Chapter 228: First Encounter at the Worst Time of Life
Fortunately, they were cautious and successfully avoided Emperor Nan Xin's conspiracy.
Before leaving the inn, they did not forget to help the assassins sent by Emperor Nan Xin. They set fire to the inn and let them burn to ashes along with the entire inn.
After leaving the inn, several people went to the general's mansion overnight.
When the Han family learned the whole story, they could only sigh that Emperor Nan Xin was thinking of a good move.
"As long as we can wait for Nan Xin's welcoming envoy to come and pick us up, we won't have to worry every day."
"Just stay here for the next few days. I will send the Han army to guard the King Si so that not even a fly can get in."
General Han patted his chest and assured.
Everyone naturally believes what he says.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, uncle."
Deng Yan'an bowed in thanks.
"I just wonder when the welcoming envoy from Nan Xin will arrive?"
"As long as he doesn't come, it will be like a long night with many troubles for the king here."
Deng Youning also sighed.
She's probably having a hard time feeling at peace these days.
"Uncle, this is a letter from my aunt and cousin that I asked to bring to you."
After talking about official business, Deng Yan'an felt that it was time to catch up with the Han family.
General Han brought his second son and eldest grandson to conquer the three cities of Nanxin, while Shi Shi continued to do her own business in the capital with Han Xinxin.
Han Laoer took the letter excitedly.
For so many years, the Han family army was stationed in Qingzhou, and he had been separated from the Shi family for several years. He finally returned to the capital, but before he had stayed in Beijing for a few days, he had to come to the remote area of Nanqin to help Jun Chenyi conquer this place.
He also looked forward to being reunited with his wife and daughter one day.
"Xiao An, how is your father these days?"
General Han also asked Deng Ren a question.
Before his sister died, she entrusted her descendants to him, and he also cared a lot about the Deng family.
"Thank you for your concern, my father is doing well."
"As for you, you must take care of yourself. We have brought you some supplements from the capital."
Deng Yan'an has a very high emotional intelligence and he made General Han very happy with just a few words.
"Cousin Ningning, I heard that you were seriously injured by King Yi's men when you were in the capital..."
Han Xian suddenly brought up this matter.
General Han, who was originally smiling, suddenly changed his expression. Even Han Lao Er, who was missing his wife and daughter, wiped away his tears and looked angry.
"I get angry when I mention this!"
"Li Tianzhuo, oh no, Nanxin Changle King, you'd better promise us that if your Nanxin people touch Ningning again, don't blame me for breaking up the couple."
General Han always thought that Deng Youning would suffer if she was with Li Tianzhuo.
After all, the two Southeast countries have always been at odds.
Li Tianzhuo took two steps back, knelt down in front of General Han, and admitted his mistake: "I can't give Ningning any sincerity now, but I will do my best to protect her and prevent her from getting hurt again."
In fact, he was not sure about it, as he was about to go to Yuncheng, and it would be almost impossible to remain uninjured in the bloody situation there.
Whether it is to redress the grievances of Li Qinghuan's family or to seize the throne of Nanxin, it is a dangerous matter.
Seeing Li Tianzhuo's embarrassment, Deng Youning stepped forward, stood in front of him, and joked to the Han family:
"Uncle, second cousin, don't worry. With Ah Zhuo here, perhaps Nanxin will be able to establish friendly diplomatic relations with Dongji in the future."
While coaxing General Han and Han Lao Er, she hooked her hand at Li Tianzhuo, asking him to get up quickly and step aside.
General Han shook his head helplessly. "It's true that when a girl grows up, she can't be kept. She hasn't even gotten married yet, but she's already started protecting him!"
Han Lao Er also thought of his daughter, "I wonder if Xinxin has a lover? That child always puts her own affairs last."
Speaking of her cousin Han Xinxin, Deng Youning seemed to have suddenly found a topic.
Ever since the Mu family and the Han family started doing good business together, Mu Hao always pesters Han Xinxin. Deng Youning feels that there is something going on between these two!
"Haha, the Qingzhou Mu family is indeed good."
"Ningning, I hope your news is true. Don't let us be happy for nothing!"
Han Laoer smiled and stroked his short beard.
I wish I could call out all the memories about Mu Hao in my mind.
But in fact, they had only met once.
After all, Han Lao Er basically doesn't stay in Beijing for long.
I really hope that after all these chores are dealt with, I can return to the capital and enjoy a few years of family happiness.

The envoys escorting King Si back to his country stayed at General Han's Mansion.
During the day, Deng Youning and Li Tianzhuo would stroll around the city and ask the people of Nanxin about the news about the genius doctor Gong Yang's family.
Deng Yan'an would follow Han Xian on patrols, or visit areas of the city that were still under construction.
Now that they have arrived in Liangcheng, Deng Youning must go back to Wanshe Valley.
Li Tianzhuo, Xiu Ming and Ying Shi accompanied her.
The four of them walked in the forest outside the Ten Thousand Snake Valley, and Li Tianzhuo seemed to have returned to the time when they first met when they were young.
"I remember you took me to wash wild fruits under that waterfall."
Li Tianzhuo pointed to a small waterfall not far away and thought of it with nostalgia.
"Why didn't you tell me that when I first met you, you were being chased and killed in a very miserable state?"
Recalling their first encounter, Deng Youning smiled unkindly.
"You're still talking about me. Aren't you also being hunted by the people from the Ten Thousand Snake Valley?"
Li Tianzhuo counterattacked.
Neither of them was as good as the other, and when they first met, they were both in the worst time of their lives.
This was not the first time that Ying Shi came to the Ten Thousand Snake Valley. Last year, she also came with Old Madam Han to pick up Deng Youning.
She and Xiu Ming walked behind, and she pointed out the beautiful scenery outside the Ten Thousand Snake Valley to Xiu Ming along the way.
When they were almost at the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes, they met a fair-skinned young man on the way.
The man looked like he had been bitten by a snake. He lifted up his pants, exposed the wound, and sat on a big rock, grimacing in pain.
"You've been bitten by a poisonous snake. If you don't get treatment quickly, you won't be able to survive."
Deng Youning took a quick look and saw that the wound was purple and knew that the poison was quite serious.
She took out a pill that could cure all poisons and handed it to the boy.
When I saw his features clearly, I immediately felt that he looked very familiar.
The boy took the pill and was about to ask if he could eat it, but when he saw Deng Youning's face clearly, his pupils shrank in shock.
"Senior Sister Deng?!"
He was pleasantly surprised and astonished, and felt that his trip to the Ten Thousand Snake Valley was not in vain!
Deng Youning: …
She really doesn't remember this junior fellow apprentice.
When she was in the Ten Thousand Snake Valley, she was locked in the basement by the valley master.
"Senior sister, it's me, Yuan Gu."
"Last year you killed Master, took away the Valley Master's Order, cured us of the poison, and released all of us disciples who were kidnapped by the Valley Master from the Ten Thousand Snake Valley."
"I am one of the disciples who has received your kindness."
"If you hadn't saved me, I would never have been able to meet my biological parents in my life, and I wouldn't have achieved what I have today."
"You know what? I'm an official in Yuncheng. This time I was ordered to come to Liangcheng to do some work. I just came back to take a look."
