Yao Chen said that what would happen between him and Xihe was, after all, a matter between the two of them. Tang Chen, on the other hand, could have said such things? Could it be that Wang Yanzhou had found a new love? When he arrived, he saw the angel-like woman named Hong Yu, who seemed to be a very popular figure in the Qingliang Valley army. "So, are you worried that the emperor's uncle will suddenly change his mind and let you down?"
Tang Chen said confidently: "Don't worry, because I know that in my lifetime, in the time I am alive, he will not do such a thing. When I die and can no longer see or hear, I hope he can find someone he likes. At least he won't have to live with a memory all the time, right?"
After that, without waiting for Yao Chen to understand the meaning of her words, Tang Chen got on the carriage and left. Looking at her back as she walked away, Shu Yang couldn't help but ask, "Brother, what do you think she wanted to say today?"
Yao Chen said, "To sum it up, it's all for us, for Wang Yanzhou. But you, because of my arrival, seem to be intentionally or unintentionally distancing yourself from her. I heard Liuying say before that you two actually have a very good relationship."
Shu Yang didn't really want to be so indifferent to Tang Chen. She had her own frustrations: "I just thought that if things really got into a fight, if our relationship wasn't that deep, there wouldn't be so much embarrassment and guilt."
Yao Chen said, "Actually, I haven't really made a decision about that matter yet. Although I did do a lot of shameful things in the past, now I hope to live an upright life under the sun. I also need time to think about stealing other people's fruits."
Shu Yang also reiterated: "No matter what decision you make, I will stand by you unconditionally."
Liuying stood quietly by, listening to the brother and sister speak in a language she didn't understand. Although she was curious, she still remembered the proper manners of a slave. She had no other place to go in her life, and no other relatives. Since that was the case, she would just do the same as Shuyang. Shuyang was willing to stand by Yaochen unconditionally, and she could also stand behind them without asking why, doing her best.
When Tang Chen left the thatched cottage and secretly made a secret decision in his heart, the matter of the spy outside Qingliang Valley, after lasting for several months, was finally going to come to a conclusion.
Xie Zhuangshui vaguely remembered that after drinking the food brought from the kitchen, he fell into a daze and fell asleep. When he woke up, he opened his eyes and found himself in an unfamiliar place. Not only that, his hands and feet were tied up: "......!"
Ou Yezi, who had been quietly waiting for him to wake up, saw that the knockout drug had worn off and said, "Don't struggle. I soaked this rope in sesame oil. It's stronger than water. You can't break free."
After seeing the man holding him hostage, Xie Zhuangshui said in astonishment, "Ou Yezi, do you know what you are doing?"
Ou Yezi smiled and said, "I know. So the person who will talk to you next is not me."
When Ou Yezi left the granary to prepare his supplies, Shi Zairong and the others appeared. They didn't know how many of his accomplices were in the town, so they had no choice but to bring them here. The granary had always been the territory of Prajna and her siblings. South Vietnamese soldiers generally didn't dare approach it, and those with ulterior motives would certainly not choose to appear in such a place where they would be easily noticed.
When Xie Zhuangshui saw Shi Zairong appear, his heart couldn't help but beat a drum. With this posture, could it be that he was really exposed? This was unlikely. After thinking about it, he didn't reveal any clues. Could it be that someone was framing him? Thinking of this, Xie Zhuangshui's expression changed, and he asked first, "Grand Master, what is going on?"
Shi Zairong smiled and said, "Nothing happened, I just have a few questions for you, Excellency."
The expression on Xie Zhuangshui's face gradually froze. "Grand Master, I don't quite understand what you mean. Did someone say something falsely accusing me? You must not believe it!"
Before Shi Zairong could ask, Xiao Liang couldn't help himself and punched "Xie Zhuangshui" in the face with all his strength: "Tell me, where did you take Xie Zhuangshui?"
The beaten "Xie Zhuangshui" now clearly realized that his identity must have been exposed. He could only try to circumvent them and see if he could come up with some other way to escape: "Xiao Liang, are you crazy? I'm right here!"
Xiao Liang grabbed Xie Zhuangshui's collar tightly and shouted angrily, "Stop pretending! He breaks out in a rash whenever he touches the hemostatic grass, but when we went on patrol yesterday, nothing happened to you! You're a really good masquerade, but you can't imitate this one thing."
"Xie Zhuangshui" was stunned. His disguise had always been perfect, and Shi Zairong had never doubted him before. Really, he should have found out more about the real owner. "...Humph, even if I'm not Xie Zhuangshui, what can you do to me? The worst that can happen is death."
His words were very clear. He was not afraid of death, but if he died, these people in front of him would never be able to find the whereabouts of the real Xie Zhuangshui.
However, his threats didn't seem to have any effect. Shi Zairong bowed to the little girl who seemed to be in a daze and said, "This person really won't cry until he sees the coffin. Senior, I'll leave the rest to you."
Tan Hua regained his composure, flexed his wrist, and walked over to "Xie Zhuangshui," saying, "Since the people I've been wanting to see lately don't want to see me, it's not a bad idea for me to help you out. Ou Yezi will be back soon, so we can get started once he brings the things."
Ou Yezi left the granary and returned to his own residence to search for something. He did not keep anyone waiting for too long. After Tanhua had prepared everything he needed, everyone initially thought that the mask on his face was just a simple mask, and that the person who disguised himself was a master.
However, upon hearing Xie Zhuangshui's agonizing, pig-slaughtering screams and the festering, somewhat horrifying appearance beneath the mask, everyone present couldn't help but gasp. Based on Prajna's years of traveling and cultivating, she concluded, "Shh, what a clumsy disguise! It looks a bit like Xiahou Qing's handiwork."
