Chapter 1366 - 1446: Shadowing from the Dark
When he learned that the Eldest Brother and Lao Er in the family possessed Inner Strength, Liang Xiaosan didn’t say anything, but he was genuinely envious in his heart.
This summer, he finally had the chance to eat that strange fruit, and a few months later, he too had Inner Strength in his body.
He glided swiftly like a phantom, and moreover, he hadn’t run too far.
Soon, he stealthily returned to his original spot.
He hid in the shadows.
He saw Xiao Qingyao standing on the official road, seemingly waiting for something.
After a long time, probably more than an hour, Shujun felt his body almost frozen when he heard the sound of hooves.
"Doctor Yao!"
Yao??
Shujun frowned.
"Great, you’re safe, otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to explain it to the Prince." The first to dismount from the horse was a soldier, his arm wrapped with a blood-stained bandage.
A dozen or so people in total, also brought along a carriage.
"Those bandits are so rampant, daring to steal our carriage and horses!"
The soldier was indignantly filled with righteous anger, apparently, when Xiao Qingyao was in danger, this man had secretly slipped away to fetch reinforcements.
At this time, another person opened the carriage door and said to Xiao Qingyao, "Doctor Yao, please get in the carriage quickly. Look at your face, it’s getting blue from the cold. There’s a brazier inside the carriage to keep you warm. We’ll escort you back to the Capital."
"Hmm."
To the outside world, Xiao Qingyao appeared indifferent. After getting on the carriage, the team set off for the Capital.
Liang Shujun frowned tightly.
This person is suspicious.
Originally, he returned along the same route to secretly monitor Xiao Qingyao. After all, Xiao Qingyao had made certain guesses about the identity of the wife-master, and if these guesses were known, it would be very bad for the wife-master.
But those soldiers mentioned the Prince and even referred to Xiao Qingyao as ’Doctor Yao’?
Shujun pondered for a good while before returning to the woods to retrieve his horse after the team had gone far.
He followed unhurriedly behind the team, his mind swirling with multiple thoughts.
Xiao Qingyao, back in Kaoshan Village, rarely talked about himself, only mentioning he was a widower whose wife-master passed away early. However, he never mentioned anyone else in his family, the whereabouts of his parents, or whether he had siblings to outsiders.
Now that he thought about it carefully, this man seemed to have been hiding something from the start, but at that time, he bore no malice towards the Liang family, and he never suspected the wife-master’s identity when he met the wife-master before.
He only found out later!
Xiao Qingyao...
Shujun felt a bit uneasy in his heart.
After traveling for a day, that night, passing through a town, Xiao Qingyao’s team stopped again.
In an inn.
Xiao Qingyao took out the pouch of money that Liang Shujun had given him earlier in the morning, thought over it repeatedly, and eventually set it aside.
He spread out a sheet of paper, picked up a pen, and drew the outline of a woman’s face but suddenly crumpled the paper.
His eyes reddened, and he let out a long sigh...
After a few days, as the Capital drew nearer, Shujun, to avoid being discovered by Xiao Qingyao, kept a considerable distance behind.
There were times when he almost lost them, but fortunately, he quickly adjusted his direction and caught up again.
As Shujun and Xiao Qingyao were about to arrive at the Capital, in the outskirts of the Suburbs of the capital, Dong Huiying took out a Medicine Gu that had been soaking for ten days and nights.
This Medicine Gu was extremely small but appeared quite adorable, being chubby and white.
Liang Haoming and Yun Ge stayed inside, watching Dong Huiying with their own eyes as she cut her wrist with a small knife, and then the pure white Medicine Gu crawled slowly towards the wound. At the moment it made contact with the blood from the wound, the tiny Medicine Gu instantly melted, just like ice melting into snow...
