Cousin Chitose Chitose

Before Xiao Xizi arrived, Jiang Yuanwan was talking to Wei Yichen.

When the news of the border victory came back, Jiang Yuanwan breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, she received a family letter sent to her by Wei Yichen from General Zhuang. The words, but Jiang Yuanwan's nose was sour when she saw it, and she almost shed tears.It's been a long time since she saw her brother's handwriting...

Wei Yichen took her into his arms, patted her on the back lightly, and said warmly, "You two will meet again soon."

Jiang Yuanwan buried her head in his arms, and gave a muffled hum: "I've been waiting for so many years, and it's not too late. Actually, I should be happy to receive a letter from my brother reporting his safety, but For some reason, I just can't stop the tears."

"If you can't bear it, don't bear it. These years, you have suffered. In the future, you can try to rely on me more."

"Ah."

Wei Yichen's eyes suddenly focused: "The envelope of this letter seems to have a layer."

Jiang Yuanwan was stunned, she poked her head out of Wei Yichen's arms, carefully checked the envelope, and sure enough, she took out a note from the interlayer. After reading the letter, Jiang Yuanwan broke out in cold sweat.

This note wrote how Empress Dowager Liu discovered Jiang Lian's identity and attacked him. I am afraid that by now, Empress Dowager Liu has also found out Jiang Yuanwan's identity.Empress Dowager Liu failed to take Jiang Lian's life, so she might do something to Jiang Yuanwan.At the end of the letter, Jiang Lian told her to escape.

Wei Yichen touched Jiang Yuanwan's head in wonder: "What's wrong, Yuanyuan?"

But at this time, someone from outside came to report that Eunuch Xi from the palace wanted to see Jiang Yuanwan.When Jiang Yuanwan heard this, she shook Wei Yichen's hand tightly.

Wei Yichen held Jiang Yuanwan's hand instead: "Don't be afraid, this eunuch Xi is a necessary eunuch by the emperor's side, so he shouldn't do you any harm."

While speaking, the servant had already led Xiao Xizi in.

Xiao Xizi glanced at Jiang Yuanwan and Wei Yichen: "Can I have a few words with Miss Jiang alone?"

"Can't I be there?" Wei Yichen asked with a frown.

Jiang Yuanwan was obviously very disturbed, and he didn't feel at ease leaving Jiang Yuanwan alone.

Xiao Xizi looked at Wei Yichen in embarrassment: "This... the emperor only told the slave to talk to Miss Jiang. Without the emperor's order, the slave dare not tell others without authorization."

Wei Yichen also knew that Xiao Xizi was a bit stubborn.If the emperor told him to tell one person about one thing, he would never tell it to another person.If Wei Yichen wasn't the emperor's confidant, Xiao Xizi wouldn't even tell him about these things.

At this time, Jiang Yuanwan calmed down: "It's okay, cousin, you can go out, I believe this Xi Gonggong will not harm me."

If the emperor didn't know her true identity, he would definitely not pay attention to an orphan like her.

Although she didn't know when the emperor knew about it, if the emperor wanted to harm her, she wouldn't be alive today.

Now that the emperor sent someone to look for her, it must be something important.

Wei Yichen said this time: "That's fine, call me if you need something." After saying that, he led the servants around him and retreated.

Xiao Xizi was cautious, first checked that no one around was overhearing, and then said to Jiang Yuanwan: "Miss Jiang, the emperor asked the servants to take you into the palace through a secret passage, the emperor has something very important to hand over. here you are."

From Xiao Xizi's appearance, he didn't know what that thing was.

But at this moment, there was another commotion outside the door, and Xiao Xizi immediately looked out of the window vigilantly like a dog smelling a stranger: "No, it's the Queen Mother's people who have come!"

If someone from the Queen Mother finds out that he has come to the Marquis of Changning, and that he still came to look for Jiang Yuanwan, I'm afraid both he and Jiang Yuanwan will suffer!

Xiao Xizi looked around, and suddenly pulled Jiang Yuanwan and hid behind a cabinet.

Jiang Yuanwan was quite speechless seeing his nervous look.She really wanted to say that there is no need to do this, if people don't come in to look for someone, they won't be found, and if they really come in, they can't hide.

But she didn't say anything after all.

When she heard her name being mentioned by someone sent by the queen mother outside the house, her heart tightened.

She heard Wei Yichen tell the people sent by the Queen Mother that she is not at home now, she has gone to the temple to pray, and she will stay in the temple for one night before returning.

The people sent by the Empress Dowager didn't seem to believe it, and when they proposed to search the house, Wei Yichen asked coldly: "Are you going to rob the house? If you want to rob the house, I have invited the emperor's order. Kneel down to greet you, if you can't invite the emperor's will, just relying on you few palace servants, you also want to copy the residence of the imperial court official? It's ridiculous!"

Wei Yichen's attitude was extremely tough, and those palace people couldn't do anything after all, so they had to leave in despair.However, before they left, they spoke harsh words to Wei Yichen, telling Wei Yichen that the Queen Mother would never let him go.Wei Yichen scoffed at this.

Seeing that all the people sent by the Queen Mother had left, Xiao Xizi finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I almost didn't scare me to death."

At this moment, Wei Yichen pushed the door open and came in: "Yuanyuan, don't worry, I won't let the Queen Mother's people take you away...Yuanyuan?"

Jiang Yuanwan came out from the back of the closet calmly: "I'm here, I heard what you said just now. Cousin Lao Chen is here with the Queen Mother, and you are dragging me. Now I have to go to the palace with Eunuch Xi."

Wei Yichen frowned, and a pair of sharp eyes swept towards Xiao Xizi who had just crawled out from behind the cabinet, so scared that Xiao Xizi hurriedly said: "It's the emperor who wants to see Miss Jiang, slave, and slave is also following orders!"

"You also saw that the Empress Dowager was also looking for Yuanyuan just now. If you bring Yuanyuan into the palace now, wouldn't it be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?"

Xiao Xizi said without hesitation: "Please rest assured, my son and Miss Jiang entered the palace through a secret way, and the queen mother will not find out. I guarantee that I will send Miss Jiang out completely."

Jiang Yuanwan held her forehead and couldn't bear to look directly at the side. How could this eunuch be so stupid and cute?He just said that he was tight-lipped, but now that Wei Yichen fooled him, he immediately revealed his true nature.

Xiao Xizi obviously realized this too, covered her mouth and looked at Wei Yichen defensively, refusing to speak any more.

Wei Yichen got the news he wanted to know, and he didn't intend to embarrass Xiao Xizi, so he just stared at Jiang Yuanwan: "Go early and return early, always be careful in the palace."

Jiang Yuanwan nodded obediently, and she was not impatient with his tireless instructions: "Don't worry, I understand."

Wei Yichen watched Jiang Yuanwan and Xiao Xizi disappear before his eyes, and immediately sent people to Rong'an Grand Princess's Mansion, Li's Mansion, and Wu Mansion, and was going to contact the people in the three mansions to have a fight in front of Empress Dowager Liu together. Make trouble, so that Empress Dowager Liu has no time to take care of Jiang Yuanwan for the time being.

Now that the imperial party is in a weak position, it is natural for the several families to stick together and help each other.

The actions of the three families were quick: "Since the empress dowager is in the mood to summon a civilian girl who is out of reach, it must be because the emperor's health has improved? If so, can you allow the courtiers to visit the palace?"

Empress Dowager Liu's face turned pale, and she made a serious note of those people who worked under her.Don't tell me that the matter was not done, and was discovered by others!

Just when Empress Dowager Liu was surrounded by people who asked to visit the emperor again, Jiang Yuanwan was brought to the emperor when she was thinking of making excuses to deal with these people.

Although the emperor is her uncle in name, she and the emperor actually have nothing to do with each other.However, she discovered that it was not a lie that the first emperor said that the emperor was like him.In terms of appearance, the emperor is really similar to the first emperor.The emperor was also influenced by the former emperor in terms of his behavior.

But right now, he looks really weak.Obviously it was the time when he was young, but he looked like a dying person, drained of vigor and energy.

"Emperor...uncle..." To this young emperor who was about the same age as him, Jiang Yuanwan really couldn't say "uncle".

The emperor was very happy when he saw her: "You are Zhaohua, right? The emperor once mentioned you to me. He said that you are a lively little girl who loves to laugh. eat."

Jiang Yuanwan: "...The girl doesn't remember much about such a long time ago."

"You don't have to be so cautious in front of me." The emperor looked at Jiang Yuanwan with gentle eyes. When he was talking to Jiang Yuanwan, he didn't even use words, and he was completely gossiping: "Although I am you in name Uncle, but as soon as I saw you, I felt kind in my heart, and felt like you were my sister."

Jiang Yuanwan didn't know why so many people, including Wei Yichen and Zhou Jing, were willing to pledge allegiance to him until she met the emperor and had a conversation with him. He has a unique charisma and a tolerant heart.

Such a person could have become a very good emperor.It's a pity that there is such a real mother as the Empress Dowager Liu, who has been severely injured by the torment, and I don't know how long she can live.

After talking for a while, the emperor began to feel dizzy again, so he had no choice but to make a long story short: "You should know that when the father was alive, he was very wary of my mother and queen, right? At the beginning, the father was hindering me. He really attacked my queen mother, but he finally saved his hand—"

"Before he died, my father left me a secret decree, telling me that if my mother would be her queen mother in a peaceful manner in the future, that would be fine. If my mother intends to imitate Empress Lu and Empress Wu, let me keep him Take out the secret decree and let the queen mother die for him."

It has to be said that the first emperor considered it comprehensively.If the emperor confronts the Empress Dowager Liu, he will always be shackled by filial piety and his hands and feet will be tied.But if there is the will of the late emperor, it is natural to listen to the late emperor.If the first emperor let her die, she would not be able to live, let alone continue to be in power.

"If I could, I wouldn't want to go this far with my mother. However, now, I can't stop her."

The emperor said, and said to Xiaoxizi: "Go, take out the imperial decree that was placed behind the plaque."

Xiao Xizi, who was listening to the conversation between the emperor and Jiang Yuanwan, was frightened out of her mind, and subconsciously followed what the emperor said.

He still couldn't recover until his hand touched the imperial decree behind the plaque that had been there for some years.

It turns out that the first emperor actually left such an imperial decree?

For a moment, Xiao Xizi was both dazed and delighted.With this imperial decree, they will be able to bring down the Queen Mother.It would be great if the emperor took out this imperial decree earlier.That way, the emperor might not be so sick...

The emperor took the imperial decree with trembling hands, and handed it to Jiang Yuanwan: "Take this decree to the border and give it to your brother, he will know what to do. It's not that I must use others' hands to get rid of the queen mother, but now , Most of the imperial guards are under the control of the queen mother, and it is simply impossible for her to accept the order obediently."

"If I reveal this imperial decree now, the queen mother will definitely try to destroy it, and then say it is a forgery. Only in the hands of your brother and General Zhuang can it play its greatest role."

"Let Wei Yichen escort you to the border." The emperor added: "He is one of the few people I can fully trust. You should also trust him, right?"

"The queen mother is here, I will try my best to hold her back so that she doesn't have the energy to pay attention to you."

"I'm afraid I don't have much time. I will make your brother the crown prince. You will not only bring the imperial decree to him for me, but you will also bring my heir back to Beijing for me. If the queen mother ...Let General Zhuang..."

Before he finished speaking, the emperor leaned against the head of the bed and fell asleep as if he was extremely tired.

Jiang Yuanwan looked at the emperor's haggard face, and asked Xiao Xizi: "Is...my uncle always like this recently?"

Xiao Xizi wiped away her tears, and said sullenly: "Yes. Although the Emperor is awake and has been taking medicine, but there are still more times when he is unconscious than when he is awake."

How could Xiao Xizi fail to understand that the emperor called Jiang Yuanwan over today to explain the funeral?Thinking of the emperor's kindness to them, Xiao Xizi couldn't help feeling sad.

When Jiang Yuanwan heard the words, she also took a deep look at the emperor. She had a premonition that this was the last time she would meet the emperor.

They haven't gotten along much, and there is no relationship to talk about.However, knowing that such a good person was leaving, and that he was still paving the way for Jiang Yuanwan's brother before he left, Jiang Yuanwan felt a little sad in her heart.

It's better not to be late for this matter, Jiang Yuanwan went back to the Marquis of Changning and talked about it with Wei Yichen, the two hurriedly cleaned up for a while, and then set off with the imperial decree.

Because he wanted to avoid people's eyes and ears, Wei Yichen didn't dare to bring too many people with him, so he only picked seven or eight skilled guards to bring with him, and he disguised himself as a son who was going to visit relatives, and Jiang Yuanwan was his fiancée.

Of course, the seven or eight people were only on the surface, and there were more than ten secret guards protecting the safety of the two of them.These hidden guards did not set off with Jiang Yuanwan and the two of them, they would find ways to catch up to them later by themselves.

With such a long journey, you may encounter bandits on the way, if you don't bring enough people, Wei Yichen won't worry.

Jiang Yuanwan also brought Liu Yun with her. One is that Liu Yun knows martial arts and can protect her safety at critical times. The other is that Liu Yun has stayed at the border for a few years and is familiar with the border. With her, there will be less trouble.

Regardless of the fact that there are only twenty or so of them in this line, except for Jiang Yuanwan, everyone is capable of one against three. If the opponent is a gangster who has not received formal training, even one against ten is no problem.

A group of people soon arrived at the gate of the city, however, they saw officials at the gate of the city checking people one by one.

Liu Yun whispered to Jiang Yuanwan: "A few days ago, the capital was already under martial law."

Wei Yichen often dealt with the Queen Mother's people in the court, and knew more than Liu Yun. He lowered his voice and said: "There must be someone from the Queen Mother here, we need to be careful. However, there is no need to be too scared. After all, the Empress Dowager cannot cover the sky with one hand."

Fortunately, Jiang Yuanwan seldom goes out on weekdays, and no one has seen her appearance. Wei Yichen, who often runs out, is easily overwhelmed, and no one recognizes her.The officers and soldiers at the gate of the city let them go after checking their customs clearance documents.

Jiang Yuanwan saw that the city gate was getting farther and farther away from her, so she let go of her long-hanging heart.

In the evening, the group arrived in Lin County.

After running around for half a day, Jiang Yuanwan was exhausted and listless.

Seeing this, Wei Yichen said: "Let's take a rest at the inn tonight, and then set off tomorrow morning."

Jiang Yuanwan knew that Wei Yichen was taking care of her, so she hurriedly said, "Let's go as soon as possible, and arrive at the border earlier, so that we can completely relax."

People who are in a hurry for eight hundred miles rush back to Beijing to report the news without sleep.Now that she is heading to the border with such an important imperial decree, although it can't be regarded as a [-]-mile rush, it is almost the same.

"Although the matter is urgent, it's not too short of time. Wouldn't it be better for you to hurry on the road after resting, than dragging your tired body? If you push yourself so hard, I'm afraid you haven't gone halfway yet. going to be sick."

Wei Yichen seemed gentle, but actually said forcefully.

He has always indulged Jiang Yuanwan, but now that Jiang Yuanwan wants to forcefully drive away regardless of her body, he will never agree.

"Do you know why the emperor sent you to deliver this edict to your brother instead of sending a secret guard? That's because the emperor doesn't want you to stay in the capital and be controlled by the Empress Dowager Liu, and become the Empress Dowager Liu to shackle your brother." handle."

"The emperor hopes that you brothers and sisters can all be well."

"If you make any mistakes on the way to deliver the imperial decree, it will violate the original intention of the emperor."

"Don't worry, don't think about anything today, just take a good rest. When you have enough energy, we will speed up tomorrow, and it will be the same."

While speaking, the carriage had already driven to the door of an inn.Wei Yichen got out of the car first, then took Jiang Yuanwan's hand with one hand, and protected her waist with the other, and led her out of the car too.

Along the way, Jiang Yuanwan barely ate anything because of her loss of appetite.

As soon as her feet hit the ground, she staggered and fell into Wei Yichen's arms.

Wei Yichen took her head with one hand and her knees with the other, hugged her in his arms, and walked into the inn in such a grand manner.

Liu Yun was stunned, and then followed in.

For some reason, she had a feeling that her existence was superfluous.

Although Liu Yun is Jiang Yuanwan's maid in name, Wei Yichen has personally taken care of Jiang Yuanwan along the way, and never gave her a chance to show off.

Hey, that's all, with such a person who treats the princess sincerely, His Highness must be relieved.

However, if His Highness knew that the baby sister whom he hadn't seen for so many years had been abducted, he probably wouldn't have a good look at Wei Yichen, would he?Liu Yun was thinking wildly.

It wasn't until Wei Yichen put her on the bed that Jiang Yuanwan came back to her senses, and her face turned red all of a sudden.

Wei Yichen said without changing his expression: "You take a rest first, and I'll get you a glass of water. After a while, when the dishes are ready, I'll ask Xiao Er to bring them to the room."

He was about to leave, but Jiang Yuanwan grabbed his sleeve: "Is this inn all right? Why does it seem like we're the only ones staying here?"

The inn is luxuriously decorated and the environment is very comfortable.But Jiang Yuanwan recalled that there was not even a single customer in the hall just now, and the guys lined up in a row, looking at them with fiery eyes, and couldn't help but feel trembling in her heart. They must have entered a black shop, right?

"Oh, don't worry." Wei Yichen said calmly, "This is an inn under my name. I sent someone to say hello to the guys in the store in advance. This inn is only for us these two days."

Jiang Yuanwan: "!!!"

Once again, she felt how proud her lover was.

She usually doesn't show her mountains and dews, but always waits for the critical moment to surprise her.

The food was served quickly, and they were all refreshing side dishes, with some braised meat, no big fish or big meat.

Looking at it, Jiang Yuanwan also gained an appetite.She was about to eat when Wei Yichen took the bowl and chopsticks in front of her, picked up the dish she was staring at just now, and put it to her lips: "Open your mouth."

The shop waiter saw that his immediate boss was condescending to feed a girl in such a condescending manner, with such a gentle look on his face, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Jiang Yuanwan swallowed her saliva, and glanced at the waiter in the shop: "This...no need, I'll do it myself."

In fact, she had already been moved, but in front of the waiter in the shop, she was really embarrassed to let Wei Yichen feed her.

Wei Yichen glanced at the clerk in the shop lightly, and the clerk in the shop was also very winking, so he immediately backed out and closed the door by the way.

Wei Yichen said: "You are not feeling well, let me take care of you. We are lovers now, you should get used to my taking care of you, otherwise, you will be separated from me."

Jiang Yuanwan's willpower was not that firm, and Wei Yichen's gentle voice kept lingering in her ears.Her face was calm, and she had already surrendered in her heart.

"OK then."

Wei Yichen's movements were extremely gentle, he picked up a few chopsticks for Jiang Yuanwan with every dish.For some reason, Jiang Yuanwan felt particularly appetizing, and ate most of these dishes.After eating, Wei Yichen took a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth for her.

"Take a good rest. In the future, you are not allowed to be so polite to me, otherwise, I will be angry."

"I'm not being polite to you..." Jiang Yuanwan stammered, "It's just that I'm not used to being in front of others..."

Wei Yichen laughed and said, "Am I just so shameless? Or are you going to give me a title in the future?"

These words caused Jiang Yuanwan to roll her eyes: "Isn't it just that I'm not used to being intimate with you in front of people? You speak as if I'm a cheating girl!"

Wei Yichen saw that Jiang Yuanwan was no longer as listless as before, and still had the strength to argue with him, the smile on his face deepened: "Okay, I'm wrong, don't bother with me."

In the evening, Jiang Yuanwan took a comfortable bath in the bathtub, put on her clothes and came out, and saw Liu Yun holding two pots of flowers, and placed them by her bedside, she couldn't help wondering, "What are you doing?"

"The crown prince said that the lady is tired from traveling and traveling today, so she should have a good rest tonight. He happens to have two pots of jasmine flowers in his room. Let me bring them to the lady and put them on your bedside."

When Jiang Yuanwan heard this, her expression was slightly warm: "He has a heart."

The supposedly difficult itinerary, with Wei Yichen's care, seemed to be less uncomfortable.

I don't know if it was because of the jasmine in the room, Jiang Yuanwan slept very soundly that day.

Early in the morning of the second day, when the group was about to leave, they heard people talking outside.

"I heard that the emperor has woken up! Guess what the first thing he did when he woke up?"

"It should be to take back the power from the Queen Mother?"

"Wrong! The first thing he did when he woke up was to set up the prince!"

"Prince? The emperor's concubine has just been conceived and hasn't been born yet, so she is about to be made a prince?"

"It's wrong again! The emperor wants to have his own son, but his nephew! It is said that his nephew has a lot of background, he is the eldest son of Emperor Kang Yu, Crown Prince!"

Someone didn't know who the crown prince Kang Yu was, so he proudly introduced the story of the crown prince Kang Yu again.

Wei Yichen looked worriedly at Jiang Yuanwan who was leaning against the carriage, and took her hand, fearing that the chatter of these common people would touch her scar.

Jiang Yuanwan smiled and shook her head at him: "I'm fine."

When that incident just happened, she was really in pain, but time can dilute all the sadness.

Now she is able to listen to the past about her father with a normal heart.

The person who introduced Crown Prince Kang Yu finished his speech with spit, and seeing the expressions of enlightenment on the people around him, he couldn't help feeling a sense of accomplishment in his heart. Among so many people, he knew the most.Although it was hard for him to travel north and south, it was also beneficial.

"The emperor said that he is not feeling well now, so he should have established a crown prince. This throne should belong to his elder brother, Crown Prince Kang Yu, so now, he wants to return the throne to Crown Prince Kang Yu's son!"

"This... Your Majesty is really generous..." Some people said in amazement.

Ordinary brothers would fight over a few acres of land and a few houses, but the emperor was lucky, and he said he would give it back to him when he got the throne?

"I heard that the empress dowager refused to agree, and now she is having a serious fight with the emperor!"

"The empress dowager must want her grandson to inherit the throne, right?"

"But the emperor is not in good health now, if there is something... Could it be possible to let an unborn baby inherit the throne?"

"Isn't there still an empress dowager? I heard that when the emperor was young, the empress dowager always listened to the government behind the curtain."

"Then it's better to let the emperor's nephew ascend the throne! What's the point of listening to a woman? It's fine if the queen mother is capable. When the border was in an emergency, look at what she said... she Is it reliable?"

"It's true what you said. Maybe the Empress Dowager wants to continue to be in power, and that's why she wants a baby to be the crown prince..."

Jiang Yuanwan, Wei Yichen and others did not listen to the next words.They only need to know that the emperor used the establishment of the prince to stumble the conclusion of the queen mother, that's enough.

……

The closer you get to the border, the more desolate the town becomes.

Although Daqi has now won the battle, the burning, killing, looting, and looting of the Beiliang people still had a profound impact on the frontier.

Wei Yichen looked at all this and shook his head: "What a sin Empress Dowager Liu made."

Even if the prejudice of identity and gender is removed, he will never choose a master like Queen Mother Liu.Because Empress Dowager Liu is mercenary and has a very low bottom line, she can sacrifice almost everything in order to seize power.

For such a person, if she is allowed to hold Daqi's authority, it will definitely not be a blessing for Daqi.No matter when, she will put herself first, instead of caring about the development of the country and the suffering of the people.

After arriving at the border, Liu Yun followed Wei Yichen's instructions and went to the barracks to inform General Zhuang and Jiang Lian about Jiang Yuanwan's order to come.If Jiang Yuanwan and his party broke into the barracks without thinking, they might be accidentally injured.

After she left, Wei Yichen found a guide and took himself and Jiang Yuanwan to check the customs at the border.

For Wei Yichen, Jiang Lian's most important identity, besides Jiang Yuanwan's elder brother, is also the future heir apparent.Wei Yichen always wanted to know what kind of person this future crown prince would have in the border.

Wei Yichen had decided to dedicate all his loyalty to the emperor, it was impossible for him to suddenly change the object of allegiance.But Jiang Lian was the emperor's favorite prince, this status was enough to minimize Wei Yichen's resistance.If Jiang Lian was a lord worthy of allegiance, then after he formally succeeded to the throne, Wei Yichen would really be used by him.

"Are you guys from other places?" The old woman who led the way for Jiang Yuanwan and others asked, "Why are you here at this time?"

"We have relatives here. We heard that there was a war here just now. We were worried, so we came to see the recent situation of relatives' homes."

"So that's how it is." The aunt is simple and honest. Hearing what Wei Yichen said, she felt that Wei Yichen was a kind and righteous person, and treated him a little warmly: "We should go and see. We were here to have a good time. Yes, the goddamn Beiliang people ruined everything."

When the aunt said this, there was some hatred in her eyes.

However, Wei Yichen noticed that this aunt's spirit was not bad, and like many people around her, although she was sad because of the departure of her relatives and friends, there was no despair or numbness in her eyes.

This means that General Zhuang handled the aftermath well, and this was able to restore the vitality of the common people so quickly.

"Fortunately, General Zhuang is here, otherwise, these cities would be really dangerous."

"Isn't that right!" The aunt was obviously a supporter of General Zhuang, and after hearing Wei Yichen's words, she immediately introduced Wei Yichen as a confidant: "General Zhuang and Jiang Xiao are really wonderful people. Not to mention driving those bastards back, we also took a lot of spoils from them and distributed them to our common people. We are really lucky to have them here."

Wei Yichen pretended to be puzzled: "I know General Zhuang, but who is this Little General Jiang?"

"You don't even know Little General Jiang? Little General Jiang is the one who raided the Beiliang barracks and helped us snatch food and grass back from the Beiliang army! If there was no Little General Jiang around, the people of Beiliang wouldn't be defeated so quickly That!" Auntie obviously admired Jiang Lian a lot: "The matter of distributing some of the plundered food to our common people was also proposed by General Jiang to General Chu. If the two generals didn't care about our common people, we might have Starving to death. They are our great benefactors!"

After speaking, the aunt told Wei Yichen and Jiang Yuanwan: "You must not be disrespectful to the two generals, otherwise, you may be drowned by spit stars!"

Jiang Yuanwan really didn't expect her brother to be so good at the border and to be loved and respected by the people.Hearing this aunt praise her brother, she felt very honored in her heart.

Wei Yichen asked: "It seems that this little general Jiang is really a great person, don't worry, ma'am, it's too late for us to admire such heroes who protect our home and country, how can we disrespect them!"

The words coaxed the aunt to smile, and told the two more things related to General Zhuang and Jiang Lian.

"By the way, ma'am, I heard that people from Beiliang trampled on a lot of fields when they invaded, and I was very worried. This land is the lifeblood of our common people. I wonder how your family is doing now?"

"It's okay. The fields in my house were also ruined by people from Beiliang, but General Zhuang encouraged us to open up wasteland, and we didn't need to pay for the first three years. Now we have turned over the land and the seeds are gone. It’s been planted, and it’s just waiting to germinate.” The aunt’s face was full of smiles, and her eyes were full of expectations for future life: “I heard that this was suggested by General Jiang to General Zhuang, and General Jiang is really a good person. We didn't have grain seeds to grow at first, but he personally sent us grain seeds..."

After hearing these words, Wei Yichen felt a little more in his mind.

It seems that this General Zhuang himself did not take credit for it, but respected Jiang Lian everywhere, building momentum for Jiang Lian without any trace.

The aunt took Wei Yichen and Jiang Yuanwan to wander the streets for half a day, and told them a lot of information.Later, Jiang Lian gave her an extra string of copper coins as a reward, which made the aunt smile with joy.

The auntie felt a little sorry for accepting Wei Yichen's benefits, so she warmly invited Wei Yichen and Jiang Yuanwan to her house as guests: "Although our house doesn't have much good things, let's do our part as landlords. Treat you and the person next to you..."

The aunt looked at Jiang Yuanwan, not knowing what to call her for a while.

Wei Yichen's lips curled up: "This is my fiancee."

"Oh, oh. Let's entertain you and your lady." The aunt winked at Wei Yichen for a while. It's great that the young man can find such a young lady for himself: "My old man knows a lot of things. , then you can sit down and let him tell you slowly..."

Along the way, Wei Yichen didn't miss any chance to show off his relationship with Jiang Yuanwan.

Jiang Yuanwan was a little embarrassed at first, but now she is used to it.When she heard the aunt say that she was Wei Yichen's wife, she still felt a little sweet in her heart.

But at this moment, Wei Yichen heard an angry voice above his head: "Who do you say is your fiancee?"

Wei Yichen looked up, and saw a young general in silver armor standing in front of him, full of evil spirits.

Not far from this general, stood the maidservant Liu Yun.

The aunt looked at the general who suddenly appeared in disbelief, and suddenly shouted excitedly: "This, isn't this little general Jiang?"

"Little General Jiang is really a good person. He helped us a lot a few days ago, and he came to see us again today!"

"Little General Jiang, this is a vegetable grown by our family. Although it is not worth anything, it is our kindness. You must accept it!"

"Also, these are the eggs laid by our ducks. I specially saved a few eggs and gave them to General Jiang to nourish himself!"

"And our goose eggs..."

Obviously he came to question a certain apprentice who took advantage of his sister, but the people surrounded Jiang Lian in a watertight way: "..."

Wei Yichen snickered at the side, it seems that his future eldest brother-in-law is really very popular among the common people.

After finally dealing with the enthusiastic people, Jiang Lian, who walked up to Wei Yichen again, was still frowning, but his aura was greatly reduced compared to when they first met: "Boy, you just said, who said you fiancée?"

"I said, your sister is my fiancée. We have been in the capital for these years, and we have a very close relationship. My father has already agreed to the matter between us. I just wait for the nod from you, brother-in-law."

Facts have proved that Wei Yichen is still very shameless at certain times.The fact that he directly called Jiang Lian the eldest uncle almost made Jiang Lian angry.

Soon, Wei Yichen paid the price for his recklessness - he was pressed down and beaten by Jiang Lian.

Jiang Lian's strikes are very measured, not hurting any muscles or bones, but can actually make Wei Yichen feel pain.

"Next time, talk nonsense again, and I will beat you every time I see you!"

He missed his sister for so many years in his heart!She was about to be snatched away as soon as they met!It's impossible to keep him from getting angry.

Before he nodded, Wei Yichen must not claim to be his brother-in-law!His sister is not so easy to marry!

"Okay, uncle. Next time, I will definitely pay attention to the way I speak, and try not to make you angry." Wei Yichen can be said to be a typical example of actively admitting mistakes and never repenting.When he opened his mouth, Jiang Lian was almost so angry that he hit someone again.

Still, Jiang Yuanwan, who was on the side, couldn't see it.
