Marrying a rich man after rebirth: The daily life of a legitimate daughter
Chapter 190 Encounter with Li Wanrong
When the prince received the letter and learned that He Shulan was pregnant, he was overjoyed.
I picked up the pen on the table and started replying. The letters were full of concern and instructions.
After writing the letter, he immediately asked the soldiers to deliver it to the capital. He had just taken off his clothes and rested for a short while.
Hearing the sound of a horn outside, he suddenly jumped out of bed, put on his clothes, and went to the city wall.
Seeing that the enemy soldiers were attacking the city fiercely, the prince picked up the sword at his waist and led the soldiers out of the city gate to meet the enemy.
The enemy soldiers were not in a hurry to attack, but pushed the civilians they captured in the border town in front of the prince.
The prince was furious: "You are so shameless to use civilians as hostages on the battlefield."
"Your Majesty, you used your troops very quickly. You pushed back all the cities we captured. This is the last city. In order to keep it, we have to use extraordinary means."
"Hmph, do you think I will compromise if you capture a few civilians?" The prince did not agree to the enemy soldiers' demands on the surface. If he compromised, not only would he not be able to take back the city, but they would also threaten him even more unscrupulously.
The enemy soldiers, seeing that these few civilians could not threaten the prince, pushed more civilians in front of the prince and said: "If you don't give up the city, I will kill all these civilians."
"You..." The prince did not dare to move, nor did he dare to respond: "We need to discuss this matter."
"I hope the wait won't be too long.", the enemy soldier said with a smug smile on his face.
After returning to the city, the soldier could not help but ask, "Prince, do you really intend to exchange the captured civilians for the city that the soldiers took at the cost of their lives?"
"We can't just ignore it. The lives of the people are more important than the city. Even though the city has been replaced, we can still take it down again." The prince said this without thinking.
The soldier glanced at the captured civilians under the city wall and swallowed the words of persuasion that were about to come to his lips.
Everyone has relatives, and they would be extremely anxious if their family members were taken hostage.
The prince continued, "The army will withdraw from the tower tomorrow."
The city was brightly lit throughout the night. Not only did the prince not sleep, but even the soldiers were busy packing up overnight.
At daybreak, the prince led his soldiers out from the city wall and said, "Immediately release the people you have captured."
When the enemy soldiers saw the prince leading his soldiers out of the city, they replied happily: "With so many soldiers watching, we will not break the agreement, nor dare to break it."
The captured people were immediately released on the spot.
The people who were kidnapped ran into the prince's team in panic, seeking protection.
The prince led the people to another city they had captured.
In order not to disturb the people in the city, he temporarily settled them in a temple in the suburbs.
When the soldiers learned that the people had not eaten for several days, they immediately built a simple stove on the grass outside and started cooking.
The prince sat on the steps, looking at the sunset in the distance.
"Uncle, here's some candy for you."
The childish voice in his ear made the prince lower his head. He saw a little girl standing in front of him. Her clothes were luxurious but tattered.
The hair on top of his head was also messy, and his chubby little face was covered in mud.
His big, bright black eyes looked at her timidly. In the palm of his little hand, there was a candy. The wrapping paper was worn out, and it was obvious that it had been kept for a long time. "Uncle doesn't like candy, so you should keep it for yourself."
The little girl shook her head and said, "You saved my life and my parents' lives. I don't know how to repay you, so I'll give you my favorite candy."
The prince touched the little girl's head and took the candy from her hand: "Thank you."
A shy smile appeared on the little girl's chubby face.
"Xiaoxiao, where are you?"
Anxious shouts were heard at the temple gate.
The little girl said to the prince in a soft voice: "My mother is here to see me. I'm leaving now."
"Hmm!" The prince felt that the anxious voice was extremely familiar. He stood up and looked at the person running towards him. It was Li Wanrong, whom he had not seen for a long time.
When Li Wanrong saw the prince, she smiled awkwardly: "Long time no see."
"How did you get caught by enemy soldiers?"
Li Wanrong had seen the prince sitting on a horse a long time ago, but it was the first time she saw the prince in such a heroic manner.
The whole person exuded a cold aura, which made the enemy dare not underestimate her. She hid in the crowd, not daring to let the prince see her.
Xiaoxiao disappeared. She was too anxious and didn't expect to run into the prince. "Huo Jian and I were delivering goods with our children when we ran into enemy soldiers who were arresting people in the city. Unfortunately, we were captured."
The prince was silent for a while: "I didn't expect to meet you here. You've already given birth to a child. It seems that you are doing well."
Since leaving the Prince's Mansion, without the intrigue and constraints, Li Wanrong has indeed lived a good life: "Thank you for your help."
The prince didn't say anything. She fell in love with Li Wanrong because of this quality of hers. She was carefree and unrestrained. "As long as you live a good life, that's all."
Li Wanrong asked, "What about you?"
"I'm doing well too. He Shulan is pregnant. I will return to the capital after this war." The prince did not hide anything and told Li Wanrong everything.
All the past events have become the past. At this moment, the two of them are like friends who have not seen each other for a long time, standing together and chatting with each other.
"Very good." Li Wanrong had fought a life-and-death battle with He Shulan in the Prince's Mansion. Now that she was living the life she wanted, she no longer cared about He Shulan as before.
The prince did not respond.
The two stood there, and the atmosphere became awkward for a moment.
At this time Huo Jian ran over and said, "I found Xiaoxiao." His appearance broke the awkwardness.
Because he was worried about Li Wanrong, he did not recognize the prince standing in front of him, and left taking Li Wanrong and Xiaoxiao's hands.
The prince felt deeply moved as he watched Li Wanrong and her family of three leave.
He handed the people over to local officials and left with his soldiers before dark.
Xiaoxiao leaned against the window, watching the soldier disappear at the temple gate, and asked Li Wanrong who was sitting next to her in a low voice: "Mom, do you know the uncle who saved us?"
Li Wanrong did not deny it, nor did she tell Xiaoxiao everything: "Yes, old friends."
In order to prevent Xiaoxiao from continuing to ask questions, she took out a piece of paper and placed it on the table: "Let's play Gobang."
Xiaoxiao was immediately attracted and did not ask any further questions.
