Chapter 121 The storm is coming
"Ask the shopkeeper to put some meat in the porridge. Yuanyuan loves meat. Make some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes. Yuanyuan has not looked well these past few days. Make something to replenish her qi and blood."
It was Yun Hance's voice, and I walked towards it step by step.
"Why are you in a daze? Go quickly."
The person coming towards him was Yun Huan. At this moment, he looked like a waiter.
When he saw me, he bowed politely and then left.
Yun Hance held one hand under the corridor. Raindrops dripped onto the roof, winding down along the black tiles and dripping onto the ground to form a depression.
I walked over, Yun Hance seemed to be thinking about something and didn't notice me. I hugged Yun Hance from behind and rested my head on his back.
Yun Hance's back stiffened slightly, then he turned around and hugged me: "Yuanyuan is awake?"
I leaned against his chest and nodded slightly: "Why are you up so early?"
Yun Hance rubbed the top of my head with his chin: "Well, it's raining outside and I can't sleep."
I also hummed and didn't say anything.
"Is Yuanyuan scared?"
I leaned over to look at him. How did he know everything?
"Don't be afraid, Yuanyuan. Everything will be over soon."
I looked at him calmly and composedly. He has always been like this, smart and wise, and in command. As long as he says something, I can't help but believe him.
"The prince is resting on the second floor."
It’s the waiter’s voice.
Yun Hance glanced downstairs and saw Zhu Baoguo, wearing a straw raincoat, already downstairs.
Yun Hance pulled me back to the room.
When Zhu Baoguo's voice sounded from below asking for an audience, I opened the door and went out. When Zhu Baoguo saw me, he immediately asked politely, "Miss, is the prince awake?"
I sighed and shook my head: "Ace hasn't woken up yet."
Zhu Baoguo frowned and asked, "Is the prince seriously injured?"
I couldn't help but wipe away my tears: "Ace, he lost too much blood, the doctor said..."
I was so heartbroken that I couldn't say anything.
Zhu Baoguo was frightened when he heard this: "Can I go in to visit?"
This was the first time I looked at Zhu Baoguo seriously. Zhu Baoguo looked at me anxiously at this moment: "The doctor said that the prince cannot see anyone these days. General, please go back."
Zhu Baoguo saw me standing at the door and not allowing anyone to refuse, and he did not dare to barge in, so he could only instruct, "Miss, please tell the prince when he wakes up."
I smiled slightly: "Don't worry, General."
After they left, the door behind me creaked open and the wind and rain got heavier.
Yun Hance and I stood side by side under the eaves. Yun Huan brought us food: "Master, Miss, please eat something first."
Yun Hance turned around and took my hand and went into the house.
It was dark, and Yun Hance took me to the teahouse opposite to drink tea. The small window of the teahouse faced the room where we had lived before.
If Yun Hance's expectation goes as he expected, someone will come tonight to check whether Yun Hance is still alive.
"Master, the waiter confessed yesterday."
Yun Hance poured me a cup of hot tea: "It's cold, drink something hot."
I took it obediently.
"What did he confess?"
"This person is an informant of the Anguo. His name is Zhao Erbao. He has been in Nanxi for five years. Most of the officials of Nanxi Pass have reached private transactions with the Anguo, and the transaction location is this inn. Even the shopkeeper of this inn is actually the prince of the Anguo."
Yun Hance was also surprised when he heard the word "Prince". Anguo only had one prince, King Wei Jian of Zongyue.
This prince was young but very capable. In his early years, he was a victorious general in wars with neighboring countries. Later, for some unknown reason, he fell seriously ill and never appeared in public again.
Yun Hance couldn't believe it was true. How could the prince of Anguo come to Nanxi Pass to be a small shopkeeper? But if it wasn't someone Anguo trusted very much, how could they be assured of the message they had sent?
Therefore, the loyalty of this middleman is of vital importance. Otherwise, as long as this person is instigated to rebel, the An State will receive a lot of false information, which will be a fatal blow to the An State.
"Among those who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed their country at Nanxi Pass, is there a person named Zhu Baoguo?"
This is the issue that Yun Hance is most concerned about. After all, he is the highest military commander in Nanxi. If he also collaborates with the enemy and sells out his country, then Nanxi Pass will be in danger.
"I have copied down the list, and he has signed it personally."
Yun Hance took the list, glanced at it hastily, and a smile suddenly appeared on his lips: "You go to Yang Shu secretly, and ask Yang Shu to ask Deputy General Su to draw a map to the grove, and you go to find out if there is anything unusual in the woods."
Yunyan agreed and went down.
These days I have seen Yun Hance handling things in a clear and organized manner. It seems that he will catch the big fish soon. I have to admire his smart mind.
At night, the lights in the room opposite were on as usual, and Yun Hance leaned against the window and stared at what was happening opposite.
The air was cooler at night. The rain had just stopped and a drop of rain occasionally fell on the leaves.
Suddenly, the lights in the room opposite went out, and Yun Hance knew that the fish had taken the bait.
Soon the lights in the room opposite were lit up again, and there was no fighting during this time.
Yun Hance put his arm around me, flew to the opposite window, and slipped into the room.
A man in black was caught red-handed and a secret guard handcuffed his hands.
Yun Hance walked closer step by step, and just as he was about to pull off the man's veil, several arrows suddenly came flying, and those arrows were burning.
The inn was instantly in a sea of fire, and the man in black was rescued by him in the chaos.
Yun Hance would not let him go. He hugged me and flew downstairs. The man had just had his arm injured. Before he left, Yun Hance told him, "Protect Yuanyuan."
Then the figure followed like a ghost, and the exquisite inn would soon be reduced to ashes.
I watched the fire growing more and more intensely. It was such a cold day, it was raining, and everything was wet. How could the fire be so big?
Could it be that they poured kerosene? Did they premeditatedly want to kill Yun Hance?
I still shudder when I think about it now. Nanxi Pass is indeed very dangerous. If Yun Hance follows them, will he fall into their trap?
When I thought about this, I immediately turned around and looked at the other secret guard: "What's your name?"
The secret guard bowed his head and said, "Your subordinate is Yunyue."
I was so flustered that I didn't remember his name, so I asked him, "Did Yun Hance bring his secret guards with him when he chased after them just now?"
Yun Yue looked up at me blankly, then lowered her head again: "What happened just now happened in just a moment. If nothing unexpected happens, the master should be the only one who followed."
When I heard this, I became even more nervous.
But at this moment, I can't seem to do anything.
At this moment, more and more people gathered on the street to watch the excitement. A woman dropped the cake in her hand and screamed at the top of her lungs: "Let me in, my child is still inside."
I turned around and looked over. The woman was wearing coarse linen clothes and had no makeup on. She had tears in her eyes, like a mad woman.
"Don't pull me, let me in, let go."
"Sister, the fire is too big. You won't be able to get out if you go in."
"I don't care, my baby, my baby is still in there."
I watched the woman struggling frantically. Yunyue grabbed me as I was about to rush in and said, "Just go ahead. The girl will wait outside."
I nodded, and Yunyue, holding her injured hand, rushed into the fire scene.
"Someone went in, someone went in."
The crowd cheered.
The woman stopped screaming and stared blankly at the fire, her eyes filled with the light of the flames.
