Real Empress from a Noble Family

Chapter 317 - He Was Forced Too Much.

Chapter 317 He Was Forced Too Much.

Jiang Yashuang, who was called back in a hurry, looked at his weeping sister and roaring wife. It took him a long time to find the opportunity to speak, “Brother’s injury is not so bad. This is the news sent the day before yesterday. It’s absolutely true.”

“It was delivered the day before yesterday.” If it weren’t for Jiang Qizheng, Qiu Yelan really wanted to kick him. She said, “If I didn’t know that my brother almost lost his life, you wouldn’t tell me until my brother came back.”

Originally, they had been in a cold war over the matter of Niguang these days. Now because Jiang Yashuang concealed such important news about Qiu Jinglan’s life and death, Qiu Yelan was going crazy.

“I was afraid you would be like this if you knew it.” Jiang Yashuang sighed, “Shazhou is so far away. Even if you knew your brother was in danger, you should just be worried. When my brother left, he repeatedly told me that I must not tell you anything bad, lest you worry about him. If you don’t believe me, ask him when he comes back.”

Jiang Yashuang was so depressed. Every time he hid something about Qiu Jinglan, there would always be sudden destruction by someone. Every time it was the person who he couldn’t punish. Last time, it was Xin Fubing who was not only a cousin but also a princess to him, and this time it was his sister.

This made Jiang Yashuang full of grievances, but he couldn’t speak out. At the moment, he could only pull out his brother-in-law’s request as a shield and hoped his wife would listen to it.

But Qiu Yelan obviously couldn’t listen. She not only couldn’t listen but also became unreasonable. She said angrily, “I don’t care how you promised. It’s not right to hide it from me anyway.”

Jiang Yashuang knew it was not a proper time to say no or admit that he was wrong, “I’m sorry, but I do this for you.”

“You mean well for me, but how do you know?” Qiu Yelan spoke in a high voice, “How do you know...”

“Stop arguing!” Jiang Qizheng stopped crying, wiped her face, and held down Qiu Yelan. She said with a bitter smile, “It’s my fault! I didn’t know that my sister-in-law heard nothing about that.”

She stopped Qiu Yelan, “I didn’t show partiality to my brother. What Jiang Yashuang said was right. Your brother is far away from us in Shazhou now. What can you do if you know that he is in a bad situation? How can we in Jing City help him in Shazhou? Not only the Jiang Family but all that can help your brother certainly will do everything. Jiang Yashuang hid it from you because he doesn’t want you to be worried. Actually, your brother is not good. As your husband, he is also worried about your brother.”

Qiu Yelan couldn’t treat her sister-in-law as fiercely as treating her husband. She had to say, “You are right, but you think about it for me. I only have one brother in all, and my husband hid his news from me. Now I know. I am so sad.”

“I know you have a hard time!” Jiang Qizheng threw down her handkerchief, hugged her, and cried, “My husband went to Shazhou, but hasn’t arrived yet. I’m already in fear.” They couldn’t help crying.

Jiang Yashuang calmed down his elder sister and his wife. He only felt exhausted and feebly asked, “When did my brother-in-law leave? Is he out of the capital now? I’ve just sent someone to chase him. He should still in the capital. He will come back.”

Jiang Qizheng said sadly, “It’s been three or five days. How can he not go out of the capital?”

“What?” Not only Jiang Yashuang was shocked, but Qiu Yelan was also surprised and asked, “Why don’t you come earlier?”

“If he told me that he was going to Shazhou, how could I let him go?” Jiang Qizheng sobbed, “he said that he would go to the suburb farm to stay for two days together with Li Xuan, Xun Yuxi, and other friends. Just now someone brought me with a letter and told me that he had left before.”

Jiang Yashuang and his wife felt very speechless: “As expected, people who get married change. Qiu Feng can cheat people now.”

And he cheated his wife...

“Then I’ll send someone to chase him later if possible.” Jiang Yashuang understood why his sister who had not returned after she got married came today. Visiting Madame Tao was just an excuse. The real purpose was to ask for help to chase her husband back.

However, Jiang Yashuang calculated the distance and thought that no matter how many people were sent, it was impossible to catch up with his brother-in-law.

After all, Qiu Feng was a swordsman from rivers and lakes, and what he was good at was traveling alone. Not to mention Jiang Yashuang’s men, even those from Marquess Qin, might not be able to compare with him in this respect. How could a great swordsman not be proficient in a hard journey?

“I just want to keep my brother safe. Now that my brother-in-law has gone, I can’t make my sister a widow.” Looking at the two women, Jiang Yashuang took a deep breath and suppressed the upset. He said, “Brother-in-law has good martial arts and has been famous in the world for a long time. No matter what situation he encounters, he is able to protect himself. And brother-in-law is not an impulsive person. He has his way since he dares to go to Shazhou.”

Jiang Yashuang looked at Qiu Yelan. The latter said, “Yes, sister. You do not know that. Brother-in-law is very famous all over the rivers and lakes. Although it is said that he has won the reputation by doing good things, there are too many evil people. If brother-in-law is not qualified in martial arts, how could he do so many good things?”

The husband and wife coaxed Jiang Qizheng away. After that, they both felt tired physically and mentally. After sitting for a long time, Qiu Yelan asked, “Really, we can’t help at all?”

Although there was no reason for this, Jiang Yashuang knew it was about Qiu Jinglan. He signed, “I’ll tell you the truth. The Western Army is still under Kuang Shihan’s control. If we can exchange a less important son of the Jiang Family for brother’s safety now, no matter our grandfather or uncle, they won’t hesitate.”

“...” Qiu Yelan said nothing. This truth was more convincing than the promise that the Jiang Family would spare no effort to protect Qiu Jinglan.

The Jiang Family coveted the Western Army and had paid a lot for it. However, it was impossible to control the Western Army without Qiu Jinglan. Even if Kuang Shihan died, the Western Army and the Northern Army were with equal power. Without the help of people who were the heirs of General Ruan, why should they care about the Jiang Family?

Therefore, before the Jiang Family controlled the Western Army, they would do their best.

But even so, Qiu Jinglan was seriously injured.

“My brother’s emissary has secretly contacted several former subordinates of grandfather Ruan, preparing to launch an attack.” Seeing that his wife was silent, Jiang Yashuang thought about it and said in a slow voice, “It’s just that Kuang Shihan is treacherous. Although Kuang Qingwu asked him to send some of his confidants to take part in the pursuit of our brother, he always left enough people to defend his camp. For the time being, there was no chance to do it, but it won’t take long.”

Qiu Yelan asked calmly, “How?”

“One of the powerful tribes in the western savages, the second-biggest tribe after the big Khan’s legitimate tribe, decided to take the risk to attack the commander-in-chief of the Western Army to marry the princess Asemu.” Jiang Yashuang was silent for a long time before he said the news.

Qiu Yelan was stunned and understood immediately. She said, “That tribe really dares to take this risk? Aren’t they afraid of being cheated, surrounded by the army, and slaughtered in exchange for Darui’s military exploits?”

Jiang Yashuang’s face was expressionless. He said, “There is a way to win their trust.”

“...” Qiu Yelan took a breath. She thought that his idea was too crazy. They should collude with the western savages to attack themselves. No matter whether Kuang Shihan was killed by the western savages or by his own mending sword, Darui’s battle against the western savages would definitely be a “big defeat”. If the western savages should take advantage of the situation to invade... The soldiers were like fire. There had been many people playing with fire but hurting themselves since ancient times.

If the news spread, it would be more serious than the Dou Family selling weapons to the western savages. If the Empress Dowager’s party got the evidence, it would be well enough to kill all of the Empress’s party.

But now Qiu Yelan had no mind to think about how mean and dangerous this practice was. Her face was livid and she asked, “Are they forced to this point?”

Although the Jiang Family ordered the Dou Family to sell weapons to the western savages before and they were leading the collusion with the western savages, it didn’t mean that the Jiang Family had a friendly attitude towards the alien races. The Jiang Family started by killing alien races. Although no one from the Jiang Family had died on the battlefield so far, many people with Marquess Qin and Sir Jibei were killed.

Although Sir Jibei didn’t die, he also suffered from the old disease of his battle life.

The wars presided over by the Jiang Family were all against the northern barbarian tribes. When the Jiang Family sold weapons to the western savages for the purpose of attacking Empress Dowager Gu, they still controlled the scale to avoid the defeat of the Western Army and the situation that Xijiang could not be cleaned up. It could be seen the attitude of the Jiang Family towards the western savages was that even if they were used to deal with political enemies, there was still a bottom line.

At this time, the Jiang Family colluded with the western savages. Obviously, there was no way out.

And what was the Jiang Family’s desperate situation? Naturally, Qiu Jinglan’ life. Qiu Jinglan nearly died last time, which made the Jiang Family choose to take risks in desperation.

“My grandfather was very worried when brother got injured last time.” Indeed, Jiang Yashuang said calmly, “So he decided to end the matter with the western savages as soon as possible.”

In fact, Marquess Qin was furious. He smashed his favorite inkstone. The safety of Qiu Jinglan was directly related to the point that whether the Jiang Family could get in touch with the Western Army. And that was the only chance. And this young man was an important link between the Jiang Family and Xue Chang.

In order to ensure the safety of his journey to the west, the Jiang Family invested a lot of manpower and materials, and even many of the elite soldiers who had been cultivated for many years were sent to protect Qiu Jinglan. Marquess Qin had never been so generous to children of the Jiang Family. Why did he do this? To avoid failure!

As a result, Qiu Jinglan almost died.

When Marquess Qin received the news, he called all the people together. He didn’t mention the word “discussion” at all. He ordered to contact the western savages to kill Kuang Shihan. He said, “Since Kuang Shihan is shameless and takes the elite to pursue Chunjun openly, I don’t care to let him take advantage and give him a reputation of dying for this country.”

After listening to Jiang Yashuang’s description, Qiu Yelan was silent for a long time and said, “Then I have nothing to say.”

The Jiang family was already carrying the risk of traitors to save Qiu Jinglan. As Jiang Yashuang said, even for the safety of the Jiang Family’s children, Marquess Qin would not let the family take such a risk. What else could she say?

All people tried their best to help.

“But just like this, my brother is still very dangerous. He was injured recently and almost died. Even if he is alive now, I can imagine the situation. Kuang Shihan has been in charge of the Western Army for more than ten years. Even if Marquess Qin personally presided over the collusion with the western savages, he was in Jing City. In case it fails, I have to do something. ” Qiu Yelan bit her lips and gradually clenched her hands in the sleeves, “At the beginning, I feel that what Empress Dowager Ye did was superfluous. I didn’t expect to use that so soon.”

She sent Jiang Yashuang away and called Su He to come to her alone. She said, “There’s something that concerns our lives, and even we can’t have a good reputation after death. I need you to do it.”

Su He was stunned at first and then she said seriously, “My lady, please tell me. I’ll never admit that it’s your order.”
