Chapter 2299 Another Member Added
Shu Yu mentioned Aunt Hong, "When you return to the capital in a while, please take Aunt Hong with you. We'll need your help to take care of her along the way."
"Don't worry, leave this to me."
Hou had originally planned to return in a few days, but Kang, who was traveling with her, would stay here for a while longer to accompany Yao Bo in his studies for several months. Therefore, Aunt Hong had to ask Hou for help.
As for Wan Yan, who sent the letter, Hou had met him once and chatted with him, and knew that Wan Yan wanted to learn from him here.
He came to learn, and he was doing something legitimate, so as a concubine, Madam Hou couldn't interfere too much. Moreover, she was grateful that he delivered the letter, allowing Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng to prepare in advance.
Because of this, there's no problem for Wan Yan to stay at Zhenglu Academy.
Hou promised him that she would talk to Lord Wan and plead for him when she got back.
With everything explained, Lu Ji is now on the right track, with managers in charge of each aspect. Shu Yu no longer needs to give detailed instructions as she did at the beginning, and they can continue to operate smoothly.
Therefore, they quickly packed their bags and left the county town early the next morning.
This time, there were only four of them traveling, so they traveled light and moved quickly.
As soon as the carriage reached the city gate, they saw a man and a horse leaning against the wall waiting for them. Judging from his drowsy appearance, they seemed to have been waiting for quite a while.
"You've finally arrived."
Meng Yunzheng stepped down from the carriage and looked at Zhao Xi and the bundle on his shoulder. "What does this mean?"
"Something's not right with you guys, and you're asking me what I mean?" Zhao Xi snorted. "I'll go with you."
Zhao Xi was one of the few people who knew that the last black market was in the southwest, and he also knew that Meng Yunzheng would go there after his marriage.
His initial plan was to go secretly, which made it difficult for Zhao Xi to follow. Now, he's not only setting off openly, but he's also bringing Shu Yu along. This is unusual; something unexpected must have happened that Zhao Xi is unaware of.
Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu exchanged a glance, thought for a moment, and agreed, "Okay, let's get on the horse."
After saying that, he went back to the carriage and said to Shu Yu, "Although Zhao Xi's martial arts skills are average, he can protect himself without any problems. In particular, his medical skills are superb. He should be of use when we go to the southwest."
Shu Yu recalled the scene of rescuing Uncle Meng at Changjin Mansion. If it weren't for Doctor Mi, who had a close relationship with Uncle Meng, it wouldn't have been so easy for them to find a doctor who wasn't afraid of trouble.
So Zhao Xi became a member of the team.
However, as the carriage traveled along, he felt as if he had been hit by a thousand points of critical damage.
Looking at the newlywed couple on the left, so deeply in love, and then at Xia Yan on the right, who hadn't yet confessed his feelings but was still feeding Ying Xi, Zhao Xi's face turned very ugly.
What's so great about him? If he hadn't risked his life for the greater good, he would be enjoying family life with a loving wife and children right now, much happier than them.
Unable to bear it any longer, he angrily reminded them, "I'm telling you to be more careful. We're on our way to rescue people, not sightseeing. Can't you have a little sense of urgency? You're actually here flirting like lovers, without any pressure or worry. I really have to wonder if you're heartless."
Shu Yu, whose back was aching from traveling and who was having Meng Yunzheng massage her lower back to relax her muscles, was speechless.
