Chapter 332: respective plans
Chapter 332 Respective plans
The sky began to light up, and Ruan Youqing was accepting the stormy "accusations" from his father and brother.
"Why are you so courageous! If the people of Guz do something bad to you, what do you tell us to do!" Ruan Ye paced back and forth worried and angry, but he was reluctant to say a word to Ruan Youqing Heavy words, after much deliberation, I could only choose such a sentence and open my mouth.
Ruan Lingjun also frowned tightly, took Ruan Ye's words with a calm face and continued: "The country of Guzi is mysterious and unpredictable. If you have any good or bad, but let our family worry about death."
Ruan Youqing knew that her actions were indeed reckless in their eyes, she dared not speak back, she could only bow her head and admit her mistake with a very good attitude.
She knew that her father and brother were worried that she would be in danger.
Seeing Ruan Youqing's pitiful appearance, Ruan Ye softened his heart without saying a few words. However, Ruan Lingjun still spoke earnestly to Ruan Youqing about how dangerous it would be for her to do so.
Cang La at the side finally couldn't bear to see the Ruan family's father and son regard their Guzi as a scourge, and boldly interjected: "Guzi...isn't as scary as you imagined. The people are simple and kind, and the king is kind and respectful. Sister Youqing is not an ordinary person, so there is no danger."
The two hidden guards sent by Yuyue still didn't say anything, but they looked at Cang La unexpectedly much softer.
Ruan Lingjun frowned slightly, but Ruan Ye smiled at Cangla very kindly: "This little girl is..."
Ruan Youqing didn't know how to answer her identity, so she could only reply cautiously: "She...is...from the country of Guz..."
After finishing speaking, Ruan Youqing pointed to the two cold-faced secret guards sent by Yuyue: "These two... are the people sent by the lord of Guz Kingdom to protect me..."
Ruan Ye made a slightly embarrassed smile: "Uh...sorry..."
Ruan Youqing saw her father's embarrassed face, so she quickly changed the topic and said, "Daddy, now is not the time to talk about Guzi. How long has it been since you and your brother left Changzhou City? Is there still someone guarding Changzhou City? ...Will the Jie people take this opportunity...to attack Changzhou City again..."
Perhaps Ruan Youqing asked too urgently, Ruan Ye couldn't help being a little stunned.
Fortunately, he was only stunned for a moment, and soon, he answered one by one with a solemn expression:
"Leaving Changzhou City... It's been about four days. There are still guards in Changzhou City, and the fourth prince is still in the city. As for whether the Jie tribe will attack Changzhou...they haven't heard from us two days ago, they should I will be scrupulous. But later, once they find that we have not moved... They should be able to guess that neither I nor Ling are in the city. In this way, they will wait and see for another two or three days at most..."
Ruan Ye stopped talking, frowning tightly meant that the current situation was not optimistic.
Although there are soldiers defending the city, they are no match for the barbaric and rampant Jie people.
Some things Ruan Ye didn't say directly, if the Jie tribe started to attack the city, without their father and son guarding, Xinyang and the fourth prince could last at most five days. Moreover, there was not much food and grass in the city, so they came out this time just to get some food and grass. The result... was ambushed by the Jie people.
Thinking of this, Ruan Ye's eyes were full of murderous intent. For the internal response of the Jie tribe in the city, when he returns this time, he will definitely kill him as a warning to others!
"Daddy?" Ruan Youqing called Ruan Ye softly a few times, but he was thinking about something with his head down, so Ruan Ye slowly recovered after Ruan Youqing raised his voice slightly and called again.
「What’s wrong, Xiaoqing?」
The killing intent in Ruan Ye's eyes was quickly replaced by gentleness, but Ruan Youqing still saw it.
It's just that Ruan Youqing didn't delve into this, but looked at Lao Sun and the three of them with a gloomy face.
"Daddy, what are they... going to do with it?"
Ruan Youqing has already told Ruan Ye everything about what these three people and even the whole village did. When Ruan Ye heard Ruan Youqing's question, he couldn't help but rubbed the center of his brows with a headache, and his voice gradually became cold: "Don't talk about human trafficking. They even went so mad that they sold the people of Ningguo to the Jie people. Even... even sold them to the military camp!"
"Please, General! Please, General! We know we were wrong!" The three of them had never been under such coercion, and they burst into tears and begged for mercy.
But Ruan Ye is not the kind of person who is easy to soften his heart, he just took a look at the three of them and then turned his attention back to Ruan Youqing: "Youqing, take them to Dingzhou or Fenglan first, and then they will be locked up and then truthful. Tell the governor there about the situation in this place."
Ruan Youqing looked surprised: "I...go to Dingzhou or Fenglan? What about father and brother?"
"Let's go back to Changzhou." Ruan Ye and his son said in unison.
Ruan Youqing frowned when he saw the two people answering this way, "I don't want it, I want to go back to Changzhou with you."
"Youqing!" Ruan Ye finally put on a serious face: "This is not a joke, you don't know how barbaric the Jie people are. Changzhou City is not safe now, I will never let you take this risk."
When Ruan Youqing heard this, he straightened his expression and said, "Father, it's not true that Youqing can't carry shoulders or hands. Youqing... Youqing is not for the weak."
Ruan Ye shook his head: "Youqing, this is different from your usual squabbles. If you follow back to Changzhou City, it is very likely that you will confront the Jie tribe's army."
"I'm not afraid. And..." Ruan Youqing looked at Ruan Lingjun as if asking for help, and reached out to grab the other's sleeve: "Brother, please tell me, when I was in Jingbian, I helped you guard the Cangmang River !"
Ruan Lingjun, who was originally cold-faced, felt so soft after seeing Ruan Youqing's pitiful appearance.
He could never forget that his sister was bravely guarding the Cangmang River because of him.
But…
This time is different...
After softening his expression, Ruan Lingjun gently touched Ruan Youqing's head before slowly opening his mouth: "Be obedient, take people away obediently. Changzhou City...is really not something you can go to. Jie people are different from Nanting people. It’s the same. Now it’s also different from when you were guarding the Cangmang River. At that time, the two sides did not directly fight, but now...the two sides meet each other from time to time. You Qing, you have never been on a real battlefield, you don’t know the real battlefield How...cruel and terrifying..."
Seeing that her father and elder brother were very determined not to let her go, no matter how urgent Ruan Youqing was, she couldn't prove herself with anything.
I can’t... kill a few people on the spot to prove that she is not just talking on paper...
Sighing heavily, Ruan Youqing lowered his head with a dejected look on his face.
Ruan Ye and Ruan Ling saw that she was no longer arguing, so they relaxed and coaxed their little Jiaojiao gently.
After coaxing Ruan Youqing, everyone began to discuss preparations, and when it was dark and the other villagers fell asleep, they set off.
Ruan Youqing took the old grandson to Dingzhou City first.
And Ruan Ye and Ruan Ling both returned to Changzhou.
Seeing her father and elder brother going to work, Ruan Youqing's eyes darkened, and she already had her own plan in mind.
