Tang Chen had discussed this matter with Liang Shuyi before. The government has sent some people out, and although the personnel are not as complicated as before, you can't relax. "Where is Wang Qin now?"
Qiu Liang asked in confusion, "What does Madam mean?"
Tang Chen then explained, "This old man was also set up by someone before. He is actually a good person. Especially since he has been in the mansion since it was first established. I still believe in Queen Wang Zhen's judgment. He was also punished for the previous incident. Now I don't have anyone else around me who can be used. I know that I am not cut out to manage the internal affairs, so I told your master to let him come back to continue to manage the household."
"clear."
After saying that, Tang Chen still looked back at the closed door with some concern, fearing that someone would suddenly knock on the door to deliver a package or something. "Well, now I just hope Shuyi won't be discovered too early; but not too late either, preferably after leaving the valley and walking a distance, when it would be difficult to send it back."
Qiu Liang said that he felt Tang Chen no longer needed to worry about this issue: "Madam, with all due respect, I think it's unlikely."
Tang Chen was slightly stunned: "Why?"
Qiu Liang explained: "When Mr. Shen got on his horse and looked at the ceremonial guard before leaving, his eyes changed. Didn't you notice?"
Tang Chen took a while to react. She really didn't notice the change in Shen Xin's eyes. After all, Wang Yanzhou was standing side by side with him at that time, and a large part of her attention was on him.
If Chen Xin really found out that Liang Shuyi had already sneaked into the team, and left without saying anything, then it means that Chen Xin is actually a guy who says one thing and means another: "...Since you saw it, why didn't you say it earlier!"
Qiu Liang explained very calmly, "I was just about to tell you, but you told me to close the door first. Besides, if I tell you too early, won't I be exposed?"
"...Okay, you're strong, I surrender."
After the team reached the entrance of Qingliang Valley, Wang Yanzhou turned around and went back. He calmly led the team to the vicinity of Zhiyoulin. Because they were worried about being discovered by the South Vietnamese army stationed in the small town, they simply divided the team into many small teams here. After agreeing on the time and meeting place, they went their separate ways.
When they were about fifteen or sixteen miles away from Qingliang Valley, the adjutant, sweating profusely on horseback, suggested, "Sir, the sun is too strong now. Do you want to rest up ahead?"
Chen Xin looked back at the road they had come from and nodded, "We've walked quite a distance, let's just rest here for a while."
"yes."
After the team stopped, those who needed to take care of their three urgent needs went to find a secluded place nearby. The hungry ate dry food, and the thirsty drank water. After searching in the bag on the horse's back for a while, Chen Xin took the dried meat and water bag that Liang Shuyi had prepared for him and went straight to the follower who was sitting alone under a tree eating dry food.
After Shen Xin sat down next to this person, he looked at the dry and hard sesame cake in his hand and handed him the kettle: "Here, drink some water. This is too dry and it will hurt your stomach."
The attendant subconsciously stretched out his hand to take it, but just as he touched the water bag, he suddenly realized something. He stood up quickly, lowered his head and said, "My lord, this is... I am terrified!"
Chen Xin also stood up and exposed it without hesitation: "Okay, I found you a long time ago. Your head is about to be buried in the ground. Isn't it uncomfortable?"
Liang Shuyi turned his back, lowered his head, and pretended not to understand anything. Not only did he start talking nonsense seriously, "No, sir, have you recognized the wrong person? I am just an ordinary, skinny follower."
Chen Xin took a step forward, gently put his arm around Liang Shuyi's waist from behind, put his head on her shoulder, squinted his eyes with satisfaction and said, "Okay, don't worry, I won't chase you away this time."
Liang Shuyi hesitated: "Really?"
"real."
Liang Shuyi rubbed Chen Xin's forehead with her head and asked curiously, "You, when did you discover me? It seems like you didn't even notice my existence along the way."
Chen Xin narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Yan Zhou was with me earlier. If he had discovered you, I might not have been able to be so cruel as to satisfy my selfish desires with him around."
Liang Shuyi finally smiled after hearing this: "We are husband and wife after all. It's hard for you to find out that I didn't tell anyone and put you and me in the same team."
Chen Xin smiled helplessly and said, "I know it would be dangerous for you to follow me, but I had no way of knowing that you were right next to me, yet you had to be placed somewhere I couldn't see."
Liang Shuyi had already made up her mind. Even if Chen Xin knocked her out and sent her back, she would still catch up as long as she got the chance: "Anyway, I'm going to follow you on this trip. No matter what we encounter along the way, I don't want to be separated from you. To put it bluntly, even if I die, I want to die with you."
Chen Xin half-jokingly said, "If we all leave, who will take care of Shuang'er?"
Liang Shuyi turned around and extended her hand, gently caressing Chen Xin's cheek as if she were holding a rare treasure. She said, "Shuang'er is a piece of my flesh and blood. Naturally, I love her dearly. In my heart, everything about her is more important than myself. But compared to you, she's a little less important. Besides, even if something happens to us, Achen will treat her like his own daughter and take good care of her on our behalf."
Chen Xin lowered her head, gently nuzzled Liang Shuyi's nose, and said happily, "I knew you must have made up your mind to follow me. You can't be driven away, like a piece of sticky candy."
Liang Shuyi said: "Before, you were the one I couldn't get rid of, now I'll let you taste the feeling of being stuck to me."
Chen Xin closed her eyes and sighed, "That tastes wonderful, right? What do you think, Madam?"
"You're just sweet-talking."
The attendants present had been standing there listening to the affectionate couple for quite a while, feeling embarrassed to remain silent and act as a third wheel. After exchanging glances, they tactfully dispersed.
After a day of anxiously waiting in the palace, Tang Chen finally felt relieved when she saw that Liang Shuyi hadn't been sent back yet and no one had reported anything wrong with her. To be honest, she didn't want to let Liang Shuyi go. After all, the dangers on the road were unpredictable, and it was best to have fewer people in danger.
However, she also felt the same as Liang Shuyi was thinking.
