Chapter 730 The Passes Have Been Crossed (2)
After everything settled down, the group got up.
"Why did you come to rescue me?"
"Ningtou, this is all Miss's order," Guan Zhao said with a chuckle.
"Miss, who is it?"
"It's our sect leader. He told us to protect your life, Ningtou," Zhou Yin nodded and said.
"Yes, Miss said it doesn't matter whether the emperor lives or dies, but you can't be harmed."
"Let's put that aside for now. Where are Chai Ming and the others?"
“Chai Ming should be ahead. He took the arrow for Emperor Wu. But Ning, don’t worry, I gave him a fake death drug. He’ll be fine.” Guan Zhao didn’t not want to save the other brothers, but there wasn’t enough time, so he could only choose which ones to save.
Those Heavenly Dao brothers who were captured and taken away with Emperor Wu are definitely not going to be brought back.
"Find Chai Ming and the others first, then go home." Ning Yuanzhou looked around. Now was not the time to ask questions; he would talk about it when they got back.
And so, the three of them found Chai Ming, Zhao Yang, and Liu Ning, but they really couldn't find the others.
"Does this medicine really work?"
"Of course, this was developed by Miss herself. Although it's called the 'Phantom Death Pill,' it can protect a person's heart meridian, giving them a glimmer of hope. After feeding them the 'Minor Rejuvenation Pill,' they'll be fine. Miss prepared this for you!" Guan Zhao and Zhou Yin said as they fed the three of them the medicine.
"There are quite a lot, but she never gave me the fake death medicine." Ning Yuanzhou reflected on whether he had neglected his younger sister too much over the years.
After Chai Ming and the other two woke up, the six of them set off on their journey home.
What is Wangyou doing? She went out and picked up two exceptionally handsome men, took them home and took good care of them.
When the others woke up, they learned that the two were originally young masters from a prominent family, but their family had fallen on hard times, and now only the two of them were still alive.
Wangyou had someone verify their information, and after confirming that there were no problems, she took them in to live in her mansion.
The members of Qianji Pavilion realized that their Pavilion Master wasn't against marriage; she just hadn't met someone she liked. However, the two young masters were indeed handsome, but they were about the same age as the Pavilion Master. Wouldn't they be a bit too old to serve her?
Wangyou was unaware of the worries her subordinates had, and now, looking at the secret report that had been sent to her, she felt a bit of a headache.
Of the Heavenly Dao members who followed Wu Di this time, besides the two she sent to watch over Ning Yuanzhou, there were three who had taken the fake death medicine, a few died, and most of them were captured along with Wu Di.
Given Ning Yuanzhou's character, he probably won't easily let go of those brothers.
Wangyou shook her head, then shattered the paper scraps. These had nothing to do with her. Besides, she couldn't make decisions for her brother. At most, she would keep an eye on things and make sure he didn't kill her.
Of course, this war was not without its benefits. The Thousand Machines Pavilion of Forget-Worry recruited many more people, all of whom were pitiful, and the power of the Thousand Machines Pavilion expanded further.
It's no exaggeration to say that if Wangyou were to order the closure of all shops and water transport projects right now, half of these countries would probably be unable to operate, and even if the rest could operate, they wouldn't be able to recover in a short time.
With more money, she could do good deeds. Wangyou would buy estates and fields in various places and then provide shelter for the poor. In return, those people would wholeheartedly serve her, creating a virtuous cycle.
Wangyou stayed at home for half a month, and then new news arrived: her brother Ning Yuanzhou had returned to the Ning family's old house with those people.
Wangyou thought about it and decided not to go back; she would wait a few days.
To her surprise, a woman had infiltrated the old house, and it turned out to be Ren Xin, the Left Envoy of the Anguo Zhuyiwei who had been dead for a long time.
After thinking for two seconds, Wangyou decided to ignore it. That Left Envoy was good-looking and had a similar profession to Ning Yuanzhou. Maybe they could spark something special and perhaps they would even become kindred spirits and end up together.
Wangyou sent a message to Ning Yuanzhou, telling him that he could come to see her after he finished his business in Wudu, as she wouldn't be going there every day, as it would be too much trouble.
After this battle, Ning Yuanzhou also wanted to retire to the mountains and forests and never have to care about worldly affairs again.
Ning Yuanzhou wanted to retire into seclusion, but there were always people who didn't want him to!
While Wangyou was reading the messages, her brother seemed to be having a pretty exciting time. However, judging from the news, her brother didn't seem to know that the woman named Ruyi was Ren Xin. It seems that the Six Paths Hall of Wu Kingdom isn't that powerful after all.
The way these two interact is a bit funny. They're testing each other, teasing each other, and occasionally even getting intimate. It makes Wangyou want to run back to Wudu to see the fun up close.
That's what she thought, and that's what she did.
"Achen, Linlin, pack your things, let's go to Wudu to see the excitement."
Xie Yuchen and Zhang Qilin were curious: what kind of excitement could make Wangyou, who would rather lie down than sit, travel thousands of miles back to see the excitement?
“It’s my brother. He’s almost thirty, almost thirty years old. It’s not easy for him to find a woman he can get close to, so I have to pay more attention to her,” Wangyou said with a grin.
"Then let's go prepare some gifts for our eldest brother," Xie Yuchen and Zhang Qilin said somewhat nervously.
"No need. Bringing so much is too much trouble; we might have to bring it back anyway."
The group traveled light and headed towards Wudu.
News kept coming from the road. The political situation in the court was changing. The Prince of Danyang wanted to succeed to the throne, so he wanted Emperor Wu to die in Anguo. The Empress also said that she was pregnant and wanted to become the Empress Dowager Regent. Zhang Song was unwilling to give up the power he held, so he would definitely not allow the Prince of Danyang to succeed to the throne.
The three factions in the court were in a tripartite balance of power, and none of them wanted to back down. So, after some maneuvering, they decided to send someone with ransom to Anguo to redeem Emperor Wu.
But choosing someone to be the envoy is difficult. Apart from the Prince of Danyang, Emperor Wu's only brother is the sickly Prince of Qi. No one would be chosen to be the envoy. However, although this person is a nobody, he is quite active in his private affairs.
Finally, they introduced a little princess who grew up in the cold palace, disguised as a man, and sent her as an envoy to Anguo. It was truly a wonderful drama.
Her brother Ning Yuanzhou's side was also not peaceful, with wave after wave of people coming. However, her brother did not tolerate it, and the deputy hall master of the Six Paths Hall died in the Ning residence.
"My brother killed someone and didn't even bother to find another place. Why did he have to dirty his own family's land?"
As they were talking, they arrived at the Ning residence, and Wangyou went inside to see what was going on.
The young lady, Ren Ruyi, was standing very close to Ning Yuanzhou, like lovers being intimate.
"Brother, did I come at the wrong time? Why don't I go out and you two continue?" Wangyou walked out with a smile.
Upon seeing his younger sister, Ning Yuanzhou quickly pushed Ren Ruyi aside, saying, "Wangyou, you've mistaken me for someone else. Why are you back?"
"Isn't it true that the drama in Wudu is getting more and more exciting? I came back to watch the fun, and I also heard that you and this girl have a special relationship, so I came to see you," Wangyou said, suppressing a smile.
