Chapter 440 Jiang An is in a dilemma
"Master Qi, please go back..."
Qi Shanyuan has been standing in front of the study door since the prince picked up the unconscious military advisor and left.
Standing straight, as if silently admitting his mistake.
Butler Sun, wearing a thick cotton coat, sighed softly.
He knew that the young master felt guilty for forcing the man to death.
Emperor Sun wanted to hand the hot water bottle in his hand to Qi Shanyuan, but he did not take it.
"You have been suffering from cold since you were a child, which is why you are sick. If the young master knew that the young master treated her so badly, she would be angry..."
He held the hot water bottle, certain that Qi Shanyuan would be obedient after the little girl was moved out.
Look, Young Master Qi really took the hot water bottle.
"Military Advisor Hu...how is it?"
"The court doctor gave him acupuncture and he is much more stable now. He is sleeping now."
Although Hu Yan didn't say anything these days, he felt uneasy in his heart...
He has always been a thoughtful person, and Ayuan's sudden appearance alone made him happy and worried.
Now that he suddenly knew his identity, Hu Yan felt relieved. The illnesses that had accumulated over the days came knocking on his door all at once, and he started coughing up blood and fell into a coma.
"I see…"
Qi Shanyuan responded in a low voice without moving an inch.
Seeing that no one wanted to leave, Butler Sun could only sigh and leave.
It was not until the late night that Jiang Jichen returned to the study in the snow.
"What are you still standing here for? Come in."
He walked quickly and hurriedly, and did not stop even when he brushed past Qi Shanyuan.
Young Master Qi seemed to want to say something, but his throat was already extremely dry as he hadn't had any water for several hours.
The lights in the study were on until the sun rose from the east...
In the quiet early morning, a goshawk's cry suddenly sounded, scaring the chickens in the neighboring cages so much that they flapped their wings and stared at a certain place with their green bean-sized eyes, looking very alert.
Many days later, at the border, Jiang An, who was galloping across the wilderness, raised his head.
She half-bent over, her eyes fixed on the bandits who were desperately fleeing in front of her, her gaze sharp.
She picked up the silver spear and threw it out!
The tip of the spear flew out of his hand like a sharp arrow and pierced the hoof of the bandit's horse. The tip of the spear was three inches into the ground, which showed how great the strength was.
The horse was startled, raised its two front hooves high, neighed, and threw the person off its back.
The leader fell to the ground, and when he got up, the other bandits who followed him panicked...
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the National Protection Army surrounded them!
Jiang An gave the order and did not even give the bandits a chance to surrender. He simply slit their necks and spilled blood on the spot.
The white tiger carried her closer, and Jiang An watched coldly, not intending to collect their bodies.
She looked around and said, "In a place like this, there will be a lot of wild dogs and vultures. There's no need to bury them."
Huo Changming licked his cracked lips, his usually innocent face was stained with some wildness and ruffianism, and he said in a voice: "Such bastards really don't need to be buried."
They captured quite a few bandits along the way, most of whom were scattered rebels who had fled during the Second Prince's rebellion last year.
They set up camps on the borders of several countries and hid in the lawless areas where no one usually sets foot.
Some farm for fun, while others become vicious criminals...
This group of people can be regarded as the scum among the most vicious criminals, committing murder, arson, robbery, and kidnapping the daughters of innocent families.
When Jiang An met them, meat was cooking in the pot.
Among the team there are veterans who have been in the army for more than 20 years, and have been following Jiang Jichen since he first came to the north.
At a glance, they knew what kind of meat was cooking in the pot.
The old soldier held the little girl back and stopped her from going forward...
Jiang An boasted that he had walked through half of Nanshang and seen a lot of right and wrong, but at that moment he did not understand what was hidden in the second half of the old soldier's words that could not be said.
The bandits fled in panic on horseback, leaving behind the steaming pot.
Xie Yunshan moved closer to take a look, but was so frightened that he stepped back repeatedly, holding onto a tree and vomiting continuously.
It wasn't until the old soldier came forward to deal with the things in the pot that Jiang An realized what kind of meat it was...
"roar~"
The white tiger paced anxiously, its face showing undisguised disgust.
It turned around and faced the corpses of the bandits, pointing its butt towards them.
Then, under Jiang An's confused gaze, he made the gesture of burying shit...
Look, even the ferocious beasts look down on these human beings.
This action of its broke the stagnant atmosphere in the team.
Jiang An was also happy. He rubbed its head soothingly and said, "That's enough..."
"Since you despise me, let's stay away from me!"
Looking down from a high place, the huge team continued to move forward without stopping.
In the middle of the army, Xie Yunshan was riding a horse with a pale face, as if he had not yet recovered from the attack just now.
During the march, a goshawk landed directly on the little girl's shoulder.
The white tiger tilted its head, its front paws eager to try.
Want to pounce...
Jiang An slapped it on the head, "Behave yourself!"
Baihu's eyes widened instantly, and he jumped and danced in front of the team, shaking the little girl's internal organs so much that they almost dislocated.
The goshawk couldn't grab the little master's shoulders and flapped its wings.
But its wings were too big, so it slapped Jiang An several times.
For a moment, the scene was extremely lively, and there was constant laughter in the team.
"big cat!"
Jiang An was furious. He grabbed its ears and threatened, "If you don't behave, I will bring the tigress from the mountain behind the main camp back to the palace and make her your wife!"
Let you become a father without any pain, or a stepfather! !
"roar~"
Almost instantly, the white tiger returned to its former dignified appearance.
The little girl rolled her eyes at it.
This trick works every time.
She opened the small cloth bag that Goshawk was carrying and unfolded the letter.
After reading only a few words, Jiang An frowned.
This letter was sent by Jiang Jichen, and it was about Ayuan...
Jiang Jichen explained the matter in the letter, and as the commander-in-chief of the National Protection Army, he told the little girl about his decision.
"Wen Zeyu is a southern businessman?"
Or is it the little prince who didn’t go to the ancestral temple of the previous emperor? ?
Why did the Wen family want to raise a prince of Nanshang? Did the eldest princess know about this?
Jiang An stroked the letter and stared at a sentence on it for a long time.
Her father said that twenty years ago, the eldest princess was just a young girl who had just come of age, and she had no say in the affairs between the two countries.
This must be a conspiracy of the late emperor of Dongli.
The current head of the Wen family and the elders in the family must have known about it, but at that time Wen Zeyu was their cash cow and their most beautiful daughter, so who would dare to reveal this matter to others?
What her father meant was... Although Wen Zeyu was somewhat pitiful, having done so much for Dongli and the princess, he ended up in such a situation. But just because he was Ayuan, the past could not be written off.
Such behavior will discourage the soldiers in the army.
He mentioned in the letter that Hu Yan woke up once in the middle of the journey. He was confused, but still begged Jiang Jichen to send A Yuan far away, as long as he could live safely for the rest of his life...
In fact, what Hu Yan couldn't bear to part with was not Ayuan, but his aunt and his family who died in vain.
"Ugh…"
Jiang An let out a long sigh and looked up at the fiery sunset in the western sky.
Huo Changming came over with a water bag, grinning and said generously, "Who is making my sister upset?"
The little girl received the letter and took the water bag from her brother.
She chuckled and stood side by side with Huo Changming.
At this time, Xie Yunshan also came over, and the backs of the three people were connected in the setting sun.
He was shy and his face was a little pale. "I want to know too. Tell me~"
Jiang An: "My father wrote to me saying that Hu Yan found a relative who had returned from the dead..."
Xie Yunshan perked up, "Really?!"
The little girl nodded, "You recognize it too."
General Xie was stunned. "Ah?"
"It's the Wen family from Peizhou Peach Blossom Land."
"But isn't he from Dongli?"
The kind that has a blood feud with the National Protection Army.
"laugh…"
Jiang An laughed sarcastically, "It's nothing more than the open and covert struggles of the older generation."
You don't have the courage to fight head-on, so you use these dirty tricks behind the scenes and specifically target children, what a bastard!
Xie Yunshan was stunned for a long time, and murmured: "Since I came to the north, the old fox has been alone."
Now it’s been ten years...
He finally found his family, but it was a dilemma.
The young general looked at Jiang An and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Continue to take Wen Zeyu's life to avenge the soldiers who died tragically in the army?
"Given the old fox's personality, he wouldn't blame you even if you really killed Wen Zeyu."
But no one knows how much he has to bear in his heart...
Hu Yan's health has always been poor, and he would be on the verge of death once or twice every year. How long can he bear this fate?
People’s hearts are biased...
At this time, the scale in Xie Yunshan's heart had already tilted towards Hu Yan.
Huo Changming also said: "The incident was ultimately a plot by the Dongli people. They didn't even want to let Wen Zeyu go in the Peizhou assassination."
After all, he is just a knife...
A knife that has no control over itself.
He patted his sister's shoulder soothingly, "Don't listen to General Xie..."
"You shouldn't be the one to bear this responsibility!"
"How to deal with this person should also be decided by the victim."
There is also the youngest in the camp, and it is up to him to choose whether to live or die.
"and…"
Huo Changming scratched his head. "Even if we let this man out of the North, we can't rest assured!"
The little girl turned around and waited for her brother's next words.
"You think..."
"If Dongli's people find out that he is not dead, they will definitely take him back and continue to use him!"
There is no need to tell about Wen Zeyu's abilities. He has been a spy in Peizhou for so many years. If the princess hadn't used him as bait, Jiang An probably wouldn't have been able to find him now.
"So it's better to keep him here. After all, he has worked for the princess before, so we can always get some useful information from him!"
Huo Changming's words made Jiang An suddenly enlightened.
Even Xie Yunshan couldn't help but look at him sideways, "Boy, when did you become so smart?"
Young Master Huo rolled his eyes at him and said arrogantly, "I've always been so smart, okay?"
He then muttered, "It's just that Shanyuan and Xingsang are too smart, which makes me look so stupid..."
The little girl didn't have time to listen to their verbal battle and turned around and strode into the camp.
She shouted, "Zhengyan, prepare the writing brush and ink!"
……
It was five days later that Jiang An's letter arrived in Chongzhou.
Jiang Jichen looked at it carefully for a long time before he laughed and scolded, "Little brat!"
Butler Sun came over with a smile and put down a cup of tea.
"But what good ideas did the young master give you?"
The master of his family hasn't smiled for several days.
