Transmigration: I, the Dragon Overlord, start by protecting my beautiful bride!

Hearing Lin Boguang's words, even though he knew he might be being misled, he still couldn't help but turn around.

"Hahahaha!" Lin Boguang continued to laugh loudly, "I specifically instructed them not to kill you after finding your wife. Let the brothers have some fun with her before killing her!"

Hearing him say that, Long Aotian turned around and looked carefully again. Sure enough, Wen Tao was not by his side. He was immediately thrown into a panic!

"I've been drooling over your fair-skinned and beautiful bride for a long time!" Lin Boguang continued, "My men are all roughnecks. If I let them get their hands on me, hahahahaha!"

Long Aotian didn't listen any further, but those words lingered in his mind.

Soon, he came to a fork in the road; the left led to the dock, while the right led out of the city.

He knew, of course, that Lin Boguang's words were an attempt to buy him time.

It is not difficult to deduce from the matter of the Seven Star Grass that Shi Yiguang's master had an old friend in the court who was either the current prime minister or someone from the Huayi Mansion.

Since they are old friends, they certainly wouldn't disregard the life or death of the Medicine Saint. The journey to deliver the medicine will undoubtedly be extremely difficult, and they will certainly inform you in advance. To be on the safe side, it's hard to guarantee they won't make contingency plans...

Long Aotian hesitated for only three seconds at the crossroads before choosing to save his wife without hesitation.

Once upon a time, a friend of Long Aotian's in real life told him this.

If you are faced with two choices and feel very confused about which to choose, be sure to choose the one whose outcome is more predictable and closer to reality!

In the pouring rain, Long Aotian gritted his teeth and ran at the fastest speed he had ever ever seen. He slipped and fell on the steps, and even though he was bleeding from his head, he just silently got up and continued.

As he ran toward the dock, a memory from the past flashed through his mind.

That was before he and Pinru were together. One night, she suddenly told herself that she had a cold and fever.

It was pouring rain, and without saying a word, Long Aotian immediately went downstairs to buy medicine and then headed straight for her apartment building.

When he arrived, he discovered that Pinru wasn't home at all...

She lied to herself that she was sleeping at home, but she wasn't actually home at all...

"Hey, are you crazy?"

Long Aotian had already reached the vicinity of the dock. He looked at the vast sea filled with ships and for a moment, he didn't know where to start looking.

They were initially told to hide here so that Xi'er could lead them there.

After all, Xi'er had lived at sea with her grandfather for more than ten years, so he felt at ease.

But now, looking at the boats swaying with the waves, Long Aotian was in a state of utter confusion.

Behind him, the official in charge of overseeing the dock caught up with him, grabbed his arm and said, "What's wrong with you? Didn't you see it's pouring rain today? The wind is strong and the waves are high, you can't take the boat, come back right now!"

Long Aotian turned his head and saw that the man was wearing official robes. He immediately asked him about the whereabouts of his wife.

"You're in charge of managing this dock?"

"So what?"

"Have you ever seen anyone from the Night Watchmen come here?"

“Yes, just a short while ago,” the man said. “But the waves were too high, so they’ve already gone back.”

Hearing this, Long Aotian finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he immediately felt something was wrong and hurriedly asked, "Have you seen my wife?"

Upon hearing this, the man began to scrutinize Long Aotian carefully. After a long while, he replied, "You, you are Shen Congxin, Chief Inspector Shen, right?"

"Yes, it's me."

"Oh, I saw your wife not long ago, going ashore with the granddaughter of one of our old boatmen and a little rascal." The man's attitude changed drastically as soon as he saw that the visitor was Shen Congxin.

Where did they go?

"Over there." The man pointed the way to Long Aotian, and at the same time asked in surprise, "But Lord Shen, aren't you busy, so you asked your colleague, Lord Wen Tao, to help bring your wife home?"

Upon hearing this, Long Aotian's heart, which had just been at ease, immediately jumped into his throat again.

"You gave them directions too?"

"They were wearing official robes, so naturally I..."

"oops!"

Upon hearing this, Long Aotian didn't bother to say anything more and simply followed the direction the man was pointing, chasing after him all the way!

He had been to this street before; he had walked through it when he was looking for Liu San's family.

When he arrived that day, there were many prostitutes here, but now, because of the heavy rain, they were all hiding indoors, and Long Aotian couldn't find anyone to talk to.

Moreover, the surrounding area was constantly engulfed in strong winds and torrential rain, with thunder rumbling around, making it difficult for him to hear any cries for help.

at the same time.

In one of these streets and alleys, in a small, abandoned courtyard.

Long Aotian's beloved wife, Shen Juanxin, is hiding here with Xi'er and Xiao Huatou.

"Search carefully, everyone. It should be nearby!" Wen Tao's henchman's voice came from outside the courtyard gate.

Most of these people were not from the Night Watch, but rather from the various shady characters in the gambling den.

The people in the Zhenye Division are now wary of Long Aotian's current status and position. They have no grudges against him and would not do something so stupid as to target him.

"Sister Juanxin, don't be afraid. If they come in, I'll rush out and hold them off. You can just run away while I do that!" Xi'er, dressed in very thin clothes and even barefoot, held a harpoon tightly in her hand.

Although she was trembling with fear, she was still comforting Shen Juanxin who was standing beside her.

Shen Juanxin was a lady from a respectable family, so it was only natural that she would be afraid as she had never seen such a scene before.

“Xi’er, with you protecting me, I’m not afraid at all.” Shen Juanxin was deeply moved by Xi’er’s words. She raised her slender hand and gently stroked Xi’er’s face, saying softly, “But you also heard that the person they want to capture is me. If they really find me, then you don’t need to worry about me, just hide well.”

"No!" Xi'er's eyes were very firm. She straightened her thin, dark body and said, "Lord Shen is my family's benefactor. Without him, we wouldn't exist. Besides, he caught the murderer who killed my grandfather and gave me money to buy a grave and erect a tombstone for him. I must repay this kindness!"

"You two, stop arguing." The sly little devil, who had been standing behind the door constantly observing the situation outside, said, "My mother said that men should protect women! I'm the only man here now. Give me the harpoon, and you can run away with Lord Shen's wife. I, the sly little devil, will risk my life to make sure you don't fall into their hands!"
