Chapter 2355 Meeting Master
In fact, Cheng Daren did send a signal to that person, but he didn't know if the person could understand his meaning.
It was the first time he had met that person, and they weren't familiar with each other.
If the other party is clever, they will naturally go back and tell General Shen. If they fail to see through it, then General Shen will be in danger.
Thinking of this, Master Cheng couldn't help but feel anxious.
He wasn't afraid of death; if he could spread the news, his death would at least bring honor to the Cheng family as a family of heroes. But he feared that his death would be meaningless.
And what's worse is...
"The black market people not only want the 20,000 troops, but also the many prisoners in the southwest. The southwest is a place of exile, and there are many vicious criminals. They are making a big fuss about the emperor's refusal to grant a general amnesty, trying to recruit these people and expand their own forces."
Shu Yu's expression was solemn. "They used similar methods when they were in Changjin Prefecture."
However, the efforts in Changjin Prefecture had little effect. But this was a place of exile, and many people were able to endure it only by hoping for a chance at amnesty. Now that the amnesty was over, those who had committed crimes would have to do hard labor in this place for the rest of their lives, and their descendants would be criminals, forever inferior to others.
At this moment, the Second Prince raised his arm and called for a different path for them, and naturally many people responded.
Cheng Daren felt that things were developing in the worst possible direction. "If they really gathered so many people, then the Southwest would be their domain."
Shu Yu remained silent. There was still one thing she didn't understand: the reason the other party didn't kill Cheng Daren was to be on the safe side, but what about herself?
Why did they only arrest them? And why did they leave Ah Yun alone?
Just as Shu Yu was pondering, the door was opened.
Everyone turned to look at the doorway and saw Cheng Wu standing outside. The Cheng family members glared at him angrily.
Cheng Wu disagreed, looked at Shu Yu, and said with a smile, "Princess Wen'an, please come with me."
"Where are you going?" Ying Xi and Xia Yan immediately blocked Shu Yu's path, looking ready to attack at any moment.
Chengwu smiled and said, "Didn't the county princess want to see the abbot of Dongqing Temple? The abbot is also waiting for the county princess."
Upon hearing this, Shu Yu pushed aside Ying Xi and the other man, and said to Cheng Wu, "Lead the way."
Yingxi was worried. "Miss, I'll go with you."
Chengwu laughed and said, "Only the county princess can go alone."
Shu Yu patted Ying Xi on the shoulder, "You stay here, I'll be right back."
Then, under the worried gazes of Ying Xi and the others, Shu Yu followed Cheng Wu outside.
This time, her hands weren't tied up. Well, the weapons in her hands had been taken away. Cheng Wu was a capable bodyguard of Lord Cheng and was a highly skilled martial artist himself.
Chengwu led Shuyu out of the courtyard, walked more than thirty meters to the left, and stood in front of another courtyard.
This courtyard is smaller than the previous one, and the doors and windows of the rooms inside are also nailed shut. Judging from its guarded appearance, it is no less fortified than the previous courtyard.
Shu Yu entered the courtyard and stood in front of the house. Cheng Wu unlocked the door and pushed it open.
Shu Yu immediately spotted the abbot of Dongqing Temple, who was sitting cross-legged on the couch, resting with his eyes closed.
Her eyes lit up, and she quickly stepped forward, "Master."
The abbot of Dongqing Temple opened his eyes, paused slightly when he saw her, and then sighed, "You really have come."
The door behind Shu Yu was closed by Cheng Wu, leaving only the two of them, master and disciple, in the large room.
