Chapter 181: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow
On the wide and flat official road, a caravan composed of more than 100 people and dozens of carriages marched mightily.
In the carriage, Yan Ran was changing the wound medicine for Wen Rong'an.
She didn't know how many times she complained: "I let you carry a blood bag with pig blood with you, just make a show, you don't listen!" β
Wen Rongan patiently explained: "I'm worried that my fellow Yu Linwei will find a flaw and affect our plan. β
Yan Ran snorted, and then looked out of the car window angrily: "That Zhang Jian is too, he dares to really stab you!" β
Zhang Qian, who was far away from the front to lead the way, suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck, and knew that Yan Ran must be scolding him again.
He stroked his chest and said that he was very aggrieved, and the kick that Wen Rongan kicked was also very painful!
Zhang Jian was Yan Ran's uncle, General Zhang's subordinate, and he had come to the vicinity of Anyang a few days earlier with a team of men and horses as a licensed merchant, and took over the goods that Yan Ran had helped transport out of the city.
The assassins were in their disguise, and since Concubine Yun already knew about it, they only had to drag down the dozen or so Yu Lin Guards.
These people are all veterans of the battlefield, and they are extraordinary, and dealing with those Yu Linwei, who are children of the family, is like catching cat and mouse, teasing and playing.
So, there were no casualties, and they weren't caught.
Yan Ran's escape route was designed in advance, and someone answered him at the bottom of the cliff, and they deliberately left clues to guide the government to track down.
Just when the government followed those clues, they had already entered the secret passage set up by Concubine Yun, and after changing their outfits, they went directly to the official passage from the other exit of the secret passage, and turned into merchants.
Even if the officers and soldiers searched the entire mountain, where would they go to capture the assassins?
Poor Yan Yao thought that she had revenge for killing her mother, but she didn't know that she was just a chess piece in Yan Ran's hands from beginning to end.
Wen Rong'an saw that Yan Ran was still displeased, and raised his arm to show her: "It's just a little skin injury, it's not in the way." β
Yan Ran hurriedly held Wen Rongan's arm, for fear that he would tear the wound due to too much movement, and hurriedly said, "Don't move!" β
Wen Rong'an put down her arm like a stream, took Yan Ran's hand, and interlocked her fingers.
Yan Ran turned her head to the other side and refused to pay attention to him.
Wen Rongan stepped forward and said softly: "For the sake of me running away from marriage with you, don't be angry with me." β
Yan Ran was suddenly laughed angrily, is he letting her dissipate her anger, it is obviously adding fuel to the fire, right?
Yan Ran turned his head sharply and shouted angrily: "Yes, yes, yes, I thought I was smart, I didn't listen to you, and now I am cocooned and self-bound, and I can't avoid entering the palace, so I can only escape!" β
Yan Ran was full of anger, but the moment she turned her head, she was unexpectedly pecked on the face by Wen Rongan, and she was stunned.
Wen Rongan wrapped Yan Ran in his arms and asked, "Tell me, when did you start planning to go to Bac Ninh?" β
Fang Cai's words are just jokes.
Wen Rongan knew that Yan Ran should have had this plan very early.
Everything she does is to push things forward according to her expectations, so as to achieve the ultimate goal step by step.
Yan Ran was so troubled by Wen Rong'an, calmed down, and looked at him seriously: "Cousin, do you remember the first time we met?" β
Wen Rongan was slightly stunned and nodded.
How could he forget, the girl who looked sad and desperate all over her body, the girl who could call his name the first time they met, the girl who said she was going to elope with him.
Yan Ran reached out and hugged Wen Rong'an's neck, narrowed the distance between the two, and smiled slyly: "Cousin, I said that I want to elope with you, and I will definitely do it!"
Wen Rong'an was stunned, and his heart couldn't calm down for a long time.
Although he was shocked that Yan Ran had this plan so early, but in retrospect, many of her previous incomprehensible actions could be explained.
She began to order a large number of goods early on, not for the purpose of really trading, but to cover up the identities of these hundred or so people.
She predicted that the situation in the world might change, and sure enough, Emperor Sheng's father and son offended King Yongning fiercely, and dared to let him go back with resentment.
She also mentioned the power of the military, and I think it was also for this.
At that time, he thought that Yan Ran was too naΓ―ve, and he never thought that she would really take him on the journey to Bac Ninh.
Wen Rongan was stunned for a long time and asked, "Why?" β
Yan Ran was asked, where to start answering this question?
Yan Ran is bound to go to Bac Ninh for many reasons.
First of all, her revenge plan is halfway completed, and the next people to deal with are Minyang and Xiao Zun.
One of these two is the eldest princess and the other is the second prince, and the force behind them is the imperial power.
Yan Ran and Wen Rongan have no power or power, and it is a fool's dream to want to rely on their own strength to fight alone and bring them down.
You must know that the hierarchy of classes is difficult to break and leapfrog, let alone the highest class in the world - imperial power.
Therefore, she has to accumulate strength, and it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years.
What's more, if King Yongning rebelled like in her previous life, she didn't want Wen Rongan to get involved again, and worked hard to make wedding dresses for others.
She wanted to see how far Xiao Zun could go without Wen Rong'an's advice.
Secondly, Yan Ran wants to go to Bac Ninh to save the lives of her uncle's family.
In his previous life, Yan Ran lost contact with his uncle under the intervention of the Wen family, and although he later regained contact, he never saw each other again.
Because all of his uncle's family died of illness suddenly, only his cousin was left, leading the Bac Ninh Army to garrison the border for several years.
But in the end, when he learned that she was imprisoned by Xiao Zun and wanted to rescue her, he was killed by Xiao Zun.
Yan Ran didn't know why her uncle's family died, and even the famous miracle doctor in Beining couldn't treat it, so she couldn't warn in advance.
She could only go to Bac Ninh in person to figure out the reason, save her uncle's family, and avoid the tragedy of her previous life.
Finally, and most importantly.
Yan Ran blinked her eyes and said to Wen Rong'an, "Treat you." β
Wen Rongan was stunned again, Yan Ran took him to Bac Ninh to treat him, why didn't he know?
Yan Ran said: "There is a divine doctor in Beining, with superb medical skills, known as being able to raise the dead and flesh and bones. The weakness in your body must be completely eradicated, otherwise you will lose your lifespan. My half-baked medical skills can't cure you, so I can only ask for a miracle doctor! β
Wen Rong'an was stunned: "You have never told me about this. β
Yan Ran said indifferently: "Say it or not, you have to follow me anyway!" β
Yan Ran said, suddenly thought of something, and said nervously: "Cousin, you shouldn't regret it, right?" β
Wen Rongan didn't react: "What do you regret?" β
Yan Ran said sullenly: "I regret losing everything and eloped with me, you have entered the Yulin Guard, and you have quietly become the confidant of the saint, and a good future is waiting for you......"
Wen Rong'an listened to Yan Ran's sour tone, and suddenly smiled, a shallow and faint smile, but extremely gentle.
Yan Ran looked at his moon-like face stupidly, forgetting what he was about to say.
Wen Rongan held Yan Ran's face with both hands and said sincerely: "I originally had nothing, I only had you." I have nothing to lose but you. β
Yan Ran looked at Wen Rong'an's affectionate eyes, and fell into it deeply, unable to extricate herself.
In order to hurry, the group traveled under the stars and nights, passing through the town and did not stay, but only rested in the wilderness.
A few days later, they finally completely walked out of the jurisdiction of Anyang and came to Yuzhou City.
Yan Ran said to Wen Rong'an: "Cousin, we are going to stay in Yuzhou for a few days, have a good rest, and wait for Xuanqing and them to come and meet us by the way." β
When Yan Ran brought Xuanqing, Xuanyue and Xianluo back to Yan's mansion, their external identities were all sent by General Zhang from Bac Ninh.
Now, Yan Ran is gone, they have no master, and they are not from the Yan Mansion, so they naturally want to return to Bac Ninh.
At that time, Fanmo and Wenqi will also come with them.
Fanmo's identity was originally unknown to outsiders, and whether he disappeared or not would not attract attention.
He stayed in Anyang temporarily in order to find out the follow-up situation and inform Wen Rong'an in time.
As for Wen Qi, Wen Rong'an, who was an eyesore, died anyway, and Minyang didn't care about the life or death of a subordinate, and it was easy for him to leave.
The city of Yuzhou is not large, nor is it a traffic fortress, there are very few people coming and going, and many inns are empty.
Due to the large number of people and goods, Zhang Jian simply chartered an entire inn, which made the shopkeeper of the inn so happy that he couldn't see his teeth.
Wen Rongan stepped out of the carriage and reached out to help Yan Ran.
Qingxuan stepped forward and called, "Master, madam." β
Wen Rong'an was stunned, Yan Ran had already jumped out of the carriage, grabbed his arm, and called sweetly: "Husband~"
When Wen Rong'an heard this, his whole person froze, and his eyes wandered.
Yan Ran looked at Wen Rong'an's unpredictable expression, it was rare to see that there would be so many expressions on his face at the same time, and she couldn't help but snicker in her heart, and said in a low voice: "Cousin, when we go out, we always have to hide our identities, and there is nothing more suitable than pretending to be a husband and wife." β
Wen Rong calmed down, as if he was very calm and calmly responded: "Hmm." β
But as everyone knows, Yan Ran's "husband" made half of his body numb, his nervous palms were sweaty, and he didn't even dare to look at her.
It is rare for the shopkeeper of the inn to receive such a large order of business, and he greets him very attentively, and also takes the initiative to introduce the humanistic customs and anecdotes of Yuzhou to everyone.
"Speaking of interesting facts, there is also a recent incident. It is said that the famous Guangling trick Jiang Sijuan, because he offended the powerful, he couldn't stay in Guangling, and when he arrived in our Yuzhou City, he threw himself under the door of Shuiyue Tower. A few days ago, she participated in the Oiran Contest held by Shuiyue Tower, but unfortunately lost to the light smoke girl. Hey, one of them, Master Hu, was dissatisfied with this result, and actually sued Shui Yuelou to the government office, shouting for a re-election. You say, it's ridiculous......"
Jiang Siwan?
Hearing this name, Yan Ran's face immediately fell.
How did I meet her by coincidence, it's really a narrow road, oh no, it's a narrow road for rivals!
