Shen Mengting fell into memories.

After the death of his father, Marshal Shen Haiteng, the compromises in the Kingdom of Saran grew even more. It seems that there is no one to control them anymore, and they are trying to promote the friendship between Saran and the Sauron Empire.

"Don't get involved in disputes between major powers, and be careful of being used as a pawn. We need to be able to navigate the various countries of Cellos with ease, and we must not go to either side. ”

This was probably the hottest sentence among the officials of Saran that year.

There are even some compromisers who throw out the rhetoric that they belong to the same race as humans, and they promote the statement that humanity can only be great if it is united, and many civilians believe that the Sauron Empire is on the side of justice. At that time, because King Wei Tianwen was still young, he was unable to deal with these matters quickly, which led to the incident in which many Saranites demanded a merger with Sauron.

It was under these circumstances that Vice Minister Jiang Yuanhe decided to resign and return to his hometown.

"I can't accept this situation of being boiled frogs in warm water, and I can't accept watching my country being toyed with by other countries. Therefore, I have decided to resign from the post of vice minister and let someone else take the place!" Jiang Yuanhe directly said at the meeting of officials.

Later, in a confrontation in the palace, Shen Mengting was fortunate to come into contact with the dialogue between Yang Jiening and Jiang Yuanhe.

Uncle Yang Jiening seemed to be begging him to stay, and he kept tapping his staff to the ground with a sad face

"Why are you leaving! It's because the current situation of the country is not second, so you should stay!"

"No, I insist on leaving, so don't stop me. Rather than working with compromisers, it's better to go away. ”

"However, after you leave, the doctor's strength will be even weaker. The doctors of Saran can't live without your teaching!"

"Don't keep my seniors, I'm determined to go! I can't accept working with those compromisers. So, I decided to run away. I'm sorry! I have failed Marshal Shen Haiteng's entrustment. I'm sorry!"

At that time, Uncle Jiang Yuanhe had already decided to leave, and it was useless to persuade anyone.

In the next few days, this man, who had the best strength in medicine, finally left Kiyose Castle. Since then, the professional training of doctors in the Kingdom of Saran has completely begun to slump.

Back in reality, Shen Mengting was still a little unwilling in her heart. She was annoyed that Uncle Jiang Yuanhe had left so irresponsibly, and remembered that he had promised Shen Haiteng to defend the country like this. However, after thinking about it carefully, Shen Mengting also understood what this doctor did in the first place.

Every moment he is accused and persecuted by those compromisers, and he has to watch his country weaken day by day. Jiang Yuanhe has this heart, and he doesn't have the strength to change anything. So, escaping seems to be the best way to go.

After this, Shen Mengting heard that Uncle Jiang Yuanhe had lived in seclusion in Arakawa Town, which was a small and medium-sized town. About six years ago, Shen Mengting also went with Uncle Yang Jiening. At that time, it was quite speculative to talk with Jiang Yuanhe's father and daughter. They talked about everything, but at one point, Uncle Jiang Yuanhe kept avoiding it.

That is about the affairs of the Kingdom of Saran, and he will not ask for a little information about Kiyose Castle. In short, Uncle Jiang Yuanhe is completely secluded.

Thinking about it, drowsiness also hit, and Shen Mengting began to slowly close her eyes.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already the next morning. Shen Mengting stood up and stretched out in the sunlight outside.

At this time, there was a knock at the door. Shen Mengting hurriedly responded,

"Hey, Sister Mengting!" It was Jiang Jingwen's voice, "Are you up?"

"Oh, get up right away!" Shen Mengting got up by herself, but when she saw Qian Hao and Zhao Yu who were still asleep, she showed a little disdain in her sleepless manner.

"Oh, then I see. Father asked me to call you, and when you get up, come to the hall! Father has already prepared breakfast. ”

"Breakfast?" Zhao Yu suddenly opened his eyes, he quickly got off the long table, and kept blinking to look around.

"Hey, what are you kid doing?" Shen Mengting couldn't help but squint at him.

Zhao Yu was stunned, "Huh, isn't there breakfast?"

Shen Mengting shook her head quickly, and she shouted to Jiang Jingwen outside the door: "Xiaowen, I know." We'll go right away. ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you in the hall!" Jiang Jingwen's brisk voice rang out at the door, followed by the sound of walking from near and far.

After Jiang Jingwen left, Shen Mengting took a deep breath, and she said to Zhao Yu: "You better call that Qian Hao to get up! ”

Zhao Yu said a cowardly word after hearing this, he slowly came to a long table somewhere, and pushed Qian Hao, who was sleeping, with his hand.

After Qian Hao twitched his body, he suddenly opened his eyes. At the same time, he did not forget to lick his lips with his tongue.

"Qian Hao, wake up, it's time to have breakfast outside!"

Qian Hao hesitated at first, and then quickly shook his head, "Wow! It's time for breakfast!" he clasped his hands together and rubbed them together, "That's good!" His neck was still shrunk.

"If you know it's good, hurry up!" Shen Mengting said while her eyes were white, and she straightened up her clothes.

So, after tidying up a little, the three of them walked out of the room.

"So...... Where's the hall?" Qian Hao looked around in the corridor, "Is it in the medical hall outside?"

Shen Mengting didn't know how to answer, but fortunately, a figure suddenly burst out, allowing them to get an answer.

Jiang Jingwen was standing at the end of the corridor, and she was still looking at this side with an innocent look, "Wow...... You're all up, and I want to call you again?"

"Xiaowen, where is your father?"

"He's waiting for you in the hall."

Jiang Jingwen led the three of them to the living room of the room. The living room is not too large, but a large table in the center has the taste of receiving guests.

Several large bowls are placed on the table, which contain steamed buns and white porridge. Of course, some pickles are still essential to be placed on top. Although these things are not rich things, for Zhao Yu, who has been hungry for many days, it is as if he has seen the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and he swallows saliva straight into his stomach.

Jiang Yuanhe sat at the table, as if he was looking at some book. Shen Mengting squinted carefully and found that it was a book about doctors.

After seeing Shen Mengting and her party coming, Jiang Yuanhe put down his books and got up to greet them.

"You're all up!"

"Yes, uncle!" Shen Mengting bowed to Jiang Yuanhe.

"Sit down!" Jiang Yuanhe beckoned everyone to sit down, "It was too late yesterday, and I couldn't treat you properly." ”

"Uncle is serious, it's us juniors who have come thousands of miles to disturb you. ”

"No, how can Mengting's coming say that it is disturbing! Okay, don't talk too much, sit down!"

With Jiang Yuanhe's wave, the group, including Jiang Jingwen, also sat down.

As soon as Qian Hao sat down, he saw the dishes and chopsticks placed in front of him. There are also some steamed buns and pastries in the bowl. He smiled awkwardly, thinking that this doctor was too strange, how could anyone serve breakfast to a guest?

In order to hide his mood, Qian Hao lowered his head and touched the tip of his nose with his hand.

Zhao Yu didn't show anything else, he seemed to be about to reach out and grab the steamed buns on the table. However, when he saw that Shen Mengting didn't make a move, he didn't dare to take half a step and sit upright honestly.

"To put it bluntly, I can't greet you with anything good. So......" Jiang Yuanhe swept his arm towards the table, "Only these coarse tea and light rice are for you to enjoy, I hope you can understand!"

"Uncle is so polite, I am already very grateful that you can give us something to eat. ”

"Then hurry up and eat! I know you're all hungry. ”

Shen Mengting nodded, and after seeing her master pick up the dishes and chopsticks, she also greeted her two companions, "Let's eat!

As soon as Zhao Yu heard the order, he quickly glanced at both sides, he quickly picked up a steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth. If you chew too much, the steamed bun will give off a sweet taste, and it is also very smooth and delicious in the mouth.

"Hey, you won't eat slowly!" Qian Hao pointed at Zhao Yu, who was gobbling it up, with his chopsticks.

"He's already hungry and hasn't rested for many days!" Shen Mengting looked at the child with pity.

"You must have suffered a lot!" Jiang Yuanhe looked at the three people at the table, "Not only do you have to avoid being chased and killed, but you also have to walk hard in the mountains and wilderness." ”

Zhao Yu nodded after hearing this, but because his mouth was stuffed with things, he couldn't speak.

"Uncle, bitterness is certain, but there is no way to do it. Shen Mengting pillowed one hand on the table. Then, she stared directly at her Uncle Jiang Yuanhe, and deliberately amplified the volume, "For the country, we are for the country." What about being a little bitter? Don't say bitterness, even if it's a sacrifice of life, it's worth it. ”

Jiang Yuanhe understood what Shen Mengting meant, and he chose not to make eye contact with her.

Jiang Jingwen also seemed to have discovered something, she poked the chopsticks into her mouth, stared at her eyes like copper bells, and began to keep looking at her father and her sister Mengting.

The atmosphere seemed a little awkward, and there was a brief silence. After a long time, Jiang Yuanhe's deep middle-aged voice still sounded again.

"So, Mengting. What are you going to do next?" Probably thinking that his question was a bit general, Jiang Yuanhe cleared his throat and moved his mouth again, "You told me some facts yesterday, and I was really shocked. So I'm going to ask you now, what are you going to do in the future?"

Shen Mengting thought for a while. After about a few seconds, she looked at Jiang Yuanhe firmly:

"I decided to leave for Kiyose Castle as soon as I rested. I must hurry up and show the contents of the document to the King, and then prepare him to resist the Sauron Empire!"

"Is that so?" Jiang Yuanhe raised his head slightly when he heard this, his eyes seemed to be narrowing. But soon, his eyes widened, "But...... Is this really useful? I know that Kiyose Castle is currently under the control of the Compromisers, who don't seem to believe that Sauron will invade. ”

"That's why I'm going to hold the documents tightly. As long as you have this. Shen Mengting patted her left chest, "You can blow the arrogance of those compromisers and tell the people of the whole country that the ambitions of the Sauron Empire have always existed." In this way, the hardliners can regain the initiative. ”

Shen Mengting said it so sonorously and forcefully, that Qian Hao admired her step-by-step plan.

Following this woman is really right, Qian Hao ate the porridge in the bowl, and did not forget to use chopsticks to pick a few pickles to fill his mouth.

Jiang Yuanhe glanced at Shen Mengting with a calm look, and he still had a chuckling expression, "Then I wish you success and arrive at Qingse City to complete the task as soon as possible." ”

"Uncle, rest assured, Mengting will definitely live up to expectations. Shen Mengting has always been serious, and she also made a gesture of clenching her fists.

"But Mengting, I'm still a little worried about you now, because there are still Sauron's pursuers, so your situation is still very dangerous. Especially that Zhang Zhijie, I know his strength very well. If you start again, I'm afraid you won't be opponents!"

As soon as he heard Zhang Zhijie's name, Zhao Yu, who was eating porridge in a big gulp, also stopped. He instantly recalled the scenes of contact with this man, especially in the Motel Hotel in Fukui Town.

Jiang Yuanhe noticed Zhao Yu's strangeness, and he also looked at Zhao Yu for a long time.

"Yes, it's dangerous. We've fought with them before, and we've been defeated. So, we must not go toe-to-toe with them now. We must avoid them and choose an unusual path that they would not have guessed to get to Kiyose Castle. That's my plan!"

Jiang Yuanhe seemed to be very satisfied after hearing this, he exhaled his breath and nodded in approval by the way, "Well, it's a good idea." Now that you know that the enemy is strong, choose to avoid its edge to achieve your goal. Mengting, your idea is really good. ”

"I was helpless. ”

"Then you can live here in peace for a few days!" Jiang Yuanhe straightened his upper body and leaned his back on the chair, "Uncle can't help you much, but it's okay to give you a safe place to live." You can stay here as long as you want, and you can leave whenever you want!"

When she heard that Shen Mengting and the others could stay here for a long time, Jiang Jingwen didn't mention how happy she was. She stretched out her hand and shook Shen Mengting's arm, and let out a playful tone, "Okay! Sister Mengting is going to live in our house for a long time, which is great." ”

However, Shen Mengting twitched the corners of her mouth slightly embarrassed, "Uncle...... But I'm afraid I won't be able to stay here for long. Because time is still relatively urgent for us. We need to leave for Kiyose Castle immediately. Whenever a day late. It means one less day for the country to prepare.

Jiang Jingwen seemed to be very depressed after hearing this, she pursed her lips and put her chopsticks on the bowl.

Jiang Yuanhe looked thoughtful, and a long hum sound came out of his throat. Then, he licked his lips and delusionally thought to Shen Mengting with his eyelids: "But no matter how anxious you are, it's useless! You know, a lot of time has passed since the document was issued." So, I think instead of trying to speed up, you should think about how you can get to Kiyose Castle in the safest way!"

"Oh, this ......" Listening to Jiang Yuanhe's words, Shen Mengting lowered her head.

"Mengting! I think what you should think about most at the moment is not the imminent invasion of the Sauron Empire, but the pursuit of those Sauron pursuers. Imagine that no matter how fast you are, if you are met by the enemy before you go to Kiyose Castle. What are you going to do then?"

"This ......" Shen Mengting rolled her eyes.

"Besides, you still have injuries!" Speaking of this, Jiang Yuanhe glanced at the location of Qian Hao and Zhao Yu one after another, "One of them is still seriously injured, although I treated him last night, his leg must still be very inconvenient." ”

After listening to Dr. Jiang Yuanhe's words, Zhao Yu quickly leaned down and massaged his left leg. Indeed, as the doctor said, although it does not affect walking and running, it is still a little stiff when moving.

Another archer was also shot by an icicle on his left shoulder. Coupled with many days of travel, although it can be said that his body is young, there is no major problem. But if there is another high-intensity rush, he will definitely collapse. Jiang Yuanhe and Qian Hao looked at each other, and their eyes reflected each other.

Shen Mengting seemed to be moved, she touched her chin, judging from the constantly shaking eyes, she was thinking intensely.

Jiang Jingwen next to her was still helping to guide, "Yes, Sister Mengting, you can stay in our house for a few more days! Not to mention that they are injured, you must not be very comfortable!"

"Huh?" Shen Mengting couldn't help but look at Jiang Jingwen suspiciously.

"Jingwen is right, you must have suffered a blow when you met those Sauron pursuers!"

was told by Uncle Jiang Yuanhe like this, Shen Mengting unconsciously pressed her right arm with her left hand. During those rounds of sword merger with the Sauronians, her arm muscles were already overloaded.

"I don't want to hurry up, anyway, I really don't want to meet those Saurons again. Qian Hao nibbled on a steamed bun. I don't know if it's because the steamed buns don't taste good, or if it's because of his disgust with the Saurons. In short, his facial features were violently distorted, "Those expert enemies...... Ah...... It's horrible!"

Shen Mengting seemed to be a little shaken, and her already tense body was gradually relaxing.

"Mengting! Just like curing a disease, for us doctors, in the process of treating injuries and patients, we will first consider which is the most important and which is secondary. The important thing must always come first, otherwise it is putting the cart before the horse. Jiang Yuanhe said unhurriedly, "It's okay to go to Qingse City a few days late!" But if you meet Zhang Zhijie and them, ......."

Jiang Yuanhe didn't say what happened next, but judging from his tight face, there was definitely nothing good to say after that.

Shen Mengting let out a long sigh: It's better to be late than never be able to achieve it. Besides, she didn't think it was too late to delay for a few days.

Therefore, Shen Mengting's heart has shifted in the direction of staying for a few more days.

"I was just thinking, Zhang Zhijie, they must be searching for you now! They must be unwilling to let you go before they do, so your current situation is still very dangerous. If you go to Kiyose Castle now, you may be caught by an enemy who is anxiously searching. And if you rest for a few days, the enemy will be overwhelmed because they can't find you. ”

Uncle Jiang Yuanhe's words are extremely reasonable. So, Shen Mengting nodded after rolling her eyes.

"Yes, Uncle is right! For us, the most urgent thing at the moment is to think about safety, otherwise everything will be in vain!"

Hearing Shen Mengting say this, the first person to jump out to celebrate was Jiang Jingwen. Not to mention how happy this girl was, she stretched out her arms as if she was holding a bar, "Ah! Great, Sister Mengting is going to live in my house, great, great!"

Qian Hao also relaxed a lot, he stuffed the whole steamed bun into his mouth, and there was an uncontrollable smile. Not only can you recuperate here, but the most important thing is of course the doctor's daughter!

As far as Zhao Yu is concerned, he seems to be completely indifferent. Saran's mission wasn't the first priority, he just wanted to get revenge quickly. Therefore, he did not reveal any attitude.
