Chapter 1708: All A Lie?

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was not until evening that Xue Yan returned from the county.

The baby had not seen her father for the entire day. When she saw her father return, she opened her arms and asked for a hug.

Xue Yan smiled as he took the baby from Jiang Yue’s arms. He then said to Jiang Yue, “When I went to the county to handle some matters, I also made arrangements while I was there. In two days, Qu Xiao will go to the county’s posthouse to stay and pretend that he has been found. The one-month deadline given by Dongxiao is almost up. They’ve already sent people to the border. When the deadline is up, Dongxiao would want an explanation. When that time comes we can say that Qu Xiao has been found and that he’s fine. We can then continue to head to the capital city to discuss the friendship between the two countries. I’ve already told my guards to inform Liao Xiaodong and the others. Liao Xiaodong and the others did not tell the Dongxiao team anything. They would talk about it in two days. They have to pass by Yiran. At that time, they would meet up with Qu Xiao at Xinyuan. If the envoy group sees Qu Xiao, they will send someone back to Dongxiao to inform Xia Houzheng of the news.”

“Then we’ll live together in the county in two days.” Jiang Yue said. “After the group meets up with Qu Xiao, we will continue to the capital city. Xia Houzheng would be able to deal with Qu Chuo within two days, and he would have all the power in his hands, Qu Xiao would be in even more danger. Moreover, there are Xia Houzheng’s people on the diplomatic team, so he would be safer with us by his side. The weather is neither too hot nor too cold now, and the diplomatic team is traveling slowly. If we go together, the baby will be able to take it and will be very happy to be outside. She has always liked to be outside and see different things. It feels fresh to her.”

Perhaps she understood her mother’s words, but the baby made two happy sounds as if she was agreeing with her.

Xue Yan immediately smiled.

Jiang Yue also curled the corners of her mouth.

Therefore, two days later — which was also the deadline day given by Dongxiao — Jiang Yue and Xue Yan brought their baby and Qu Xiao to the county’s posthouse to stay.

He had also told his family that they would be out for a longer time this time.

The family did not know exactly what they were going to do, but they knew that they were going to the capital. If they rode a horse, they would arrive in the capital in three to four days. However, they were taking a carriage. They also had a baby with them, so it would naturally be much slower. The weather would probably get hot by the time they arrived in the capital. It would usually be hot for one to two months. On such a hot day, the family did not want Jiang Yue and Xue Yan to rush back with the baby. They were afraid that the baby would get a heatstroke, so the family told Jiang Yue and Xue Yan not to rush back. They even said to only bring the baby back when the weather turned cold.

This was the baby’s first time going on a long journey. She would not be able to see her family for at least two to three months. Liu Guixia and the others kept a good look at the baby before leaving. The baby probably thought that she was playing and was even happily babbling to them.

Liu Guixia and the others tried their best to keep their smiles.

It was also on this day that the Dongxiao troops at the border of Da Ling said that the one-month deadline was up. The general guarding the border of Da Ling told them that Qu Xiao had been found and that nothing had happened. He also said that he would continue to go to the capital city to discuss the relationship between the two countries.

Naturally, he lied that Qu Xiao was kidnapped when the guards were lax, and that Qu Xiao was smart enough to escape. Qu Xiao had seen with his own eyes that the people who kidnapped Qu Xiao seemed to be Qu Chuo’s men. Now, the person who kidnapped him had been killed by Da Ling because of his desperate resistance.

This lie was not written by Xue Yan. Xue Yan just let the border general create a lie based on the situation.
