The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

With the assistance of Feng Yunhe's troops, all the monks in the temple were taken back to the military camp for their fate.

Before leaving, Jiang Ci and Feng Yunhe met alone in a meditation room, and Feng Yunhe knelt in front of Jiang Ci again.

"I pay my respects to His Majesty the Seventh Prince."

Jiang Ci looked at him and asked, "Master Feng, do you believe in my identity?"

Feng Yunhe raised his head, his eyes wise and clear.

"I believe in my own judgment. Rumor has it that the descendants of the Feng family are so smart that they are almost like demons. Your Highness knows that returning to the capital is a life-threatening situation, so he will definitely not go alone. So after learning that you are in Rongcheng, I am even more convinced that the one in the capital is a fake."

Feng Yunhe guessed that the person in the capital must be a substitute arranged by the Seventh Prince, and the Seventh Prince was hiding among the people, trying to secretly build up his power and wait for an opportunity to act.

Some time ago, the King of Qi invaded Nanwei Prefecture. Li Shangqian had led 20,000 defenders to defend the city for many days but was helpless. However, they suddenly won a series of victories not long after, and the King of Qi's army was defeated. It was heard that an army suddenly arrived from Xinyang Prefecture. This team was brave and good at fighting, and the commander was an expert in using troops. In several battles, they won with fewer troops. In the end, only 20,000 remnants were left of the 100,000 troops brought by the King of Qi.

Now that I think about it, the battle to defend Nanwei Prefecture might be related to the Seventh Prince.

If this is true, the power behind the Seventh Prince is probably much stronger than he imagined. This time, the Seventh Prince took the initiative to find him and provided various evidence of his father Feng Jinyuan and Du's crimes. He must have figured out the internal relationships of the Feng family in advance and wanted to use him to get rid of Feng Jinyuan.

Although he understood the other party's intention, Feng Yunhe decided to take a risk after some thought!

Jiang Ci sat down and smiled faintly: "The evidence sent to you is enough to bring down your father. If you can handle the disaster in Rongcheng well, you will definitely be valued by His Majesty. Have you made up your mind?"

Feng Yunhe's eyes were firm: "Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Since I choose to believe in Your Highness, I will be loyal to you wholeheartedly."

Feng Jinyuan is the Zhao family's dog. If he brings Feng Jinyuan down, it would be tantamount to a complete break with the Zhao family.

Therefore, once he took this step, there was no chance of turning back. Only by finding someone who could compete with the Zhao family would he and his mother have hope of survival.

Thinking back to the humiliation he had suffered in the Feng Mansion for the past twenty years, Feng Yunhe clenched his hands into fists at his sides. He couldn't wait to see the despair that Feng Jinyuan and Du would experience after losing everything.

Jiang Ci said: "Go ahead, someone will tell you what to do next."

"Yes, Your Highness, I have already made arrangements for Rongcheng. You can enter the city at any time. I will take my leave."

Feng Yunhe led the group of monks away from Dazhao Temple, and then Jiang Ci, Yan Shu, Ji Chuan and Nangong Yan also went down the mountain to Rongcheng.

Just as Feng Yunhe said, Jiang Ci explained his purpose to the soldiers guarding the city, and they immediately respectfully opened the city gate to welcome them in.

The leading soldier kindly reminded him, "Mr. Jiang, the situation in the city is very bad now. Many people have turned into zombies. If you are going in, please be careful."

Jiang Ci thanked the soldier and successfully entered Rongcheng with Yan Shu, Ji Chuan, Nan Gongyuan and others.

When they arrived in the city, they found dead bodies lying everywhere on the streets. Within an hour after the death of the Gu King, his disciples would die one after another, and the people controlled by the Gu worms would also die quickly, so they saw the current scene.

Yan Shu was unable to describe the scene in concrete words. At a glance, he saw corpses of both old and young all over the ground. They should have been living lives, but in the end they became victims of the struggle for power among those in power.

Nangong Yan pursed her lips and shook her head helplessly: "Born in troubled times, how innocent."

Jiang Ci held Yan Shu's hand tightly and said softly, "Let's go back to the inn first."

"it is good."

Ji Chuan said to Jiang Ci, "Mr. Jiang, Madam Jiang, we want to look around to see if there are any living people in the city."

"Alright, we will stay at Xingyun Inn for now. If you have any problems, please come find us there. General Feng, whom I met at Dazhao Temple before, will soon bring people to deal with the corpses in the city."

Ji Chuan nodded: "That's good, then we'll take our leave first."

Nangong Yan looked at Yan Shu, smiled and waved at her: "Madam Jiang, after I finish dealing with things here, I will come to thank you in person for saving my life."

Yan Shu smiled and said, "We are helping each other, Miss Nangong, there is no need to be so polite."

"Bye first, see you another day!"

"it is good!"

After watching Ji Chuan and Nangong Yan leave, Yan Shu looked at the young man beside him.

"Let's go back too. We don't know what the current situation is in the inn."

"Don't worry, Yingliu and the others are watching over it, so nothing will happen."

When the two returned to the inn, the door was already open.

Ying Liu, Shiqi and others were excited to see Yan Shu and Jiang Ci return safely and came out to greet them.

"Master, Miss Yan, you are finally back safely. We just discovered that the zombies in the city suddenly died for some reason, and I am preparing to go out to investigate the situation."

"No need to check. The Gu King is dead and these zombies will die with him. What has the situation been like in the inn these past two days?"

Ying Liu said: "Fortunately, the spray that Miss Yan gave me worked. Everything was fine here last night."

Jiang Ci and Yan Shu walked into the inn, and the other guests were already waiting in the lobby.

"Greetings to Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang. I wonder what the situation is like outside?"

Jiang Ci looked at everyone and said, "All the zombies in the city are dead. If you want to leave the city, I can arrange for someone to take you away right now."

"Really? Are all those zombies really dead?"

Yan Shu said, "If you don't believe me, you can go out and see for yourself. The streets are full of corpses of zombies. They are indeed dead."

Everyone had an expression of having survived a disaster on their faces.

After some discussion, everyone was worried about further accidents and decided to leave Rongcheng today.

Jiang Ci sent Ying Liu with ten shadow guards to escort them away. Before leaving, everyone knelt down sincerely and kowtowed three times to Jiang Ci and Yan Shu to express their gratitude.

The orphans and widowed mother of the family whose husband had died came to say goodbye to Yan Shu before leaving.

They were originally from Changshan County. They fled last year to escape famine. After hearing that the Rongdi army had withdrawn, the couple decided to return home together. However, they did not expect to encounter an accident in Rongcheng. Now that her husband is dead, it is likely that the rest of her life will be very difficult for a woman with three children.

Yan Shu asked: "Are you going back to Changshan County next, Sister Wang?"

The woman wiped her tears with her sleeve and said, "I want to send my husband's ashes back to his hometown for burial, so that he can return to his roots. As for whether to settle down in Changshan County in the future, it depends on the situation in the future. If the weather is still so dry, I'm afraid it will be difficult for everyone to survive this winter."

Yan Shu consoled her, "It is almost the twelfth lunar month. Believe me, it will snow soon."

The woman smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang, and thank you for the carriage you gave me. I have no way to repay you, so please accept our greetings from the four of us, mother and son."

Yan Shu held out his hand to stop her and the children: "It's a long journey, you orphans and widows will be safer if you have a vehicle to ride. Drive slowly and be careful."

The woman looked at Yan Shu with gratitude in her eyes: "We will, Master and Madam, take care!"

After saying goodbye, the woman took her three children on the carriage. Wang Jiadalang was thirteen years old this year. He seemed to have grown up overnight after his father's death. Their family had an ox cart before, and he had learned to drive from his father since he was a child, so the responsibility of escorting his mother and younger brothers and sisters home was given to him.

After everyone in the inn left one after another, Yan Shu and Jiang Ci returned to their room.

"Aci, what are we going to do next while staying in Rongcheng?"

After Jiang Ci sat down, he reached out and hugged Yan Shu around the waist and placed him on his thighs.

"The Feng Yunhe you met in Dazhao Temple today is Feng Jinyuan's eldest son. He has agreed to cooperate with us, so I need to arrange some things here in the next two days. I also want to go to Qingyun Mountain with Ji Chuan and the others. What do you think, Jiaojiao?"

Now that I have hooked up with the senior disciple of Qingyun Mountain, I must make use of this relationship.

Yan Shu thought for a moment.

"That's good too. We can be considered as friends in need with them, and we can get their care when we get to Qingyun Mountain."

Jiang Ci said: "Since you agree to go with them, I will go to Ji Chuan later to explain this matter."

Yan Shu nodded: "Okay, we haven't rested all night, let's get some sleep first."

Jiang Ci raised his hand and gently stroked Yan Shu's cheek.

"I have to go out soon. You go to sleep first. I will leave after you fall asleep."

Yan Shu was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes. He nestled in Jiang Ci's arms, responded softly, and soon fell asleep.

Jiang Ci had been sitting quietly in the same posture, staring at the little girl in his arms with a calm and gentle gaze, the corners of his lips rising unconsciously.

He leaned over and placed a light kiss on her brow, then moved along her brow to the tip of her nose, and finally, contentedly, he pressed his kiss against her lips to feel the warmth and softness of those plump lips.

"Knock down!"

The knock on the door interrupted the beauty of the moment, and Jiang Ci's eyes instantly returned to indifference.

He picked up Yan Shu and gently placed her on the bed, took off her embroidered shoes and covered her with the quilt. He looked at Yan Shu one last time before turning around and walking out.

Outside the door, Seventeen Chao Jiang Ci greeted him respectfully.

"Master, everyone is here."

"Arrange some people to guard here. Don't disturb her rest unless necessary."

"Yes!"
