“Ah, you crazy woman, why did you hit me again?” Qian Youde’s fat body jumped up from the ground. He covered his numb hand and glared at Mo Yuan.
Mo Yuan said expressionlessly, “Young Madam said that you’re not allowed to get within three steps of her.”
Qian Youde was speechless. Just because of Shen Yijia’s words, he had been beaten up by this crazy woman countless times in the past few days.
Sometimes, even when he saw that she was not around, she would jump out just as he approached her to say a few words to Shen Yijia.
But this time was different.!!
“I clearly didn’t get close to her at all.” Qian Youde was so angry that his face turned red. He walked back to where he was standing so that she could see him clearly.
Mo Yuan glanced at it. “Your hand was too close.”
Qian Youde was speechless.
He rolled up his sleeves, fists clenched.
Everyone thought that he was finally going to fight Mo Yuan to the death.
He simply spun around on the spot twice. He wanted to get close to Shen Yijia, but he didn’t dare to. He stopped and sat on the ground, crying, “Little lady, look at this crazy woman. She’s bullying me.”
“I just wanted to bring you something to eat, but she wouldn’t let me. Take back what you said.”
“Haha!” Shen Yijia laughed so hard she rolled on the floor. After laughing enough, she looked at Mo Yuan and said, “I think Mo Yuan did quite well. All the best, continue to maintain it. I think highly of you.”
Initially, she was unwilling to let the two of them follow her, but she couldn’t shake them off, nor could she kill them.
She did not expect that her journey would bring about so many interesting things.
In the past, she had to fight on her own. Now, someone helped her fight without her saying a word.
Qian Youde was stunned. He widened his eyes and fell back to the ground. “Ah, I don’t want to live anymore. You’re bullying me.”
Zhu Zi covered his face. It was fine if their young master was like this at home, but why was it the same outside? He was already an adult, yet his behavior was still so embarrassing. Zhu Zi couldn’t bear to watch.
A crack appeared on Mo Yuan’s usually expressionless face, but it was not obvious.
At this moment, Rooster, who had been sent to investigate, returned.
Shen Yijia stopped smiling and looked at him with a burning gaze. She was getting closer and closer to her beautiful husband. She might be able to hear some news.
Rooster felt his scalp tingle from her gaze. It was rare for Shen Yijia to be serious. “Master, Liang County is not letting us pass. We might have to take a detour to Xunyang.”
Seeing him like this, Shen Yijia’s heart tightened. “Is Xunyang in a bad condition right now?”
Over the past few days, they had heard some things about Xunyang, but they were all rumors. Shen Yijia’s ears went numb.
“I only know that they had been surrounded for more than half a month. I can’t find out anything else.”
It was precisely because he could not find out that he was worried.
“More than half a month…” Shen Yijia muttered. She had been traveling for more than half a month. She looked up at Rooster hopefully. “Maybe your master hasn’t arrived yet, either.”
As long as her husband hadn’t arrived yet, there shouldn’t be any danger. If she was faster, would she be able to catch up?
She believed that Song Jingchen would do his best to save the former crown prince even if Xunyang was surrounded by enemy troops. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have rushed over as soon as he received the news.
If he wanted to save Shangguan Han, wouldn’t he have to find a way to enter the city?
Putting aside how he was going to sneak in under the noses of the army, even if he did, how was he going to save Shangguan Han?
No matter which version of the story they heard along the way, one thing remained constant. Xunyang was a dead place now.
Xunyang did not have enough troops to begin with. Furthermore, it was a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. The 200,000 soldiers could take turns to form a human wall.
Even if the Hun army did not attack in order to reduce their losses, the people inside could not come out.
Without food and supplies, the people in the city could only rely on their original food supplies to survive.
Sooner or later, they would starve to death inside.
It was a dead end.
Rooster’s eyes flashed and he fell silent.
“Tell me quickly,” Shen Yijia shouted.
Rooster lowered his head and smiled bitterly. “If there weren’t any accidents, Master should have arrived three days ago at the latest.”
Shen Yijia blinked. What did he mean by that? Was it the kind of accident where one was seriously injured or died halfway?
Either way, it wasn’t a good thing.
Shen Yijia patted Furball’s head and stood up. “Furball, let’s go.”
As she spoke, she took a few steps over and untied the horse’s reins from the tree.
A hand suddenly stopped her.
Shen Yijia glanced at Mo Yuan. “What are you doing?”
Mo Yuan looked up into Shen Yijia’s eyes. There was no hint of turmoil in her black eyes. She said calmly, “Xunyang is dangerous. Little Miss can’t go.”
“Get lost, or I’ll kill you.” Shen Yijia gritted her teeth.
Mo Yuan paused for a moment and took a few steps back before Shen Yijia could attack.
She could die, but she would only die to protect Little Miss.
Shen Yijia heaved a sigh of relief when Mo Yuan did not insist on stopping her. After spending more than ten days together, she could tell that Mo Yuan was protective of her.
Although Mo Yuan might have recognized the wrong person, she was indeed the one being protected. Unless necessary, she didn’t want to attack her.
“Then I…” Qian Youde wanted to lean over, but he stopped three steps away.
The group did not hide the fact that Shen Yijia had gone to Xunyang to look for her husband, so he knew a little about it. However, he did not know who Shen Yijia’s husband was.
Shen Yijia glanced at him. “Aren’t you going to Liang County? Then let’s part ways here.”
Qian Youde almost blurted out that he was going too. Zhu Zi quickly covered his mouth and smiled at Shen Yijia. “Yes, let’s part ways here.”
This person never thought twice about his young master. His young master also knew that she had a husband. Why did he like to get close to others so much? He didn’t learn his lesson even after being beaten up.
If not for the fact that his young master did not seem to be interested in the young lady these few days, he would have thought of a way to take him away.
Otherwise, if the old madam found out that the young master had taken a fancy to a married woman, she would skin him alive.
Shen Yijia was worried about Song Jingchen. She was afraid that if she was late, Song Jingchen would be crushed into meat paste by the army. She wouldn’t be able to heal him even if she wanted to. Who would she rely on then?
The few of them did not stop unless it was necessary.
In a certain mansion in the capital.
A man in black stood behind his master.
“Master!”
“What did they say?”
“Mungido said the situation was beginning to settle down. He didn’t want unnecessary casualties. He also said…”
“What else is there to say?”
The man in black lowered his voice. “He said not to treat everyone as fools.”
This meant that Mungido had seen through his plan to get someone else to do his dirty work.
The teacup in the man’s hand shattered.
“Heh, unnecessary casualties?” The man sneered. “I’m afraid he’ll end up with nothing.”
He had never expected that the most crucial move would be disrupted by Emperor Chong’an’s ridiculous decision.
The imperial court did not send troops. Xunyang was like a bird in a cage to the Huns. They were not in a hurry to start a war, so they gave Song Jingchen enough time.
“Master, what do we do now?”
The man closed his eyes. “Let’s wait a little longer. If necessary, let that person take action.”
If he couldn’t get his hands on something, he would simply destroy it.
