Aguzan glanced at him and sneered, "What does it matter to the Great Jin royal family who I want to take away?"
His initial intention to kidnap Jiang Yimian stemmed from his displeasure with Xie Jingxuan and Lu Cijian's schemes against him, and he wanted to cause them trouble.
Now he is genuinely interested in Jiang Yimian.
This woman has too many secrets; he needs to take a good look at her.
When he brought the other person onto the ship, a maid searched him and took away all the sharp weapons. But when he got close, the person suddenly pulled out a dagger out of thin air, which really surprised him.
Also, during the duel with Tu Kun at the Yan Archery Banquet, if he wasn't mistaken, Jiang Yimian disappeared for a moment.
At the time, I just thought I was seeing things, but now...
He glanced down at the dagger in his hand and merely raised an eyebrow.
Since this person can conjure a dagger out of thin air, his sudden disappearance at the banquet is not impossible.
Giving such an interesting person with hidden secrets to Lu Cijian is far too good for him.
Whether it works or not, we have to try. He didn't believe that the Great Jin would break ties with him over a woman.
Now that Lu Cijian is seriously injured and it's uncertain whether he will wake up, if he doesn't take this opportunity to exploit the situation, when will he?
By the time Lu Cijian realized what was happening, Jiang Yimian might have already fallen for someone else.
Yi Tu was stunned, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself. In the end, he kept quiet, but when his gaze fell on Aguzan's chest, he frowned and said, "The prince is injured."
Aguzan was startled and looked down at the clothes on his chest, where his white undergarment was stained with specks of crimson.
If it weren't for the fact that the outer garment was black, it would have been discovered long ago.
He was taken aback, then smiled. This person was really strong; even after being drugged, he could still hurt him. He was indeed formidable.
Thinking of something, he said seriously, "This time, Xiliang suffered heavy losses in Weizhou, and they should not dare to attack Tuyuhun again in the short term."
But the spies over there can't let their guard down; they must keep a close watch on that group. Especially Xie Yang's whereabouts—they must find out everything.
Yi Tu quickly and respectfully responded.
The ship had been adrift at sea for almost half a month before finally reaching the shore one morning.
When Jiang Yimian was helped out of the cabin by two maids, she felt that her weakness was better than in the previous days, but she still felt weak all over, as if she were walking on cotton.
These past few days in the cabin, she finally understood what Aguzan meant by not eating random things.
She simply wanted to test if the antidote pills in her space would work, but unexpectedly, the effects of the secret medicine seemed to be enhanced, making her body even weaker, and she even found it difficult to lift her hand.
It took her almost five days to recover before she could barely sit up in bed.
No wonder she and Lin Yan'an saw results so quickly back then.
The medicinal scent in Lu Cijian's room enhanced the secret medicine, allowing the medicine on the flower to quickly enter their bodies.
So much so that before they could even react, they had already been infected.
She made a note of this debt.
Once she regains her strength, she will definitely not let Aguzan off easily.
Seemingly sensing her murderous gaze, Aguzan merely raised an eyebrow, lowered his voice, and whispered in her ear, "Princess, don't give yourself away. We are now siblings, not enemies."
Use your feelings for Lu Cijian, otherwise, none of us will escape.
The man spoke earnestly, yet his eyes held a keen interest, tinged with anticipation, as if curious about how Jiang Yimian would treat him.
If he weren't afraid Jiang Yimian would turn on him on the spot, he would have definitely pretended to be her husband.
Jiang Yimian just sneered and kicked the other person directly, saying, "Brother, you're blocking my way."
Aguzan was only slightly staggered by the kick, and when he turned around, he saw that Jiang Yimian was already being helped by a maid to walk down the boat.
He glanced at the footprints on his legs, smiled, said nothing more, and followed them.
A long queue had already formed at the dock, surrounded by Tuyuhun soldiers patrolling densely, seemingly searching for someone. They rigorously questioned everyone trying to enter the city.
Jiang Yimian and her group were at the end of the line, surrounded by a cacophony of sounds, creating a lively atmosphere.
But when her gaze fell on the Tuyuhun soldiers at the front, she couldn't help but frown and looked at the people behind her, saying, "This shouldn't be Tuyuhun territory yet, so why are there so many Tuyuhun soldiers? Are they here specifically to arrest you?"
Aguzan glanced at the soldiers in front of him, his eyes flashing. "It's probably true. The news of Xie Yang's defeat must have already reached Tuyuhun. My brother is naturally worried that I'm not dead and might come back at any time, so he can only order people to interrogate me strictly at various checkpoints."
It seems that the situation in Tuyuhun is worse than he thought.
At the very least, it would be quite difficult for him to return to the capital of Tuyuhun quietly and safely.
Yi Tu and his group were now on full alert, ready to be discovered at any moment.
Jiang Yimian was looking around.
Most of the people queuing around were Tuyuhun people, with only a small number being from the Jin Dynasty.
Spring City is located at the border of the Great Jin and Tuyuhun, but it does not belong to either side.
However, due to the open-mindedness of the local people, most of those who come here are vicious criminals. Unless they are people from the Great Jin who live here permanently, or wanted criminals from the Great Jin, ordinary people from the Great Jin will avoid Chuncheng.
The fact that the Lord of Chuncheng allows the Tuyuhun soldiers to conduct a thorough search in this area suggests that he has likely received considerable benefits from Tuyuhun.
A burly man with a full beard in front of her glanced at her before asking curiously, "Are you from the Great Jin Dynasty, young lady?"
Jiang Yimian glanced at him before nodding.
Seeing this, the burly man quickly patted the woman in front of him: "Hey, Ninth Sister, this girl is from the Great Jin Dynasty. Didn't you want to know how your hometown is? Why don't you ask her?"
Upon hearing this, the woman called Jiu Niang quickly pushed the burly man aside, swayed her slender waist, and stood in front of Jiang Yimian, smiling as she asked, "Little girl, have you ever been to Qingnan?"
The woman was extremely tall, and her simple dress was pleasing to the eye. Her charming figure attracted the attention of many people nearby, making her the focus of everyone's attention.
Jiang Yimian simply nodded.
Aguzan and the others looked at Jiu Niang with wary expressions.
Seeing this, Jiu Niang simply smiled charmingly, "What, is this young master interested in Jiu Niang?"
As she spoke, she reached out her hand to Aguzan.
However, before the hand could touch anyone, it was stopped by a picture taken from the side.
Jiu Niang just smiled, gave Aguzan a flirtatious wink, and then turned her gaze back to Jiang Yimian. "Little girl, how is Qingnan doing now?"
I've heard that there are floods there every year, causing countless deaths and injuries. Is it still happening now?
It's been ten years since she last went back. The last time she heard news of Qingnan was because of the floods.
However, it is good news, though it's unclear whether it's true or not.
