In order to save himself, the prince summoned 100,000 dragon riders at the start.

However, with his keen eyesight, he instantly noticed the charming allure between Jiang Qianning's brows.

Jiang Shicheng sighed inwardly.

At his age, how could he not know what that charming look represented?

"Qian Ning, you've suffered so much..."

Jiang Shicheng's hands trembled as he stroked Jiang Qianning's back.

next to.

Lu Yuan stood to the side, feeling somewhat awkward.

peat.

Jiang Qianning is crying like this, it's like I've been abusing her!

So what if I hit her with a small stick in the middle of the night?

"Ahem. Qian Ning, could you please step outside for a moment? Uncle Jiang and I have some things to discuss."

Lu Yuan pretended to cough and said.

“…”

"it is good!"

Jiang Qianning is very obedient.

Hearing Lu Yuan speak, she hesitated only slightly before reluctantly leaving the house.

The two men looked at each other with different expressions as Jiang Qianning slowly walked out of the room.

At this moment, Jiang Shicheng suddenly said in a low voice:

"Kid, take good care of Qian Ning, don't mistreat her."

"I will, you don't need to remind me."

Lu Yuan replied calmly.

He then sat down on a stool with an air of authority and said to Jiang Shicheng:

Uncle Jiang, now that we're family, I won't beat around the bush.

"I am about to lead a large army to set off, and I still want you to continue to be the city lord of Beiyang City."

Lu Yuan had originally been thinking about who should be sent to guard Beiyang City.

But now I feel that it's completely unnecessary!

Once we entered the Central Plains, there were countless places to conquer and seize territory.

Surely I can't send troops to guard every place?

The number of soldiers under my command is not enough!

Since that's the case, why not just hand this mess back to Jiang Shicheng?

Anyway, he has Jiang Qianning in his hands, so he doesn't think she would dare to betray him easily!

Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Jiang Shicheng was somewhat surprised and looked at Lu Yuan suspiciously.

"Oh? Nephew Lu, are you joking with me?"

"Are you really willing to return Beiyang City to me and let me be its lord?"

Lu Yuan poured himself a cup of tea and said with a smile:

"Why not?"

"He was just the lord of Beiyang City, and the garrison was wiped out."

"Returning it to Uncle Jiang is just a small token of my appreciation."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shicheng was stunned for a moment, and gave Lu Yuan a deep look.

Is this kid up to some mischief again?

Beiyang City was the capital of Liangzhou Prefecture.

It is unique in both its geographical location and political significance.

The other side worked so hard to take it, how could they give it back to us so easily?

At this moment, Jiang Shicheng seemed to suddenly think of something, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"Hehe, Nephew Lu, you've returned the position of city lord to me, I'm afraid you have other motives, don't you?"

A hint of mockery appeared on Jiang Shicheng's face.

It must be said that Jiang Shicheng was quite capable to become the lord of Beiyang City.

He roughly guessed Lu Yuan's purpose.

He just wanted to get himself on his pirate ship!

Lu Yuan's decision to reinstate him as the Lord of Beiyang City was undoubtedly a message to the world.

Jiang Shicheng has already pledged allegiance to Lu Yuan!

Jiang Qianning followed Lu Yuan, which undoubtedly confirmed their relationship even more!

Even if things change in the future, he won't be able to explain himself!

......

Seeing that Jiang Shicheng seemed to have guessed his intentions, Lu Yuan shrugged indifferently.

"Whatever you think."

"Anyway, you have no choice but to become the Lord of Beiyang City, whether you like it or not!"

"I'm just informing you, not discussing it with you."

Lu Yuan's unexpected confession caught Jiang Shicheng completely off guard.

He never expected that Lu Yuan's threat would be so blatantly undisguised!

They completely shut him up!

Jiang Shicheng opened his mouth, then gave a bitter laugh and said, "Do I really have any other choice?"

"Hehe, Uncle Jiang is quite sensible!"

Lu Yuan chuckled softly and glanced at Jiang Shicheng.

"I just hope Uncle Jiang won't let me down."

"otherwise...."

Lu Yuan stopped short of making a point, but the threat in his words was self-evident!

"Alright, I won't disturb your father-daughter reunion any longer."
