After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

It was early November and the weather was cold and bleak.

The atmosphere of today's morning court was just like the weather, exceptionally gloomy.

Emperor Chengren sat in the dragon throne with an angry look on his face.

"The Northern Xin Kingdom is going too far!"

"Your Majesty, calm down..."

The officials below all knelt down.

"How can I calm down?!"

Emperor Chengren's chest rose and fell violently.

Military intelligence came in early this morning that the Beixin Kingdom had invaded the cities in the northern border of Dacheng with great fanfare, entering the cities and burning, killing and looting, without taking the people of Dacheng into consideration at all.

He looked at Jiang Ci'an who was kneeling on the ground and spoke in a deep voice:

"Jiang Ci'an, how confident are you in fighting against the Northern Xin Kingdom now?"

"Your Majesty, 80 percent." Jiang Ci'an said confidently.

"Okay! I order you to lead your army to the northern border today to resist the attack from the Northern Xin Kingdom!"

"Yes!" Jiang Ci'an raised his head, "Your Majesty, I have a favor to ask of you."

"What's the matter?"

"Commander Yuan is extremely intelligent and has great military strategies. I request that Your Majesty promote him to deputy general and join me in fighting against the invasion of the Northern Xin Kingdom!"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

"Isn't this inappropriate? Commander Yuan is powerful, but he has never been on the battlefield..."

"Yes, and he is the prince of the Southern Dynasty. It may not be appropriate for him to be a deputy general, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, please think twice!"

"Your Majesty, please think again!"

The court officials began to chatter.

"Your Majesty," Duke Jiang suddenly spoke, "Commander Yuan's sensitivity and judgment of military situations are beyond the reach of ordinary people. This is obvious to all."

"As for the fact that he is from the Southern Dynasty..."

Duke Jiang glanced at the dissenting court officials.

"You may not know that this time, the Northern Xin Kingdom not only attacked our Dacheng Kingdom, but also launched an attack on the Southern Dynasty Kingdom."

"The Queen of the Southern Dynasty has sent a letter to our dynasty asking for help. In this battle, the Southern Dynasty really needs Dacheng's help."

The implication is that the Southern Dynasty still has to rely on Dacheng for its survival, and Yuanguang cannot possibly have any second thoughts about Dacheng on this matter.

After this was said, no one objected.

"Okay, in that case, let's appoint Yuan Guang as deputy general to assist Jiang Ci'an in fighting against the Northern Xin Kingdom!" Emperor Chengren ordered.

Jiang Ci'an knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

Zheng Ye, who was standing behind the team of officials, raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction.

Zhenguogongfu.

The four members of the Jiang family, father and son, stayed in the study until the evening, discussing things non-stop.

Jiang Ruoli sat in the front hall, feeling a little anxious.

She knew that Dacheng and Beixin Kingdom were about to go to war, and this was a battle that depended on the life and death of her second brother.

At dinner time, the door of the study opened and the father and son of the Jiang family walked out.

Sitting at the dinner table, the family finished the meal in silence.

Because she was worried about Jiang Ci'an, Jiang Ruoli didn't eat much of the meal.

The servants took the food away, and she finally couldn't help but speak.

"Second brother...when are we leaving?"

Jiang Ci'an paused, "Three days later."

The time point is similar to the original book.

Although the battle was won in the original book, it was won with great difficulty and most of Jiang's army was killed.

Even Jiang Ci'an lost his life.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ruoli suddenly remembered something.

"Second brother, who will be the deputy commander this time?"

Speaking of this, Jiang Ci'an felt a little more relaxed.

"It's Yuan Guang."

【That's good. 】

[As long as they are not from Beixin Country, it’s fine. ]

Jiang Ruoli breathed a sigh of relief.

[Brother, have you made adequate preparations this time? This battle is very difficult...]

Jiang Ci'an was also worried about this.

He had heard from his younger sister before that Beixin would be difficult to attack this time, so he made full preparations for this.

But he still felt a little unsure.

And although there is no Beixin people as deputy general this time, it is not certain that Beixin will not find other ways to harm him, and whether the "evidence" that will eventually destroy the Zhenguogong Mansion will appear...

What Jiang Ci'an is worried about is also what the Jiang family is worried about.

There was silence in the room for a long time.

Finally, it was Duke Jiang who spoke.

"Don't be afraid, second brother. Do your best and leave the rest to fate."

"Don't worry about the mansion. I will have someone keep a close eye on the people there during this period of time."

"Yes, second brother, you have made all the preparations. I believe God will bless you." Jiang Ci Yan comforted.

"Third brother, don't worry. We are at home." Jiang Ci Jin also said.

Jiang Ci'an nodded after hearing this.

Mrs. Jiang's eyes were a little red, and she was reluctant to look at her son.

"Mom, don't worry, your son will return safely!" Jiang Ci'an comforted Mrs. Jiang.

Mrs. Jiang nodded silently.

Jiang Ruoli fell into deep thought.

She kept recalling the plot of the original book.

The "evidence" of treason and collaborating with the enemy was placed in the second brother's study after the war. Although Chen Li'niang has been driven to the farm now, there is no guarantee that the other party will not send the "evidence" in through someone else.

But just now, Daddy said that he would keep a close watch on the people in the mansion, so he shouldn't give the other party a chance to take advantage of it...

Everyone in the Jiang family was preoccupied with their own thoughts and remained silent.

At this time, a servant came in to report.

"Master, Madam, Miss Ning is here."

Miss Ning is Yi Lan.

"Please come in." Jiang Ci'an said hurriedly.

Ning Yilan walked quickly into the house and bowed to Duke Jiang and Madam Jiang.

"Yi Lan, why are you here?" Jiang Ci'an hurriedly went to greet her.

Ning Yilan looked at him and said firmly:

"Ci'an, I want to go to the battlefield with you!"

When these words were spoken, the Jiang family was shocked.

"No!" Jiang Ci'an refused without even thinking.

Ning Yilan was not surprised by his reaction.

"Ci'an, I know that Dacheng has never had a woman go to the battlefield, but I really don't want to stay in Kyoto for the rest of my life."

"You know, I am very skilled in martial arts and can be helpful to you on the battlefield."

Jiang Ci'an frowned and said nothing.

Jiang Ruoli was a little surprised.

[Sister Yi Lan's martial arts skills have not been abolished? She should have quit Xuanying Sect by now...]

In the original book, it was because Yi Lan's martial arts were abolished and she was seriously injured and weak that the second brother's concubine took advantage of the opportunity to kill her.

Now Yi Lan is fine, which means that the series of changes in the Jiang family have produced a butterfly effect, allowing Yi Lan to safely withdraw from the Xuanying Sect.

[In this case, Second Brother might as well let Sister Yi Lan go to the battlefield with us.]

[Sister Yi Lan is from the Xuanying Sect after all. It would be unfair for her to just stay in Kyoto. Besides, she is very skilled and might be able to help my second brother on the battlefield.]

Jiang Ci'an's eyes flickered slightly.

How could he not know what my younger sister said?

But the battlefield was bloody and full of swords and knives, and he was really worried that something might happen to her.

"Yilan, even if I agree to let you go, Lord Ning and Madam Ning will probably not agree." Jiang Ci'an said.

Ning Yilan smiled lightly, "Don't worry about that. I have already convinced my father and mother, and they have agreed to let me go to the battlefield."

Jiang Ci'an choked.

"An'er," Mrs. Jiang said, "In that case, you should agree to let Yi Lan go with you."

As they were both women, she could naturally understand Yi Lan's reluctance.

Who said women couldn't fight in battle? She thought Yi Lan had absolutely no problem.

Jiang Ci'an looked at Madam Jiang, then turned his gaze to Duke Jiang, who nodded.

"Okay, I will ask His Majesty tomorrow and you will follow me to the battlefield." Jiang Ci'an said in a deep voice.

"Okay!" Ning Yilan laughed.

"But one thing is that you must ensure your personal safety and not make any mistakes."

"Don't worry, General Jiang. I will obey your orders!" Yi Lan comforted.

Jiang Ci'an smiled, but there was still a deep worry in his eyes.
