Chapter 1907 Leaving the City
The people took the initiative to make way for them, and the two returned to Lingyin's yard and began to discuss countermeasures to rescue Amir and Yang Afu.
After a long time, after the matter at the Meridian Gate was over, Wan Cong and Lingyin came back, and Chen Changli and Wan Shufang had almost finished their discussion.
They were just about to go find Lingyin to say goodbye, but Lingyin came to them first. She had an exquisite hairpin in her hand. She pulled Wan Shufang over and put it in her hand.
"This is the most valuable pearl hairpin that the governor gave me when I was his concubine. But I think it is too bright and not suitable for me. It is more suitable for you."
"Lingyin, this won't work..."
Lingyin didn't let Wan Shufang refuse and knelt down softly.
"Sir, Madam, this time, thanks to you, I was able to see my enemy being punished. I should thank you." She looked sincere and kowtowed solemnly to the two of them.
Wan Shufang's eyes were moist. After spending so much time together, she knew that Lingyin was a good woman.
If she had not been forced by the prefect, she could have lived a happy life. Wan Shufang reached out, helped her up, and tidied up her hair.
"Lingyin, no matter who it is, we will help them if they encounter such a thing. I'll give you the hairpin. You can pawn it for money. Let the past be the past. You should live a good life in the future."
Seeing that Lingyin still wanted to give her the hairpin, she pretended to be angry and said, "I don't want something from a bad person. After we change the money, we can go to the street and buy a pair of pearl hairpins for sisters to wear."
Hearing this, Lingyin couldn't help but laugh, but ultimately gave up trying to persuade him.
Wan Shufang also kept her promise and went with her to pawn all the things given by the prefect, exchanged them for silver, and bought a pair of hairpins.
After the matter came to an end, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang said goodbye to Lingyin and prepared to set off to find the whereabouts of the real murderer.
Seeing the three people reluctant to leave, Wan Conghe touched his head and felt that he had forgotten something important.
"What is it?"
As he was murmuring, he heard Wan Shufang say, "If everything goes well on our trip, we'll come back to see you once we find the person."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wan Conghe suddenly clapped his hands. When he heard Wan Shufang say that she was going to look for someone, he finally remembered what he had forgotten and hurried forward.
"My Lord, Madam, I remembered something very important. The reason why His Majesty knew you were in danger was because the King of Xirong sent troops to Dayong!"
As soon as these words came out, Chen Changli's face changed drastically and he glared at him fiercely: "What's going on?"
"It was Amir. Amir's fingers were cut off and sent to the King of Xirong in your name. The King of Xirong was angry and humiliated, so he sent troops to Dayong."
Hearing this, Chen Changli looked worried, and in an instant he understood why the other party arrested Amir. It was true that they wanted to frame him, and it was also true that they wanted to sow discord between the two countries.
He glared at Wan Conghe angrily and blurted out the accusatory words: "Such an important matter, why did you say it now!"
Wan Conghe lowered his head and accepted the scolding, his lips trembling and silently complaining in his heart.
"I...I was just too worried about you, sir. I got so anxious and angry that I forgot about it when I rushed over."
But he knew that Chen Changli was angry and did not dare to explain.
After this incident, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang dared not waste time and immediately prepared to leave the city. Wan Conghe wanted to follow to protect them, but was stopped by Chen Changli.
"Why are you stopping me, sir? Those people's origins are unknown, and I don't know how many there are. If I follow them, I can at least protect you." Wan Conghe was puzzled, but Chen Changli moved closer to him, lowered his voice, and whispered a few words in his ear.
Then, Wan Conghe showed an expression of sudden enlightenment and bowed to Chen Changli: "Yes, sir, I understand."
After arranging everything, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang took their bags and left the city, while Wan Conghe stayed in the city, still living with Lingyin.
outside the city.
Chen Changli and Wan Shufang chatted along the way and unknowingly came to a dilapidated temple. They looked at each other and walked straight in without stopping.
In the dilapidated temple, several people were sitting together, obviously waiting for Chen Changli and Wan Shufang. When they saw the two people come in, they stood up.
Those people were wrapped tightly, with no skin exposed except for their eyes, making it impossible to tell who they were. Seeing this, Wan Shufang chuckled.
"Since you are waiting here, why do you have to dress like this?" She said in a calm tone. While speaking, she kept looking at the other person silently, trying to find anything unusual.
But no matter how they dressed or felt, Wan Shufang felt very unfamiliar with them and couldn't guess who they were.
Seeing Wan Shufang's inquiry, the leader let out a strange laugh. He stretched out his finger and pointed at Wan Shufang, exuding a dangerous aura from his whole body.
"Madam, since we are in this state, we certainly don't want to reveal our true faces." The leader spoke bluntly and took a step closer.
Chen Changli subconsciously stood in front of Wan Shufang and asked in a cold voice: "Where are Amir and Yang Afu?"
Seeing Chen Changli's serious and alert look as if he was facing a great enemy, the leader burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, don't be impatient, Lord Duke. Our game has just begun. It's too early for you to talk about bargaining chips now."
He no longer moved forward, but stood still, his eyes moving back and forth between Chen Changli and Wan Shufang, gradually revealing a hint of admiration.
"I have to admit that you two are really smart. I carefully planned such a big game, but you didn't get hurt at all."
The man shook his head and sighed, "You are much better than those losers, Lord Duke, why don't we make a deal? Join us and work for us. I promise that you will enjoy endless wealth and glory."
Upon hearing this, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang remained silent and did not speak.
A gust of wind blew by, lifting the man's robe. He clapped his hands and said, "My Lord, you should know our capabilities after this fight. Be sensible and avoid suffering again."
"Dream on." Chen Changli and Wan Shufang said in unison, looking at the group of people with cold eyes.
"Is this your way of winning over people? In my opinion, it's nothing special. No wonder you failed. With your limited skills, no matter how many people you win over, your evil plan will not succeed."
Wan Shufang was blunt and hit the sore spots of these people with just one sentence. The man immediately became furious and clenched his fists.
"It seems that you don't know what's good for you." The leader snorted coldly and raised his hand. The people around him immediately rushed out and surrounded Chen Changli and Wan Shufang.
Seeing the sudden change, Chen Changli drew out his sword, his eyes sharp, ready to respond at any time, while Wan Shufang also secretly held the sleeping pill in her hand.
The purpose of today's trip is to provoke the other party and win at risk!
"I value talent, so I'll give you one more chance. If you join us, you will be treated ten thousand times better than in Dayong."
