The ancient martial arts master traveled through time
Chapter 21 Ruan Xiao9’s Plan [3]
Ruan Xiaojiu didn't get angry when he saw Ruan Jun'an's furious look. Instead, he asked, "Do you have the Ruan Family Army's token?"
Ruan Jun'an suddenly remembered that the token had always been kept by his grandfather. Without the token, he could not mobilize all the Ruan family troops. Thinking of this, he felt a little dejected.
"What should we do? Fifth Master is in trouble too. I heard that the elders are not on grandpa's side this time." Ruan Jun'an said in a low voice.
He touched his legs and realized that he was a cripple and could do nothing. Ruan Jun'an exuded helplessness from head to toe.
Seeing Ruan Jun'an's distress, Ruan Xiaojiu asked again: "Have you thought it through?"
Ruan Jun'an was still immersed in his own confusion of incompetence and did not pay attention to Ruan Xiaojiu's question.
Ruan Xiaojiu said impatiently: "Ruan Jun'an, can you cheer up a little and stop looking like the sky is falling? The emperor doesn't dare to kill me yet, why are you so anxious? How can you be the emperor in the future if you look so unstable?"
Ruan Jun'an was stunned by Ruan Xiaojiu's roar. Yes! The emperor should not dare to attack Grandpa now. He was only thinking about how to save Grandpa, and his mind was confused. This is a taboo.
Grandpa had told him many times before that he should not be impatient or panic when encountering problems, and that he should calmly analyze the situation to find the most effective solution. How could he have forgotten this?
He felt much more at ease when he saw Ruan Xiaojiu's calm and composed appearance. His sister was no ordinary person now.
"Xiaojiu, what do you think we should do now? We must rescue Grandpa."
"We must save him, but saving Grandpa won't solve the fundamental problem. What then? Can you guarantee that the emperor won't cause us trouble again? Since you can't, today is the best opportunity to turn things around... and rebel against him."
"Brother, have you made up your mind? Tonight is your last chance. Do you want to be the emperor or live in fear every day? It's your choice."
Ruan Jun'an is a passionate, patriotic and family-loving young man. If his legs had not been crippled and his pride had not been broken, he would have been able to stand on his own and rescue his grandfather even without Ruan Xiaojiu.
But what Xiaojiu said was right. The general's mansion is now living in dire straits. If he doesn't cheer up and change the status quo, the Ruan family army will be disappointed, the people will suffer, and even his dead parents will not be able to rest in peace.
When Ruan Jun'an figured this out, the expression on his face became serious and his eyes became sharp, and the cold aura that only someone who had killed someone was instantly revealed.
Ruan Xiaojiu smiled. "Brother, that's right. There are no cowards in the General's Mansion. We cannot allow ourselves to be bullied. We are loyal, but we cannot be pedantic. We must resist when necessary..."
"Brother, let's summon the Ruan Army! Rescue Grandpa, force the emperor to abdicate, and you take the throne."
Hearing Ruan Xiaojiu say this, Ruan Jun'an still felt a little uneasy and immediately showed a hesitant expression.
Ruan Xiaojiu's face immediately darkened. As long as Ruan Jun'an dared to say no, he would never be able to stand up again. She would also look down on this cheap brother because he was useless. A person without ambition, indecisive, hesitant, and hesitant would only fail at any time.
But it was only a moment, and Ruan Jun'an regained his firm attitude, "Okay, the token should be in grandpa's study, let's go look for it together. Once we find it, we will rebel against the Qingfeng Kingdom and rescue grandpa."
Ruan Xiaojiu was not disappointed and was even satisfied with Ruan Jun'an's performance.
Ruan Xiaojiu helped Ruan Jun'an to the yard. It was dark. Looking at the stars in the sky, his face was full of cold murderous intent.
Ruan Jun'an had recovered after a day's rest. Ruan Xiaojiu gave him some vitality. Now with Ruan Xiaojiu carrying him, he could barely walk slowly. Although his feet were basically off the ground, he could still exert some strength.
The Emperor? Damn the Emperor! How dare you mess with my Ruan Xiaojiu's grandfather? Are you ready to die?
They came to the old general's study. Although it had been cleaned, traces of a fight could still be seen.
Ruan Xiaojiu touched her heart. She still remembered the first pain there was because of the old general. The old general was slapped by Liu Meiyu. She had no feelings for him at that time, but when she saw the old general being beaten, her heart actually felt pain and was very uncomfortable, but she liked it very much.
It had always been numb there. For over five hundred years, she had been a walking corpse, a monster. The sudden pain was a novelty to her. Although it hurt, she enjoyed it. This was the only way to live, the only way to feel alive. From that moment on, the old general was her ward, and anyone who touched him would die.
What's more, she can now clearly feel the care and warmth given to her by her grandfather, and her heart is warm.
Ruan Xiaojiu was searching for the token in the study when Butler Luo knocked on the door hurriedly. Ruan Junan sat aside and exchanged glances with Ruan Xiaojiu. Then Ruan Xiaojiu also sat down and said, "Come in."
Butler Luo pushed the door open and entered, bowing and saying anxiously, "A set of poems is being circulated outside today."
As he spoke, he handed a piece of paper in front of the two of them. Ruan Xiaojiu only took a glance and knew what was on it.
After Ruan Junan picked it up and finished reading it, he felt mixed emotions. Could it be that someone was secretly manipulating and adding fuel to the fire? Was it good or bad?
"I heard that the Emperor was furious and attacked the old general because this thing reached the Emperor," said Steward Luo.
Ruan Jun'an's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could pinch a fly to death. Ruan Xiaojiu said, "Uncle Luo, we understand. Please go down!"
Butler Luo agreed with a "yes" and went out.
Ruan Jun'an looked at Ruan Xiaojiu and said, "Do you think this person wants to kill our General's Mansion? How can the emperor not be angry if this is publicized? Is our rebellion now a trap for someone?"
The two were talking inside the house when they heard the sound of fighting outside. Ruan Jun'an was suddenly filled with anger. Their family was already in this situation, but those people still wouldn't let them go. Did they have to wait until the general's mansion was destroyed before they would stop?
He said to Ruan Xiaojiu, "Maybe another assassin has come. Their eyes are cold. Let's go out and take a look. There are not many Ruan family soldiers left in the mansion, and most of them are wounded."
Butler Luo rushed over, followed by a young man named Si carrying the unconscious Ruan Siqi. Time was urgent, so he didn't knock, but pushed the door open and said anxiously, "Master, Miss, please run through the secret door. There are hundreds of assassins outside. I'm afraid today will be a dangerous day. I will lead the Ruan family army in the mansion to do our best to hold them off. You take the Second Master and run through the secret door! As the saying goes, there is hope. The general should be safe in the palace for the time being. Your safety is the most important thing."
"I've followed the General since I was a teenager. I'll buy you some time even if it means risking my old bones."
After saying that, he turned around and walked to an inconspicuous vase. He turned it gently, and the row of bookshelves next to it slowly moved, opening an exit.
Butler Luo said with a serious expression, "Let's go quickly, or we'll be too late."
