C737 737 mad old man

Yan Shuo pinched the center of his brows, calming himself down, he said: "Tell me more details."

"Yes."

The minister wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Your majesty, this group of pirates are stationed on the island in the middle of the sea. They are vicious and their movements are quick and fast. They are very familiar with the terrain of the sea."

At the end of his speech, the Minister of War's sweat had drenched his entire back. It could be seen that Kaiser had been very annoyed recently.

"You mean we can't do anything to these thieves."

"…"

The minister didn't dare to say anything. He just hung his head low and kept quiet.

Yan Shuo's gaze landed on the other court officials, "What about you guys, did you think of anything?"

The courtiers and officials looked at each other in dismay. How could they, the civil officials, do anything about something that even the generals could not?

"Your Majesty, I'll lead the troops."

Yan Yuan who was standing in the front suddenly opened his mouth, causing everyone's gaze to turn towards him.

"Royal Uncle, you're going to personally lead troops over?"

"Yes."

Yan Yuan nodded his head, "A few years ago, I led my troops in water battles, so I have some experience compared to the other generals."

Hearing Yan Yuan's words, Yan Shuo remembered that when Yan Yuan was seventeen, he had led his troops to fight with the small country's Xuanxuan who was on the edge of the sea beside the Easternum. Because the Profound Destroying Nation was on all four sides, facing the sea, he relied on the advantage of the terrain to provoke the imperial government.

In these ten years, Profound Destroying Nation became a vassal state of the Easternum.

"Alright, how many soldiers does royal uncle need? You can directly transfer them to the Military Department."

Following that, Yan Shuo then looked at the Military Chief, and said: "Cooperate with all of Prince Jing's arrangements, and do not be negligent."

"Your subject obeys the decree."

After receiving the orders, Yan Yuan called for five thousand soldiers to prepare to leave.

"Your Royal Highness, there are at least twenty thousand pirates. Would it be too little if you brought five thousand people?"

The minister reminded him.

"Enough."

Yan Yuan did not speak anymore. Three days later, all the food was prepared and they headed towards the Eastern Ocean.

Even Yan Yuan was unable to easily take him down and could be considered as good news, but that group of sea thieves were unable to take any advantage of Yan Yuan. It was just that the two sides had been in a stalemate for almost two months, and the outcome of the battle was difficult to determine.

As for Liu Ruo Qing who had left the capital, she stayed in the Jiang Prefecture for two months, but was still unable to find any clues regarding her background. To be more precise, she was unable to find any information related to the Jiang Family.

That day, Liu Ruo Qing continued to search in the Jiang Prefecture for clues that might have some connection to the Jiang Clan. Two whole months had passed, but she was actually a little discouraged.

In another two days, if she still didn't find any clues, she would leave.

The place she was at now was directly opposite the main residence of the Jiang Guo Mansion back then. After the Jiang Family was annihilated, this place was taken away by the imperial government, and later on, it was sold to a Squire with the surname of Zhao.

Although Liu Ruo Qing was not sure if she was truly from Jiang Family, the house in front of her gave her a complicated feeling.

"You lunatic, why are you here again? Scram!" "Scram!"

Just as Liu Ruo Qing was in a daze, the impatient voice of the gatekeeper came from the entrance of the Zhao manor.

Liu Ruo Qing looked over and saw a crazy old man covered in filth being pushed out from inside, falling to the ground.

"I'm telling you guys, my general lives here. Believe me, my general really lives here. Take a look, do you recognize me?"

The crazy old man pushed away the messy hair on his face, revealing his teeth as he smiled at the doorman.

The concierge kicked him impatiently, "What a lunatic! If you don't get out of here, I'll get someone to beat you to death!"

"How dare you! "When I went to the battlefield that year, I didn't even know where you were."

The crazy old man suddenly became furious. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to fight, but he was stopped by a few guards who came out of the door with sticks in their hands.

"Crazy old man, if you don't behave yourself and scram, don't blame us for being impolite."

The crazy old man looked at the person holding the stick in front of him, then suddenly raised his head and laughed loudly, repeating, "Falling from the tiger to be bullied by a dog, haha ~ ~ ~"

He laughed like a madman as he left, and then he started crying out once more, "Duke of Guo, Great General!"

Liu Ruo Qing's heart suddenly tightened when she heard the two words "Duke of". Her intuition told him that this person was most likely related to the Jiang Family back then.

When he was at Jiang Family that year, he had called out to the Duke of the Nation, saying that he, the general, lived here. The Duke of the Nation that he had spoken of must be the Duke of Jiang Country.

Thinking of this, Liu Ruo Qing's face lit up, and she quickly caught up, "Old man, please wait."

Liu Ruo Qing walked forward and blocked the path of the crazy old man, and that old man still continued to cry, ignoring Liu Ruo Qing's voice as he continued to walk forward.

"Old man, I have something to ask you, don't leave yet."

The crazy old man ignored her and continued to cry as he walked forward. Liu Ruo Qing panicked and went forward to grab his arm, but the moment he touched him, that person instinctively retaliated.

"You …"

Liu Ruo Qing wanted to say more, but the old man did not give her the chance, the intense wind from his palm struck towards Liu Ruo Qing, and Liu Ruo Qing had to dodge a few times to avoid the attack.

At this time, the hidden guards that were hiding in the shadows and following Liu Ruo Qing rushed up at the right time to stop the crazy old man.

Seeing the few people in front of him, Liu Ruo Qing was shocked, "Why are you here?"

"Subordinate and others, under the orders of the prince, secretly protect the wangfei."

Yan Yuan...

Liu Ruo Qing suddenly remembered that she had not seen Yan Yuan for the past two months. Because she was wholeheartedly searching for her own background, she did not even have the mind to bother with her own husband and son.

Her eyes turned red, but now was not the time for her to feel sad or remorseful. She looked towards the old man who was frantically struggling, and said to the guard, "Knock him out and bring him back."

"Yes."

The hidden guards followed Liu Ruo Qing's instructions and brought the crazy old man to a nearby inn, then invited a doctor to treat him.

"Doctor, what is the condition of the patient?"

"Looking at his condition, he must have lost his mind. He's a bit old, and I'm afraid it's going to be difficult to cure him."

"Crazed?"

In Liu Ruo Qing's eyes, there was a hint of disappointment. Could she get any useful clues from a person who had gone insane?

"This situation will last for at least twenty years."

Liu Ruo Qing lowered her eyes in disappointment and looked at the face that had been cleaned up by the guards. She held onto a glimmer of hope and looked at the doctor, asking, "Doctor, do you know him?"
