The shopkeeper shook his head in disbelief after hearing this: "How is this possible! The major general died three years ago. I saw it with my own eyes!"

Rong Sheng's face was as dark as water, but his voice was sad: "But I came back alive, changed my appearance and came back with another identity."

After she finished speaking, she looked at the shopkeeper's still skeptical expression, nodded and continued: "Since you call me a major general, you must be under my command in the Shen Family Army, and you are a centurion or above."

Recalling the shopkeeper's martial arts moves just now, Rong Sheng said confidently: "I remember that there were very few people in the army who could train their arms to be as strong as iron, and only General Wu Lin liked to use this fist-swinging posture."

She turned her eyes slightly, looked at the shopkeeper's face, and said firmly: "So you are Wu Lin, right?"

The shopkeeper suddenly heard his own name and felt strange because no one had known him or called him by his name for a long time.

His eyes instantly filled with tears, and he knelt down on one knee towards Rong Sheng, his voice trembling with excitement: "Major General, I didn't even know you were still alive, and I treated you like that just now. I deserve to die!"

Rong Sheng quickly helped Wu Lin up, smiling and saying with concern: "There's no need for this between you and me. It's just that we haven't seen each other for many years. Why has your appearance changed so much? How did your eyes and legs become like this?"

Thinking of his old injuries, Wu Lin's heart was suddenly filled with mixed emotions: "At that time, the 50,000 Shen family soldiers and Li Yujing fought to the death, and I also tried my best." His voice was full of sadness, "When I woke up again, my body was covered with the bodies of my brothers. Finally, I escaped from Camel Hump Valley, but I slipped and fell down a hillside, and I became like this."

Hearing Li Yujing's name, Rong Sheng's expression immediately turned cold. She asked, "Did you know what Li Yujing was doing in the past three years?"

Wu Lin nodded and said, "In the past three years, in addition to recuperating from my injuries, I have indeed been constantly inquiring about the affairs of the court. Li Yujing is now doing very well and is still the General of the Central Army appointed by the emperor." He gritted his teeth and said, "If I were not in this state now, I would have killed Li Yujing and avenged my brothers!"

Hearing that Li Yujing had been doing so well in the past three years, Rong Sheng's eyes became even more sinister: "Wu Lin, now that I am alive, I will take on the road of revenge. My current identity is the Princess Yong'an of the Rongguo Marquisate. Sometimes it is inconvenient for me to show up, so you can just help me get information secretly."

Then she lowered her head and looked at Wu Lin's legs and continued, "I will heal your legs and eyes when I find the herbs. You can also take the five taels of silver."

Wu Lin was very moved when he heard that Rong Sheng wanted to treat his injuries. He looked at the purse handed over and refused to take it: "Major General, I can support myself. I don't want this money."

Rong Sheng just took a quick look around the bun shop and found it to be very simple.

It was obvious that Wu Lin was just barely making ends meet, so she stuffed the purse into Wu Lin's hands and said, "If you don't live well, I won't be at peace. This is an order, take it now!"

After hearing what she said, Wu Lin stopped refusing and continued with tears in his eyes, "Major General, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I will do my best to help you!"

Rong Sheng actually found it interesting to see Wu Lin like this. This iron-blooded man has really changed a lot now. He didn't cry so easily before.

Afterwards, Rong Sheng and Wu Lin chatted about many court affairs. About half an hour later, Rong Sheng said goodbye to Wu Lin and quickly returned to the marquis' mansion.

As soon as the back door of Mingyuexuan was opened, Liu Ling and Yuli rushed over with nervous expressions.

Liu Ling was the first to speak: "Princess, you are finally back. The whole house was in chaos when you were away for a while!"

"Yes!" Yu Li rushed to answer, "The Marquis sent someone to say that a thief had entered the mansion, and no one knew where he had gone. He was searching every room, and he might come to Mingyue Pavilion to check later."

"Thief?" Rong Sheng laughed. Could it be that the thief was referring to himself?

She changed her mind and thought that Lu Song must have failed to catch her, so he turned around and went back to the mansion to tell Rong Dexin. With Rong Dexin's suspicious nature, he would definitely not miss the opportunity to search her mansion.

Seeing Rong Sheng still laughing, Liu Ling hurriedly said, "Princess, please change your clothes quickly! If the Marquis comes over later and sees you like this, he will ask you all sorts of questions."

Only then did Rong Sheng realize that he was still wearing men's clothes, and his entire body was covered in white flour.

She hurried into the inner room and changed her clothes.

At this time, Cao Cao appeared. Rong Dexin walked in with his hands behind his back, looking a little anxious.

"Father, what's wrong with you?" Rong Sheng approached Mingzhi and asked, "Why are you so anxious?"

"Sheng'er, did you see anyone passing by Mingyuexuan?" Rong Dexin sighed and said.

"No," Rong Sheng shook his head and said, "My daughter's Mingyuexuan has always been very quiet, and few people come. Who is father looking for?"

Rong Dexin looked at Rong Sheng's innocent eyes and sighed again: "A thief broke into the mansion. If we can't find him now, he may not be in the mansion anymore. I will go outside to look for him!"

Rong Sheng nodded in understanding, but his heart sank. If they couldn't find the "thief", would they change their plan of action?

"Wait a minute, father. I have a request." Rong Sheng suddenly took a big step to Rong Dexin and said in a soft voice, "Father, I want to get better. I heard that there is a medicinal garden and a good hot spring inn on Luoxiang Mountain near the capital. I want to go there to recuperate. Do you agree?"

She even blinked her bright eyes at Rong Dexin.

Hearing Rong Sheng's sweet voice for the first time, Rong Dexin was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Sheng'er's health is the most important. How can your father not agree? Since there is such a beautiful view there, go there after lunch. Your father will arrange the best carriage for you."

Rong Sheng was delighted after hearing this. He thanked him and sent Rong Dexin out of Mingyuexuan.

After closing the door, Rong Sheng immediately stopped smiling.

The reason why he told Rong Dexin that he was going to Luoxiang Mountain was to conceal his actions.

But the most important thing is that Luoxiang Mountain is the mountain closest to Ningyuan Temple.

In my previous life, I also stayed in the hot spring inn in Luoxiang Mountain to recuperate for a period of time. I clearly remember that from the hot spring inn to Ningyuan Temple, I only had to pass through a small forest, and few people knew about this road.

He could easily reach the back door of Ningyuan Temple without alerting the enemy.

At the same time, the hot springs of Luoxiang Mountain not only have healing effects, but the medicinal garden also contains countless rare herbs.

Maybe you can even find the flowers of heaven.

Having made a plan in his mind, Rong Sheng started packing his luggage without saying a word, and also took some personal weapons and medicines.

Liu Ling had just brought lunch into the room. She looked up and saw the luggage neatly arranged on the cloud stool, and Rong Sheng, who had dressed himself neatly beside her. She was stunned.

Although the princess was wearing a gorgeous dress, she had a brightness and cheerfulness that was different from other noble ladies from aristocratic families, which was truly pleasing to the eye.

Rong Sheng also felt Liu Ling's gaze on him at this time, so he walked up to her, raised his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, saying, "Liu Ling, what's wrong? Are you hungry?"

Liu Ling couldn't help but blush: "The princess is making fun of me again." Then she put the bowl and chopsticks in front of Rong Sheng and whispered: "Princess, eat quickly, we still have to hurry."

Rong Sheng had a preliminary plan in mind to protect King Ming, and he felt more at ease and his appetite returned.

Sitting down and starting to eat heartily, Liu Ling looked at Rong Sheng's eating speed and was not surprised at all. She even felt that this was better than the previous depressed and cautious princess.

The dead are gone, living in the present is the most important thing.

After a while, Rong Sheng had eaten and drunk his fill, and the carriage was ready and parked at the side door.

She jumped into the carriage swiftly, followed closely by Liu Ling who was holding a package. This time, at Rong Sheng's request, only Liu Ling was there to serve.

There was only one servant driving the car. He had very dark skin and a very strong physique.

Liu Ling looked back at the servant and felt that he looked unfamiliar. She couldn't help but ask, "What's your name? How long have you been in the mansion?"

"Miss Liu Ling, my name is Ah Hei. I've been here for half a year and have been running errands in the front yard. It's normal that you don't know me." The servant replied immediately.

Liu Ling thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she nodded slightly and entered the car.

Everything was ready, the carriage started slowly, passing through one prosperous street after another. Rong Sheng listened to the long-lost sounds of the bustling market, opened the curtain of the sedan chair, looked at the bustling crowd on the street, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that in her previous life, she followed her father to fight all over the world and gave up the pampered life as a daughter.

Also, because she had been in the military camp for many years, she was ignorant about the relationship between children and children. She believed that as long as she was good to the men, they would be loyal to her.

Now that I have lived my life again, I have come to realize how unreliable love is in the face of money, power and status, and how rare it is to be together for a lifetime.

For a sentimental person like me, I should not be easily moved in the future...

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage left the city and came to the suburbs, and the surroundings gradually became quiet.

Liu Ling was dozing off against the car window. Rong Sheng was also a little sleepy at this time, but he still instinctively stayed awake.

At this moment the carriage suddenly stopped.

已经到了吗?

Rong Sheng was puzzled and was about to lift the curtain in front of him to check, when suddenly a sharp knife cut through the curtain and stabbed straight into Rong Sheng's chest.

Rong Sheng immediately grabbed Liu Ling and retreated quickly.

Ah Hei had a fierce look on his face and a sinister look in his eyes. He swung his knife at Rong Sheng with all his might, while shouting, "Prepare to die!"
