No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 484 Collaborating with the enemy and treason? !
When Jiang Guanmu returned to the mansion in the evening, he saw Mrs. Han sitting alone in the room, lost in thought, with a melancholy look that made people feel distressed.

Jiang Guanmu walked over, held her shoulders, and asked softly, "Why are you sitting here alone? Who made you unhappy?"

Han raised her head to look at him, smiled reluctantly, shook her head and said, "No, I'm a little tired after playing with the two children for a while."

Jiang Guanmu nodded. They had a pair of twins, both of whom were only five years old this year, and it was the most noisy time.

Jiang Guanmu shook her hand and said, "I've been too busy these days, so don't get too used to them. I will definitely teach them a lesson when the danger of Jianling is resolved."

"The children are fine, what are you teaching them?" Han was a little unhappy, and said angrily, "It's already very pitiful for them to be born in my womb. What else can I do except love them more?"

Jiang Guanmu was taken aback for a moment, and asked in puzzlement, "What's the matter?"

Han said quietly: "Seeing that Chao'er is about to become enlightened, but he doesn't even have an identity, you still ask me what's wrong?"

Jiang Guanmu remained silent, seeing him like this made Han feel even more sad.

Turning his face away, he said angrily: "Master Hou has a lot of things to do, go get busy with business, and leave me alone."

Jiang Guanmu sighed, and said helplessly: "What are you thinking? Of course, I will always remember the matter between you and Chao'er Qin'er. It's just that this matter can only be done after returning to Shangyong. If it's just a letter If you go back, I’m afraid you won’t be able to get through with the elders in the clan, and it will only make their impression of you worse.”

Although the Yueyang Hou Mansion is not considered a famous family like Yongyi, it is still a big family that has been passed down for several generations.

Even if Jiang Guanmu is Marquis Yueyang, he is not the patriarch of the Jiang family. It is not that the Han family and the two children will be accepted by the clan after he writes a letter back.

It would be fine if the Han family was an ordinary country girl, at least she had a clean identity.However, after the Han family was a criminal minister, it was only two or thirty years since the Han family was convicted. Maybe the old man of the Jiang family still knew Han's grandfather.

The crimes committed by the Han family back then were not light, and they were not very good-looking.

I'm afraid the Jiang family would rather accept a woman from prostitution than a sinner.

And there's Mrs....

Thinking of his wife in Shangyong, Jiang Guanmu felt a little guilty.

He came to Yanzhou only two years after his wife married him, and he only went back a few times during the period, and the couple's total time together these years did not exceed three months.

Over the years, his wife has raised his son, served his parents, and managed the Yueyang Hou Mansion for him.Even if he is not in Shangyong for a long time, there are still places in the imperial city for the Jiang family and the Marquis of Yueyang. It is all the result of his wife's single-handed management, and even cultivated the eldest son to become His Majesty's companion.

Back then, the husband and wife also had a time of deep affection and vows of eternal love.

Now he consciously puts all his heart on Han Shi, and feels a little sorry for his wife in his heart.

When Han Shi gave birth to twins, he didn't write a letter back to Shangyong to inform his wife, and the more time passed, the less he knew how to speak.

Han wiped her tears and said: "I know that I came from a humble background, but thanks to the pity of Lord Hou, I can have the life I have today. I originally thought, and I didn't want to embarrass you. When you return to Beijing in the future, I will ask you to stay in Jianling. It's just... what should I do with the two children? They are inferior from birth, if, if they don't have an identity, in the future..."

Seeing the beauty weeping, Jiang Guanmu took her into his arms distressedly, and said softly: "Okay, Chao'er and Qin'er are also my children, so why don't I feel bad? When the battle in Yanzhou is over, the future will be over." The Prince Regent will definitely come to build the mausoleum for a while. At that time, I will try my best not to give up the credit for these years, and I will also ask the Prince Regent to give you a clean identity. When I return to Beijing to report on my duties, we will go back together, and I will make you fair and aboveboard. Walk into Yueyanghou's mansion without hesitation."

Knowing that he never speaks falsely and cannot do things that he can't do, Han knows how to coax people with pleasant words, so he couldn't help laughing through his tears.

"Really?"

"Naturally." Jiang Guanmu said helplessly, "Can I still trick you?"

Nestling in his arms, Mrs. Han said softly: "I naturally believe in Lord Hou. There is no one in this world who treats me as well as Lord Hou."

Jiang Guanmu caressed her vest and said, "I will treat you well for the rest of my life."

Seeing that Mrs. Han was in a better mood, Jiang Guanmu also felt relieved.

"Okay, you have a good rest, I'll go to see General Jiang." Jiang Guanmu got up and was about to go out, but Han quickly stopped him and said, "You just came back, so General Jiang must be normal too. Why don't you let him rest for a while , just go and disturb?"

Jiang Guanmu was a little amused, and said, "What's bothering you? It's wartime, and I naturally wanted to discuss the war with General Jiang. General Jiang said just now that he had something very important to discuss with me, which was related to the success or failure of the Jianling War." , where is the time to rest?"

"That's it." Han nodded and said, "Then Hou Ye, go quickly, don't delay."

Seeing Jiang Guanmu's back going away, Han Shi sat at the table and recalled Jiang Guanmu's promise just now, and felt a sweetness in his heart.

Meeting Lord Hou was really the best thing in her life.

"Ma'am, why did you let the general go?" the girl came in with tea and asked in a low voice.

Han said with a smile: "Master Hou said that there is an urgent matter to discuss with General Jiang, how can I keep him?"

"Urgent?" The girl frowned; "Didn't you just come back from the tower?"

Mrs. Han stood up and said, "Let's leave this alone. This matter is related to the success or failure of the Jianling War. I see that Lord Hou is full of confidence. As long as we don't hold back."

The girl looked at her joyfully, with a look of nothing to worry about.

His eyes flickered slightly, and he said softly: "But ma'am, that Miss Gu is also in General Jiang's yard at the moment. If there is really something important, why would General Jiang let her go?"

The smile on Han's face froze, she pulled the handkerchief in her hand and said in a low voice, "Master Hou won't lie to me."

The girl shook her head and sighed: "Madam is confused, Lord Hou will not lie to you, but how can you know what other people think? Even though the Gu family in Dongzhou is rich, they are also merchants after all. It’s not the same for a dignitary with real power like the Hou Mansion.”

"This……"

Although Han tried his best to calm down, he couldn't help feeling a little flustered between his brows.

If it was an ordinary woman, she might not be too concerned just because of what this girl said, but Luo Junyao put too much pressure on her.

Such a young and beautiful appearance, at first glance, is the innocent and beautiful appearance that was truly pampered and pampered.

Not to mention her now, even when she was fifteen or sixteen years old, she was far behind.

Seeing her like this, the girl flashed a smile in her eyes, and said: "It's getting late, madam, why don't you bring some refreshments?"

Han Shi was immersed in her own thoughts, and didn't care about the girl's words, but nodded unconsciously.

After all, Han Shi was still worried, and took the girl with a food box and headed towards Jiang Yan's yard.

As soon as the two approached the gate of the courtyard, they heard the sound of soldiers fighting inside, so they stopped and looked at each other, "What's going on inside?"

The girl beside her was also startled, and said: "Could it be that Lord Hou is competing with General Jiang?"

In fact, she herself didn't believe this, now that the battle is urgent, how can these two people have the mood to learn martial arts?
The two of them didn't think much about it, and stepped into the courtyard gate in two or three steps.

In the yard, Jiang Yan and Jiang Guanmu were really fighting.

Han's feet paused, his eyes widened suddenly and he shouted in a daze, "Your Majesty!"

The sword in Jiang Yan's hand pierced Jiang Guanmu's heart the moment he was distracted.

Bright red blood spurted out, Jiang Guanmu stared back at Han Shi who was running towards him in a daze, and slowly fell to the ground.

"Hou Ye!" Han's eyes turned red, and he wanted to pounce on Jiang Guanmu who was lying on the ground, but was stopped by the guard next to him.

"You killed Lord Hou! I'll kill you!" She frantically wanted to pounce on Jiang Yan, but how could a weak woman compare to two young and strong guards, who couldn't even shake each other's arms at all.

Han Shi thought that she was still dreaming about a better life in the future, and the only support was gone in an instant, so she couldn't help crying, and kept cursing Jiang Yan in her mouth.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the girl following the Han family turned around and wanted to go out.

"Take her down!" Jiang Yan said in a deep voice.

Two guards appeared at the door and stopped the girl.

Jiang Yan looked at Jiang Guanmu on the ground, and said to Han: "Mrs. Jiang, it's not that I want to kill Jiang Guanmu, it's him who wants to kill himself. For the sake of you being a girl, this general doesn't care about you. Now I will send you back to the yard, and wait in my own yard to wait for the prince, don't walk around or talk nonsense."

Han's eyes were red, and he looked at Jiang Yan with hatred, "You murderer! Master Hou is loyal and devoted himself to defending the city, so you killed him! You are a spy of the Gaoyu people! And you, you!"

Han pointed to Luo Junyao and Die Ying who were standing aside and said, "You are all spies of the Gaoyu people! You deserve death!"

Luo Junyao said innocently: "Ma'am, this is none of our business. When I came over, my cousin and Yue Yanghou started fighting. Cousin, this is someone else's house after all. If you say that someone wants to die, there must be a reason, right? "

Jiang Yan sneered, took out two letters and threw them to Han Shi, saying: "Cooperating with the enemy and treason, death is not a pity!"

Han didn't believe it at all, grabbed the letter on the ground, read it twice and wanted to tear it up, but was stopped by the people next to him.She still refused to give up, insisting that Jiang Yan framed Jiang Guanmu and wanted to take credit for defending the city.

Jiang Yandao: "Jiang Guanmu is indeed sincerely defending the city, because he wants to dedicate Jianling to the Qingzhou rebels, not the Gaoyu people. This is a letter from the Cao family in Qingzhou, and it is written by Jiang Guanmu himself. Reply, if Mrs. Jiang thinks it is fake, you might as well take a look for yourself. You have been with Jiang Guanmu for many years, you can't even recognize whether it is his handwriting?"

"No! I won't!" Han yelled helplessly, "Master Hou has clearly said that he will take us back to Shangyong when the battle in Yanzhou is over."

Jiang Yandao: "Yes, if you can help the Cao family take Yanzhou and win the world, what does Marquis Yueyang want?"

After saying this, Jiang Yan's eyes changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Take them back! Anyone who dares to reveal what happened today, in order to leak the military aircraft, will be punished for collaborating with the enemy!"

"Yes, General!" Two guards grabbed Han's arms, one left and one right, and dragged her out.

The girl next to her was also dragged along, and walked out together.

In the yard behind him, Jiang Guanmu lay tightly on the ground motionless, even his heart seemed to have stopped heaving, and blood flowed all over the floor.

The Han family was sent back to their yard, and soon found that the soldiers of the Zhen Guojun had been stationed outside the yard.

These people were indifferent and ruthless, and ignored her scolding and clamoring at all. As long as she wanted to take a step out of the courtyard gate, they would be blocked back.

If she made a fuss, she would even threaten her two children.

Han was tired after fussing for a while, so she could only go back to her room and lay down on the bed crying bitterly.

The servants in the yard knew what had happened, and they didn't dare to run around and hid in their rooms, daring not to go out.

The only one around Han Shi is her personal girl who has been serving her all the time.

I don't know how long we cried before Han raised his head and looked at the girl standing aside who was thinking about something, and said, "Ai Ye, what do you think we should do?"

The girl comforted softly: "Ma'am, don't worry, since Jiang Yanfang has returned to us, he must not have planned to kill us yet."

"But... Lord Hou is dead." Mrs. Han said sadly, "What will we do with the three of us?"

The girl sighed, and said: "Ma'am, Jiang Yan said that Lord Hou colluded with the rebels in Qingzhou. Do you know about this?"

Mrs. Han shook her head in a daze and said, "I don't know, usually...you know, Master Hou doesn't often tell me these things."

The girl frowned, "That letter..."

Mrs. Han said in a low voice, "Yes...it's Master Hou's handwriting."

Although she didn't read it carefully, she had been with Jiang Guanmu for several years, so she naturally knew his handwriting.

"What did the letter say?" the girl said in a deep voice.

Mrs. Han shook her head. She was too emotional at the time and didn't want to read the letter.

At this time, when I think back, my mind is also blank, I just remember to take a quick look at it, and it is indeed Jiang Guanmu's handwriting.

The girl glanced disdainfully at the dazed woman who was still sitting beside the bed, but her tone was calm and sincere.

"Madam, now that Master Hou is gone, Madam must be strong even for the sake of the young master and the young lady."

Upon hearing that Jiang Guanmu was gone, Han started to cry again.

"But, I can't do anything, we can't even get out of the courtyard now."

The girl said: "There will always be a way. Jiang Yan only has 1 people in Jianling, and the soldiers in Jianling City are all under the command of Lord Hou. There are also people in this mansion, and even Jianling City. He is on the side of Lord Hou. Otherwise, Jiang Yan would not lock us up here, isn't it because he is afraid that the news will be leaked?"

Mrs. Han nodded, and said: "You are right, Ai Ye, fortunately there is still you. Tell me, what should we do? I want Master Hou to take revenge!"

They are still taking revenge, if they change to someone who is more ruthless, they will lose their lives right now.

"What madam said is that Lord Hou and his wife are so kind to slaves. Even if slaves risk their lives, they must avenge Lord Hou!"

"what should we do?"

The girl glanced at the door, and approached Han's ear so and so.

On the other side of Jiang Yan's courtyard, Luo Junyao looked at Jiang Yan and said, "You have surrounded the courtyard so tightly, what if people can't get out?"

Jiang Yan said with a smile: "If you can't even get out of the yard, what's the point of doing it? If I don't let people watch it more carefully, it's hard to guarantee that the other party won't be suspicious."

Luo Junyao sat under the eaves, propped his chin and said, "That's right, is there any news from Gao Yu's side?"

Jiang Yandao: "He Ruomuti is very anxious. The rebels in Qingzhou are heading north. They probably want to rob Yanzhou with Gao Yu."

Luo Junyao was a little surprised, "The Cao family has not won the world yet, and they are going to fall out with their allies?"

Jiang Yandao: "Crossing Xinzhou to the south and crossing the river is Shangyong. There are General Luo, the Wuwei Army, and the vicinity of Gyeonggi and [-] soldiers and horses. To the west, behind Fengling Mountain is the Zhenguo Army and Wuwei Army. To the east is the sea. There is no other way to go north to Cao's house."

Luo Jun shook his head, "Yes, it seems that Cao Mian's absence still has a great impact on the Cao family."

"In the current situation, even if Cao Mian is here, there is no other way?" Unless the Cao family can produce a peerless famous general, who can open up the situation all the way.

The early exposure of the Cao family's plan and the failure of Yingzhou had a great impact on the Cao family.

But the Cao family was forced to this point, and if they didn't fight back, they would definitely die, and if they did, they might still have a way to survive.

"By the way, where is Cao Mian now?" Jiang Yan asked curiously, he only knew that Cao Mian had fallen into the hands of the prince.

Luo Jun said with a smile: "You guess."

"..."

"General, there is movement in the East Court." The guard outside the door came in and reported.

Both Luo Junyao and Jiang Yan's spirits perked up, and Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Just stare, tight on the outside and loose on the inside, understand?"

"Yes, General."
