfeng entered, he saw a man in a slightly dark room.
The man’s face was in the shadows, and his facial features could not be seen clearly. His left hand was holding a small jade cup.
This small jade cup was like a modern goblet. Through a trace of light, one could see the red liquid in the cup. He was sipping the contents of the small cup and casually said in surprise,” The taste of the royal wine promoted by the Lin Group is indeed unusual! One had to take a sip of the product to feel the pure fragrance and richness of this thing!”
The man who brought Jiang Yunfeng in changed his previous disdain for Jiang Yunfeng and became very respectful and cautious.
He bent over and said to the man,” Master, Jiang Yunfeng is here!”
The man raised his other hand, which was slender and fair under the dim light. However, the most eye-catching thing about this hand was the emerald on his thumb. Then, he waved it and said in a calm voice,” You can leave!”
After that person went out, Jiang Yunfeng, who had finally gotten used to the darkness and overcome his fear, went forward and called out respectfully,” Second Prince! ”
Then, Jiang Yunfeng heard the Second Prince’s chuckle.” Lord Jiang, how have you been? I heard that you haven’t been living well these days!’
Jiang Yunfeng could be angry with the person just now, but he could only endure it when it came to this man.
He gritted his teeth and said,” Thanks to the Second Prince, I’m living well!”
When the Second Prince heard this, he laughed softly in the darkness.” Oh, very good. That’s good!”
After that, he didn’t say anything else.
This made Jiang Yunfeng feel humiliated. He was abnormally angry, but there was nothing he could do!
He quietly looked at the man under the shadow and said straightforwardly,” 1 wonder if the Second Prince’s words in the past count!”
The Second Prince sneered and pretended not to know.” I wonder what I did say to Lord Jiang?”
Jiang Yunfengs expression changed drastically when he heard that. His sharp eyes glared at the man, and he said sternly,” The Second Prince said that as long as I hand over the location of the iron mine, I will be given the title of
First Prince after the second prince ascends to the throne!”
“Oh, did I make such a promise?”The Second Prince said casually.
“You…” Jiang Yunfeng was instantly furious. He looked at the Second Prince angrily and said through gritted teeth,” Didn’t you say that back then?”
Then, Jiang Yunfeng saw the man in front of him lean back in his chair, but his eyes were fixed on the cup in front of him. He said lightly,” Oh, I remember now. It seems like that happened!”
However, he immediately changed the topic.” However, Lord Jiang, times have changed. If you want a First Rank Prince, that’s fine. However, you’ll need to give me something else to exchange for it!”
When Jiang Yunfeng heard this, his pupils constricted violently. Then, he said,” You want the iron ore mine map?”
However, the Second Prince smiled and shook his head gently.” No, that was in the past! As for now, apart from the iron ore mine map, I also want the gold ore mine map!”
“Impossible!” Jiang Yunfeng refused without thinking. However, he immediately reacted and looked at the Second Prince in a daze. He asked,” Second Prince, how did you know that I still have the gold mine map?”
He remembered that when he first came to find the Second Prince, he clearly only said that there was news of iron ore. He did not seem to have said that there was news of gold ore!
Then how did the Second Prince know that he still had the gold mine map?
Jiang Yunfeng thought for a moment before his eyes widened. He asked with difficulty,” You sent someone to spy on me?!”
The Second Prince shook his head in disdain and said,” Jiang Yunfeng, do you think it’s necessary for me to do this?”
Why not? Jiang Yunfeng wanted to answer.
However, when his eyes met the Second Prince’s sharp gaze, he was immediately stunned.
Then, with a numb expression, he nodded and replied, “Of course, I’ll give the second prince the map!’
“Where is the map now?” The Second Prince asked..
