Chapter 691 What kind of sin have I committed?!
The news coming from the northwest is a mixture of true and false, with most of it being false.
Making such a big fuss was nothing more than Chen Nianhe's way of getting out of this situation.
If the northwest is not in chaos, how can Chen Nianhe leave Kyoto?
Emperor Yongshun would rather trap him in Kyoto for his entire life and let him die than allow the military power to fall into Chen Nianhe's hands.
Xu Yu turned the empty teacup in his hand and said slowly, "It's not that Chen Nianhe has no other way to leave Kyoto. By not leading his troops to quell the rebellion and confront our army, he has already made his position clear."
If you don't want to fight against your former colleagues, then just turn around and fight the foreign enemy.
But one thing is certain.
Before Kyoto was captured and the dynasty was completely changed, the northwest camp controlled by Chen Nianhe would not pose a threat to Lingnan.
With the Northwest Camp there, the covetous Northern Di will always be isolated outside the pass, and Lingnan will not be in danger of being attacked from both sides.
As for how sincere Chen Nianhe is about joining the Lingnan camp...
Xu Yu scoffed, "That's not important."
"Sir, General Chen is old. He has fought on the battlefield for half his life. He has no successors in the army. This trip to the northwest will probably be his last battle."
"As long as he can protect the northwest from being invaded by the Northern Di, then when the young prince ascends the throne, the northwest will be intact and handed over to him. What's wrong with that?"
As for whether Chen Nianhe would leave at that time or accept the rewards and favors from the new court to protect his descendants, that was a matter for the future and there was no need to rush.
Mr. Xue had missed too many clues and didn't understand Chen Nianhe at all. Hearing Xu Yu's words out of the blue, he couldn't help but sigh, "If what the general said today is true, it will not only be a blessing for our army, but also for the people of Northwest China."
"Yes."
Xu Yu smiled with his eyes closed. "The situation in the three northwestern cities is slightly different from elsewhere. The people and officials there have all shared hardships and hardships with General Chen, going through hunger and famine together."
"With Chen Nianhe here, the northwest is very stable. Just rest assured, sir."
Mr. Xue finally put his mind at ease and immediately arranged for Xu Yu to go to Nanyun.
On the other side, Old Qi looked at Sang Zhixia with a mixture of annoyance and helplessness: "We've only been in Chuzhou for a month, and you're already going to Nanyun with me. Do you really think you're made of iron?"
It is not easy for Sangzhixia to gain weight.
At home, Xu Wenxiu and others kept watching over him. He had to eat a lot of tonic soup all day long. He finally gained some weight on his face, but he lost more weight every time he went out.
It's rare that I haven't had anything to worry about these days, but instead of taking a good rest, I'm going somewhere else.
Old Qi's face was unfriendly: "Can't Xu Yu go by himself? He's just a kid, why does he have to have you accompany him? If you don't accompany him, he won't be able to walk anymore."
Sang Zhixia held the poured tea in front of Mr. Qi with both hands and laughed, "You really misunderstood him."
"If he doesn't let me follow him, he won't be able to get out."
Old Qi glared at Sang Zhixia angrily.
Sang Zhixia waited for him to take a sip of the tea before sitting down and saying, "Lin Yun and Xue Liu have been in the south for three years now. I've only heard about them before, but never had a chance to visit. This is a rare opportunity, so I might as well go and take a look."
Old Qi chuckled twice: "Don't try to make excuses for that kid. It's obvious that you're going to help him."
"Why, do you feel so bad for me to deal with him?"
Sang Zhixia said helplessly, "I may feel bad, but it won't stop you from adding ingredients to the medicine. We see the truth but don't say it out loud. Isn't that harmonious?"
Old Qi was so angry that he laughed out loud.
Sang Zhixia suppressed a smile and said, "I came here just to tell you that you don't have to suffer with us on this trip to Nanyun."
"Do you want to wait for us in Chuzhou, or do you want to go explore the surrounding mountains and rivers and enjoy the scenery?"
“I don’t have that much to watch when I’m older.”
Elder Qi waved his hand and said, "Take Xu Mingyang and Sang Yanyou with you. Yanran will stay with me. She has made a lot of progress recently, so it's just right for her to stay in Chuzhou."
The way Mr. Qi teaches Xu Yanran is fundamentally different from the gentle and loving Mr. Hu.
After arriving in Chuzhou, Xu Yanran was not only taken by Mr. Qi to the military camp to treat the wounded, but he also took her to set up a stall on the street, taking the pulse and prescribing medicine for passers-by for free.
Although this way of beating was a bit too cruel, it also made Xu Yanran accustomed to the uncertainty of life and death in a very short period of time. She was no longer like at the beginning, when she could not stop her hands from shaking and crying just by looking at Xu Yu's injuries.
The little girl who was raised delicately at home can now carry the horrific wound on her medicine box on her own, calmly and steadily.
Sang Zhixia couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw this, but she felt more of a natural sense of pride.
She watched the little girl grow up and become someone who could stand on her own.
After agreeing on the remaining arrangements, Sang Zhixia called over several senior officials in Chuzhou and reminded them one by one of the things they should pay attention to next. They then hurried out of Chuzhou at noon the next day.
Accompanying them was Chen Jingan, who volunteered to go along.
only……
Sang Zhixia glanced back at the two people who were left behind and said in a low voice, "Are they the ones who helped you in Chuzhou this time?"
Xu Yu hummed and jokingly said, "Thanks to Xuantian Pavilion's generous help, otherwise it would not have been so easy for us to obtain the Chuzhou defense map."
"Chen Jing'an might become Xuantian Pavilion's son-in-law. Look how enthusiastic he is."
Xu Yu just wanted to watch the fun and didn't mind the big deal, and his words were full of narrow-mindedness.
Sang Zhixia retracted her gaze and said with a smile, "The reason Chen Jing'an was hunted down and you were injured before was because of this girl who ran away from her marriage?"
"That's right."
Xu Yu gritted his teeth and said, "If he hadn't been so dissolute, would I have taken that beating for nothing?"
"How dare he say that I betrayed him?"
Sang Zhixia suppressed a smile, thinking back to how Chen Jing'an and this girl interacted, and said delicately, "These two don't look like they're in love with each other. Why would this girl have to follow him?"
"Because if you don't follow him, you will be captured and married."
Xu Yu said, "That girl is very stubborn. To avoid getting married, she insisted that she would marry no one but Chen Jing'an. Her father probably thought Chen Jing'an was okay, so he just let her do what she wanted."
But if I break up with Chen Jing'an, I have to marry the person I'm supposed to marry.
The girl was at her wit's end and made up an excuse, using Chen Jing'an as a temporary lifeline and shield.
Chen Jing'an had to endure the humiliation because the other person had helped him before.
But judging by the current situation...
Chen Jingan sneered.
The girl pulled the reins with a look of disgust on her face: "You, stay away from me."
Chen Jingan: “…”
"Otherwise, I will chop you into pieces right now."
Chen Jingan took a deep breath: "I..."
"What sin have I committed?!"
