The whole family escaped from famine and accidentally occupied land

King Yan's face turned serious, "Are you sure? Do you know what this means?"

The Prince of Yan had only one wife, the Princess of Yan, and no concubines or other wives, let alone a maid.

The couple has two sons and one daughter, and Jiang Chi is their second child.

"I'm sure!" Jiang Zhu rolled up the picture and placed it next to King Yan. "After all, I am your nephew, not your biological son."

This great general will have to be returned to someone else sooner or later.

He had a premonition that his stepmother would not give up and that Yuzhou would be his battlefield.

Jiang Zhu's face was hidden under the mask, and King Yan could not see his expression clearly.

"Azhu, why is it so sudden? Did someone say something to you?" King Yan looked concerned. "You know, I have treated you as my own son for so many years."

"Uncle, I know all this," Jiang Zhu's eyes were slightly red, "Things will not go peacefully in Yuzhou. The Zhao Palace...is not a pushover either."

He had been in Yanzhou for more than ten years and had long regarded the King and Queen of Yan as his parents.

Years of family affection are not fake.

Because of this, he could not cause trouble for Prince Yan's Mansion.

Yanzhou is now under attack from all sides, winter is about to come, and foreign tribes are about to cross the border to rob things. There are too many things to pay attention to.

If the people in Yuzhou refuse to give in and the emperor resorts to some shady tactics, the Prince of Yan's Mansion will be in danger.

It would be better for him to go back to Yuzhou and stay under the supervision of Princess Xian, so that the Prince of Yan's Mansion can be more peaceful.

Now that Princess Xian knows his identity and that he is in Yanzhou, she may not necessarily resort to any dirty tricks.

Even if the Zhao Palace has declined, it is still a royal family of a different surname and has military power in its hands.

King Yan lowered his head and remained silent for a while.

"How can Chi'er, a girl, convince the public?" King Yan was skeptical.

Jiang Chi had always been a troublemaker in the palace, and she would beat the guards until they were bruised and blue.

The princess didn't know, but he knew it clearly.

Jiang Zhu was a little surprised after hearing what King Yan said, "Uncle, Chi'er is slightly inferior to me in martial arts, but she is smart and ruthless, so she is better than my cousin!"

"Slightly inferior to you? Is she that powerful? The man who took her away back then didn't look like an expert!"

It is hard to describe what happened back then in a few words.

King Yan did not care about Jiang Chi’s master, as long as his daughter could live well.

"You don't know?"

"I didn't have time to think about that back then! Chi'er almost died, and I was just trying to save the situation."

King Yan sighed, looked outside the tent, and gave Jiang Zhu a wink.

Jiang Zhu understood. He knew that Jiang Chi was outside and was a little reserved.

"So, you and your aunt didn't send Chi'er away just for your cousin?"

Yan Wang gave him a thumbs up and continued:

"How could it be! If I hadn't sent Chi'er away, the poison in her body would never have been cured."

"Poison?" Jiang Zhu was really curious this time. He had never heard of these things before.

"At that time, your aunt had just given birth, and your child was not even a month old, and Prince Li's men sneaked into the mansion."

King Yan took a deep breath and recalled with half-closed eyes, "Chi'er protected your aunt from the disaster. She was poisoned, and your aunt was injured because of it. She can no longer get pregnant."

Jiang Zhu listened carefully. It was the first time he heard these things.

These things happened before he came to Yanzhou.

"I see. No wonder my aunt often sighs and hates herself for not living up to her expectations."

King Yan's eyes were unfocused, and his tone was a little sad. "At first, everyone said Chi'er would not survive. When Chi'er was about to die, a woman came to the door and said she had a way to save her."

Jiang Chi was taken away just like that, and he was gone for more than ten years.

"Are you at ease?" Jiang Zhu asked. The King of Yan and his wife were people who valued friendship and loyalty, and it was impossible for them to ignore their own flesh and blood.

"So what if I'm worried! If you don't let me take you away, I'll be dead. I can only let someone follow me secretly."

Prince Yan looked depressed. He was young at that time and did not handle things carefully, which eventually allowed Prince Li to take advantage of him.

Every time the couple went to visit, they could only go to the foot of the mountain and were not allowed to enter the mountain.

Donations of money and supplies were useless and were directly blocked by Jiang Chi's master.

They have met each other every year over the years.

"In that case, my uncle should have been returned, right?" Jiang Zhu understood the revengeful nature of the King of Yan.

"Of course, giving Prince Li a beautiful concubine will make his backyard restless and his children numerous."

Unfortunately, that beautiful girl died in the end and was no longer able to stir up trouble in Prince Li's backyard.

Jiang Zhu understood and didn't think there was anything wrong.

Sometimes, the tactics used in the backyard are more effective than real fighting.

"Gone!" Jiang Zhu had been paying attention to the outside, and Jiang Chi's breath had disappeared.

Prince Yan slumped down on the chair, seemingly without strength, and spoke in a hoarse voice, "Azhu, do you think Chi'er's knot will be untied?"

"Will do!"

Jiang Zhu didn't think twice. He still had high hopes for Jiang Chi and began to speak for her. "Uncle, even though Chi'er is a girl, she is not spoiled at all. She is better than her cousin."

The Prince of Yan laughed and scolded: "You kid, you still hold a grudge! Your cousin was also a rude person at that time. Besides, our friendship over the past ten years is no different from that of father and son. You can inherit the Prince of Yan's Mansion, so why not!"

Jiang Zhu turned his head away and said nothing.

His eyes were fixed on King Yan, and some indescribable emotions were stirring in his heart.

Like father and son? Indeed, he received fatherly love from the King of Yan.

Unfortunately, things are different now...than in the past!

Jiang Zhu didn't take the joke seriously. "Uncle, you have just checked the grain in the warehouse. When will it be shipped to Yanzhou?"

"Leave it here for now, let's talk about another matter first." King Yan waved his hand to stop him from talking about the grain storage. "My brothers have set me up this time. Ah Zhu, what do you think?"

Jiang Zhu raised his eyelids slightly, "Uncle, do you want to vent your anger?"

"Of course, I can't move the one on the dragon throne, so I have to vent my anger on these two princes who are just like me!"

The Prince of Yan was indeed unwilling to accept this, as his entire family was almost wiped out.

He didn't want to experience this empty feeling again.

"I do have an idea," Jiang Zhu whispered to the King of Yan, "Let's pretend to move the grain from the warehouse to Mingzhou to arouse the King of Li's suspicion and let the two of them fight each other."

"Okay, you black-hearted boy, you are amazing." Prince Yan was smiling happily at this time and never mentioned the matter of Jiang Chi returning to Prince Yan's Mansion again.

Jiang Zhu felt a little disappointed, but ultimately did not show it.

After all, they are not father and son!

After sending Prince Yan away, Jiang Zhu also began to make intensive preparations to let Prince Ming and Prince Li fight each other so that Prince Yan could gain benefits.

"General, is this really necessary? Are you going to just abandon all these things you have fought so hard for and go back to Yuzhou?"

Changhe felt a little reluctant to leave. Everything here was gained by the general with great effort. It was not easy at all.

"Don't rush back. Pluck out Zhao's minions first before returning."

Jiang Zhu is not a pushover and will always fight back.
