When Pei Yu found Shen Jingyuan, his hands were shaking. His body was covered in blood and flesh, and it was obvious that he had been tortured.
Moreover, he had heard from Ali that his elder brother was born with supernatural powers. These people must have used some dirty tricks to capture him, otherwise the iron chains would not have been able to trap him.
Tianqing beside him quickly carried the man on his back and said, "Master, let's go first."
"good."
"An Yi, you stay behind to clean up the mess. Keep quiet and remember to leave some people alive."
"yes."
Among the attackers this time, one was the third prince of Tatar, who was extremely useful, so Pei Yu warned him. However, based on what he had done, he would not survive for long.
…
Chen Li came to the front yard, where her parents lived. When she arrived, Shen Changshan was chopping firewood, Lin Cuicui and Xu Taohua were embroidering, and Shen Mochi was playing with toys nearby.
It was a very harmonious scene, but it reminded Chen Li of her elder brother whose life or death was uncertain, but her expression was the same as usual, with no difference.
"Father, mother, sister-in-law."
"Ali is back!"
"Well, I stayed in the store for a while longer and came back a little late."
Lin Cuicui looked up at her. There was clearly no difference from usual, but she inexplicably felt something was wrong.
"Ali, did something happen in the store today?"
Chen Li nodded. She didn't expect her mother to be so sensitive. Looking at the three people who became nervous in an instant, she gave them a soothing smile.
"It's not a big deal. Shopkeeper Yang can handle it. Don't worry."
"That's good."
Chen Li spoke to them for a few more words before she told them her purpose.
"Oh, by the way, Dad and Mom, Pei Yu has something going on and wants me to go to the capital."
"Going to Beijing?"
The three asked in unison, with surprise on their faces.
Shen Li nodded, "Well, it's not a dangerous thing, Dad and Mom don't have to worry."
"The capital is too far away. Your parents are worried if you go alone."
"I know, mother. If Fourth Brother wasn't about to take the provincial examination, I would have taken you with me."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at her. Was Ali trying to change the subject?
"A-Li, I've been having nightmares these past two days. Have you received any letter from Master Pei? Is your elder brother..."
Xu Taohua came back to her senses from her trance and asked her doubts. She had originally planned to ask again in two days, but she didn't expect that Ali was leaving again.
Chen Li's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't show it on her face. It seemed that her sister-in-law had noticed something.
"No, don't think too much, sister-in-law. Didn't I tell you that dreams are the opposite of reality? I'll write a letter to Yu someday to ask about my brother's situation."
Lin Cuicui also put down the embroidery in her hand and took Xu Taohua's hand, "Yes, Taohua, don't worry."
"good."
After hearing what Chen Li and her mother-in-law said, she finally let go of her worries.
Chen Li's expression didn't change at all throughout the whole process. Instead, when she heard Xu Taohua ask that question, she showed a hint of surprise on her face, successfully fooling Chen Changshan and Lin Cuicui.
"Mom and Dad, this is urgent. I have to leave tomorrow."
Lin Cuicui pulled her and said, "You just came back, don't you want to stay at home for a few more days?"
"It's okay, Mom. I'm not the kind of person who would mistreat myself. You and Dad, just put your hearts at ease."
"well!"
Lin Cuicui sighed heavily. Her daughter was a man of her word. She was a little worried about her and Pei Yu's married life.
Both of them have strong personalities, but after marriage, one of them has to give in, and she naturally doesn't want the person who gives in to be her daughter.
"Mom is going to cook for you. I don't know how long it will take for her to come back."
"Okay, I'll help you. As soon as the problem is resolved, I'll be back soon. Mom, just relax."
In the evening, Lin Cuicui prepared four dishes and a soup. After the family finished eating, Chen Li stayed with them for a while and was urged by Lin Cuicui to go back and rest.
"An San."
Back in the room, Chen Li called An San out. It was better to understand the situation before going to a place like the capital, which was full of powerful people, to avoid being tricked.
"girl."
"I'm going to the capital tomorrow. Can you tell me what enemies your master has in the capital?"
"Yes, the master's enemies are..."
After listening to what he said, Chen Li couldn't help but pinched her brows. As expected, he was Pei Yu, and his ability to attract hatred was first-class.
"Miss, I will go to the capital with you."
When Miss Shen went to Yizhou before, he didn't follow her, hoping that his master wouldn't know. Now she is going to the capital, he has to follow her. If the prince finds out, he will definitely have to stay in the water dungeon for a while.
Thinking of the various feelings in the dungeon, my heart was pounding and I felt a sense of rejection.
"you……"
She planned to let An San stay here. After all, she would be in the capital for quite some time and was not very confident about her family. But she really needed someone who knew the capital well.
"If you are worried about your family, I can send a few people to protect them."
"Okay, then you can come with me tomorrow."
"yes."
After washing up, Chen Li lay down directly on the bed. She didn't practice martial arts this time. She hadn't had a good rest for so long since she was out, so she decided to give herself a day off tonight.
The next morning, I walked out of the room carrying the luggage I brought back from Yizhou, went to the front yard to have breakfast with my parents, and then set off after breakfast.
