After rebirth, I rejected the Regent, but he pursued me instead

"Zhou Jingcheng has appeared in the Western Regions. I have to go there so that I can help your father solve the border problems in the Western Regions more quickly."

"Why so sudden?"

Jiang Wanyu was a little dazed, and immediately slipped down from the swing, stood up straight, walked in front of him, and looked a little gloomy.

"Then when will you come back?"

"I'm afraid we'll have to wait until the war in the Western Region is over."

"Oh."

Jiang Wanyu didn't say anything else, but just lowered her head, with layers of emotions intertwined in her heart, including reluctance, sadness, and helplessness. After all, she knew that he had to go on this trip.

"I will wait for you to come back."

When he raised his head again, there were already red threads of reluctance in his eyes.

"I lied to you. I don't dislike you sticking to me, so come back soon."

"I will."

He stroked her cheek gently and held her in his arms.

It was hard for both her and him to leave, but they had to go.

"You must come back alive."

"Okay, I promise you."

-

Five days later, Song Qiyan left the capital and came to the Western Regions.

"Why are you here, kid? Why are you here instead of taking good care of Wanwan?"

"Father-in-law, you are joking. When the country is in trouble, men should be the vanguard. How can I stay in the capital? Besides, the war situation in the Western Regions is serious now. I am here by order of the court. I am afraid that father-in-law will have to work under me for the next few days."

Song Qiyan bowed and saluted.

"Huh, you are quite good at talking."

Jiang Yunan's stern face relaxed when he walked to Song Qiyan's side, and patted Song Qiyan on the back casually.

"Don't worry, I know the difference between high and low positions, and I dare not offend my superiors. Since the imperial court has entrusted the power to you, if you have any ideas on how to defeat the Western Regions, just tell me."

"Yes."

Song Qiyan nodded in praise.

"Also, we have to fight this battle quickly."

"Is father-in-law afraid that if he delays for too long, it will be disadvantageous to oppose us?"

Song Qiyan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Jiang Yunan who was standing beside him. Unexpectedly, he was slapped by Jiang Yunan.

"You are such a fool. You have abandoned my Wanwan in the capital, and Jiang Sheng and I have come to the Western Regions. It is so pitiful for Wanwan to stay in your shabby house alone. I have to send you back as soon as possible."

"Oh haha, so that's what happened."

Song Qiyan smiled awkwardly.

Naturally, he wanted to go back quickly, but now that this matter involved his "father", it might not be resolved in a short time.

As he spoke, Jiang Yunan looked at Jiang Wanyu with a sad face and said pitifully, "Wanwan is such a pitiful child. Her mother passed away early, and I was away fighting all the time, so I rarely saw her. Now that she has finally married, her husband has run away again."

He sighed softly, pointed at Song Qiyan and instructed, "You boy, remember to write a letter to Wanwan every day, so that Wanwan won't be bored."

"Yes, my father-in-law is right."

Song Qi Yan nodded hurriedly and sent Jiang Yu Nan away.

Not long after, Xie Langfeng walked in.

"You came really quickly."

Song Qiyan took a sip of tea and sat at the seat. He was obviously much more serious than the submissive look he had just shown to Jiang Yu Nan.

"Since he showed up, I'll come naturally. After all..."

Xie Langfeng glanced at Song Qiyan and said, "After all, I have to take his head. I hope you won't interfere when the time comes."

Song Qi Yan didn't say anything, but frowned slightly and put down the teacup.

"Xie Langfeng, to be honest with you, I just learned a secret not long ago."

"Oh? What is it that makes the "Regent" who holds all the power so concerned?"

Xie Langfeng continued speaking along the lines of Song Qiyan's words, trying to figure out the shrewd man in front of him.

"Could it be related to Zhou Jingcheng's sudden appearance?"

"You're right."

After a pause, Song Qiyan said.

"Do you remember what you said?"

"Oh? What are you talking about?"

Song Qiyan stepped down from the stage and walked to Xie Langfeng, "You said I look a lot like Zhou Jingcheng?"

"Oh, that's what you mean."

Xie Langfeng chuckled, narrowed his eyes slightly, and spoke as if intentionally or unintentionally.

"I just said it casually. Besides, Zhou Jingcheng is good at disguising himself, and not many people have seen his true face. I don't know which face he used to get along with us, maybe I was just blind and saw it wrong."

Xie Langfeng just spoke calmly, as if he really just recognized the wrong person, but that was not the case.

There are so many similar people in this world that he cannot identify one based on his appearance alone.

It was just that Song Nianci had mentioned to him before that before she left home, she saw a pregnant woman being abducted by his brother.

At that time, Song Nianci only felt pity for the woman, because according to her guess, the child in her belly was definitely not her brother's, and the woman was just taken away by her brother.

Therefore, based on his sister's words, and in connection with the Concubine Xian who was taken away by Song Chengzhong, it is not difficult to guess that the woman his sister might be talking about is the Concubine Xian.

"You don't have to test me anymore."

Song Qiyan turned around and glanced at Xie Langfeng, "You guessed right, I am Zhou Jingcheng's son. So, what about you? You want to kill me too."

"kill?"

Xie Langfeng smiled and followed his words, "If I want to kill you, will you let me live?"

"That's probably not possible."

After all, someone was waiting for him.

"But if you hate me, you can stab me a few times after the war. After all, I know that Fanyin is as important to you as Wanwan is to me."

"That sect leader is really generous."

Xie Langfeng chuckled, then stopped smiling and said seriously.

"Don't worry, I won't hate you. You saved me, and Wanwan went to find her sister's letter. The kindness you two showed me far outweighs my cruelty to Zhou Jingcheng. And I'm not as cruel as others, this is my principle. I'm only cruel to Zhou Jingcheng. Besides..."

Xie Langfeng glanced at the dark expression hidden in the man's face and said, "Besides, I'm afraid I'm not the only victim in this matter. So you can rest assured. I, Xie Langfeng, came here only to take down Zhou Jingcheng's head."

"in this way."

Song Qi Yan didn't say anything else, but tried to figure out what Xie Lang Feng was saying.

He naturally knew that the victim in Xie Langfeng's words was him.

But sometimes he would rather not have this pity...

"Don't worry, I won't stop you from killing Zhou Jingcheng. I did that before, and I will do it even more now. Now that he is standing in the enemy camp and is against our dynasty, I will naturally not let him go."

"It's just like what you said. I hate others less than I do. This world is not wrong, and there is no need for me to take the people of the world with me to be buried with it."

"Prince Jing is righteous."

Xie Langfeng bowed.

-

Later, Song Qiyan took over the power and, with the assistance of the Fu Sheng Sect, tried every means to break the situation in the Western Regions.

Just when the situation was about to turn around, an unexpected change forced the already planned outcome to be postponed.

"Come quickly, rescue General Jiang!"

When the bad news reached the military camp, Jiang Sheng was seen riding a horse and carrying Jiang Yu Nan, whose face was covered in blood, to the military camp.

"Someone, go find Xie Langfeng and save my father!"

Jiang Sheng called out hurriedly and rushed Jiang Yu Nan to the bed, waiting for treatment.

"Dad, Dad, wake up!"

Jiang Sheng held Jiang Yunan, who was lying on the hospital bed, pale, weak, dying, and covered with wounds. He lost consciousness for a moment, kneeling, shouting, and crying hysterically.

"Father, is this the great general you want to be? But how can you abandon us?"
