Chapter 221 1 Thoughts on Guanshan 28
Lin Jiu sat there, looking left and right. A cup of tea had passed, but the excitement of those people seemed to have not diminished.
After hearing Lin Jiu's words, Qian Zhao, although anxious to see Chai Ming, remained rational and knew that he could not leave the mission without permission. However, he could tell Ning Yuanzhou and others the good news.
So he gathered Ning Yuanzhou, Shisan, Sun Lang, Yuanlu and others together, and even Yang Ying came to join in the fun, and brought Ren Ruyi along.
And so, the above scene occurred.
Yuanlu looked at Lin Jiu with gratitude and said, "It turned out that Brother Chai Ming was also rescued by you, Xiao Jiu. It turns out that Xiao Jiu is a fairy who has descended to earth."
For Genroku, Shiba Akira was of similar age and outgoing, and the two had a very good relationship. When he first heard that Shiba Akira had died on the battlefield, he could hardly believe the fact.
Now that he knows that Chai Ming was saved by Lin Jiu and that his illness was cured because of Lin Jiu, in his heart, Lin Jiu is undoubtedly like a fairy who has descended to earth.
Lin Jiu didn't know what to say for a moment after hearing Yuanlu's unique praise, but she could indeed be called a fairy. It's just that spiritual power cannot be cultivated in this world, otherwise she could really perform a fairy descent to the earth for Yuanlu, Lin Jiu thought with some regret.
"That's great! It's good to be alive." Yang Ying was also very surprised to hear the news. A relieved smile appeared on her pretty face.
Because his royal brother made a wrong decision, which led to the defeat in the Battle of Tianmen Pass, he finally put the blame of the failure on the people of Tiandao who followed him, making them suffer injustice. This has always been a pain in Yang Ying's heart.
Whenever she thought of this, Yang Ying felt immense guilt and self-blame, as if she too was burdened with a heavy burden of guilt. Now, hearing that someone was still alive, her joy was beyond words.
Yang Ying's words hit the mark for Ning Yuanzhou and the others.
Upon hearing this sudden good news, everyone was a little at a loss for a moment, just as surprised as Qian Zhao was when he first learned about this.
When they came to their senses, they expressed their gratitude and appreciation to Lin Jiu, which made Lin Jiu feel relaxed both physically and mentally.
Afterwards, everyone asked about Chai Ming and others with concern, including their current location and injury conditions.
Lin Jiu answered every question in detail. When they learned that Chai Ming and others were not far away from them and their injuries were gradually improving, Ning Yuanzhou, Qian Zhao and several others exchanged glances and finally decided to continue along the delegation's route because they would pass by where Chai Ming was.
Lin Jiu listened to their discussion silently and nodded secretly in his heart, thinking that this was a wise choice.
After all, their first priority was to escort Yang Ying to Anguo to complete the mission, not to reunite the brothers.
However, although they could not meet, they still had the opportunity to communicate through letters. Lin Jiu told them this idea, and Qian Zhao, Ning Yuanzhou and others were very happy after hearing it.
After finishing the discussion, Qian Zhao's gaze shifted from Sun Lang and the others to Ren Ruyi beside Yang Ying. His eyes were deep, and he suddenly said, "You are the Zhuyi Guard." His tone was firm, without any doubt.
These words were like a stone dropped into a lake, instantly shattering the calm. The atmosphere became tense and stagnant. Sun Lang and Yu Shisan froze, Ning Yuanzhou's expression changed slightly, Yuan Lu seemed somewhat bewildered, and only Yang Ying looked bewildered.
Ren Ruyi looked directly at Qian Zhao without avoiding the question and admitted frankly, "Yes."
Then, she turned to look at Ning Yuanzhou, a hint of doubt in her eyes. She originally thought that Ning Yuanzhou had revealed her true identity to Qian Zhao, Yu Shisan and others, but now it seemed that was not the case.
Recalling the days when she had fought side by side with them, and seeing the hostility expressed by Sun Lang and Yu Shisan, she felt an indescribable bitterness in her heart.
But she quickly adjusted her mood and her face regained its composure, as if the emotional fluctuations just now had never happened.
After Qian Zhao learned that Chai Ming was still alive, his mood was no longer as extreme as before. In addition, Ren Ruyi had provided them with a lot of help in the delegation, so he was able to ask about her identity so calmly.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Ning Yuanzhou, waiting for his explanation.
Ning Yuanzhou's eyelids trembled slightly, and he finally said calmly: "Ruyi is the former left envoy of the Zhuyi Guard, Ren Xin."
Seeing Sun Lang and the others' expressions becoming increasingly grim, he continued, "I know what you're thinking. Yes, the Zhuyi Guards do have a deep hatred for the Liudaotang, but that doesn't mean Ruyi is hostile to the Liudaotang now. In fact, Ruyi left the Zhuyi Guards five years ago and became a spy. For spies, each serves their own master. Those who should be hated are those who hold power, not the tools in their hands. Moreover, Ruyi has been helping us all this time, so how can we talk about harming her? She agreed to join the delegation to teach His Highness because she had an agreement with me..."
Qian Zhao and the others fell into a long silence. Then Qian Zhao raised his eyes, looked at Ren Ruyi and said, "I'm sorry."
After hearing this, Ren Ruyi did not respond immediately. Instead, he glanced at everyone present. When he saw Ning Yuanzhou, he paused, then sneered and walked away.
A group of people were left looking at each other in confusion, and Ning Yuanzhou touched his nose awkwardly.
Finally, after some explanation from Lin Jiu and Yu Shisan, who understood women's thoughts very well, she realized that the matter was over and Ren Ruyi would not leave because of it.
