Chapter 50: The Secret Exposed
It’s a pity that extreme hope often brings extreme disappointment.
Seeing that General Shen on horseback had turned around, she could already vaguely see the outline of his face...
A face covered with a black cloth suddenly appeared outside the window. Above the black cloth, a pair of eyes as cold as a poisonous snake met Wenwan's gaze.
Wen Wan screamed in fright, and the next moment, the masked man raised his knife, chopped off the window, and jumped in.
Wen Wan felt that when people are unlucky, there is really no limit to their bad luck.
In such a big border town and such a large vegetable market, how could the thief appear in front of her?
Everyone in the room screamed in terror.
The blade reflected a silvery light, and the sharp edge brushed past Wenwan's face.
"careful!"
When Wen Wan felt the coldness of the blade, an arm behind her decisively grabbed her back.
A black shadow stepped out from behind and kicked the thief on the wrist. When the long knife fell to the ground, the inch-long knife in the black shadow's hand had already cut the thief's throat.
What a handsome move!
"Don't worry, Miss Xiaowan, I'm here!"
The black shadow turned around, revealing Agui's face with a simple smile.
The silly smile on his face formed a sharp contrast with his cool appearance just now.
"sharp!"
Wen Wan gave him a thumbs up.
Agui said cheerfully, "I told you I can protect you."
“It must be possible!”
Wen Wan sighed, it turns out that you can't judge a book by its cover. Someone with thin arms and legs can also be considered an expert.
She is narrow-minded.
After killing the thief who broke in, Agui stood guard by the window.
While being alert, he waved to someone from a distance.
Wen Wan looked in the direction he greeted, and only saw the backs of the border town defenders leaving.
Half an hour later, people from the government office came to clean up the mess.
I heard from the government office that the thieves who set fire to the jewelry store have all been executed, and security and stability have been restored to the border town.
Wen Wan was still thinking about the affectionate and righteous young captain. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the man was Shen Yu.
"Agui, let's go find Captain Zhou."
As the two walked out of the street, Wen Wan stopped.
Agui: "Ah...why are you looking for the captain? He should be very busy right now."
Wen Wan's face darkened immediately upon hearing this. "Agui, you are so skilled, it's really unfair for you to be a servant. If you have any grand ambitions, you can directly tell Captain Zhou about them later, but..."
She paused. "When your captain's life or death is unknown, you are indifferent. Isn't that too heartless? After all, Captain Zhou gave you a job to support your family, right?"
Wenwan's words were sharp and Agui was stunned.
"Miss Xiaowan... I, I, I'm not indifferent, it's just..."
Agui had no words to express his grievances, but he couldn't reveal the general's background. He was so anxious that his face turned red.
Wen Wan: "Okay, if you don't want to go, then don't go. I'll go by myself."
After saying that, she walked towards the military camp outside the city without hesitation.
Agui came to his senses and quickly chased after him.
"Miss Xiaowan, you misunderstood! I didn't mean to not care about the captain. I just made sure that my captain was safe and not injured."
Wen Wan was stunned, "What do you mean?"
Agui racked his brains to come up with a reasonable excuse.
"When we were hiding in the house, wasn't there a group of soldiers passing by? The captain was inside too. I saw him."
Wen Wan's eyes widened. "He's here too? Why didn't I see him?"
Ah Gui laughed guiltily, "We were far away at the time, and there were a lot of people around. Maybe when you looked over, he was just blocked by someone else?"
"Really?" Wen Wan was a little uncertain.
But it was a time of chaos and her attention was on General Shen, so it is possible that she didn't notice whether Captain Zhou was there or not?
Agui advised again: "Miss Xiaowan, let's go back first. I will notify you as soon as the captain comes back. Besides, we haven't been back for so long, maybe Wen En is looking for you everywhere now."
"Oh, and Winn, he should be worried."
That boy is impatient. If he can't find her, who knows what crazy things he will do.
Only then did she follow Agui back.
Agui was very generous and bought her pork belly and some side dishes on the way back.

Fortunately, Wen Wan returned home in time. If she had been a step later, Wen En would have gone out to look for her with a kitchen knife.
When he heard that there was a thief in the vegetable market, he was so scared that he didn't care whether he could come back safely since he had no martial arts skills.
"Yeah! I'll tell you again, no matter what the situation, you must protect yourself first, and then help others!"
"Don't be so impulsive next time. Even if something happens to me, I don't want you to get hurt because of me."
Wen En grabbed her hand, his eyes aggrieved, "I'll be sad if anything happens to you."
"But if something happens to you, I will be sad too, right?" Wen Wan said gently, "I hope you are well too."
Wen En said nothing, his eyebrows drooped, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Wen Wan patted his hand and soothed him, "Okay, I'll go make lunch. We were all scared today, so we need to comfort ourselves with a good meal."
When she entered the kitchen, Winn looked up.
However, at this moment, there was no trace of youthful innocence on his face, but rather a kind of paranoid madness.
"I won't let anything happen to you."
*
Wen Wan poured the vegetables into the pot and stir-fried them while thinking about what happened today.
Suddenly, she stopped moving.
She remembered something that sent chills down her spine.
After killing the thief, Agui did not show any fear or panic after killing someone for the first time. He even remembered to buy some groceries for her and bring them home!
This is definitely not a normal reaction for someone who kills someone for the first time!
Agui not only killed people, he must have killed many people.
Otherwise, he would never be so calm.
And he is Captain Zhou’s personal servant!
Does Captain Zhou know Agui’s background?
Wen Wan didn't dare to think about it too much, and her heart became more and more uneasy.
She didn't care about the food in the pot and ran to the yard anxiously.
She still kept the carrier pigeon from last time. She put the written letter into a small bamboo tube and threw the carrier pigeon into the air.
The carrier pigeon flapped its wings and flew quickly to the outskirts of the city.
*
After Shen Yu led his troops back to the camp, he gave some instructions on military affairs. Just as he changed out of his armor, a carrier pigeon landed on the windowsill.
To make it easier to identify, a small tuft of feathers on the pigeon's wings was dyed red.
Jin Mu took a look and said with a smile: "This is Miss Xiaowan's pigeon. It seems that there is unrest in the city today. Miss Xiaowan is worried about the safety of the general."
When Shen Yu heard this, a smile appeared in his eyes.
Jin Mu took out the letter from the bamboo tube and handed it to Shen Yu.
Shen Yu unfolded the letter. When he saw the contents of the letter, he was stunned for a moment, then sneered:
"That idiot Agui! He's exposed!"
