Chapter 324 Visiting My Brother at the Military Camp
"Susu, go and rest for a while. There's a horse race this afternoon, and we need you to come along." Yuan Hongqu ignored Liu Qianrou.
“Mr. Yuan, I took some energy-boosting pills and I’m feeling great! Tonight, I used Lightning and Thunder to search for Miss Liu. They followed her quite a distance. I’ll go and settle them down first.”
Lan Su showed no signs of fatigue; her eyes were even filled with excitement.
"Mr. Yuan, how did you train these dogs? They can even understand human speech. It's all thanks to them that we were able to find Miss Liu so quickly."
"We'll talk about that later. First, untie Liu Qianrou's vagina. She looks like she's asleep." The two were speaking quite loudly, but Liu Qianrou didn't make a sound.
Yuan Hongqu secretly wanted Liu Qianrou to learn a lesson, but she never expected that Liu Qianrou would get into any serious trouble.
“I put her to sleep, and she slept the whole way,” Lan Su said smugly, patting Liu Qianrou a few times. “She woke up in a little while. When I found her, she was being chased by two wolves. Luckily, there were only two. She usually practices some martial arts, otherwise she would have been injured tonight.”
As soon as Lan Su finished speaking, Liu Qianrou turned over and sat up, her movements so swift that she didn't look like she had just woken up at all.
"Dean? How did I get here? Did I kill the wolf?" Liu Qianrou asked anxiously.
"I killed the wolf; you were almost eaten by it," Lan Su said coolly, then turned to Yuan Hongqu.
"Mr. Yuan, this girl ran to the military camp in the middle of the night. Could she be a spy? Why don't we send her back to the capital and let the Ministry of War interrogate her properly?"
Lan Su had witnessed such things before, so when she learned that Liu Qianrou was going to the military camp, she immediately struck her acupoints and brought her back on horseback without saying a word.
"No, my Liu family is full of loyal martyrs, and you, a mere girl, have no right to spout nonsense!" Upon hearing this, Liu Qianrou jumped up like a rooster with its feathers bristling and threw a punch at Lan Su.
Lan Su gave a mocking laugh, and before Liu Qianrou's fist even reached her, she casually swung her hand, causing Liu Qianrou to freeze in her punching stance.
“Mr. Yuan, she can speak. Please feel free to ask me anything. I’m leaving now.” Lan Su picked up the snacks on the table and left the tent.
"Susu, tell Xiangtao what you want to eat for breakfast. Those who participated in finding Liu Qianrou last night will get an extra meal."
"Okay!" Lan Su replied cheerfully. She rarely had the chance to order food alone, so this time her hard work paid off!
Inside the tent, Mi Ling and Xu Yun had been observing Liu Qianrou for a while. After Lan Su pressed her acupoints again, although she could speak, she kept her mouth tightly shut and didn't say a word.
"Liu Qianrou, by now you should know that I never wanted you in this team from the beginning." Yuan Hongqu's voice was calm, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
Liu Qianrou naturally didn't understand. She just stared wide-eyed at Yuan Hongqu, wanting to argue with her, but then she remembered Lan Su's mockery earlier, so she kept quiet and refused to speak! No matter what the dean asked, she wouldn't say a word!
"Your mother repeatedly assured me that you wouldn't cause any trouble, that you wouldn't make things difficult, saying that you were born on the grasslands and only went to the capital when you were two or three years old. She said that maybe a trip to the grasslands would help you regain that missing bit of common sense..."
"That's why I agreed to let you come to the grasslands with me, but I never expected that on your first night there, you would sneak out alone just because you were angry with Daiyu, and even go to the border military camp. I will tell your family the whole story..."
"No, Dean, I want to go to the military camp to see my brother. He's in the border camp." Liu Qianrou became anxious as soon as she heard Yuan Hongqu say that she was going to tell the Liu family.
"My brother had a falling out with the family five years ago and joined the army. I haven't seen him once in the past five years... I just want to go to the military camp to see my brother." Liu Qianrou pouted, feeling very aggrieved.
“I didn’t mean to be angry with Daiyu. Daiyu was right to say I was impulsive. I was angry at the time, but by evening I realized I was wrong. I originally wanted to go find Daiyu, but I heard someone say that the border camp seems to be setting off soon, like they’re going to war. I was afraid that if I went too late, I wouldn’t be able to see my brother, so…”
"Granny, I have never seen Sister Liu so heartbroken. Why don't we have someone escort her to the military camp to see her brother?"
Daiyu lifted the curtain and came in. She had just finished dressing and her hair was still loose and draped over her shoulders.
When she woke up in the morning, she didn't see Yuan Hongqu. After asking Zijuan, she learned that Yuan Hongqu had gone out in the middle of the night and hadn't come back. She rushed out and saw a sound coming from the tent next to her. Just as she got to the door, she heard Liu Qianrou's choked voice.
Upon hearing this, Daiyu's compassion was immediately stirred.
"Without official documents, going to the border military camp without any reason, or even looking for someone, is a serious matter. This is not something to be taken lightly. Princess Lin, this is not something to be done." Mi Ling didn't wait for Yuan Hongqu's reply before immediately pointing out the seriousness of the situation.
“That’s right, Princess Lin. Our academy doesn’t know anyone in the military camp. Without an introduction, it will be extremely difficult to find someone among hundreds of thousands of soldiers,” Xu Yun advised.
They all knew that the dean would do everything he could to fulfill the request made to Princess Lin, but this time it involved the military camp, a place their academy had never been involved in before.
Liu Qianrou looked at Daiyu with teary eyes.
“Sister Lin, I haven’t seen my brother for five years. When he had a falling out with the family, he even said he was severing ties. Sometimes I see Mother missing my brother when I’m at home, but she doesn’t dare to mention it because of Grandfather and Father. I want to ask my brother why he had a falling out with the family and why he has been gone for so many years without any news. Does he really not want us anymore?”
“Sister Liu,” Daiyu said, taking a handkerchief to wipe Liu Qianrou’s tears, but she noticed that Liu Qianrou was standing stiffly in a strange posture. She had witnessed Lan Su’s acupuncture skills, but since Lan Su had acupunctured Sister Liu’s acupoints and the nanny had not stopped her, it was obviously because she was afraid that Sister Liu would hurt herself again due to emotional distress.
Daiyu wiped away her tears and said softly, "We've been on the grasslands these past few days, not far from the border camp. Why don't we scout around while sending a letter to the capital, asking your family to get us a visiting card for the military camp? It shouldn't be too difficult. Then you can go there openly with the card, wouldn't that be better?"
"I didn't dare let my family know that I secretly went to visit my brother," Liu Qianrou said with a helpless expression.
"Granny, could the academy ask the Ministry of War to write an introduction letter? We've heard that our repeating crossbows are very useful, and they've already been sent to the military camps." Daiyu turned to Yuan Hongqu and asked.
Mi Ling and Xu Yun were unaware of the repeating crossbow incident, and even if they had known, they wouldn't have revealed that the military camp and their academy had no connection.
Yuan Hongqu nodded.
"Let's find out what really happened first. If we really have to go to the military camp, I'll make the arrangements."
Mi Ling and Xu Yun facepalmed: "We heard that Princess Lin wanted the Star Dean but not the Moon. It's true!"
