Chapter 190: Do something big
"Could it be the Huo family?" Uncle Lin made a bold guess.
Wen Yan smiled slightly.
Everyone knew that Uncle Lin was right.
When Chen Wu Ge was monitoring Wen Ruyue, he encountered another grain-collecting team, which was entirely composed of Huo Yaoxing's men.
"Huo Yaoxing has Situ Ming passing on information, and they are working together inside and outside. We can't set a trap in advance, so we may not be able to get the food smoothly." Uncle Lin analyzed.
"The greater the risk, the greater the profit." Wen Yan said, "So, we can't let our guard down and must keep abreast of their movements. Also, I need help."
Wen Yan is ready to do something big.
After all, Huo Yaoxing is the eldest son of the Marquis of Jinping.
Since he has decided to take advantage of this loss regardless of his reputation, he will not make such a small fuss like Wen Ruyue.
According to the news sent back by Uncle Chen Wu, if Huo Yaoxing saved a little of the grain he had stored, it could provide food for the victims for half a year.
Wen Yan's eyes were fixed on Situ Ming below.
This time, not only did she want Wen Ruyue to make a losing deal, she also wanted Huo Yaoxing to lose everything.
Since the ruthless Situ Ming has already left the capital, he should never go back.
She failed in dealing with Sun Rulan last time, so this time, she will be more cautious and will never fail again.
Situ Ming suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of Wen Yan.
His eyes were fixed, as if he had some special ability to see through everything here.
Wen Yan was startled and took several steps back.
If it wasn't so late at night and the view wasn't obstructed, they would have been exposed.
Uncle Shitou tutted, "Pah, that kid is quite perceptive."
Situ Ming called a bodyguard and a security guard, pointed in Wen Yan's direction and said something.
The escort and the guards immediately walked towards Wen Yan.
"Hurry up and don't let them find out and reveal their true identity."
Wen Yan and his group moved quickly.
When attacked, Wen Ruyue was shocked and scared, her expression was tense and she couldn't care about anything else.
The situation was stable at the moment, but the corpses scattered all over the ground and the strong smell of blood made her feel nauseous.
Every breath she took made her stomach churn and she felt excruciating pain.
Coupled with the loss of half a truckload of food, she was already furious and didn't want to stay here any longer.
At her strong request, the team set off after a brief rest and left this troubled place.
Wen Yan and the others followed closely behind, not too close nor too far away.
After a day, they walked until noon the next day before the team stopped to rest.
Wen Yan's team also took a rest.
She discovered that Wu Yunzi had not been in good condition since the attack last night and seemed to be avoiding her.
Wen Yan sighed and walked towards him.
As soon as Wu Yunzi saw her, his eyes avoided her and his body turned away subconsciously.
Wen Yan sat down next to him, handed him a water bag, and asked straight to the point, "What's wrong? Were you frightened by my interrogation methods last night?"
Wu Yunzi glanced at the water bag, hesitated for a moment, and didn't dare to reach out to take it.
"I'll find an escort to take you back to the next town."
Wu Yunzi lowered his head and did not object this time.
Because of his physical condition, he has been protected by his family in all aspects since he was a child. The first time he saw such a brutal and bloody scene, he suffered serious physical and mental damage.
In his view, although those "disaster victims" had become bandits and committed bad things, they were already prisoners. Why kill them all? It's better to show mercy when you can.
Wen Yan's willingness to raise funds for the disaster victims in Jinyang Prefecture shows that she has a kind heart. Those captives are also disaster victims, so why not give them another chance?
For a moment,
He really couldn't look at Wen Yan with a normal attitude.
Wen Yan should not be disappointed.
"When we get to a larger town and find a reliable escort, I'll send you back immediately."
After Wen Yan finished speaking, he stood up and left.
"Wait." Wu Yunzi suddenly called him.
"What else? Don't you want to leave?" Wen Yan teased him deliberately.
Wu Yunzi's pale, round face flushed. "I just want to ask, does Ying Zhilin know that you're so cruel?"
Wen Yan smiled at him and said, "Go ask him!"
Wu Yunzi was startled by her laughter, and quickly looked away, placing his hands on his knees obediently.
Wen Yan pursed her lips and smiled, then called Pei'er, took out the oilcloth, and set up a simple tent.
"Miss, what are we setting up a tent for?"
"You'll know in a moment. Pearl, go get me my dressing-case bag."
"Oh, okay." Pei'er responded and ran quickly to the horse and got a cloth bag.
After Wen Yan took it, she took out bottles and jars of different colors and started painting on her face.
She first used a liquid to apply all over her face.
The neck, arms, and all exposed parts are taken care of.
After the liquid dries, wipe it again with a damp cloth.
Her skin took on a sickly dark yellow color.
Pei'er covered her mouth in shock: "Miss, your skin color..."
"Don't worry, it will go away in a month or so." Wen Yan opened a cloth bag and continued to fiddle with her face.
Time passed unnoticed. Uncle Lin glanced at the sky and said, "The grain transport team should be resting soon. Miss has been in the tent for such a long time, why hasn't she come out yet?"
"Don't worry, we'll call the young lady out after the grain transport team starts moving," said Uncle Shitou.
Just then, a group of people came towards this side.
Uncle Shitou nudged Uncle Lin with his arm and said, "Old Lin, look over there. Is that the manager of the grain transport team?"
"It's him!" Uncle Lin whispered, "Don't panic, just pretend you don't know me, I'll handle it."
After a while, the steward came to them.
The steward's eyes swept over the few people, and then he said politely: "Everyone, I am the steward of the team in front. My master asked your leader to come over and talk."
Uncle Lin and his companions looked at each other and were about to call for help when the curtain of the tent was lifted.
Wen Yan, with sallow skin, lowered her head and walked out, supporting Pei'er, who was dressed in bright clothes.
Pei'er couldn't hide her joy on her face. She said to the steward, "Thank you for your help. My father and I will be there soon."
Pei'er called Wu Yunzi "Dad".
Wu Yunzi followed with gritted teeth.
Seeing this, Uncle Lin and the others quickly packed their luggage and followed.
After a while, they arrived at Wen Ruyue's team.
At this time, Wen Ruyue had already packed up.
Even when she was in a hurry, she did not take off her cumbersome and complicated clothes, and she wore a lot of pearl hairpins and step-shakes on her head.
She stood in front of the carriage, waiting for Wen Yan and the other two to come over.
Pearl was obviously a little timid.
Wen Yan held her hand and squeezed it hard, and Pei'er calmed down.
She strode over with joy and flattery: "Meet this sister."
Wen Ruyue said coldly, "Hmm," and said, "Look up."
Pei'er raised her head timidly: "Sister, what's wrong with me?"
Wen Ruyue ignored her and turned around and shook her head at Situ Ming who was not far away.
Situ Ming signaled the maid beside Pei'er with his eyes.
Wen Ruyue looked at Wen Yan again: "You, raise your head."
Wen Yan bent his waist, not only did he not raise his head, but he buried his head even lower.
Wen Ruyue raised her eyebrows, obviously angry.
