Chapter 51 Wolf Boy's Dark Moonlight Master 19
There was the sound of horse hooves, and Xie Shicheng looked back to see a group of men in various clothing, probably hundreds of them. They were riding war horses, holding long whips, and staring straight ahead.
The leader was a young man with dark skin but sharp eyes, who looked very similar to his eldest son Xie Ziyi.
Xie Shicheng sensed that this group of people might be his saviors. He shouted directly at the man, "Sir, please stay. If you can save us, the money in this car will be yours to use."
Xie Zizhao also looked at the man. For some reason, he felt that the man looked familiar.
The man reined in his horse and stopped, his eyes lingering on Xie Shicheng for a long time. He turned to the people behind him and ordered, "Go help them."
The people behind the man were of different heights, but they had one thing in common: they all had special skills and were mischievous.
A tall and thin man came out, raised his whip and swept it towards the refugee's legs. The refugee fell to the ground and wailed in pain.
He then took credit for it to the man on the horse, "See? I'm awesome!"
The male protagonist sneered and did not respond.
The people behind the man rushed over in order to show off.
The murderous and decisive aura of the group really frightened the refugees. They saw that the Xie family was kind and did not dare to hurt them, so they dared to steal things.
But they seriously doubted that if they stayed here, these people would really kill them. They were only fighting for food, so there was no need to risk their lives.
The refugees retreated one by one, and some of the braver ones grabbed some food and left. Xie Zizhao wanted to chase them, but Xie Shicheng stopped him, saying, "Forget it, don't chase after a desperate enemy."
After he finished speaking, he walked up to the man, bowed, and asked, "I am Xie Shicheng of Yangxia, Chen County. I don't know your name or where you live. I will come to your house to express my gratitude someday."
The man opened his thin lips slightly and said only four words, "Cheng Han Liu Yuan."
Xie Shicheng was stunned at first. The few whips he had just received were completely different from the benevolent love that the people talked about.
But his many years of experience in officialdom have enabled him to remain calm even when faced with a huge crisis.
He smiled at Liu Yuan and said, "I have heard your name from the people. They all say you are a very good person."
Xie Zizhao racked his brains and finally remembered who the man was.
He turned around and shouted at the carriage, "Zhirou, guess who I saw. It's the werewolf. He is now the King of Chenghan."
When Shen Xinran heard the word "Liu Yuan", his heart skipped a beat.
Why is the male protagonist not staying in Chenghan but coming here? I don’t know if she has noticed me in the carriage.
But Xie Zizhao, this stupid teammate, actually shouted his name out loud. For the first time, Shen Xinran felt socially devastated.
She could only sigh inwardly that Xie Zizhao really had no idea what she and Xiao Wenqing had done!
Xie Shicheng noticed something was wrong, and he asked Xie Zizhao, "What's going on? Could it be that we have some connection with King Cheng Han?"
Xie Zizhao was a simpleton. He laughed heartily, "Father, do you still remember the werewolf I gave to my little sister three years ago? It was him."
Even though Xie Shicheng was mentally strong, he was stunned. The fact that King Cheng Han dared to say that he was a descendant of Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, proved that he attached great importance to reputation.
Seeing his own son openly saying that he used to be a werewolf, he wondered if he would get angry and kill people to silence them.
Now they are at a disadvantage because they are outnumbered.
Xie Shicheng could only smile stiffly and said, "Really? That's really a coincidence!"
"What a coincidence!" Xie Zizhao not only didn't feel the atmosphere was wrong, he even walked up to Liu Yuan and patted him on the shoulder. He asked, "By the way, why did you leave three years ago without saying anything?"
Xiao Wenqing's heart was in his throat in the carriage. This third brother was really talking about things that were not related to the topic.
Liu Yuan casually said, "Two servants tied me up in the woods and tried to bury me alive, but I ran away."
Xie Zizhao was shaking with anger and snorted coldly, "Who is so bold as to dare to touch you!"
Liu Yuan glanced at the direction of the carriage and smiled meaningfully, "I don't know about that, and I don't know if the young lady knows."
Xie Zizhao immediately walked to the carriage and asked, "Little sister, do you know who it is?"
Why didn't I realize Xie Zizhao was so stupid before! Shen Xinran wanted to cry. After taking a deep breath, she said softly: "I don't know either."
When Shen Xinran said this, he glanced at Xiao Wenqing in the carriage and saw that her face had turned pale. Nonsense, even if she knew, she could only say she didn't know.
Xie Zizhao walked up to Liu Yuan again and said seriously, "I asked for you, and Zhirou said he didn't know. But don't worry, I will help you investigate this matter when I get back."
A barely perceptible smile flashed across Liu Yuan's face. "That's good that you don't know. I'll have to trouble Brother Zizhao with this matter."
Xie Zizhao nodded and asked, "Where are you planning to go with so many people?"
Liu Yuan pointed ahead and said, "Let's go to Shangqiu to do some business."
Xie Zizhao smiled directly, "We are going back to Chen County, it's on the way, we can go together."
When Shen Xinran heard this, he wanted to rush out and shut Xie Zizhao's mouth.
Liu Yuan glanced at the curtains blowing in the wind and agreed with a smile, "Okay, I'd be remiss to refuse."
…
The group began to journey west, with the Xie family's carriage in front and Liu Yuan and his men following behind.
Xiao Wenqing began to feel anxious, her eyes flickering between her daughter and her husband. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to start.
Shen Xinran noticed Xiao Wenqing's nervousness, she closed her eyes and began to pretend to sleep.
As expected, after Xiao Wenqing saw her fall asleep, he immediately called Xie Shicheng into the carriage, and she told Xie Shicheng everything that happened three years ago.
Xiao Wenqing's words made Xie Shicheng frown tightly, "I wonder if King Cheng Han knows that you are the mastermind behind this."
Xiao Wenqing's expression suddenly tensed. "I chased those two servants to the manor. He probably doesn't know about it."
Xie Shicheng nodded and said, "In that case, let's just keep this matter to ourselves."
Shen Xinran quietly opened her eyes a little. She really wanted to tell the two of them that the male protagonist knew, he knew everything.
But hearing Xiao Wenqing's increasingly rapid heartbeat, Shen Xinran turned over again. She decided not to cause Xiao Wenqing any more trouble.
The carriage was shaking, and Shen Xinran actually fell asleep. When she woke up, she was the only one left in the carriage. Xiao Wenqing had disappeared somewhere.
She lifted the curtain and took a look. It turned out that Xiao Wenqing and Xie Shicheng were riding a horse together. They were talking and laughing, and obviously had forgotten about her, their daughter.
The male protagonist was right next to her carriage. After hearing the noise, he smiled at her and said, "Miss, long time no see."
Shen Xinran glanced up and down at the male protagonist, frowning tightly, "How did you make yourself so dark!"
The hero's features were sharper, his eyes more piercing, but his color was even darker than when he was found.
What has he been doing these past three years? Digging coal? He's the sunny and cheerful boy he used to be!
Liu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he looked at his hands and frowned, "Black? I don't think so!"
In order to keep the plot from collapsing, Shen Xinran strictly adhered to her character setting. She pursed her lips and said disdainfully, "Not only is she dark, she's also extremely ugly."
Looking at the car window that was suddenly closed, Liu Yuan chuckled. The eldest lady was still the same as before, and the words she said were so infuriating.
It made his heart start beating wildly, which made him miss it so much.
Liu Yuan licked his pale lips and stared at the carriage with his eyes fixed on it. His eyes were like he was defending his prey, with a strong possessiveness.
