Chapter 406 Soul and Body
"Well, if you want to go back and have a look, that's a good thing. I haven't been back for so many years...
Now that the court in Shengkang City is unstable, it is a bit dangerous to stay here after your identity is revealed.
Go back to Yue Country and stay for a while. Maybe after everything calms down, we will go to Yue Country to find you."
Su Manrong nodded happily, thinking that it would indeed be inappropriate for Ajiang to stay in Qianzhou City after today.
After all, the Yue Army and the Shengkang Kingdom are at war, and someone with bad intentions wants to take advantage of A Jiang and threaten A Jiang's life.
In addition, Shengkang Kingdom is surrounded by enemies from both sides and is in constant natural disasters. The temperature in Yue Kingdom is just a little lower, so it is not already flooded, and life is definitely better than that of the people in Shengkang Kingdom.
So Su Manrong thought that if Ajiang went back with the king of Yue State at this time, he could also give some face to the Yue army, deepen the relationship between the two brothers, and save the people of Qianzhou from war. It was really a matter of killing two birds with one stone.
.
However, before Yue Jun could react, the dust in the sky not far away swept over again.
The army led by Xiao Chengxian and Ling Yi was galloping towards the gate of Qianzhou City.
After the army settled down, the Yue army and King Cheng's soldiers were stationed on the east and west sides of the city gate respectively, using the city gate as the boundary. They all held swords and were ready to fight at any time.
Among the crowd, Xiao Chengxian was wearing armor, holding a long blade, and his cape was dancing in the wind. He looked so handsome.
He rode his horse forward, staring at Su Manrong who was wearing a green steel helmet on the city wall. Seeing her dressed up like this and lying on the city wall with a wink, the solemn look on her face instantly turned into a doting smile.
Su Manrong, who was on the city wall, burst into laughter when she saw Xiao Chengxian, whom she had not seen for a long time. She took off the infrared ray from her pistol and shined it at Xiao Chengxian.ωωw..net
"Don't mess around." Xiao Chengxian shook his head fondly and reminded Su Manrong with his mouth.
"..." Su Manrong held an infrared ray and outlined a few letters on the armor on his chest.
Although Xiao Chengxian mastered the Chinese Pinyin, he did not quite understand the meaning of the letters drawn by Su Manrong.
"He Hongwen, the governor of Guizhou, kowtows to King Cheng." Upon seeing this, the governor climbed up to the city gate and faced the direction of Chengzhou City to express his gratitude.
"Your Majesty, you are not too polite. Your Highness, King Cheng, cares about the people of Qianzhou. He specially ordered us to lead five thousand light troops to protect the safety of Qianzhou. At this time, there are three thousand personal soldiers who will arrive soon. Please appease the people."
King Cheng's personal soldiers and generals bowed their hands, and while speaking, they looked at Yue Jun very arrogantly.
"There's a misunderstanding. I want to thank His Highness Prince Cheng for his concern on behalf of the refugees in Chengzhou. Prince Cheng has saved countless refugees by giving him porridge and rice." Master Zhizhou also bowed his head and laughed: "It's just that General Ma has something wrong.
I know that the King of Yue State has come to Qianzhou City to pick up the hostages of Yue State who were forcibly detained by Emperor Shengkang. We have already discussed it. The Yue Army will rest outside the city gate for the night and return to Yue State tomorrow through the young prince."
Lord Zhizhou also wanted to avoid war as much as possible, even if King Cheng's personal soldiers numbered 5,000, they were enough to crush the Yue army.
But if war can be avoided, these soldiers can go home as soon as possible and reunite with their families.
General Ma looked at Xiao Chengxian on the horse in confusion when he heard this. No one else knew it, but he understood it.
His Highness King Cheng has already donated Qianzhou City to Mr. Xiao’s wife. At this time, King Cheng is sorting out the remnants of Emperor Sheng Kang in the Holy Capital City. The edict of Qianzhou’s independence will be sent here soon.
Young Master Xiao had meritorious service in helping King Cheng ascend the throne, but he did not want any rights or positions. Mrs. Xiao was the mentor of King Cheng's legitimate son, who cured his old illness for several years.
Therefore, His Highness Prince Cheng donated this place to Mrs. Xiao, which was regarded as giving an explanation to Mr. Xiao.
"Then we really misunderstood Yue Jun." Xiao Chengxian curled his lips and smiled, glancing at Nie Jiangshe, whose brows were glowing red, with an evil look on his face.
It seems that his wife played a major role in the development of things so peacefully. I originally thought that when they arrived, the gate of Qianzhou City would be broken down and the people would have nowhere to hide...
But they didn't expect that they could successfully delay Yue Jun's time. It must be those sniper rifles that shocked Yue Jun, right?
"That being the case, our army will set up camp here so that we can send the King of Yue State and the Prince back to the country as soon as possible tomorrow."
General Ma is a military general after all. I don't know how to arrange it at this time. All this is too easy. There are so many people in the Yue Kingdom army. Is it as simple as just coming to pick up the young prince?
He still needs to uphold the Ming Dynasty and become the king.
"Since the people in Qianzhou are affected by natural disasters and have a shortage of food and grass, we won't bother you too much." General Yuejun exchanged a few words with Nie Jiangshe in a low voice, then climbed up again and stood, facing Prince Cheng's soldiers and the people on the city gate.
The soldiers of Qianzhou shouted: "We will set off immediately to return to the state of Yue. We also ask Master Zhizhou to deliver the prince safely outside the city gate."
As soon as General Yue finished speaking, the cheek under the green steel helmet on the city wall instantly felt a little disappointed.
She originally thought she would have one night to say goodbye to Ajiang. After all, the sky is high and the water is far away. After saying goodbye this time, there is no telling when the next meeting will be.
Her previous words were used to comfort Ajiang, but now that they were really about to break up, she felt that the next meeting would be a long time away.
"Then please brother and all the soldiers, please wait a moment."
A Jiang looked under the city wall, looked at Nie Jiangshe for a moment, then bowed politely, turned and walked towards Su Manrong.
The two siblings quickly walked down the Qianzhou City Wall and went to the Prisoner's Village to pack Ajiang's things. They also had to say goodbye to Ajiang, Nanny Fu Bo, and his two sisters.
"Ah Jiang, do you still remember what I said before? If you want to get rich, you must first build roads.
If the road is built, it will not be a problem to travel from south to north in the future. Qianzhou walked south to a city and reached the junction with Yue State.
I want to use the profits from those silver mines to build roads. It will be more convenient to travel to Yue State in the future."
Su Manrong didn't want to say those sad words, so he assigned some tasks to Ajiang. After all, after Ajiang returned to Yue Kingdom, he was a prince, and he was also a person who was inferior to ten thousand people.
There must be many officials paying attention to A Jiang's every word and deed. If he can put forward constructive suggestions for the development of Yue State, he will be able to convince the public and the brotherhood between him and Nie Jiangshe will last longer.
"Sister, I remember."
Ajiang nodded and said: "Education is the foundation of a country, and only the machinery industry can strengthen the country."
These contents were all taught by Su Manrong in the private school class. Perhaps the common people listened but did not understand the meaning.
But he understood Su Manrong's intention, and even more understood what she meant by simplifying the complex and putting the people first.
