Chapter 300 Make a wish, today is the day you die
After finishing the meal, Gongzi Qin said, "Miss Xu, Chen Shan and I will go out for a while. After we have dealt with the people following us, we will come back to pick you two up."
Zhang Yue was injured and fell into a coma.
It is not safe to bring him along, so it is better to just stay in the inn and wait until those killers are dealt with before coming back to pick Zhang Yue up.
Xu Yuan understood what Gongzi Tan meant, but she still said, "You stay, I'll go."
"This is not safe." Gongzi Qin shook his head.
"And Lord Chen Shan, don't worry. I should avenge myself."
Xu Yuan lowered his eyes, gently wiped the dagger, and said slowly: "I know who wants to kill me, so it is most appropriate for me to go."
"Can……"
"That's good. Master Zhang is in the inn, so we can't help but be distracted." Chen Shan pulled Master Qin's hand, signaling him to stop talking, and continued: "We'll go first. Master Qin, tomorrow morning, you take Zhang Yue to catch up."
Gongzi Tan said: "Okay."
After finishing their meal, Xu Yuan and Chen Shan rode out of the city on horseback. It was quiet and silent all the way. The two men rode their horses at a leisurely pace and stopped in front of a dense forest.
Xu Yuan pulled the reins, turned around first, and said, "Come out, no need to hide. We've been chasing you all the way. Cheng Jie, aren't you tired?"
As the wishing voice fell, a whistle sounded in the woods, and a dozen men in black appeared.
Cheng Jie rode out on horseback, and when he saw Xu Yuan, his eyes were full of hatred.
"Make a wish. I have been waiting for this day for a long time."
Ever since the day the Cheng family was raided and Cheng Jie saw Xu Yuan at the execution ground, he had been dreaming about how to kill Xu Yuan.
If he hadn't made a wish, he would still be the little bully of Sishui County.
If the wish had not been made, the Cheng family would not have been broken up.
He had a rough journey and thought Xu Yuan would be like him and would never get ahead. However, he never imagined that he not only made it to the capital, but also became a sought-after strategist in the Prince's Palace.
He waited and waited, and finally waited until today.
Cheng Jie raised his sword and said in a cold voice: "Xuyuan, today is the day you die. When you die, I will immediately send your brother to accompany you on the road."
"Mr. Cheng, isn't it a little early to say this?"
Chen Shan chuckled, raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.
The sounds of bows and swords being drawn immediately increased.
Cheng Jie looked back in panic and found that they were surrounded.
Chen Shan said: "Third Master has already guessed that there will be an assassination. If you can still do it in this case, it would be too incompetent."
After Chen Shan finished speaking, his tone suddenly turned cold: "Do it."
Cheng Jie brought only a few people with him and they were no match for Chen Shan.
In just a quarter of an hour, more than a dozen people were caught.
Chen Shan grabbed Cheng Jie by the collar, threw him in front of Xu Yuan, and said bluntly: "Miss Xu, this person is in your hands."
"Thank you."
Xu Yuan took down the dagger, squatted in front of Cheng Jie, and asked in a low voice: "Tell me, who ordered you to kill me?"
"Prince."
"The prince has been busy taking care of himself for a long time, how could he still think of me?"
Xu Yuan raised the dagger and looked at Cheng Jie, his eyes were extremely cold: "Cheng Jie, if you tell me, I will give you an intact body and bury you well. If you refuse to tell me, then I can only let your body be exposed in the wilderness."
"Haha, make a wish, you don't think I'm afraid, do you?"
Cheng Jie looked at Xu Yuan with endless resentment in his eyes, "How can a person care about his afterlife when he is alive? Xu Yuan, don't worry, you will go to hell soon, and your whole family will not be happy..."
"puff!"
A mouthful of blood gushed out.
Cheng Jie lowered his eyes and looked at his abdomen.
Xu Yuan pulled out the dagger and said coldly: "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. But I can't listen to anything else."
After Xu Yuan finished speaking, he saw that Cheng Jie was still alive, so he stabbed him hard with another knife.
"You owe me this. All the old and new grudges are finally wiped out today."
Xu Yuan closed his eyes, and all the scenes from his past life disappeared one by one at this moment.
From today on, she will no longer have nightmares.
-
Dawn breaks and the sun rises.
The group set out on the journey north again. Xu Yuan changed into clean clothes and sat in the front room with Chen Shan, watching the green all over the mountains and fields being slowly swallowed up.
In another March, the ice and snow completely melted, and the four people finally saw the desert.
Zhang Yue has woken up and rested for a long time. He is now completely recovered.
Before they reached Sishui County, several children saw the carriage and immediately ran to tell each other, "The Xu family is back!"
"The Zhang family's great general is back!"
One pass ten, ten pass a hundred.
Chen Shan was driving the carriage, but before he even reached Xu Yuan's home, he was surrounded by children and common people and could not move at all.
From a distance, the county magistrate also hurried over and asked with concern, "Have the Zhang family returned?"
Xu Yuan glanced at Zhang Yue.
Now that she is a girl, it is naturally not easy for her to show up in public as before.
Zhang Yue understood and jumped down the carriage road: "Zhang Yue greets the county magistrate."
"Oh my, but it's terrible. The imperial edict from the capital came early in the morning. I have been looking forward to seeing you and your sister return to Sishui County."
The county magistrate said, turning sideways, "The government office has prepared a welcoming banquet. Shall we go and rest first?"
Zhang Yue turned around and looked at the carriage.
The county magistrate saw this and remembered that he had made a wish. He slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, I forgot about the girl from the Xu family."
After the county magistrate finished speaking, he walked to the carriage and said, "Miss Xu, everyone in Sishui County knows about your story. The government office has prepared a welcoming banquet. Let's go and have dinner together."
Making a wish lifted the curtain a little.
When he saw the county magistrate, he smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, magistrate. It's just that I haven't returned home for a long time since I made a wish, so I still want to go home first."
"That's right, then why don't I go with Miss Xu?"
Xu Yuan paused and was about to refuse, but then he remembered something and said with a smile, "In that case, I'll trouble the county magistrate."
"No trouble, no trouble!" The county magistrate shook his head repeatedly.
A month ago, an imperial edict arrived from the capital.
It was actually delivered personally by the Imperial Guards.
There are probably two meanings.
One is Xu Wenxian from Sishui County, whose real name is Xu Ze. He is a descendant of the Xu family in the capital. He was implicated in the Xu family's treason case twenty years ago. Now it has been confirmed that the Xu family was wronged, so Xu Ze's identity was restored.
The second is Xu Yuan, the daughter of Xu Ze. She is brave, resourceful and talented. The Empress Dowager decreed that she be named Princess Jianing.
When this incident happened, the entire Sishui County was alarmed.
A small border town in the desert actually produced two such characters. The county magistrate must treat them like treasures, right?
Therefore, when the county magistrate learned that Xu Yuan had arrived in Sishui County, he didn't even have time to eat and immediately sent people to welcome Xu Yuan.
Although he didn't know why Xu Yuan returned to Sishui County instead of bringing his parents to the capital, the county magistrate always had a premonition that Xu Yuan would return and the entire Xu family would continue to prosper.
This is also his chance to rise to prominence.
