Chapter 141 The Fool's Bride for Good Luck 16
Xie Rong looked at his contemptuous appearance, and jealousy turned into a poisonous insect, crawling from his heart into his limbs and bones.
Why? Why do others become stepping stones whenever they encounter him? Why is his life so good?
Xie Rong's eyes were filled with hatred, but he lowered his gaze and curled the corners of his lips, "Then take me to the military region to see him."
Lu Chuan accidentally crushed the teacup in his hand and said calmly, "Martial law is in effect in the military region; family members are not allowed to enter."
Xie Rong crossed her legs, her shoe tips sticking up, and rubbed against the man's military boots.
Lu Chuan said in a hoarse voice, "It really won't work."
Xie Rong smiled, reached out and pinched his ear, roughly pulling it in front of him. "Really?"
Lu Chuan covered his ears, "Actually, it's not impossible."
Late at night, Xie Rong followed the man out of the Lu residence, got into a military vehicle, and left the city without a sound.
It was a bit chilly at night. Xie Rong sat in the back seat, a man's coat draped over his shoulders, and said lazily, "You sneak out like this every night in the middle of the night, don't you?"
Lu Chuan: "Well, it wasn't exactly smooth, I just moved a little softer because I was afraid of disturbing you."
The soldier driving the car glanced in the rearview mirror, unable to hide his excitement.
So their general is actually afraid of his wife!
The car was parked in front of an abandoned mansion in the wilderness.
Xie Rong, wearing high heels, realized that she couldn't avoid the mud after the rain no matter what she did.
Lu Chuan picked him up and strode over to him.
This abandoned mansion was just a cover; the military base was completely hidden underground.
It was said that a foreign convoy carrying medical equipment and medicine would depart from the concession in three days, pass through this area, and head to the battlefield. Therefore, Lu Chuan had already ordered tunnels to be dug, just to wait for them to come to him.
Only after entering the secret passage and seeing the gradually widening space and light did Lu Chuan put the person down.
“Madam, if you want to see General Shen, please come with me,” a soldier said, his face flushed. “General Lu is busy processing telegrams from the front lines today and can’t leave for the time being.”
Xie Rong smiled and said, "Okay, thank you."
The soldier's face turned even redder.
The perfume my wife is wearing smells so wonderful.
Xie Rong met the person in a dug-out lounge.
Shen Gaoyang was still lying in bed, his face pale, but the penetrating wound in his waist and abdomen had been bandaged.
"When will he wake up?" Xie Rong asked casually.
“The doctor said it might be tomorrow,” the soldier replied.
Xie Rong sat down by the window, raised her hand to stroke the bandage on the man's abdomen, and suddenly pressed down hard with her fingertips.
A muffled groan was heard, and Shen Gaoyang's chest heaved violently. A hoarse voice came from above, "Sister-in-law, are you trying to kill me?"
Xie Rong's pale face was icy cold. "Did you already know he was pretending to be stupid?"
Shen Gaoyang chuckled softly: "Didn't my cousin-in-law already know?"
"He's arrogant and disrespectful to everyone in the military region, and he acts crazy and stupid at home. I've disliked him for a long time!"
Xie Rong pressed the button again.
Shen Gaoyang hissed, "Sister-in-law, I came here with the sincere intention of having an affair with you."
Xie Rong glanced at him, then used a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead. If the sweat hadn't been forced out by him, it would have been quite thoughtful. "If you can crush him, then we'll talk."
After saying that, Xie Rong turned and left.
The soldier then took him back to find Lu Chuan.
The table lamp on the long table flickered, illuminating the telegram beside the man.
Xie Rong glanced at it several times, but couldn't understand it.
“It’s a rare occasion for you to come here, I thought you’d stay a while,” Lu Chuan looked up as he walked over, and very naturally put his arm around him and placed him on his lap.
"Why do you want to look for so long?" Xie Rong blinked innocently. "I'm looking for a man, and there are plenty of them in Lizhou."
The mere fact that they want to seize the Lu family's assets is enough to lure countless people into their trap.
Except for that coward Zhao Tongguang.
"Want to go back?" Lu Chuan asked.
Xie Rong yawned, rubbed his eyes, and before he could speak, a loud bang suddenly exploded, and the sky above him seemed to shake, with countless grains of sand falling down.
Lu Chuan's expression changed, and he rolled to the side with the person in his arms.
The original spot has been blasted into a deep crater.
The shells were still raining down on the small mansion above their heads as if they were free.
For a moment, I couldn't hear anything except a sharp buzzing.
Even if Xie Rong didn't understand military affairs, he would still have only one thought in mind in this situation.
There is a traitor.
Then he fainted.
This thing is even more powerful than the silver pistol. It would be great if it could be brought back to the cultivation world as well.
"Xie Rong? Xie Rong!"
...
"Extra number—extra number—!"
"The secret base outside Lizhou City has been bombarded by foreigners, and their troops are approaching Lizhou!"
The newspaper boy shouted at the top of his lungs, waving the freshly printed newspaper as he ran through the street, quickly attracting a crowd of passersby.
"Foreigners have invaded?! Weren't the foreigners attacking Mo City? Why are they bypassing Mo City and attacking Lizhou instead?!"
Some people were so startled by the news that they didn't even bother to get their change. They immediately grabbed a newspaper and unfolded it, and everyone crowded around to take a look.
"No wonder I heard such loud cannon fire last night, the foreigners really have attacked!"
"So who is now in charge of Lizhou? With General Lu dead, who else can drive those foreigners back?"
"Look, it's in the newspaper! General Lu has been stationed at Lizhou and is fully prepared to fight the enemy!"
"Which general?"
"What else could it be? It must be that Young Master Lu's mental illness has been cured! Everyone can rest assured that Lizhou is saved!"
"No, no, I'll go back and pack my things right now. Let's run!"
Panic gripped the city of Lizhou.
Xie Rong woke up three days later.
"Is Madam awake?"
Xie Rong opened his eyes wide, and Zhao Tongguang was guarding him by the bedside.
[Host, please note that the protagonist's current pain level is 95.]
"The general is currently at the front lines. He said he'll be back tonight to have dinner with his wife." Zhao Tongguang still had that wooden face.
Xie Rong glanced at the sky outside the window.
It's still a long time before nightfall.
"What time is it now?"
“It’s lunchtime. What would you like to eat, Madam? I’ll have the kitchen prepare it,” Zhao Tongguang said.
Xie Rong thought for a moment and said, "I want to eat shrimp."
Zhao Tongguang nodded, turned around, and left the house.
Xie Rong couldn't stay in bed any longer. He took out a silver pistol from under his pillow, strapped it to his inner thigh, and left the room.
The maid sweeping the courtyard saw him and bowed, greeting him, "Good afternoon, Madam."
Xie Rong stared at the yellowing fallen leaves on the ground and paused, "It's autumn."
"Yes, once autumn is fully here, we'll have oranges to eat," the maid said happily.
The trees in the yard were all shedding their leaves, except for the orange tree, which was bearing unripe fruit.
Xie Rong rubbed his temples, the lingering pain from the explosions still present in his forehead, and went back inside.
After lunch, Xie Rong went back to sleep.
As dusk approached, he woke up. Lu Chuan sat by the bedside watching him, his body reeking of medicinal wine and blood. Suddenly, he said, "Want to go to a photo studio? You'll look beautiful in pictures."
