Chapter 284 I'll kill you!
"Is it hard to guess?" Li Rong said, "I'll keep it."
Chi Heng was immediately taken aback: "You, you, you, you gave it to me, what kind of nonsense is this, keeping it!"
He immediately reached out to snatch it, but with just a few punches and kicks, Li Rong gently pushed him back.
The guards and Chen Shu immediately went over to support Chi Heng.
Li Rong raised an eyebrow and patted his sleeve: "Since you say she's my wife's sister, I'll take her back and show her to Anuan later."
Chi Heng: "You, you, you, stop messing around and give it to me right now."
Li Rong had already mounted his horse: "You are my only close friend. It wouldn't hurt to let my wife see what you look like."
As she spoke, she squinted at Chi Heng and said, "Why are you so stingy? Do you think you can't face anyone? Or is there something fishy about this painting?"
Towards the end, Li Rong's voice carried a hint of danger.
Chi Heng swallowed hard, stared at him blankly for a long time, and didn't say a word.
What the hell is going on?
Li Rong took a portrait of himself and his wife back to show her.
Does this seem right?
When that narrow-minded guy finds out the truth, will he still be able to have a complete corpse? Huh?
Li Rong seemed pleased with his honesty and nodded: "No need to see me off."
Then, Chi Heng watched as Li Rong waved to him and slowly disappeared from his sight.
"He's gone?"
The guard replied, "Yes, Master."
"He took that portrait with him when he left?"
Chen Shu smiled, revealing a set of neat teeth: "Yes, Master, General Li seems to really like my painting."
After a long silence, Chi Heng suddenly burst into a roar.
"Chen! Shu!"
I'll kill you!!!
The roar was so powerful that it shook the grass and trees, caused birds to fall to the ground, mothers to cover their children's ears, and even adults were awestruck, their hats flying wildly in the wind.
Li Rong rode swiftly into Canglin City, by which time it was already quite dark. He did not rush to General Wan Yu's camp, but instead found a place to stay.
"Waiter."
Not long after, Li Rong took the letter he had just written and went out to find the waiter.
"Please give your instructions, sir."
"Please mail this letter for me. And please find a courier to deliver this visiting card to the Chen family in the east of the city."
Li Rong handed the two letters and the money to the waiter, who immediately accepted them with a smile: "Sir, do you have a past relationship with the Shen family? Lord Shen is probably not at home now, so you should send this visiting card to the military camp."
Li Rong was taken aback: "Patriarch Shen is on duty at the military camp?"
The waiter was speechless for a moment, then asked suspiciously, "Sir, you didn't know?"
Li Rong smiled faintly: "Master Shen is an old acquaintance of my wife. I am here today at her request and do not know him personally. Please wait a little longer, young man."
He strode inside, wrote another visiting card, and handed it to the waiter: "Please trouble the Shen family and the camp to send visiting cards."
As he spoke, he sealed the silver again.
The waiter was overjoyed, after all, people with a past relationship with the Shen family were not to be underestimated, and Lord Shen was even more generous, actually delivering a visiting card to his home and giving him a reward that was enough for half a year's expenses.
It now seemed this guest was probably trying to curry favor with the family, and he probably wouldn't get the reward money from the Shen family. However, the amount offered was quite substantial, so the waiter decided to accept and hurried off. He delivered the visiting card but didn't linger; he wanted to return home immediately.
Before they had gone far, they heard gasps of surprise behind them.
"Hey buddy, wait a minute, wait a minute!"
The waiter turned around and saw Master Shen running towards him while putting on his coat. He even lost his shoes in the process, went back to pick them up, and then chased after him again.
Waiter: "?"
The strategist's eyes were filled with surprise: "Wait, wait! Where is the person who delivered the visiting card? Has he arrived yet?"
"Strategist, please wait a moment, we haven't finished eating yet," the guard behind him said.
"Lord Shen is in our inn," the waiter replied naively.
Shen Junshi immediately pulled out some silver from his pocket and stuffed it into his younger brother's hand: "Quick, take me to see him."
"You all, quickly prepare a fine room. Doctor Jiang's husband has come to Canglin. It would be our fault if we let him stay at an inn!"
After walking a few steps, Chen Junshi turned back and shouted, "Send someone to the military camp to quickly inform the general that Physician Jiang's husband has arrived and to invite him to the banquet."
The guard immediately replied, "Yes."
Then, he hesitated and said, "Strategist, the General has been escorting His Majesty and the Sixth Prince on their long journey and has only just returned a day ago. Is it really appropriate for him to bother us now?"
"Perfect, perfect! Go quickly and come back quickly. Tell the general to hurry, don't keep people waiting. I'll go and fetch someone right away."
The waiter was dumbfounded. He was led back to his own inn by the strategist, Shen, in a daze.
"Wait, Dr. Jiang? That man is Dr. Jiang's husband?"
The waiter, as if struck by a sudden outburst, cried out in surprise. His large eyes widened as he turned sharply to the strategist beside him: "Are you talking about that Physician Jiang who saved our entire city?"
Looking at Xiao Er's appearance, Chen Junshi couldn't help but laugh, his eyes filled with pride: "Of course."
Being Dr. Jiang's friend is such a prestigious thing!
He couldn't suppress the urge to smile.
To be honest, Dr. Jiang had written to him a long time ago, and Strategist Shen had been waiting for it. After waiting for so long without any news, he even began to suspect that Dr. Jiang's husband might be out partying.
As he was thinking this, he saw the waiter suddenly slap himself across the face: "I deserve to die! How could I let the divine doctor's husband stay in this windowless, damp and cold room?"
Military Advisor Shen: "Huh?"
The two walked quickly and soon returned to the inn.
At that moment, Li Rong was writing a petition when he suddenly heard a noise. He subconsciously stopped writing and frowned as he looked towards the door.
"Honored guest, honored guest, are you inside? Lord Shen has come in person."
Li Rong paused for a moment, then immediately put down his pen, folded the paper, and put it back in his sleeve. He then quickly straightened his clothes.
Meeting Ah Nuan's friend for the first time, he naturally wanted to make a good impression. Realizing there was nothing amiss, he rubbed his face, trying to be as friendly as possible, and then slowly pushed open the door.
At that moment, the strategist outside had already straightened his clothes, maintained his best posture, and stood at the door with a smile, waiting with his back straight.
Squeak
The door slowly opened.
"Master Shen"
"Nice to meet you."
Both sides were initially in the best possible position, but upon seeing each other for the first time, they froze, swallowing the words they were about to say.
Then, a long silence spread through the air.
The waiter looked at this person and then at that person, and asked cautiously, "Lord Shen, distinguished guests, what's wrong with you?"
Strategist Shen: "It's you!"
Li Rong: "It was you!"
The two spoke in unison. The air fell silent once more.
"Are you Ah Nuan's friend?"
"Are you Dr. Jiang's husband?"
The two spoke in unison once again.
Then, there was silence again.
Military Advisor Shen's eyes widened, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled down. This man... wasn't he the friend of that annoying Duke Chi? He was Physician Jiang's husband? He couldn't believe it!!!
Li Rong's eyes also shifted. He never imagined that the friend A Nuan mentioned was the strategist under that Wan fellow? This Great Wilderness really is small!
The waiter sensed the slightly chilly atmosphere, swallowed hard, and asked timidly, "So, Lord Shen, are you still going to take this distinguished guest away?"
