"He's gone, now it's your turn."
After Xiao Liang handed the letter he had prepared early in the morning to Qilin Mian, he repeatedly reminded him: "Remember, this letter must be delivered to your master personally, personally."
"……" Without saying a word or making any unnecessary movements, the man took the thing and disappeared into the shadows again.
Three days later, this mysterious letter was placed on Wang Yanzhou's desk by an unknown mysterious knight.
Even though Wang Yanzhou had sent numerous guards around the study, hoping to find any clues about the man, the final result remained unchanged. Who was the man who had been providing them with intelligence for the South Vietnamese army?
On the other side, Lian Xin, who had originally planned to sneak into Qinghe County City to gather information, successfully entered the city. Looking at the guards patrolling around the city and the Princess's Mansion and Qinglong Village that were surrounded, his uneasy heart finally slowly returned to calmness.
In this situation, if Lin Feng and the people from Tianshu Tower really captured Qinghe and Ouyang Ming, they would definitely not be guarding the Princess's Mansion and Qinglong Village so tightly.
Lian Xin, whose guard had gradually dropped, was caught off guard and revealed his whereabouts in the city. Regardless of who Lin Feng was working for, he was a renowned expert in solving cases during his time at the government office. If he found even the slightest clue, it would be difficult for anyone to escape his clutches.
Lin Feng chased Lian Xin all the way out of the city. Lian Xin had been feeling unwell both physically and mentally during this period. If Cheng Jiao had not received help from Su Zhirou again, she would have committed suicide at the hands of Lin Feng before she could reunite with Qing He.
To ensure her safety, Su Zhirou carefully placed Lian Xin in a safe place and then collected a large amount of herbs from the mountains outside the city to help her heal her wounds. Under Su Zhirou's meticulous care, Lian Xin, who already had a very strong physical condition, recovered extremely quickly.
After Lian Xin's injuries were almost healed, he packed his luggage and prepared to say goodbye to Su Zhirou: "Miss Su, I'm really sorry to have troubled you during this period."
Su Zhirou was busy helping her prepare the medicine she might need along the way, and she didn't forget to reply: "It's no trouble. Speaking of which, I still owe Tang Chen a favor. Since you two know each other, just consider it as repaying her favor."
I had previously thought it was just a chance encounter and I wouldn't see him again, and since Lian Xin was busy trying to find out about Qing He, I hadn't asked much. But now that he'd been saved again, I felt like I should at least show some concern.
Speaking of which, there was one thing that Lian Xin was curious about. If she remembered correctly, Su Zhirou had been planning to return to Jiangdu after Zhao Wentao's death. Surprisingly, no one had noticed that she was still lingering near Qinghe County. "Come to think of it, Miss Su, you're going back to Jiangdu, aren't you? Why are you in Qinghe?"
Su Zhirou paused for a moment after hearing this, then smiled and explained, "I've been back for a while now. The Zhao family is gone, and the Su family has long since fallen. After much deliberation, I decided that Qinghe County is better for Daliang, so I settled down outside the city. After I came back, I heard people talking about Tang Chen, so I didn't bother her anymore. I heard she's pregnant, is she okay?"
"The princess is now in Qingliang Valley and is being taken care of by everyone. You don't have to worry. It's just that Qinghe County is no longer safe. Otherwise, why don't you go to Qingliang Valley?"
Su Zhirou smiled but declined, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Lian Xin. I'm fine here too."
After Lian Xin saw that everything was mostly packed, she said to Su Zhirou while she was changing her dressings, "Miss Su, the princess is no longer in the city. I have to go out and look for her. I can only repay your kindness someday."
Su Zhirou smiled and said, "What's the point of repaying a favor? Everyone makes mistakes in life. Just think of it as me atonement for the mistakes I made in the past."
"Miss Su..." The changes that happened to Su Zhirou were truly heartbreaking. Even after going through so much, she was still able to maintain her true nature. Lian Xin couldn't help but feel respect for this woman who always had a smile on her face and radiated a gentle light.
Su Zhirou still maintained that gentle smile on her face and said, "What you and Tang Chen said about Miss Su is enough. I'm very happy that in the eyes of others, I am still the same me."
During the days Lian Xin had been bothering him, Su Zhirou was almost always the only one he could see. Most of the nearby residents had already left, and she was a weak woman with no martial arts skills, so even with her quick mind, she was still a source of worry.
Therefore, Lian Xin simply suggested again: "Miss, Qinghe is really not safe right now. If Lin Feng and his gang find out about your relationship with us, I'm afraid you will be implicated. Jiangdu is relatively peaceful compared to other places now. If you really like Qinghe County, why not go back to Jiangdu and live there for a while? It won't be too late to come back after the storm has passed."
Su Zhirou shook her head slightly and said, "I've always been alone, and it's fate that I can help you now. I'm living well here, and I really don't want to go back to Jiangdu, that sad place. Even if Lin Feng really captures me, so what? I'll just be giving him my life for free."
Seeing Su Zhirou's determination, Lian Xin didn't know what to say. "Since Miss Su has made up her mind, I don't know what to say anymore. Thank you for your care these past few days. I'll take my leave now."
"Miss Lianxin, be careful on your journey."
Su Zhirou stood in front of the fence and watched Lian Xin's back disappear from her sight. She couldn't help but sigh softly.
When she turned around and was about to go back to the house to clean it up, she looked back and saw Lin Feng leaning against the door, squinting at her.
Seeing that the man had finally come to his senses, Lin Feng stood up and walked over. "If I hadn't known you before, I would have believed what you said just now. Lian Xin probably never imagined that the woman who saved her from danger twice was actually plotting against her."
Su Zhirou sneered, "In front of my lord, I'm afraid I'm even inferior. But it's all just self-deception. Instead of talking nonsense to me here, you might as well send someone to follow them. If they get lost, I won't take the responsibility."
Lin Feng, however, was full of confidence and said without any anxiety: "Don't worry, it won't be lost. This time, it's all thanks to the good idea you came up with."
Su Zhirou said with a bit of self-mockery, "It's nothing, I'm just bored. If you have nothing to do here, go ahead and do it. I still have to clean the house, so I don't have the time to entertain a busy man like Master Lin."
