Quick Wear Binding Rescue System

Chapter 44: Saving the General 5

By the time He Zhiqiu's wound had fully healed, He Zhiqiu had not yet decided whether to take Mu Ran back. He could only stay with Mu Ran and help Mu Ran pick herbs, hunt game, etc.

Mu Ran became anxious when he saw that the other party had not suggested taking him out after his injury healed. He didn't want to wait for the other party to leave before looking for him himself.

It seems that I should just ask the other party to go directly, otherwise when will this wooden stake react?

Just like that, while the two were thinking about each other, a group of uninvited guests broke into this quiet valley.

Mu Ran was tanning herbs that day. He Zhiqiu said he wanted to help him hunt, so he didn't stop him and he collected the herbs by himself at home.

Before he finished collecting the herbs, he felt something move between his eyebrows.

He deduced based on the knowledge in the original owner's mind and found that the valley would be quite lively today.

It seems that He Zhiqiu is not in a hurry, but his subordinates can't help it.

After he had hung all the herbs out to dry, a group of people really broke into the valley.

The leader of this group of people was a man with a jade-like face but a burly body. Judging from his temperament, this man was not an ordinary person.

When the man walked into the valley entrance, he looked up and saw a handsome young man processing medicinal herbs there. He was a little surprised.

But soon, he calmed down and walked up to Mu Ran and said, "Little brother, have you seen a young man wearing black clothes, who is very handsome and about the same height as me? If you can provide important clues, we will give you a generous reward. I hope you can tell the truth and don't hide anything."

Mu Ran looked at the serious-looking man and suddenly wanted to tease him. He said, "If I hide this from you, what will you do to me? Will you kill me?"

Ling Huaifeng looked at the young boy and thought it would be easy to ask him questions, but he didn't expect the other party to give him such an answer.

He was speechless for a moment, and after a long while he came to his senses and said, "Brother, please don't joke around. We are not the kind of people who take human life lightly. The person we are looking for is very important. Please tell me the truth, and I will reward you handsomely."

Mu Ran lost interest in this serious and difficult to tease person.

He said, "The person you are looking for will be back soon, you guys wait here."

After saying that, he ignored everyone and walked into his room.

Ling Huaifeng listened to the boy's words, thought about it, exchanged glances with the people behind him, and really stood in front of the boy's thatched hut and waited obediently.

After about a quarter of an hour, He Zhiqiu appeared in front of everyone carrying an elk on his back.

He Zhiqiu was very happy to see his deputy general and personal guards. He knew that nothing would happen to his brothers.

Ling Huaifeng and his companions were very excited when they saw the general in front of them who was intact. They knew that such a good man as the general would never die here.

Ling Huaifeng and the others behind him stepped forward, clasped their fists and saluted, saying, "General, we finally found you. Please come back with us. It has been many days since His Majesty's urgent summons. If we don't return to the capital to report on our duties, we may be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives."

He Zhiqiu had thought of all this a long time ago, but he just didn't want to leave the boy. But now that his subordinates had come to him, he couldn't pretend to be a coward anymore.

So he said to the deputy general: "Huaifeng, you take everyone here and wait for a while. I was saved by the young man here. I should thank him and say goodbye to him."

Hearing that the general was saved by the young man just now, Ling Huaifeng and his companions were very grateful to the young man. When they heard that the general wanted to say goodbye to the young man, Ling Huaifeng said, "General, don't worry about us. Thank you for saving our lives first."

He Zhiqiu didn't say much to them and walked into the house quickly. Seeing the boy sitting on the rattan chair reading a book, he didn't know how to start the conversation.

This thatched hut was not soundproof, so Mu Ran of course heard what they were saying. Hearing that He Zhiqiu didn't want to take him out of the valley, he was really angry.

He did so much in front of He Zhiqiu, just to make He Zhiqiu understand his own value.

But this person was like a piece of wood and had no intention of taking him out of the valley, which really made him angry.

So he stopped begging this person to change his mind and take him out. Before He Zhiqiu could figure out how to start, he spoke first: "I know who you are, and I also know what the people outside are doing. You don't need to say anything more to me. I will go out of the valley with you."

He Zhiqiu was very happy to hear that the young man wanted to go out with him, but then he reacted and said, "Aran, you mean the world..."

Before He Zhiqiu could finish his words, Mu Ran spoke up, "After a long period of unity, the world will eventually divide, and after a long period of division, the world will eventually unite. This will only bring suffering to the people of the world. Moreover, now that the rebel has appeared, you should also know that in this current situation, the emperor you supported to the throne may not be able to keep the country.

I wanted to leave the mountain, but I happened to meet you here. I will follow you out of the mountain and be your counselor. You will be worried about your life, but your life is very important in this world, I must protect you. "

Hearing the young man's words, He Zhiqiu felt very complicated. He certainly knew that the current emperor was not a wise ruler who could rule the world.

However, the late emperor's other princes died or were injured in internal and external struggles. In order to prevent the world from falling into chaos, he had no choice but to help the current emperor ascend the throne to ensure the stability of the current situation. After all, the external threat has not been eliminated. If internal strife breaks out again, the people of the world will surely fall into dire straits.

Although he knew that this was not the best solution, under the circumstances at the time, he had to focus on the border and eliminate foreign threats. This was the only way he could break the impasse.

He said, "Does Aran have any solution yet?"

When Mu Ran heard the other party asking him about the solution, he said, "Take me out of the mountain first and protect you. We have to do things step by step. After all, if we want to break the situation, we have to change the direction of the current situation. But the current situation cannot be changed so easily. We must know that one move affects the whole body. If we want to break the situation, the road ahead will be more difficult."

Hearing Mu Ran's words, He Zhiqiu said firmly: "No matter how difficult the road is, someone has to walk it. The people are the most vulnerable in this world, but those in power do not realize that the people are the foundation of a country. Then A Ran, pack your bags and come with us out of the valley."

Mu Ran took out the bag he had packed long ago and said, "Let's go. I'm ready."

He Zhiqiu looked at the boy who had been prepared for a long time and was a little surprised. But then he thought of the boy's identity and he was relieved.

He quickly packed his bag and left the house with the boy. He said to the serious-looking people outside, "I hope you guys keep today's incident to yourself and don't make it public. From now on, A'ran will follow me as your savior."

Although they were all shocked by the boy's identity, they all knew what was important. In addition, the conversation between the boy and the general would definitely cause an uproar outside, so they had to keep their mouths shut.

Looking at the loyal subordinates in front of him, He Zhiqiu felt very satisfied. He knew, of course, that these brothers who had been through thick and thin with him would not betray him, but this also involved the safety of the young man, so he had to be extremely cautious.

After giving the warning, He Zhiqiu said, "Let's go, we will return to the capital to report our work first. Otherwise, after so much time has passed, someone with ulterior motives might use it to sow discord between me and Your Majesty."

Mu Ran complained in his heart: "Do you need others to sow discord between you and the current emperor? The other party wishes you dead, and the unexpected incident during the performance review was just a trick of the other party."

But he didn't say this out loud. After all, he knew He Zhiqiu was a loyal man. Besides, between the emperor whom he personally supported and the person he just met, everyone knew who the other party would choose. He should not offend the other party casually. Now he needed to gain a firm foothold beside the other party before planning other things.
