Chapter 1512 - 1507: Sending Shuangshuang and Cheng Dagang Off from Xing City
Mu Shuangshuang nodded knowingly and thanked him, "Le’er is so good!"
A word of praise made Cheng Le blush.
He lowered his head, ran to Wang Guilan’s side, and hid behind her.
Afraid of being seen by Mu Shuangshuang, looking like that, it was somewhat amusing.
Mu Shuangshuang casually opened the letter, and after reading it, her expression immediately turned from relaxed to grave.
"Shuangshuang, what does the letter say?" Lu Yuanfeng crowded over.
Xing Beichen and Cheng Dagang also looked eager to know.
Mu Shuangshuang handed the letter to Lu Yuanfeng.
"Fengzi, you take a look!"
Lu Yuanfeng was about to say that he couldn’t read, when Mu Shuangshuang said, "It’s a picture, you can understand it!"
Only then did Lu Yuanfeng take up the letter. There were two scenes on it.
One was outside a wall with many people holding long spears, charging toward the city gate.
The other scene showed a woman, carrying a bundle, trying to escape the city!
Apart from that, there’s nothing else.
"Fengzi, what are you looking at? Let me have a look too!" Xing Beichen crowded over.
After seeing the drawings on the letter, he looked confused.
"What is this, could it be a joke on you, Shuangshuang?!"
Cheng Dagang also came over and was equally puzzled after looking at it!
It wasn’t until Mu Shuangshuang got the letter back that she started to speak, "These pictures are actually very simple! Two scenes, the first is soldiers approaching the city. The second is a woman with a bundle, about to escape.
It actually means that the Wei Kingdom’s Ye City troops will soon attack Xing City, and I need to leave immediately!"
"Ah, so that’s what it means!" Xing Beichen suddenly understood.
Cheng Dagang also nodded along.
"But who delivered this letter? Why was it sent solely to you, Shuangshuang? And this is news we don’t even know, how did this person find out?" Xing Beichen was full of doubts.
Mu Shuangshuang glanced at Lu Yuanfeng, wanting to ask if he wanted to reveal this matter.
Lu Yuanfeng signaled Mu Shuangshuang with his eyes not to say anything for now, at least until some things were confirmed.
"A friend! His information is unlikely to be wrong, Ye City is likely making a move!" Mu Shuangshuang said.
"Senior, you should pack your things today, and leave Xing City with Shuangshuang tomorrow!" Lu Yuanfeng said.
After speaking, he looked at Wang Guilan’s family, "There’s going to be a tough battle in Xing City soon, Aunt, do you want to leave with Shuangshuang?"
"Aunt Wang, this matter is entirely voluntary! If you are willing to join us, I assure you that your future life will not be worse than it is now!
If you’re willing to stay, the shop and business will still be yours to manage, you just need to share the profits with me on time!" Mu Shuangshuang said.
After hearing Mu Shuangshuang’s words, Wang Guilan was filled with confusion.
Xing City is her home, her man died here.
Her ancestors were all here!
If she leaves...
Wang Guilan’s hesitation did not mean that Cheng Le would hesitate.
He grabbed Wang Guilan’s hand, "Mom, didn’t you say wherever Sister Shuangshuang goes, we’ll go too?
Even though this is where Yingzi and I were born, we both want to go out and see! See the world outside."
To the north of Xing City lies endless desert.
To the south of Xing City is a stretch of mountain roads, Cheng Le has never seen the outside world, and neither has Cheng Ying.
"Alright, Mom agrees with you!" Wang Guilan nodded.
With this, the candidates to go back to the county were decided.
Mu Shuangshuang was still somewhat worried, after all, a war was imminent, and once she left, Fengzi and Xing Beichen would have to stay.
"Fengzi, Beichen, I’m afraid General Wen is still a problem, I think we should discuss this thoroughly." Mu Shuangshuang said.
Cheng Dagang also nodded in agreement, "I’ll go talk about this matter, no matter what, that kid has to give me, his uncle, some face!"
Since they were leaving the next day, after dinner Cheng Dagang went straight to the General Mansion, despite the darkness.
Along the way, no one stopped him, even at the General Mansion, the subordinates were very accommodating; it must have been Wen Nantian’s instructions.
After being announced by the deputy general, it didn’t take long for Cheng Dagang to meet Wen Nantian in the study.
At that moment, Wen Nantian looked exhausted, not very spirited.
Probably because ever since Wen Xiaoya was captured, he had been too distracted to eat or drink!
"Uncle, you are here? Ya’er has already returned, there’s no need for you to worry anymore!" Wen Nantian acted as if Cheng Dagang didn’t already know what had happened, and chatted about trivial things.
Cheng Dagang’s brows furrowed slightly after hearing him.
"Nan, you’ve changed!" Cheng Dagang stated.
His words made Wen Nantian’s face change.
"Is it because of the way I treated those two kids, that you say this to me?
But Uncle, have you considered things from my perspective? Ya’er is my only daughter, if something happened to her, how would I live?" Wen Nantian questioned Cheng Dagang!
"If she’s your treasure, you should send her to the Capital, where there is no war. Keeping her here, is it really for her sake?"
Cheng Dagang directly pointed out Wen Nantian’s problem.
Wen Nantian was left speechless by his words.
But then he heard Cheng Dagang say, "Nan, I’m leaving Xing City tomorrow! Today I’ve come to give you some advice!
A general is not just a general for one person, but for thousands of soldiers, for the entire Da Ning Dynasty!
Every decision you make concerns the life and death of thousands of soldiers! And each of them has a father and a mother!
They’ve come here for a living, to defend the country, and most importantly, to earn meritorious achievements! Just like you did once, coming to this Xing City alone!
Those two kids are like the younger you, you were given opportunities, why won’t you give them the same opportunity?"
Cheng Dagang was about to leave, feeling some sadness as Wen Nantian showed that he wasn’t.
Yet, realizing that his own uncle came all the way here just for Xing Beichen and Lu Yuanfeng, he also felt a twinge of bitterness!
An uncomfortable feeling!
"Nan, this is the only time your uncle asks for something in this life, except for your aunt. This time, consider it as my request, give those two kids an equal chance! Let them have a chance to make a name for themselves, can you?" Cheng Dagang asked.
Wen Nantian stayed silent for a long time before finally nodding.
"Uncle, I understand, I will do as you say!"
Wen Nantian breathed a sigh, and from Cheng Dagang’s perspective, this matter was resolved!
Lu Yuanfeng and Xing Beichen would be reinstated!
Yet, can it really be achieved?
"Oh right, Uncle, just you leaving this time?" Wen Nantian suddenly asked.
"No, Shuangshuang will go with me! She’s been here long enough, it’s time for her to return and serve her parents!"
"Hmm!" Wen Nantian nodded with a smile on his face.
But inside, he felt this was his daughter’s chance!
With that woman gone, everything would be simpler!
