Chapter 117 Dried Sweet Potatoes



After leaving Yanjing and traveling to Qing Province, Zhao Yulin went to the Sichuan-Shu border. His situation was extremely difficult, far beyond his initial expectations.

He never expected that even the Yugong brothers from Japan would interfere.

Fortunately, he managed to save his life in the end. But what about next time? Can he still be lucky enough to perform an escape that even he finds bizarre?

He had no confidence anyway, especially as he gradually saw some secrets hidden behind the scenes. Zhao Yulin felt that the road ahead was long and difficult.

Before returning to Yanjing, he had to be as cautious as walking on thin ice every moment.

And ruthless.

Just like on the battlefield.

Although there was a bustling world with thousands of people around him, there was no desolation on the battlefield, nor were there two teams of mercenaries firing cannons at each other, but the degree of crisis was even greater than that on the battlefield.

Protecting Sun Leling was the most comfortable task for Zhao Yulin since his debut. Unfortunately, it was also the most difficult task, no doubt about it.

“War is a game for capitalists. This invisible war that brings together the country’s big tycoons is hard to dodge, and it is even harder to guard against hidden arrows. So I’m sorry, I don’t have the qualifications to calmly discuss business with Mr. Tang.”

Zhao Yulin’s expression and tone were all cold.

If it were any other time, this conversation would probably facilitate the two wishes and naturally establish a good friendship between the two people of the same age, but not now.

"I must bring the three men and one woman in the next room back to Yanjing unscathed. Before that, the Tang Sect cannot exist as an unstable bomb."

Tang Rufeng's eyes wavered, and he asked, "Brother Zhao has decided to play the villain?"

Zhao Yulin's expression was similar to his, changing from cloudy to bright, and he said, "I don't know much about facial makeup. If the villain you are talking about is a villain, then congratulations on your answer."

In the Shura Field, pure good people die early, and pure villains don't live long. The best strategy is to switch between the two frequently, so Zhao Yulin has played the villain many times, and naturally doesn't care about doing it again.

Tang Rufeng answered correctly, but there was no reward, and he became a hostage instead.

If there must be a reward, maybe it is a free trip to Yanjing, after all, there is no need to pay for the travel expenses.

The night is long and dreams are many. Zhao Yulin did not want to stay in the county town, so he drove the military jeep and took the boys and girls directly back to Yanjing.

Tang Rufeng was helpless. Everyone was still having a banquet together an hour ago, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. Now, after just a few cups of tea, he became a hostage.

So, sometimes life is really unpredictable.

Zhou Yidian was responsible for driving, Zhao Yulin sat in the second row, responsible for escorting the young master of the Tang Sect, and the girls sat in the back, exchanging various glances.

Chen Siyao reached out to knock on Zhao Yulin's seat: "That's not fair."

Zhao Yulin only asked a question in return, and the violent policewoman was silenced and retreated to her original position to continue listening to the song.

"Which is more important, staying alive or being fair? If you think life is not a big deal and death is not a big deal, I can release you immediately."

"Well, I just asked casually."

...

...

Tang Rufeng hung up the phone call to his family to assure them of his safety, and made an excuse that he was going to Yanjing to play with his friends. It didn't matter whether the person on the other end of the phone heard something else. Anyway, Zhao Yulin and others would never encounter any resistance from the Tang Sect on their way home, and that was enough.

"Brother Zhao, the deal is not even over yet, and you didn't even listen to my terms, but you dragged me to Yanjing. Isn't that a bit arbitrary?"

Tang Rufeng smiled awkwardly. He never expected that such a situation would happen tonight.

While the car was still in the autonomous prefecture, he wanted to try again. It would be best if he could get off the car and go home.

Although the capital Yanjing was prosperous, he had many things to deal with, so it was not time to travel and relax.

Zhao Yulin was very unkind: "I don't care about your conditions. Even if they are not excessive, I can easily pay the bill. But who can guarantee that you will not turn against me after the deal is done?"

Tang Rufeng said solemnly: "A man without integrity cannot stand. I am definitely not the kind of person who is untrustworthy. If Zhao doesn't believe in me, does that mean he doesn't believe in the Tang Sect? I can't do such a thing as destroying my own reputation."

Zhao Yulin said with a numb expression: "Compared to the people of the Tang Sect who have already deteriorated, I would rather choose to believe in myself. Just as you said that you can't bear to destroy the reputation of the Tang Sect and put its life and death in the hands of others, I can't do such a thing."

Zhou Yidian was sitting in the front row and wanted to interrupt him to say something, but he was interrupted by Zhao Yulin as soon as he opened his mouth. He had to continue to concentrate on driving.

The distance from Shu to Yanjing is not really that close. The jeep drove on the highway all night before finally leaving Sichuan and entering the territory of Shaanxi Province.

A steaming bowl of fried noodles and mutton steamed buns was the best reward they got after traveling all night long.

Not staying in the city for too long, after purchasing some necessary things for the journey, the jeep drove onto the highway again and headed north.

Zhou Caifeng took the driver's seat and was able to breathe at one o'clock. She slumped down on the seat with a face full of exhaustion, half sitting and half lying down, biting into the special snacks she bought in the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties before leaving. While chewing, she muttered: "It turns out that all I ate before was fake meat buns."

Looking at him yawning continuously, Zhao Yulin's eyes were complicated.

Among the people in the car, Zhou Yidian was the only one who really encountered danger. He was almost kidnapped. Although the danger was imminent and the final difficult situation did not occur, it should be thrilling enough for a rich young man. However,

he has not mentioned a word so far, and acted as if it was really just like what Tang Rufeng said, he just waited downstairs for a while and nothing happened.

Tang Rufeng, who saved him from the tiger's mouth, now became their pass for escort. Although the knife was not on his neck, he was a real hostage.

In Zhou Yidian's mind, this behavior could be equated with ingratitude, but he still had no complaints about Zhao Yulin's shameful behavior.

He even rarely looked at Tang Rufeng directly, but when he occasionally glanced at Tang Rufeng from the corner of his eye, Zhao Yulin could see deep guilt in his eyes.

How deep is this kid's mind?

Zhao Yulin suddenly found that he could not figure out the noisy little brat.

The jeep continued to move forward along the boring road. The return journey was long and long, far less monotonous than the trip there, which was full of laughter and joy. It lacked fun.

Later on, Zhou started to take turns driving with the sisters at one o'clock. Each of us drove a short distance, which was not tiring. After two days and two nights, we drove into Zhuxi Garden.

"It feels so comfortable to be home!"

Sun Leling rushed into the yard as soon as possible, lying on her favorite large wooden chair, stretching her limbs and looking very comfortable.

She had been sitting in the car for a long time, even though the space in the military jeep was spacious enough, it was still not very comfortable to return home after a long time.

As a bodyguard, Zhao Yulin was quite aware of the situation. He carried everyone's luggage upstairs and put it away. When he returned to the yard, he happened to meet Leng Hanshuang who had returned from outside.

"Master... Aunt Leng!"

He was emotionally excited and rushed to hug his senior sister, like a homesick wanderer who had returned from a long journey and saw his mother whom he missed day and night.

This scene puzzled Sun Leling. It was obviously her Aunt Leng, so how could the little bodyguard who had been here for less than half a year seem to be closer to Aunt Leng than her?

Leng Hanshuang smiled and stroked the slightly haggard face, her eyes full of kindness: "You're back. I went to the neighbor's house to get some dried sweet potatoes and made some hot porridge for you. After drinking, go to sleep."

Zhao Yulin looked the most like he had been on a long journey. He was covered in dust and his eyes were red and bloodshot. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he didn't get enough rest.

In fact, he didn't close his eyes for two days and two nights on the road from Sichuan to Yanjing. He was awake all the time to prevent Tang Rufeng from causing trouble. After all,

he was the young master of the Tang Sect. Although his martial arts skills were a little lacking, it would be easy and pleasant for him to deal with a car full of weak women and Zhou Dian, who had never practiced martial arts.

"Yeah."

Zhao Yulin nodded obediently.

Sun Leling was jealous. She turned over and left the cool bed. She pouted and walked to Leng Hanshuang. She took the initiative to extend her little face to Leng Hanshuang and said aggrievedly: "Aunt Leng, this guy has only known you for a few days. It's been half a month since we last met, and you've forgotten me!"

Leng Hanshuang was stunned for a moment and then couldn't help laughing. She reached out and touched the young lady's smooth and pretty face: "You are so old, why are you still like a child?"

Zhao Yulin pouted and rubbed Sun Leling's hair. He couldn't help but smile. This weird young lady can really get jealous of anything.

Sun Leling glared at him fiercely, but didn't resist.

"Sister, it seems that your brother-in-law has never done such intimate things to you, right?"

On the swing chair, Zhou Yidian whispered to Zhou Caifeng.

Zhou Caifeng looked at the happy scene of the family reunion in front of him, his face as calm as usual, and said in a clear voice: "They are used to each other after seeing each other day and night without any suspicion of each other."

"Ah? Then what are you going to do?"

Zhou Yidian seemed to have turned back into a naive boy who knew nothing about the world, and asked worriedly.

Zhou Caifeng was not worried about nothing. She smiled and said, "It's not about time. I just want him to go to bed early. It's painful to see him so tired."

...

"I heard that you held the young master of the Tang Sect as a talisman, so you can travel smoothly all the way. Now that you are home, you don't have to be so cautious. I don't need to teach you what to do, right?" After

calming down Sun Leling's little emotions, Leng Hanshuang looked at the young man standing alone at the gate of the courtyard.

Being a stranger in a foreign land, Tang Rufeng could not do whatever he wanted.

His extraordinary family background and experience gave him a calm and composed mind most of the time, but when he met a madman like Zhao Yulin, he would feel annoyed or helpless.

"I know what to do. Cook one more bowl of sweet potato porridge."

Zhao Yulin blew on his increasingly long hair and walked towards the young master of the Tang Sect in a ruffian manner.
