The prince is very cruel

“Benefactor, benefactor!”

"You finally woke up."

"Something big happened last night!" Liu Rui said in horror.

Guan Ning pursed his lips and smiled: "What's the big deal?"

"Guess what, the government office was robbed!" Liu Rui exclaimed.

"Ah?" Guan Ning pretended to be shocked: "How could it be?"

"It's true, absolutely true. The village head is furious and has been searching every house since early this morning! I heard that all the money in the silver warehouse was stolen. It was done by three bandits."

"And some small change appeared out of nowhere in my house today!" Liu Rui said fearfully.

Guan Ning smiled and said, "That might be a chivalrous man doing good deeds. Keep it safe and don't let the news leak out."

"Yeah, that's great. Finally, someone is trying to deal with these bastards who are exploiting the people in the village!" Liu Rui looked relieved, but he didn't know that all this was done by Guan Ning.

"By the way, Brother Liu, my wife and I are leaving."

"Sorry for disturbing you this night." Guan Ning said.

Liu Rui was stunned: "Benefactor, are you leaving so soon?"

"It's me. Am I uncomfortable living in this hospital?"

"No, no, we have important things to attend to, so we don't have enough time to come to Guangdong and Guangxi." Guan Ning said.

"Yes, Brother Liu Rui and Auntie, we do have something to do." Lou Xinyue also said.

"Well... okay." Liu Rui heard this and didn't want to stop him. He turned around and took out some small change from his pocket: "My benefactor, this is something I got out of thin air last night. If you don't mind, take it with you."

It can be seen that he really wants to repay Guan Ning.

Guan Ning smiled and pushed it back: "I have money, you can use it to buy some books. Last night I saw that the books in your house were all torn to pieces."

“Don’t lose heart. The east wind will sometimes blow south. Your efforts will not be in vain.”

Hearing this, Liu Rui's eyes reddened: "Do I really still have a chance?"

"Of course!" Guan Ning gave an affirmative answer.

"Who knows that a nobody today might become a world-famous hero tomorrow?"

This was like a ray of light, shining on Liu Rui, who was frustrated and about to lose his ambition due to the daily necessities of life. He seemed to have regained some confidence, and was deeply moved. He bowed deeply and said, "Thank you very much, benefactor!"

"I won't give up. I will definitely make a name for myself in my studies, and like a benefactor, I will be able to help the weak and take care of the people."

Guan Ning grinned and patted his shoulder.

"..."

After a while, Guan Ning packed up, filled the kettle, and left.

Liu Rui and his mother were escorted to the town entrance, where Guan Ning was interrogated. However, the man and woman did not match the bandits from last night, so the officers did not have time to investigate further. They asked a few questions and then left.

He only stayed in Zhangtou Town for one day, and then rushed to Baima Official Road without stopping.

Zhao Tai will return to the city through this road. This is the fastest known way to approach Zhao Tai. No matter what, we have to give it a try.

After traveling for a day and a night, we finally arrived at the Baima Official Road at noon the next day.

This is a flat official road with a very broad view. It should be a rare marching official road in Guangdong and Guangxi. The commander there was not lying. It is impossible for the troops to take a small road when returning to the city. They must take this main road.

"I'm afraid this place is not a good place for an ambush." ​​Lou Xinyue looked out, her brows slightly furrowed.

Guan Ning also sensed the trouble. The Baima Official Road was too flat and there were no trees on either side. Once the army passed by, they would be able to see everything around them.

Zhao Tai was surrounded by thousands of soldiers and horses. If there was any slight disturbance, it would not be a question of assassination or not, but a question of thousands of arrows piercing his heart and horses trampling his camp.

"He won't arrive until tomorrow."

"Let's go up and take a look. Maybe there's a better spot up ahead."

Lou Xinyue nodded, thinking that this was the only way. If she really couldn't find it, she could only look for an opportunity in Guangling City.

Along the way, the two carefully examined every section of the Baima Official Road. They didn't know if it was because they were marching to suppress bandits or for some other reason, but the road was very wide and the trees on both sides seemed to have been intentionally cut down, making it impossible to set up an ambush.
