C354 Hands

On the other hand, Lin An who was seated at the side looked at Xie Qingrong with surprise, he did not expect Xie Qingrong to have such eloquence, with just a change of tone and expression, he had already taken care of him.

He was wholeheartedly convinced.

However, Xie Qingrong still had not told General Jiang and the rest about the army they saw in the suburbs. Could it be that she still had doubts in her heart about Jiang Yizhou's loyalty and trust?

Just as he was thinking about that, Xie Qingrong's calm voice came out.

"About forty to fifty miles away from the entrance of Jiang Zhou City city, there are troops stationed there. Does Lord Jiang know why those troops are stationed there?"

Xie Qingrong did not tell Jiang Yizhou about her guess, as she was not sure if Jiang Yizhou was loyal to the Heavenly Sage or not. If Jiang Yizhou was planning to rebel, wouldn't she be digging her own grave by telling Jiang Yizhou everything she had heard?

Jiang Yizhou was still immersed in Xie Qingrong's hidden praise just now, when he suddenly heard that there was an army stationed at the entrance of River City.

When did this happen?

Why didn't he get the news?

Although the Crown Princess didn't make it clear who those soldiers were, it gave her some hope.

With a grave expression on his face, he said: "This official does not know the reason why the troops are stationed outside the Jiang Zhou City. The Jiang Zhou City has a total of ten thousand soldiers, and because the war is approaching, this official has already placed all of their troops at various points within the Jiang Zhou City."

"How could there be a new base? The official recklessly guessed that the troops stationed outside the city should be from Army of Chu, and that they would soon attack the Jiang Prefecture. On Time... "When the time comes..."

Saying that, Jiang Yizhou suddenly paused, he did not know how to continue, but he did not know how many troops and horses Army of Chu had actually sent to station outside the city. However, the Jiang Zhou City only had a total of ten thousand soldiers and horses. If they could not wait for the reinforcements to arrive, the Jiang Zhou City would eventually be breached by the Army of Chu.

Until then...

"What are you afraid of?" Xie Qingrong heavily placed the teacup on the table, interrupting Jiang Yizhou from thinking about the consequences that would become even more terrifying.

Jiang Yizhou was frightened by Xie Qingrong's cold tone until he trembled, and said with a trembling voice: "Crown Princess, this official is not afraid. However, this official is worried that once the Jiang Zhou City is broken, the ones who will suffer will be the commoners of the Jiang Prefecture and the common people. "

Although he was headstrong and had great achievements, he knew his limits and knew how to use others.

Hearing Jiang Yizhou's words, Xie Qingrong's cold face actually softened, she chuckled and said: "Lord Jiang loves this people like son, this I truly appreciates and respects you." "But right now, we no longer have a second option. For now, we can only defend the Jiang Prefecture and wait for reinforcements to arrive."

"Yes." Jiang Yizhou said solemnly, his face was gloomy as though he was prepared to go and die at any moment.

Although Xie Qingrong was a lot more at ease, she still did not completely let down her guard.

Just as he was about to speak, a servant ran into the residence and handed a letter to Jiang Yizhou. Jiang Yizhou very observably directly gave the letter to Xie Qingrong.

Xie Qingrong quickly flipped through the contents of the letter and laughed in disdain.

Lin An was a little confused. He took the letter and looked at it, and was extremely shocked by the contents, and glanced at Xie Qingrong with a bit of worry.

The letter first listed the benefits of being in a good relationship, and then mentioned that the person to be in a good relationship with must be the Heavenly Saint's princess consort, Xie Qingrong, otherwise, it would be impossible to even think about a good relationship.

If Xie Qingrong really agreed to go out of the city gate to talk to them, then things would not be good for him.

"What does General Lin think?" Xie Qingrong knew that Lin An was worried about her, and knew that the real reason for the letter was himself, but she still had to pretend in front of Jiang Yizhou.

This battle was inevitable, and she was not prepared to negotiate with the Army of Chu.

The method of negotiation was a simple one.

"This …" Lin An was a little hesitant, he didn't know how to express his thoughts, and kept organizing words in his mind.

Xie Qingrong chuckled, and saw through Lin An's dilemma, and laughed lightly: "General Lin only knows what to say, and doesn't need to care about his identity. Furthermore, I already knows what you have to say, so General Lin only needs to state your views. "

Lin An nodded his head heavily, and then revealed his thoughts, "Crown Princess, this general thinks that the words in this letter are nonsense. If the Army of Chu truly meant it, why would she send someone to deliver a letter?

"Besides, the letter means that their real target is you, the Crown Princess. If you go recklessly, won't you fall into their trap? Furthermore, we, the Heavenly Saints, have never used a woman's life in exchange for the peace of a city. We will never allow the Crown Princess to become such a precedent! "

Xie Qingrong's heart was moved, her eyes unnaturally turned. She knew that there had been many instances in history where a princess had to be married off to another princess, but she had never thought that there would be such a warm feeling in the Heavenly Sage Realm.

Nodding his head, he said, "General Lin, I shares your opinion. "However …" He paused for a moment, and then said with a mocking smile that was not a smile: "Since they so openly invited I, how could I let them down?"

She wanted to see how capable Ye Jiaze was of her.

"I'm afraid there's something wrong with that. The Crown Prince's wife is a girl of a thousand taels. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid the Crown Prince …" Lin An did not finish his words, but everyone present knew what he had said.

If Xuanyuan Chen knew that Xie Qingrong was injured, who knows what kind of consequences that would bring.

Xie Qingrong nodded her head and patted Lin An's shoulders as she comforted him: "Even if I were to injure a single strand of hair, His Highness the Crown Prince is willing to make trouble for you all with I supporting you all!"

Seeing that, Lin An did not try to persuade his anymore. In any case, his opinion would still be refuted by the princess consort, so he decided to follow his plan.

After Xie Qingrong and Lin An bid their farewell, Jiang Yizhou heaved a sigh of relief, collapsed onto a chair, and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

The Crown Princess's aura was way too strong. If she wasn't careful, she could get cut by her sharp eyes.

Seeing that he had nothing else to do, the Mr. Clerk bid farewell to Jiang Yizhou.

However, before leaving, Jiang Yizhou once again reminded the Mr. Clerk, "Regarding the matter that the Crown Prince's consort has entrusted to you, I hope that you can treat it well."

The Mr. Clerk smiled and said unhurriedly: "A man has responsibilities for the rise and fall of this world. Please rest assured, milord. "
