"Yeah, I know," Su Wanyan replied speechlessly.
"Who are his family members?" Xiao Daya pressed.
Su Wanyan took a deep breath, looked back at her innocent face, and smiled, "There are no maids here, so you have to take care of your own food and daily life. I'm not very familiar with this governor's mansion either, so you'll have to see the layout yourself. Also, don't get into any conflicts with the injured; they need to rest. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me anytime."
Never mind, Xiao Daya didn't explicitly say that she came because she admired Yu Nanqing, and we still don't know what her purpose is or whether she has bad intentions.
Let's observe for now.
“Okay!” Xiao Daya replied.
Su Wanyan turned and stepped into the inner room: "You don't need to follow me anymore."
Xiao Daya was slightly taken aback, and quietly asked Su Chien, "Is your sister the one with the most power here? Between her and your general, who has more power?"
Su Chien glanced at her and then stepped into the inner hall.
Xiao Daya pursed her lips. Oh well, it's okay. The two countries are currently in a hostile relationship, so it's normal that they don't like her. They won't be like that once they get to know each other better.
"Sister, will there be any problems?" Su Chien was still a little worried.
"Didn't you say that this really happened? Then she was indeed saved by Yu Nanqing, right?"
Su Chien frowned slightly: "But we don't know each other very well either."
Moreover, it was agreed at the time that after rescuing the person, they would have no further dealings with each other.
Who knows what her intentions are in coming here now?
What if she secretly reached some kind of agreement with the people of Donghai after they left?
"One should always be wary of others," Su Wanyan thought for a moment and said, "Take some people to the backyard and check if there are any problems with the herbs and grains."
"yes."
"Never mind," Su Wanyan called out again, "I'll go with you."
We can manage things here for now, so going to take a look won't take up much of our time.
Xiao Daya brought eight cartloads of goods: five cartloads of grain and three cartloads of herbs.
The grains included rice, flour, sweet potatoes, corn, and some dry food, all of which are durable and can be stored for a long time. Su Wanyan also checked the three carts of herbs, which were genuine medicinal materials, including herbs for external injuries and internal use that are commonly used on a daily basis.
Of course, there were no precious medicinal herbs available.
Su Wanyan had the herbs moved to the house in the front yard in batches so she could come and handle them whenever she wanted.
Just as Su Wanyan and Su Chien returned from the backyard, they saw Xiao Daya warmly greeting each of the injured, but perhaps because of her appearance, the people here did not trust her.
"Send someone to keep an eye on her for the next few days. We can't just kick her out after she's accepted our bribes," Su Wanyan said.
Su Chien nodded: "Okay."
On the other side, when Lü Cezhong heard that an outsider had come to the Governor's Mansion, his heart tightened immediately, and he hurried from the military camp to the Governor's Mansion that afternoon.
He didn't go in to disturb Su Wanyan, but instead hid far away to the side, watching to see what the person who had mingled up to Su Wanyan looked like.
With brown hair, amber eyes, and brightly colored clothes, he clearly did not look like someone from the Great Jin Dynasty.
Lu Cezhong quietly summoned Su Chien and asked, "Who is this? Why were people from Donghai let in?"
They are the target of everyone's criticism here, and someone might take advantage of their vulnerability.
Su Chien bowed respectfully: "She is the woman that the Prince rescued in Qingxuan City, and she has now caught up with him and come to the Governor's Mansion."
Lu Cezhong's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this: "How could such a thing happen?"
Then she realized, "So Your Highness already knows about the Prince's affairs in Qingxuan City?"
Su Chien nodded: "My sister is always very intelligent. Even if I don't say it, she will definitely be able to guess it."
Whether before or now, Su Wanyan has never asked him a single question, but judging from her expression, she has probably already guessed most of it. There's no way they can hide this from each other.
"Well, the war is over now, and people will find out sooner or later anyway." The only problem is that the prince hasn't shown up yet, and they don't know how to be honest with the empress.
"Since this woman is here, the Prince must have already left Qingxuan City. General Lü, do you have any contact with the Prince? When will he return?"
"I have never contacted the Prince." This was what frustrated Lü Cezhong.
When discussing strategy earlier, Yu Nanqing said that once they entered the nitrous oxide field, they would have no chance of making contact, because this was in the East China Sea, which was not only complex in terms of terrain, but also fraught with obstacles.
All their battles were based on advance prediction, including Yu Nanqing's death in the naval battle.
Even Yu Nanqing himself couldn't guarantee that he would come out 100% alive. Yu Nanqing's idea was that regardless of whether he was alive or not, he should be considered dead.
Even if he hadn't blocked Qingxuan City, they could still have fought a battle against the thirty naval forces of the East China Sea after occupying the city island.
If they really can't win, according to calculations, the military supplies of the Eastern Sea Court will pass through Chengdao. They can then cut them off from Chengdao, which will also take them down for several months.
With hundreds of thousands of troops struggling to even get food, how could they possibly have the strength to fight? It was only a matter of time.
However, this would introduce an additional concern: if Qingxuan City reacted and mobilized its forces to attack the island, Lü Cezhong would have no choice but to fight the East Sea Navy to the death, with the intention of mutual destruction.
Yu Nanqing had discussed all the worst-case scenarios with him, so when he heard that Yu Nanqing had perished in the naval fire, Lü Cezhong did not hesitate. He had only one thought: he could not let Yu Nanqing die in vain.
Of course, in his heart, Yu Nanqing could not possibly die, so at the same time he was thinking that Yu Nanqing must have already infiltrated Qingxuan City, and he must make sure that Yu Nanqing, who had set up a plan in Qingxuan City, had no worries.
All their battle points were triggered by individual events. Now, how could he possibly contact Yu Nanqing?
"But you," Lü Cezhong looked at Su Chien, "weren't you with the Prince?"
"The prince sent me to Cheng Island, and before that..."
Lu Cezhong sighed slightly. Yu Nanqing had previously estimated that if Donghai lost this battle, he would retreat to the waters on both sides, with the saltwater being the best choice. Therefore, Yu Nanqing would enter the saltwater again to pursue Feng Lingxu.
Now that I think about it, Yu Nanqing should be in Xiaoshui right now.
Where was that saltwater? Yu Nanqing went in and out again. It was impossible for Lü Cezhong not to panic. Four years ago, he was able to break into the saltwater and rescue Yu Nanqing entirely because of his brute strength and a little bit of luck.
If you ask him to go in again now, he definitely won't go.
Yu Nanqing said he had memorized the terrain of Xiaoshui, and Lü Cezhong both believed and doubted it.
"General Lü, why don't you think of a way to get her away?"
