Chapter 793 Lure the snake out of its hole
"Mrs. Wang's brother has confessed."
Jiang Wan patted the old lady's shoulder gently and said, "As long as we find the place, the stolen silver can be recovered soon."
"really?"
The old lady's eyes sparkled, and Jiang Wan nodded affirmatively, "Hush, we won't feel at ease until the stolen silver is put into the warehouse.
So this matter cannot be told to anyone yet, please bear with me, Auntie."
"I know I know."
The old lady seemed to know a huge secret, with hidden joy in her eyes. Jiang Wan entered the government office carrying a food box, hiding her achievements and fame.
When Jiang Wan arrived, Song Jiuyuan was reading the letter from the new emperor, holding a sword in his hand.
"This sword is pretty good."
"It was given to me by the new emperor."
Song Jiuyuan was in a good mood, with the corners of his mouth curled up wildly, "When the sword is unsheathed, it's like meeting the emperor.
He gave full authority to handle this matter, and in addition..."
Song Jiuyuan smiled mysteriously, "Guess who he sent?"
"who?"
Jiang Wan was really curious. Judging from Song Jiuyuan's expression, could it be that he knew that person?
"Wanwan, it's uncle."
A hearty voice came over, the voice came before the person arrived, and soon, Jiang Wan saw General Xu coming in, exhausted.
Perhaps he came here at full speed, because Jiang Wan noticed that he looked haggard, but his eyes were still bright.
"uncle!"
Jiang Wan was indeed very surprised. She trotted over to General Xu and asked, "How are my aunt and the others?"
"Everything is fine."
General Xu looked at her and Song Jiuyuan with satisfaction, "This time, it was thanks to your vigilance.
If we give that person a chance to grow, I'm afraid it will affect the Dafeng state."
"We are all Dafeng people, and this is what we should do."
Jiang Wan carried the food box and walked quickly to a large table not far away. She turned her back to Song Jiuyuan and the others for fear of being seen.
Then he reached into the food box and added another bowl of soup and a portion of rice.
Fortunately, she usually has the habit of storing cooked food in her space, otherwise she wouldn’t be able to take it out.
"I just made some food, uncle, please eat quickly."
"Okay."
General Xu had missed the food that Jiang Wan had made terribly, and his pace was very quick.
Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan sat side by side, General Xu sat opposite them, Jiang Wan said apologetically:
"I didn't know my uncle was coming, so there might not be enough food."
That was the portion for her and Song Jiuyuan. Even if a little bit was added secretly, it would definitely not be enough for two grown men.
"It's okay. I've asked someone to prepare some food."
Song Jiuyuan's eyes fell on the three bowls of rice, his dark eyes darkened, and Jiang Wan placed a bowl of rice in front of General Xu.
"I was afraid that the prince would not have enough to eat, so I brought an extra portion of rice."
"Yes, I usually eat a lot."
Song Jiuyuan picked up the chopsticks and everyone was enjoying the meal. In the middle, Song Yi even brought in another dish.
"Your mother has never touched housework since she was a child. I still remember that she almost blew up the kitchen while cooking.
You are completely different from her in this respect. After your uncle has eaten it, he still wants to eat more."
After finishing his meal, General Xu held his stomach with sighs, which made Jiang Wan shudder with fear. She almost forgot that he was the person who knew the original owner's mother best.
"After my mother passed away, I often went hungry at home, so I cooked whatever I could get, and gradually developed a pretty good cooking skill."
Jiang Wan made up an excuse, and Song Jiuyuan smiled and held her hand, "Yes, Wanwan still can't change this habit after getting married.
I asked her not to cook, but she said she liked watching us eat.”
For some reason, Jiang Wan always had the illusion that Song Jiuyuan was deliberately covering for her. At least General Xu didn't doubt it at this moment.
"It's your uncle who is sorry for you, and I don't know that your father..., ah!"
Everyone understood what was left unsaid, Jiang Wan waved her hand casually, "Uncle, it's all in the past.
I forgot about it a long time ago, but you have to be careful this time. That person is such a big target, I'm afraid he won't give up easily."
"I know."
General Xu looked at Jiang Wan with concern, "Go back to the inn and have a good rest. Leave this to us."
"I want to be with you."
Jiang Wan has the ability to protect herself and can use her supernatural powers at critical moments. General Xu frowned, obviously disagreeing.
"Okay, you can't leave my sight."
Song Jiuyuan agreed directly, which made General Xu quite dissatisfied. "How could you take Wanwan, a girl, with you on such a dangerous mission?"
"General, you may not know that Wanwan is very capable. She will not be a drag and can even help us."
Song Jiuyuan would have tried to stop Jiang Wan in the past, but now he has figured it out. As long as Wanwan wants something, he will not refuse it within a reasonable range.
Since Song Jiuyuan had said so, General Xu couldn't insist on it. He just repeatedly told Jiang Wan to pay more attention to safety.
Jiang Wan naturally agreed to this.
"Wanwan, it's still early, you should rest for a while."
Song Jiuyuan took Jiang Wan to rest in the house temporarily allocated to him by the county government, and Jiang Wan would naturally not refuse.
The two of them lay down with their clothes on until the middle of the night when Song Yi hurried over.
"Your Majesty, someone entered the cell and took Qin Yu away."
"I understand, my king."
Song Jiuyuan was reluctant to wake Jiang Wan up, but when he turned around, Jiang Wan had already straightened her clothes.
The weather was cold, and Song Jiuyuan was worried that Jiang Wan would catch a cold, so he specially took out a coat for her to put on.
"Take the whip I gave you."
"Um."
In front of Song Jiuyuan, Jiang Wan hid hidden weapons and silver needles in her sleeves, and also put a few packets of medicine powder.
When the two hurried out, they happened to meet General Xu.
Song Er followed in front, making marks along the way. Jiang Wan and his men had more people and a large target, so they wouldn't alert the enemy.
Following the marks all the way, General Xu was surprised to find that Jiang Wan, despite her petite appearance, had not fallen behind at all.
Even more closely than he followed her, and only then did he completely believe what Song Jiuyuan said about Jiang Wan being capable.
But he soon thought of his sister, and a sense of guilt rose up again. It was all because of him.
Otherwise, how could a little girl like Wanwan become so powerful?
Soon, they were out of the city. Fortunately, the place chosen by the other party was not far away. Soon, Jiang Wan and the others vaguely saw candlelight in a thatched hut not far away.
Song Er also hurried back, "Your Majesty, they are meeting up ahead."
"Did Qin Yu make any gestures?"
Song Jiuyuan and Qin Yu had agreed that they had to see the person behind the scenes before making gestures, otherwise all their efforts would be in vain.
“Not yet.”
Song Er frowned, "There aren't many people in the room, so I can't see clearly. There are people guarding next to them."
"Keep watching."
Song Jiuyuan waved his hand, and Song Er quickly disappeared in front of them. General Xu made a gesture, and the soldiers he brought quietly hid in the dark.
"It seems that he is quite patient."
Jiang Wan narrowed her eyes dangerously, but given the current situation, she didn't believe that the other party would not show up.
