Chapter 581: The Identity is Not Simple
There was a carriage in the restaurant yard, and it was just right for Su Ruoyun to take the carriage there.
Xiao Lenghan was worried and thought about driving the carriage for Su Ruoyun.
But he also knew that Su Ruoyun's third uncle and aunt were not ordinary people and might discover his secret.
What if he is not allowed to stay here at that time?
Xiao Lenghan couldn't think of a solution for the time being.
But he was worried about Su Ruoyun.
So when Su Ruoyun was riding in a carriage to the prefectural government office, Xiao Lenghan was protecting her in secret.
But when he approached the prefect's residence, he felt the aura of a master.
Although the other party was hiding, Xiao Lenghan still felt it.
So Xiao Lenghan concealed his presence and did not get close. He just found a stone step at the entrance of the alley not far away and sat down.
…
Today, the prefect's residence is like an iron wall, with layers of secret guards protecting it. Without permission, no one can enter even with wings.
Su Ruoyun naturally didn't know that Xiao Lenghan had been protecting her and sending her to the mansion.
Su Ruoyun entered the mansion and went to look for her third uncle and aunt.
Su Xueyi and Shen Yueyao were looking at the map of Shabei Pass in the study at this time.
Although the two would not go if there was a war at the border, they also wanted to know more about the terrain of Shabei Pass.
Shen Yueyao said: "It is still unknown whether the Northern Rong will send troops to attack Shabei Pass, but it is right to make preparations early."
Su Xueyi said, "General Zheng is leading his troops to the border. Even if they move faster, it will still take at least a month to reach the border. And this is a forced march. Normally, it would take two months."
Su Xueyi said this with a serious expression, "If the Northern Rong attacked Shabei Pass within these two months, we would have to rely on the local soldiers defending the city."
Shen Yueyao said: "Shabei City can mobilize troops!"
Su Xueyi explained, "The guards at each border are responsible for their respective duties. If the troops in one city are mobilized elsewhere, the troops in this city will be insufficient. If a surprise attack force attacks this city, the people in this city will also be in danger."
"The Northern Rong have a peace agreement with our Great Yan Dynasty, so we in Great Yan haven't made too many preparations."
"Also, the emperor has only been on the throne for a few years. He has few people available, and power is not concentrated in his hands. It is not easy to mobilize some troops."
"Although you must obey orders when you see the military token, sometimes the military token will be hijacked by some people along the way."
"So if the emperor wants to mobilize troops, he will be very cautious and will not do so easily."
"What's more, there may be remnants of rebellion within our Great Yan Dynasty."
Shen Yueyao felt very complicated just by listening to this.
Su Xueyi looked at Shen Yueyao's solemn expression and said, "Don't worry, our generals in the Great Yan Dynasty are very capable, don't worry for now."
Shen Yueyao was worried about her parents who were still in the north.
She suddenly thought of something and asked, "How is the food at Shabei Pass?"
Su Xueyi also had some knowledge of that place. He said, "There are granaries in Shabei Pass. There is enough food."
"There are food reserves at the border, don't worry."
"This is also to prevent sieges and ensure there is enough food in the city during the defense."
In this way, Shen Yueyao felt much more relieved.
The two people discussed this matter.
Shen Yueyao didn't even bother to eat, let alone pick up Dabao and Erbao from school. She hurriedly wrote a letter.
She tied the letter to an eagle and asked the eagle to deliver it to Xinghua Village to let her parents know some news.
Just after sending the letter, Shen Yueyao heard a voice.
She said, "Ruoyun is back. It's better not to tell Ruoyun about this. Don't let her worry."
Su Xueyi nodded.
Shen Yueyao thought that Ruoyun had just opened the restaurant and was busy with the restaurant's affairs, and she seemed very happy to see her every day.
She didn't want Ruoyun to worry about these things.
And even if I worry, it won't help.
The two people quickly adjusted their mood.
After Su Ruoyun came in, she looked at Shen Yueyao and Su Xueyi and said happily, "Third uncle, third aunt!"
Shen Yueyao stood up and said with a smile: "You're back. You must be exhausted from working on the restaurant recently, right?"
Shen Yueyao gently touched Su Ruoyun's hair.
Ruoyun is lively and cheerful, like a happy fruit. Shen Yueyao couldn't help but smile when she saw her face.
Su Ruoyun shook her head and said, "No, I don't feel tired. I have my own career to pursue, and I feel quite fulfilled."
That's the truth.
In addition, Su Ruoyun was also very happy to have Xiao Lenghan accompany her during this period.
Shen Yueyao was relieved when she saw that her eyes and eyebrows were bright and she didn't look thin.
"If you need any help, just come back and tell us, okay?"
Su Ruoyun nodded obediently, "Yeah, I know."
"Is anyone causing trouble for the restaurant?"
Su Ruoyun shook her head and said, "No, everyone knows that Third Uncle manages Hezhou strictly. If there are any troublemakers, they will be arrested directly by the patrol officers in the north."
"I've heard many people say they used to be afraid of yamen runners, but now they feel safe when they see them because they know they're patrolling to protect everyone."
"There aren't even any thieves at the pier. There are a lot of people shopping. When I came out in the evening, I found that many people were gathering at the pier."
"Many people have spontaneously set up small stalls by the pier, and hung lanterns to make it brightly lit. Many people go there to shop."
Su Ruoyun really likes this lively atmosphere.
Shen Yueyao thought of the scene at the dock and smiled.
It seems that Hezhou Wharf is bustling with modern shopping malls and snack streets.
"The weather is a bit cold now, so everyone is willing to come out."
Su Ruoyun said: "For the people of Hezhou, this little bit of cold may not be a big deal. The coldness in Hezhou cannot be compared with that in the north."
It will snow in the north at this time.
Last winter, they stayed at home and slept on the warm kang, and were reluctant to go out.
However, although it is cold there, Su Ruoyun grew up in the north and has adapted to the environment there. It is especially interesting to warm herself by the fire in the house on snowy days.
She also likes to sleep on a heated kang in winter.
“Although it’s not frozen here in Hezhou, I feel it’s cold and damp.”
"So I put pepper and chili powder on the table. If you like, you can add it to your meal or soup. I found that many people like to add these things. They say that drinking soup with pepper will warm your whole body."
Pepper is not scarce in the south, so she bought a lot of pepper and ground it into powder for direct use.
Su Ruoyun chattered a lot to Shen Yueyao and Su Xueyi.
Shen Yueyao said: "It's getting late, I'll ask the kitchen to cook, and we'll eat together later."
Su Ruoyun quickly handed over the basket and said, "Aunt San, this is the sushi I made. It's meat floss sushi. I made a lot. You, Uncle San, and my brothers Dabao and Erbao can eat it together."
Shen Yueyao's eyes lit up when she heard it, "You made meat floss!"
Shen Yueyao likes to eat meat floss, but the people in the kitchen don’t know how to make it.
Shen Yueyao has been very busy recently and has not had time to do it herself.
"If your elder and second brothers knew about this, they would definitely be happy."
"They happened to have a day off today, and your uncle and I were busy for a while so we didn't go to pick them up."
Su Ruoyun said excitedly: "Then let's go pick up Dabao and Erbao!"
This place is very close to Wende Academy.
Just in time to pick them up.
Su Xueyi was not in a hurry. He looked at Su Ruoyun, patted his palms lightly with the folding fan in his hand, and said, "Ruoyun!"
Hearing her uncle calling her, Su Ruoyun was stunned for a moment and said, "Uncle, what's the matter?"
She felt that her uncle looked a little serious at this moment.
Su Xueyi actually considered it for a long time before she thought of asking Su Ruoyun.
"Ruoyun, there's someone in your restaurant whose identity should be extraordinary."
As soon as Su Ruoyun heard it, she knew who her uncle was talking about. Su Ruoyun said frankly, "Uncle, you're talking about Xiao Lenghan, right? He was injured and fell in the yard one day. I saved him, and after he recovered, he helped out in the restaurant. He's a good guy."
Shen Yueyao looked at Su Ruoyun's expression and knew that this girl had simply rescued and taken the person in.
"Ruoyun, why do you think he is good?"
Su Ruoyun thought about it carefully and said, "Aunt San, I can't explain it clearly. I can only say it's a feeling."
Shen Yueyao smiled and said, “Since that’s how you feel, it shouldn’t be wrong.”
Su Ruoyun seems simple, but in fact she is very wary of others. It can only be said that this person is quite special, and that Ruoyun can trust him so much.
"And he helped me a lot at the restaurant. He's very capable."
Su Xueyi said, "This person has high martial arts skills and a very restrained aura. He might be a secret guard or an assassin."
Su Ruoyun thought for a moment and said, "Third Uncle, he said he came from the underworld. I wonder if he is a killer?"
Seeing Su Ruoyun's calm reaction, Shen Yueyao said, "You're not afraid of him, but he's a killer?"
"I'm not afraid. He won't hurt me. And if he's a killer, he probably has his own reasons."
When Su Ruoyun thought of Xiao Lenghan working as a killer in the martial arts world, she realized that his life must be very hard.
No wonder everything I eat tastes delicious.
And still very thin.
If someone had told her that someone was a killer before she met Xiao Lenghan, she would definitely stay away from him. But after she met Xiao Lenghan, knew what kind of person he was, and found out that he was a killer, she no longer thought he was a scary person.
Anyway, he is Xiao Lenghan.
Shen Yueyao looked at Su Xueyi and said, "I don't think that person is a bad person."
"If Ruoyun trusts you, then don't worry about it."
Shen Yueyao also inexplicably trusted Su Xueyi at first.
Su Ruoyun looked at Su Xueyi seriously and said, "Third Uncle, can you please not do anything to him? He's a very good person."
She knew her third uncle's abilities and was afraid that he might do something.
Su Ruoyun's eyes were filled with pleading.
She didn't want Xiao Lenghan to get hurt.
Su Xueyi nodded and said, "Forget it, just keep it in mind."
"Thank you, Uncle San."
Su Ruoyun felt that she was still a little scared when her Third Uncle became cold and serious.
Third Aunt is still the best, she is the most gentle person.
After chatting for a while, Shen Yueyao went with Su Ruoyun and others to pick up Dabao and Erbao.
Dabao and Erbao knew that it was a day off today, so they talked to their two roommates in the dormitory and then went out.
Although they are young, the four of them living in the same dormitory get along very well, just like brothers.
The four of us attended classes together, ate in the cafeteria together, went to the library together, and discussed and studied together.
When the two came out, they saw Su Ruoyun and happily ran up to hug her, "Second sister!"
Su Ruoyun hadn't seen Dabao and Erbao for a month. She looked at them and said, "Oh, you've grown taller and stronger."
Looking at the changes in the two people, Su Ruoyun was happy for them.
Dabao, also known as Su Ling, said: "Second sister, in addition to studying in class every day, we also have to run, learn archery and martial arts, and eat a lot."
Su Ruoyun said, "It feels like Wende Academy is different from other academies. Other academies only teach textbook knowledge and don't teach martial arts!"
Shen Yueyao explained: "It's good to learn more kung fu. It can strengthen your body. When you are in good health, you will have more energy to study."
That is indeed the case.
Lidya Su looked at Shen Yueyao, as if he wanted to say something.
Shen Yueyao asked, "What do you want to say?"
Lidya Su said seriously: "Mom and Dad, can we invite Brother Zheng Chen and Brother Guan Shidian to come to our house to play?"
Shen Yueyao thought they were going to say something, but she said happily, "Of course you can invite your friends to your house. Mom will cook delicious food myself tomorrow, and you can also take out your toys and play with them."
The academy didn't allow them to bring toys, so they left them at home.
You can play when you get home.
When they heard their mother agreed, they were both very happy.
However, because it was getting late, we could only invite them during the day the next day.
Zheng Chen and Guan Shidian's homes are quite far from each other, so they usually stay in the dormitory during their rest time.
"Oh, by the way, Brother Wen Shuran is here too."
Wen Moshu and Yang Yanran stayed in Hezhou for a while and then went back.
Wen Shuran has officially entered the academy to study.
Although Wen Shuran, Su Ling and Su Yang are not in the same dormitory, the three of them get along very well.
Wen Shuran has a quiet personality and is knowledgeable and talented. Guan Shidian and Zheng Chen are also willing to contact him to discuss knowledge.
Shen Yueyao smiled and said, "Okay, all of your friends come to my house to play."
"Tonight, your sister Ruoyun made pork floss sushi. Let's go home and eat pork floss sushi."
When they heard about the meat floss, both of them became excited and walked home excitedly.
…
Su Ruoyun stayed in the mansion for an hour and then came out.
She was about to go back to the restaurant.
Xiao Lenghan had been waiting in the dark.
Watching Su Ruoyun get on the carriage, he protected her secretly.
Escort her all the way to the restaurant.
Su Ruoyun didn't know that Xiao Lenghan was protecting her until she entered the restaurant.
However, a secret guard reported this matter to Su Xueyi.
Su Xueyi was thoughtful after hearing this.
When Shen Yueyao heard the news in the evening, a smile appeared on her face.
"It seems like this guy treats Ruoyun well!"
"He is a considerate person. He secretly protects Ruoyun without letting her know."
"It turns out Ruoyun is right. She must have reasons to believe in this person."
Su Xueyi said: "This person's identity may not be just a killer!"
