Seeing Lan Shuang's cautious movements, Zeng Wenyu frowned: "What happened?"
"No...nothing..."
Although she said it was nothing, there was an expression on Lan Shuang's face that something was wrong. She just didn't want to tell Zeng Wenyu about these things.
"It's really nothing?" Zeng Wenyu stared into Lan Shuang's eyes. "I just went to the camp, and the guards in front of the camp said that Wu Yue was not in the Third Army. How long have I been away, and the Third Army has already driven Wu Yue out?"
"This……"
"It's not just Wu Yue, where's Nanyue? She's not in the barracks either. What happened in Shubian City? You're a captain, and you made such a great contribution in the previous war with Zhengxi City. How come you were kicked out of the Third Army?"
When Lan Shuang heard Zeng Wenyu say this, she lowered her head: "I... I wasn't kicked out... I retired on my own..."
"Retired on your own?"
Zeng Wenyu looked at Lan Shuang in confusion. He didn't believe that Lan Shuang wanted to retreat voluntarily. Moreover, he noticed as soon as he entered the door that Lan Shuang was seriously injured. She was just holding on after seeing Zeng Wenyu. Zeng Wenyu had already smelled the scent of herbs in the small courtyard.
"Yes," Lan Shuang still insisted, "Life in the military camp is too monotonous, and I'm tired of fighting and killing. It's better to retire early..."
Before Lan Shuang finished speaking, Zeng Wenyu heard the hurried footsteps outside the courtyard, followed by fierce knocks on the door, and at the same time, someone outside the door shouted fiercely: "Lan Shuang! Open the door! When will you pay us back the thirty top-grade spirit stones you owe us?! If you can't pay it back, you might as well use yourself to pay off the debt!"
The knocking on the door continued. Zeng Wenyu withdrew his gaze from the courtyard gate and looked into Lan Shuang's eyes again. He saw obvious panic in Lan Shuang's eyes.
"Tell me what happened. Don't hide it from me anymore."
"Ah..." Lan Shuang sighed softly, "Okay, I'll send these people away first, and then come back and talk to you in detail."
"No need to go through so much trouble," Mu Zhi suddenly said, "I'll deal with those people outside, you and your brother can have a good chat."
After saying this, Mu Zhi nodded to Zeng Wenyu and Lan Shuang. She turned and walked towards the courtyard gate. Just as Lan Shuang was about to speak, Zeng Wenyu grabbed her hand and led her towards the inner room.
Holding Lan Shuang's hand and walking into the inner room, Zeng Wenyu frowned as he saw that there was only a bed and bedding in the inner room. There were very obvious signs of someone rummaging through the room, and such signs could not have been caused by Lan Shuang. You have to know that this is her house, and Lan Shuang is a very tidy person. All things are placed in order, so there is no need to rummage around if you want to take something.
Zeng Wenyu didn't know why Lan Shuang didn't clean up the places in the house that had been ransacked. He didn't ask, but just pulled over a chair and sat on it, quietly waiting for Lan Shuang to tell him what had happened during this period.
Seeing Zeng Wenyu sitting down, Lan Shuang also sat on a chair. She looked at Zeng Wenyu and began to tell what happened after Zeng Wenyu left.
"After the war between us and Zhengxi City ended, Sister Hua, Sister Nongyu and I all felt that we would be promoted at least one level, and that was indeed the case. The City Lord's Mansion has already announced the promotion appointments, and it will be implemented once the time comes and our entire Third Army is commended.
But just three days later, a group of people suddenly came to City Lord Huo's City Lord's Mansion. Those people were wearing the costumes of the Central Imperial City. I don't know what they said when they came to the City Lord's Mansion, but suddenly there was news that City Lord Huo was plotting a rebellion. Everyone in the City Lord's Mansion was detained. After Sister Hua and I got the news, we tried every means to save Jue'er. City Lord Huo, his wife, and the eldest daughter Huo Xiang were all imprisoned, and even visitors were not allowed.
Jue'er was still young, so she naturally didn't know what had happened in the City Lord's Mansion. In order to find out the reason, Sister Hua joined forces with Zhang Manting of the First Army and Li Chuangan of the Second Army to go to the City Lord's Mansion, and the nightmare began from this time.
Zhang Manting of the First Army betrayed Sister Hua and Li Chuangan. He framed Sister Hua, Li Chuangan and City Lord Huo for treason. The priest of the Central Imperial City captured Sister Hua and Li Chuangan on the spot. When this news spread, my sisters of the Third Army and the soldiers of the Second Army naturally did not believe it. Under the leadership of Li Chuangan's deputy general, Nong Yu and me, we mutinied, but... the priest was too powerful, and they subdued us without much effort. In the chaos, I protected Nong Yu and left, while Li Chuangan's deputy general was killed on the spot.
Then the Second Army and the Third Army underwent a major reshuffle. Almost all the sisters were replaced, and even I was directly dismissed from my position as a thousand households and was driven out of the Third Army. I knew that the strength of those priests was very high, and we had no way to resist. We could only return to our homes. When I came back, I saw that my house had been turned upside down. Then someone kept harassing me, telling everyone how many top-grade spirit stones I had borrowed. Now even the neighbors have all left because they were fed up with it.
As for what they are looking for? I guess they already know that we rescued Jue'er and that I sent Nongyu away, so they keep looking for me. "
After listening to what Lan Shuang said, Zeng Wenyu frowned even more tightly. He knew that Lan Shuang was not lying. In this regard, there was no need for Lan Shuang to deceive him. Moreover, under Zeng Wenyu's exploration of spiritual sense, he did find the breath of Hua Wu Yue in the prison of Shubian City. At the same time, he also sensed several cultivators in the Consciousness Realm in the City Lord's Mansion. They were drinking and listening to music. Each of them was accompanied by several beautiful female cultivators, and some of them even had their hands reaching into the lapels of those female cultivators.
"Are you sure these monks are the worshippers of Kangguo Central Imperial City? They are so unruly, are they the worshippers of the Central Imperial City?"
"This... I don't know, but they were indeed wearing the clothes of the priests. Even City Lord Huo didn't do anything to them at the time and just surrendered..." Lan Shuang paused here, and she suddenly looked at Zeng Wenyu, "Wenyu... How do you know that those priests are so unrestrained? Haven't you seen them before?"
"I have indeed never seen them, but my current cultivation is enough for me to see them here," Zeng Wenyu stood up and walked to Lan Shuang's side, stretched out his right hand and gently stroked Lan Shuang's cheek, "Xiao Shuang, I am now a cultivator in the God Realm, you don't have to worry about my impulsiveness, just tell me honestly where Nanyue and the others went, and I will rescue Wu Yue, and I will also ask City Lord Huo what the situation is with those so-called offerings!"
