After rebirth, I rejected the Regent, but he pursued me instead

"Going back to the Jiang family? Didn't you just go back a few days ago?"

Song Qiyan nodded Jiang Wanyu's head and held her in his arms. "What? Are you homesick again so soon?"

"That's not the case either."

"Just now my second brother told me that the court ordered my father to go to the Western Regions to fight. My father's health is not very good, so I think our family must be in a mess right now."

"That's it..."

Song Qiyan was a little absent-minded. He only knew that Jiang Yunan had been injured on the battlefield, but he didn't expect that the injury was so serious. He thought that he had deliberately concealed the injury.

For a moment, he swallowed the fact he wanted to tell her, but Jiang Wanyu pulled his hand and urged him.

"Let's go, just take me back. I just want you to stay with me, and I will go back to Prince Jing's Mansion by myself later."

"it is good."

He chuckled, helped her onto the carriage, and then drove towards the Jiang Mansion.

-

Inside the carriage, Song Qiyan stood aside, constantly thinking about how to start the conversation, and Jiang Wanyu saw through his thoughts.

"Why? You want to tell me something?"

"I………"

"Just say it if you have something to say. Didn't you promise me not to hide anything from me?"

With Jiang Wanyu's affirmation, Song Qiyan decided to tell her the truth, "In fact, it was me who arranged for your father to go on this trip."

"I know."

"you know?"

Song Qi Yan was a little dazed for a moment, he had never mentioned this to her.

"You told me that you spent seven or eight years changing the flag and the court is now actually in your hands. The emperor passed away, and the prince is still young and unable to control the court, so this must have been what you wished for. On the surface, Ye Xianzhou took over the power, but in fact he was in control behind the scenes. Now that the border troubles in the Western Regions continue, you must have made the best plan as the decision maker."

Hearing this, Song Qi Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at her and said.

"Then don't you hate me? I sent your father to the battlefield with my own hands."

"Hate, how can I say hate?"

Jiang Wanyu looked out the window in a daze. She knew that he had no choice, so she couldn't selfishly interfere with his decision.

"As a general, it should be your father's duty to defend the country; as the ruler of the dynasty, you should put the overall situation first and make the best strategy. How can I blame you? Now I can only hope that the war will end soon."

"Wanwan is still sensible."

After hearing Jiang Wanyu's words, Song Qiyan let go of the grudge in his heart, and his eyes turned into relief. He gently supported her shoulders and held her in his arms.

"Don't worry, I will send people from the Netherworld Sect to help, and they will naturally protect your father's safety in secret. But your father has been fighting for many years and has more experience than anyone else. It would be best for him to go in this battle."

"Ah."

Having said that, she was still a little worried. She always felt that this trip would be full of difficulties. As Jiang Yunan's daughter, she was naturally reluctant to see her father leave.

-

Soon, the two arrived at the mansion, and Song Qiyan helped Jiang Wanyu get off the carriage.

"Since we're here, I'll go in with you, so my father-in-law won't scold me again."

"it is good."

Jiang Wanyu smiled slightly, then she and Song Qiyan stepped into the mansion.

However, as soon as they walked out of the main hall, they heard the sound of Jiang Sheng and Jiang Yu Nan arguing.

"Father, your injury has not healed yet, why did you agree to go to the Western Regions with the imperial court? You don't want to have us children anymore."

Jiang Sheng pulled Jiang Yu Nan's sleeve, trying to stop him from going to the court to answer his orders, but Jiang Yu Nan kicked him away.

"You bastard, your father is not dead yet, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Besides, as a man of eight feet tall, I should protect my country. Otherwise, how can I be worthy of the deceased emperor? Now that the Western Region is in trouble, of course I have to go there. Get out of the way and let me go."

"No!"

Jiang Sheng opened his hands and stood in front of Jiang Yu Nan, not letting him leave.

Seeing that Jiang Yunan refused to give up, he looked at Jiang Xun again.

"Brother, why don't you try to persuade father? Don't you know the extent of his injuries? He just fought in a war and the root of his illness hasn't been cured yet. How can you let him go to the Western Regions now? Besides, father has sacrificed so much. What if he doesn't go this time? There are so many brave warriors in the dynasty. Is there no one who can go in his place?"

Jiang Xun didn't say anything for a long while, then pulled Jiang Sheng aside and said, "It's hard to resist the imperial decree, and father's trip here is the best outcome after discussion in the court, I'm afraid it won't work."

"Yes, yes."

Jiang Yunan patted Jiang Xun on the shoulder and nodded, "Once a general, you will serve the country for life. It is hard to say how much you have contributed. You should learn more from your elder brother to understand the overall situation and have a long-term vision, instead of just playing around all day."

"What do you mean by the overall situation?"

Jiang Sheng clenched his fists tightly and refused to open his mouth. "If you can't even protect your family, what's the point of knowing the overall situation? Mother left early, and now Wanwan has just got married, and you're leaving. What if something happens to you?"

"Silly boy."

Jiang Yunan sighed softly and patted Jiang Sheng on the shoulder, "If you are like this, you can't be the general you want to be."

After saying that, he stood up to leave. Jiang Sheng tried to chase him, but unexpectedly he ran into Song Qiyan and Jiang Wanyu.

"Wanwan, why are you here? You didn't even inform me."

"I heard that you were going to the war, so I wanted to come and see you off."

"My good daughter is sensible."

Jiang Yunan rubbed Jiang Wanyu's head with a smile, completely forgetting that Song Qiyan was standing next to him.

Just as she was about to say hello, Jiang Sheng caught up with her and grabbed Jiang Wanyu to reason with her.

"Wanwan, how can father go to attack the Western Regions in such a poor condition? Let's persuade him together."

"I'm afraid it won't work this time, second brother."

Jiang Wanyu shook her head and said, "Now the court has ordered father to go. Even if they value father's ability, how can they disobey him? And since it is the arrangement of the court, it must be the best arrangement. I am afraid father has to go this time."

"Wanwan, why do you say that too?"

Jiang Sheng dropped his hands in disappointment, and could not help but glance at Song Qiyan fiercely, "Did you teach my Wanwan bad things? Now she has become so cold and indifferent."

"Forehead……"

Song Qiyan was ashamed, he didn't say anything.

"Okay, okay, you're not as smart as your sister. I'm leaving now. I don't want to bother with you anymore."

Jiang Yunan raised his hand and left again, but Jiang Sheng knelt down in front of Jiang Yunan and said, "Father, you can go, but I want to go with you."
