Chapter 396 The Madam Has the Final Say
Chen Jingyuan slowly stood up, holding on to the damp wall.
With the help of the moonlight coming through the air vent, he could clearly see the tall figure walking into the prison.
The man who came was a general wearing black iron armor, and the tiger-head swallow mouth on the shoulder armor shone coldly in the light of the torch.
The torches tore the shadows of the crowd into monsters with bared fangs and claws.
"Greetings, Commander." The young man's voice was clear, but there was a slight tremor at the end of the tone. "It is indeed me, a humble man, who wishes to see you."
Chen Guangze looked at the young man in the cell who looked weak but had a straight back.
The faintly visible cloud-patterned lining beneath the other person's coarse clothes made him squint slightly.
This kind of material, which is worth every penny, is not something that ordinary people can wear.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" Chen Guangze spoke in a deep voice, his left hand already pressing on the hilt of the sword.
The spies of the Japanese army have always been rampant and must be guarded against.
"Reporting to the commander, my name is Wang Yuan, and I am from Xiejia Village, Nanhu County." Chen Jingyuan unconsciously stroked the jade pendant and swallowed the word "Chen" that was about to come to his lips.
The Miao prince's visit to the Xia border military camp in disguise was bound to cause controversy.
He couldn't reveal his identity, at least not in public: "I came here to..."
Before he could finish his words, the sound of armor colliding suddenly came from outside the prison door.
Hu Wei and He Tian rushed into the cell almost at the same time.
"Young Master, Yang Hui, why are you here?" Hu Wei's voice was filled with excitement.
He Tian also looked incredulous: "Master, why are you at the border? Didn't Madam tell you to go back home?"
"Captain Hu, Captain He, it's great to see you. Take me to my sister quickly. I want to see her right away..."
"General Hu, what's going on? Do you know them?" Chen Guangze was also a little surprised.
Hu Wei finally came to his senses, and the iron wrist guards were jingling when he clasped his fists.
"Commander-in-Chief, this is Madam's biological brother, Wang Yuan. That's Yang Hui, the sworn brother Madam adopted in the capital last year."
Chen Guangze's breathing stopped suddenly. When he untied the rope with his own hands, his rough fingertips touched the scar on the boy's wrist, and he trembled slightly.
The battlefield warrior's bronze face turned red.
"My two lords, I am sorry."
This is the lady's closest relative, but he was arrested and thrown into jail by his people. If the lady blames him in the future, he really cannot afford it.
"Commander, you are too kind." Chen Jingyuan subconsciously stroked his wrist where the rope had left blood marks.
There were still bits of prison grass in his hair. "We are the ones who have trespassed into the barracks... Please forgive us, Commander."
After coming out of the dungeon, the group entered the meeting room under the leadership of Chen Guangze.
As soon as he sat down, Chen Jingyuan couldn't wait to speak.
"Commander, I wonder where my sister is. Is she okay? My father and mother miss her and want to see her."
"Three days ago, I received a letter via carrier pigeon. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his wife have already broken through three cities guarded by the Wo Lie army and are now settled in the Yundu City of the Li Kingdom."
Chen Jingyuan's hands trembled slightly as he took the letter: "How long will it take to get there from here?"
"If there are no other distractions, it will take more than two months to travel by official road." Zhuge Quan unfolded the sheepskin map that was fluttering in the wind.
"But the battlefield is ever-changing. By the time you get there, they might no longer be in Yundu City, so..."
"That's not certain." Hu Wei interrupted Zhuge Quan, "My wife is already seven months pregnant, so the army might be resting in Yundu City."
"What did you say? My sister is pregnant?" Chen Jingyuan stood up suddenly.
His eyes were bloodshot. "Since my sister is pregnant, why did Master let her go to the battlefield?"
At this moment, he was filled with anger towards Crown Prince Zhao Haoxuan.
Even though he is her master, can this relationship be compared with that of her sister?
"Master, it's not like that. It was Madam who insisted on going, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had no choice.
You know, between them, the wife always has the final say." Hu Wei replied in a low voice.
These words shocked all the generals present.
This is the crown prince of their Xia Kingdom and the future king.
And Madam, you don’t even have the title of Crown Princess now, so how can it be that Madam has the final say in the real situation?
The generals exchanged glances and simultaneously touched their swords.
This is the gesture used by border troops to take an oath.
In the future, even if the prince's order is in front of you, you must first determine whether you have hurt the lady's feelings.
After all, you can offend His Royal Highness the Crown Prince but not his wife.
When Chen Jingyuan heard this, he felt that it was indeed the case, and the anger in his heart subsided. He even felt a little pity for his master.
When he grows up, he doesn't want to be like his master. His future princess must listen to him.
"If that's the case, Commander, I'd like to leave for Yundu City tomorrow." Chen Jingyuan bowed and said, "My parents are waiting for news from me at the restaurant. I'll take my leave."
"Young Master, wait..." Hu Wei stopped him immediately.
He looked at Chen Guangze and said, "Commander-in-chief, General He and I both want to go together. I wonder..."
"Alright, I promise you, we'll set out tomorrow morning. I'll give you another 50,000 men, and also take the 2,000 musketeers my lady left here with you. Make sure you keep my lady's parents safe."
Chen Guangze looked serious and began to write the transfer order.
Now it is not a question of whether General Hu and others want to go or not, but they have to go.
The lady is now pregnant and is deeply favored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. One day she will become the mother of the country.
The lady's parents and brothers are royal relatives. As the commander of the border, he has the obligation to protect their safety at all costs.
"Thank you, Commander. But if we transfer so many troops at once, what about the border?" Chen Jingyuan was very moved.
Chen Guangze smiled slightly: "Sir, don't worry, my cultivation has recovered now.
With me here, and Mr. Zhuge's assistance, I believe the Wo Lie army won't dare show its face."
"Okay, then we will set off at noon tomorrow." After thanking Yang Hui, Chen Jingyuan took Yang Hui away from the Xia military camp.
When they returned to their residence, anxious voices were heard in the room.
"Your Majesty, Yuan'er hasn't come back yet. Is he okay? I want to go to the military camp and take a look."
The fingertips of Wang Muyun that were tearing the handkerchief turned slightly white.
Chen Qingfeng's hand holding the sword was cracking with nervousness, but he still comforted her gently.
"Mu Yun, don't worry. Yuan'er hasn't sent us any signals, so he should be safe. Let's wait a little longer."
