Yan Xu took a look and before he could say anything, the little girl called Ah Huan stepped forward.
Blinking, he looked at the scroll curiously.
"Who asked you to bring this to me?"
Although his face showed no emotion, Jiang Wan could hear a hint of fluctuation in his tone.
"Mr. Mu Hong."
Although Mu Hong and Jiang Li were in the county government when she came, he had given this thing to her a long time ago, as if he had known that she would come to the capital.
Sure enough, after hearing her words, Yan Xu's hand holding the letter tightened slightly.
"Grandpa, what is this?"
Ah Huan saw Yan Xu showing such an expression for the first time, with a hint of nervousness on his face.
Yan Xu came back to his senses and raised an old hand, which had exposed veins, was covered with gray spots, and was bony, and gently placed it on Ah Huan's head.
"It belongs to a good friend of Grandpa."
After saying this, he turned to look at Jiang Wan, "Miss, please come in."
The door was wide open, and Yan Xu turned his wheelchair into the yard first, followed by Ah Huan and Jiang Wan.
Although the courtyard is small, it has everything it needs. In the small courtyard, all daily necessities are available. There are also some children's toys in the northwest corner, which should be what the little girl in front often plays with.
After Yan Xu returned to the yard, he turned his wheelchair and went straight into the main room. He didn't come out until about a quarter of an hour later.
"My lady, I have one foot in the coffin. I never thought that I could fulfill a wish today. Please accept my respect."
As he spoke, Yan Xu actually straightened his back and bent his head towards her.
"Sir, absolutely not."
Jiang Wan's pupils suddenly shrank, and she quickly raised her hand to support him.
"Sir, you are highly respected. How can you pay homage to a junior like me?"
"You have fulfilled a wish of mine, and you deserve my respect."
Yan Xu shook her head. She didn't understand the significance of this book to him.
The great ambitions I had when I was young have changed. Now I am in my twilight years and I never thought that I would see this work come to light.
"Miss, can you tell me, is my old friend okay now?"
Even though Mu Hong was much younger than him, they were considered close friends regardless of age difference. However, he never expected that the disaster that happened ten years ago made Mu Hong disheartened and he disappeared from the public eye completely. Along with him, this published work also disappeared.
Now, seeing this published work, he knew that Mu Hong was back, and he could finally let go of his worries. After all, it was his fault back then.
When he heard Jiang Wan talk about the scene when she met Mu Hong, he looked sad, but when he heard her say that Mu Hong accepted Jiang Li as his disciple, he felt relieved.
About half an hour later, Jiang Wan said goodbye and left.
As soon as she went out, she saw Shen Qiwen waiting at the end of the alley. She paused, and before she could walk over, Shen Qiwen had already gotten off the carriage.
"Girl, are you okay?"
He just heard that she had met some bad guys. Although he had arranged people to be by her side, he was still worried.
"I'm fine, thanks to Brother Shen's early arrangements."
Shen Qiwen breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes falling on the yard behind her.
A small head quickly shrank back when it met his gaze.
He didn't take it to heart, but just a flash of his eyes.
"In that case, let's go back first."
Jiang Wan looked up. There was something wrong with what he said.
After returning to Luoyu Residence, Jiang Wan finally spoke.
"Brother Shen, has something happened?"
She could feel that on the way back, Shen Qiwen had been tense and had not relaxed at all.
"Well, when I returned to the capital, I found out that the Zhennan Palace was colluding with foreign enemies and wanted to harm Zhao State. Now, the Zhennan Palace is desperate, and I don't know what they will do."
So sudden?
Jiang Wan's heart skipped a beat. The rebellion in Prince Zhennan's Mansion happened so early?
"What about Jiang Yue?"
"You were right before. The army of the Zhennan Palace has been stationed thirty miles outside the capital. Now, the Zhennan Palace in the capital has become an empty shell."
"Jiang Yue has already left through the secret passage, and the Zhennan King's army has brought a weapon with extremely lethal power."
"gunpowder?"
Jiang Wan's eyes widened, but soon calmed down. Jiang Yue always used any means to achieve her goals.
In the previous life, he rescued the people just for the sake of reputation. In the war, when that extremely powerful gunpowder was used, it was the people who suffered in the end.
But now, they have to face it.
"If you hadn't already developed the formula for gunpowder, Zhao would have been defeated this time."
Shen Qiwen’s face was solemn.
"Then... what does Brother Shen need me to do this time?"
Shen Qiwen lowered his head and looked directly at her, "Girl, you don't need to do anything, and you are not allowed to take risks. All you need to do is protect yourself."
"The capital is in turmoil, and I may not be able to fully protect you because I am distracted here."
"Brother Shen, please be busy with your own affairs. Don't worry about me. I will stay in Luoyu Residence for the next few days."
"good."
The night was as dark as ink, a moon hung high in the sky, and the moonlight fell into the courtyard, which was silent.
Suddenly, there was a crackling sound, and Jiang Wan opened her eyes suddenly, waking up from her dream.
His eyes were a little confused, but soon they became clear. He put on his coat, opened the door and walked into the yard.
As soon as she took a step outside, she realized something was wrong. The yard was so quiet that it was a little eerie.
But outside the yard, across the alley far away, you can vaguely hear crackling sounds.
His fingertips curled slightly, he paused, and looked up at the rooftop not far away.
