Chapter 241 Be Careful of Yuan Gu
Everyone from Dongji returned to the inn safely.
Deng Youning sent someone to find a doctor to treat the wounds of the injured disciples of Wanshe Valley.
The Dongji guards and minor officials in the delegation were also frightened by today's scene.
By the way, Deng Youning also asked the doctor to prepare some calming soup for them.
Deng Yan'an and Han Xian were seriously injured.
Li Tianzhuo and Xiu Ming, the master and servant, passed on some internal energy to them to help them adjust the qi and blood in their meridians.
The two of them needed more rest, especially Han Xian who was the most seriously injured.
Seeing the resentment towards Emperor Nan Xin on everyone's faces, Li Tianzhuo bowed to them and waited for his father to apologize:
"I'm sorry. All the injuries you have suffered were caused by my father. I am sorry to you all."
Deng Yan'an has a clear distinction between love and hate, so naturally he would not blame Li Tianzhuo.
He is also a victim.
"Tian Zhuo, we have planned to return home tomorrow."
"Cousin Han's injury cannot be delayed. He must return to the General's Mansion in Liangcheng to rest."
"I will stay alone and accompany you to find a doctor."
He was still thinking about Deng Youning's medical treatment.
Although the injuries he suffered when King Yi and his men besieged him seem to be no longer serious, if they are not completely healed, something bad will happen sooner or later.
"Cousin, you are seriously injured. Let's go back and recover together."
Deng Youning gave some advice. She knew Deng Yan'an was worried about her, and she was also worried about her brother!
"Yes, cousin, you can go back together. I promise to take good care of Ningning. Once her injury is healed, we will go back too." Li Tianzhuo took the initiative to promise.
Deng Yan'an still did not agree. They said good things, but no one knew what would happen then.
What's more, Deng Youning didn't know anyone in Nanyinyun City except Li Tianzhuo, so he couldn't leave his sister alone here.
"Okay, no need to say more. Whenever you decide to leave, I will leave with you."
Deng Yan'an made the final decision.
Han Xian on the side also said: "If that's the case, then I can't just leave you all here and go back first."
He sighed and looked at the other members of the delegation and the disciples of the Ten Thousand Snake Valley.
"The other members of the delegation are ordinary minor officials. There is no need for the disciples of the Ten Thousand Snake Valley to follow us and take risks here. Let's set off tomorrow and let them return first. I will write a letter to my second uncle and grandfather and ask them to send an army to guard the mountains outside the Ten Thousand Snake Valley."
"In this case, my cousin can rest assured that no one will target them again in the future."
Deng Youning was not very satisfied with Han Xian's meticulous arrangements.
"You mean, you're not leaving either?"
"No! Absolutely not!"
Deng Youning frowned slightly, looking worried.
These two brothers stayed here just to keep an eye on me, right?
"Yuncheng is too dangerous. Our every step is under the control of Emperor Nanxin."
"If you stay, if something happens, the consequences will be disastrous, and we won't be able to explain to my great uncle."
"Cousin Han, you are the only male in the Han family! You must not stay and take risks with us."
Deng Youning's voice became more and more urgent.
"Yes, cousin Han, you should go back with the delegation. I will stay with Ningning and the others."
Deng Yan'an also gave some advice.
Han Xian is different from them. He is used to wandering around.
He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to handle staying in Yuncheng and having to live on the edge of a knife at any time.
"Cousin Han, you can rest assured. Even if I, Li Tianzhuo, risk my life, I will definitely keep Ningning safe and sound."
Li Tianzhuo made a swearing gesture and assured him.
"this……"
Han Xian finally hesitated.
He had seen with his own eyes how Li Tianzhuo would do anything for Ningning.
His love for Ningning is as deep as the ocean. Even if he stays with Ningning, he cannot interfere with their relationship. Staying will only make himself more miserable.
Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of Yuan Gu.
"By the way, you have to be careful of Yuan Gu."
"I overheard by chance that he seemed to be disloyal to Emperor Nan Xin. I wonder who he works for. Maybe there is some more terrifying force behind him."
When Li Tianzhuo heard this, a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes.
The struggle for imperial power in Nanxin was simple, with only two people involved: King Yi and King Si.
But Yuan Gu was not a subordinate of either of these two men.
Now Han Xian said that he was not absolutely loyal to his father. Could it be that they wanted to assist other princes to seize the throne?
Thinking of this, Li Tianzhuo felt a chill down his spine.
The waters surrounding the Nanxin imperial power are probably even muddier than they imagined.
He looked at Deng Youning with some embarrassment.
I wanted to let her leave after her foot injury healed, but this time, I was afraid I couldn't go back with her...
"Ningning, cousin, the Gongyang family's ancestral home is in Yuncheng. Tomorrow, after we send off the envoys, we will go to visit them."
When he first arrived in Yuncheng, Li Tianzhuo had already been secretly looking for the Gongyang family. Now everything has been prepared and he can visit them at any time.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Deng Youning's absolute trust in him made her dare to entrust everything to him.
Li Tianzhuo nodded at her. Being able to protect her and accompany her for such a long journey in this life was his dream come true.
The reason why Yuncheng is called Yuncheng is because this city is closest to the clouds.
Not long after dinner, the sky gradually darkened.
"Is it dark so early here?"
Walking in the courtyard, Deng Youning asked curiously.
"Yes, but this does not affect the colorful nightlife of the people of Yuncheng at all."
"It's because it gets dark early, so the lights here are the most beautiful and more diverse than those in Changnan Town."
"There are also many things for lighting, the most complete in the world."
Li Tianzhuo introduced it proudly, and took out a small glowing stone.
The stone is not big, but the green light is very bright, instantly making the surrounding scenery clear.
When Deng Youning was curious, he took out a thin rope and tied it to the stone, making it into a pendant.
Then, it was hung around Deng Youning's neck.
"This way, I will be able to find you in the darkest night ever."
He lowered his head and tidied the hair on the back of Deng Youning's neck.
The meticulously crafted look, as if it was a piece of jade, made Xiu Ming and Ying Shi standing by feel jealous.
"Ningning, I want to take you somewhere to meet an old friend."
Deng Youning was a little skeptical, "Now?"
Li Tianzhuo nodded affirmatively.
Right now, let’s go.
When getting on the carriage, Deng Youning still had some doubts.
Wouldn't it disturb my friends if I visited them so late?
Li Tianzhuo did not tell her clearly where to go. The carriage just drove all the way to the suburbs and stopped at the foot of a hill.
There is a dense and deep jungle on the mountain.
It seemed as if it had just rained here. The air was still filled with the fragrance of soil, and the surroundings were quiet and mysterious.
"This place is called the Forest of Fantasy Joy in the ancient Nanjin language. Carriages cannot enter it, so Your Highness will have to walk a distance."
Li Tianzhuo jumped off the carriage and looked at the place he had not been to for a long time, missing it very much.
He helped Deng Youning down and introduced her to her.
