Chapter 29 The Coachman's Dark Moonlight Green Plum 28
Chen Xinran chuckled, "Huajing City is so big, don't be too confident."
Zhao Huaxing sighed deeply. "Try not to go out these days. Even if you do go out, bring a few more people with you. I'm afraid they'll seek revenge on you."
Shen Xinran smiled and nodded, "Okay."
What Zhao Huaxing didn't know was that his words would come true. The next day, when Shen Xinran went out, she saw a little boy crying on the street.
Shen Xinran frowned, subconsciously walked up to the child, and asked, "Little friend, where are your parents?"
The little boy burst into tears, "They...they are gone."
Shen Xinran patted the little boy's shoulder and smiled: "It's okay, do you still remember where your home is? Sister will take you there."
The little boy pointed to the alley beside him and whispered, "It seems to be over there."
Shen Xinran was followed by two soldiers, who were specially arranged by Zhao Huaxing to be by her side to protect her.
So Shen Xinran was not afraid at all. She followed the little boy around in the alley until she came to a dead end.
Shen Xinran squatted down, touched the little boy's head, and continued to smile: "Little friend, don't be nervous, think carefully, where is your home?"
The little boy didn't know what he saw, his pupils suddenly shrank, he broke free from Shen Xinran's hand and ran behind Shen Xinran.
At the corner of the alley stood a woman with tears in her eyes and Meng Sheng and Yang Wen holding guns.
The two soldiers' eyes changed, and they stepped forward and stood in front of Shen Xinran. Their mission was to ensure Shen Xinran's safety.
Shen Xinran shook his head and sighed, "You appear in front of me so openly, aren't you afraid that I will arrest you?"
Meng Sheng played with the gun in his hand and shook his head. "Since I dare to appear in front of you, I can naturally guarantee that you can't touch me."
Shen Xinran asked back, "You want to use me as a hostage to threaten Zhao Huaxing?"
Meng Sheng laughed directly, "Miss Chen is such a beautiful person, how could I bear to hurt you!"
Chen Xinran nodded. "So you want to tie me up and take me with you? Putting aside whether you can beat the two men in front of me, just take me with you. The security of Huajing City will be increased several times. By then, you really won't be able to escape."
The corners of Meng Sheng's lips curled up into a slight smile. "I know, so I just came to say goodbye to you, my Miss Chen."
Yang Wen glanced outside the alley, looking anxious, "Master, everything is ready in the east part of the city. We should leave."
Meng Sheng walked in front of Shen Xinran. Just as the soldiers were about to take action, Shen Xinran gave them a look, signaling them to stay calm.
The soldiers had no choice but to give up, but their eyes were always fixed on Meng Sheng. If Meng Sheng made any move that threatened Shen Xinran's life, they would immediately shoot.
Meng Sheng pinched Shen Xinran's chin, curled his lips and smiled meaningfully, "Goodbye, my Miss Chen."
Shen Xinran watched Meng Sheng turn and leave, her brows slightly furrowed. She didn't believe he was just coming to say goodbye. But he did leave, which was completely illogical.
When Zhao Huaxing received the news and came over, Shen Xinran had already walked out of the alley. He walked straight up and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Shen Xinran shook his head and said seriously, "Meng Sheng said he came to say goodbye to me, but he deliberately said in front of me that they were going to leave from the east side of the city."
Zhang Laowu, who came along with them, frowned and said, "This must be a lie. They said east city, so we'll just go west city and block them."
Zhao Huaxing pondered for a moment and shook his head. "No, it's precisely because this lie is so clumsy that we should block the east side of the city."
Shen Xinran smiled and said, "I think so too."
Yang Wen, who was here, saw that the number of guards in the east of the city was increasing, and he couldn't help but frown, "Master, has Zhao Huaxing been fooled or not?"
A hint of gloom flashed across Meng Sheng's eyes. "It seems you haven't been fooled. Let's withdraw."
While the two were talking, a young woman passed by. The woman said in a low voice, "If you want to live, follow me."
Meng Sheng and Yang Wen looked at each other, then followed the woman to a mansion.
The woman turned around and said sternly, "The city gates are now blocked, and you can't get out. Disguise yourselves as slaves and hide here. When the situation eases, I'll lead you out."
Yang Wen looked at the woman with a scrutinizing look in his eyes, "Who are you and why are you helping us?"
The woman smiled and said, "Because we have someone we hate in common."
Meng Sheng had already guessed the woman's identity from the surname on the mansion's name. He smiled and nodded, "Thank you very much, Miss He."
Zhao Huaxing went out early and came back late every day these days. He searched Huajing City from top to bottom but still couldn't find Meng Sheng and his group.
Shen Xinran watched Zhao Huaxing becoming increasingly thinner and untidy. She also found it funny.
"Huajing City is so big, they can disguise themselves casually, and finding them will be extremely difficult. So, don't be angry with yourself."
Zhao Huaxing knew this in his heart, but he just couldn't accept it. He let the hostage who was delivered to his door escape.
Meng Sheng did not send any news back for a month, and the people from Country M knew that their base in Huajing had been discovered.
They gave up attacking Huajing and changed their strategy, going around the coast to the south and attacking from the south. Cities in the south fell one after another, and Huajing became the last line of defense for China.
If Huajing is defeated, then Country M can easily take over half of China from the northeast downwards.
In order to defend Huajing, Zhao Huaxing became busy again and stayed in the military camp to study strategies.
Shen Xinran hadn't seen Zhao Huaxing for several days until that night.
Zhao Huaxing walked into the room with heavy steps, the dark circles under his eyes as if he hadn't slept for a week. "I've heard that Country M will reach Huajing in less than two weeks. Let me take you away."
After Zhao Huaxing finished speaking, he stared at Shen Xinran's eyes. He didn't know whether he wanted Shen Xinran to leave or stay.
He wanted Shen Xinran to live, but he didn't want Shen Xinran to abandon him again. He could only give Shen Xinran the power to make this decision.
Shen Xinran pretended not to notice the reluctance in Zhao Huaxing's eyes and nodded with a smile, "Okay."
Zhao Huaxing's heart suddenly sank. He smiled stiffly and said, "Then I'll prepare a train ticket for you."
Shen Xinran touched Zhao Huaxing's unshaven face and sighed, "You haven't slept for several days. Go to bed early today!"
As usual, Shen Xinran slept with Zhao Huaxing in her arms. But Zhao Huaxing felt empty inside and stared out the window until dawn.
The morning mist filled the rails as the train slowly pulled into the platform. People on the platform, carrying bags large and small, scrambled frantically to get on.
Zhao Huaxing held Shen Xinran's hand and stood outside. He smiled bitterly: "The sleeper ticket I bought for you is in the seventh car."
Shen Xinran smiled and nodded, "Okay."
