Young Master Wan replied: "I am here to surrender this time. I am willing to present the city defense map of Longyuan Kingdom to Your Majesty. I only ask for an official position in Wushuang Kingdom and live a stable life."
Lord Fu didn't believe it. "Are you willing to surrender like this? Haven't you always wanted to avenge your father?"
Young Master Wan replied sternly, "I did want to avenge my father before, but I later learned that it was Master Hou who saved my father during the natural disaster. If it weren't for Master Hou, he would have died long ago and would not have survived the natural disaster."
This is true. Without Chu Chenyin and the Hou family, the old emperor and Prime Minister Wan would have died in the ice disaster long ago.
Although they both received the consequences they deserved later, they also lived a few more years thanks to the Fu family.
However, Lord Fu was not so easy to believe what Master Wan said.
"It was you, the Wan family, who forced our Fu family into a desperate situation. You can't blame us."
Lord Fu said sternly.
Young Master Wan lowered his head and said nothing.
Lord Fu did not intend to let him go just like that, and ordered the servants around him to lock him up in a palace.
After locking up Master Wan, Lord Fu immediately found Fu Yanting to discuss the matter.
Fu Yanting immediately guessed what Young Master Wan was thinking. He smiled and said, "Dad, if he wants to be an official, just let him be one. Doesn't our Jiezhou have no officials yet?"
Lord Fu said, "Jiezhou is a cold place and far from Lin'an. I'm afraid we will suffer if we go there."
He just wanted to drive Young Master Wan away.
Fu Yanting said: "That place is most suitable as a prison."
"Dad, since he came to find you alone with the letter of surrender, he must have made sufficient preparations."
Lord Fu raised his eyes and said, "Prepare? What preparation?"
Fu Yanting glanced at the door. "He came here openly, and behind him are tens of thousands of Longyuan people. If we kill him in public, those people will definitely be seduced by his cronies and turn against us, and it will be difficult for us to win them back."
"It would be better to send him to Jiezhou and let him fend for himself."
After hearing this, Lord Fu thought it made sense, and after thinking for a while, he replied, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
The next day, Lord Fu summoned Master Wan again, accepted his letter of surrender, and appointed him to a minor official position, asking him to go to Jiezhou on a day of his choice.
Young Master Wan was not surprised and obediently accepted the imperial edict.
However, it would take a few more days to reach Jiezhou. During these days, Young Master Wan secretly abducted Chu Chenyin when she left the palace one day.
"Chu Chenyin."
Master Wan called out to her.
Chu Chenyin turned around and was not surprised to see him.
"Master Wan, have you come all the way to Lin'an City just to look for me?"
Master Wan said excitedly: "I want to ask you in person, were you the one who saved me back then?" This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
