Chapter 67: Escape Yu
Jianning realized that he had been rude, so he knelt down and apologized.
"Madam, please forgive me!" He was really too shocked. What Shu Wan said and did today was beyond his understanding.
"Get up!" Shu Wan said lightly.
Yu Jianning stood up, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. He wanted to find Shu Wan and ask her everything immediately, but he didn't know where to start.
"Are your injuries okay?" Shu Wan asked again.
"It's okay. It's okay." Yu Jianning shook his head. Why did Shu Wan suddenly ask about his injury?
"Okay, then you go back!" Shu Wan said again.
Yu Jianning was stunned.
That's it? Asking him if he was seriously injured was just to tell him to go back and rest?
"City Lord Rongchen died unexpectedly. As his right-hand man, Yu Jianning was so grief-stricken that he vomited blood and fell into a coma. In addition, he was accidentally poisoned, and his life or death is uncertain." Shu Wan spoke slowly, word by word, "General Yu, can you do it?" She asked, glancing sideways.
"What do you mean?" Yu Jianning was confused by her. He didn't know what she meant by this and asked with a frown.
"Rong Chen is still alive." Shu Wan spoke concisely.
Yu Jianning quickly realized what she meant.
"You mean that I should pretend to be sick and hide, and then secretly go to rescue the city lord?" Yu Jianning was really excited, but soon he reacted to a question, "How do you know Rong Chen is still..." Rong Chen's "body" was brought back by him personally, it couldn't be fake, he really couldn't understand why Shu Wan was so sure that Rong Chen was still alive.
"Now that you have figured it out, go back and prepare. Wait for me outside the city. Remember, don't let any news leak out." Shu Wan patiently reminded, "As for why Rong Chen is still alive, do you think I'm a god?" She looked at Yu Jianning, curled the corners of her mouth with a smile, and then left.
Yu Jianning stood there, his mind in a mess.
Then he didn't know why, but he just wanted to believe Shu Wan once
.
What if what she said was true!
It was a long time after Shu Wan left that he woke up from his thoughts, and then he left the City Lord's Mansion step by step.
Seeing the City Lord's Mansion's steward ordering the servants to carry Rong Chen's coffin to the mourning hall, he felt extremely complicated.
He walked out of the City Lord's Mansion and walked aimlessly on the street.
He recalled what Shu Wan did today, especially the scene of interrogating people in the torture chamber. He recalled it countless times and found no flaws. Why was Shu Wan so sure?
Also, she asked him to pretend to be sick and not see anyone, and sneak out to wait for her, but what was her excuse? Was she pretending to be sick like him?
Where is Rong Chen? Why did Shu Wan insist on going out with him? Countless questions lingered in his mind, unable to be shaken off.
When he came to his senses, he was almost at the gate of Yu Mansion.
But he hadn't figured out how to pretend to be sick. If he continued to claim to be sick after entering, it would not be credible. If someone really wanted to investigate, he would be exposed.
So, why not just let myself faint in front of everyone? This way, everyone will know about it and it will serve as a cover-up.
Yu Jianning is not being too conspiratorial. If what Shu Wan said is true, then one can imagine what kind of dangers they will encounter after they go out.
After realizing this, Yu Jianning suddenly clenched his palms. The next moment, his face turned pale without a trace of blood. Then, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell down.
As he fell, the people around him subconsciously moved away.
…
He was aware of the force he had used, so he woke up within an hour.
"Brother..." Yu An Ning and Yu Ding Ning cried with red eyes, "We were so worried about you waking up." Although Yu An Ning had bad intentions, his feelings for Jian Ning were sincere.
"I'm fine." He propped himself up and sat up. "Where's mom?" he asked again.
"Mother cried so hard when she heard that you fainted. You feel better now, so I went out to make medicine for you." Yu Dingning answered him.
"Is our doctor here?" Yu Jianning asked again.
"Yes, yes, I've gone out to get some prescription. Brother, are you still feeling unwell? I'll call him over right away." Yu An Ning replied quickly.
"I'm not feeling unwell anywhere, these are just some minor injuries. I just have two questions to ask him. Please call him in!" Yu Jianning's tone was three points softer than usual, perhaps because he was weak.
"Okay, brother, wait, I'll be there right away." Yu An Ning thought that he just didn't want to make them worry, but his condition was still serious, so she ran out quickly. The sooner her brother was diagnosed and treated, the sooner he would recover.
The court doctor came in soon, and Yu Jianning only spoke to Fu Fu after he sent Yu An Ning and her sister away.
"Mr. Mu, you followed my father before." Yu Jianning did not say his purpose first, "So, I trust you." He looked at the court physician Mr. Mu and said.
"Yes, young general, I have followed the old general for more than twenty years. After he died in the battle, I have followed you, young general!" Old Mu looked to be at least fifty years old. Upon hearing this, he answered respectfully and piously.
"So, I have a big favor to do next, and I need Mr. Mu's help!" Mr. Mu is one of the few people Yu Jianning absolutely trusts.
"Please speak, young general. I will help you with all my heart!" Old Mu was still very respectful.
So, Yu Jianning repeated to him what happened today and the plan to secretly search for Rong Chen.
"Mr. Mu, this matter is of great importance. You must help me keep it secret. No one can find out, including my mother and sisters!" The more people who know, the more dangerous it is.
"Yes!" After thinking for a long time, Mu Lao finally responded, "Young General, I dare to ask, why are you so sure that the city lord is still here?" He found it a little unbelievable.
"It's my intuition!" Yu Jianning didn't tell anyone about Shu Wan. "Besides, I think that Rong Chen can't die so easily. That's too unlike the Rong Chen I know." He pursed his lips. If Rong Chen really died, who would he fight with in the future? He worked so hard to improve his martial arts just to defeat Rong Chen one day. If everything he did was meaningless in the future, then what's the point of practicing martial arts ?
"Okay, I will do my best to help the young general keep it a secret from everyone, but young general, I hope you can go and come back soon. Truth will come to light sooner or later, and this matter won't be kept secret for long!" Old Mu warned him seriously.
"Thank you, Mr. Mu. How long can you keep it secret?" Yu Jianning had to grasp this information first so that he could make a plan.
"At most... three months!" Mr. Mu was a little embarrassed. Three months was his limit. If it was longer, he would not be able to keep it secret.
"Enough." This has exceeded Yu Jianning's expectations. Three months should be enough. He had previously thought that he could only keep it secret for two months at most.
"I need to find someone with a similar body shape to you, young general!" After Yu Jianning left, I had to find someone to impersonate him, otherwise, there would be nothing I could pretend to be.
"No problem!" Yu Jianning agreed without thinking. He had thought about this before.
After the two finished their discussion, Yu Jianning continued to lie down and pretend to be sick. Mr. Mu put on a serious expression and opened the door.
"Mr. Mu, what happened to my brother? Is he okay?" Yu An Ning was the first to ask anxiously.
After she asked this question, she saw clearly that Mr. Mu had covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief. Before she could open her mouth to ask what was going on, Mr. Mu spoke hurriedly first.
"Miss An Ning, Miss Ding Ning, something bad has happened." Old Mu's voice was filled with anxiety. "The young general has been infected with the virus. I was careless before and didn't even detect it. I have had close contact with you before, and there is a great possibility that I will be infected. You should go back quickly and burn all the clothes you are wearing today. I will get the prescription right away and boil a bowl of medicine for you to drink, just in case!" This was what Yu Jianning had taught him before. If it was an ordinary poison, Yu's mother and the others might not be able to stop him. If they found out that Yu Jianning was not there, it would be bad news. It would be better to find a reason for them not to get close to him from the beginning. Anyway, the purpose of Yu Jianning's going to Songyang County this time was to spread the virus in Beishuo.
"Ah!" Yu Anning and Yu Dingning were so frightened that their faces turned pale. First, they felt a chill down their spines and thought to themselves that it was all over. Once infected, people would die! Then they realized belatedly that they were worried about Yu Jianning, "How is my brother? Is he okay? Mr. Mu, you must save him. Wasn't he fine before? Why did it suddenly!" Yu Anning's eyes were red.
"In reply to Miss An Ning, this virus has an incubation period, which is generally about seven days. Sometimes it is even faster and can be diagnosed in two to three days. I ignored it because I didn't think about it before. The young general just mentioned whether it was true to go to Songyang County to find out the plague. I did some research, but I didn't expect that he had been infected!" Old Mu still answered as he had thought of before.
"Then since we have come into contact with Big Brother, will we also be infected with the plague?"
"Nothing is absolute!" Mr. Mu's answer was almost the same as no answer at all, it was too official.
Yu Anning and the others might get sick, or they might be fine.
"My two ladies, the most important thing now is to keep you both safe and sound. So, please go back immediately and don't contact anyone casually. As for the young general, I will do my best to treat him." Old Mu said seriously.
Yu Anning and Yu Dingning ran back as fast as they could to take off their clothes, and took a shower at the same time, simply thinking that this would prevent them from contracting the disease, if the epidemic was real.
Not long after, the news that Yu Jianning had contracted the epidemic spread throughout the mansion. The servants who had come into contact with him today were howling in agony, as if they were going to die in the next second.
Those who had not had any contact with them were extremely pleased, and then kept their distance from many people in the mansion, avoiding them as if they were the plague!
After Yu's mother learned that Yu Jianning was infected with the virus, she almost cried to death. She refused to listen to any advice and insisted on going in to stay with Yu Jianning and take care of him.
It took a lot of effort for Mr. Mu to stop her.
Old Mu casually prescribed a medicinal meal and gave it to everyone in the mansion to drink, which served as a reassurance to them.
Especially after no one showed any signs of illness for four or five days, they felt that everything was fine. However, as for Yu Jianning, Mr. Mu still kept a very strict control. Apart from him, no one was allowed to enter. This is a story for later, so let's not talk about it for now.
As for Yu Jianning, after nightfall, he quietly left the Yu Mansion wearing a neat black shorts.
The subordinate who was lying on the bed and had a similar body shape to him had his face covered with terrible abscesses by Old Mu. He stood there as a sign of infection to prevent anyone from accidentally breaking in. This move was intended to deter the other party and also to conceal Yu Jianning's identity, killing two birds with one stone.
When he left Yu's house, in order to avoid any further trouble, Yu Jianning prepared to sneak out of the city overnight. But he suddenly thought of Shu Wan. He wanted to see if Shu Wan had found a way to escape. Moreover, he wanted to send her the evidence he had found about the Beishuo conspiracy. Although it might be false, it might be useful!
So he changed direction and headed towards the City Lord's Mansion.
The news of Rong Chen's death spread throughout the streets and alleys within a day. The City Lord's Mansion had also taken down the red lanterns and replaced them with white lanterns, hung with white silk, and the entire mansion was plunged into an infinite sorrow.
I don’t know if it’s because of Rong Chen’s death, but the guards in the mansion tonight are more lax than usual. With Yu Jianning’s body, he can still sneak in.
He saw Shu Wan without much effort. After seeing him, Shu Wan seemed to have expected it and was not surprised at all.
"You came faster than I thought!" She thought that Yu Jianning would take at least a few hours to come.
Hearing her words that were considered as praise for him, Yu Jianning felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.
"How do you know that I would come to you first instead of leaving the city directly?" Didn't they agree that he would go out of the city to wait for her after he got away?
"Didn't I tell you? I'm a god!" Shu Wan didn't intend to tell the truth, "Give me the thing!" Without saying anything more, she stretched out her hand directly to Yu Jianning.
This time, Yu Jianning was really confused. Her words seemed to have magic. He unconsciously handed all the evidence he found to Shu Wan. By the time he reacted, it was too late.
He looked at Shu Wan as if he had eaten a fly, his expression was indescribable!
Shu Wan had already opened the envelope he handed over and poured out the contents. It was a small broken token with the Beishuo flame totem clearly engraved on the back.
, there is also a secret letter with the seal of the King of Beishuo, and there is no need to explain the content.
"I'll take care of it, General Yu. Please wait for me outside the city!" Shu Wan ordered them to leave.
"Have you thought of a way to get out of this?"
Guess how Shu Wan will get out of this situation.
