Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

Chapter 325 General Yulandel

Jiang Ming walked out of the study and it was already late at night outside.

However, during this process, he also discovered that the clothes he wore had also changed and were very much in line with the times.

Jiang Ming recalled what happened just now, and his mind was full of thoughts: "I have accepted the mission of this world, to find this girl named Guanxing. Judging from her appearance, she seems a bit like Theresa, but she seems to be smarter than Theresa in our world."

"Well, since we already have Guanxing's portrait and even information about her identity, I will use my wisdom to make a calculation. In just a moment, I will be able to find her location."

Jiang Ming immediately calculated and indeed found her location.

"In a forest... Then let's go ahead."

However, Rita lives in the palace after all, and there are many people around. It might be troublesome to leave directly. Jiang Ming plans to find an uninhabited place and then transfer through space.

However, as he was walking, a soldier in armor came up to him.

Jiang Ming's heart was slightly moved. When he was thinking about how to deal with it, the soldier bowed to Jiang Ming and said, "I have been waiting for you for a long time. Please come with me to see the general."

Jiang Ming's dark eyes flashed with a sharp light: "What's going on? Rita, the prime minister, just invited me, why is there another general inviting me now?"

"But I can't raise any doubts. I guess this world has arranged a dual identity for me. I didn't expect this world to be so bad, but it has given me all the troubles."

"Well, since he has no ill intentions and I'm not in a hurry, I'll just go with him. I also want to see who the general is here."

Jiang Ming nodded slightly to the soldier without saying much. Seeing this, the soldier hurriedly led the way, but the journey was very long. Jiang Ming followed the soldier for almost two hours, and it was almost dawn.

The soldiers also knew that the journey was long, so they expressed their apologies along the way. Jiang Ming observed their expressions and said, "No, it is my great honor to be welcomed by the general."

Just now he said it was a blessing earned in eight lifetimes, and this time he said it was a blessing in three lifetimes. Jiang Ming never blushed or felt nervous about these things.

"Well, we are almost there." The soldier reminded, "This is the mission for this time. Take the portrait and go in to the general to receive orders."

The two came to a wooden house, and the soldier handed him a picture on rice paper. Seeing that Jiang Ming was unmoved, the soldier thought that he was very nervous, so he kindly reminded him: "It's okay. Although the general is a martial arts master, he is an upright and peaceful person. As long as you don't do something that violates the rules, there will be no price to pay. There is no need to be so nervous."

"Haha, with your reminder, I do feel a little more relaxed. Thank you." Jiang Ming smiled at him.

This made the latter feel a little flattered - the handsome man in front of him was specially invited by the general. If something good happened to him, maybe he could get some soup.

However, this also made the soldiers secretly wonder: "What happened to the general? He actually wanted such a good-looking man to come...ah! Is it about a man-woman thing? Although it is a bit presumptuous, but think about it, the general is a girl after all. Alas, if it is true, then this man is too lucky, God gave him such a good-looking face."

Thinking of Jiang Ming's words just now that he was lucky, the soldier believed it even more and left with some sadness.

This made Jiang Ming a little confused. In his eyes, the soldier's emotions changed from indifference to appreciation and finally to sadness. He could understand the first two, but what was going on with the last one? Why did he suddenly become sad?

Jiang Ming thought as he pushed the door open.

“Who?!”

Whoosh!

He saw a flash of knife before his eyes, and a silver long knife was instantly placed on Jiang Ming's neck. The latter blinked and looked around the room, and found that there was no third person. So the person who was holding the knife on his neck must be the general.

But this was also the reason why he did not dodge the long sword. The general in front of him had long, fluffy, thick golden hair, a calm expression, sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes. Although he had no decorations on his body, his snow-white belly was exposed, which was extremely attractive.

However, this temperament and appearance were deeply engraved in Jiang Ming's mind.

"Bianca...?" Jiang Ming thought about the name of the girl in front of him and swallowed. He had never seen Bianca in this outfit before, so he needed to copy this memory. Then he said, "I am here to receive your orders."

Seeing the rice paper picture on Jiang Ming's right hand, General Youlandel questioned: "Why didn't you knock on the door first? Walking in quietly and stealthily, this is the work of an assassin or thief! If I hadn't seen you holding the portrait and knew that you were the one chosen to carry out the mission, I'm afraid you would have been beheaded long ago!"

Jiang Ming quickly apologized: "General, I know my crime. If you need me in the future, I will knock on your door first."

The cold blade gradually moved away from Jiang Ming's neck, but the vigilance in General Yulandel's eyes did not diminish at all.

"It seems that you are indeed quite capable."

Jiang Ming smiled lightly. He certainly knew what Youlandel meant. Wasn't it that when facing her murderous blade, he could still remain expressionless and look around?

Then he clasped his fists and bowed: "If I don't have any skills, how can I work for the general? How can I do things perfectly? I hope the general will give me some advice and tell me the specific details of this mission." This is also a good opportunity to obtain intelligence.

Ignoring Jiang Ming's random gazes on various parts of his body, General Youlandel sighed: "Well, forget it. This situation is urgent. I will investigate the military discipline after the mission is completed."

"Open the scroll in your hand."

Jiang Ming opened it as ordered, then raised his eyebrows. The person in the scroll looked so familiar. He had seen him just now. However, compared to the one that Prime Minister Rita asked the people in the palace to draw, this one was quite serious and lifelike.

"This is...Master Stargazer, right?"

General Youlandel nodded: "Yes, this is the Stargazer who escaped from Huangyue City, and he is also the heir designated in the late emperor's will."

"Escape?"

"Yes, Lord Guanxing fled secretly not long ago. The news was reported by spies in the palace. This is confidential and must not be spread outside."

"...Why did you flee, sir?" Jiang Ming asked tentatively, "Did you encounter something that you had to do?"

"......"

It seemed that something that should not be asked was touched upon, and General Yulandel immediately looked annoyed.

"What you said is true. Why did she disregard the people of the whole country? I would also like to ask Master Guanxing in person. The country cannot be without a ruler for a day. How can such irresponsible behavior be worthy of the late emperor who placed high hopes on her!?"

"General, calm down. Did you send me here to find Mr. Guanxing? I hope you can rest assured that I have all kinds of skills, but I am the best in Huangyue City in finding and saving people."

"As for force, haha, as long as I find Master Guanxing, I will be able to protect him and send him to the general intact to show my loyalty!"

"...lost his temper."

Seeing Jiang Ming comforting her like this, General Youlandel calmed down and nodded: "What you just said is not wrong. Your mission this time is to find the escaped Master Guanxing and bring him back to me."

"It's simple and clear, and the goal is clear. According to what you just said, it shouldn't be difficult for you."

Jiang Ming smiled happily: "The general is willing to look up to me, and it is my great fortune today."

"That's all I have to say. Please leave."

"Yes, sir." Jiang Ming clasped his fists and bowed again, preparing to leave.

"and many more."

General Yulandel suddenly called out to him.

"May I ask if the General has any other instructions?"

Jiang Ming turned around with a sincere look.

The general just sighed, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"If you find the stargazer, be careful on your way back and don't let the thieves take advantage of you."

Just as Jiang Ming was about to accept the offer, he heard General Youlandel say again: "Also, you must also pay attention to your safety."

"——!?"

Jiang Ming's heart moved slightly, and he quickly agreed and left.
