Shen Fugui also patted the dust on his body and said softly: "In that case, I will listen to mother. Under mother's leadership, I can achieve what we have today, and I feel very satisfied. If mother didn't help us, To solve the problem, I’m afraid I’m still a nobody now.”

"What are you mumbling here? If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will kill you right now." One of them heard them whispering in a low voice and became angry.

Several people followed Yao Shu with the thought of accepting their fate.

As soon as they reached the bamboo forest, several strong men suddenly rushed out from the bamboo forest and surrounded them.

Shen Nanshan was startled subconsciously: "Could they still have an ambush in the bamboo forest? It seems that we really have no choice but to accept our fate."

Yao Shu didn't know that the men behind her were already following her with a death mentality.

She swayed slightly and immediately hid in the bamboo forest.

The Shen family was shocked and didn't know what she was doing.

Seeing that they were still standing there, Yao Shu was shocked and waved to them: "Why are you still standing here? Why don't you come here and hide together?"

Only then did several people react and hurriedly squatted beside her.

"What is going on? Aren't the few people in the bamboo forest the same group as these masked men?" Shen Nanshan couldn't help but ask.

"Don't you think these people look familiar?"

After hearing what she said, Shen Nanshan looked carefully and suddenly realized that the men rushing out of the bamboo forest were from the village.

Shen Nanshan was shocked: "When did they catch up?"

"I knew a long time ago that I would definitely encounter an ambush, so I asked Xiao Rui to call for help in advance. Now it seems that my prediction was correct." Yao Shu hid herself tightly and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Did you already know that someone would hunt us down?"

Shen Nanshan was completely confused. He didn't know why Yao Shu could guess everything.

Yao Shu nodded and said: "Yes, this time Mr. Li suffered a defeat in our hands, so naturally he will not let it go. And we have just been granted official positions, but many people don't know it. Now is the time to get rid of us." Good timing. This time their plans have failed. I don’t know what they are going to do next time.”

Yao Shu, with the idea of ​​​​taking care of things as they come, said: "As long as we get to the next place, we can meet up with General Ling. Wait patiently for the arrival of President Wang. By then, it will be safe for a group of us to go together. Some."

Hearing this, Shen Nanshan couldn't help but nodded.

"What you said makes sense. Since we are already on the way, we will definitely encounter many accidents. However, I did not expect that the Minister of Rites would kill us. It seems that he will not give up until he achieves his goal." Shen Nanshan was a little angry. His bottom line was Yao Shu and his relatives.

Now the Minister of Rites has repeatedly put them in crisis, which has reached the limit of his patience.

While the two were still discussing how to proceed, the fighting outside had stopped.

The two of them poked their heads out slightly and found the bodies of a group of men in black lying on the ground.

Xiao Rui walked forward slowly, indicating that the danger had been resolved.

Shen Nanshan felt a little surprised and looked at Xiao Rui with wide eyes: "You killed them all?"

Xiao Rui smiled and waved his hand: "How is it possible? Although we are from the village, we are not so rough. These people are dead soldiers. After discovering that they could not defeat us, in order not to expose the people who hired them, So he bit the poison and committed suicide."

Yao Shu frowned, not expecting these people to be so cruel.

"These brothers will escort you to the next town. After confirming that you have entered the town safely, we will leave. You need to walk forward on your own, but I heard that you also know people in the town, so it should be There is no big problem. If you encounter a problem that cannot be solved, you can come back to us immediately. We will always be behind you. After all, if it weren't for your help this time, we would be in a very embarrassing situation now. "Xiao Rui waved his hand and motioned for several others to follow their carriage.

Shen Qiu also joined this hearty struggle. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and started driving the carriage again.

Soon, they arrived at the next town.

After saying goodbye to Xiao Rui's friends, they went to the inn to look for General Ling Da.

General Ling had been waiting for them for a long time. Hearing that they were assassinated on the road, he was even more anxious. He was ready to rush out to rescue them with a knife in hand.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw them appearing in front of him, with a look of surprise on his face: "Are you okay?"

Yao Shu shook her head slightly and briefly recounted what happened in the past two days.

Hearing Yao Shu's narration, General Ling was very surprised: "In my knowledge, the Minister of Rites would never do such an impulsive thing. Are you sure there is no misunderstanding here?"

"To be able to accurately identify us and rush over to kill us, I think only the people they hired can do it. However, there is one thing worth noting. If the Minister of Rites cannot do this, Don't mean that it was Mr. Li's plan from beginning to end." Yao Shu finished speaking with a mysterious smile on her face.

General Ling immediately understood and nodded approvingly: "Your idea is correct. I will inform Marquis Ningyuan now."

Shen Nanshan still didn't understand the riddle between the two of them. He scratched his head in confusion and asked, "What are you going to do next?"

"Naturally, we want to find a way to get rid of Mr. Li first. As long as the capable son of the Minister of Rites is deposed, his next step must be to train a new assistant. No matter who he trains, we can dethrone him before he succeeds. We can even place our own people so that we can keep track of his whereabouts at all times." After Yao Shu finished analyzing, Shen Nanshan showed a surprised expression on his face.

"I didn't think so much at all. It seems like this family really can't survive without you."

Hearing Shen Nanshan's pursuit, Yao Shu smiled proudly.

General Ling looked at the loving look of the two of them and couldn't help but joke: "This family will certainly not be without Mrs. Shen. After all, Mrs. Shen still has to stay with my brother for a long time."

Hearing this, Uncle Yao suddenly felt a sense of loss in his heart.
