A Time-Traveling Mishap: I Became an Ancient Nobleman

Chapter 186 What will he do?

Otherwise, there's no way to explain why Jiang Mingyun would travel all the way from the capital to Cuiyan Town.

Jiang Mingyun put down her chopsticks, her face turning somewhat grim. "You left without notifying anyone. I've been by your side all this time, not just because you were my benefactor in my past life."

More importantly, as far as I remember, something significant happened to you during this period, and that event was related to your coming to Cuiyan Town to find His Majesty and Uncle Zhou.

Zhou Hanzhang, seeing her expression, knew something was amiss. "What is it?"

"In your past life, you came to Cuiyan Town in search of the missing Emperor and Uncle Zhou, and then disappeared in the stone mountain for a period of time."

Afterwards, His Majesty and Uncle Zhou searched for you frantically, but they couldn't find you. It wasn't until more than half a year later that they finally found you in a village near Cuiyan Town. But by then, your leg was injured... a very serious injury.

Later, you suffered a lot because of your foot injury. You tried many methods but couldn't get better. Finally, Senior Brother Shen came up with a very scary method: he broke and reassembled your healed leg bone, and only then were you able to stand up with difficulty.

After you got back up, it took you many more years for your leg injury to heal. Actually, it can't be said to be completely healed. It's said that later on, whenever there was wind or rain, your leg injury would flare up, causing excruciating pain that was untreatable.

Jiang Mingyun felt a little scared when she thought about it. "At that time, I was completely immersed in the dream that Ye Gui and the First Prince had woven for me. At their instigation, my relationship with you and the Zhou and Li families was not good. You were injured at that time, and I even laughed at you in public. I'm sorry."

She was filled with regret when she talked about it.

"I suspect that your injury is related to the First Prince."

Jiang Mingyun thought of something, walked outside the private room to look around, and after confirming that no one else was there, she leaned close to Zhou Hanzhang's ear and said, "The Crown Prince has long been in contact with Yun Han of Yunmeng Kingdom. He somehow found out that our Great Zhou's Stone Mountain is one of the protective formations, and sent people to destroy the terrain."

He knew that once His Majesty discovered this, he would definitely come. He could then do something to cause an accident for His Majesty, and then rescue him. This would improve His Majesty's impression of him, and he could then use the opportunity to eliminate the other princes, thus securing his throne.

"So, the First Prince is also in Cuiyan Town now?"

"It should be. Anyway, as far as I remember, he saved His Majesty and Uncle Zhou in the rocky mountain. You accidentally fell off a cliff in the rocky mountain and your fate is unknown."

"Then why can't we see him in the rocky hill?"

"I don't know where things went wrong. Could it be because of my rebirth that caused some kind of deviation?"

Zhou Hanzhang didn't understand these butterfly effects. If the eldest prince was really planning this, then if he failed this time, he would definitely look for another opportunity.

"By the way, I remember you only became Youying's disciple after you fell off the cliff, but how come you've already become her disciple so quickly this time?"

Zhou Hanzhang naturally wouldn't tell Jiang Mingyun that her Hanzhang brother had already had his soul replaced. It seems that her early apprenticeship under Liu Niang has played a positive role in driving things forward, at least she hasn't broken her leg yet.

Thinking about it this way, it's all good in the end.

Perhaps it was because he came here and became Zhou Hanzhang here that things took a turn for the better, but this also means that Jiang Mingyun's memories are different from those of her previous life.

They need to be even more careful to avoid disaster.

"Has Ye Gui come too?"

"I don't know. As soon as I received the news that you were coming to Jiangnan, I rushed here with my people. But as far as I remember, Ye Gui seemed to have been in the capital the whole time during this trip to Jiangnan. Anyway, at this time in my previous life, he was still in the capital shopping with me."

I think the Crown Prince wanted to keep him in the capital to handle matters and also to keep me in check. But now that I've come out, I don't know what will happen to him.

I didn't bring any maids this time. I only brought the most capable guards from within the manor, and I also hired some martial arts practitioners to accompany me, but they all perished in the rocky mountains."

Jiang Mingyun became somewhat saddened as she spoke of this.

Zhou Hanzhang thought that so many guards and martial arts practitioners perished on Shishan Mountain, yet Jiang Mingyun was able to survive after meeting Liu Niang. Perhaps this was an extraordinary female protagonist?

Isn't this how all reborn women are supposed to be?

I wonder if she has any special abilities?

"Um... Mingyun, I have a question I'd like to ask you."

Although Jiang Mingyun was immersed in grief, she immediately raised her head when Zhou Hanzhang spoke, "Brother Hanzhang, please ask, I will answer everything I know."

"...There's no need for that. Actually, this question is a bit presumptuous, and you can answer it if you don't want to. I just wanted to ask if you've noticed anything different about yourself since you were reborn this time?"

"What's extra?"

Jiang Mingyun was clearly puzzled.

Zhou Hanzhang could tell from her expression that it wasn't fake that she was reborn with nothing but her memories.

However, being able to be reborn with one's memories is already pretty good.

However, Jiang Mingyun seemed to rely too much on herself. The novels she usually read by Tomatoes all talked about female protagonists who became incredibly powerful after being reborn and then slaughtered their enemies indiscriminately.

After avenging her great grudge, she lives happily ever after with the real male protagonist, a happy ending.

The problem now is that the person who saved her in her past life is a tomboy like me. How can we live happily ever after and have a happy ending?

If I can help her get revenge, find a suitable male lead, and make the plot progress smoothly, can I go back to the modern world and continue being a parasite?

Pshaw, rich young lady.

Zhou Hanzhang's CPU is almost burnt out.

She thought of a possibility, "Mingyun, you said that before you died in your past life, I was the one who helped you and your child collect your bodies. Are you sure it was me?"

Jiang Mingyun wanted to eat more when she was sad. She picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth. While chewing, she said, "It's you. After I died, my soul was still floating in the air for a while. I saw you and you helped me take revenge. You even told me to stay away from scumbags in my next life."

She swallowed the meat in her mouth. "Back then, I wanted to ask you, what is a scumbag? Is someone like the Crown Prince who did so many bad things for the throne a scumbag?"

Zhou Hanzhang had no choice but to explain the meaning of "scumbag" to her again.

Does this mean that in her previous life, she also came here, but Jiang Mingyun was not reborn at that time, and both she and Jiang Mingyun had a different ending?

But if that's the case, then what's wrong with her saying that I only became Liu Niang's apprentice after I broke my leg?

Was it because I arrived at a different time, or because Jiang Mingyun's rebirth caused things to go astray?
