Chapter 379: Failing to Judge People Will End Up Harming Yourself
Lin Pianran's gaze was cold, cast quietly on the ground, on the corpses piled up like a small mountain.
Then he ordered in a cold voice, "Let's keep moving forward. There must be more men in black ahead. We must not waste any time."
She was a little worried about Han Chaolin's safety.
So, Lin Pianran led the Black Cloud Guards under his command and quickly approached the carriage that Han Chaolin was riding in with brisk steps.
When they got closer, they saw that the front was already in a chaotic and fierce battle, so Lin Pianran and his group quickly joined the battle.
Although those men in black were well-trained and had extraordinary skills, each of them could be considered the best in the martial arts world, and their weapons and equipment were also extremely sophisticated, but in front of Lin Pianran's well-trained Black Cloud Guards and Dark Guards, they still seemed stretched to the limit and difficult to match, and were completely inadequate.
Another half an hour later, the two or three hundred men in black were finally wiped out by the joint efforts of everyone.
The battlefield fell into dead silence.
At this time, the team of secret guards disguised as merchants who were leading the charge in the front killed all the men in black who were besieging them and rushed over.
"Miss, are you alright?"
The secret guards' faces were filled with anxiety and concern, their brows were furrowed, and their eyes revealed deep worry.
Lin Pianran glanced at each of them gently, the gentle light in her eyes was like the spring sun, warm and soft.
"It's okay. Thank you all for your hard work along the way!"
"Everyone will receive a reward. After returning to Beijing, go to Jingyu to claim your reward."
After hearing this, everyone's faces were filled with joy, and all their fatigue was swept away.
The rest of the journey was surprisingly peaceful, and the closer we got to the capital, the safer it became.
All those evil spirits and monsters dared not show up again.
Huo Yuchen even sent another hundred Black Cloud Guards out of the city to welcome them, which frightened those timid rats so much that they all hid themselves and disappeared in an instant.
Lin Pianran killed a total of six to seven hundred men in black along the way, which was considered a great success.
There were basically no major casualties among their group, but there were still quite a few people who suffered some minor injuries.
As night fell, Lin Pianran and his party returned to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion.
Hua Xuewei and Han Yunxi were waiting eagerly in the hall, their brows filled with anxiety.
As soon as Han Chaolin and Lin Pianran stepped into the gate of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, Hua Xuewei got the news and rushed over.
She rushed over and was about to hug her daughter, but Lin Pianran dodged her nimbly.
"Mother, my daughter is very dirty and needs to be washed first."
It was then that Hua Xuewei noticed that there were bloodstains on her daughter's body. Although she had deliberately covered it with a thin cloak, it was still easy to see if you looked closely.
Han Chaolin, who was standing behind Lin Pianran, was ignored. Seeing his mother caring about his sister but not even looking at him, he had no complaints about it. He was mentally prepared and used to it.
Only Han Yunxi spoke a few words gently to her younger brother, and Han Chaolin felt contented that there were still relatives in this family who cared about him.
Seeing that her mother had been ignoring Han Chaolin, Lin Pianran couldn't help but praise him, "Mother, all along the way, thanks to Third Brother's care and protection."
Hua Xuewei patted her son's shoulders twice, smiling, "Don't worry about your third brother. He's been good at martial arts since he was young, and he's smart and resourceful. Mother doesn't worry about him."
"A mother only worries about her delicate, soft, and sweet-smelling daughter."
Although he said he was not worried, he still looked at her several more times with a smile.
After the mother and son chatted and laughed for a while, Lin Pianran and Han Chaolin went back to the yard to wash up.
Hua Xuewei quickly ordered people to prepare a delicious dinner and asked the kitchen to add a few more dishes. She was busy and had a lot of fun.
She walked briskly, her brows were relaxed, and she looked extremely happy.
During dinner, Hua Xuewei heard about the fate of Han Zimo's family. She neither said anything bad nor added insult to injury. She was a noble lady raised in a prominent family and was very well-educated.
She simply reminded her son, "Isn't Zhu Yufang still alive? She's a huge scourge, cruel and ruthless, and has committed all sorts of evil. We must not let her go. She's harmed my two daughters and my eldest son, and she's been heavily involved in all of this."
Han Chaolin comforted her, "Don't worry, mother! We will clean up everything in the next few days and won't let them escape. But I don't know where Han Chaoqing is hiding, and we haven't found any trace of him yet."
Lin Pianran looked thoughtful.
"Perhaps he doesn't dare to return to the capital for the time being, fearing that he would be caught and killed without a burial place..."
"He dared not show up and hid in the mountains, hoping to avoid the limelight for a while before coming out again! Perhaps this is the only possibility that can explain his current situation where no one has seen him alive or dead."
Han Chaolin agreed, "Indeed, this is the only possibility. Otherwise, he would have been caught by our people or the government long ago."
Speaking of the old general, Han Chaolin said, "Mother, my sister and I will go and pick him up later! He must have had a hard time these years."
Given the fake old general's vicious and selfish nature, it would be strange if he could take good care of him.
Hua Xuewei sighed, "Forget it, I'll go with you! Yun Xi, don't go. You're still pregnant, so just stay in the mansion!"
Han Yunxi agreed with a smile.
As soon as they finished dinner, the mother and her children set out before curfew.
The yard where the old general was imprisoned was not very far away, just a little remote.
Perhaps no one could have imagined that the old general would be replaced by someone, let alone that he was imprisoned in the capital.
Everything was beyond everyone's expectations.
After rushing into the courtyard, the secret guards brought by Lin Pianran were the first to subdue all the servants in the courtyard.
When I pushed open a tightly closed door, I saw an old man sitting on a chair against the wall in the dark and damp environment.
That face was very similar to the fake old general.
But the fake old general was a little fatter and looked much more prosperous, with an appearance of being pampered.
The old man was much thinner and wore coarse cloth clothes that had turned white from being washed.
He looked haggard and was writing furiously at his desk. When he heard the voice, he didn't even raise his head.
Before coming here, I heard from the servants who took care of me that after the old general was imprisoned, he could not go out and could not do anything, so he could only spend his time reading.
In recent years, he has been writing a book on military strategy based on his experience of beating people with sticks when he was young.
I was already old and in poor health, and I also neglected sleep and food to write the book without stopping.
He looked increasingly thin and haggard.
