Chapter 255: People really can’t have weaknesses
Jiang Yu washed himself clean, changed into clean clothes, washed his hair, and made sure there was no smell on his body before returning to the carriage.
We didn't dare to delay, so we ate something to fill our stomachs and then started on our journey in the dark.
Two more letters have been sent from Zhongzhou. They were written by Jiang Yunhe. He told Jiang Yu not to worry and to put his own safety first. The sect leader has Doctor Sun on his side, and he will do his best to stabilize his condition.
Whether it is acupuncture, medicinal bath, or even hanging with thousand-year-old ginseng, it can last for a while.
However, the old man's mind is no longer clear, and he has been relying on his own perseverance to persevere. He wants to personally hand over Fengyue Villa to Jiang Yu before he dies.
But Jiang Yu was still anxious. Although he didn't show it on his face, Su Wan knew it clearly.
He hardly slept these days, and kept looking at the map to ensure the smoothest and safest route, minimizing the danger as much as possible.
Jiang Yu's hair stood up before it was completely dry. The weather in December was very cold, and white air could be seen coming out of his breath when he spoke.
The first thing he did when he came up was to pull her into his arms and hug her tightly.
"Did it scare you?"
Su Wan shook her head in his arms and replied:
"Don't be afraid, they were the ones who wanted to kill you first, you were acting in self-defense!"
She said this while also trying to convince herself.
"Listen to me. From now on, no matter what happens, as long as the situation is not right or you encounter danger, don't worry about anything else. Just run forward and protect yourself. I'm sorry to drag you into this storm, but don't worry, even if I die, I will leave you a way out."
As Jiang Yu spoke, he silently hugged her tighter.
His tone was gentle and sincere, and he really blamed himself. Sometimes he wondered if it was really right for him to put his beloved in danger in order to fulfill his grandfather's wish?
Before he set off, he had already instructed his subordinates that if they encountered an irreversible situation, all they had to do was to protect Su Wan's retreat at all costs and not to worry about him.
Yu Wushang's target is him. As long as he leaves enough time, he can ensure Su Wan's safe departure.
He has grown up so much and has so many concerns when doing things for the first time. In the past, if he encountered such a situation, he would be absolutely calm and fearless.
So, people really cannot have weaknesses. Once they have weaknesses, they will be like him now, with too many things to worry about.
But if it was Su Wan, he would not regret it, and even feel honored for it, thanking God for sending her to him. He thought he would never have any weaknesses in his life.
When Su Wan heard him say this, she actually didn't know how to answer. She thought, if it really came to that, she would probably choose to run away. She was not absolutely love-brained, because she always remembered that she still had parents and brother waiting for her to come home. If she had an accident, how big a blow would it be to them?
Is this selfish? Maybe!
She was also very sorry that she couldn't give up everything to accompany him to death. Family and lover were important, and she was now willing to take a gamble with him.
"I believe in you, and you should believe in yourself too. We will definitely see your grandfather safely."
Jiang Yu nodded softly in response.
In the second half of the night, Su Wan fell asleep. When she opened her eyes again, it was dawn. They were already on the empty official road, surrounded by mountains. After another day and a half of walking, they would reach Yufeng Mountain.
I don’t know how Fengying is doing, and whether he encountered an ambush on the road.
They encountered several more assassination attempts, but they were not large-scale. Roadblocks were set up in some places, and huge rocks blocked the middle of the road, so they had to take a long detour.
But fortunately, everything was resolved perfectly. Jiang Yu suffered little loss and Su Wan was also well protected.
But he understood that the real battle was not far away. It would only take two more days of water travel to cross Yufeng Mountain. The shipping of Fengyue Villa was on Mohe River, and now his people had infiltrated it.
As long as we meet up with the shipping people, we will be safe and can then go directly to Fengyue Villa.
Yufeng Mountain will be Yu Wushang's last line of defense, and he will arrange a large number of assassins to ambush.
Along the way, there were stabbings openly, killings in secret, and many sneak attacks. If it weren't for the fact that there were several routes back to Fengyue Villa, Yu Wushang would have defended every route to ensure that nothing would go wrong, thus dispersing a lot of forces.
If all the killers were gathered together, even the Lord would be unable to stop them.
Along the way, Jiang Yu changed the route several times through his own layout planning, and then made a surprise counterattack, avoiding many obstacles and reducing the damage to the lowest level.
He didn't leave the Strange Stone Forest. Yu Wushang should have received the news, and his forces would definitely be concentrated in the Yufeng Mountain area.
He has been planning for this day for too long, and Jiang Yu couldn't predict for sure how many assassins he had trained.
In the evening of the next day, when they were almost at the foot of Yufeng Mountain, Jiang Yu ordered a group of people to take Su Wan on horseback and take a detour, bypassing Yufeng Mountain and going directly to Hangyun to wait for him to meet up.
At this time, no one would notice her leaving. As long as Jiang Yu was still there and deliberately let them see clearly that he was still there, they would not care about the life and death of others. They just wanted him to die.
Therefore, he was using himself as a target. He had to get Su Wan to her destination safely first to prevent her from getting into any accidents because of him. Otherwise, he would blame himself even in the underworld.
When Su Wan saw him suddenly make this arrangement, he immediately understood his intention.
He found her a nightgown and asked her to change into it, so that she could hide from others and leave quietly.
Su Wan pulled his sleeve, wanting him to go with her.
"I can go first, but can you come with me? Can't we be more secretive and disguise ourselves better?"
Su Wan is very clear-headed and cherishes her life. She will not gamble with her life, but she also does not want to watch Jiang Yu go into danger. When she came here, she really did not think that this road would be so dangerous and difficult to walk.
It was only after experiencing many assassination attempts that she realized that Jiang Yu had been facing these injuries since he was a child.
"Yes, young master, I can put on your clothes and pretend to be you, and then you can quietly leave with Miss Su Liu."
Jiang Yu's men also thought so. They were willing to die for him without any complaints.
"Yu Wushang is not a fool, and neither are his men. If I'm not here, they'll soon see through my plan. The best way is for them to take you away first, while I wait for Fengying's support. As long as he can provide timely support, I have at least a 60% chance of escaping unscathed."
Jiang Yu had made up his mind. He put the black night cloak on Su Wan and tied it up, then put the hat on her.
"Don't worry. When I was born, my old man asked the imperial master to calculate my fate. He said I would not die young. I have a long life. So, wait for me, okay?"
