The reason why you have to go?

Jiang Si looked at Elder Hua calmly, waiting for him to give her a reason why she had to go.

Elder Hua turned his hand over and something appeared in his palm. It was an ordinary purse.

The moment Jiang Si saw the purse, his expression suddenly changed. He could no longer maintain his usual calmness and asked in a lost voice, "Where did you get it?"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but grab her purse.

Elder Hua did not move and let Jiang Si take the purse away.

Jiang Si grabbed the bamboo green purse and looked through it carefully. He saw dark brown streaks on the purse with dense stitches. Those were the traces left after the blood dried up. His eyes couldn't help but turn red.

This purse was handed to her brother personally by her before he went south.

Jiang Zhan was going to the battlefield, and Jiang Si was worried, so she prepared some medicines, including those for stopping bleeding, detoxifying, and removing miasma... They were all prepared by her personally, with extraordinary effects, and could not be bought on the market.

She sorted all these medicines into several purses. This bamboo green purse contained the hemostatic powder.

Jiang Si understands Jiang Zhan.

No matter whether it was a pair of shoes or a purse given by his eldest sister, his brother would wear them and would never throw them away casually.

But now, the purse worn by the second brother appeared in Elder Hua's hands.

This couldn't help but shock Jiang Si, and after the shock came anger.

Jiang Si's eyes were as cold as ice as he stared at Elder Hua.

Elder Hua looked more relaxed, even raising his hand to stroke his temples, and said slowly, "Now, Princess, are you willing to travel south with me?"

"I ask again, where did Elder Hua get this purse?"

Meeting Elder Hua's determined gaze, Jiang Si's heart sank, and the anger he had revealed on the outside was suppressed.

The more anxious you are, the more you must not show it, lest you be caught by the other party.

She had understood this principle a long time ago, but when it came to her brother, she was too concerned and became confused.

She couldn't help but feel confused. Her brother died on the battlefield and even his body could not be found. She couldn't let go of even the slightest clue.

"It's just a purse. It doesn't mean anything. Elder Hua didn't say anything. Do you think I would follow you south just for a purse?" Jiang Si spoke again, his voice calmer than she had imagined.

This calmness is not real calmness, but the turbulent undercurrents under the ice, the calm before the storm, which may be broken at any time and drag the other party into it.

Elder Hua sensed the danger but did not take it seriously, apparently having everything under control.

"I heard that the Princess of Yan's brother joined the Southern Expedition Army. Not long ago, the Great Zhou Army and the Southern Lan Army fought fiercely. Your brother died on the battlefield but his body has not been found. Is this true?"

Jiang Si's eyes were cold and his tone was even colder: "Everyone in the capital of the Great Zhou should know about this."

Elder Hua smiled and said, "I heard that the King of Yan went to the south in person to retrieve your brother's body."

"This matter should be known to everyone. I wonder what Elder Hua wants to say?" Jiang seemed to be a little impatient.

This feeling of being led by the nose by the other party was really terrible. Contrary to her impatience on the surface, she became calmer at this moment.

Elder Hua thought that this woman, who had the same appearance as the Saint and was equally young, had finally lost her temper, and said meaningfully, "What I want to say is that the prince cannot find your brother's body."

Jiang Si narrowed his eyes.

Elder Hua said in such a firm tone that Ah Jin could not find his brother's body, and the purse that his brother always carried with him appeared in the other party's hands. Does this mean that the second brother's body is likely to have fallen into the hands of the Wu Miao people?

Thinking of this possibility, Jiang Si clenched his fists tightly.

"What do you mean, Elder Hua? Did you find my brother's body?" Jiang Si asked, trying his best to remain calm.

But Elder Hua gave her an answer that shocked her even more: "Princess, have you ever thought that your brother is still alive?"

In Elder Hua's opinion, a corpse cannot guarantee that the other party will agree to travel south.

Jiang Si's pupils suddenly dilated, veins bulged on the back of his clenched hands, and his nails almost pinched his palms to bleed.

"Elder Hua, are you... serious and not kidding me?"

Jiang Si asked, even though she tried hard to tell herself to stay calm, her trembling eyelashes still revealed her true emotions.

And her eyes became exceptionally cold.

At this moment, Jiang Si thought fiercely: If Elder Hua dared to tease her, she would beat him so hard that even her own granddaughter would not be able to recognize him.

To Jiang Si, when he is extremely angry, all the sayings like "a gentleman's revenge is never too late" and "an elegant counterattack" are just bullshit, and only fists are the real truth.

Elder Hua was quick to sense the danger and quietly moved back: "I spent a lot of effort to see the princess, not to joke with her."

Jiang Si pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.

She was afraid that once she opened her mouth, she would no longer be able to control the shock and excitement in her heart.

Second brother is still alive!

The second brother is still alive - this thought hit Jiang Si's heart like a wave again and again, making her forget that she was still in the ruined temple.

Long Dan and Ah Man, who stayed outside, noticed that there was no sound inside and became nervous.

Jiang Si and Elder Hua kept talking in Wu Miao language, and people outside the temple had no idea what they were saying.

"Do you want to go in and take a look?" Ah Man pointed inside and asked in a low voice.

Long Dan nodded slightly and was about to go in when he heard a ginger-like sound from inside.

"My second brother is in Wu Miao?"

Elder Hua smiled slightly and asked in a determined tone: "Princess, please go south and bring your brother back to the capital. I wonder if you can accept this condition?"

Jiang seemed to agree almost immediately.

This was an offer she couldn't and couldn't refuse.

Reason returned to her, and she pursed her lips gently: "Elder Hua, please answer me first, is my brother in Wu Miao?"

"Yes." Elder Hua stopped keeping the secret and gave a positive answer.

Jiang Si clenched his fists tighter, took a deep breath and asked, "If I agree, how can I guarantee that I can leave smoothly with my brother after completing your task?"

Elder Hua said that she should appear in front of the tribe as a saint to appease the people, but who knows how big the other party's appetite is. What if they think that one time is not safe and want her to stay in Wu Miao for a long time as a puppet saint?

Elder Hua didn't know that she already knew the truth that Saint Asan was no longer alive.

Elder Hua seemed to have expected Jiang Si to ask this question, and said solemnly, "I am willing to swear in the name of the true God that as long as the princess cooperates with the great elder and appears in front of the tribe once, I will let the princess and your brother leave. The princess may not know that my tribe is just uneasy because they haven't seen the saint for a long time, and they don't need to stay by her side every day."

Jiang Si smiled and said, "Then Elder Hua, please swear an oath."

Even if the other party swore, she still would not believe it completely, but there were some things she had to do even if she was doubtful, such as bringing her second brother back.

After hearing Elder Hua solemnly swear, Jiang Si seemed much calmer: "I have one more question to ask."

"Princess, please speak."

"How did Elder Hua know my identity?"
