Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

"Zhao Hai, who sent this, An'er? Is An'er in their hands?"

Qin Zhaohai had a gloomy face and was completely lost in his own thoughts, so he didn't hear what she said at all.

Seeing that he remained silent, Yan Niang desperately shook his arm, "Zhao Hai, Zhao Hai, tell me, who sent this?"

Qin Zhaohai was shaken back to his senses by her. Thinking that the woman in front of him was his beloved, his attitude softened. "Someone from North City sent it here."

"Not only An'er, but also Jiang Chun'an is in their hands now."

When talking about Jiang Chunan, Qin Zhaohai's gaze stayed on Yan Niang.

When Yan Niang heard the name, she paused and murmured, "Chun...Chun'an..."

Qin Zhaohai noticed the change in her expression, withdrew his gaze, pulled the corner of her clothes out of her hand, and said "hmm" lightly.

"He..." Yan Niang suddenly realized that she had lost her composure and did not ask the rest of the question.

Instead, he changed the subject and asked, "Why did the people from North City want to arrest An'er?"

"What do you think?" Qin Zhaohai's tone at this time was no longer as affectionate as before.

If you listen carefully, you can hear a hint of anger.

Yan Niang knew that he was becoming suspicious again.

Qin Zhaohai is like this. Whenever he mentions Jiang Chunan, his expression suddenly changes.

"What? Are you missing him again?" Qin Zhaohai's cold voice came.

Yan Niang forced out an unnatural smile, "How...how could that be? I am your woman now, how could I still think about other men?"

Qin Zhaohai sneered, "Humph, I hope what you said is true. Okay, I'll take care of An'er's affairs, you go and rest!"

Yan Niang bowed and walked out, and only after leaving the main hall did she dare to let out a long sigh.

At this moment, his body seemed to lose all strength and he staggered back to the room.

He waited until the door was closed before curling up with his back against the door.

People around her just thought that she chose to follow Qin Zhaohai in such an anonymous way because she loved him.

Only she herself knew that she had approached Qin Zhaohai because of Jiang Chunan.

If she had met him later, would everything have been different?

If it wasn't for saving Jiang Chunan, whose life or death was unknown on the battlefield, she would not have given up her relationship with him and chosen to follow Qin Zhaohai to such a remote place.

Yan Niang leaned against the door, crying silently.

Thinking of her An'er and Jiang Chun'an, her heart ached.

He saw the box just now. Although it was just a glance, she could still see the blood seeping out of the cloth bag clearly.

She didn't dare to think about what was inside.

After crying for a long time, she stood up, wiped her face with her sleeve, walked to the bed and lay down with her clothes on.

This night, Qin Zhaohai rarely stayed in her room.

When I woke up early in the morning, Qin Zhaohai had already left.

The place in the main room where the wooden box was originally placed was empty, and An'er's jade pendant was also missing.

Yan Niang sat on the stool in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

Talk about the other side.

Qin Zhaohai took the box sent to him by the deputy general and went to Liangzhou overnight.

As soon as he stepped into Liangzhou Prefecture, he smelled a faint smell of blood. The smell of blood was even stronger in the courtyard where the deputy generals lived.

It was too dark to see if there was any blood on the ground, but from the strong smell, I could guess that something must have happened here.

When he arrived, Jiang Chunan's deputy general was already lying on the bed.

His eyes were wide open, without a trace of sleepiness.

Hearing the sound of someone falling to the ground, he jumped up from the bed in fear and touched the sword beside the bed, "Who?"

Qin Zhaohai appeared in front of him in a flash.

Seeing his legs trembling, a trace of disdain appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Why did your parents send you to the battlefield when you are so cowardly?"

When the deputy general heard his voice, his body softened and he knelt beside the bed.

"grown ups."

He didn't know who the person in front of him was, but he always appeared in front of them mysteriously.

Every time he just watched from a distance, this was the first time I spoke to him at such a close distance.

Whenever he came in the past, the general would always send them all away.

But every time he left, their general's face would be unhappy for several days.

Uncle Chu once told them that they must be respectful when they see him. This is a death order and no one can disobey it.

If Li Tianze had not given them his contact information this time, he would probably never have the honor of meeting this adult in his life.

Qin Zhaohai found a stool in the room and sat down. He poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip before saying to him, "Get up!"

The deputy general stood up by holding the edge of the bed.

"come over."

The deputy general slowly approached him with trembling legs.

"Tell me, what else did those people say to you?"

The deputy general trembled and said, "No, no more. It's all explained in the letter."

Qin Zhaohai really didn't want to look the person in front of him in the face. He was too cowardly.

He is not even as good as his son Qin Zihao, whom he despises the most.

Without even raising his eyelids, he asked, "How many days has your general been missing?"

"It's been three, three or four days."

Qin Zhaohai calculated in his mind the time Qin Suian had been missing.

Unfortunately, according to this calculation, it should be about the same time.

It looks like this was premeditated.

As for why we do this.

His gaze fell on the distant mountains.

Haha, I really didn’t expect that. He thought he was more skilled than them and had captured their people.

Unexpectedly, before he could use the people he captured, three of them were lost.

Although he didn't care about Jiang Chun'an and General Xihu, Qin Sui'an was his most promising son and he had to save him.

"Okay, retreat!" With such a deputy general, it is impossible to win this battle.

It seems that I really underestimated Beicheng before.

I thought that if we combined our strength, we could easily take it down, or at least make them suffer a lot. But I didn't expect...

Forget it, I still need to think about the matter with Beicheng carefully.

Thinking of the arrogant words in the letter.

Don't get angry anywhere.

Because his beloved son was in their hands, he was unable to do anything for a while.

He flicked his sleeves, and the deputy general left with a look.

It was as if he had forgotten that this room originally belonged to him.

Standing outside the door and being blown by the cold wind, I remembered that I was just in my own room.

Looking at the closed door, he finally didn't dare to push it open again. He hugged himself and ran towards the yard of Deputy General Xihu.

Qin Zhaohai sat in the room, with his left hand in a claw shape on his forehead, and his thumb and middle finger kept rubbing his temples on both sides.

He felt unwilling!

Before, he was thinking that the army would attack the city, and since he had hostages in his hands, the North City would eventually surrender.

Now.......

After an unknown amount of time, he left a letter on the table and disappeared.
