Chapter 111 Two people meet
Seeing Feng Mo wake up, Yang Shizhong took the initiative to step out and closed the door.
Liu Yu squatted down. She had too many questions to ask, but seeing Feng Mo's condition, she didn't ask them. She asked about his injuries instead: "How do you feel?"
Feng Mo struggled to get up, and with Liu Yu's help, he leaned against the wall and curled his lips:
"I'm fine."
"I'm glad you're okay. What happened to you? Did you find Third Master and the others?" Liu Yu asked hurriedly.
Feng Mo nodded, took a few deep breaths, and began to tell Liu Yu what happened after he left.
It turned out that as soon as he left the capital, he met the group of people who were going from the capital to Lingnan to kill Chen Sanye. Later he learned that they were subordinates of the Minister of Works Feng Bu, and their leader was called Lu Qi. Instead of searching aimlessly alone, Feng Mo chose to follow them and went to Xiangzhou.
Just as they were about to leave the border of Xiangzhou, unexpectedly, the people sent by Yuzhang Hou caught up with them and successfully intercepted them.
He was planning to leave at that time, but thinking about the time wasted on the road and not being able to find a good horse, he decided to take a boat south.
He was at the Xiangzhou dock, but the boat didn't come and he met Lu Qi who escaped from Yuzhang Hou. He knew clearly that his mission was to find his master. And since the day he followed Lu Qi, he knew that Lu Qi and his men were very skilled in martial arts. There would be no benefit if he exposed himself rashly, so he continued to hide in the dark, waiting for them to disperse before taking the boat.
But he actually saw Feng Xiao at the dock. What's worse, Lu Qi seemed to have discovered Feng Xiao and the others as well.
Feng Xiao was in Xiangzhou, so his master must be there too. He followed the crowd and boarded the passenger ship heading south.
I witnessed with my own eyes the scene of Chuan Luqi chasing and killing Mr. Chen Sanye.
He knew that he alone could not change the situation of the war, so when no one was paying attention, he found the warehouse at the bottom of the passenger ship where the escape boats were stored.
He drove the small boat away from the large passenger ship and circled nearby. In addition to the knife he carried with him, he also picked up a bow and arrow from the passenger ship.
He saw Feng Xiao struggling to hold on, and Wu Ye's inability to break free.
But he didn't move.
When Lu Qi seriously injured Mr. Chen San and was about to kill him with a knife, an arrow pierced Lu Qi's chest and counterattacked Lu Qi and his men.
Uncle Chen San took the opportunity to jump into the Jingqu River, and others jumped down one after another.
Feng Mo drove a small boat into the water and fished them out from the bottom of the river one by one.
After listening to Feng Mo's description, Liu Yu was glad that it was the right decision to let Feng Mo leave the capital and go south to find Mr. Chen Sanye.
"And what happened to your injuries?"
Since there was no injury at that time, how did these injuries come about?
"We were discovered by the people guarding outside the Chen residence."
Liu Yu was followed on the way here and knew the existence of those people, but now the royal family has issued an edict, so even if the palace knew about it, there was nothing they could do.
After a moment's silence, she asked:
"Where did you place the Third Master and the others? Take me there!"
Now not only Feng is looking for the Third Master, even the Imperial Guards are looking for him. If they find him, Third Master Chen will be in danger. She has to see it for herself before she can feel at ease.
"Yes."
He was ordered to report the news to his family.
...
"This time I think Liu Yu's request has been met! Will he be able to ask to leave later?" Yang Shizhong, who was anxiously waiting outside the door, couldn't help but think.
He still remembered what happened at the court meeting this morning. He felt that if he continued to be involved in this matter, his head hanging on his neck would be in danger of being moved at any time.
Too risky.
No, he has to draw a clear line between himself and the Chen family.
He moved his ears and heard the door open. He quickly dropped the branch in his hand, stood up and went to meet it.
Seeing Liu Yu helping the seriously injured Feng Mo out, he helped him up.
He was thinking about what to say.
As if he had seen through Yang Shizhong's thoughts, Liu Yu spoke before he even opened his mouth, cutting off all his escape routes:
"Master Yang, Feng Mo, take me to find the Third Master. I'm afraid I can't support him alone. Come with me!"
Both men looked at her at the same time.
Feng Mo felt that he had not reached that point yet, but he also wanted to remind her that at this critical moment, it would be safest not to let outsiders know the whereabouts of the master.
But in the end, Feng Mo said nothing. From what he had seen these days, Aunt Liu was different from other women in the inner palace.
He was able to save his master and others in time, thanks to Aunt Liu's knowledge of everything in advance.
Yang Shizhong roared in his heart and refused a hundred times, but he only asked one question:
"Doesn't this fulfill your request?"
Hearing Yang Shizhong's words, Liu Yu was stunned at first, then nodded without any guilt: "Yes."
She called him for a reason. She was still thinking about what excuse to use to call him.
But he had already found a reason for her, so there was no reason for her not to follow suit.
Even if Yang Shizhong was unwilling, he had no choice but to follow Liu Yu and the others.
Feng Mo led them from the outside of the west city to the outside of the north city and came to a small village surrounded by mountains fifty miles away from the capital.
It took them a whole day to get here. When they arrived at the village, it was already dark.
There were sounds of dogs barking in the village.
"Xiao Mo, you're back." Seeing that it was Feng Mo who came back, the villagers standing at the door of their homes greeted him one after another. They were no longer surprised by the injuries on his body.
Instead, he cast curious glances at Liu Yu and Yang Shizhong who were beside him.
Feng Mo turned a blind eye and responded to the villagers one by one. He took Liu Yu and the others into the village and all the way to the end of the village.
"These villagers are quite enthusiastic," Yang Shizhong praised.
Feng Mo nodded in agreement. That day, he dragged Chen Sanye and the others out of the Jingqu River and brought them to the village gate. The villagers felt sorry for them and let them stay in the village temporarily to recuperate.
He didn't return to the capital until he had bandaged the wounds of the Third Master, the Fifth Master, and Feng Xiao, and waited for them to be out of danger and wake up. He wanted to report his safety to Chen Mansion, but he was discovered by the people guarding outside Chen Mansion and was severely injured.
Feng Mo took them into an old house at the end of the village. The courtyard wall of the house was made of piled mud. More than half of the old earthen house inside had collapsed. Master Chen San and his family lived in the two remaining rooms on the other side.
When Liu Yu and his companions came in, Feng Xiao and several guards were building a simple stove with earthen bricks, with a pot on top, cooking the food they had exchanged from the villagers.
Each of them was wrapped in bandages, and their robes were tattered, completely lacking the majestic look they had in the capital.
This miserable and miserable appearance made her nose feel a little sour.
At this time, Mr. Chen San and Mr. Chen Wu were discussing something in the house.
Feng Xiao saw Feng Mo bringing Liu Yu, and hurriedly got up and went inside to report.
Soon, Mr. Chen San and Mr. Chen Wu came out.
One of them strode in, and the other came out. Their eyes met. Liu Yu stopped and looked at the person he hadn't seen for several months. Everything around him seemed to non-existent, and an inexplicable longing surged in his heart.
