Being a Lady of an Influential Family

Jiazhou City

Leng Sa pushed the door open and came in from the outside. Shang Feiyun and Jiang Yuzheng were sitting in the hall chatting lazily.

Seeing Leng Sa coming in, the two sat up straight and looked over in unison.

Leng Sa walked to the side and poured himself a glass of cold water to drink, then sat down beside him with a sigh of relief.

It's really hot outside in July, the best option is to sit in a room with a fan and preferably air-conditioning instead of running around outside. It's a pity that she obviously doesn't have the time and the conditions now.

Shang Feiyun looked at Leng Sa and asked, "How is it? Any good news?"

Leng Sa said, "General Song is ready, and some soldiers have sneaked into the city to help us capture Jiazhou at any time, General Song will also wait outside the city to attack the city at any time. In addition..." Leng Sa glanced at the two and said , "Just received the news that Qujing was ambushed in Songcheng yesterday evening and suffered heavy losses."

Shang Feiyun praised, "Master Fu is really amazing, Qu Jing won't come back, will he?"

Leng Sa thought for a while and said, "It shouldn't be so fast."

Fu Fengcheng would not let him back so easily, and he only ran away after suffering a loss in the first battle. Qu Jing probably would not make such a decision either.

Hastily retreating and fleeing will definitely damage morale and even combat power.

Jiang Yu frowned and said, "Then the question now is, how do we take Jiazhou?"

Leng Sa said, "Tonight we unite with everyone in the city to try to take down the east and west gates. As long as we open the gates and let General Song in, we don't need to worry about the rest."

Jiang Yu nodded, thought for a while before saying, "Actually, I think...you can try from the generals of the Jiazhou Army."

Leng Sa looked at him, "Tell me?"

Jiang Yudao, "Didn't Qu Jing take those people's family members as hostages to threaten them? With so many people, Qu Jing has to find a place to settle. As long as we find these people, the possibility of persuading them will become very high. After all, who are the Fu family and Qu Jing with? Follow? The reputation of the Fu family is somewhat better than that of Qujing."

Shang Feiyun shook her head and said, "But we have to take Jiazhou City tonight." Where is the time to find someone? Who knows where the man was hidden by Qu Jing?

Leng Sa thought about this possibility, and then said after a while, "It's not impossible at all. It shouldn't be a particularly confidential matter. It's not difficult to find out. We're just short of time. If you want to find out quickly, you can find someone."

"Who?" They both asked in unison.

Leng Sa smiled and said, "Second Prince."

"..." They all forgot that there is such a person in Jiazhou, so what is this prince trying to do by running around with Qu Jing and Ren Nanyan?

Jiang Yufeng narrowed her eyes slightly, and thoughtfully said, "As long as we know the place and the situation of those people, we will have leverage in negotiating with them. Of course, those generals may not trust us, so...Young Madam must help."

Leng Sa said, "Do you think those people will trust me?"

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "What I mean is, please ask the young lady to come forward and communicate with the local snakes in Jiazhou, and let them persuade the generals of the Jiazhou army. These snakes are usually well-connected, so they must have something to do with those people. It's best if they come forward to persuade."

Leng Sa nodded and said, "Okay, now we have to find the second prince first, and I want to see how Ren Nanyan is doing."

Shang Feiyun nodded and said, "Young Master Jiang will bring someone to meet you outside, and I'll contact those local snakes."

"Ok, deal."

In fact, the second prince really wanted to know why he followed Qu Jing and Ren Nanyan in the first place. It seemed that he had already got into the thief car of these two when he came to his senses.

Then I heard that the third child had completely withdrawn from the royal family, and the news that the father and his brothers and sisters were all under house arrest, made him even more afraid to go back.

What's more, Ren Nanyan also hinted that when they get a firm foothold, they will support him to the top if they have the opportunity. His father became a puppet of the cabinet and now he has no freedom. As a prince, he is naturally the most orthodox heir of the Anxia royal family. This statement was quite attractive at the time, but after more than a year of running around, the second prince has already regretted it.

Although he is not particularly smart, he is not a fool either. How could he not see that Qu Jing and Ren Nanyan are not in a good situation now? Not to mention that Ren Nanyan's life is not long, and it's hard to say how Qu Jing will treat him when he dies.

Even Ren Nanyan himself, I'm afraid he didn't take him seriously as the second prince, but he just kept him as a potentially useful person by his side. Anyway, it doesn't cost much rice grain, what if it is useful in the future? Even if it's useless, he won't have any power at all, and it wouldn't be a pity to lose it casually.

Sometimes the second prince can't help but want to escape from Jiazhou and go back to the capital alone, but he also knows in his heart that Qu Jing has always sent people to watch him, free movement is no problem, but if he wants to escape, the only thing waiting for him is bullets and knives up.

Returning to his room somewhat dispirited, the second prince, who had just opened the door to enter, froze with his hand holding the door to close.

A slender figure was sitting at the table a few meters away from him. The other person looked very leisurely. He met his shocked eyes with his hands on his chin and raised his hand to make a silent gesture.

The second prince's hands trembled, and finally closed the door silently.

Although the woman sitting in front of him was as beautiful as a flower, the second prince didn't have the slightest intention of admiring it.

He walked to the table and did not sit down, but lowered his voice and said, "Mrs. Fu, why are you here?!"

Shouldn't Leng Sa be in Songcheng at this time? His news is not very well-informed, but he also vaguely felt an ominous atmosphere. Qu Jing led the army to Songcheng, while Leng Sa, the temporary commander of the Southern Six Provincial Army in Songcheng, was in Jiazhou, so... who is in command of the Southern Six Provincial Army in Songcheng now?

The second prince's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Leng Sa in horror.

Leng Sa smiled and said, "The second prince is a smart man, I only have two questions, I will leave after I ask them."

The second prince gritted his teeth and said, "You ask."

Leng Sa said, "First, where are the family members of the Jiazhou Army general imprisoned by Qujing?"

The second prince didn't answer, and said with a cold smile, "It shouldn't be a secret, I'm just in a hurry now, but I don't have to ask you."

The second prince also understood this truth, and after a moment of silence, he said, "In the guard regiment station not far from the Governor's Mansion, it was originally a police station in Jiazhou, and everyone was locked in cells."

Leng Sa was a little surprised, "Qu Jing is really not afraid of offending people."

Although those can only be regarded as middle-level commanders, there are quite a few of them. If someone holds a grudge, it will cause big trouble in the future.

The second prince lowered his eyes and said, "Qu Jing has no intention of letting those people come back alive. He has placed cronies in the Jiazhou Army in advance, and after the battle is over, he will replace all the commanders with his own people."

Leng Sa nodded and said, "Okay, the second question, how is Ren Nanyan doing?"

The second prince was startled, with a strange expression on his face.

Leng Sa was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

The second prince said, "I haven't seen Ren Nanyan for several days, but he should still be alive. As you can see, I live in the outer courtyard and Ren Nanyan lives in the inner courtyard. Even I cannot enter without hindrance. The inner courtyard is looking for Ren Nanyan. Every time I saw Ren Nanyan before, it was when discussing matters in the hall."

Leng Sa was curious, "How is Ren Nanyan's condition?"

The second prince said, "It's very bad, I think he should have died a long time ago."

Leng Sa didn't take it seriously, some people couldn't help it even if their vitality was tenacious.

As a junior, of course she would not curse the old man to die early, "Do you think Qu Jing treats Ren Nanyan well?"

"Of course." The second prince said without hesitation, glanced at Leng Sa and thought for a while, "I think... even our brothers are not so respectful and filial to the father..."

Leng Sa was very surprised, "Could it be my villainous heart? Qu Jing really values ​​love and righteousness so much? Then do you think it would be useful for me to blackmail Qu Jing with Ren Nanyan?"

"..." The second prince looked at the eldest young lady of the Fu family in front of him with a strange expression, and always felt that the one who said such words was more like a villain than Qu Jing.

"I don't know." The second prince told the truth, he couldn't understand Qu Jing's attitude towards Ren Nanyan at all, how could he judge whether it was true or false?

Leng Sa felt a little regretful, and waved his hands and said, "Okay, I'll find a way to meet Mr. Ren before I talk. By the way...you won't betray me, will you?"

The second prince was startled, and quickly shook his head crazily, "No, no. I haven't seen Young Madam before."

Leng Sa tilted her head and looked at him, and after a while she smiled and said, "Then thank you, Second Prince."

"..." The second prince felt cold sweat on his palms, and forced a smile, "Young Madam, you are welcome."

"There is one more thing I want to ask the second prince for help." Leng Sa said.

The second prince said: "If you want me to help you see Ren Nanyan, I can't do it. Without Qu Jing's permission, no one can see Ren Nanyan."

Leng Sa smiled and said, "You think too much, I'm not talking about this matter. In exchange, after the Fu family takes Jiazhou, they will guarantee the personal safety of the second prince."

"Why should I trust you?" the second prince asked.

Leng Sa said, "I swear by Xiao Yiran's personality."

"..." You might as well not swear.

As the sky gradually darkened, lights were lit in the deepest courtyard of the Governor's Mansion.

Ren Nanyan was sitting in a wheelchair by the window, exuding a decayed atmosphere.

He looked through the window at the night outside, his dark eyes full of unwillingness. No matter how complicated his eyes were, he never moved.

His condition is getting worse day by day, and now he can't even walk independently. During this period of time, the attacks were even more frequent, and every time Ren Nanyan felt that he was hovering on the verge of death.

When he was young, he thought he was not afraid of death, but it was only when he was really struggling with life and death that he realized that he was still afraid, and he didn't want to die.

"Old Ren, get ready." The doctor came over carrying a tray with a glass of water and several kinds of large and small pills on it.

Ren Nanyan glanced at the pills and asked, "Is there any news from Songcheng? When will Ah Jing come back?"

The doctor said respectfully, "No news yet."

Ren Nanyan frowned, but reached out to take the water and pills without saying anything.

His wrist was thin and weak, and he was shaking a little while holding the water glass, and some water even spilled out and splashed on him. The doctor stood aside respectfully, lowering his eyes as if he didn't see anything.

"Ah Jing won't be without news for so long, go...go ask someone to check if something happened in Songcheng."

The doctor nodded quickly and said, "Yes, I'll let someone go."

Ren Nanyan raised his head and glanced at him, his eyes were a little cold, "Don't talk nonsense."

The doctor couldn't help shaking his hands, and said, "I, I understand."

Ren Nanyan nodded, narrowed his eyes and asked, "How long will it take for the operation to be completed?"

The doctor was silent for a while and said, "It will take about a few hours, but your current body... As I said before, it's best to do it while your health is still good, maybe you can be 50 to 60% sure, now..."

Ren Nanyan closed his eyes and said, "How long can I live if I don't do it?"

The doctor didn't dare to hide anything, and whispered, "At most...no more than a month."

"..." There was silence in the room, and the doctor was a little worried, "Mr. Ren...Actually, if you have been taking good care of yourself, you could have been able to take care of it for a few more years. But you have been..." Until now, the doctor has not figured it out. , Is Ren Nanyan afraid of death or not.

Ren Nanyan sneered, "Living like a living dead, what's the difference between being dead?"

It's not that Ren Nanyan doesn't want to take good care of it, but the doctor said that the most important thing about his illness is not to get angry, but to be calm and open-minded. If he could accept all this calmly, he wouldn't have done those things in the first place?

"However, General Qu is not here now, really... shall we wait for him to come back?" The doctor was still full of worry.

Ren Nanyan said, "I'm afraid Ah Jing has been stumbled in Songcheng, and I don't know when he will come back. There is no news about the old guy surnamed Hua, and I'm afraid he won't be able to come either. I can't wait." will be worse. If something really happened to Qu Jing, it would be even more troublesome.

On top of that, the doctor said one month, but he really felt like he was going to die any moment now.

He must gamble!

When he was in good health, he naturally didn't want to take risks. He always wanted to find a more suitable donor, hoped that the doctor's plan would be more foolproof, and even fantasized about whether the disease would gradually recover by taking medicine.

But there is no other way now, he can't just die like this, he has to take a gamble no matter what.

Just a few days ago, the doctor told him that he had found a donor that was the most suitable for him. He didn't dare and didn't want to wait any longer. He was afraid that he might die in his sleep tonight.

The doctor sighed silently and did not speak any more, watching Ren Nanyan swallow the medicine.

The medicine contained anesthetic ingredients, Ren Nanyan leaned against the back of the chair and fell asleep without speaking for a while.

The moment before he fell asleep, a fear suddenly rose in Ren Nanyan's mind, would he never wake up again? !

But even if it is fear, what can he do?

It's just that he doesn't know what kind of situation he will face after waking up again.
