Chapter 403 It's a request and a temptation
When Su Manrong returned to the prisoners' village, she immediately asked Xiaojiu and Erjiu to take their two children to the mansion.
It was easy to defend and difficult to attack over there, so even if the Yue army entered the city, it wouldn't be enough. If necessary, she could get some more lethal weapons from the space, and she would definitely be able to resist.
"Yi Ling, I'm going to tell A Jiang and Uncle Fu, and you can help me go to Grand Master Chu's house to call Chun Ming and Cheng Xiao."
At the moment of the disaster, although Su Manrong wanted to do her best to protect everyone's lives, she could never be too naive to let herself be passive, so Grand Master Chu and others could only seek blessings for themselves.
She couldn't bring everyone from the exile village to the mansion without knowing whether Yue Jun would enter Qianzhou City.
Exposing the existence of the mansion would be a disaster for her, her two children, and even everyone in the 50th Guards.
"Madam, do you want to bring A Jiang back to the mansion?" Yi Ling didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but when he turned around, he remembered that Madam had just mentioned A Jiang's name.
"I have something to tell Ajiang. Now that his relatives are here, he doesn't need to go back with us."
Su Manrong shook her head thoughtfully, turned around and walked into the tunnel, quickly arriving at Uncle Fu's yard.
"Miss, A Jiang's relatives have been here to pick him up for more than an hour. He should be back soon."
When Uncle Fu saw Su Manrong walking in in a hurry, he asked with concern: "But is there something urgent? How about I go to the house to bring Ajiang back?"
"Uncle Fu, go and wait next door. Just follow Cheng Xiao and leave later."
Su Manrong shook her head, walked out of Uncle Fu's yard, and walked towards the house where A Jiang's relatives were staying.
She should have thought a long time ago that Ajiang's identity was extraordinary, and she should have thought that Ajiang's relatives could travel through mountains and rivers to Sichuan and Sichuan during natural disasters, which was even more extraordinary.
I just don’t know if their appearance has anything to do with Yue Jun’s arrival...
Or maybe they are Yue people themselves?
Standing in front of the house, Su Manrong took a deep breath before slowly pushing the door open. She was mentally prepared. If they were really from Yue country, they would not let her leave so easily.
But regardless of whether he is or not, she has to meet Ajiang. If he is not, then everything is fine.
If he is from Yue State, after the battle in Qianzhou City, he will definitely follow the Yue Army back...
"A Jiang?" Su Manrong pushed the door open and saw A Jiang sitting in a wheelchair. Uncle Xu was also standing quietly beside him, as if the master and servant were waiting for her.
"Sister, you're here." Ajiang slowly raised his eyes upon hearing the voice, his eyes full of heaviness.
"The Yue army is about to attack the city, is A Jiang afraid?"
Su Manrong looked at the silent courtyard. The expressions on A Jiang and Uncle Xu's faces made her puzzled.
"lady!"
Before Ajiang could answer, a dozen or so people jumped over the walls and stood in front of Su Manrong.
"Madam, I don't know. Ajiang's full name is Nie Jianghuai, and he is the hostage of the Yue Kingdom."
Yi Ling also just learned about A Jiang's true identity, and also knew that the reason why the Yue army came to capture Qianzhou was because Nie Jianghuai was here.
He just felt full of anger that Ajiang had deceived his wife's sincerity. Fortunately, she still treated him as a brother, but he actually hid this from her.
Su Manrong smiled slightly when she heard this. It seemed that she had guessed correctly. She knew that Ajiang must not be a child of an ordinary family, and she did not expect that he would be from Yue country at first.
But the Yue army traveled thousands of miles to come to Qianzhou, which was enough to prove that there was something attractive to them here.
"Then our Ajiang is now considered the prince of the Yue Kingdom?" Su Manrong raised her eyes and stared at the young man in the wheelchair, feeling a little bitter for no reason.
At this moment, she really hoped that Ajiang was just an ordinary kid from a rich family...
"Sister, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I was a fleeing Yue State proton at the time. If my identity was exposed, Emperor Shengkan would definitely send someone to imprison me..."
Ajiang looked at the half-smile in Su Manrong's eyes, and explained nervously: "The thirty Jingwei who were traveling with Uncle Xu have been knocked unconscious by the medicine we used, and they will not help the Yue army enter the city.
Sister, you can ask the magistrates to take me to the city gate. If my brother still cares about our brotherhood, he will definitely not attack me by force."
"Why?" Su Manrong frowned in confusion upon hearing this. After Yue Jun entered the city, Qianzhou City became a colony of Yue Jun.
As the prince of Yue State, Ajiang could treat it as his own fiefdom even if he wanted to live in Qianzhou.
Why did he go against the grain and help Qianzhou officials to resist the Yue army?
"Madam, the young master was taken to Shengkang State as a hostage when he was three years old. He cannot remember the appearance of the new king of Yue State, let alone his relatives and interesting stories from his childhood.
But he always remembered your kindness to him. If you wanted to stay in Qianzhou, he asked the old slave to tie up all thirty Jingwei.
Madam, I was the one who revealed the position of the new monarch. I originally wanted the young master to return to the Yue Kingdom. I never thought that the new monarch would personally conquer the country and travel thousands of miles to capture this place."
As Uncle Xu spoke, he knelt heavily in front of Su Manrong and kept admitting his mistake: "Although I was sent by the new monarch to take care of the young master, we have been living together in the Shengkang Kingdom for the past ten years.
I just want the young master to live as he pleases, madam, please don’t doubt the young master’s affection for you as a sibling.”
If he hadn't seen Su Manrong's tenderness and care for the young master with his own eyes, it would have been impossible for Uncle Xu to accompany the young master to fool around and stun the thirty fine guards of the new monarch.
He knew that once Qianzhou City was captured, the hatred between the wife and the young master would be separated by the hatred of family and country, and they would never be able to return to the original deep brother-sister relationship.
That's why he boldly stunned thirty Jingwei, just to delay the Yue army's attack on the city until the Shengkang army could rescue them.
"Uncle Xu, I am an adult, I can tell whether it is true or false.
Even if Ajiang and Yue's army cooperate inside and outside today and Qianzhou City falls, I won't blame him."
Su Manrong shook her head and gestured to Uncle Xu, telling him to stand up quickly.
She also knows that it is normal for people to actively strive for their own future. Especially when Ajiang became a hostage at a young age and was far away from his own country, it was very desolate.
"Sister, my brother came to capture this place because he wanted to make up for all the hardships I suffered when I was young. He doesn't know what Qianzhou City and my sister mean to me."
Ajiang was relieved when he heard Su Manrong say this. Fortunately, his sister did not blame him or drive him away directly...
"You little fool... We are just like brothers and sisters, and I am just an ordinary citizen. There is no love between us for our family and country.
I don’t want the Yue army to enter the city because I feel that the people have already suffered a lot from natural disasters. If war breaks out, only death and destruction will be waiting for them."
Su Manrong stepped forward, patted Ajiang's shoulder helplessly, and said with a smile: "But our Ajiang is the king of Yue, and your brother feels so guilty about you. I think it is better for you to go there in person than to let the officials take you as a hostage."
