Rebirth Strategy: Please let me go

Chapter 382 An Jia is guilty

An Ruhe's face turned black after being scolded. The most unexpected thing about the whole incident was Gu Qingchen's identity.

And how that child knew those secrets.

How could he save people in that situation? Millions of people and hundreds of thousands of troops were waiting for him to go back and settle down. The barbarian pursuers were watching eagerly. If he didn't give up those thousand people, he would endanger the people behind him.

In an emergency, he had to sacrifice the less important than the more important. Giving up those more than a thousand people was not what he wanted to do.

And that kid, when a storm was raging at the frontier, the battle with the barbarians lasted for half a year, and the grain depot was empty and food was still arriving. He had no choice but to find another way and ask An Jinran to take away half of the troops in the city. , using the cover of the storm to reach the enemy's rear and seize food and grass.

But he never thought that when his troops were empty, the barbarians brought hostages to the city gate and asked to enter the city for negotiations.

Thousands of women, children, old and weak people in the town were praying for protection behind him. If he relented and asked them to go into the city for negotiations, he would undoubtedly lead the wolf into the house.

The barbarians were tall and brutal, and since most of his troops were outside the city, he couldn't let them enter the city. It wasn't because he didn't believe in himself, but because he couldn't risk the lives of the people behind him.

Seeing that he refused to negotiate, the barbarians immediately beheaded the dozens of hostages at the city gate.

An Ruhe would never forget that scene in his life, the disappearance of all the fresh lives in the storm. From this moment on, he vowed to be incompatible with the barbarians.

He sent troops, but the tragedy had already occurred. Even if he killed all the barbarians, he could not save those who died at the hands of the barbarians, nor could he wash away his sins.

He asked people to simply bury the Yuan people who died at the hands of the barbarians on the outskirts of the city, and offered incense to them, hoping to calm down the heavy guilt in his heart.

From that day on, whenever An Ruhe closed his eyes every night, he would see a pair of desperate eyes in front of the city gate that day.

Days and nights, he sat up in shock in his dreams, thinking of the more than a thousand people he had given up and those who refused to save him in front of the city gate. He felt filled with regret, feeling ashamed of the people's trust in him, and of the emperor and his ancestors.

He instinctively fears and avoids, thinking that he can be saved as long as he wins this battle. In fact, he is just deceiving himself.

Even if he tried his best to cover up some things, he still couldn't cover them up. Ku Ming Ran'er knew that he was wrong but still helped him cover up the truth. As a general, he and his father really failed.

"It was my son who was wrong. He has already written a confession and plans to enter the palace on a certain day to plead guilty."

An Ruhe knelt in front of Mrs. An: "My son came to bid farewell to his mother today. In this matter, my son is a general and disregards the life and death of the people. He is ashamed of the ancestral precepts of my An family. Faced with the fact that his adopted son has not fulfilled his father's responsibilities, he went to In front of the Holy Master, I may not be able to protect the honor of Anjia. My son is unworthy of his mother and unworthy of Anjia. If he can return safely this time, he will fulfill his filial piety at the knees of his mother again."

An Ruhe's words made Old Mrs. An burst into tears. Faced with the righteousness of life and death, no matter how angry she was, she finally softened her heart. She looked at An Ruhe and said, "Go ahead. My An family is from a poor family. I am satisfied with the honor I have now. The worst I can do is give up this splendor and go to the countryside to farm. It’s just that your wife has suffered so much and she shouldn’t have to suffer like this. Now she has to suffer with us.”

Mrs. An looked at Mrs. Qu aside. Before she could speak, Mrs. Qu said, "Mother, where your husband is, your daughter-in-law will be there."

As soon as Mrs. An said this, she smiled happily, and there was no need to say the rest of the words. She only said the last words to An Ruhe: "Go and apologize to the emperor, and give me a message for Chen'er and me. It's me An Jia who feels sorry for him, but the thing is that my An Jia's fault has nothing to do with Yan Yatou, so let him let Yan Yatou go."

An Ruhe nodded, kowtowed three times, stood up and left the room.

An Jinran had already arrived when they said they were going to plead guilty, and he walked out only after An Ruhe left.

I didn't come out just now because I was afraid of hurting my father's self-esteem. A man who was once so high-spirited and high-spirited is now having to offset more than ten years of achievements because of the lives of more than a thousand people. This is so unfair.

He has accompanied his father through life and death countless times. The battlefield is cruel, and it is not as simple as others think.

It cannot be said that his Anjia is faultless, but in such a situation, the overall situation must be taken into consideration.

Ah Chen had never been on the battlefield, so he didn't know the cruelty of marching and fighting. Sometimes, it wasn't because they wanted to give up, but because they had no choice but to do it.

Seeing him coming, Mrs. An waved her hand and called him over.

"You heard everything your father said. Do you have any complaints?"

An Jinran kept a cold face and said nothing for a long time: "I'm sorry. Let's not mention the pain my father suffered at the frontier for more than ten years. This war is life and death. How can a mere thousand people treat my father like this? Then fighting is as simple as eating."

"Confused." Mrs. An scolded him with a straight face: "I am old and confused, but you are still young, how come you don't know that this is the Holy One warning me An Jia?"

"Did you help your sister about Chen'er?"

An Jinran thought for a while: "Yes."

When Gu Qingchen was flogged and poisoned, the An family was indifferent to the fact that he was a barbarian spy, and only asked Yanyan to do the work. Although he also hated the barbarians, Gu Qingchen finally called him big brother. How could he not save him? , searching everywhere to find medicinal materials for him, which can be considered as fulfilling a big brother's responsibility.

"That's good, that's good." Old Mrs. An muttered: "You kids are not confused, but I am."

"Mom, don't worry. My wife also gave me medicine for Chen'er. I hope that Chen'er's child won't bear too much grudge against our An family." Mrs. Qu spoke up.

But who would have expected that Mrs. An not only did not feel relaxed when she heard her words, but instead smiled bitterly and said: "I intercepted your medicine, and I also hid the Gastrodia elata plant in my warehouse."

Qu's body stiffened and she was a little surprised: "Mother...didn't you mean..."

She originally asked her servants to send the medicine to Yanyan, but the servants came back and reported that the medicine had been taken away by Mrs. An's mother-in-law.

Mr. Qu asked her later, and she said that the medicine had been sent to Yanyan, so Mr. Qu didn't think much about it.

Unexpectedly, the medicine was not delivered at all. If she remembered correctly, Gastrodia elata was the most important medicine in that prescription.

Gastrodia elata is hard to find, but Anjia has one. If Yanyan didn't get Gastrodia elata, how did Chen'er get rid of the poison?

She didn't forget that when Chen'er showed up at the engagement banquet, he was clearly detoxified, and he hadn't returned to the palace at that time.

"If Yanyan hadn't gotten the Gastrodia elata plant, how could the poison on Chen'er's body be cured?" She asked her doubts.

An Jinran thought for a moment: "Maybe my little sister found the medicine elsewhere."

But all three of them knew how hard it was to find Gastrodia elata, and it would be difficult to find so many rare herbs in such a short period of time.

Mrs. An is not troubled by this: "It has happened, it is no longer important how to detoxify. You can go, I am tired."

She had a strange look on her face, but Qu and An Jinran were both thinking about medicinal materials and didn't pay attention. They both left the room when she said they were tired.

Mrs. An closed her eyes and leaned on the couch, slowly closing her eyes while looking at the window grilles on the window sill.

Today's day is really good, I don't know how many more times I can watch it.
