Chapter 243 Looks like a human?
Xiangying was surprised: "Ah Ren? Why are you here?"
Ah Ren waved his hand, signaling the man who brought Xiangying here: "You should step back first and go guard the door."
"Yes." After the man left, Xiangying took two steps forward.
Ah Ren quickly raised his hand to stop her: "Sister, don't come near me, I have an epidemic."
Xiangying was shocked: "They said you escaped from the arena by yourself. How could you be so stupid? There are people suffering from the plague outside. Why don't you wait until the snow stops before leaving White City?"
Ren pursed his lips, "I specifically infiltrated them."
After listening to what A-ren said, Xiangying finally understood what this kid was up to!
He was trying to save her.
Ah Ren saw Xiangying being taken away by the Sixth Prince's men and locked up in a granary. He knew that the Sixth Prince was most likely going to let Jie Chen and Xiangying die in there.
He was too weak, powerless and had no one to turn to.
Bu Feng, the only one who had a say, did not dare to protest due to his status as the Sixth Prince.
Ah Ren thought of a solution overnight.
The only ones he could use were those sick people.
So he escaped, sneaked into these courtyards, and told them that the Sixth Prince had ordered them to be burned to death.
Of course the people are unwilling to do so. After all, who wants to die?
It was already painful enough without any medicine, and now they were burned to death. Under A-Ren's instigation, they decided to resist and fight to the death.
Ah Ren said solemnly, "I told them that they would die anyway, so instead of waiting, they might as well break out."
Xiangying was surprised: "Before they got sick, these people were all honest people. How dare they rebel?"
Ah Ren smiled: "Sister, you have never been hungry, so you may not know how crazy food can drive people."
"When I left, I took two bags of millet with me. As long as they were given something to eat, they were willing to work for me. Moreover, my reason was for their own good. These people had no choice but to follow me."
Xiangying stared at him in a daze.
"But Ah Ren, you can only take advantage of this temporarily. When the snow stops, the imperial court will send soldiers to come, and you will be in danger!"
"Sister, I am fighting for this moment, this moment is enough!"
As Ren spoke, he coughed violently.
The boy's thin body looked like a piece of jade in the loose clothes.
His eyes were dark and shiny as he looked at Xiangying: "My elder sister asked Lord Chu to teach my younger brothers and sisters knowledge, and I also learned a little. I remember this saying: The best strategy is to attack the enemy's plans, the next best is to attack their alliances, the next best is to attack their troops, and the worst is to attack their cities."
"I have nothing. I can only achieve my goal by stirring up trouble. I am deliberately leading these people to revolt. Sister will capture me and hand me over to the soldiers in a moment."
"In this way, you have stopped the civil unrest and have become a hero instead of a criminal. The Sixth Prince is probably just dreaming if he wants your life!"
"Also, the court will notice that the garrison commander of Baicheng is so greedy for life and afraid of death that he has gathered all the food and medicine in the city in his own mansion, and all the sick people cannot get medical treatment."
"It's worth it to kill two birds with one stone by using my life!" He said, taking out a bundle of ropes from his sleeve, "I will tie myself up, sister, you can send me out later. If they want to kill me right away, I hope you will bury me."
Xiangying was shocked by the boy's agility and bravery.
He actually thought of inciting the people to rebel when the situation was most unfavorable to them, and then gave the credit to her so that she could use it to gain merit.
Even at the cost of sacrificing oneself.
This made Xiangying think that the highest level of chess is when the player also regards himself as a chess piece and participates in the game.
"Aren! I just gave you a few bites of food, and you were so loyal to me that you even gave up your life for me. Don't you regret it?"
Ah Ren raised his head. His face was red in the cold wind, probably because of the high fever.
But the young man held back, a spirited smile appearing at the corner of his lips.
"I told you, for my sister, I'm willing to kill people, so what does this mean?"
"From the moment you saved me, I swore that I would only do good for my sister in this life!"
After saying that, he lowered his head and tightened the straw ropes around his wrists with his mouth.
He looked like he was willing to die.
Ah Ren coughed twice and continued, "But, those people are all poor people. They followed me in rebellion out of necessity. If I have a chance, I will definitely help them."
Xiangying's phoenix eyes sparkled with a radiant light.
She walked towards Ah Ren and said, "Ah Ren, you don't need to work so hard, because I have been released by the Sixth Prince."
Ah Ren was stunned when he heard this. He thought that it was because of his request that the Sixth Prince was willing to release Xiangying to see him.
Xiangying continued, "I can cure the disease. I have reached a consensus with the Sixth Prince. He gave me the power and let me be the commander of the army. I will help him cure the disease."
"So now, no one can take our lives. Ah Ren, don't worry and come back with me. I can cure your disease, not only you, but also the people here."
As she spoke, she reached out and held Ren's hand, and this time the young boy did not shy away.
Maybe it was because he had been under so much pressure these days and had had such a hard time that he was afraid at the thought of not being able to save Xiangying.
He was carrying all these emotions alone, and finally when he heard Xiangying say "it's okay", his eyes turned red and he burst into tears.
"Sister!" Ah Ren threw himself into her arms, "I'm glad you're okay."
Xiangying patted his back and said, "Aren, are you willing to be my brother?"
Ah Ren looked up in confusion: "Am I not your biological brother?"
Of course, that's what he thought.
Xiangying laughed: "I mean, you and I have the same last name."
Ah Ren was surprised: "I want to follow the royal family name of the Western Zhou Dynasty?"
"It has nothing to do with Xi Zhou. My surname is Xiang," Xiangying said seriously, "From now on, you are me. Whoever treats you badly is treating me badly. We are siblings with one heart. Are you willing?"
Ah Ren was flattered: "Yes! Yes! Then my name is Xiang Ren."
Xiangying was stunned.
Like a human??? Is this a good name?
"How about a different name? Xiangyu, Xiangge...do you have a favorite?"
"The word Ren is a good one, because when I met Sister, I was called Ren."
Seeing that he insisted, Xiangying smiled and said, "Okay, then Xiangren."
She untied the straw rope on Ah Ren's wrist and said, "Go and tell those people to give up their resistance. I can save their lives and give them medical treatment."
Ah Ren hesitated: "Will the Sixth Prince be embarrassed by this?"
"No," Xiangying answered decisively, "unless he doesn't want to be cured."
Since she has been given the right to command the army, she must make use of it and not waste it.
Ah Ren nodded immediately and ran into the yard.
But at this moment, Jie Chen came from the direction of the inner courtyard.
When he saw A-ren, he was also startled, but immediately told Sang-young about his important discovery.
"I unexpectedly discovered that the cellar was full of medicinal herbs and food. The city garrison kept all the city's supplies for himself."
Our Ah-Ren is the best behaved one
