Since Hong Yu had said so, Lian Guang couldn't say anything more. Although Chen Xin's group was small, they were all experts. The team was approaching, and it was better to avoid a direct confrontation. This put Hong Yu in a dilemma: "...Then Lian Guang will go back first. Miss, be careful on the road."
Lian Guang was about to run when she turned around and was stopped by a small red insect emitting a faint fragrance. "Oh, right, there's one more thing I want to confirm. Was he really the one who caused the zombie incident?"
Lian Guang said, "If you want to know, why not go back with Lian Guang?"
Hong Yu rubbed his forehead helplessly, shook his head, and said with a smile: "Haha, that's not necessary. Tell Shi Zairong again. I don't know what he's thinking, but if he secretly uses some unknown people in the Huangfu family who have ulterior motives, the most serious consequence may be that this marriage that everyone is looking forward to will be shattered. I don't want my future husband to be a hypocrite, even if he is a real villain."
"Lian Guang is leaving."
…When Chen Xin was taking a break from howling, his voice a little tired, the team also encountered Hong Yu, who had run ahead. Hong Yu was holding a handful of unknown wild flowers picked from nearby and was plucking the petals while teasing, "Wow, you guys are walking so slowly. Are you tired of howling, Mr. Shen?"
After coughing twice and drinking some water, Chen Xin said, "Ahem, my voice is a little hoarse. I'll try again after I've had enough rest. Miss Hong Yu, am I singing well?"
Hong Yu nodded vigorously and said, "Very good, very good. Look at all the birds and beasts all over the mountains, you've sung them all."
Chen Xin smiled and asked, "Really? Did Miss Hongyu intercept some snacks for us along the way?"
Hong Yu rolled his eyes and said, "I actually managed to intercept a little rabbit just now, but it's already got little ones in its belly. I can't eat it."
Shen Xin also sighed in a pretentious manner: "Alas, what a pity."
Liang Shuyi and his followers said that they had just discovered that someone was following them. After Hong Yu left, the noise followed her. It was such an obvious thing and there were no outsiders here, but these two people were still talking mysteriously. They were too much of a showman.
"Alright, stop playing dumb. We're all family, and you're talking in your own way." Liang Shuyi dismounted and asked in a friendly and concerned manner, "Are you okay? Who was that guy?"
After handing half of the flowers to Liang Shuyi, Hong Yu smiled and said, "How could I be in trouble? That person was sent by my family to check on me. They saw that I hadn't returned for such a long time, so they were a little worried and sent someone to check on me."
Liang Shuyi nodded thoughtfully and said, "Come to think of it, you actually stayed in Qingliang Valley for quite some time. It's our fault for not being thoughtful enough. We should have sent a message back home to let you know you were safe."
Hong Yu went on to explain, "It's nothing, really. Don't worry about it. I told them before I left that we might be out for a long time this time. But thanks to Second Master, those zombies probably won't dare to harass us for a while."
Chen Xin raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh, so I have accomplished a great deed this time?"
Liang Shuyi suggested somewhat helplessly: "You look so beautiful, and you've been singing all the way. Why don't you stop for a while?"
When everyone heard this, they immediately stopped what they were doing and waited quietly for Shen Xin's answer. After all, the journey was hard enough, and it was very important to ensure adequate rest and a happy mood.
Shen Xin asked with some disappointment: "Why, don't you want to listen?"
Liang Shuyi said with a smile, "I'd like to, but I'm afraid everyone will be so mesmerized by your singing that they'll forget the main purpose of our trip."
Chen Xin touched the prickly stubble on his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "That's right. Since Madam has spoken, let's wait for the next song to be sung to our heart's content on the day of our triumphant return. When we get back, I'll ask Achen to teach me some other songs. Although the lyrics of this song are straightforward, the rhythm is cheerful and catchy. It's quite good."
Hong Yu exchanged glances with his followers, then said with sudden realization, "Oh, so it was Tang Chen who taught you that."
...Lian Guang usually doesn't like to worship gods and Buddhas, but after running around all the way and being so busy that he was dizzy, he once thought that what the old people often said about having very bad luck in one's birth year was true.
Lian Guang slept soundly for a whole day and night before rushing back to Shi Zairong's side. When he returned, Shi Zairong barged in his questions before he could even begin to speak: "Why did you come back? Didn't I ask you to protect Hong Yu? How is she now? Is she eating and sleeping well? Was she injured in the zombie incident?"
Lian Guang listened quietly and patiently as Shi Zairong finished asking all his questions. Then, he gave a unified answer: "Miss Huijue is doing well now. Chen Xin did not dare to neglect her. She also said that she didn't need me around to get in the way. In addition, she had something to tell me."
Shi Zairong's heart, which had been in her throat for a long time, finally settled back down. "Alas, it's really hard for a woman and a villain... Forget it, what did she say?"
After Lian Guang repeated Hong Yu's words to Shi Zairong verbatim, almost word for word, Shi Zairong opened and closed the folding fan in his hand and fell into deep thought.
A moment later, Shi Zairong tapped the table three times with his folding fan. The guard who had been guarding outside the room opened the door and walked in. "I wonder what instructions the Grand Master has."
Shi Zairong asked, "Have those two people from the Northwest Courtyard done anything recently?"
The guard replied, "It's the same as usual, but they recently asked Military Advisor Xiao for a lot of refugees."
When the two men from the Huangfu family wanted someone, he had already clearly told Xiao Liang what kind of person he wanted to capture. But looking at the situation of those costs recently, it seems that people with healthy limbs have also been captured.
Just as Hong Yu reminded himself, aside from other things, just talking about the Huangfu family, they have their own set of standards and norms for doing things. Although they are not as righteous as the so-called righteous path, "people" is their bottom line. For the sake of his own future happiness, he still needs to restrain himself.
"Go tell Xiao Liang that these two can indeed be of some use, but they can't be left to their own devices. The timing isn't particularly ripe yet. If there are too many of those things, we won't be able to handle them. Don't let those with ulterior motives make fools of us."
