Part 1: A Dream Within A Dream / Rebirth of Ill Fated Concubine

Chapter 029 Assassin

Jiang Ruan raised her head again to look at the other party. When she retreated, the other party had already leaned against the door and blocked the door. His hand was covering a dark green short sword at his waist. 

His eyes were cold and even calm, without any murderous intent, but Jiang Ruan believed that as long as she made a slight move, this man would definitely use this sword to wipe her neck.

This was simply a blatant threat.

After a moment of thinking, Jiang Ruan slowly walked forward. Her movements were deliberately slow, fully showing that she had no ill intentions.

The young man stopped his movements and watched her walk forward. The distance between the two was only one finger wide, which was very close.

Jiang Ruan stood on tiptoe. Her height was only up to the other party's chest. She leaned close to the other party's ear with some effort, lowered her voice and said softly: "I didn't see anything."

The young man's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he looked down at her. 

Jiang Ruan frowned and noticed that the other party was wearing clothes embroidered with silver scales and rolled patterns. He must not be an ordinary person. 

After thinking for a while, she continued, "Your Excellency hid here, naturally you don't want to make a big deal. If you kill me, I'm afraid there will be some trouble. Although this trouble is not unsolvable, it is not what you want."

"Who are you?" The handsome young man finally asked, his voice was a little hoarse.

"The eldest daughter of Jiang Quan, the Minister of War." Jiang Ruan said, Jiang Quan's position in the court is also important. Once this identity can be used, she will use it without hesitation. She’s not afraid of any accidents. 

First, in her memory of her previous life, the Jiang family did not have such an enemy. Second, even if it was really unfortunate, this person really had something against the Jiang family, he must know that she was in a humble position in the Jiang family, just occupying the name of a legitimate daughter, and would not have any impact on Jiang Quan.

Killing her, there is no benefit, only the trouble that may be caused. Jiang Ruan has already laid out the pros and cons, and it depends on how the other party chooses.

However, even though her face was calm at this moment, her heart was extremely cautious at this moment.
The other party's eyes fell on her. Jiang Ruan knew that she was now dressed in simple clothes. Because of the deliberate order, she was wearing old clothes that were modified in the farm before. She must be very embarrassed. 

She was afraid that the other party was suspicious of her identity, so she said: "Censor Wang and official Li Mi are both in the men's room. If I have an accident, they must be involved. I am afraid that they will investigate for a long time." 

The young man looked at her for a moment, turned around and put away the weapon in his hand. Jiang Ruan breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the other party was not going to kill her, but it might not be because of her threat. 

As soon as she opened the door, she saw a black shadow rushing in from outside and bowed to the man: "Master, it's done." 

Looking at the moonlight, there were a group of corpses lying on the ground, all wearing night clothes, and the death signs were all blood marks on the throat, and they were killed by a knife. The man who called the young man his master was also startled when he saw Jiang Ruan. He seemed to have not expected that there were still people awake in the temple. He hesitated and said, "Master?"

Is he asking whether to kill people to silence her? Jiang Ruan sneered in her heart, and heard the other party coldly said, "No need."

Jiang Ruan thought quickly in her heart that these people must have come for this young man. In a short period of time just now, these people died without even alarming other people in the temple. This person must be a big shot. If he can be used...
