Chapter 198 Can I trust you?
Chapter 198 Can I trust you?
For some reason, he blurted out these words.
"What's the purpose of meeting him?"
The man sat up, holding his chest. He looked at Mu Qingyan for a while, and then looked at the man in front of him, "Can I trust you?"
Mu Qingyan smiled, "Obviously, you have no other choice but to trust us... If we can't help you, then you won't be able to see King Ling in your lifetime."
Besides, it seems too late to worry about whether I can believe it now.
If they had any intention to harm him, he would have been dead long ago.
This man thought the same thing in his heart. Along the way, they had many opportunities to take things from him, but every time he woke up from a trance, the things were still in his hands.
If he was really in cahoots with those who were hunting him, he wouldn't be alive today.
"Please, I have something really important to tell you. I need to see King Ling!" He looked pleading. If his body allowed it at this moment, he would kneel down and beg.
He looked at Mu Qingyan and said, "Girl, I know you are a capable person. This is related to the people of Yingzhou. Please help me..."
Yingzhou?
Yingzhou is adjacent to Yongzhou. Could it be that King Yong wants to do something to the people of Yingzhou?
"How can we help you if you don't tell us?"
"But, this is about our country, I, I have to meet Prince Ling before I can tell him..."
Ah Shang wanted to slap him in the face, "Did you lose too much blood and your brain also flow out? The one in front of you is my prince. Can't you see his temperament and momentum?"
Ah Shu kicked him mercilessly upon hearing this. He howled and hugged his legs, "Why did you kick me?"
Ah Shu pulled the man away without saying anything, "You are the only smart one, hurry up and leave!"
The door was closed.
Seeing that he hadn't spoken yet, Mu Qingyan said, "Do you need me to leave? Then I'll go out first..."
The man hurriedly said, "Young lady, please don't leave. I only trust you. How can you prove that he is King Ling?"
Mu Qingyan put her hands on her hips and said, "If I had known, I would have given you a shot to wake you up before letting them carry you in, so that you could see the plaque of Prince Ling's Mansion. Otherwise, I would have asked them to carry you out to have a look now."
Prince Ling laughed, "No need to go through so much trouble..."
He pulled off the jade pendant from his waist, grabbed the rope, and let the jade pendant slip out of his palm.
The crystal clear jade pendant swayed in front of the man's eyes.
He clearly saw the word "Ye" engraved on the jade pendant.
This is the name of Prince Ling.
Such a thing that represents status must be carried with you day and night.
"My name is Yunhua. I am the adopted son of an old servant in the Yingzhou prefectural government. Half a year ago, a group of soldiers suddenly came to Yingzhou and took control of the entire city. Even the prefect became a puppet. Later, the able-bodied men in the city disappeared one after another, and they have never appeared since their disappearance. Now, only the elderly, the weak, women and children are left in Yingzhou. Later, the prefect accidentally learned that a huge iron mine was discovered in Yingzhou, and all the missing able-bodied men were captured to mine. The blacksmiths in the city were also captured. They were forced to smelt ore and forge weapons. If they disobeyed, they would be beaten severely. What's worse, some were beheaded on the spot..."
"Everyone knows that the mineral veins belong to the imperial court. Mining without permission is a capital crime, and making weapons without permission will result in the extermination of all nine generations of the clan."
"The prefect has been stripped of his power and can no longer mobilize any soldiers. Even the servants in the government office have been arrested. He himself has been placed under house arrest in the government office, like a prisoner."
I never thought that King Yong could be so crazy! He even blatantly controlled officials and people! It was simply lawless!
"Since Yingzhou City has been controlled, how did you escape?"
"My mother is a famous female doctor in the surrounding area. In order to find medicinal herbs, she has traveled almost all over the mountains of Yingzhou. I was found by her in the deep mountains... Our family lives in a very remote mountain village outside Yingzhou City. My parents never let me go out since I was a child, so few people know of my existence. They used their familiarity with the terrain to draw the approximate location of the mine. My mother entered the city on the pretext that someone wanted her to see a doctor, sneaked into the prefectural government, got the seal and memorial of the prefect, and asked me to find a way to send it to Kyoto and hand it over to Prince Ling..."
At this point, he suddenly became very excited. "Your Highness, you must save the people of Yingzhou! No matter if they are blacksmiths or strong men, those who have been captured can only be carried out. In order to cover up the truth, they have begun to massacre the unarmed old, weak, women and children in the city from time to time. Now Yingzhou City is like a hell on earth..."
"My parents took me with them overnight and climbed over five mountains in order to get me to pass on the message... They were so tired that they could no longer walk, so they sent me to the road closest to Kyoto... I was being chased along the way, and they were afraid that the message would leak out, and they would already... already be in trouble..."
Yunhua's emotions were revealed and she couldn't help sobbing.
Prince Ling has stood up. "I will go to the palace to see the emperor. You can arrange the rest. I'm afraid I will have to deal with the Yingzhou issue myself..."
Mu Qingyan held him back, "Didn't you say that Prince Yong has always lacked a reason to rebel? Let's give him a good reason! Don't go to Yingzhou. Let my uncle and his men go. Once Prince Yong's men leave Yongzhou and stabilize Yingzhou, we will raid his base camp and cut off his escape route!"
Prince Ling thought about it for a moment and understood what she meant.
"it is good!"
"This is a medicine that can make people hold their breath temporarily. I have improved it to give Prince Yong more time to prepare!"
Prince Ling took the medicine, took the things Yunhua handed over, and hurriedly disappeared into the night.
After the people left, Mu Qingyan sighed and said, "Yunhua, your good fortune is still to come. Take good care of your injuries. Before we have the next arrangement, you'd better not leave this house, otherwise, we can't guarantee your safety."
Seeing that she was about to leave, Yunhua hurriedly asked, "Miss, may I ask your name... How should I thank you in the future?"
Mu Qingyan turned around and said, "You want to ask my sister's name, right? You want to see her?"
Yunhua was exposed and felt a little embarrassed, "Girl, how do you know..."
Mu Qingyan did not tell him directly, but said, "It's getting late today, I have to go back home, but I will remember to ask her if she is willing to come to see you. If she is willing, let her tell you herself. If she is not willing, it means that you two are not destined to be together..."
Yunhua lowered his head and smiled bitterly. Fate? He didn't seem to have thought of going that far...
But, in his heart, he still wanted to see that girl...
After the things were delivered to Kyoto and he met King Ling, his mission was completed. His luck was really good. As soon as he arrived in Kyoto, he met a noble person!
