Chapter 112 Are You Willing to Promise Me

"Third Master..." Liu Yu called out the long-lost name, and the corners of his eyes turned slightly red.

The Mr. Chen San in front of him not only had his shoulders and abdomen wrapped in gauze, but his left hand was directly broken and simply hung around his neck with gauze. He looked even more miserable than the guards.

But his straight back and calm demeanor are still the same as before.

He walked towards Liu Yu who was standing at the door step by step. When he saw her, he seemed to have a thousand words to say, but in the end, he just called out softly:

"Kodama."

"Yeah." Liu Yu cried with joy. She raised her hand to check his injury, but she pulled her hand back halfway.

She smiled and asked:

"Do these injuries hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Uncle Chen shook his head indifferently, and the two smiled at each other.

The people around looked at the two people who had not seen them for a long time and could not bear to disturb them. However, from Feng Mo's words, they knew that the situation in the capital was tense now, and everyone wanted to get the details of what had happened from Liu Yu.

After all, Yang Shizhong didn't know him.

Liu Yu and Chen Sanye are not the kind of people who only care about love and ignore the overall situation. After they exchanged a few brief words.

Mr. Chen San took Liu Yu back into the house and called everyone over.

"Yu'er, we have returned to the capital from Lingnan and have been staying here ever since. We haven't had a chance to go out yet, so we are not very clear about the situation in the city. Can you tell us about it?"

Liu Yu nodded and told Mr. Chen Sanye and the others truthfully what had happened recently in the capital.

"So, we are wanted now?" Uncle Chen Wu exclaimed in disbelief: "How is that possible?"

"I don't believe it..." Lord He roared in a low voice.

When they left the capital, they were still special envoys, so how come they became wanted criminals when they came back? Almost everyone was unwilling to admit that this was the truth, and they all thought that it was just that Feng Bu sent people to assassinate them secretly, and as long as they returned to the capital, they would be safe.

Everyone had made up their mind that once they entered the city, they would report Feng Bushiben to the Heavenly Family.

But now, as soon as they return to the capital, they will be caught and sent to prison.

From being a meritorious minister, he was transformed into a wanted criminal hunted by the imperial decree. No one could accept this.

Liu Yu closed his eyes and said affirmatively: "This is true."

After hearing this, the small mud house became noisy.

Only Mr. Chen San was silent, with his brows furrowed, wondering what he was thinking.

Liu Yu noticed it, and she turned to Yang Shizhong beside her and said, "Sir Yang, please tell everyone about the situation in the court!"

After saying that, Liu Yu moved towards Mr. Chen San and whispered in his ear:

"Master San, are you worried about the people behind you?"

Mr. Chen San was surprised: "How did Yu'er guess that?"

"The number of people here is less than one-third of the number when we left the capital. The Third Master should have separated them!"

Master Chen Wu, who was standing next to him, heard Liu Yu's words and sincerely praised him:

"Aunt Liu, you can even guess this, you are really amazing."

"That's great, Fifth Master." Liu Yu smiled politely and turned his gaze back to Third Master Chen, waiting for his decision.

Everyone looked towards him.

Master Chen San swept his eyes across the faces of everyone in the room, looking at them with determination:

"When you came out with me, you were all safe and sound. When you go back, I, Chen Zhihe, will definitely ensure that everyone returns to Beijing safely."

After receiving the assurance from Mr. Chen Sanye, everyone felt relieved.

Then Mr. Chen San said a few words to soothe people, and then he sent everyone away, leaving only Liu Yu and Yang Shizhong.

Mr. Chen San took the initiative to step forward in front of Yang Shizhong, put his hands together, bent down and bowed deeply to him.

"Thank you, Lord Yang. When I was in trouble, you stepped forward to help me regardless of your own safety. I will always remember this."

Yang Shizhong opened his mouth in shock. He didn't do it voluntarily!

The person in front of him was a second-rank minister in the cabinet! He was just a small official, why did he show such great respect to him?

"Sir Chen, you can't do that..." After Yang Shizhong came to his senses, he waved his hands repeatedly. He wanted to help but didn't dare to. The pole was stuck in place, and he was in a dilemma.

Liu Yu was also shocked by Mr. Chen San's behavior and she wanted to say something.

But in the end she chose not to say anything.

She felt that it was a fact that Yang Shizhong had helped them. Even if she promised to owe Yang Shizhong a favor, Mr. Chen San's gift was out of his gratitude to Yang Shizhong, and the two were not in conflict.

And there was another reason why Liu Yu did not stop him. If Mr. Chen Sanye could really recruit Yang Shizhong for his own use, it would only benefit Mr. Chen Sanye.

Although Yang Shizhong was stubborn and rigid, he was loyal, trustworthy, capable, and a talented person in water management. He also refused to be recruited by the two factions, but no one paved the way for him.

In his previous life, after his death, the notes on water control he left behind brought great benefits to the subsequent imperial court.

Mr. Chen San ignored Yang Shizhong's words and Xing Chengcai stood up.

He looked at Yang Shizhong and said seriously: "Sir Yang, you helped me, so this is what I should do. You deserve this gift, so don't be nervous."

What could Yang Shizhong say? He had always been poor at speaking, so he could only laugh dryly.

"sit down!"

Yang Shizhong sat down nervously.

Master Chen poured him a cup of hot water and said with a faint smile: "Master Yang, I have something to ask you for help, is that ok?"

Why did Yang Shizhong feel so familiar with this sentence? By the way, Liu Yu had said something similar to him not long ago.

As a result, he was inexplicably tied to this precarious pirate ship in the storm.

Yang Shizhong suddenly had a bad feeling. He didn't want to listen and wanted to refuse directly.

But although Mr. Chen San was smiling at him, the unyielding aura he exuded made Yang Shizhong unable to say a word.

In the past, even if he was tried to win over the two factions, at most an official with a rank slightly higher than his would come forward. He had never directly faced the top officials in the cabinet.

After a while, Yang Shizhong spoke weakly:

"If it's beyond my ability, I may not be able to do it."

Master Chen San smiled with relief: "Don't worry, it's not a big deal, it's very simple for you."

Yang Shizhong's heart was pounding, and he felt more and more that this was not a good thing.

Sure enough, I heard the voice of Master Chen San coming slowly:

"I want you to take me to see the Heavenly Family."

It’s not a big deal, it’s simple. In the eyes of these powerful officials, is it so easy to see the royal family?

Apart from the court, he couldn't remember the last time he had seen the royal family.

It seemed like the two factions were fighting for his position. Later, the Heavenly Family mentioned his name inexplicably, and the title of Sixunsi fell on him. Afterwards, the Heavenly Family met him alone.

It's crazy.

After a long while, Yang Shizhong finally suppressed his fluctuating emotions: "Why me?"

"My second brother's position is too low to see the royal family. Besides, the Chen Mansion is too conspicuous. I don't trust the subordinate officials. As for why you came, I have my own intentions. I can only tell you that you are almost safe on this trip."

"Yang Shizhong, are you willing?"
