40 Out of town (2/2)
An Yuanzhi didn't care about Shangguan Rui's expression.
An Jinxiu turned around and walked out of the room. ”I'll go find some clothes for you guys to wear. After lunch, we'll set off.”
After that, the remaining four men in the room, look at each other, who doesn't know what to say.
In the end, it was An Yuanzhi who spoke first. ”How high are your martial arts skills?”
Yuan Wei, said coldly, ”Madam said that you've heard of us in the Residence of An.”
An Yuanzhi let out a hollow laugh. An Jinxiu was just spouting nonsense. The generals of both the Residence of An and the Wang Military Department had never had much interaction with each other. How could they possibly know about Wang Yuan raising his deathsworn? Hearing is believing, An Yuanzhi said. ”I just heard that you guys are experts in martial arts.”
Yuan Yi forced a smile and said, ”We know how to kill people.”
”What?” An Yuanzhi didn't understand.
”There are a lot of martial arts factions,” Yuan Yi explained to An Yuanzhi. ”We don't have any specific martial arts techniques. We only know how to kill him more conveniently.”
An Yuanzhi's interest was piqued. He thought that practicing martial arts was to build a career on the battlefield. Killing people on the battlefield would be easier, but there were martial arts techniques that were more convenient.
As a scholar, Shangguan Rui was not interested in this topic at all. After coming out of the room, he found An Jinxiy, who was rummaging through the women's clothing in Zi Yuan and Shangguan Ning's room.
An Jinxiu was not surprised to see Shangguan Rui enter. She immediately said, ”Little brother in law, these two people are worth our risk.”
Shangguan Rui said: ”I can see that they aren't afraid of death. Maybe they can really help my big brother and Brother Yuan Zhi. But sister-in-law, they are only two people after all.”
”If your big brother and Yuan Zhi can command thousands of troops in the future, wouldn't it be good to have a loyal person by your side?”
”What if they are not loyal?”
An Jinxiu turned around and smiled at Shangguan Rui. ”Even if they're not loyal, I think it's good to have two friends like them.”
Shangguan Rui paced around the room a few times and said: ”These two people are not simple. Otherwise, why would the imperial government make such a big commotion to capture them? ”Sister-in-law, will the secret they know cause us to die?”
An Jinxiu said, ”Wang Yuan was sentenced to nine familial extermination. This person was also someone who had done great deeds from the dragon. Little brother in law, do you think that such a person would be stupid enough to commit the crime of cheating the monarch?”
Shangguan Rui didn't say anything for a long time after hearing An Jin's words. The people in the Academy had also been guessing what Wang Yuan had lied to the Emperor Shizong for the past two days. They had speculated on many things, but none of them could make up their minds.
An JinXiu had found all the women's clothes that Yuan Yi and Yuan Wei would wear. She looked back and saw that Shangguan Rui was still deep in thought, so she said, ”I thought that a meritorious general like Wang Yuan might have something to hide from His Majesty, but it shouldn't be on the same level as exterminating nine families. Unless his deceit is related to His Majesty's throne.”
”The throne?” Shangguan Rui said, ”How can Wang Yuan harm His Majesty's world without a weapon?”
”The throne should be as important to His Majesty,” An Jinxiu held the clothes in her arms and followed Shangguan Rui, ”If I was Wang Yuan, I would have instructed my men to do something like this, but for what purpose, I won't follow anyone.”
Shangguan Rui's body trembled. When he still wanted to talk to An Jinxiu, his sister-in-law had already left the room with clothes in her arms.
By the time Zi Yuan was done with his food, Shangguan Rui, who was sitting at the table eating lunch, had calmed down. Baby Ping is in An Jinxiu arms, and she was taking care of Shangguan Ning at the same time.
The two of them did not talk about Wang Yuan and the death warrior. An Jinxiu was not worried that Shangguan Rui would not be on her side. Shangguan Rui was an ambitious person, if he could help Shangguan Yong and help the Shangguan Family further, this young man would definitely help them.
After the family ate lunch, An Jinxiu left the wet nurse to look after the house. She carried Yuan Yi and Yuan Wei, who were both dressed in women's clothes, and sat in the family carriage with Shangguan Ning. An Yuanzhi and Shangguan Rui sat outside the carriage and drove the carriage towards the north gate.
”Nothing will happen.” When the carriage arrived at the north gate, An Jinxiu stopped and let the city guards inspect it. She then whispered to Yuan Yi and Yuan Wei.
An Yuanzhi lifted the curtain of the carriage from the outside, causing the people inside to cover their faces with their handkerchiefs.
”The carriage is filled with women,” Shangguan Rui asked the soldier from outside, ”How much longer do you want to see?”
The soldier looked at the people in the carriage, but didn't pay any attention to them. He pulled his head back and said to An Yuezhi and Shangguan Rui, ”You guys can leave!”
