Children of Loulan

Chapter 310 Reuniting with Them

At the same time, not far from the city gate, the prime minister was watching the fierce fighting at the city gate with a solemn expression. The elite private soldiers he had raised for many years were now completely killed or wounded, fighting to the last man. However, even so, they still failed to change the situation, and instead let their family fall into the hands of the enemy again.

At this moment, the powerful prime minister stood in the woods, staring blankly at the city gate, his eyes revealing endless despair and sadness. He slowly turned his head and whispered to the middle-aged man who was following him: "Go... hide your identity from now on and live a peaceful and stable life. Don't get involved in the court full of intrigues and struggles anymore. Living well is the most important thing!"

The middle-aged man was shocked when he heard this. He shook his head and refused without hesitation: "No, lord! I can't leave! If you hadn't saved me, I would have become a pile of bones. My life was given by you. Even if I have to go through fire and water and die, I am willing to do it! Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, as long as I can open a way for you, I will not hesitate to die!"

The prime minister looked at this loyal subordinate and was touched, but more of a feeling of helplessness and sadness. He sighed and said in a trembling voice: "Too many people have died... I really can't bear to see anyone else lose their life because of me!"

However, the middle-aged man was not moved at all. He knelt on the ground, kowtowed heavily, and begged with tears in his voice: "Please show mercy to the Lord. Let me swear to follow you until death! In this life, we will never be separated!"

The prime minister gazed at him with a gentle and gratified look, and couldn't help but sighed softly. "Since you really want to repay my kindness, the first thing you have to do is to live well. I need you to thoroughly investigate who secretly mobilized the 5,000 soldiers. If it weren't for this person who transferred the troops without authorization, we would have been able to successfully rescue my family. Therefore, this person is my sworn enemy, and it was he who caused my family to fall into despair! After you find out the truth, if you feel that you have enough ability, you must avenge this blood feud for me; but if the other party's power is too large and you can't compete with it with your strength, it doesn't matter. At that time, you only need to come to my grave and tell me, and when he passes away one day, I will personally find him to settle this blood debt!"

The middle-aged man looked at the prime minister in astonishment, his lips slightly opened as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he did not open his mouth.

The Prime Minister raised his hand and decisively interrupted the words he was about to say: "This is the last important matter I entrust to you!"

The middle-aged man slowly lowered his head and responded in a low but firm voice: "I will live up to your trust. Even if I have to try my best, I will find out the person who harmed my lord and give him justice!" After that, he knelt on one knee and saluted the prime minister in person, expressing his determination and loyalty.

The Prime Minister nodded slightly to show his approval, and said slowly: "It is of course very important to find out the truth, but at the moment, your life is the most important thing. This is because you are the only one who knows the truth, and there is no one around to help you. If you die because of your insistence on finding the truth, then there will be no one to take over your investigation. Remember this point, do you understand?"

The middle-aged man looked solemn and replied in a low voice: "I will keep it in mind!"

After he finished speaking, the Prime Minister slowly turned around and looked towards the city gate. His eyes were firm and he stepped forward resolutely. Seeing this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but screamed, "My Lord, you..."

However, the Prime Minister did not stop, but just turned his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "My family is all controlled by the king. If I fail to show up, the king will kill my relatives one by one. The only way now is for me to show up in person, so that the king can feel at ease."

After saying this, the prime minister did not look back, and walked away steadily. The middle-aged man watched the prime minister leave, and was extremely sad. He wanted to follow him immediately and live and die with the prime minister. But then he thought again, he was shouldering the important task entrusted by the prime minister, and he must not act on impulse. So he knelt on his knees, kowtowed several times, and cried, "I respectfully send you off, my lord! May you have a good journey!"

At this time, the prime minister still strode forward and shouted loudly: "You should leave this place quickly. In a moment, they will come to search the mountain to see if there are any fish that have escaped. Don't delay the opportunity, so as not to fall into danger! Remember to stay alive!" After that, the prime minister's figure gradually disappeared in the distance.

After the middle-aged man kowtowed three times respectfully, tears burst out like a flood. His lips trembled and he said in tears, "I obey your command!" As soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly wiped the tears from his face with his sleeves, suppressed his grief and sorrow, stood up suddenly, and rushed towards the back mountain like an arrow from a bow.

At this moment, he had only one firm belief in his heart - he must not be caught by the enemy! He must live, and live well! Because he knew that he had a heavy responsibility, which was to find out who was secretly plotting against him for his lord, and after the truth was revealed, he would avenge his lord and let those treacherous villains get the punishment they deserved.

At the same time, the thrilling war at the city gate had come to an end. After a fierce fight, the rebels were finally annihilated, and no one could escape the punishment of justice. The virtuous concubine and others were once again caught by the law and became prisoners. Just as Ankar was about to lead his men to take these criminals back to the prison, suddenly, a deep and familiar voice cut through the air, abruptly interrupting his actions.

"General An, long time no see!" These words came out of nowhere like a thunderbolt, shocking Ankar's whole body. He turned his head subconsciously, and saw that very familiar face - the escaped prime minister actually appeared before his eyes! Looking at that cunning and sinister face, Ankar showed an expression of disbelief on his face. He never thought that this extremely evil person would have the courage to show up here on his own initiative.

After a brief moment of shock, Ankar calmed down and responded, "Oh, it's the Prime Minister! I wonder what brings you here this time?"

The prime minister had a faint smile on his face, but there was a hint of bitterness and helplessness in his smile. He slowly said, "General An, you are really embarrassing me. I am now a prisoner, how can I be worthy of being called 'Sir' by you? Now, my family is all under your control. I came here just to reunite with them." The virtuous concubine standing beside him widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief.
