"Here is Miss Shaoyao's prescription. Leave a copy in the mansion. I will send five days' worth of prescription tomorrow."

As he spoke, the doctor left the prescription he had just written on the table.

After struggling for a long time, looking at the time, it would be dawn in another hour.

"Shen Wantang, is he really an assassin as you said? Could it be that you wanted to get out and wanted to kill Shaoyao?"

Zhang Shan sat aside with a sarcastic smile on his lips.

Shen Wantang ignored it.

Chen Kangjian seemed to be thinking about something, and then he slowly said, "How good is the kung fu of this person?"

"Although the kung fu style is not very sophisticated, it is indeed weird." Shen Wantang thought for a moment and spoke slowly.

As for how weird it was, Shen Wantang really couldn't tell.

Chen Kangjian said nothing more and stood up slowly: "Have a good rest. This kind of thing will not happen again in the future."

After leaving a few words, Chen Kangjian turned and left. Zhang Shan followed closely behind him. Before leaving, he did not forget to glance at Shen Wantang.

There were only two people in the empty hall.

There was no emotion in Chen Kangjian's dark eyes. After a long while, Chen Kangjian slowly spoke: "The assassin's target is Shen Wantang. It seems that he is from Shancheng."

After he finished speaking, he slowly raised his eyes and an inquiring look fell on Zhang Shan.

Zhang Shan stood up angrily: "Brother, what do you mean by that? I admit that the people of Shancheng do not like those people in Jingcheng, but they will never do such a murderous thing!"

"Who knows if they were sent from the capital?" Zhang Shan continued.

Chen Kangjian's tone was calm, but his eyes were dark and unclear: "What do you mean?"

"They knew Shen Wantang had fallen into our hands, and they were afraid that she would do something detrimental to the capital, so they sent people to silence her."

Zhang Shan's words were very concise, as if they were the discussions among the dignitaries in the capital in his ear.

Having said that, Chen Kangjian had a general idea in his mind.

"Okay, it's not easy to get here so late at night, you go back first." Chen Kangjian took a long breath, slowly stood up and said.

"Brother, don't you have any other plans for this matter?" Zhang Shan hurriedly stood in front of Chen Kangjian and looked at him with confusion.

Chen Kangjian slowly raised his eyes: "How should I deal with this?"

"Of course, we should kill Shen Wantang and avenge Miss Shaoyao!" Zhang Shan was filled with indignation.

After he finished speaking, Chen Kangjian did not respond.

The empty hall was eerily quiet.

Chen Kangjian stared at Zhang Shan intently, and for some reason, Zhang Shan felt a little numb on his back.

"Don't worry about it." After a long time, Chen Kangjian opened his thin lips, dodged Zhang Shan, and left the hall.

On the way back to his residence, Zhang Shan was very angry. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He walked to the side and punched a tree trunk.

The strong impact caused the tree trunk to sway and a few leaves fell down.

"You are so cowardly, you are not worthy to be the master of the mountain city!"

Zhang Shan muttered to himself, and the impatience in his eyes just now turned into hatred in an instant.

"In that case, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless."

Ever since the doctor left, Shen Wantang has been staying by Shaoyao's side.

She was thinking about last night's assassination.

Chen Jiankang's house is winding and there are people patrolling at night. To be able to avoid these people and successfully find the courtyard where Shen Wantang lives, he must be very familiar with Chen's house.

Now, in the mountain city, the only person who hates Shen Wantang the most is probably Zhang Shan.

She let out a long sigh and her gaze returned to Shaoyao.

Tears burst out again and fell down my cheeks.

Such a good girl actually became a victim in the struggle between Shen Wantang and Zhang Shan.

The day before, she was still a lively girl, saying that after receiving her monthly salary, she would buy more rice paper for her younger sister at home, and save more money so that her younger sister could go to school.

Thinking of this, Shen Wantang felt a dull pain in his heart.

I thought that once I got to the mountain city, as long as I didn't talk too much and didn't do too much, no one would come to murder me.

Unexpectedly, despite her inaction, someone still got hurt because of her.

If that's the case, then it's not Shen Wantang's fault.

She stood up slowly, and as soon as she opened the door, two servants guarding outside blocked her way.

"Miss Shen, are you going out to buy something? Leave it to me and the two of us will be fine."

After he finished speaking, Shen Wantang smiled calmly and handed over the paper in his hand: "I have a severe headache after staying up all night. Please help me get some medicine."

The servant took the prescription and glanced at it.

"If you are worried, you can ask someone to take a look at the prescription."

Shen Wantang managed a hard smile.

"Miss Shen, please be polite. I will go and help you right away." The servant smiled, put away the prescription and left.

At that time, outside the tent.

"Zhang Shan is a problem." Looking at the news handed over by Shen Wantang, Hai Qingnan seemed to be thinking about something.

The people around him also agreed, but Cen Xiao seemed to be thinking about something.

"Is this really the news that Miss Shen passed on?" After a moment, a questioning voice came from the generals.

"Are you looking down on our young master by saying this?" The deputy general glanced over and questioned.

As soon as the man raised his eyes, he saw Cen Xiao's sharp gaze beside him, and immediately lowered his eyes and stopped talking.

"Although Zhang Shan is tall, I don't think he has much martial arts skills."

Cen Xiao started to learn martial arts at the age of five. He could tell at a glance who had profound skills and who had only half-baked skills.

"If this is the case, it will be even more difficult to catch Zhang Shan." Hai Qingnan spoke slowly.

Cen Xiao's lips curled up: "Don't worry, Zhang Shan, someone will take care of him for us."

"The ten-day deadline is almost here, are you all ready?" Cen Xiao raised his eyes and looked at the people around him.

Everyone nodded repeatedly. They had suffered humiliation in the last battle. This time, they must wipe out the rebels in one fell swoop!

The next morning, just after daybreak, there was movement in the forest.

This time, their primary target was not the mountain city - but the villages surrounding the mountain city.

At that time, in the mountain city.

Shaoyao was still in a coma, and only when the dressing was changed every day, her brows would be furrowed, and after a moment, she would return to normal.

After the assassination that night, Shen Wantang was completely imprisoned in the room. In the past, he could move around in the courtyard for a while, but now, going out is a luxury.

Shaoyao's daily medicine was boiled and sent to her by the servants. Before taking the medicine each time, Shen Wantang would taste it in advance to make sure it was non-toxic before feeding it to Shaoyao.

The same thing happened today, except that the medicine delivery person arrived a little late.

"I'm really sorry. Mr. Chen is hosting a banquet for guests in the kitchen today, so Miss Shaoyao's medicine was delivered a little late."
