Chapter 280 Miss Shen, you are finally back
After Village Chief Wu finished speaking, he paused and said, "I don't think they are ordinary bandits at all. They are more like..."
When Village Chief Wu said this, his pupils suddenly shrank and he looked at Shen Ruolan in a daze. Could it be that it was what he thought?
"What does it look more like?" Shen Ruolan asked the dazed Village Chief Wu.
Village Chief Wu came back to his senses and said in horror: "Madam Shen, they are more like a group of officers and soldiers, a group of officers and soldiers from the Xia Kingdom."
On the way, he looked at Shen Ruolan and asked, "Madam Shen, do you think Xia Kingdom is going to go to war with Bei Ming?"
After hearing what Village Chief Wu said, Shen Ruolan suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She asked Village Chief Wu, "Uncle Wu, did you go to Cangling City to report to the garrison general?"
Village Chief Wu said, "We went there. General Su told us to wait for a while until he has a good plan and then go and rescue our child."
Shen Ruolan nodded and said, "Uncle Wu, please wait at home for a while. I will go to Cangling City to ask General Su for help and see if he has any better ideas."
Village Chief Wu responded to Shen Ruolan with a grateful look on his face: "Hey, Madam Shen, thank you for your hard work. We are all waiting for you to come back home."
"Okay," Shen Ruolan said, and then she told Ji Han, "Ji Han, let's walk a little longer before it gets dark."
"Yes, master." After Ji Han finished speaking, he led the way and left.
Village Chief Wu looked at Shen Ruolan's departing back and kept reminding her, "Madam Shen, you must help us!"
Shen Ruolan turned around and said to Village Chief Wu: "Uncle Wu, please go back. I will do my best."
Duan Ye, who was on the stretcher, glanced at the other side of the river not far away and chatted with Shen Ruolan: "Now that Jiang Dichen is being entangled by the Yan State, I'm afraid the Xia State can't wait any longer."
Duan Ye was well aware of the secret competition between several countries, but he was not interested in worldly affairs and never worried about it.
Shen Ruolan, who was walking in front, told Duan Ye truthfully, "In fact, they were ready to make a move when Jiang Dichen was not entangled by Yan State. It was just that their plan happened to be discovered by me, so they had to wait for half a year. Now that Yan State and Bei Ming have gone to war, they probably don't want to wait any longer."
Duan Ye listened to Shen Ruolan's words, he pondered for a moment, and asked Shen Ruolan: "Have you ever thought about the countermeasures after the war?"
If the two countries really go to war, Shen Ruolan's Fuzhai may be safe for the time being, but when the two countries cease fire or one of the countries suddenly goes crazy, her Fuzhai will become the target of public criticism.
Shen Ruolan shook her head and said, "Not yet."
After saying that, she turned around and smiled at Duan Ye, and asked, "Mr. Duan, do you have any good suggestions on this matter?"
Duan Ye looked at Shen Ruolan deeply. Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, he thought for a moment and said, "I need to think about this carefully."
Shen Ruolan said: "Mr. Duan, if you come up with a good idea, remember to tell me as soon as possible."
"Naturally," Duan Ye said.
As long as it can help Shen Ruolan, Duan Ye will tell her as soon as possible.
In a certain courtyard in Cang Ling City, Jiang Qing covered his chest and coughed hard, gasping for breath. He looked as if he wanted to cough out all his lungs.
The servants around him kept patting his back, looking at him with concern and shouting, "Master!"
Jiang Qing, who was coughing, suddenly coughed up a large mouthful of blood.
The attendant was so frightened when he saw this that his face turned pale. He quickly said to his master, "Master, let's go back to the capital."
After Jiang Qing recovered, he looked at the blood on the ground, his face pale. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said to his attendant, "It's too late to return to Beijing now."
His body simply couldn't hold on until he returned to Beijing. Jiang Qing was filled with resentment at the thought of dying soon.
He hasn't taken that position yet, and hasn't dealt with Jiang Dichen yet, so how can he leave like this?
No, he didn't want to go like this. Even if he did, he wanted the culprits to accompany him.
When Jiang Qing thought of this, he stood up suddenly and said, "Someone, go get General Su."
Since he doesn't have much time left, he has to leave some things to do for his good brothers. Otherwise, wouldn't it be too unfair for him to die in vain?
"Yes, Master." The servant finished speaking and was about to turn around and leave when he heard Du Fang coming in from outside and said excitedly, "Master, Miss Shen has come to Cangling City."
When Jiang Qing heard that Shen Ruolan had come to Cang Ling City, he suddenly looked at Du Fang and asked, "Is she really coming to Cang Ling City?"
Du Xiang nodded vigorously to his master and replied, "Yes, they are outside the city gate right now, waiting in line to enter the city."
"What are you waiting for? Go and ask her to come in..." Jiang Qing was so excited that he started coughing violently as soon as he finished speaking.
Du Fang patted his master on the back and said, "Master, don't get too excited. Since Miss Shen has come to Cang Ling City, she will show you what she has done."
After a while, Jiang Qing recovered. He raised his hand to his subordinate and said, "I'm fine. Go and get her."
"Yes." Du Fang had no choice but to turn around and ask Shen Ruolan.
Outside the gate of Cang Ling City, Shen Ruolan and more than a hundred people were waiting in line to enter the city. When it was her turn, the soldier guarding the gate saw that she brought so many people with her. He frowned and asked her, "Who are you? Why did you bring so many people to Cang Ling City?"
Shen Ruolan said to the soldier guarding the gate: "Brother, I am a villager from Nanfeng Village. I came to the city to buy some daily necessities."
The soldier at the gate said to Shen Ruolan without hesitation: "No, you have too many people but too few passes. Only twenty people can enter at most."
Shen Ruolan heard that only twenty people could enter. She hesitated for a moment and said to the villagers behind her, "Lu Kai, you take everyone to wait outside the city. We will go in and come out after we are done."
Lu Kai responded to Shen Ruolan: "Yes, Master."
After Shen Ruolan arranged for Lu Kai, she said to Ji Han, "Ji Han, pick twenty people to follow us into the city."
"Yes, master." After Ji Han finished speaking, he picked out twenty people in order.
However, when the soldiers guarding the gate heard the people behind Shen Ruolan calling her "master", they looked at each other and one of them ran away tacitly.
Just when the soldiers at the gate wanted to continue to embarrass Shen Ruolan, Du Fang suddenly flew to the city gate, bowed to Shen Ruolan and said politely: "Miss Shen, you are finally back."
After saying this, he made a gesture of invitation to Shen Ruolan and said, "Miss Shen, my master has been waiting for you for a long time, please come in!"
Shen Ruolan looked at the man who suddenly appeared. Although she had a vague idea in her heart, she still looked at the man and asked, "Excuse me, who is your master?"
Du Fang paused for a moment and reminded Shen Ruolan cryptically, "In reply to Miss Shen, my master went to your house in February."
