MTL - Perfect Encounter-Chapter 31
Long Da said again: "After you are familiar with the situation, I will send Steward Fang back to the eunuch's mansion."
An Ruochen was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized. He answered "yes" again.
This move is to make her steward status more credible, after all, one government office does not need two stewards for daily chores. And according to An Ruochen, she felt that Long Da didn't trust the people from the prefect's mansion wholeheartedly.
At this time, Long Da said again: "You need someone to protect you secretly when you are going out to lure the enemy. I have handed over these to General Jiang. He will pick two people to come in and out with you on weekdays to protect your safety. You also need With self-defense weapons, you have to save yourself when the guards are unable to rescue you in time. In addition, you have to practice some fists and feet, and learn some skills to escape. Otherwise, there is no way to retreat, but it is useless if you are unable to use it.”
An Ruochen's face became hot again, knowing that Long Da was referring to her embarrassing incident of running away from home several times without success.
"The general taught you the lesson. Thank you, general, daughter...uh, I will definitely work hard." After being a steward, shouldn't the title be changed?
"Servant?" Long Da raised his eyebrows. She really can let go of her figure, and she doesn't have the psychological burden of Miss Da Zhai at all.
"Uh, little one?" An Ruochen recalled how Anping called himself in front of his father, or called himself a subordinate in the army?
Long Da raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
An Ruochen blushed. Well, well, she also felt that it was awkward to call herself these names, and it seemed that she had to practice. An Ruochen bit her lip and moved her body in embarrassment.
Long Da didn't delve too deeply into the title, but changed the subject and said, "Besides that, you also need to clarify the purpose of the mission."
An Ruochen hurriedly said: "I understand this. It is to find out the clues, capture Mr. Xie, and catch them all."
Long Da nodded, but asked again: "Do you know why you need to check the details?"
Isn't it simple?
An Ruochen replied: "Secretly spy on the military aircraft, disturb the order in the city, and endanger the safety of the people. Capturing them can ensure the safety of our military situation, and we can understand the enemy's strategy. Only in this way can we win the battle."
"anything else?"
"It's a matter of national prestige, don't let foreigners make waves in my Great Xiao." Just like her father's actions, sometimes it's not a matter of making money, but a matter of face. An Ruochen felt that she understood.
But Long Da shook his head: "It's more than that. The most important thing is to stop the war."
An Ruochen was taken aback.
"There are thousands of functions of careful work, so I don't need to say more. Not only the affairs of the two countries, but even the two companies doing business, there are mutual information and robbing interests. But the war between the two countries is different from other things. Once Go to war, lose soldiers and generals, and blood flow into rivers. Whether you win or lose, it is all at the cost of your life. Where the iron hoof steps, the people will be disturbed, and there will be no more peace. Miss An, you must remember that if you capture the subtle work and deter the enemy, you will have a chance to stop it. The war. Nanqin has lost its eyes and ears, and it has fallen into my hands, Da Xiao. No matter what they have in mind, they have to deal with it carefully. Maybe they will not dare to fight this battle."
An Ruochen was a little surprised, but she never thought about this level.
"Miss An, as a general, you don't just focus on fighting and winning battles, but you also want to deter the enemy from attacking. Only in this way can the people be safe. Do you understand the importance of this meticulous work?"
"Understood." An Ruochen quickly replied.
"So regardless of your safety or your sister's safety, from the moment you choose to help me trap Xi Zuo in exchange for my rescue, you will be behind the matter of Xi Zuo, do you understand?"
Only then did An Ruochen understand what Long Da intended to say to her. "I see."
"Although you are safe and secure at the moment, your future is uncertain. I think you are also anxious about a young girl who serves in the army. After being captured and captured carefully, where will you go and where will you end up?"
An Ruochen bit her lip, she really didn't know what she would do in the future, after the battle, General Long would lead his troops back to Beijing, even if she was willing to serve her as a servant, they might not be willing to take her away . Besides, at that time, the fourth sister didn't know if there was any news. If her life and death were still unknown, how could she leave.
"There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. I just want to do what the general ordered, and look for my sister along the way." An Ruochen said.
Long Dao: "What I want to tell you is this. There must be a way for a car to reach the mountain, but you can't walk the way given by anyone. When you lure the enemy, you will also be lured by the enemy. Think about those Which one of the girls controlled by Matchmaker Xu is not like this. If the other party promises you a future, or finds a handsome young man to seduce you for a lifetime, promises you a stable life, or uses your life to force you to spy on me Xiao Junzhong’s information, I hope you don’t get carried away and know how to advance and retreat.”
An Ruochen was startled, and knelt down with a plop: "General! The general's kindness to me is as great as a mountain. I am loyal to the general and will never be tempted by the enemy. I swear by my life."
Long Da continued: "Or maybe they really found your sister and forced her with her life..."
An Ruochen was startled, and quickly said: "No matter what they do, I will tell the truth to the general. I put my life in the general's hands. It has been like this before, and it will be like this in the future. I am ashamed of my fourth sister. I can no longer be ashamed of the general's great kindness. Besides, I am a weak woman, and without the general's help, I can't save her with the news of the fourth sister. Although I am stupid, I will never do such a stupid thing."
Long Da looked at her for a long while, and finally nodded: "Very well, you understand the truth, you know the seriousness, and then you can lure and do it carefully, and start tomorrow."
An Ruochen showed up in the crowd.
The news spread quickly in Zhonglan City, and everyone in the streets and alleys discussed it hotly.
It has been more than ten days since An Ruochen ran away from home in the middle of the night and beat drums to report the crime. In the past ten days, all the good people in the city have discussed this matter a hundred and eighty times, speculating on various possibilities.
I heard that Miss An could not bear to be tortured and ran away from home, and what she reported to the government was her father's dirty business activities, but unfortunately she couldn't provide evidence, so the prefect had no choice but to let An Zhifu go.
It is also said that An Ruochen knew the secret of the shocking case, so the prefect entrusted her to General Long and put her in Ziyun Tower for protection.
It is also said that Ms. An was cruel and heartless. Because of a dispute with her sister, she killed her and destroyed her body.
It was even said that the An family had colluded with Nanqin at all. Master An Zhifu used his daughter An Ruochen as a spy for Nanqin. When the incident happened, An Ruochen rushed to the county government office to report the case in order to protect himself. In the end, he was imprisoned by General Long in the prison of Ziyun Tower...
The sum of all kinds of rumors is enough for the storyteller to talk for a year or so.
It's just that there is a lot of speculation outside, but no one dares to go to the Yamen to inquire. As for An's mansion, the gate of the mansion was closed during this time, and the business at the other end of the shop continued, but the guys kept silent, and when they heard the topic about the eldest lady of the owner's house, they immediately became deaf and dumb, and some simply turned around and left.
Under such a situation, An Ruochen suddenly appeared in the market place, accompanied by maids and servants, to deal with the daily purchases of Ziyunlou, with the air of a half-master in charge of the house. All the shops are spreading the word, they clearly heard the maid call her——An steward.
No one dared to ask An Ruochen face to face: Girl, what happened to you? But everyone has developed countless imaginations in their hearts. This girl from the An family has an adventure, and she wants to fly to the sky.
The news quickly spread to An's mansion, and An Zhifu was so angry that he smashed several vases. "Bitch! Disgraceful!"
Stewardship? ! Pooh!
He settled the marriage with sweet words, and said that he would assist the military in handling the case. As a result, only a few days later, he became the steward of Ziyun Building in a blink of an eye, and he was so flamboyant that he led his servants through the streets and alleys to show off, afraid that others would not know?
An Zhifu kicked a chair away, especially not relieved. The steward of Ziyun Tower! It sounds like a servant, but that's Ziyun Tower, the General's Mansion, and General Long's place! The place where the prefect had to say hello in advance even when he came to the door!
When the prefect Yao Kun called Fang Yuan, the second steward of the mansion, everyone stuffed gifts for Fang Yuan one after another, and An Zhifu didn't leave behind, so they prepared gifts and sent them over. This is not an ordinary servant, but a person who manages the daily chores in the backyard of General Long and other military officials, manages a group of servants, and can talk and do things in Ziyun Tower.
Fang Yuan has been in the prefect's mansion for more than ten years. He is thoughtful and kind. Although he is only the second in charge, he is also a person with weight in words and connections in actions. When he came out to handle errands, it was convenient for everyone to look at Yao Kun's face and Fang Yuan's face. This time he was transferred to Ziyun Tower, everyone said that he had great luck, and he might be favored by General Long in the future, promoted him, and even took him to the capital.
As a result, in the blink of an eye, he was kicked away by his seemingly useless eldest daughter and replaced by him?
What a great way. An Zhifu was angry and surprised at the same time. He didn't understand, An Ruochen was no more than a girl, what could she do? Why is there such ability? He didn't believe it, so he sent Anping to inquire.
When Anping came back, he said that the people in the prefect's mansion had leaked the news, that An Ruochen really became the steward of Ziyun Building, and that steward Fang would return to the prefect's mansion in a few days. Miss An will take care of everything about Ziyun Tower.
Only then did An Zhifu recall what An Ruochen said to him at the county government office that day - "We'll wait and see, Master An, we'll wait and see."
An Zhifu clenched his fists, he treated him like a slut, he didn't expect that she would dare to give him a bad look so openly.
The daughter of his family defied the marriage he arranged. She didn't want to be a good lady, and she didn't want to be a good lady, but she chose to be a servant. It's all right to be a servant, but still a servant who overwhelms him.
An Zhifu felt that the breath was really stuck in his stomach, which made him feel sick and uncomfortable.
At this time, Qian Pei came. He smiled and asked An Zhifu: "I heard that the young lady came out and led the servants of the general's office. She can't be the young lady of An's mansion, but she is even more prestigious. I just wonder if she has come back to greet Master An? "
How about you? An Zhifu was provoked and scolded angrily: "That **** dares to enter my An's house again, I will immediately break her legs."
Qian Pei's face sank: "Master An is quite forgetful. How could he forget the 'peace is the most important' we discussed."
Qian Pei's tone was not serious, but his eyes were sharp, which reminded An Zhifu of the tiger in the animal garden of Qian Mansion.
"If Mr. An is so forgettable, I'm afraid I won't dare to cooperate with Mr. An again."
