Chapter 253: All Good Plans
The warm sunshine sprinkled on the sparkling water. Two figures, one tall and one short, were reflected on the water, intertwining and lingering among the rippling water.
When Wen En didn't get a response for a long time, he couldn't help but lower his eyes, his gaze fell on the water, looking at the two intersecting afterimages, his eyes became dimmer.
Yes, she must be reluctant to leave. Although she is unwilling to admit it, he knows the man in her heart.
The loss in his heart was unbearable, but Wen En knew that even if he did not agree with her choice, he would still not do anything against her wishes.
A group of women fighting for a man's general's mansion is definitely not her destiny.
So he just had to wait, wait until she saw the reality clearly with scars all over her body. At that time, he would use all his strength to come back and take her away.
After constantly comforting himself like this, Winn felt a little better. He was just about to force a smile and say that what he had just said was just a joke.
"Okay, I'll leave the capital with you."
Before Wen En could speak, he suddenly heard Wen Wan say this in a relaxed tone.
He thought he had misheard and looked up in shock, "Sister, what did you say?"
Wen Wan smiled brightly, "I said... let's leave the capital together."
After getting another affirmative answer, Wen En was so happy that he almost jumped up. He was so excited that he lost his composure and hugged Wen Wan's shoulders.
He laughed so hard his chest shook.
"Sister! Sister! Sister!"
There were obviously many things I wanted to say, but all the intense emotions that came out of my mouth turned into the sobs of my sister.
She actually agreed, and Winn felt that this moment was the happiest moment he had ever experienced in his life.
Wen Wan saw that he was getting more and more exaggerated, so she quickly pushed him away and said, "Calm down, I haven't finished yet."
After hearing this, Wen En calmed down a little, but he still couldn't suppress the curve of his mouth.
Wen Wan glanced behind her warily, "Chen Yu's men should be held back by Meng Jin's men now."
"Meng Jin?" Wen En was startled, then calmed down, sensing a hidden meaning in her words. "Sister, what do you mean by that?"
At this point, Wen Wan had no intention of hiding it from him.
"I've always planned to leave the General's Mansion, but I just haven't found the right opportunity. Originally, Shen Yu and I had agreed, and he agreed to let me go, but..."
Wen Wan smiled bitterly, "There are some things that perhaps even he can't control."
When it comes to love, who can be so free and easy and let go?
If she wasn't pregnant, she might have planned it slowly. After all, Chen Yu had to go back to the border town, and she could choose the most appropriate time.
Wen Wan cheered up, "I asked Agui to help me deliver a letter to Meng Jin. After all, I am the one who has actually met the Prince of Mobei. As long as I personally admit that you are the Prince of Mobei, Meng Jin will definitely send people to pursue you."
Wen En reacted quickly, "You mean, you informed Meng Jin that we were going to escape? And used Meng Jin's men to hold back the people from the General's Mansion?"
"Yeah." Wen Wan nodded and said, "So we need to move faster, as time is running out."
Wen En didn't dare to waste any more time and immediately ordered everyone to board the boat.
"Wait." Before getting on the boat, Wen Wan looked around and saw a little child playing at the dock, so she walked over.
Wen En didn't understand what was going on, so he saw Wen Wan give the little boy a few copper coins and then say something to him.
After a while, Wen Wan turned back and followed Wen En onto the boat.

This ship is not big, but it is fast.
After getting on the boat, they set off immediately, going downstream, and their speed increased by 20%.
Standing on the bow of the boat, Wen Wan looked towards the dock, her eyes a little dim but her gaze firm.
Winn stood behind her holding a cloak and put it over her shoulders.
"Sister, it's very windy here. Let's go back to the cabin and rest."
Wen Wan shook her head and said softly, "I think you all had support all the way out of the Imperial Capital, right?"
Winn didn't hesitate. "Yes. After passing three bays, the speedboat continued on its way. We'll take the land route instead. After passing two small towns, we'll go back to the water."
Mixing truth and falsehood is a good way to confuse pursuers.
Seeing that she looked a little lonely, Wen En couldn't help but ask with concern: "Sister, are you still reluctant to leave?"
Wen Wan was startled and didn't answer. She just wrapped her cloak tightly around her and said sadly:
"It's not that I'm reluctant, it's just... a little regretful."
For some fate, the ending is already written from the moment you meet.
She had once thought Shen Yu was just a small-time general on the frontier. Even if she provoked him, the ultimate risk would still be manageable. A small-time lieutenant, with less ingrained family values, was still a good match for her.
But who would have known that he was actually a general holding military power in the current dynasty.
Never mind, she knows her own limitations and is not someone you can afford to offend.
A cool breeze blew, and Wen Wan sneezed twice in succession. Finally, after Wen En's persuasion, she returned to the cabin.
*
At the fork in the road, both sides were ready for battle.
Although Meng Jin's fighting ability is not good, all of Princess Jiarou's personal guards are carefully selected by the emperor, so it is not easy for the people in the general's mansion to kill them directly by force.
The moment Shen Yu saw Meng Jin appear, his heart skipped a beat.
Today is the day when officials from the Ministry of Revenue discuss disaster relief in the south. As the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Meng Jin must attend, which is why they chose to send Wen En out of the city today.
But Meng Jin did not even participate in such an important discussion, but instead brought people to stop it. He must have received some reliable information.
Meng Jin hid behind the guards and shouted to Shen Yu in a cold voice, "General Shen, quickly hand over the Mobei Prince. I will never give you the chance to send him away today!"
Shen Yu glanced at the sky, his sharp eyes falling on Meng Jin's face.
"Minister Meng is so arrogant that he actually charged this general with harboring the prince of Mobei without consulting the Ministry of Justice or His Majesty."
Meng Jin gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Chen Yu, the Mobei prince is in the carriage behind you. Once I catch him, you will never have the chance to quibble again."
"Who told you that the person in this carriage is the prince of Mobei?"
Shen Yu was furious and didn't want to waste time, so he waved his hand and someone immediately came forward to open the carriage.
In the carriage, Xiang Tu grinned and waved at Meng Jin.
Meng Jin's face turned pale. "Oh no! They've lured the tiger away from the mountain."
Shen Yu's face was not looking good either. In order to allow Wen En to leave the city smoothly, they staged a scene of unwillingness to leave the capital on the street. Then they sent out different carriages, disguised as Wen En and his party, to leave from different city gates.
Now it seems that not only Meng Jin fell into the trap, but he too fell into the trap.
"Xiao Wan..."
Shen Yu was so angry that he wanted to laugh, but she knew how to seize the opportunity and was ruthless when she took action.
Good, very good. She would stop him even if it meant informing Meng Jin.
Just abandon him without any regrets?
