"… After the uprising, the imperial court was very strict. However, there were still many things that were secretly transported and sold here. After Husband was arrested, I have been secretly inquiring about these things. I had already prepared a batch of cloth. Later … Husband must have asked someone to pass the news to me. I don't know if it was true. That person was a little vague and said that there was a spy around me. So I checked the person around me … That person claimed to be Xing 'er's father … "
The room was still dark, and her voice was soft. Su Tan 'er had already regained her composure. She began to talk about her experiences over the past few days and the ins and outs of her return to Hangzhou. When he heard this, Ning Yi frowned. He knew that Xing 'er did not have a family by her side since she was young. Maybe she was kidnapped and sold when she was young, or maybe she was completely abandoned by her family because she was a girl. After she was sold into the Su family, she regarded the Su family as her only home. "Is it possible that it's true?"
"I don't know." Su Tan'er shook her head, "During the escape, there was one time when Xing'er's sleeve was torn and there was a small birthmark on her hand which was seen by that person. Later on, a couple came crying and shouting to acknowledge their relationship. At that time, I had a lot of things to do when I first arrived in Huzhou. I was worried about Husband's safety, so I didn't pay much attention to them. Xing 'er did not intend to acknowledge them at first. However, after pestering them for half a month and seeing their sincerity, Xing' er's heart softened. After Husband sent someone to inform me, I checked again. They were indeed in contact with the people here. There were also people behind them. I heard them talking about Husband, but they said that Husband had already joined them. At that time, it didn't seem like they had any evil intentions. The messenger from the imperial court was also vague … "
At this time, she slightly recovered. She wiped her tears, lit the oil lamp, poured some tea, and sat down beside Ning Yi. Her voice became lower and lower, and she sounded a little nervous. Ning Yi roughly pieced together what had happened from those words. Wenren Bu 'er took over his affairs and was directly responsible to Qin Siyuan. The person who was sent to Huzhou to inform Su Tan' er naturally did not have a high authority. At that time, Ning Yi did not pay much attention to it. He only felt that it was okay to tell Su Tan 'er that he was safe and then confirm that Su Tan' er was also safe. However, with Su Tan 'er's mood at that time, she naturally wanted to know more. After asking to no avail, she inevitably became worried.
After that, she investigated the situation of the spies around her, hoping to indirectly find out about Ning Yi's situation through the reverse investigation. If she did not have this ability, it would be fine. However, the Head of Business Operations was always trying to figure out people's minds. After finding out that Fang La did not seem to have much evil intentions towards her, she knew that Ning Yi was probably safe with Fang La. This meant that her Husband had temporarily gained their trust. This was either a false show of civility, or it was real.
When she was relieved, she recalled what happened on the way to Huzhou. It was normal for the enemy to chase and kill refugees. However, later on, she heard that it was a big shot who specifically wanted to catch her Husband. In this case, it was not possible for her Husband to escape. She was pregnant, so she could not help but worry too much. In the worst case scenario, the imperial court might want to use her to catch all the rebels and spies in Huzhou. It seemed that Ning Yi would not be able to return for a while, and the rebels seemed to have gained momentum. If the stalemate did not end in the future, it would become a situation where two imperial courts ruled separately. Then, no one knew how long this war and separation would last.
Of course, there were some details that Ning Yi could only find out from the mouths of the maidservants later. After they were separated during the war, Su Tan'er returned to Huzhou. When she could not find out about his situation, she almost lost all hope. During that period of time, she desperately gritted her teeth and used her connections to inquire about him. She almost neglected the baby in her womb. Later on, when she learned that Ning Yi was not dead, she felt relieved. At the same time, Su Tan'er also seemed to have come back to life. In that state and with the baby in her womb, she felt that they should never be separated again as husband and wife.
The spies did not reveal any malicious intentions, but the imperial court was ambiguous. Since Ning Yi could not return, the only way was for her to come over. Based on her thoughts at that time, she was definitely not willing to sit there and wait. However, now that she was reunited with Ning Yi, she was a little worried that she was too rash. Perhaps Ning Yi felt that she was too rash, so her voice became even softer.
"... I changed my identity and used other means to contact the people behind the spies. In Huzhou, I asked Xing'er to maintain the facade that I was still here. I came two days ago, so no one should have been alerted. I used my connection to contact Lord Min of the Ministry of Personnel. They want a batch of good cloth to make official robes... Husband, I've thought about it. If you can't leave, I won't leave either... "
Ning Yi held her hand and pulled her into his embrace. After a long while, he said in a low voice, "You still have to leave..." After a while, he said, "I'm very happy that you can come over."
Su Tan'er raised her head. "Then Husband, you..."
"I'll be fine." Ning Yi smiled. "Since you brought the cloth here, you can definitely get a pass to leave, right?"
In his arms, his wife nodded and looked at him eagerly. "A batch of cloth will arrive the day after tomorrow, and then they will give us a pass to leave the city. Husband, at that time, we can go together..."
"I can't. You can take Xiaochan away." Ning Yi shook his head and said, "If I want to go like this, I can go out of the city, but now Hangzhou is their territory. Once I disappear, I can't go to a safe place, and they will definitely catch up with me. You are pregnant, so you can't take the risk. As long as I stay, you will definitely be able to leave. "
Right now, he already had quite a lot of weight in Liu Guihua's heart. He had just ignited the flame in Liu Guihua's heart. If he dared to walk away now, since the pregnant Su Tan 'er could kill her way back to Hangzhou from Huzhou, Liu Guihua, whose reverse scale had been touched, would definitely chase him to the ends of the earth. This kind of woman was more stubborn and difficult to deal with than a man. But on the contrary, as long as he did not leave, sending Xiaochan away was just a small matter, and Liu Guihua would not be too angry. Even if something unexpected happened, Liu Guihua might even help Tan'er and Xiaochan to protect them.
This matter could basically be settled. Su Tan 'er had already seen him and made sure that he was safe and sound, so she didn't insist too much. However, her expression was a little gloomy, "What do you plan to do here, my husband?"
At this time, Ning Yi could not tell her the details of the Dominator's Saber Camp. He just roughly told her about his situation, that he was forced to be an advisor. He also told her about Wenren Bu Er's situation, so that she would not suspect him again.
"The people under Elder Qin are trustworthy. They are different from the soldiers of the imperial court. On your way out, I will also ask them to send people to take care of you. I am now in a difficult position. If I really escape from here, I am afraid that they will have many ways to track me. I have been in Hangzhou for a long time, and I have seen some things. Elder Qin wants to do something, and I may go to Jing City to help him in the future. Since I can intervene now, I might as well take the opportunity to do something. It is not a big problem. After the matter with Fang La is settled, I am sure that I can escape safely. You can rest in Huzhou, or you can just go back to Jiangning and wait for me. "
"I am in Huzhou." Su Tan'er looked at him for a while, and then lowered her head. "You men always have to serve the country and the people. I am just a little woman. If you want to do something, I don't care. Like I said, if you don't come back … I can't live anymore … "She said this, and tears flowed down her face. She wiped them with her hands. But she was a strong woman after all. This time, she only choked for a while, and then she wiped her tears and returned to normal. They talked for a while, and when they talked about the details of letting Xiaochan leave with him, Su Tan'er remembered something.
"Oh, by the way, I picked up a martial arts master this time."
"Ah?"
"Just like in the stories you told me before, Husband. She is a heroine. On our way to the south, she seemed to be chased by her enemies, so she hid with us. Later on, she took care of us a lot. Yesterday, when we were preparing to deliver the goods, someone tried to deliberately make things difficult for us, but she knocked him down in a few moves. Husband, you haven't met her, right? "
Speaking of this, Su Tan'er laughed. Ning Yi also laughed. It was nothing more than a friendship between his wife and another woman who knew martial arts. If it had been two years ago, he would have been quite curious. But these days in Hangzhou, he had seen many martial arts masters, and there were many from the Tyrant's Saber Camp. As for the heroine, it sounded very beautiful, but it made people feel more complicated. Except for Liu Watermelon, Wei Lingxue, the Fairy of Lingshan, had a square face, and Ji Qian'er, the "Mandarin Duck Blade" of the Tyrant's Saber Camp, was just a village girl. She was married to Liu Zhizhang, the advisor of the Tyrant's Saber Camp, who was a little familiar with Ning Yi. She usually made dirty jokes, and she was no worse than a man. Of course, since he had escorted his wife all the way down, he was still grateful.
"Is she very good at martial arts?"
He asked. Su Tan'er thought for a while and nodded. "I think so. She should be very good at martial arts. She has her own things to do, but we have been living together in the yard for two days. I think … Uh, Husband, when you go out later, you'd better avoid her. "
Ning Yi nodded. "Didn't she say why she opened this place?"
"No. She is quite a nice person. She gets along well with Juan'er and me."
"In that case, tell me her name and nickname. Maybe I have heard of her. Since we are friends, if I hear of her in Hangzhou in the future, I might be able to help her. "
"Okay." Su Tan'er smiled and nodded. "Nickname … I haven't heard her talk about it. I don't think she has it …"
So she is a nobody. I can help her as much as possible in the future. Ning Yi thought to himself. Then, he heard his wife continue, "Her surname is Lu, and her maiden name is Hongti."
Ning Yi opened his mouth, and his expression froze. Beside him, his wife stretched out her finger and wrote in the air to deepen his impression. "Lu is the Lu from One, Two, Three, Four, Five. Red as in red, Ti as in carrying things … Lu Hongti. She is not very pretty, and her face is a little yellow. I heard that she was injured when she was young. She is about 30 years old … Husband? "
"… She lives here now?"
"Yes."
"… I think we should meet her and thank her in person."
"Husband … You know her?"
"Old acquaintance." Ning Yi stood up, looked at his wife, and sighed. Then, he said, "River and Mountain Iron Sword Lu Hongti … Well, her nickname is River and Mountain Iron Sword …"
He put his hands behind his back and pretended that he had experienced the vicissitudes of life and the loneliness of a master. It was as if his Bloody Hand Butcher had once defeated River and Mountain Iron Sword.
His heart was in a mess, and he felt a sense of dislocation … Ha, what kind of god was this …
