2002 Decompression, the wrong bet
Nanling Jinfan's condition was very serious, and he was losing weight at a speed visible to the naked eye. Su Wan had only delayed for two days, but Nanling Jinfan was breathing out more than he was breathing in. Even the most precious medicinal herbs could only keep him alive.
"Miss Su Wan, our master's condition can't wait any longer. If you are unwilling to go, we will send our master there." Nanling Jinfan also has a few confidants around him. Although their number is not large, they are more useful in Nanling than those in Yecheng. The survival of Nanling Jinfan and Su Wan depends entirely on these people.
Su Wan looked struggling: "Feng Qingchen will not save my cousin, that woman has no heart at all." Most importantly, she didn't want to go to Dongling at all, that place was her nightmare.
"Miss Su Wan, you don't need to worry about whether she will be rescued or not. Just tell us whether you will help the master pass the message." Nanling Jinfan's men were quite dissatisfied with Su Wan's nagging.
They believed that Su Wan was deliberately trying to kill Nanling Jinfan.
"I..." Su Wan was struggling. She was afraid that if she went to find Feng Qingchen, she would be sending herself into a tiger's mouth and would never be able to come back.
But Nanling Jinfan's men didn't care whether Su Wan lived or died. Seeing Su Wan hesitate, they threatened directly, "Miss Su Wan, think about your daughter and your clansmen in the mine. The people of the Ye family alone will not protect you forever."
The group of people who stayed behind with Ye Ye were all thinking about going to Dongling to rescue Ye Ye. They stayed in Nanling because Su Wan and Nanling Jinfan said that they were planning to go to Dongling to rescue Ye Ye.
Once Nanling Jinfan died, Su Wan, a woman, would not be able to control those subordinates. If Su Wan gave birth to a son, it would be fine, because he would still be the young master of Yecheng. For the sake of the young master, the diehards of Yecheng would still respect Su Wan a little, but Su Wan gave birth to a daughter.
Even a noble daughter like Feng Li could not inherit the family business, let alone Su Wan's daughter.
Su Wan knew that she had no choice but to take the risk of going to Dongling to talk to Feng Qingchen about saving Nanling Jinfan.
Dongling and Nanling were at war, and the two countries had severed diplomatic relations long ago. Su Wan naturally could not take the official road to go to Dongling. She was escorted by Nanling Jinfan's subordinates, and she crossed mountains and rivers and suffered a lot before she arrived in Dongling.
When they arrived at Dongling, they found out about the situation there after a quick inquiry. They also learned that Feng Qingchen was not in the capital. Both Nanling Jinfan's people and Su Wan breathed a sigh of relief.
Feng Qingchen's absence from the capital meant that they didn't have to deal with the Ninth Prince, and they wouldn't be in danger of being caught.
Su Wan brought people to look for Feng Qingchen. After meeting him halfway, Su Wan did not show up in person, but sent a letter to Feng Qingchen, asking her to meet him. The matter was related to the Hundred Ghost Official, and the letter was signed with Su Wan's seal.
"Su Wan? She was able to escape from Dongling, that's not easy at all." Su Wan still regarded Feng Qingchen as an enemy, but Feng Qingchen had long forgotten about her. When Feng Qingchen saw the letter from Su Wan, she just found it funny.
"Send the news back to the capital." Feng Qingchen completely ignored it. In her current situation, she would never go to see Su Wan or anyone else easily.
She is not afraid of death, but her child is. It is better to let the Ninth Prince handle this matter directly.
"Yes." Tong Jue did not do it himself, but told the secret guards the news. When the secret guards saw this situation, there was no need to ask the Ninth Prince for permission. The Ninth Prince had been looking for Nanling Jinfan just to know the location of the Hundred Ghosts Palace. Now that he was delivered to the door, there was no need to be polite.
The secret guards did not give Su Wan much time. They found her whereabouts that night and captured her and all the people sent by Nanling Jinfan.
"I have something to say to Feng Qingchen, please let me see her." Su Wan was tied up by the secret guards and kept struggling.
She didn't want to go back to Dongling again. She never wanted to live that kind of life again.
"You think you want to see Miss Feng?" The secret guard sneered and blocked Su Wan's mouth: "Take him back to the capital immediately."
After many twists and turns and working hard for most of the day, Su Wan finally returned to Dongling and fell into the hands of the Ninth Prince.
Of course, it was completely impossible for someone of Su Wan's level to meet the Ninth Uncle. After the Ninth Uncle knew about this, he only had one sentence: "Find out the whereabouts of Nanling Jinfan and leave her to Ye Ye."
Su Wan was not a very strong-willed person, and she sold out Nanling Jinfan without any torture. Wang Jinling was too lazy to even look at such a woman, and had her thrown back to Ye Ye. As for whether Su Wan and Ye Ye would love and hate each other, it was no longer within Wang Jinling's scope of concern.
After confirming the whereabouts of Nanling Jinfan, the Ninth Prince immediately sent someone to bring Nanling Jinfan back to Dongling. In order to allow Nanling Jinfan to reach Dongling alive, the Ninth Prince specially called Guo Baoji and Chi Lianshui. With the two of them, Nanling Jinfan's life would be saved.
"Now that we have found Nanling Jinfan, will Nanling still fight?" Wang Jinling asked.
The Beiling army is approaching, Jiancheng and Ancheng have decided to send troops. Dongling has money and weapons, but it has no people. They are totally insufficient in manpower, and the weather is not suitable for fighting. No matter how many people die, if the bodies are not handled properly, it will be a big trouble.
"Fight? Why not? There's no need to worry about Jiancheng and Ancheng." When the Ninth Prince decided to send troops to Nanling, he anticipated that Beiling would send troops and the other cities would also become restless.
Beiling had been in civil strife for more than half a year and it was finally quelled. The national treasury was empty. With such a good opportunity in front of them, Beiling would be stupid not to send troops.
The Ninth Prince immediately issued an order to transfer the troops from Jiangnan to the border of Beiling. At the same time, he wrote a letter to Xiling Tianyu, requesting him to send troops to attack Jiancheng and Ancheng. All the required troops and food supplies were to be provided by Dongling.
"The Ninth Uncle is really wealthy." After receiving the letter from the Ninth Uncle, Xiling Tianyu couldn't help but marvel at the Ninth Uncle's generosity.
"Could it be that the treasures of the previous dynasty have fallen into the hands of the Ninth Uncle?" It's no wonder Xiling Tianyu thought so. Even if he couldn't guess ten percent of how much silver was in the Dongling treasury, he could at least guess six or seven percent.
Although Dongling is rich, it definitely does not have the financial resources to support Dongling's repeated wars. Thinking that the Ninth Prince had disappeared for a while, Xiling Tianyu decisively found out the truth.
Of course, even though he guessed it, Xiling Tianyu had no intention of telling anyone. Xiling was already in a state of chaos, with the country divided into two parts, the people were poor, and the officials were impetuous. Even if he had ambitions, facing such a situation, he would lose three points of fighting spirit, not to mention that he had no such idea at all.
After receiving the letter from the Ninth Prince, Xiling Tianyu immediately summoned Mr. Yinli and Cui Haoting and told them about the plan to send troops to Jiancheng and Ancheng.
Mr. Yinli had known about the matter between Xiling Tianyu and the Ninth Uncle for a long time, so he was not surprised. Although Cui Haoting didn't know, he was so smart that he could see that Xiling Tianyu was relieving the pressure on the Ninth Uncle.
Alas... Cui Haoting sighed secretly, knowing in his heart that their Cui family had bet on the wrong horse this time. When Wang Jinling tried his best to match the Cui family with Xiling Tianyu, he must have known this.
This time, the Cui family is really going to fall out of the circle of first-class families. In the future, I am afraid that there will be no family in the Jiuzhou Continent that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Wang family...
