Chapter 436: Everything is about to come to the surface
The night breeze blew softly, with a slight coolness. Shu Zhihan and Lu He stood up together and prepared to return to the General's Mansion.
Under the moonlight, the figures of the two were reflected on the bluestone path, which looked particularly elegant. The silence around was only the chirping of insects and the rustle of leaves, which added a bit of seclusion to the night.
Walking through a small forest, Green Lotus whispered, "Zhihan, why are you injured?" ”
Shu Zhihan smiled slightly, didn't speak, just clenched Lu He's hand. The two of them continued to walk, and the lights of the General's Mansion were already flickering in front of them.
Green Lotus thought she didn't want to speak, but heard her say: "Actually, I don't really know, we were sitting by the pond at that time, and I don't know where a strange man appeared, he didn't look like an ordinary bandit, and it seemed that the purpose was to kill us." ”
Shu Zhihan couldn't help but feel a shiver when she thought of the man's eyes.
The eyes were cold and fierce, as if a demon had come out of the abyss of hell, without a trace of emotion.
The man appeared and disappeared suddenly, as if everything was a dream.
However, the feeling of horror was deeply engraved in her heart. She knew that this was no ordinary bandit, but someone who wanted to take their lives.
Or, rather, they want to take their own lives.
Shu Zhihan thought of this possibility and immediately became nervous.
She grabbed Lu He's hand tightly and said eagerly, "We have to hurry back home, there must be no accidents." ”
Lu He felt Shu Zhihan's nervousness, and she also became nervous. She looked at Shu Zhihan's anxious eyes, nodded, and the two of them quickened their pace.
The night breeze blew gently, and the dresses of the two fluttered in the wind.
The moonlight sprinkled on the bluestone path, stretching the figures of the two long. It was still quiet, except for the footsteps and breathing of the two men.
Walking through a grove and through a bamboo forest, the lights of the General's Mansion are already flickering in front of you.
Shu Zhihan and Lu He finally breathed a sigh of relief, the two looked at each other and smiled, and walked into the general's mansion hand in hand.
As soon as they walked in, they saw Luo Jinyu and Meng Haowen planning to go out.
The two saw Shu Zhihan and Green Lotus returning safely, and their faces showed reassuring expressions.
Luo Jinyu stepped forward and asked with concern, "Zhihan, are you all right?" I've heard people say you're out, and I'm worried about me. ”
Meng Haowen also hurriedly walked over, looked at them and said, "What's going on?" Are you in any danger? ”
Shu Zhihan smiled slightly, shook her head, and said, "We're fine, don't worry." ”
Green Lotus also nodded, indicating that they were indeed fine.
The four of them got together, and the atmosphere was a little solemn.
The moonlight shines on the courtyard, shining everything brightly.
The night breeze blew softly, with a slight coolness.
Luo Jinyu didn't let them all go back to rest immediately, but pulled Shu Zhihan to sit on the edge of the stone table beside her.
He looked at her with concern in his eyes and asked, "Zhihan, you haven't told me yet, what happened before?" ”
Shu Zhihan was silent for a moment, and then told them everything that had happened by the pond before.
Her voice trembled slightly, but her eyes were determined.
When she described the strange man's eyes, Luo Jinyu and Meng Haowen's faces became extremely serious.
The moonlight sprinkled on the stone table, casting a faint white glow. The shadows of the four intersect on the stone table, as if forming a silhouette painting.
The night breeze blew gently, driving their hair and the corners of their clothes, and everything seemed so quiet and tense.
As night fell, the General's Mansion was silent. Luo Jinyu and Meng Haowen came to the study, and there was a dull atmosphere in the air. The two sat on wooden chairs in the study, facing the candlelight, and fell into deep thought.
Luo Jinyu's brows furrowed, and his eyes revealed an indescribable worry.
He picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, only to find that it was already cold.
He put down the teacup, looked at Meng Haowen, and said in a hoarse voice: "This matter is not trivial, we need to come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible." ”
Meng Haowen nodded, his eyes flashing with determination. He said in a deep voice: "I understand, but this matter needs to be considered in the long run. We first need to find out the identity of the strange man and the forces behind him. ”
At this time, Meng Haowu came in from outside the door, with a melancholy expression.
He looked at Luo Jinyu and Meng Haowen, sighed, and said, "I just got the news that there is an army outside the city that is slowly approaching. ”
Luo Jinyu and Meng Haowen glanced at each other, and they both understood in their hearts that the appearance of this strange man might be related to this matter.
And they must find out the truth as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
Meng Haowu sat on a chair beside him, holding his head in his hands, and fell into deep thought.
Luo Jinyu looked at him and couldn't help but feel a little worried. He knew Meng Haowu's personality very well and knew that he was an extremely responsible person, so he must be anxious at this time. And the three of them must work together to face this crisis together.
He opened his mouth and asked, "Meng Haowu, how is Miyue now?" ”
Meng Haowu raised his head, a trace of dazedness flashed in his eyes, and said, "She's fine, she's already woken up." ”
Hearing the news, Luo Jinyu nodded slightly.
The three of them sat in the study, thinking about how to deal with what was next.
At present, this general's mansion is not safe. A hint of firmness flashed in Luo Jinyu's eyes, and he spoke: "We must strengthen the guards in the mansion to ensure the safety of Zhihan and the others. ”
Meng Haowen nodded and added, "At the same time, we also have to find out the identity of that strange man and the forces behind him as soon as possible." ”
Meng Haowu looked at the two of them, his eyes flashing with determination. He stood up and said, "Okay, let's do it right away." I'm going to arrange guards to ensure the safety of the house. ”
With that, he turned and walked out of the study.
Luo Jinyu and Meng Haowen looked at his back, and they both knew in their hearts that this crisis had not passed, and they still needed to continue to work hard.
As night fell, the candlelight in the study flickered, and their figures cast long shadows on the walls.
They know that the coming days will be even more difficult, but they also know that they can only get through this crisis if they work together.
Meng Haowen thought for a while, looked at Luo Jinyu with a firm gaze, and said, "General, I think we should send Madame to the camp." ”
When Luo Jinyu heard this suggestion, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
He naturally understood Meng Haowen's worries, but in the current situation, he didn't want Zhihan to leave his side. However, he also knew that if something really happened, the camp would be relatively safer.
He was silent for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to send them over." But before we can do that, we have to make sure that the house is safe. Meng Haowen was relieved to see that Luo Jinyu agreed to his suggestion.
He knew that this decision was for the sake of Zhihan's safety. And they must also ensure the safety of the house so that they can send her away with confidence.
Meng Haowen nodded, turned around and walked out of the study.
He knew in his heart that the next days would be even more difficult, but they also knew that only by working together could they get through this crisis.
He walked through the courtyard, the moonlight shining on the bluestone slabs, glowing with a faint sheen.
He saw Green Lotus standing in the courtyard, and the moonlight shining on her face looked particularly soft.
He walked up to her and whispered, "Green Lotus, do you want to go to the camp with Zhihan?" Green Lotus looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
She didn't expect Meng Haowen to come to her, but then, she nodded slightly.
Meng Haowen looked at her and couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart. He took her hand and walked to the room.
On the second day, just after dawn, a carriage quietly drove out of the General's Mansion and headed in the direction of the camp.
In the carriage, Shu Zhihan and Green Lotus sat side by side, and their faces were a little pale.
They know it's for their safety.
The carriage jolted along the road, and the scenery on both sides was rapidly reversed.
Shu Zhihan and Lu He were sitting in the carriage, and suddenly, the carriage stopped.
The two of them glanced at each other, both with some doubts in their hearts. Shu Zhihan gently lifted the curtain and subconsciously stretched out her head to look at the situation outside.
I saw a dense forest in front of me, and there seemed to be a figure shaking in the woods.
Shu Zhihan couldn't help but think of this forest, as if it was here that she first saw Luo Jinyu.
And now, this forest appears in front of her again, but it is full of danger and unknown.
She looked at the swaying figure in the woods, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
The carriage stopped in front of the woods, and the shadow seemed to be approaching them. Shu Zhihan held Lu He's hand tightly, and the two snuggled up to each other, ready to face the impending danger.
Shu Zhihan held Miyue on the other side and motioned for her to be quiet.
She took a deep breath and struggled to keep herself calm.
She knew that in a time of crisis like this, panic would only bring greater danger.
She peered through the cracks and watched the woods closely.
The figures seemed to be approaching them, their steps steady and powerful, as if they knew their whereabouts inside out.
Shu Zhihan couldn't help but feel a little panicked in her heart, but she understood that at this moment, she had to stay calm.
She held Mitsuki's hand tightly and told her with her eyes, "It's going to be okay, we'll definitely get through this difficulty." ”
Shu Zhihan thought of Miyue at that time and fainted in fright when she saw those bad guys, and now she actually blocked in front of her when she met the bad guys.
This picture made Shu Zhihan feel a little moved.
She knew that Mitsuki was no longer the timid girl, but someone who bravely protected her.
She knew in her heart that no matter what difficulties she encountered, as long as they worked together, they would be able to get through this crisis.
She held Mitsuki's hand tightly, her eyes shining with determination.
She took a deep breath and prepared for the challenge that was ahead.
