Chapter 232: Being Caught in the Crossfire
After she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered that everyone in Yaowang Valley knew Liu Rui. She put away the night-shining pearl and said to her grandfather, "Grandpa, let's go back first."
After she finished speaking, she came to the place where she had just been humiliated, picked up her torn clothes, and left with a cold face.
Shen Qi hurriedly followed her.
When Mu Jinxuan saw Shen Ruolan leaving, he also left.
After they left, a dark shadow carefully crawled out from a narrow crevice. He covered his unwell body and ran out of the cave.
However, he didn't run a few steps before he was stopped by the culprit who arrested him. Liu Rui asked him warily, "Who are you? I haven't offended you, why do you want to hurt me like this?"
Although he liked Shen Ruolan's beauty very much, he knew who he could play with and who he could not play with.
Just like Shen Ruolan, although he liked her very much, she was the granddaughter of the old genius doctor Shen, and not everyone could afford to offend her.
Yuan Munging looked at him and sneered, saying, "You useless spineless fellow, I'd better send you to see the King of Hell."
After she finished speaking, she raised her sword and rushed towards Liu Rui.
Because Liu Rui had seen his true face and he had not completed the mission, there was no point in keeping him around, so it would be better to kill him and cause trouble for Yaowang Valley.
When Liu Rui saw that Yuan Munging wanted to kill him, he didn't know where he got the strength from, but he pushed Yuan Munging away and jumped down into the cave.
Yuan Munging originally wanted to fly after him, but when he thought of the terrain from the cave to the bottom of the mountain, he stopped abruptly. If he could survive by jumping from here, it would only mean that he was lucky.
After Yuan Munging gave up chasing Liu Rui, she looked for her subordinates in the cave. Seeing that they were all beaten beyond recognition by Shen Qi's soft shit, she clenched her fists and said in the direction of Shen Qi: "Old thing, I won't let you go."
As soon as she finished speaking, she flew away and disappeared from the spot.
Two quarters of an hour later, Shen Ruolan was brought back home by Shen Qi. After she washed up and changed her clothes, Shen Qi hurriedly asked Shen Ruolan, "Lan'er, tell grandpa quickly, what happened?"
After Shen Ruolan heard her grandfather's question, she looked at him and asked, "Grandpa, have you ever offended anyone?"
Judging from the tone of that person tonight, she must have a grudge against my grandfather, and she was implicated and caught in the crossfire.
Shen Qi was silent for a moment after hearing his granddaughter's question. He then said to Shen Ruolan, "Grandpa has devoted all his energy to finding your mother since she disappeared, and he hasn't offended anyone."
Shen Ruolan shook her head at her grandfather and said, "Grandpa, from the tone of his voice, I think your hatred existed before my mother disappeared."
Shen Ruolan's words made Shen Qi feel confused. All his life, Shen Qi had always been a man of courage and responsibility. He would avenge his hatred and grudges immediately, and there was no such thing as a feud.
Seeing that her grandfather couldn't remember, Shen Ruolan had to remind him bluntly: "Grandpa, when you were young, did you ever let down other women?"
Shen Ruolan's words made Liu Gu and others present widen their eyes instantly.
Their master really dared to ask everything. After all, this was a private matter of the older generation. It was inappropriate for her, a junior, and a female junior at that, to ask such questions.
Shen Ruolan's words reminded Shen Qi of the scene forty years ago when Yuan Lingshan came to him with her child in her arms.
However, apart from his wife, he had never had any other woman in his life, so when Yuan Lingshan came to him with her child, he humiliated her and the two never saw each other again.
Thinking of this, Shen Qi looked at his granddaughter and asked, "Lan'er, what did that person say to you?"
After listening to her grandfather's questions, Shen Ruolan told him truthfully what the man in black had said to her.
After Shen Qi understood what happened, he sighed deeply and said to his granddaughter, "I'm sorry, Lan'er. It's all because of grandpa's insufficiency that you have been wronged."
After he finished speaking, he paused and continued, "But don't worry, after your mother's matter is over, grandpa will give you an explanation."
Shen Ruolan nodded to her grandfather and said nothing more.
Because she was in a really bad mood tonight.
Shen Qi knew that Shen Ruolan was frightened tonight, so he said to her, "You should stay with the children tonight to rest. I'll have someone guard the village entrance for you."
"Okay," Shen Ruolan responded.
She was indeed not in a good condition tonight to keep vigil.
After Shen Qi gave his granddaughter instructions, he walked out of the door.
Ziyuan quickly followed and asked, "Master Shen, what should we do with Mu Jin and Ji Han's poison?"
Seeing that her wife was in a bad mood, Ziyuan did not disturb her, so she had to ask the old doctor Shen.
After all, they didn't have many people to begin with, and now they were suddenly two less helpers. If anything else happened later, they wouldn't be able to handle it alone.
The main reason is that the two little masters are too young and need to be left alone, otherwise, she wouldn’t be so anxious.
After Shen Qi heard what Ziyuan said, he paused for a moment and said to her, "I'll have someone send the antidote over later."
After hearing what Shen Qi said, Ziyuan thanked him and said, "Thank you, old doctor Shen."
Shen Qi looked at Ziyuan and said, "Take good care of Lan'er and her son."
"Yes," Shion replied.
After Shen Ruolan's grandfather left, she fell asleep with a tired look on her face. But she did not sleep very well tonight.
Bei Ming, on an official road under the jurisdiction of a certain city, Yan Mo suddenly found his master with a note and said, "Master, there is a letter from Mu Jin."
Jiang Dichen heard the letter from Mu Jin. He put down the map in his hand and said to his subordinates, "Hurry and bring it to me."
After Jiang Dichen returned to the capital, he received news that the State of Yan was attacking Bei Ming. The emperor was very angry with him at that time, and in a rage, he sent him to the border to fight the enemy.
"Yes," Yan Mo said, and quickly opened the note and handed it to his master.
Jiang Dichen took the note and read it carefully. Although Mu Jin only wrote a few short sentences, it contained a lot of information. One of them was that the State of Yan was sending a large number of troops to the border.
Second, his daughter was in danger on the road. Seeing this, Jiang Dichen's heart couldn't help but wrench in his heart. The two children were his flesh and blood. If anything happened to them, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.
If he was worried about his daughter almost getting into trouble, then the third incident made Jiang Dichen so angry that he almost vomited blood. He tightly grasped the note and said with a gloomy face: "Since you dare to attack my woman, I don't mind, I will flatten your Yan State."
As soon as he finished speaking, he ordered the deputy general behind him: "Come here, pass the order down and continue on the road. This time, I will definitely flatten every corner of his Yan State!"
Jiang Dichen's words made Yan Mo's eyebrows jump. He looked at his furious master and asked, "Master, what happened?"
Jiang Dichen threw the note to him and said expressionlessly, "Look for yourself."
