Aunt Qing's agreement was unexpected. It was better for her to go than for Man'er to go. After all, she was very familiar with northern Xinjiang.
However, Xianbei must be a nightmare for her. It is unfair to her to put herself in a tiger's den in order to save someone who has nothing to do with her. Naturally, she does it for Man'er. She said that she lives all for her daughter.
.
Aunt Qing's fear of Jiangbei was clearly exposed in her eyes. She turned around for a moment and murmured: "I will probably never hear her call me mother again in my life."
Looking at her sad figure walking away, Yuan Qingling felt really bad in her heart.
Turning back to talk to Lao Wuyi, Lao Wu was naturally happy. Yuan Qing Ling said: "Do you want to tell Man'er about Aunt Qing's identity?"
"In this way..." Yu Wenhao thought for a moment and disagreed, "If Man'er knew about it, she might go after Aunt Qing, and if something happens to her, all our plans will be in vain."
Yuan Qing sighed lightly, "I really don't pay much attention to the overall situation, but I know that you have painstakingly prepared and arranged many things, just to calm down the chaos and regain the southern border. It's just that we blindly concealed it and allowed Aunt Qing to go to danger. What's wrong with Qing?"
It's unfair to both aunt and Man'er, she has the right to know."
Yu Wenhao can now accept these thoughts, but since the stakes are so important, he thinks it is still relatively risky, so he said: "We can only work hard to protect Aunt Qing's safety so that she can come back smoothly."
Yuan Qingling looked at him, "But what if it can't be done? What if Aunt Qing dies in northern Xinjiang? How can she accept it when Man'er knows the truth? She will regret and regret her whole life. I believe Man'er really hopes that
She has been alone for too long to have any relatives."
Yu Wenhao said: "There is nothing we can do about this."
"This is not an excuse. For us, this may be something we can't do, but we sacrifice other people's loved ones or happiness to accomplish so-called big things, without even asking the parties' opinions. Isn't it too arbitrary and indifferent?"
Yu Wenhao frowned, "Old Yuan, this matter is of great concern. It will make many people's efforts in vain, and if the plan cannot be implemented smoothly, more people will die if there is a war."
"Then if you can carry out the plan smoothly, if northern Xinjiang and southern Xinjiang fight internally, won't people die if they fight? The people of southern Xinjiang are also the people of the Northern Tang Dynasty."
Yu Wenhao was startled. He had never thought about this before. To plan the overall situation, he naturally used the simplest and most convenient method. If Southern Xinjiang fought on its own, the imperial court would not need to spend a single soldier. But if Southern Xinjiang fought,
After being defeated in the northern part of Xinjiang, the imperial court could easily capture it if it sent out more troops, so he was right with this plan.
Although I think Lao Yuan is being emotional, it would be very unfair to Man'er and Aunt Qing if everything else is taken away.
He also had a moment of doubt as to whether everything he had done before was correct.
He didn't say anything, and neither did Yuan Qingling, but both of them felt a little depressed.
The departure date has been set, and it will be early in the morning the day after tomorrow.
Yu Wenhao arranged for people to accompany Yu Wentian. When Lu Yuan came back from his business trip, he learned about this and asked Ying to go. He had worked as a spy in Xianbei and was highly skilled in martial arts and quite alert, so Yu Wen Hao agreed.
The Cui family also sent people to follow them. The Cui family has extensive connections, so it is not difficult to find a few experts.
The Fourth Master also said that he could provide help, but Yu Wenhao carried Xue Lang over to talk, and in the end the Fourth Master paid for it, so no help was needed.
Xiao Hongchen had been depressed since what happened to Lin Xiao. Perhaps he was heartbroken and wanted to take a risk to forget the heart-piercing pain and hatred, so he actually asked to take a few people with him.
With so many people accompanying him, Yuan Qingling was not so worried.
Now there was a difficult problem before her, which was whether to tell Man'er about Aunt Qing.
She thought about it and discussed it with Ah Si, but Ah Si had the same idea as Lao Wu, believing that the overall situation was important.
Later, she went to talk to her grandma.
After hearing this, grandma held her hand and whispered: "Ling'er, although everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country, what is the reason for the rise and fall of the country? This country is composed of individual people, and no one can ignore it.
Ah, what we are talking about now is not happiness, but human relations and family ties. Little Man'er is very pitiful. Her father died when she was young. She has been wandering around for so many years and only rarely meets her mother. If Aunt Qing dies,
, how cruel is that for them? In the big era, some people may be sacrificed, but the people in power try their best to give people the right to choose. You told Maner, she chooses to go or not to go, choose to cooperate or not
You can't force your cooperation. Besides, you can ask people to sacrifice, but you have to make it clear to them. What grandma said may just be a woman's kindness. You can think about it yourself."
Yuan Qing Ling nodded silently, yes, it is okay to make Man'er pay, but she must be willing to do so. Concealing this matter would create a rift between them.
So when she returned to Xiaoyue Pavilion, she called Man'er in and closed the door.
Man'er thought that Yuan Qingling found out that she was going to northern Xinjiang, so she quickly explained: "Princess, I just want to help you with something. If Princess Jing and Princess fall into the hands of the wizard, the consequences will be very serious."
Tragic."
Yuan Qingling pulled her to sit down and said seriously: "Man'er, I want to tell you something. Please listen to me patiently."
Man'er saw Yuan Qingling's serious face and sat a little stiffly, "What's the matter?"
Yuan Qingling said in a gentle tone: "Man'er, I have known some things for a long time, but I have never told you. I hope you don't blame me."
"How could it be? I will never blame the Crown Princess. It is you who took me in, so I have food to eat." Man'er showed a naive smile.
Yuan Qingling looked at the innocence and clarity in Man'er's eyes, held her hand and said, "What I want to talk about is your life experience. Your father is the King of Southern Xinjiang, and your mother is Aunt Qing from Prince Shun's Mansion."
Man'er was startled for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Princess, are you teasing me? How can I be the daughter of the King of Southern Xinjiang? Besides, Aunt Qing is so old, how can she be my mother?"
"
"It's absolutely true. You said you once dreamed of a fire. You dreamed that someone fell on the stone steps and bled a lot. That man was your father and the king of Southern Xinjiang. You were there when he was killed. You saw it.
." Yuan Qingling felt particularly uncomfortable when she said these words.
Man'er's smile slowly faded and he murmured: "It's impossible. How could the King of Southern Xinjiang be my father? I have parents. Although my parents are dead, everyone in our village knows them. I am
Growing up in the village, I remember this."
"You lived in the village. After you were taken away, you went to the village to hide your identity. I don't know why you lost your memory, but maybe you lost your memory because you wanted to protect you. Why did Aunt Qing show you so many times when she saw you?
So excited? Just because she knows."
"She misunderstood!" Man'er didn't believe it and shook his head, "Crown Princess, although I don't remember many things, I clearly remember that I am not the daughter of the King of Southern Xinjiang."
