However, the sound of their conversation still woke Ning Yuanzhou and the other man up. Thinking about the fact that they slept together last night, they both felt a little embarrassed.

Hearing footsteps coming from the door, Ren Ruyi got nervous and jumped out of the window.

After the storm subsided, Ning Yuanzhou decided to bid farewell to Shentu Chi and rush to Anguo with everyone. During the two days of recuperation, Ning Yuanzhou used the caravan to deliver the gold to Tianji Pavilion in Xucheng, and then combined the delegation and the caravan into one and set off.

The delegation stopped at Qinjia Village to rest. Ren Ruyi discovered that there was something wrong with the water in the village and reminded everyone not to drink it.

Yang Ying was also hit by stones thrown at him by children in the village who were dressed in mourning clothes. Of course, the stones were originally aimed at Chu Ji, but Li Xiangyi waved his hand to change the direction.

The stone hit Yang Ying, who didn't understand what she had done wrong. She looked at her sister with grievance. After all, she was this man's sister-in-law, right? How could he treat her like this? !

Qian Zhao spoke up and told Yang Dajia at this time that the battle of Wudi Tianmen Pass recruited all adult men over the age of sixteen, and there were tens of thousands of casualties.

The people of Xucheng had never enjoyed happiness when Emperor Wu was in power, and now they are even more disappointed. That child looked only eight or nine years old, but he was wearing mourning clothes. I guess the man in his family had passed away, and he didn't know how to live in the future? !

Thinking of this, everyone felt very heavy.

Yang Ying naturally knew where the problem lay, and thought that after bringing his brother back, he would definitely make him treat the people well.

The delegation arrived in Caicheng. After settling everyone down, Ning Yuanzhou decided to go to the branch hall alone to find out the news. On the way, Ning Yuanzhou discovered Ruyi's whereabouts, "What are you doing~?"

Ren Ruyi smiled and said, "Come out for a stroll~"

On the way back to the city, Ren Ruyi asked Ning Yuanzhou why he liked to eat candy?

Ning Yuanzhou said that he lost his father at a young age, and although his mother was a female official in the palace, she had to be on duty in the palace most of the time.

Life was poor at that time, and the candies his adoptive father brought to him every time he came to see him were what he looked forward to. Ruyi said that he would give his share of candies to Ning Yuanzhou in the future to make up for the candies he missed in his childhood.

Ning Yuanzhou: "Not everything can be compensated." Ren Ruyi turned and looked at him.

His experience of losing his father at a young age made him not want Ruyi to raise the child alone. Although Ruyi could teach the child well, she could not give the child everything.

This was also one of the reasons why he had been rejecting Ren Ruyi's feelings, but obviously she wouldn't understand if he told her this.

Ning Yuanzhou withdrew his gaze and asked about Ren Ruyi's biological parents. Ruyi said that her mother died of complications during childbirth when giving birth to her younger brother. Later, her father wanted to remarry and thought she was a burden, so he sold her to Zhuyiwei.

Ning Yuanzhou felt sorry for Ruyi's situation and took her to watch the shadow play.

Ruyi talked about why she considered herself as a traitor to the Zhuyi Guards after escaping from the Heavenly Prison. Ning Yuanzhou told Ruyi not to care too much about what those in power said. They were all human beings with their own brains, judgment and ideals. Although they were ordered to kill people, many times they were ultimately saving people.

Ren Ruyi looked at the excitement in the distance and said calmly, "My current wish is to avenge Empress Zhaojie and Linglong, and then have a child of my own."

Speaking of children, Ren Ruyi's eyes looked at Ning Yuanzhou with some meaning again.

Ning Yuanzhou also looked at her, and their eyes met.
