Chapter 90 The puppy waiting for his master to come back
Hearing her say this, Lu Wanning breathed a sigh of relief.
But he was also a little worried about Qi Muchao's situation. He sighed and thought to himself that he didn't know how Qi Muchao was doing.
But she knew that Song Yu was not having an easy time either. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had not been found yet, and the burden on her shoulders was not light at all. Knowing that it was useless to ask, she endured it and did not say anything, but only worried silently in her heart.
In the middle of the night, the people in the house woke up.
Changqing was guarding outside and went in immediately when he heard the noise.
Seeing the man's alert eyes staring straight at him, he immediately bowed and said, "Today, we happened to see you being seriously injured by the governor's men, so we took action to bring you back. We, like you, are all enemies of the governor and wish to eat his flesh and blood."
Chang Qing looked at the man's expression and continued, "As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Removing the governor is no easy task. Are you willing to join forces with us?"
They said they were joining forces, but in fact Changqing just wanted to get some information from this person.
Changqing also wanted to know the reason why this man would assassinate the governor.
The man looked down at his wound that had been bandaged properly, and without hesitation for too long, he quickly bowed and thanked Changqing for saving his life.
Changqing went to call Song Yu over.
Song Yu came in and got straight to the point. "May I ask what the grudge is between you and Qi Guangsheng?"
"Just call me Liu Song." After some politeness, Liu Song's eyes were filled with resentment as he spoke, "My brother and I are originally from Yanzhou. After my parents passed away a few years ago, my brother took me to seek a living elsewhere. This year, I came back with the intention of sweeping their graves and visiting old friends, but I never expected that my brother would be captured the moment I got back."
"I luckily escaped a disaster, and after making inquiries, I learned that Yanzhou has now become the domain of Qi Guangsheng. Not only are the people living in dire straits, but even the former governor has been murdered by him!"
After listening to him, Song Yu shook his head and said, "But your method is too reckless. If it weren't for us today, we would have died on the spot."
"I know," Liu Song said in a deep voice, "Now that we've reached this point, I can't leave Yanzhou, and I can't help the people. So I thought if I could kill this bastard official, it would also alleviate the people's hatred. If I can't kill him, the worst that can happen is that I'll be arrested and forced to do hard labor. If I can see my brother, I can plan something with him."
At this point, he turned to Song Yu and asked, "What grudge do you have against Qi Guangsheng?"
Chang Qing reacted quickly and snorted, "I heard that Yanzhou has beautiful scenery. We originally came here with our young master to enjoy the scenery. We never expected that as soon as we arrived in Yanzhou, we were captured just like you and your brother. The young master was weak and couldn't escape, but we escaped and planned to rescue him in the long run."
The truth or falsehood was not so important to Liu Song at this time. These people saved him and they also had a grudge against Qi Guangsheng. Anyway, he had a dying life. If he could follow these people to rescue his brother, that would be the best. If not, he would have to kill a few people around the dog official to vent his anger.
There's no harm in that.
But thinking of what this person said about their young master being frail, Liu Song frowned. "I heard that those who were captured were taken to the iron mines to work. The food and accommodation were simple, but the daily work had to be done without any omissions. The bones of those who died from exhaustion were piled up like mountains. Can your young master hold on?"
Before Chang Qing could reply, he caught a glimpse of Lu Wanning standing at the door. He immediately thought to himself that something was wrong and raised his voice, "Our master is blessed with a long life, there will definitely be no problem."
Liu Song was startled by his suddenly raised voice. He followed his gaze and asked with some confusion, "What is this?"
Chang Qing: "This is our young lady."
From Lu Wanning's unhappy expression, Liu Song knew he had spoken out of turn and quickly tried to make amends, "I was just kidding. After all, in this weather, if all those bones were piled together, they would definitely stink."
“…”
Song Yu and Chang Qing looked at him speechlessly, causing him to shut up silently.
Lu Wanning was helpless, but she was not worried to this extent. The incident in Yanzhou must have happened in the previous life. Since Qi Muchao was fine in the previous life, he would definitely be able to survive this disaster.
And there is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He was fine in his previous life, so he must still be alive now, just waiting for them to find him somewhere.
So when Song Yu looked at her with concern again, Lu Wanning took advantage of the situation and quietly twisted Song Yu's waist while no one else was paying attention, "You look at me like I'm a puppy waiting for its owner to come back."
Song Yu was amused by her, and while covering his waist that she had twisted, he said, "I didn't say that."
The two came out of the room, and Song Yu looked at her, "But you're really not worried?"
"Why should I worry about this? I'm also worried about Changkong who was with him. If you switched places with him and were caught, I'd be worried too."
Since she couldn't sleep anyway, Lu Wanning shrugged and pointed towards the roof. "Can you carry me up there to see the stars?"
The night view today is really nice. Yanzhou is a place famous for its picturesque scenery. Once the night falls, the stars are embedded in the sky like the Milky Way.
Song Yu was a straightforward person. He carried the wine up to her and told her to wait there. After a while, she ran downstairs and brought up two more jars of wine.
"It would be a shame not to have some wine in this atmosphere."
The truth is, she had indeed stopped drinking for some time.
When I was in the military camp, I would often get drunk on the hillside with my brothers, eating roasted lamb legs and drinking cheap but strong liquor.
When Lu Wanning mentioned going to the roof today, it immediately reminded her of the time when she was on the hillside enjoying the breeze and the scenery, and her urge to drink naturally came up.
Song Yu could drink quite well. He took one jar for himself and stuffed the other into Lu Wanning's arms. He said generously, "Drink."
Lu Wanning held the wine jar in silence for a moment, then whispered, "My alcohol tolerance is average."
Song Yu glanced at the wine jar that was even bigger than Lu Wanning's head and nodded. "It's okay. Drink as much as you can. Give me the rest."
After saying that, she tilted her head back and took a big gulp.
Lu Wanning's eyes sparkled, and seeing her like this, she felt a little itchy, so she immediately tilted her head back and took a sip herself.
The wine was really strong. She choked and coughed several times after taking a sip.
Song Yu laughed at what he saw. He looked up at the moon and sighed softly, "I really want to go back to the barracks."
She felt that by being with Prince Qi, she didn't have to think about too many things, and the time she spent competing with her brothers on the training ground every day was worth remembering.
At least, it is more refreshing than living in fear every day in the capital, watching these hypocritical so-called gentlemen scheming against each other.
