After traveling through time, I became the aunt of the loyal dog emperor
Chapter 276 Isolation
"Mengzhu, wake up, Mengzhu!"
A hoarse shouting sounded behind her. Wan Ning was panicked and confused, unable to believe the tragedy that happened in a flash. Being pulled by Wan Tao through the chaotic crowd, she was hit by the running people and was hurt. She desperately turned her head to look in the direction of Meng Zhu.
But she could not see anything except the soldiers who were blocked. She heard Mu Xiu calling the imperial physician in panic. At this moment, she realized that the situation was far worse than she had imagined. The arrow hit her chest. Meng Zhu was in great danger!
After finally getting through the crowd, he looked up and saw a silver horse lying on the ground, its chest heaving violently. Beside it was a young man, kneeling on the ground helplessly, stroking its neck helplessly. At that moment, the young man seemed to have received some kind of inspiration, and he turned around to look in the direction of Wan Ning.
The moment their eyes met, they clearly recognized each other. It was Su He. The dying horse lying next to him was the Xingxing who had promised to carry Meng Zhu back to Tumo. Now they had no chance!
Before Su He could speak, the servants of the Su Mansion immediately surrounded him, fearing that the assassin would hurt their young master. Seeing that other people were coming, she knew that this was not a good time to reminisce about the past, so she pushed her hat down, grabbed Wan Tao's wrist, and ran away immediately.
Because of the assassin, the city gate that was originally planned to be open was closed in advance. When Wan Ning and the others arrived, it was already heavily guarded, and those who had not left the city were taken aside for questioning.
"Miss, what should we do?" Wan Tao held Wan Ning's wrist, fearing that they would be separated.
"Now that things have come to this, let's go back to Xiaoyou's house first and make a long-term plan. Such a big thing happened in Nanye City today. I'm afraid not even a fly can get out."
After something like this happened, soldiers were everywhere checking people on the street. Wan Ning was worried that someone was following her, so she took a long detour and a small path to get back to Xiaoyou's alley. Wan Tao knocked on the door but no one came to open it. She wondered in her heart, "Strange, why didn't anyone open the door? Grandma Tang is usually at home at this time?"
Wan Ning put her ear to the door. The room was completely silent and she immediately panicked. She had a bad feeling. She had lost too many people in such a short period of time. It seemed that everyone related to her had met with misfortune during this period. Her story suddenly sped up. It seemed that she was trying to complete some KPI, meet some deadline, and frantically let those around her leave or die.
Wan Ning lost her patience. She pushed the door hard and it opened. She and Wan Tao looked at each other and said, "The door is not locked. Oh no!" Wan Ning rushed in immediately, followed by Wan Tao. They called out the names of Grandma Tang, Douzi, Liu Qingquan, and Tang Xiaoyou, but no one could answer her.
The room was in a mess. The dishes in the kitchen where Grandma Tang often stayed were thrown everywhere. The bowls that had been patched again and again finally broke into pieces on the ground. The jar containing the water that Liu Qingquan and Douzi had fetched also had a big hole in it, and the water was all over the floor.
"Miss, come and see!" Wan Tao, who was searching in the room, shouted in panic. Wan Ning rushed out without thinking.
When she saw the room that was turned upside down, Wan Ning actually felt a little relieved. Fortunately, it was not what she had imagined, so there was a chance that they were still alive.
The things in the room were turned upside down, clothes and quilts were thrown everywhere, and even the things under the bed were pulled out. They were afraid that something would be missed, and it didn't look like it was done by one person.
"Miss, look at this."
Wan Ning looked in her direction and saw that the table in the messy room was intact, with even two cups of cold tea on it.
"He's still in the mood to drink tea. It seems that the person who came this time is our old friend." Wan Ning said her guess, but soon confirmed her guess.
She picked up the cup and found a gold leaf underneath. It was the one she left for Liu Qingquan. These gold leaves could also be seen as things from the palace. The people who came this time obviously took away everything, but only left a gold leaf here. It must not be just for money.
Thinking of this, Wan Ning actually sat on the chair calmly, picked up the teapot and drank directly. Looking at her abnormal appearance, Wan Tao was a little worried and asked, "Miss, what should we do now?"
"Wait," Wan Ning picked up the gold leaf and turned it in front of her. The reflected golden light swirled back and forth on her face. Then she added, "The enemy's target is us. They also want to use Liu Qingquan and Tang Xiaoyou's names to deal with us. How can they die so easily? He knows our whereabouts, but refuses to report to the authorities. It seems that he wants to deal with us personally. In this case, let's wait for the person behind the scenes to come to see us. I want to know who hates me so much!"
"Miss."
Wan Ning took a deep breath, turned her back to Wan Tao and waved her hand, comforting her: "It's okay, things will work out when the time comes. Wan Tao, you can hide first. If anything happens to me, you can still save me, okay?"
As smart as Wan Tao was, how could she not understand that Wan Ning said that just because she didn't want her to follow her into danger, and she also knew that she had no one to turn to for help. Since she betrayed the emperor, she had no chance to return to his camp. She could barely count on having some friendship with Zi Jian, but he had already gone to Beiqi with Prince Qi, and she was afraid that he would never come back. In Wan Tao's view, she had already died once, or her previous life was worse than death, so she was not afraid of anything.
So Wan Tao did not answer, but looked at Wan Ning firmly. Coincidentally, Wan Ning was also looking at her, and they understood each other's answer after just one glance.
The two of them roughly tidied up the messy room and threw away all the broken things. It was evening when they finished all this. Finally, it felt a bit like home again. The two of them simply sat on the ground in the yard for the rest of the time, looking at the gradually round moon in the sky, waiting for the call from the person behind the scenes.
This time, even if the situation is very dangerous, she will rescue them even at the risk of her life. Wan Ning can no longer accept that someone around her will leave like this again.
It was quiet all around until late at night. An arrow pierced the sky, brushed past Wan Ning's ear, and hit the door behind him.
"Miss!"
Wan Ning subconsciously covered her ears and looked in the direction where the arrow came from. At this time, Wan Tao had already pulled out the arrow.
"I'm fine, I'm fine, there's something on this arrow!"
Wan Tao handed the arrow to Wan Ning and replied, "No."
Wan Ning stared at the arrow carefully and muttered quietly, "There's no letter. Why did they go through so much trouble?"
She looked at the arrow again, staring at the pattern on it, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind. She stood up, pulled Wan Tao and walked out. As she walked, she muttered, "I know, I know!"
