Chapter 347 The Duke is absolutely inhuman.
"Master, but... are you really upright?"
Sun Wu couldn't help but say something, and Sun Wen, who was next to him, was so frightened that he immediately covered his mouth.
"Say less, no one will think you're mute!"
After scolding his brother, Sun Wen immediately turned to look at Chi Heng: "Master, please don't take this fool to heart. I think you came at the right time, you came just in the right way. You came to rescue General Li's wife, it shows your kindness."
Upon hearing this, Chi Heng's expression changed from gloomy to cheerful.
"Of course. That bastard Chen Shu did something like this, so I'm here to clean up his mess."
He thought to himself, if Li Rong went berserk, he could find him even if he hid in his shell, let alone retreated back to the capital. He'd tried everything else, but nothing worked. Chi Heng weighed the options for several days, deciding he should still make the trip.
After all, it wasn't easy for that stubborn mule Li Rong to get married, and if things fell apart again, he would truly be unable to eat or sleep in peace.
"Do you think his wife will cooperate with him?"
For a moment, he felt uncertain.
“That’s for sure,” Sun Yat-sen said. “The general was so handsome and dashing; he was the dream lover of women all over the world.”
He coughed as he finished speaking, "Of course, I'm still a little inferior to you. This woman must be very anxious, afraid that the general will misunderstand. Your appearance is like a lifesaver for her. When the time comes, you two can explain to the general together, and I'm sure the matter will be over."
Upon hearing this, Chi Heng nodded immediately and strode forward with great pride and confidence.
Behind him, Sun Wu looked guilty and finally couldn't help but lower his voice to ask, "Brother, do you really believe that Grandpa is innocent?"
Sun Wen nodded subconsciously, but then frowned: "Why do you still doubt me?"
Sun Tzu: "I haven't been with you for a long time. As far as I know, you haven't been with me all the time either."
Upon hearing this, Sun Yat-sen glared and said, "Don't make wild guesses. Anyway, if I say you're innocent, then you're innocent."
Sun Wu: "You know my temper. The portrait of General Li's wife is like a celestial being. But the Duke... he's just too inhuman!"
"Pah! Pah! Pah! How can you talk like that?"
Sun Wen glanced at his master in front and said, "Master has really been wronged this time! That painting was indeed painted by that bastard Chen Shu to flatter him, after he misunderstood the meaning."
Sun Tzu: "Huh? I don't believe it."
Chi Heng suddenly stopped, squinted, and turned back: "Why don't you two just whisper in my ear?"
Upon hearing this, both Sun Wen and Sun Wu became obedient, shrinking their necks and pretending to be quails.
"Just you wait, I'll deal with you when we get back!"
At that time, Chi Heng had already arrived at the gate of Jiang Nuan's house. Looking at the rather tall iron gate, he nodded repeatedly: "It seems that Li Rong is having a really good time in the fields."
Then, he took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
He and Li Rong entered the village one after the other. Chi Heng pondered that Li Rong probably hadn't had time to cause trouble for his wife yet, and that he had arrived just in time: "Excuse me, is anyone home? Is this Doctor Jiang's house?"
Soon after, a sound was heard in the courtyard. Chi Heng tensed up instantly, holding her breath and waiting, lost in thought.
"Squeak."
The door opened with a click, and Chi Heng, who was standing at the door, was stunned for a moment when he saw Li Rong opening the door.
"Why are you here? Didn't you say you were busy?" Li Rong squinted slightly as he looked at Chi Heng.
Seeing Li Rong's pale face, Chi Heng's heart skipped a beat. She gave a dry laugh and said, "Hehe, well, I have something important to tell you."
"Wait, don't say anything yet. Come in with me first."
Li Rong stepped aside to let him in, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. After pulling Chi Heng a few steps, he stopped and said, "Wait for me."
Immediately afterwards, he went and locked his front door tightly.
Seeing Li Rong close the door, Sun Wu behind him turned pale with fright: "My lord, is the general planning to kill us to silence us?"
Chi Heng was in no mood to train his stupid servant at this moment, because he himself was also very anxious. When he saw Li Rong grab him again and even smile at him, Chi Heng finally couldn't help but say: "Please, if you want to kill or torture me, just do it, okay? Stop smiling, it's creeping me!"
"Chiheng, something's wrong with you." Li Rong suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at him: "You wouldn't have done something to wrong me, would you?"
Upon hearing this, the surroundings fell silent. Sun Wu nearly sat down on his backside, but Sun Wen pulled him back to his feet.
Chi Heng glanced at Li Rong, then steeled herself: "I came here to talk to you."
"Don't say anything yet, put everything else aside for now." The next second, Li Rong suddenly grabbed someone and dragged them to the door. Then, he pushed Chi Heng: "Knock on the door."
Chi Heng: "???"
He looked at the door in front of him with a puzzled expression. This door was unusual; it was made of fine iron, very heavy, and decorated with intricate patterns—quite beautiful, actually. But why did Li Rong tell him to knock? Was there some kind of hidden weapon on the door?
Before Chi Heng could figure it out, Li Rong couldn't wait any longer and knocked directly: "Anuan, Anuan, um... my friend is here. He came all the way from Kyoto, worried about us the whole way, and didn't even have a cup of hot tea. Anuan, could you please open the door?"
As he spoke, Li Rong pressed his ear against the door, listening intently to the sounds inside.
Seeing Chi Heng standing there dumbfounded, she slapped him on the back with great dissatisfaction: "Are you mute? Say something!"
Chi Heng almost vomited blood from Li Rong's rough slap, but it didn't shake the shocked expression on his face.
What's the situation now?
He was stunned, he was dumbfounded, his mind had stopped working.
So, Li Rong can't get into his own house?
After a long while, he looked at Li Rong in disbelief: "Hey, Li Rong! You weren't locked out, were you?"
Li Rong looked at him as if he were an idiot, as if to say, "Do I even need to ask?"
Then he carefully knocked on the door three more times: "Anuan, Anuan? Can you hear what I'm saying?"
Chi Heng frowned as he looked at Li Rong, who was speaking softly and gently while prying at the door. With a look of utter confusion on his face, he looked helplessly at Sun Wen behind him and asked, "Is this noise coming from Li Rong?"
In fact, Sun Yat-sen and Sun Wu were no less surprised than he was.
However, Li Rong was completely unaware of the change in the atmosphere around him. He pressed his ear against the door and asked again, "Anuan, if you didn't hear me, I'll say it again."
Chi Heng: "???"
Sun Yat-sen and Sun Tzu: "???"
However, the room remained quiet, with nothing at all.
A moment later, they suddenly heard the dog barking excitedly, but still no one opened the door.
Li Rong rubbed his temples in a rather dejected manner, staring at Chi Heng beside him for a long while: "Truly useless."
