Chapter 932 A Secret Relationship
"This is the original tiger talisman of General Dingyuan, and your letter of appointment. It's all here! I must take the other half back to the capital and give it to the Emperor. I beg your forgiveness!"
Jiang Youzhen took out the tiger talisman and other items from his arms.
"When will you set off?" asked the Duke of Qin.
"Let's go tonight!" Jiang Youzhen said.
"What? So anxious? What about the second prince? He was kidnapped and is still missing." Duke Qin frowned.
"Don't worry! The other party won't kill him. If he wants to save his life, he can only take the second prince as a hostage. Even if we don't look for them, they will show up. And during this period of time, he will try his best to save the second prince's life. He cares much more than we do." Jiang Youzhen shook his head.
"How can you be so sure? What if he escapes back to Beiming Kingdom, takes the second prince as a hostage, and then threatens our Dayun Dynasty to withdraw its troops?" Duke Qin felt that not finding the second prince was a big problem.
"Do you think he can return to Northern Ming? The Khan must be very unhappy with him after this defeat. Furthermore, he wasn't the Khan's preferred heir to begin with, and by deserting the battlefield, he wouldn't gain anything by returning."
Jiang Youzhen was not afraid. "Besides, we have hostages in our hands! Isn't Prince Hadan in our hands? I think the Khan might be more affectionate towards Prince Hadan than Ke Zhenqiu.
However, the general has ordered that the search cannot be relaxed during this period. All checkpoints must be strictly guarded, and it will be extremely difficult for Ke Zhenqiu to escape. One day, he will be unable to bear it anymore, and that will be the time for him to appear on his own."
"Okay!" Duke Qin nodded.
Now some of the enemy generals and soldiers were captured, some deserted, and some retreated twenty miles away. They had already won a great victory.
As the sky gradually darkened, Jiang Youzhen ate his meal and rested for a while, then packed his bags and prepared to leave.
"Will you come with me, or go to the capital by yourself later?" Jiang Youzhen looked at Li Dongsheng and the others. This time she would have to travel day and night, and it would be very hard along the way.
"Of course I'll leave with you. I guess the capital is in chaos now, so I have to hurry back." Li Dongsheng immediately expressed his opinion.
"Me too!" Qin Yandong was more anxious than Li Dongsheng. The Li family was no longer in the eyes of the rebels, but his Duke Qin's Mansion was still in its heyday!
He just asked his grandfather, and his grandfather was very worried about the situation in the capital, so he actually wanted him to return to the capital as soon as possible.
"Okay! Let's pack up and get ready to go!" Jiang Youzhen was eager to go home. He put the remaining puppets back into the system and asked for the horses to be prepared.
Those puppets were treasures, but they were also very intelligent. When injured, they looked just like ordinary people, but just like in the past, they would lose health. Once their energy was depleted, they would be useless.
Now that the border has been settled, she certainly won't leave the puppet behind, so as to avoid people noticing the clues.
Jiang Youzhen asked Jiang Chun and others to come later, and set off with only Qing Lang and a few guards.
Jiang Youzhen and his companions traveled day and night, only stopping to eat during the day. They rested for a total of ten hours, and finally arrived at the capital on the fifth day.
Li Dongsheng glanced at Jiang Youzhen, who was sitting by the stream with a pale face, and couldn't help but admire him sincerely.
Others didn't know, but he knew Jiang Youzhen was a woman. She'd endured such a long forced march, changing horses three times along the way, yet she'd managed to endure it.
But he was a little surprised. Jiang Youzhen was really a natural beauty! After such a long journey, Jiang Youzhen's skin was still fair and tender. Except for her pale face and a little fatigue, she was still so graceful.
Looking at her hands holding the white flour pancake, they were so slender and white that the pancake looked very yellow.
"Actually, there's no point in being anxious. You don't need to work so hard." He couldn't help but sit next to Jiang Youzhen and whispered to her.
"How can I not be anxious? Aren't you anxious too?" Jiang Youzhen swallowed the dry biscuit in his mouth, picked up the water bag and took a sip.
"The change of dynasties is actually a common thing. We just need to relax!" Li Dongsheng sighed.
Jiang Youzhen glanced at him and said, "I'm not anxious about the change of dynasty, but the safety of my family. Who knows if those people dislike me and want to attack my family?"
Li Dongsheng: ...It seems to make sense.
"That's right! You killed so many powerful generals and won a great victory. You caused the Northern Ming Kingdom to suffer a lot of losses. It is natural for them to hate you." Li Dongsheng couldn't help but nodded.
At this time, Qin Yandong saw the two people talking together, and his feet walked over involuntarily.
"There's no need to worry too much about the capital. The Emperor will surely be prepared."
"But what did the Duke say to you?" Jiang Youzhen looked up at him.
The morning light shone on her face. Qin Yandong looked down at him and could still see the fine hairs on his face.
He then remembered that Jiang Youzhen was actually quite young, yet he was already so outstanding. Thinking of how he had dominated the battlefield, he was completely different from the somewhat weak young man in front of him.
He suddenly thought of a rumor that Tong Huaian often followed Jiang Youzhen closely, and they seemed to meet often, and their eyes and behavior were particularly intimate.
Tong Huaian has always declined the marriage arranged by his family, and rumors have spread in Beijing that the two may have a secret relationship.
He didn't think so at first. After all, Tong Huaian usually looked serious and wouldn't wear short sleeves.
But just now, he looked carefully at Jiang Youzhen's appearance, perhaps, those rumors were not groundless?
Especially now that Li Dongsheng has also moved closer to Jiang Youzhen and is often by his side. Is this? Could it be that Jiang Youzhen has a homosexual tendency?
He glanced suspiciously at Jiang Youzhen, who was chewing a biscuit. Crumbs kept falling from the gaps between his slender, jade-like fingers that should have been holding a pen, but his pink nails exuded a charming charm.
Since ancient times, such habits have been common. Even in the capital of the previous dynasty, this trend began to prevail for a period of time, and it was common for slender and handsome young men like this to become attendants.
If it was Jiang Youzhen, then maybe it was possible.
"No! But things have come to this point, there can't be a worse outcome." Qin Yandong replied.
"Let's go!" Jiang Youzhen stood up, having sensed that the puppet had entered the capital last night.
In her mind, she instructed them to go to Jiang Mansion for secret protection, but as soon as she stood up, her vision went dark and she almost fainted.
[Host, the puppet is too far away from you. Furthermore, if you manipulate it for a long time, it will require a lot of mental energy to control, so it will show signs of exhaustion and damage.]
It turns out that it also consumes mental energy. No wonder she felt like her brain was pricked by needles just now.
Li Dongsheng quickly supported her, "I told you to get more rest! We're almost in Beijing anyway, why are you in such a hurry?"
