Chapter 357: Notify Xu Zhengyong_i

“Oh? Who has the message?” Wei Ruo asked.

Qianfu Inn, someone has booked all the remaining rooms at Qianfu Inn.” Wei Jinyi answered.

Wei Ruo had tampered with the message content conveyed by Xu Zhengyong. Every general receives roughly the same message about the merchant. It says that on the fifth day of August, the merchant will arrive at the barracks under the guidance of Xu Zhengyong’s cousin, presenting the Thunderbolt Bullet.

However, one detail is different: the place where the merchant will stay on the night of the fourth of August is different.

Theoretically, unless there is a different intention, they wouldn’t particularly care about where the merchant stayed the night before, as long as the person is safe.

Unless the person has other intentions, it is possible that they will arrange for someone else to meet the merchant before he arrives at the barracks.

In the locations revealed to those people, Wei Jinyi had arranged for different people to set up ambushes.

If someone tried to contact the merchant there, they could determine who had ulterior intentions.

The Qianfu Inn is one of the addresses provided by Wei Ruo to Xu Zhengyong.

In this way, Wei Ruo and Wei Jinyi had a rough idea of who the problem lay with.

The target was locked; the next step was how to catch the person.

Brother, I need to go find Brother Xiaoyong.” Wei Ruo said to Wei Jinyi.

“I’ll go with you.” Wei Jinyi agreed. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Alright.”

Then Wei Ruo and Wei Jinyi returned to their respective rooms to change their outfits before going to the Four Treasure House with Xiumei to find Xu Zhengyong.

Xu Zhengyong had been ordered to stay in Government City these days to receive the merchant and “cousin” who would deliver the Thunderbolt Bullet, so he hadn’t returned to the barracks.

Wei Ruo told Xu Zhengyong the results and instructed him to report this matter to Chu Lan.

Although Wei Ruo was unwilling to interact with Chu Lan, to pull off this plan, Chu Lan’s involvement was still needed. Without him, her father and Brother ’ Xiaoyong’s status and power in the military might not be enough.

Previously, Wei Ruo didn’t instruct Xu Zhengyong to inform Chu Lan of the plan because she wasn’t certain that Chu wasn’t the person behind the scenes. Now that there’s a clear target, Brother Xiaoyong can confidently approach him to discuss countermeasures.

After hearing Wei Ruo’s explanation, Xu Zhengyong couldn’t help but say, Ruoruo, I’ve been saying I wanted to be your pillar, but you’ve been my pillar this whole time.”

Wei Ruo replied, “Don’t give me that cheesy talk, I’m not used to it. Isn’t helping you also helping me? Once you’ve made your achievements, then I’ll have a pillar to rely on, right?”

“That’s right! Ruoruo, don’t worry, I’ll work hard!” Xu Zhengyong solemnly promised Wei Ruo.

“Just don’t go about it recklessly. Work hard, but don’t risk your life.”

“I know, you can rest assured.” Xu Zhengyong assured.

“Hmm.”

After explaining everything to Xu Zhengyong, Wei Ruo, Wei Jinyi, and Xiumei left.

There was still plenty of time that day, so Wei Ruo planned to leave the city and visit Younan Farmstead and Caili Farm.

On the way, Wei Ruo also made a trip to Zhao Family Village to visit the brothers Zhao Hai and Zhao Xun.

Wei Ruo visited the brothers Zhao Hai and Zhao Xun’s home again. After knocking, Zhao Hai opened the door.

Wei Ruo had given Zhao Hai a leave of absence for him to solely focus on taking care of his brother at home during this time.

Zhao Hai was thrilled when he saw Wei Ruo in men’s attire, “Young master, please allow me to show my gratitude!”

Zhao Hai immediately kneeled down.

“Don’t kneel, stand up and talk.” Wei Ruo said.

Young master, your kindness and generosity have saved us, so please accept my bow!”

Zhao Hai ignored any objections and tried to bow to Wei Ruo.

His head had just moved down a centimeter when a hand landed on his forehead, preventing him from bowing down further. Zhao Hai looked up and noticed an average-looking young man standing next to the young master who was preventing him from bowing down.

Wei Ruo said to Zhao Hai, “There’s no need to bow to me. It’s not only my merit that your brother has improved. It’s also due to your attentive care, his strong will to live, and a bit of divine intervention.”

The first time Wei Ruo visited Zhao Hai’s home, she didn’t have much confidence in curing Zhao Xun. Although she left a prescription, it was more of a trial.

Unexpectedly, after taking the medicine, Zhao Xun stabilised, so Wei Ruo sent him two additional batches of medicine while she was busy with other things. “No, it was you who saved my brother!” Zhao Hai said with great emotion. “Let’s not talk about that now. Take me to see your brother.” Wei Ruo said.

Wei Ruo hadn’t visited since the last time. Now that Zhao Xun’s condition was stable, she wanted to check on him again since there was a chance to cure him.

“Okay, okay, I’ll take you!” Zhao Hai was very excited, leading Wei Ruo and the others into the house.

Just like last time, Zhao Xun lay in bed, still looking weak.

Seeing Wei Ruo, Zhao Xun excitedly tried to get up. Wei Ruo signaled him not to move and just to lie quietly.

Then Wei Ruo took Zhao Xun’s pulse. By the pulse, his vital energy and blood flow were a bit better than last time, a good omen.

But it s still too early to talk about recovery.

Wei Ruo got up and wrote another prescription for Zhao Hai, “Take the herbs according to this prescription, boil five bowls of water down to one bowl for each dose, and take it three times a day.”

“Okay, okay.” Zhao Hai carefully accepted the new prescription from Wei Ruo.

If there are any herbs that are hard to find, tell Manager Yu, and he’ll help you.” Wei Ruo added.

Zhao Hai’s eyes welled with tears, “Young master, you’ve been so kind to us, and we don’t know how to repay you.”

Wei Ruo waved her hand, “Don’t worry about it, just continue to work hard for

me.”

Zhao Hai nodded heavily, “Our lives belong to the young master from now on.

For the rest of my life, I’m willing to work like an ox and a horse for the young master!”

“There’s no need to make it sound so dire.” Wei Ruo said, “You continue to take care of your brother at home. We’ll discuss the work on the farm in the future.”

After speaking, Wei Ruo didn’t linger and left immediately.

She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, Zhao Hai would want to bow to her again.”

After leaving Zhao Hai’s house, Xiumei couldn’t resist saying, “Miss, sometimes you are really kind-hearted. Even if Zhao Xun fits the criteria of the dying person you have been seeking, you still unhesitatingly chose to save him.”

Zhao Xun is innocent, with a simple family background and a scholar, fitting

Wei Ruo’s continuous search for a “future husband.”

“Though I am looking for a dying person to marry, if there’s a chance to save him, I can’t just ignore his suffering for my personal gain, can I?” Wei Ruo said..
