No script time travel, the general helped me rise to the top

"Could the Crown Princess be able to tell fortunes? How much is a few coins for a divination?" Qin Haoran put one foot on the railing and glanced lazily into the distance. That direction was the place he had been unable to return to in the past six years.

The Crown Princess followed Qin Haoran's line of sight and continued, "Rong State is rich in wool, so it has created many large textile companies. Among them, the Helan clan, which owns the treasury of Rong State, is rich enough to rival a country!"

At this point, the Crown Princess paused for a moment, and seeing that Qin Haoran's face had become more solemn, she continued,

"The Helan family has seven or eight children, but the most powerful one is indeed the third son, Helan Qin. I heard that this child could do math at the age of three and was familiar with business books at the age of four. His father regards him as the hope of the family."

"But who would have known that six years ago, fifteen-year-old Helan Qin brought his servants to Dapu Country to expand his business, but he never expected that after that, there would be no news of him ever again!"

"All that was left was the bodies of half of his servants being carried back to Rong State in a miserable state!"

The Crown Princess stopped talking, fearing that it would be too cruel to continue.

But Qin Haoran unexpectedly laughed sadly, "The Crown Princess is not only good at fortune-telling, she can also be a storyteller, right? Hahaha!"

While chatting and laughing, he stood up and left.

"Master Qin, Yangyang has been caught up in the storm. It's already difficult enough for her now. How can someone with a deep hatred for her have the heart to drag her into the quagmire again!" said the Crown Princess behind him.

Qin Haoran paused. He understood the deep meaning of this sentence, but he also sneered, "How do you know that the life you arranged for her is not a bigger quagmire? What a joke!"

"you……"

Qin Haoran returned to his room and took out a stone box from the foot of the bed which was covered with dust. After hesitating for a long time, he finally opened the lid.

A ring was revealed inside. This ring was originally a pair and was passed down from their Helan family's ancestors.

In his generation, it should have been given to his elder brother Helan Gai!

But on the eve of his departure to Dapu, his father gave him this item and told him that he could lose anything except this ring and must find another one.

Not long after arriving in Dapu, all his servants were killed in Tong County.

He originally wanted to return to Rong State and try to report the local officials of Tong County to the Jingwei in the name of his family. However, he did not expect that when he returned to Rong State, his father had died and his family was controlled by his eldest brother.

Even his own identity was stripped away, saying that he had caused his servants to die in a foreign country and was not worthy of returning to Rong State.

In this way, he begged for half a year in hardship and returned to Dapu Kingdom. He finally understood that the disaster in Tong County was actually a premeditated plot by his eldest brother to seize power, and his father might have anticipated it!

So he stayed here and became a bandit leader.

On the one hand, he was investigating the local officials of Tong County, and on the other hand, he was looking for the ring.

Fortunately, thanks to his father's instructions, as long as he can find the other piece, he can return to the Helan family!

As for why? He didn't understand at first, but the moment he saw Yangyang, he finally understood!

He recognized her; they had met when they were children.

That was a baby in swaddling clothes in the imperial palace in the capital of Rong State!

Even without the ring, Qin Haoran could still recognize her.

Because at that time his father pointed at the child and said, 'This is your future daughter-in-law, you must look carefully.'

At that time, he vaguely remembered the two deep dimples on the child's face, until he saw them again on Yangyang's face many years later.

He laughed at himself for being stupid. Who would judge a person by his two dimples?

Moreover, how could a princess of the Rong Kingdom become the daughter of the left prime minister of the Dapu Kingdom? None of this seemed to make sense!

But even so, his deep feelings couldn't deceive him!

He took out the ring and wanted to confirm it now. After he dealt with Jiang Zhiang in the next few days, he would take Yangyang away. He couldn't wait any longer. If he waited any longer, everyone would know his true identity.

This was not the first time that Yangyang had encountered someone climbing through the window late at night, but this time it was Qin Haoran instead of Tang Yuwei.

"Master Qin, isn't it inappropriate for you to do this so late at night?" Yangyang was lying down.

Qin Haoran sat down beside Yangyang without any hesitation and dropped the ring from his hand. "Have you seen this thing?"

Yangyang took a look, and in the dim light, he reached out and picked up the ring and took a look. "How strange! It's exactly the same as the one the Queen Mother gave me! Where did you get it?"

"The Queen Mother gave it to you?"

"Yes! On the day I came of age, the Empress Dowager said it was given to me, and I have kept it with me ever since!" Yangyang's body had not yet fully recovered, but she forced herself to get up and find it to show him.

Qin Haoran said worriedly, "Lie down, I'll help you get it."

"There!" Yangyang pointed to a cabinet where the Crown Princess had placed it a few days ago.

Qin Haoran dug it out, took it in his hand and examined it for a while, confirming that it was correct, "You haven't been carrying it with you all the time?"

"No!" Yangyang looked at Qin Haoran's hesitant expression, "Why are you asking this? Where did you get this piece from?"

Qin Haoran was somewhat hesitant, but still said boldly, "Are you really the daughter of the Left Prime Minister?"

Yangyang was stunned. She didn't expect Qin Haoran to ask such a question. She was originally a little sad, but now there was no need to do so, because even the left prime minister might not be alive anymore. She said sadly, "What does it matter if it's true or not?"

"Forget it!" Qin Haoran saw the sadness in Yangyang's eyes, "I'll take you back to Rong Country and you'll know everything."

"Rong State?" Yangyang was afraid that she had heard it wrong when she heard these words from Qin Haoran's mouth.

"I am from Rong country, my original name is Helan Qin." As soon as he said this name, Qin Haoran felt as if he was unfamiliar, "This ring is an heirloom of our Helan family, and it is a pair!"

"what?"

Yangyang was even more confused now. How could this Helan family thing be in the hands of the Queen Mother, and why did the Queen Mother give it to her? "The Queen Mother may not know the origin of this thing, so she gave it to me?"

"Of course the Queen Mother knows. Our Helan clan once received her!" Qin Haoran stroked the two identical rings in his hands!

Suddenly an idea popped into my mind, "Maybe she's just giving you back something that originally belonged to you!"

"Master Qin, I don't understand a word of what you are saying all of a sudden." She originally only knew that she was not the biological daughter of the Left Prime Minister, but now she inexplicably got a ring and pendant from a Rong man.

No way! No way! Could it be that my mother Jia, like my grandmother, married a Rong person?

That's why the Left Prime Minister has remained silent, because ever since my grandfather brought my grandmother back from Rong State, Rong State and Dapu have been in an incompatible situation over the years.

Facing Yangyang's question, Qin Haoran smiled and said, "It's okay. We'll have plenty of time in the future anyway!"
