On the day of rebirth, I took my baby to find Jiuqiansui to recognize his relatives

However, before they set off, they received another imperial decree. The eunuch in the palace read out respectfully: "The emperor has ordered that Young Master Ayan stay in the palace and be taught by the Grand Master himself. He is not allowed to accompany the emperor to the south."

Jiang Yanwan was stunned after hearing this: "How...how can this be possible? Ah Yan is so young, what will happen to him if he leaves us?"

Wu Junyao's eyes flashed with helplessness. He knew the emperor's intention very well, but he could not refute it. He could only comfort her gently: "Yan Wan, the emperor will naturally have his arrangements. Don't worry. Ah Yan will be well taken care of in the palace."

Jiang Yanwan bit her lip silently and looked at A Yan who was leaning against her, her eyes full of pity and reluctance.

Ah Yan held his mother's hand tightly. His little heart was actually filled with fear and anxiety, but he still pretended to be brave: "Mom, I will study hard and wait for you to come back."

Jiang Yanwan gently stroked his head, tears streaming down her cheeks: "Ayan, you are your mother's pride. You must be obedient, understand?"

Ah Yan nodded heavily: "Don't worry, mother, I will be good."

The time of separation finally came, and they said goodbye in tears in front of the palace gate. Jiang Yanwan looked at A Yan reluctantly, but finally had to follow Wu Junyao on the road to the south.

On the way, Jiang Yanwan's heart was full of contradictions and anxieties. She thought many times whether she should ask to stay in the capital again, but every time she saw Wu Junyao's determined eyes, she chose to remain silent.

After a long journey, they finally arrived in the south, the worst-hit area. They were shocked by the scene before them: floods were raging and people were displaced.

Wu Junyao did not hesitate for a moment and immediately threw himself into the disaster relief work. He directed the dispatch and arranged everything in an orderly manner, and soon gained the trust and respect of the local people.

Jiang Yanwan became his right-hand man without hesitation. She brought medicines from the capital and went to every household affected by the flood to treat the patients and comfort the suffering people.

One night, Wu Junyao was handling official business in the tent when he suddenly found Jiang Yanwan walking in with a pot of hot soup.

"It's so late, are you still busy?" Jiang Yanwan asked with concern, handing him the hot soup, "Drink some hot soup, you haven't had a good rest these days."

Wu Junyao took the bowl of soup and looked at her gratefully: "Thank you, Yan Wan. If you weren't here, I don't know how I would have survived."

Jiang Yanwan's eyes flashed with tenderness, and she said softly: "As long as I can help you, it's worth it no matter how hard it is."

Wu Junyao put down the soup bowl and looked at her deeply. He obviously had something to say but didn't know where to start.

At this moment, a guard suddenly ran in, looking panicked: "General, there is an emergency!"

Wu Junyao stood up immediately: "What's wrong?"

"The water level in the village ahead has suddenly risen. I'm afraid there will be a new breach!" the guard said anxiously.

Wu Junyao's face changed, and he quickly ordered: "Gather the people immediately and follow me to check it out!"

Jiang Yanwan also ignored her fatigue and followed Wu Junyao. When they arrived at the scene, they saw that the water level was rising rapidly and the situation was very critical.

Wu Junyao decisively directed everyone to carry out emergency rescue, and he worked hard with the villagers to block the breach. At this critical moment of life and death, everyone tried their best and no one backed down.

Finally, with the joint efforts of everyone, the breach was blocked and the water level began to slowly drop. The villagers cheered and thanked Wu Junyao for his heroic leadership.

Wu Junyao let out a long sigh, turned around, and saw Jiang Yanwan standing not far away. Although her face was covered with mud and water, her resolute eyes made him feel extremely warm.

"Yan Wan, thank you." Wu Junyao walked forward and said softly.

Jiang Yanwan smiled and shook her head: "You're welcome, we are a family."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Junyao suddenly noticed some strange movements, and he looked into the distance vigilantly. Sure enough, a dark shadow flashed on the river bank not far away.

"There is an assassin!" Wu Junyao warned in a low voice and quickly drew his sword to be on guard.

Jiang Yanwan also became nervous and looked around: "Be careful."

Soon, several masked assassins pounced out from the darkness, with swords flashing and sabers flying, full of murderous intent.

Wu Junyao faced the enemy calmly. His swordsmanship was sharp and he killed several assassins in an instant. But more shadows came up, and it was obvious that the other party was well prepared.

Jiang Yanwan did not panic. She quickly picked up a wooden stick and fought side by side with Wu Junyao.

"Protect yourself!" Wu Junyao warned, while swinging his sword hard to repel an assassin.

Jiang Yanwan gritted her teeth and hit the enemy with a wooden stick. She knew that she had to remain calm at this moment and not drag down Wu Junyao.

The assassination continued, and the situation became increasingly tense. At this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared, with a sharp blade in his hand approaching Jiang Yanwan.

"Yan Wan, be careful!" Wu Junyao shouted and quickly stood in front of her.

The sharp blade cut through the night sky, bringing with it a cold light. However, in an instant, a crisp sound was heard, and the assassin's blade was bounced away by a powerful force!

"Who!" Wu Junyao asked, looking around vigilantly.

In the distance, a tall and straight figure slowly approached, holding an exquisite longbow in his hand. This person had a sharp gaze and an imposing manner. It was the Prince of Jin who had just arrived from the capital.

"General Wu, Miss Jiang, are you okay?" Prince Jin asked with concern, a hint of nervousness in his eyes.

Wu Junyao relaxed slightly and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your timely help. We are safe and sound."

Jiang Yanwan also looked at King Jin with gratitude. Although she was still a little flustered, she was more grateful for having survived the disaster.

"Who sent these assassins?" Prince Jin frowned slightly, his eyes full of deep thought.

"It seems that these people don't want us to successfully contain the flood." Wu Junyao said coldly, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

King Jin nodded slightly: "No matter who they are, their conspiracy will not succeed. As long as we work together, no difficulties can stop us."

Just then, another team of guards arrived and quickly subdued the remaining assassins.

"Your Highness, General, there are still some surviving assassins. What should we do with them?" a guard asked respectfully.

King Jin's eyes turned cold: "Take them all back and interrogate them carefully. We must find out who is behind this."

The guards quickly escorted the assassin away, and the scene returned to calm. Wu Junyao and Jiang Yanwan looked at each other, and the tension in their hearts finally eased a little.

"My Lord, thanks to you tonight." Wu Junyao said gratefully, "Otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

King Jin smiled and patted Wu Junyao on the shoulder: "There's no need to be polite between us."
