Chapter 93: Langjiang Letter, Imprisoned
As Shang Yuwan walked into the room, he saw a letter on the table and a dagger inlaid with green agate lying quietly next to it.
Why is the dagger she gave to Twelve here? !
The letter was unsigned, and Shang Yuwan felt something was wrong, so he opened it immediately.
Shang Twelve has arrived at Langjiang, waiting for Lord Shang to go alone.
Shang Yuwan's eyes suddenly widened.
Langjiang, Twelve... The people of Langjiang captured Twelve?!
On the other side, Xiao Qingxu also saw the unsigned letter on the desk.
【Lu Heying is in Yinxian Temple.】
"Someone! Go get Ji Suxian and the others!"
Xiao Qingxu's heart skipped a beat and he immediately took the letter and went out. Turning around, he saw Shang Yuwan walking towards him quickly.
"You, you have it too?"
There was a rare look of panic on Shang Yuwan's face. Coincidentally, Ji Suxian and Xiao Qinggu rushed over immediately after hearing the news about the guest.
Xiao Qinggu saw that something was wrong and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Ji Suxian saw that Shang Yuwan’s face was pale and he was sweating a few drops of cold sweat. He hurried forward and took the letter in his hand to take a look.
"How dare you touch anyone from Baijialou!"
Ji Suxian cursed angrily and immediately thought of Lu Heying, "Master, where is my senior brother?"
Xiao Qingxu glanced at Shang Yuwan worriedly, then turned to look at Ji Suxian, "He was taken to Yinxian Temple."
Xiao Qinggu was startled, "Yinxian Temple?"
That temple is in Longcheng! Longcheng is stuck between Yuecheng and Jingdu, completely opposite to Langjiang. Moreover, Yinxian Temple had been in ruins for years. It was deep in the mountains, so just going into the mountains to find it would take a lot of effort.
Ji Suxian gritted his teeth. The people of Langjiang were really calculating!
Shang Yuwan had no time to distract herself and think about how to save Lu Heying. Her fingertips kept trembling as she tried her best to calm her mind.
"You go rescue Lu Heying. Remember to bring Baili Pu and Yuan Ji with you. Be careful if Qu Qiren attacks them secretly. I will go to Langjiang Kingdom alone."
Yue Zhu stood aside and watched silently. It was the first time he saw such a panicked expression on this girl's face.
Xiao Qingxu was about to speak when Shang Yuwan looked straight at him.
"You know I can't afford the gamble."
Xiao Qingxu was speechless, but Ji Suxian disagreed. She quickly grabbed Shang Yuwan who was about to take a step forward.
"No! Those guys are so cunning, we can't let you go alone!"
Xiao Qinggu also reached out and grabbed Shang Yuwan's tightly tied wristband, refusing to let go. "You should at least bring five people with you! Bai Xiaoye, Ju Gongcheng, or Cheng Yishui will do!"
Shang Yuwan took a deep breath, turned his head, and his red eyes startled the two men.
She tried not to make her eyes look too scary, "Let go."
Shang Yuwan's pupils trembled slightly, and the huge fear deep in his heart almost crushed his internal organs. His expression was ferocious, like an evil ghost crawling out from the underworld.
"I say it again, let go!"
Xiao Qinggu's grip gradually loosened, but Ji Suxian didn't let go at all.
If she lets him go, what if he dies in Langjiang? What will happen to her brother Xiao?!
Being able to avoid the eyes and ears of the guests and put the letter into the rooms of Xiao Qingxu and Shang Yuwan silently, this is definitely not something that Xiao Tong and Xiao Qingji can do. The person who can do this must be a big shot in Langjiang!
Ji Suxian said anxiously: "If you go alone, you will die!"
Shang Yuwan turned sideways and looked at Xiao Qingxu, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Let me go."
"......" Xiao Qingxu clenched his fist, his fingertips pinching into his palm, "...let her go."
Ji Suxian was shocked, "Owner?!"
Does this guy know what he's talking about?!
Yue Zhu stepped forward and said, "How about I go with Master Shang?"
"I will protect myself well. Commander Yue, don't worry about me." Shang Yuwan's face darkened, his eyes fierce. "Commander Yue, it would be better for you to stay and protect the princess and the censor."
She couldn't pretend to be polite to Yuezhu at this time.
Yue Zhu was silent for a moment, then asked, "Who are you going to save?"
"Who to save? Of course, we need to save the people from Baijialou. Why? Do we still need to report to Commander Yue?"
Ji Suxian was also very rude to Yue Zhu. Even though he had helped her in Luzhou City before, she still hated this man.
Her sister-in-law was killed by him in her previous life, so how could she be nice to Yue Zhu?
Yue Zhu knew that he was being disliked and stopped talking.
Xiao Qinggu also knew that Yue Zhu had killed her sister-in-law. Although she had followed the imperial order, she did not like him and did not say a word to help him.
Ji Suxian knew that she couldn't keep Shang Yuwan, so she took out a bunch of poisons and life-saving medicines from the medicine box and gave them to her.
"These are life-saving pills. I'll give you two, no, three! Be extremely careful!"
Shang Yuwan thanked Ji Suxian, turned around and took a few quick steps, then suddenly turned around and ran straight towards Xiao Qingxu.
She was so strong and fast that before Xiao Qingxu could react he was hit and almost fell down.
"Wait until I come back."
The peach blossoms on the branches were blown off by the wind, swirling and falling into the pond, creating ripples.
Xiao Qinggu's eyes widened, but Ji Suxian noticed something was wrong and her heart trembled.
Shang Yuwan had never shown such emotion towards Brother Xiao before, could it be that she...?!
Xiao Qingxu was at a loss and was silent for a while before he came to his senses: "What?"
Shang Yuwan buried her face in his chest, her face aching from the pain from the bones. She clutched Xiao Qingxu's clothes on his back with both hands, her voice sounding quite gritted, with a hint of sob hidden in it.
"Wait until I come back—I'll settle the score with you!"
"......" Xiao Qingxu's hands froze in mid-air, not daring to hug back, "...Yeah. I'll be fine."
"You have to be well too and come back alive."
Xiao Qingxu said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "...When everything is settled, I will tell you who I am. Okay?"
Shang Yuwan did not respond to Xiao Qingxu's words. She let go and ran, riding her horse straight to the city gate.
"Lou, the owner, she..."
Xiao Qingxu knew what Ji Suxian wanted to ask, so he gave her a look to calm her down temporarily, and then immediately ordered everyone to take their belongings and set off to Yinxian Temple to rescue Lu Heying.
He also added a few more guests to guard Xiaoman and Mingshu. Perhaps the people of Langjiang separated Shang Yuwan from them just for these two people.
Xiaoman probably doesn’t know anything, but Mingshu must be the biggest breakthrough.
A guest came quickly to report: "Your Highness, the owner of the building, the censor is here."
Xiao Qinggu hurriedly invited her in. As soon as Bailipu saw her, she asked where Shang Yuwan had gone.
"Yuan Ji got some news and told me to come find you. But she ran off by herself and I don't know where she went. I think she went to look for that girl. Why isn't she here?"
Bailipu only called Yuan Jiheng'er in private, and always called her by her real name in front of others.
"She has something to do, so she left first."
Xiao Qinggu's mind raced as he said, "Your Excellency, we have to set off now. We have a friend imprisoned, and we need to rescue him quickly."
Lang Jiang had dismissed Shang Yuwan, presumably because he knew she was their brain trust. Qu Qi was waiting in the dark, wondering if he had taken a liking to Bailipu or something about him. It would be safer for him to follow them.
Baili Pu also realized the urgency of the situation, but he was unwilling to abandon Yuan Ji. "What about my disciple? He also holds an official position in the court."
Xiao Qingxu said, "Master Shang won't let him follow. He will be back soon. Don't worry, Master."
Only then did Bailipu notice this young man who was as thin as his tall frame.
This person went to his house this morning and didn't say a word except for bowing and greeting. Bailipu himself didn't notice it, but now looking at him carefully - he looks familiar.
But Bailipu didn't have time to ask Xiao Qingxu any questions, and Xiao Qinggu didn't have the time to entertain him. Everyone was busy packing their things and rushing to Yinxian Temple to rescue people.
On the other side, Shang Yuwan's horse was only half a street away from the city gate. At this moment, Yuan Ji suddenly appeared from the side.
Just as the horse's hoof was about to step on Yuan Ji's face, Shang Yuwan pulled the reins with lightning speed to prevent the tragedy from happening.
“Get out of the way!”
Yuan Ji stood there without moving an inch.
"I know everything. How can you go to Langjiang alone?! I'll go with you! I can help! Trust me!"
