Chapter 428 Going to Help
An Yan was thinking about how to get there when she saw Li Rongsen had already driven the car over. He said, "Get in the car, we'll go together."
"Since you have something to do, you don't have to come with me." An Yan said.
"Get in the car." That's all Li Rongsen said.
An Yan opened the car door and got in, saying, "Do you know the way to West City?"
"I recognize it." Li Rongsen nodded, and then went to West City.
The commotion in West City was not too big. The old man seemed to want to pretend that nothing had happened, and Yan Qingqiu was naturally not too nervous. They settled the person who would report the news in the future, and then waited for An Yan to make a decision.
An Yan used a little trick to make Li Rongsen's car arrive at the West City faster, and then entered the city and went into the main hall.
The old man sat upright as usual. When he heard footsteps, he raised his eyes and found that it was An Yan who had returned. He quickly stood up to greet her and said, "City Lord, you are here quickly."
"What's the situation over there now?" An Yan asked.
Yan Qingqiu was very happy when he saw Li Rongsen, as if the old days had come back and he always followed behind An Yan.
"He was attacked from both sides," said the old man.
An Yan frowned. She glanced at Yan Qingqiu and said, "Who else is there besides that woman in the mountains?"
"I think it might be that man." Yan Qingqiu speculated, and then reminded, "That woman called him a bitch."
"Oh." An Yan nodded slightly, seeming to understand a little.
"These two people said they wanted to occupy Taiping City. One is inside and the other is outside. They designed to put Bai Yucheng under house arrest. His people secretly came to report the news, saying that they hope you can help." Yan Qingqiu told her.
"Of course I will help."
"You don't have to help. That's their business. It has nothing to do with us in Xicheng." The old man continued.
"How could you just watch someone die without helping?" An Yan didn't believe that the old man was such a cruel person.
The old man stroked his beard and said, "It's a long journey. By the time we get there, everyone will be dead. Besides, there's the Dark Moon Realm there. If the Dark Moon Realm Lord doesn't intervene, what use are we to help? Far water can't quench a nearby fire."
"The Lord of the Dark Moon Realm will naturally not take action." An Yan knew him very well.
"That's right. He's so close to us and he doesn't even want to take action. Why should we take action?" This is exactly what the old man meant.
"Is there anyone in the city?" Li Rongsen asked.
"Of course there are. There are people in Taiping City." Yan Qingqiu said.
"Since that's the case, we must go and rescue him." Li Rongsen said.
"It's easy for you to say. This is a war, not a joke. We in West City have made an oath to the people in the city to never talk about war and to ensure their safety and prosperity. It is naturally impossible to take them to war now." The old man immediately refuted his words.
Li Rongsen frowned, he didn't know the rules here.
An Yan said: "It is not my character to watch someone in danger and not help him."
"What reason do you have to save him? It's impossible without a legitimate reason," the old man reminded her.
"Not really. I forced Bai Yucheng to be the city lord. Now that he is in trouble, of course I have to help him. I should help him, not to mention that innocent people are involved." An Yan said.
"In that case, he will have to pay tribute to our West City from now on." The old man answered immediately.
"Why take advantage of someone's misfortune?" An Yan thought this was inappropriate.
Yan Qingqiu said, "This isn't taking advantage of someone's misfortune. I'll naturally protect their safety in the future. I think Bai Yucheng will agree to it."
"How about this, I'll make plans after I meet Bai Yucheng." The old man had his own little plan, but he was unwilling to say it at the moment.
An Yan didn't think much about it. She said, "What should we do now? Find a few people to go with me, give them generous rewards, and I will protect them."
The old man thought about it and said, "Let me pick a few capable people."
"In my opinion, this matter will ultimately make people unhappy. It would be better to issue a notice, clearly state the reward, and let the people in the city make their own decisions. This way, they will agree to it willingly." Li Rongsen made a suggestion.
The old man looked at Li Rongsen and thought it was a pity for this city slave, as his ideas were always the most practical. But he didn't say anything and just looked at An Yan.
An Yan naturally wouldn't object and said, "That's great, let's do as you say. We'll make some arrangements and then arrange it immediately."
"In that case, I'll go borrow a boat from the Dark Moon Realm Lord. That way, we can get back and forth faster," the old man said. He then added, "I'll have them make some pastries and send them to him as a thank you gift."
"You are quite close to him." An Yan said with a chuckle.
"It's okay, it's okay. He and I are good friends regardless of age difference." The old man was a little proud.
Yan Qingqiu interrupted at this time and said, "Who of you is older? He might be older than you, but he looks so young."
"Shut up!" the old man sneered at him.
Yan Qingqiu laughed out loud, and then saw the old man start to issue a notice, and then spread the notice to everyone in the city.
An Yan said, "I'll go back to the yard to clean up first and come back here later." After that, she turned around and went inside.
Yan Qingqiu glanced at Li Rongsen and said, "Why don't you go and help?"
"You don't need my help." Li Rongsen replied.
The old man glanced at Li Rongsen, thinking that he really had no intention of becoming a slave city. He still had high hopes for him and naturally hoped that he and An Yan could get closer. He said, "Go ahead. We'll be there if you need anything."
Li Rongsen lowered his eyes, but finally followed.
An Yan was just packing up some medicinal herbs. She was worried that the people there were injured in the battle, so she also took some hidden weapons and other things. She didn't take anything else. She heard footsteps and turned to see Li Rongsen walking in. She said, "I don't have anything else to do here. You can go back. You still have things to do."
"I just called Nissen and arranged all the work matters." Li Rongsen told her.
"You don't have to go with me. This is a matter of West City." An Yan said. She didn't want to take up his time, nor did she want him to get hurt.
Li Rongsen said, "I'm willing to help."
"You are not from Xicheng, so you don't need to help. Besides, we have enough manpower here." An Yan mainly didn't want Li Rongsen to be implicated in the past. It's not that she didn't remember that there was a Beichen on the other side.
Li Rongsen said: "Why can't I help?"
An Yan looked at Li Rongsen because of this and found that his face was gloomy, as if the sky was covered with dark clouds. After a moment's thought, he said, "This is a matter of war, not to mention that spiritual energy can easily hurt people."
"I'm going to protect Yan Qingqiu. He's going with you, right?"
An Yan was so stunned by these words that she couldn't say anything. She chuckled and said, "Okay."
Li Rongsen then secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know why, but he thought the current situation was quite serious. He would be very worried if he didn't go with them, not to mention that he had some abilities.
"But you must not be too stubborn. Try not to try to break through the barrier by force like you did last time. You won't be so lucky every time." An Yan reminded him again.
"I won't do this every time." Li Rongsen replied calmly.
At this time, seeing the old man walk into the room, he first asked: "City Lord, I want to say a few words to Mr. Li."
"Okay." An Yan nodded and started to organize the things in her hands.
"Mr. Li, let's go to your room and have a chat." The old man waved at Li Rongsen and said, "Come, let's go together."
Li Rongsen followed the old man to the room where he was resting, and An Yan just realized that if they had anything to say in private, it couldn't be done in front of her.
