Chapter 112 3-Year Agreement
Chapter 112 3-Year Agreement
They are all going to leave the valley. What big thing has happened that they are going to abandon the Medical Immortal Valley?
Mu Xiaoqiao vaguely felt that this matter might be related to herself.
The current situation is unclear and we cannot act rashly. Although Mu Xiaoqiao is very worried about Ruan Haoyu's current situation, since Zhuo Sheng has returned, it means that at least for now, Ruan Haoyu will not be in too much danger.
Besides, she didn't see the wizard. Although Mu Xiaoqiao had little contact with this wizard, from the last duel with Zhuo Qingling, it can be seen that the power he possessed should not be underestimated.
Mu Xiaoqiao decided to listen to Zhuo Sheng and go out of the valley with him to take shelter temporarily.
Ling Xiao, Zhao Minna, and those retired killers left the Medical Valley with them. Two hours later, they arrived at a dense forest outside the valley.
A drizzle began to fall from the sky. After a quick march, everyone was exhausted and sat under a tree to rest.
Zhuo Sheng took out a map and gave it to Jinghong Jingyu, asking them to take Yixian Gu and other people and continue forward according to the instructions on the map to take shelter in a fishing village a hundred miles away.
After a short rest, Jinghong Jingyu bid farewell to their master and left with everyone else.
Only Zhuo Sheng, Mu Xiaoqiao, Ling Xiao and Zhao Minna were left in the dense forest. The two knew that something big had happened and refused to leave, wanting to help Mu Xiaoqiao and Ruan Haoyu.
True friendship is shown in times of adversity. Mu Xiaoqiao never expected that in a place like the Silent Organization where there is no emotion at all, she could actually make two loyal friends. It was really her luck.
At this time, the clothes of the four people were already wet by the rain, but no one cared about it. Mu Xiaoqiao asked anxiously, "Godfather, what happened? Where did Haoyu go?"
Zhuo Sheng thought for a while before speaking: "Hao Yu, he went to see his father off."
"His father?" Mu Xiaoqiao was puzzled. How come a father suddenly appeared?
Zhuo Sheng knew that he couldn't hide this matter, so he simply told Mu Xiaoqiao everything he learned today, including Ruan Haoyu's life experience.
At the same time, Li Shuo was full of anger and had to ride on his horse and lead his army of 10,000 people to leave the territory of Yixian Valley.
The wizard and Ruan Haoyu rode side by side with him. The wizard smiled and said, "Don't worry, General Li. The poison you were infected with is not harmful to your body. As long as we watch you withdraw your troops and then let us leave safely, you will be safe."
Li Shuo snorted coldly and ignored the wizard. Instead, he said to Ruan Haoyu on the other side in a deep voice: "Haoyu, are you sure you want to treat your biological father like this?"
Ruan Haoyu's face was expressionless. "I said before that I don't have a father. Now Xiao Qiao is my wife, my only relative. Nothing is too much for me to do for her."
"Are you really going to give up the chance to meet me for a woman? Give up a bright future?" Li Shuo felt a little disappointed. He thought this illegitimate son was better than the other sons in the family, but he didn't expect that he was a man of strong feelings and weak courage. How could a man be of great use if he was obsessed with love every day?
Ruan Haoyu laughed sarcastically, "A bright future? Maybe in your opinion, being a marquis or a prime minister is a bright future, but in my opinion, having a virtuous wife and filial children, and a harmonious family is happiness. People with different ideals cannot work together, so you don't need to say it anymore."
Li Shuo was silent for a moment, then made the second best choice, "Okay, since you care so much about that woman, for your sake, your father can grant you three years. You can choose to take her away or live in seclusion in the mountains. But after three years, you must take her back to Jinling, recognize your ancestors, and hand her over to the emperor for disposal."
"What if I don't agree?"
"Unless you kill me today, I will definitely use a dragnet to catch her. Haoyu, you can't escape. In other words, do you really dare to kill your father?"
There was a gleam of ruthlessness in Ruan Haoyu's eyes, and a silver needle even appeared in his hand, shining with emerald green light.
If killing him can eliminate all future troubles...
But he couldn't. No matter how bad the person in front of him was, he couldn't kill him, because his blood was flowing in his body...
"Then?"
"what?"
"I said, if I hand her over to the current emperor in three years, what will happen next? Will you let the emperor kill her? Or do you have any way to save her?"
Li Shuo knew that he had compromised, and his voice softened, "Hao Yu, you should know that if you don't remove the grass at its roots, you will never get rid of it... Do you think His Majesty will let her live in this world and become a threat to him?"
"You want me to send her to death..." Ruan Haoyu said gritting his teeth.
"Her identity is destined to end like this." Li Shuo said sternly: "You can choose whether to die now or in three years. Also, don't even think about hiding. If the army wants to do everything they can to find someone, it won't be a big deal..."
Ruan Haoyu gritted his teeth. The only way now was to delay for one day longer. Since he couldn't kill him, preventing him from counterattacking was the best way, a delaying tactic.
"Okay, I promise you." Ruan Haoyu reined in his horse and stopped.
"In that case, I will not accompany you any longer. I hope the general will keep his word. I don't want to see you again in the next three years."
After saying that, he turned his horse around, greeted the wizard, and rode away first.
The wizard did not say a word and just listened in silence. Three years. This poor couple had only three years of relationship. Fate was always playing tricks on them. Why did it let two people with opposite identities meet and fall in love?
He silently retracted the witchcraft technique and said, "General Li, the poison will be completely removed in three days. Thank you for showing mercy this time. I'm sorry."
After bowing and apologizing, the wizard also left in a cloud of dust.
The deputy general rode forward and said, "General, are you really going to let them go? How are you going to explain this to His Majesty when you return?"
Li Shuo's face was gloomy. "No one is allowed to leak a word of what happened today, otherwise, you will be punished by military law! I will explain to His Majesty."
If his sons were not incompetent and the high position he had worked so hard to reach was about to be handed over to others and was in danger of being in jeopardy, why would he pin his hopes on an illegitimate son?
"Send someone to keep an eye on him all the time. I want to know his whereabouts and location every day. If I lose him, bring his head to me!" Li Shuo ordered the deputy general in a deep voice.
The deputy general hurriedly responded and went to select the right person. Li Shuo looked at the direction where Ruan Haoyu left and murmured, "You are still young after all."
These three years are not only for Ruan Haoyu and Mu Xiaoqiao, but also for Li Shuo himself. If he captures Mu Xiaoqiao so quickly, he will be of little use to the emperor. He knows so many secrets of the emperor, and he understands the principle that when the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked.
