Lin Tongxi and Shaerya continued to rest, while Chen Yunxuan and Shaerya stayed on guard for the first half of the night.
…
After a while, the alarm set by Lin Tongxi made his phone vibrate.
"Huh? Mr. County Magistrate, there seems to be some strange movement from Young Master Tongxi's side." Ah Xiu pointed in the direction of Lin Tongxi.
"Don't worry about it. That's Brother Tongxi's tool. It's used to remind us of the time. It should be midnight now. Let's rest quickly." After Chen Yunxuan finished speaking, he woke up the two people who were resting.
Lin Tongxi rubbed his sleepy eyes, forced himself to stay awake, took out a can of coffee and drank it.
There's no way, I'm just too sleepy. I didn't sleep much at all just now.
As for Shalya, she was very energetic. Under the effect of the anesthetic injection just now, she slept soundly for quite a while.
Besides, she still remained vigilant against the three people and just closed her eyes to rest.
"The two of us will go and rest first. I'll have to trouble you two from now on." Chen Yunxuan spoke first, and then took A Xiu to the corner to rest.
The two people on night watch stood up and took over the responsibility of paying attention to the movements around them.
Too many things happened during the day, especially Lu Fengyu's backstab! It almost cost them both their lives.
Next, the four people’s itinerary should be to escort Sharya to the tribal camp first, and then return to Guangyang County.
However, what worries Lin Tongxi the most is what if Lu Fengyu has a backup plan?
If he and Chen Yunxuan rushed into the city like this, their lives would probably be in danger.
According to the logic of Lu Fengyu's behavior today, there will definitely be martial law in the near future and strict screening of people entering the city.
Moreover, they don’t know what cards Lu Fengyu has in his hand now.
If I rush back to Guangyang County... wouldn't it be too dangerous?
"Oh... headache." Lin Tongxi complained silently while considering his next move.
"Shaerya, would you like to go out and get some fresh air? It's too stuffy here." Lin Tongxi glanced at Shaerya.
"What do you want to do?" Shaerya stared at Lin Tongxi with a vigilant look.
Lin Tongxi was speechless. You, a first-grade warrior, are actually afraid of me, a fifth-grade warrior?
"Just get some fresh air. If you don't want to, forget it." Lin Tongxi sat at the door of the dilapidated temple, looking at the sky.
I have to say that the sky in ancient times was always beautiful, and you could see many stars.
Looking at this scene, Lin Tongxi recalled the days in Qingshi Village.
When the three of them couldn't sleep, he would look at the stars with Chen Yunxuan and Su Ruoxue.
"Brother Tongxi, Miss Su, these days have been wonderful... I even think that staying in the village forever would be a good choice."
"Yes, my life has been very happy recently, without any worries. It would be even better if Daddy were here."
"I have the same idea... But, the war will eventually spread here, right? Will it still be so peaceful then?" Lin Tongxi looked at the twinkling starry sky and thought of the Chinese continent divided by warlords.
The peace in Xiangzhou is only temporary, and war will come one day.
In order to protect the peace of Qingshi Village, there must be a unified country to guarantee it.
Otherwise, Xiangzhou will always be affected by the war.
"Tongxi, you're ruining the mood again. We both know about this." Su Ruoxue patted Lin Tongxi to express her dissatisfaction.
The cold wind blew through the entrance of the dilapidated temple, irritating Lin Tongxi's wound and causing him pain.
If Su Ruoxue were here...this minor injury might heal quickly.
Wait...Su Ruoxue?
Lin Tongxi remembered something particularly important—he must remind Guangyang County to be prepared as soon as possible!
As for the current situation, County Lieutenant Lu has dealt with the two county officials, Chen Yunxuan and Lei Liquan.
In order to monopolize power, the next step will inevitably be to eliminate dissidents and crack down on forces that disobey him!
Moreover, County Magistrate Lu will certainly announce to the public that Lin Tongxi and Chen Yunxuan are dead, which will undoubtedly deal a blow to the forces centered around them!
There was no time to lose, so Lin Tongxi immediately used [remote communication].
At the same time, Su Ruoxue still couldn't fall asleep, always feeling that something bad was going to happen.
She had no choice but to get up, open the window, and look at the white moonlight outside.
Every time she looked at the moon, she would think of the peaceful and harmonious days in Qingshi Village.
Just as she was enjoying the moonlight, a voice in her head reminded her to close her eyes.
Could it be the news from Lin Tongxi?
Su Ruoxue immediately closed her eyes and sensed the news from Lin Tongxi.
Countless strokes finally merged into five words: Beware of Lu Fengyu!
