Rong Zhen walked in front of her and had someone whip her again to wake her up. Kang Ke's skin was torn and there was not a single good spot on her body. Kang Ke's tendons in her hands and feet were all broken and her martial arts skills were all gone. She raised her bloodless face and looked at him, gritting her teeth and saying, "If you have the guts, kill me with one blow. A quick blow would be better than anything else."

Kang Keren gave a sinister smile, and Rong Zhen ordered the guards around him to retreat. Each other's breathing could be heard throughout the empty dungeon.

"I won't kill you like this, and I won't let you off easily. Before you tell me the whereabouts of Yunru and Shu'er, you must live well in this world."

Rong Zhen put his hands behind his back, his face full of coldness, his dark pupils staring at her deeply, Kang Keren smiled bitterly, tears flashing in her eyes, and said to him: "You tortured me just to find out the whereabouts of the two of them, well, I will never tell you.

I just want to see that you can't find them. Anyway, I'm already a useless person, you can kill me or chop me up as you like."

Kang Keren closed her eyes in despair, Rong Zhen clenched his fists tightly, and at the same time, Gu Yunru held Shu'er in his arms and went up the mountain.

Shu'er kept coughing and crying, and her face was covered with dense red rashes. She knew that Shu'er's strange disease had started to flare up again. This was an extremely rare urticaria that required picking special herbs, otherwise Gu Yunru would not have taken her up the mountain.

If she were sent back to the capital now, Shu'er would be beyond cure. She had to find herbs quickly. Shu'er was already three years old and was a lively child, but she was still a babbler and did not understand many things.

"Shu'er. Hold on a little longer. Nothing will happen." Gu Yunru pursed her thin lips. Sweat was already dripping down her forehead. The scars on her face had already formed scars. She deliberately wrapped her entire face to disguise it, not wanting to scare Shu'er. When it got dark, she found an uninhabited thatched hut and put Shu'er on the bed.

She hurried to the mountain to look for this special herb. After working hard for most of the day, the sky began to turn pale. It was already dawn. She picked the fruits of victory and prepared to return to the hut, but found that Shu'er, who was lying on the bed, had disappeared.

She saw the door open, as if it was opened by something. Could someone be on the mountain? She saw the footprints on the ground, which were obviously from a wolf. She suddenly realized something and ran out like crazy, shouting Shu'er's name, but there was no response.

She saw a longevity lock dropped on the road. When she picked it up, she found that there were bloodstains on it. Gu Yunru's body went limp and she collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face.

Because Shu'er was lost and most likely taken away by a wild wolf, Gu Yunru didn't have the face to go back to see Tingya. She couldn't bear to go back with such a disfigured face, so she stayed in the mountains.

Ten days passed, and Rong Zhen led troops of all sizes to search the entire city, including areas outside the woods, including Yangzhou, Cangzhou and other places, but did not find any trace of Gu Yunru. It was as if the whole person had disappeared out of thin air, including Shu'er.

That day, Rong Zhen led his army and horses but still failed to find the two. He returned to Ruyi Inn with a lonely and tired look on his face. Tingya put a few steamed buns on the table and looked at the exhausted Rong Zhen and said, "You should take a rest first. It's my turn with Ziqiao to go out and look for them.

Troops have been dispatched from all over Cangzhou, but they have not been found alive or dead. I believe they will be fine." Ting Ya looked at Rong Zhen. The two of them were in the same state of mind, both of them had lost their loved ones.

Shen Aojun stood at the door and heard the conversation between the two and took a deep breath.

The Queen Mother and the Emperor also learned of this and sent more troops, ordering a search across the country to find the two of them.

Two years have passed, and Rong Zhen still hasn't found the whereabouts of Gu Yunru and Shu'er. He spends all day drinking in the pub. Shen Aojun took over the businesses left by Gu Yunru, and was in the limelight for a while. In addition, the novels he published were unprecedentedly popular. Shen Aojun's value is now different from before.

Seeing him getting drunk here in the middle of the night, she walked in without saying a word and snatched the wine jar from his hand, "If Yunru knew that you get drunk here every day and don't care about military affairs, she would be very disappointed."

Shen Aojun didn't want to see him in such a decadent state, so she grabbed his hand and wanted to take him out of the pub, but Rong Zhen pushed her away. Shen Aojun bumped into the door and hit her head, causing blood to flow.

"Rong Zhen! I really despise you for being such a degenerate woman. You don't even train the soldiers anymore, and you don't care about the affairs of the barracks anymore!"

Shen Aojun rubbed the torn wound. What hurt her most was Rong Zhen's devastated look.

Seeing Rong Zhen didn't speak, as if he was standing outside the world, and the whole person seemed out of tune with this world, Shen Aojun took a deep breath and sat next to him, and whispered to him: "I know you are very sad about Yunru's departure. More than two years have passed, and it is very likely that the person is no longer with us.

But life still has to go on. Don't you want to live without her?"

Rong Zhen did not reply, but took the wine jar and started drinking. Shen Aojun angrily knocked his wine jar to the ground, grabbed his arm and said, "Rong Zhen, look at me, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we must keep looking."

"Heh... the entire Da Qi and Miao Jiang have turned over. I'm afraid people..." Rong Zhen glanced at the starry sky. He had once heard Gu Yunru mention by chance that she came from another planet outside the universe and was a fairy in the sky. At that time, he just thought it was a joke and listened to it for the sake of hearing it.

But now that I think about it, there is no one alive and no body. Could it be that we have really arrived on another planet? !

Rong Zhen rushed to the door regardless of everything. Shen Aojun looked at his dazed look and quickly chased after him, "What do you want to do now?"

He pointed at that day, his expression firm and serious, "I want to go up there, tell me how to get there." Shen Aojun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, thinking that he had drunk too much and lost his mind, so he quickly stood in front of him and said, "Don't even think about it, things outside the sky are not something that we mortals can covet, and what are you going to do up there for no reason?"

Shen Aojun really didn't understand what he was thinking about this. Looking at Rong Zhen's eyes filled with determination, it seemed that he was not joking.
