"But...but..."
Murong Xue shook her head sadly, "He will definitely tell my father!"
“Then kill him and frame the Yan state!” Jiang Ming said.
"Kill...kill him?"
"Otherwise what? Hmph!" Jiang Ming sneered, "I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray me! He came to Yan to collect furs and died there, so there's no need to explain anything... Anyway, your father Khan doesn't want to fight Yan, and the prefect listens to me, so naturally, everything will be resolved peacefully..."
"Really... really okay?" Murong Xue frowned slightly, still looking uneasy.
"Xue'er, don't worry, for you I would be willing to go against the whole world! You must also stand up for yourself, and stop talking about death and life all the time!"
Jiang Ming frowned and said, "If you die, what will happen to the baby in your belly? What will happen to me?"
"child......"
Upon hearing those two words, Murong Xue burst into tears, lowering her head to stroke her lower abdomen, her eyes filled with sorrow and reluctance.
"Alright, be good! Stay home and eat your meal quietly. I'll go find that Tuoba Ren right now... I'll definitely give you a satisfactory result, trust me, okay?"
Jiang Ming put his hands on Murong Xue's shoulders and said seriously.
"Yes! I'll listen to my husband!"
......
After settling Murong Xue in, Jiang Ming didn't even bother to eat and went straight to his father-in-law's house.
As the highest-ranking official in Chenjia Village and the father-in-law of Jiang Tingzhang, the "de facto leader" of Chenjia Village, it was perfectly reasonable for Old Master Chen to receive a "big customer" like Tuoba Ren.
Despite his private disputes and unpleasantness with his son-in-law over land, in front of outsiders, he would naturally side with Jiang Ming and boast about him!
When Tuoba Ren entered the village, he inquired about who was so powerful, commanding this wolf-extermination campaign and obtaining so many wolf pelts.
The villagers would all agree that it was Jiang Tingzhang who could keep this a secret.
Furthermore, Old Master Chen's vivid and detailed descriptions of Jiang Ming only fueled Tuoba Ren's curiosity about him!
When Jiang Ming arrived, Tuoba Ren looked at him differently, his eyes filled with admiration and awe!
Jiang Ming looked at Tuoba Ren. Although he was dressed as a Hu person with two small braids on his head, he was also a handsome man with a wise face. He was obviously not a simple person!
Although he's gotten older now, you can still tell that he was a real handsome guy when he was young!
"Father! You should go back to your room first. I have some things to discuss privately with this important customer!"
After a brief introduction, Jiang Ming didn't stand on ceremony with Old Master Chen and directly asked him to leave.
"Uh...okay, okay! You guys chat, you guys chat."
Master Chen was getting tired of 'talking' and left the living room with his servants.
Now that he already knew the other party's trump card, Jiang Ming was too lazy to play along with Tuoba Ren's usual game of pretense and business acumen...
He cut to the chase: "Prime Minister Tuoba, your trip to Yan this time wasn't just about collecting hides, was it?"
Tuoba Ren was taken aback for a moment, then realized what he meant and burst into laughter, "Your Highness, you are indeed a straightforward person! Haha! I like your quick wit and outspokenness!"
