It was necessary to be wary of others.
Who would have thought that the army of a hundred thousand left behind by the Imperial Duke would branch off into bandits and become a hidden force?
They had cleverly avoided the eyes of the court and Qi Zhen Emperor.
What was even more unexpected was that the Liu Gang that the seven brothers were in charge of was actually one of the 100,000 strong army. If it weren't for the conflict between the seven brothers, which led to the dissolution of the Liu Gang, they wouldn't have lost their main force.
Zhao Huai replied, "The army in the north has already dispersed, and there aren't many soldiers left in my camp. However, when the time comes, I'll definitely recall my brothers. I won't hesitate even if I have to fight to the last man."
Full of vigor!
He was already prepared to fight to the death.
That day, he said that he had dismissed his brothers in the stronghold, but that was just a pretense.
After all, the matter had already alarmed the court. If they did not disband, they would be eaten by others.
Eaten by others!
Old Master Wen sighed. "Back then, when your father and I went to war, you were just a baby. Now, you're already so big, and you even have the same vigor as your father back then. Your father's spirit in heaven will comfort you."
"My father waited for more than ten years so that he could one day find the Little Heir and avenge the Imperial Duke. As his son, I, as his son, must fulfill the last wish that he was unable to fulfill."
"I will." Old Master Wen was very resolute, but in the next moment, his face was full of worry. He paced out of the hall and looked at the full moon hanging in the sky. "But what I'm most worried about now is how to tell this matter to the Little Heir. I want him to take the Tiger Seal token left behind by the Lord and lead a hundred thousand soldiers into the capital."
Hearing this, Zhao Huai stepped forward, "Uncle Wen, we must find the best time to tell the Little Heir the truth. There is no hurry. Since we have waited for fourteen years, a few more days won't matter."
He was right!
However, Madam Wen was a woman after all. She held back her tears and said urgently, "Since we have to tell him sooner or later, why not make it clear now? I see that the Little Heir is very close to that prince. The longer we delay, the worse it will be."
Her concern was not without reason.
If the person who ordered the burning of the Imperial Duke was Qi Zhen Emperor, then the son would have to pay his father's debt and Jing Rong would also be the Little Heir's enemy.
However, the relationship between the two of them was very close. Madam Wen was worried that the Little Heir would be lenient because of this. Wouldn't that be a waste of time?
Old Master Wen understood her concerns and sighed. "Let's wait a little longer."
…
By the time Zhang Xuan returned to the Anchang Manor, it was already very late.
Mo Ruo and Tang Si were both a little drunk and they staggered back to their respective rooms.
Jing Rong escorted Ji Yunshu to her courtyard.
In the courtyard, the skeleton was still there. Although it was covered with a white cloth, it was still frightening to look at it in the middle of the night.
"Hurry up and rest," said Ji Yunshu.
However, he had a shameless look on his face. "I'm still tipsy. I can't sleep."
"Then sit in the yard for a while. I'll ask Qiao 'er to make you a bowl of hangover soup."
"Alright."
Having succeeded in his shameless act, he smirked and obediently sat down on a stone bench in the courtyard.
Ji Yunshu also called Qiao 'er over and asked her to make a bowl of hangover soup.
Under the moonlight, the two of them sat in the courtyard, accompanied by a gentle breeze as they gazed at the moon above their heads.
After a while, Jing Rong's gaze slowly fell on her delicate and well-defined face.
This woman was really beautiful!
Even though she was dressed in men's clothes, it was difficult to conceal her enchanting aura.
Jing Rong's lips curled up and he smiled at her.
Ji Yunshu lowered her eyes and met his gaze.
"What are you looking at?"
"You."
"What's there to look at about me?"
"You look good everywhere."
This man's mouth seemed to be smeared with honey.
Ji Yunshu turned her head away and did not reply.
Jing Rong, however, was amused.
He leisurely said, "If I'm not here to investigate a case, Yufu County would be a place worth visiting."
Wasn't that right?
Birdsong and fragrant flowers!
Winding mountains and rivers!
Secluded and elegant!
Ji Yunshu poured a bucket of cold water on him. "You have to put more effort into the disaster relief funds. Don't always think of nonsense."
"This Prince has his own plans." Jing Rong was full of confidence. He deliberately glanced at the skeleton beside him and nodded slightly. "What about you? You won't let this thing stay here forever, right? "
Thing?
Brother, aren't you afraid that Ye 'er will appear in your dreams at night?
Ji Yunshu said, "Tomorrow, I'll go to the Qiao Estate."
"Then I'll let Ziran follow you."
"No need. You know that he and Zijin don't get along well. If they stay together, there's no telling what will happen. If that happens, I'll have to be the peacemaker and waste time."
Every word she said was the truth!
Jing Rong thought for a moment. "Then bring Miss Tang along. At least she knows martial arts. If you're at a disadvantage, she can help you."
Ji Yunshu fiercely rolled her eyes at him. "I'm not going to quarrel. I'm going to investigate a case."
She emphasized.
Jing Rong was determined to push this hot potato to her. "In any case, just bring her along. Just take it as a precaution."
Ji Yunshu had no choice but to agree.
Not long after, Qiao 'er brought over a bowl of hangover soup and silently retreated.
"That lass is so obedient." Jing Rong praised her and drank a few mouthfuls of the soup.
His drunkenness seemed to have dissipated a little, and his eyes became more spirited.
Suddenly, he thought of something and asked her, "That Old Master Wen and Madame Wen … seem to be very concerned about you."
Ah!
Ji Yunshu asked, "You noticed it too?"
"It's so obvious, how could I not? Could it be that they have a favor to ask of you? Or is there something else? "
"It shouldn't be because they have a favor to ask of me." She pondered and shook her head. "I don't think Old Master Wen and Madame Wen want to be in trouble. I don't know what's going on, but they can't treat me so warmly just because I took care of Little Xiyue for a few days, right?"
Of course not!
Jing Rong reminded her, "No matter what, there might be something fishy going on. You have to be careful. Without this Prince, you're not allowed to go there alone. After all, it's necessary to be vigilant."
"I know."
… …
The next morning.
"Ah!"
An earth-shattering sound rang out from Tang Si's room.
At this moment, Tang Si was sitting on the messy bed, holding a bundle of bedding in her hands. Her face was full of shock and anger as she looked at Mo Ruo, who had been kicked off the bed.
Mo Ruo frowned and rubbed his butt as he got up from the ground.
"Beast!"
Huh?
Who was she calling a beast?
Mo Ruo shook his head to clear his mind. Only then did he realize that he had been kicked off the bed.
Who was so f * cking daring?
Who dared to kick a divine doctor?
He turned his head and saw Tang Si sitting on the bed. Her eyes were red, and she was holding the bedding tightly to cover her body.
