Chapter 112 Returning to Xuanzhou
A place of right and wrong, not suitable to stay for a long time
After everyone briefly cleaned the battlefield, they left the valley with their injured brothers and hurriedly walked dozens of miles out of Liyang. After dark, they entered Xintang and spent the night in an inn next to the official road.
Only then did Mr. Dongzhu have the opportunity to have a few words with Shen Ge. Hearing that Shen Ge had traveled to several cities in search of himself in the past three months, Mr. Dongzhu felt heartbroken and moved. When he left, he said that he would not let his family and friends Shen Ge came to him because he was afraid that they would be implicated. Unexpectedly, it was Shen Ge who led someone to rescue him at the critical moment.
Although Shen Ge said the three-month experience was easy, Mr. Dongzhu, who had grown up with him, knew that he had a tendency to report good news but not bad news. He didn't talk about other things. He just looked at his tired face and bloodshot eyes. I know how he rushed by saying "Come here from Xiacai" in an understatement.
After the two of them had dinner together, Mr. Dongzhu urged him to take a rest, "You should have a good sleep first. If anything happens, we can talk about it tomorrow."
Shen Ge said, "Sir, I have to rush back to Xuanzhou as soon as possible. I won't rest tonight. Luo Xian will take fifteen brothers to escort you back to Tong'an County to reunite with your family."
Mr. Dongzhu did not expect that he would have to travel all night, "But is there something urgent in Xuanzhou?"
Shen Ge explained, "We rescued you, killed An Linchun and burned down the valley. Assuming An Ziyuan will get the news soon, I'm afraid he will anger Miss Lin and be detrimental to the Lin family. The forty masters left behind by my great-uncle , now there is only one person staying in the Lin Mansion to take care of Mrs. Lin, so we have to rush back as soon as possible."
After Lin Ruyu discovered that Fake An Ziyuan was hiding next to Zheng Changming, she immediately sent Luo Er to Xiacai to deliver a message to Shen Ge, asking him to immediately take people to Liyang to find the whereabouts of Mr. Dongzhu. Three days later, Fake An Ziyuan sent An Lin Chun and Lin Ruyu asked those who stayed in Xuanzhou City to come out and follow An Linchun.
Without the joint efforts of the two groups, it would have been impossible to break through the heavily defended valley with more than 80 people, kill 37 people including An Linchun, and successfully rescue Mr. Dongzhu.
Lin Ruyu predicted that Fake An Ziyuan wanted to kill Mr. Dongzhu, and caused him to lose his wife and soldiers. Fake An Ziyuan would be furious.
Thinking of Lin Ruyu facing the devil who killed her in her dream alone, Shen Ge became so anxious that he wished he could grow wings on his back and fly back to Xuanzhou immediately.
Although Shen Ge didn't say much about the Lin family, he mentioned Lin Ruyu several times just now. Mr. Dongzhu also knew that he had been rescued this time. Lin Ruyu had contributed a lot to his suggestions. The Lin family was in danger because of this incident. Mr. Dongzhu stood up and said, "I will not go back to Tong'an, but will rush to Xuanzhou with you."
Before Shen Ge could dissuade him, Mr. Dongzhu continued, "I won't be able to live in peace when I return to Tongan until my captor is eliminated. Why don't we work with you to eliminate this person to avoid future troubles. Shall we set off now?"
What the gentleman said makes sense. Shen Ge no longer persuades him to return to Tong'an, but he doesn't intend to let him follow him around day and night. "It doesn't matter if you go to Xuanzhou, sir. You can enter Xuanzhou City in an open and honest manner. You won't dare to act rashly if you pretend to be far away." .We have five brothers who are injured and cannot leave in a hurry. I will leave ten more brothers, and my husband will rush back to Xuanzhou with them. I will take the rest of the people to go ahead. If we arrive in Xuanzhou City one day early, the Lin family will have one less. Danger."
Mr. Dongzhu promised, lowering his voice and saying briefly, "The person who forced me to leave Wusha Town in the middle of the night was Prince An's second son He Jiongzhao. The fake An Ziyuan should be related to Prince An's palace. Ge'er must be extremely careful in his actions, otherwise if he is If someone catches a little mistake, He Jiongzhao or pretends to be safe, he can make a fuss out of a molehill and put you in danger.”….
Prince An’s Mansion?!
Shen Ge's eyelashes as black as crow feathers trembled slightly, "Chen Jingcheng said that the fake An Ziyuan is somewhat similar to Prince An's prince He Jiongming! Sir..."
"Don't panic, don't be afraid." Mr. Dongzhu's warm hand fell on Shen Ge's head, and he said gently and comfortingly, "A gentleman's words must be believed and verified. If you have doubts, you must carefully verify them. If there is no proof, Before you have a certificate, you should not make rash decisions, let alone mess up your position."
"Yes." Shen Ge accepted the instruction.
Mr. Dongzhu continued, "This person must be related to Prince An's Palace. It doesn't matter if he is Prince An's Crown Prince. If he doesn't reveal his identity, we will just pretend we don't know. If he reveals his identity, we must take into account the reputation of Prince An's Palace. As long as we stand firm, even if he is the heir apparent of Prince An, what can he do to me? If he dares to act arbitrarily, I can draft a list of the crimes committed by Prince An and his son, and declare them to the six states."
The better the reputation, the more afraid of this. Shen Ge's eyes lit up, "I understand!"
Mr. Dongzhu rubbed Shen Ge's head and said distressedly, "Even if you are in a hurry to save people, you must also allow time to rest on the way, otherwise you will be exhausted and rush over and you won't be able to help."
"Don't worry, sir, we ride horses during the day, change carriages at night, and take turns sleeping." Shen Ge and Zhuang Ming have been resting like this since they left Xuanzhou.
Once you get used to it, you don't feel tired at all.
Liu Luo and other ten people took care of Mr. Dongzhu and the injured brothers, and slowly rushed back to Xuanzhou. Shen Ge led 24 people to transfer to a carriage and drove all night.
After getting on the carriage, Zou Shun asked Shen Ge, "Master, how come the bamboo house in the valley collapsed when An Linchun entered it?"
Shen Ge and Yourong said, "Sir is not only well-read and knowledgeable about the past and present, but also likes carpentry. The Dongzhu Yashe in Wusha Town was built by him with us. He can build bamboo houses, and of course he can also destroy them." !」
Zou Shun understood, "So Mr. Dongzhu destroyed the bamboo house a long time ago?"
Shen Ge nodded vigorously, "Yes! That's how good you are, sir!"
Seeing that Shen Ge's admiration for Mr. Dongzhu was beyond words, Zhuang Ming was also happy for him, "Master, I'm tired. Go to sleep. Wake up and go on your journey tomorrow."
"Brother Ming, Brother Shun, let's sleep together." Shen Ge was indeed extremely tired and fell asleep while lying on the carriage covered with thick straw.
Zou Shun gently covered him with a quilt and whispered worriedly, "Brother Ming, will something happen to Miss Lin?"
Zhuang Ming also lowered his voice, "Although Miss Lin is smart and resourceful, she must be on guard. Go to sleep, we must rush back to Xuanzhou before the Double Ninth Festival."
Zou Shun whispered, "You mean that dummy will be detrimental to Miss Lin on the Double Ninth Festival?"
"Never mind you." Zhuang Ming yawned, "It's too much to think about, so go to sleep and have enough energy before you can go on the road."
Heyi lay beside Shen Ge, and Zou Shun counted on his fingers. It took Luo San and the others five days, day and night, to rush over from Xuanzhou City. Now it would take them five days to rush back at the earliest.
In other words, no matter how hard they rush, they can only reach Xuanzhou on the Double Ninth Festival at the earliest.
I just hope that nothing will happen to Miss Lin before they go back. Otherwise, Shen Ge, who just found Mr. Dongzhu, will no longer be able to find his sweetheart in the blink of an eye. How can he bear such hardship at such a young age?
