Jiang Yimian then understood why Lu Cijian had returned alone; the timing was perfect, helping her to stabilize the city's garrison and successfully buy some time.
Otherwise, they would have been captured by those people long ago, and there would have been no chance for them to wait for the Southern Guards.
Zhang Shan was taken aback. Was it the sound of the Southern Guards' bugle?
On the way to Yuncheng Prefecture, just over half an hour ago, the sentry blew the horn, which was originally meant to signal to the Southern Guards that they were not far from the city gate.
Unexpectedly, Lu Cijian overheard them and guessed that they would soon be able to enter the city.
At that time, the main force was still dozens of miles away from the city gate. Given that distance, plus the heavy rain, it should have been very difficult to hear them.
These two are truly remarkable. Even if he hadn't arrived in time, they would have been able to devise a way to resolve today's crisis.
Just then, they heard another rapid hoofbeats coming from outside the yamen.
Zhang Shan quickly said, "I reckon it's the Princess and her entourage. I'll go out and take a look."
After saying that, he headed out of the yamen.
Seeing this, Jiang Yimian was about to follow when Lu Cijian grabbed her wrist.
She was taken aback, and asked with some confusion, "What's wrong?"
Lu Cijian frowned and stared at her wet clothes, saying, "Go change your clothes first."
I was soaked in the rain for too long, and if I don't change my clothes soon, I'm afraid I'll get sick.
Jiang Yimian then belatedly realized that her clothes were wet and somewhat uncomfortable.
I was so focused on dealing with those Xiliang people that I didn't feel anything until I relaxed and realized how cold it really was.
After they changed their clothes, they left the government office together.
Zhang Shan was talking to a tall man next to the carriage.
The other person's voice was calm, with a hint of familiarity, "It's good that General Wei is alright. My injury is not serious."
Zhang Shan was relieved. When he saw Jiang Yimian and the other woman come out, he quickly waved and said, "Qingyuan, these are the Lord Lu and Miss Jiang I was talking about. If it weren't for them, General Wei would probably be in grave danger."
Upon returning to Beijing, he was determined to submit a memorial to the Emperor regarding the Qingnan matter.
Both Miss Jiang and Lu Cijian deserve credit for their contributions.
Jiang Qingyuan turned around to look at the two of them. When his gaze fell on Jiang Yimian's face, a strange sense of familiarity welled up in his heart. That feeling made him pause, but he couldn't remember where he had seen this person before.
After a while, he looked away and said earnestly to the two of them, "Thank you, Lord Lu and this young lady."
The man wore a simple robe, his hair tied up high, yet he couldn't hide the murderous aura emanating from him. However, his face was exceptionally handsome and refined, which seemed somewhat out of place with his overall demeanor, but it added a touch of approachability to him, making him less distant.
Lu Cijian returned the greeting, but when he turned his head, he saw Jiang Yimian staring blankly at Jiang Qingyuan without saying a word.
Just as they were wondering what was going on, they heard Jiang Yimian's slightly excited voice, "Big brother, you're not dead! That's great! I knew you'd be alright. If Mom and Dad knew you were still alive, they would be so happy."
After searching for Jiang Qingyuan for so long, I never expected that he would become someone close to Wei Jinghai.
No wonder neither she nor Lu Cijian could find him; it turns out he had been on the battlefield for over a year.
Jiang Qingyuan was somewhat stunned, staring at the person in front of him for a while before politely saying, "You've mistaken me for someone else, I don't know you."
He didn't remember this person at all, but he felt that the person was somewhat familiar.
Before he could think it through, a sharp pain shot through his head, almost making him faint.
Zhang Shan quickly stepped forward to support him, saying worriedly, "What's wrong? Your headache is acting up again. I'll go get a doctor for you. How come you suddenly have a headache again? That's really strange."
Jiang Qingyuan simply waved his hand, covered his forehead, and rested for a while before weakly saying, "I'm fine, it's just an old ailment."
Jiang Yimian stepped forward, grabbed Jiang Qingyuan's hand, took his pulse, and confirmed that he was only weak due to injury before saying, "Your pulse is normal, there's nothing seriously wrong."
As for the headache, have you ever injured your head before?
Jiang Qingyuan remained silent.
Zhang Shan, who was standing nearby, quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes. When Qingyuan first went to the battlefield, he was seriously injured. He still has this long gash on his head and the scar is still there. Fortunately, he survived."
According to those who knew Jiang Qingyuan well, he almost died back then, but fortunately he survived.
In just one year, he distinguished himself in numerous battles and became a deputy general, with a promising future ahead of him.
He was envious of it all.
Jiang Yimian nodded, and after looking at the person in front of her for a while, she was sure that the person in front of her was Jiang Qingyuan, who was also her brother in this body.
Although he looked somewhat different from his previous frail scholar appearance, his facial features hadn't changed much, especially his eyes, which were exactly the same as Wang Fengqin's.
If this person doesn't recognize her now, there's only one possibility: they've lost their memory.
No wonder there was no news for over a year; this makes sense. If they hadn't lost their memory and didn't remember them, why wouldn't they have written back?
Thinking it over, she simply said, "Big brother, you may have lost your memory. I really am your sister."
If their parents knew that their brother had lost his memory and didn't remember any of them, they would surely be heartbroken.
Jiang Qingyuan frowned, stared at Jiang Yimian for a long time, and then said seriously, "I don't have a younger sister."
Jiang Yimian felt somewhat helpless and didn't continue to persuade him.
Sometimes, people with amnesia don't lose their memories, but rather experience confusion, which may involve other people's experiences.
Fortunately, Jiang Qingyuan is still alive. As long as he's alive, that's good.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Zhang Shan quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, saying with a smile, "Miss Jiang, you must have mistaken me for someone else."
"How could Deputy General Jiang be your elder brother? We've never heard of him before."
Come to think of it, they never seemed to have heard Jiang Qingyuan mention his family. He never participated in their conversations, but simply silently polished his sword.
At that time, he only thought that Jiang Qingyuan's family members were all gone, but now, looking at Jiang Yimian and Jiang Qingyuan, he felt that the two had some similarities in their eyes and brows.
If they were family members, there's a good chance they were.
But Jiang Qingyuan simply doesn't remember.
Jiang Yimian just smiled and didn't continue the topic.
It's good that Jiang Qingyuan is alive. Compared to the other party losing his life on the battlefield, amnesia is a trivial matter.
She looked only at the person inside the carriage and said with a smile, "Princess."
Xie Yu was startled. He cleared his throat and poked his head out of the carriage, smiling as he said, "Yi Mian, it's been a long time."
She thought she had overheard some earth-shattering secret and didn't dare get off the carriage for a moment. Little did she know that Jiang Yimian had seen her early on.
She reached out, gesturing for someone by the carriage to help her down, but Jiang Qingyuan pretended not to see it and silently stepped aside, avoiding her hand.
