My old husband who can read minds

Chapter 174 Face to face
"I hope you can let Wei Lin live!" King Yong reported a name without thinking.

Jiang Chen showed an expected smile.

Wei Lin was the third concubine of King Yong, and his talent and character were superior to Wei Xiang. If he had not been born in the belly of a concubine, Wei Xiang would not be able to take the position of Prince Yong's crown prince.

Now that Prince Yong's palace is about to fall, it is only natural for Prince Yong to want to keep the most promising child so that he can revitalize the country in the future.

"Yes! Then use Wei Lin's life in exchange for my mother's body."

As things turned out, Jiang Chen didn't care about King Yong's choice. Anyway, he only came today to destroy King Yong's Mansion.

"Tell me, where did you hide my mother's body?"

King Yong pointed to the Xirong soldiers waiting outside the door, "Unless I see Wei Lin leaving the city safely, I will not rest assured."

Jiang Chen snorted coldly and asked someone to bring Wei Lin over.

"I will give you and your son a quarter of an hour to say goodbye. In a quarter of an hour, someone will take my handwriting and let Wei Lin out of the city."

After that, Jiang Chen walked out of the lobby and went straight to the courtyard where Wei Xiang lived.

There was no emotion or anger on his calm face, but his steps were faster than usual.

When the Xirong guard guarding the gate saw Jiang Chen, he bowed respectfully and said, "I have met Military Advisor Yu."

"Is Mrs. Cui, Prince Yong's wife, inside?" Jiang Chen nodded slightly and asked.

"Yes! I will strictly follow your orders and don't dare to neglect anything."

"Very good! If you take good care of her, I will give you a lot of rewards."

Jiang Chen showed a faint smile that only men can understand, but the two soldiers felt as if they had glimpsed the secret of Military Master Yu.

It turns out that Military Advisor Yu is a hero who has a hard time with beauties. No wonder Shanyu and the second prince offered him tribal beauties several times, but he refused them all. It turns out that he has a unique taste and likes wives.

"Open the door. I have something to ask Mr. Cui."

The four guards smiled at each other with ambiguous expressions. Not only did they close the door, they also moved slightly further away.

Since Prince Yong's Mansion was surrounded by enemy troops, the Cui family had been prepared to die for the country. If female relatives like them did not end their lives as soon as they were captured, the result would be worse than death.

The reason why Cui waited until now was because she hoped that someone would show up and give her an answer.

Hearing the movement outside the door, Ms. Cui tightened her grip on the dagger in her sleeve, which was tempered with poison.

If the person who comes is not him, she will kill him first and then herself.Or if she is really outmatched, she will directly kill herself with a knife, and will never bring shame to the Zhenguo government. "Miss Cui Wu, you are fine."

Jiang Chen walked up to Mrs. Cui and smiled warmly, with an unknown nervousness hidden in his smile.

When she arrived at the person she wanted to see, Ms. Cui's tense mood relaxed. She said coldly, "Finally, Mr. Jiang is here. I have some questions. I would like to ask Mr. Jiang in person. Is that possible?"

"They weren't rude to you, were they?" Jiang Chen carefully looked at the woman in front of him and asked.

Mrs. Cui laughed at herself, "It turns out that my wife has a chance to survive until now because of your care."

Jiang Chen frowned slightly, "I wonder what issue Miss Cui Fifth wants to discuss with me?"

"I wonder what Mr. Jiang plans to do with Prince Yong's Mansion?" Ms. Cui asked the first question.

"Cut the grass and root it out! Except Miss Cui Wu and your men, you have a great kindness to our mother and son, and I am a person who always repays kindness and avenges."

Mrs. Cui was stunned, her eyes pleading, "Can you let those innocent people go?"

"Keeping your master and servant alive is the result of me trying my best to deal with it. For the others, please forgive me and I can't do anything."

Jiang Chen's words were half true and half false. Mrs. Cui was innocent in her heart, so she didn't bother with it.

"After taking Ling'an, is Xirong really going to massacre the city?" Ms. Cui asked her second question. Her lips were trembling when she asked. It was an uncontrollable fear.

Jiang Chen lowered his voice and comforted her, "I have persuaded Yelu Tianqi. As long as the people of Ling'an live up to their stubborn resistance, they will not massacre the city."

He dipped his fingers in tea and wrote the word "Qin" on the table. "This person will come to negotiate peace on behalf of the imperial court soon. He will arrive the day after tomorrow at the latest. At this important juncture, Xirong will not be stupid." To anger Dayong."

Cui's eyes turned red when she heard this, it was out of fear.

"Why did you attack Ling'an on behalf of Xirong? Is it just to avenge your mother's murder, or are you really treason?"

The last question Cui asked was particularly difficult. She was not only asking this question for herself, but also for her grandfather Cui Laoguo, and even for all Dayong people.

For no other reason than because the biological father of the man in front of him was Prince Yixian. If his son rebelled against the country, it would be a devastating blow to the prestige of Dayong.

Jiang Chen did not answer directly, but took a deep look at Ms. Cui and said something intriguing.

"Since Miss Cui Wu is so concerned about this matter, why not cherish your life and continue reading."

Mrs. Cui was thoughtful and her eyes suddenly became clear, "Then I will wait and see."
