Chapter 709 Ah, He Wants to Return to the Capital
Xiao Chen replied: "Shouldn't."
Tao Wenjun's eyes lit up slightly. After hearing his words, she couldn't help but choke up a little and asked again: "Then Your Highness Prince Chen, do you think Tao Wenjun can still survive this time?"
Her reputation has been ruined.
The war may be over, but what about the unfair treatment of women? Is it over?
Even if the Prince of Chen let her live, those people's spit would drown her.
So, she looked at His Royal Highness Prince Chen intently. Is this prince really willing to be a prince under Her Majesty the Empress?
Xiao Chen smiled slightly, looking at the woman's eyes which were down and out but very determined, and said word by word: "You can live, not only can you live, but the world also needs brave girls like you to speak for all the oppressed girls. Even the emperor in the court needs brave girls like you!"
Tao Wenjun opened his mouth wide.
She couldn't even believe that such words came out of a man's mouth. She immediately looked at His Royal Highness Prince Chen and felt that he was handsome - no, His Royal Highness Prince Chen was a rare talent. Only a man like him could be called a real man!
Tao Wenjun looked at Xiao Chen's hand, but she didn't put her hand on it. Instead, she supported herself and climbed up. Then, she bowed to Xiao Chen in a proper manner, "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving my life. Tao Wenjun will remember it in my heart!"
"You are Welcome."
Tao Wenjun nodded, then looked at the crowd of men who opposed the empress's regime in the firelight, and the corners of her lips curled slightly.
She knew clearly that these people were merely being used by traitors like Chang Weihao and Long Xiangfei!
"Sword Five."
Xiao Chen called out, and Jian Wu came out from the crowd, "Your Highness Prince Chen."
"Escort Tao Wenjun home."
As Tao Wenjun opened her mouth to decline, Xiao Chen said, "Don't refuse. You are not safe now. If you believe it, you must stay alive and go to the capital to take part in the autumn imperial examination. The emperor is looking forward to meeting you."
Tao Wenjun was even more surprised.
The emperor is actually looking forward to meeting her, is it true?
Xiao Chen smiled slightly, "Absolutely true!"
"Thank you, Your Highness." She clasped her fists and saluted, then looked at Jian Wu, "Please trouble you, sir."
Jian Wu nodded slightly, "No trouble."
Afterwards, Tao Wenjun left the crowd under the protection of Jian Wu.
Xiao Chen saw that Zhou Yiqing, Yu Tong and others had already begun to control the surrendered people, so he turned and entered the prefectural mansion which was filled with steam and fog like purgatory.
Finally, he found Xie Yunchu in the pavilion next to the waterside pavilion.
He walked over quickly, "Are you okay?"
Xie Yunchu just waved his hands without saying anything until Xiao Chen passed him and looked back at Xie Yunchu. Then his face changed drastically with shock, "You, what are you doing..." Backlash!
"Nothing." Xie Yunchu frowned, looking miserable.
"You said it was okay..."
"I'll rest for a while, and I'll be fine."
Xiao Chen looked at his miserable appearance, and then looked at the governor's mansion which had been burned and filled with smoke, "Let's go to the escort agency."
Xie Yunchu nodded slightly. He now listened to Xiao Chen. He really felt that he had the will but not the ability.
At this moment, he finally understood how powerful Uncle Rong was!
The feeling of needles pricking my heart became more and more uncomfortable, and my body felt like it was being placed next to a charcoal stove, feeling very hot.
After seeing Xie Yunchu's gesture, Chen You, Tang Ju, Zhao Han, Wang Weizhong and others immediately gathered around, "Sir."
Xie Yunchu said: "You guys stay and assist Zhou Yiqing."
"Yes."
Chen You and others clasped their fists, and Xiao Chen helped Xie Yunchu stand up. Everyone was frightened by what they saw, but they could do nothing.
I was just thinking in my heart, if the emperor saw Lord Xie’s pitiful appearance, I wonder how heartbroken he would be?
The Weiyuan Escort Agency is brightly lit.
Su Yun and Xiao Zhenzhen finally waited for Xiao Lusheng to come back, and Yu Hui and others also breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's going on over there? Chen'er, and Yunchu, are they all okay?" Su Yun asked as she handed him a washcloth.
Xiao Lusheng sat down and raised his head, looking like he wanted Su Yun to serve him. Su Yun didn't get angry and wiped his face, "Hurry up and tell me."
Xiao Zhenzhen, who was standing by, hugged her chest and said, "Looking at the look of Father, he must be fine."
Su Yun: "Are you okay?"
Xiao Lusheng nodded, "If something happens, how dare I appear in front of Madam?"
"That's good." She was finally relieved. "You too, don't bring the children back with you."
Xiao Zhenzhen said: "It must be because of Brother Chen. Brother Yunchu and the others still have to deal with some things on the scene, right, father?"
Xiao Lusheng said 'hmm'.
Su Yun glanced at Xiao Zhenzhen, and Xiao Zhenzhen laughed, "Mother, have you finished asking questions?" It was her turn.
Seeing that her mother didn't say anything, Xiao Zhenzhen asked, "Father, where is Zhou Yiqing?"
Xiao Lusheng said: "He has returned to Jinzhou City. I guess he will be busy for a while."
"You're back?" Why didn't he come to see her first when he came back? What an ungrateful person!
What else can you say...
never mind!
Xiao Zhenzhen was a little angry, but then she thought, since he was back, there must be nothing wrong.
Xiao Lusheng looked at his daughter's expression, which was obviously very caring towards Zhou Yiqing, and he seemed a little jealous. "After your father came into the room, only your mother showed concern for him. Sigh..."
"My daughter, this is to see that your father is intact."
Xiao Lusheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "Hiss, ouch, my heart hurts."
Su Yun saw that he was doing it on purpose and asked, "Where does it hurt? Is it serious?"
Xiao Zhenzhen also hurried over, "Father, are you okay? Don't scare us."
Xiao Lusheng covered his chest and paused for a moment before saying, "This time Zhou Yiqing has made great contributions, I'm afraid he will have to return to the capital to be awarded."
Xiao Zhenzhen frowned, her heart in a mess, "Ah, he's going back to the capital..."
"Yes, of course. Otherwise, why would he go to Yu Shiqi to ask for a chance to make meritorious service?"
Ahem, "Yu Tong had been waiting for such a long time for this opportunity, why should he give it to Zhou Yiqing? Why do you think he did that?"
"Why?" Xiao Zhenzhen asked with her cheeks puffed out.
Xiao Lusheng didn't want to point it out. The children were still young. No matter how they made a fuss, he only cared about one thing -
He looked at Su Yun and asked, "Madam, have you been worried these days?"
Su Yun did look a little aggrieved. "That's right. When I think about the fact that the governor's mansion has 3,000 soldiers and you only have a few dozen people, Chen'er, Yunchu, I really can't sleep well for a moment."
"It's me who made Madam worry."
"My husband did this for Chen'er, Yunchu, and Yao'er. I just feel bad for him."
Xiao Zhenzhen watched from the side, biting her lip. She really felt like her ears were callused from hearing what her father and mother said.
"Father, Mother, I'll go down first." She had to find Zhou Yiqing!
Seeing that her father and mother ignored her, Xiao Zhenzhen could only shrug and quietly retreat.
