rescue
Before the wealthy businessman could make a further move, the door to the private room was kicked open and smashed to pieces. Xu Zixie coldly looked at everything inside, "Who gave you the audacity to touch my people?"
The wealthy businessman had never seen anything like this before, but thinking that he had paid for it, there was no distinction between "yours" and "mine." "What do you mean 'yours'? I paid for this. What are you anyway..." Before he could finish speaking, a knife was already at his neck. Xu Zixie slowly walked to the bed curtains, looking at the enchanting scenery in the room and the red marks all over Shen Muchen's exposed skin, which were extremely beautiful. Xu Zixie pulled down the red curtains by the bed to cover up the beautiful scenery brought by the person on the bed.
"I'm not exactly a good person, but since you messed with him today, I guess I'll have to let you experience it too." Xu Zixie tilted his head, and his subordinate understood his meaning. He picked up the wealthy merchant and left the room. Xu Zixie didn't say anything, but instead carried Shen Muchen to an inn to freshen up. During this time, no one noticed that the person in his arms was Shen Muchen, which was a way of saving face for Shen Muchen. Xu Zixie silently applied medicine to Shen Muchen, and finally said, "I'm sorry I'm late." He hadn't been able to protect you in time…
After settling him in, Xu Zixie waited until Shen Muchen fell asleep and then silently watched over him until the Xu Zixie of this world arrived. Only then did he reluctantly leave, saying, "He can't be discovered yet, but I will protect you in secret."
"Tsk tsk, Your Highness, how does it feel?" Shen Muchen had just woken up when a harsh voice rang in his ears. Looking at Xu Zixie's face with disgust, Shen Muchen saw Xu Zixie pinching his upper chin, forcing him to look at him. "Right now, you're nothing but someone struggling in the mud. What right do you have to look at me like that? Whether you loathe me or hate me, right now, do you have any other choice but to follow me? Oh, I forgot, you have a little follower. Don't even think about it. He failed in his duty and has been imprisoned by me. Guess who can save him?"
“Despicable! You disgust me more and more…” Shen Muchen said to Xu Zixie, word by word. “Don’t you want to save your little follower?” Xu Zixie frowned.
"Trying to use this to threaten me, you're really scheming. Too bad, we're not at that level of deep intimacy yet." Shen Muchen looked at him with a half-smile, seemingly mocking him…
"Heh, I'll make you willingly follow me; it's only a matter of time." With that, he strode away, no longer caring about the scenery inside the house.
"The world order has been disrupted and will be changed again; a new order has begun!"
After that night, Xu Zixie never appeared in front of Shen Muchen again, as if they had never met or known each other. And every day, only Jiang Yi surrounded Shen Muchen…
"Hey, Siyuan, let me tell you something. A great general is coming today. If he chooses you and takes you to the battlefield, and you win a battle, you could be ennobled and granted a title. I'm really looking forward to it. But I guess he's coming to take us to the training grounds for training, and then select the most suitable ones to take to the service office," Jiang Yi said to Shen Muchen. "I only heard this secondhand. They say that the general had a serious illness before, and when he woke up, his personality changed drastically. I wonder what triggered it. Sigh."
"Hmm... do you know what that general's name is?" Shen Muchen asked Jiang Yi.
"I've heard them mention it, but I think I've forgotten. My memory isn't very good. Let me think." Jiang Yi scratched her hair, racking her brains but still couldn't remember. She muttered to herself: What should I do? No, I need to remember! What's wrong with my brain? Why can't I even remember my name? I wasn't like this before. What's wrong with me?
After muttering to himself, he tapped his head in frustration and said to Shen Muchen with a pitiful expression, "I can't remember. I'm so useless. I can't even remember the name of that general. I'm so useless!" With that, he burst into tears.
Shen Muchen looked at Jiang Yi, who was squatting to the side sobbing, and a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips. This child seemed rather adorable, for some reason. "Alright, alright, let's comfort her first," Shen Muchen said gently to Jiang Yi. "It's nothing, it's just a small matter. Don't think about what you can't remember. I won't blame you for not remembering. Everyone's memory is different; there's no need to force yourself."
“But…” Jiang Yi wanted to say something more, but Shen Muchen continued, “No need to say it’s for me. Everyone’s abilities are limited. Just do your best and have a clear conscience.”
Jiang Yi: "I understand. I will do my best for anything that concerns you. I still stand by what I said, I will do anything, even if it means going through fire and water. It's just a matter of saying the word to you."
This child is beyond saving, but it still feels quite heartwarming, Shen Muchen thought.
"Oh, really? What a deep brotherly bond!" They knew who it was just by hearing the voice, even without seeing the person.
"Of course, too bad you don't have it, hehehe." Jiang Yi said to Li Rongliang. "Hmph, don't be so arrogant, you'll fall into my hands sooner or later." After saying that, he left.
Jiang Yi shrugged nonchalantly, indicating that she hadn't done anything. Shen Mucheng smiled helplessly, his eyes full of doting affection.
Xu Zixie witnessed this scene but said nothing and left. Shen Muchen seemed to sense something, but after glancing around, she saw no one...
Seeing Shen Muchen's actions, Jiang Yi was also puzzled and asked, "Siyuan, what's wrong? What happened?"
Shen Muchen shook his head, thinking: I'm probably overthinking it...
The real Xu Zixie hides in the shadows, quietly watching his man. He has no way to openly appear beside him. The world can only have one person, and he is abandoned by the world, watching helplessly as that person takes over his place.
"It's getting late, go and rest. We have to get up early tomorrow." Shen Muchen said to Jiang Yi before turning and leaving. Jiang Yi watched Shen Muchen's departing figure, a slight smile playing on her lips, before she quickly disappeared into the darkness.
"Tsk tsk, I really hope that when you find out the truth, you'll have the expression I'm looking forward to..."
