CHAPTER 1841: CHAPTER 1842: THE SITUATION IS URGENT

Seeing Ren Hongchang’s silence, you continue, "Her name is Zhao Yu, rest assured, all of you are equal here with me, there is no distinction between wife and concubine."

"Hmm, I know." Ren Hongchang shrank a bit, although she secretly told herself not to care too much, she also understood that no woman would willingly share her man with others. However, thinking of your gentleness and infinite tenderness, she was again wrapped in a familiar happiness, maybe she really didn’t care much.

Speaking of Zhao Yu, it all started with that letter you read.

The person who delivered the letter to you was just a servant, and his master was Wang Ling far away in Chang’an. In the letter, Wang Ling mentioned that he is currently working under Situ Wang Yun. Five days ago, Wang Yun received a wedding invitation, which Wang Ling originally had no right to see. But Wang Yun was extremely disgusted with the groom on the invitation, so he sent Wang Ling to attend. When Wang Ling opened the invitation, he immediately sent a servant on horseback to deliver this information to you as quickly as possible.

The bride on the invitation was shockingly Zhao Yu, and the groom was Zhang Xiu!

Seeing such a message, how could you not be seething with anger!?

At that time, you wished you could fly there instantly, to confront Zhang Xiu and tear him to pieces!

For Zhao Yu, even if Chang’an was a dragon’s lair, you had to venture there.

"Yu’er, you must wait for me!"

You shouted in your heart endlessly.

After four days of traveling day and night, your group finally arrived in Chang’an.

Although you really wanted to rush into Chang’an directly, you knew that doing so was undoubtedly suicidal, and with a group of over two hundred people, it was impossible to enter Chang’an City openly. Therefore, you specifically arranged for Little Liu to lead the trusted aides to find a place outside Chang’an City to set up camp, essentially placing an external support outside Chang’an City just in case.

You dismounted together with Ren Hongchang, preparing to enter Chang’an City.

However, at the city gate, you were surrounded by a few Xiliang soldiers who had just passed by.

"Yo, this little girl is really fine looking!" A tall Xiliang soldier approached with a nasty and lewd smile on his face.

"Just this face alone could make me raise my gun immediately!"

At first, you remained silent, and Ren Hongchang’s face gradually turned cold, her right hand slowly reached for her waist where a dagger was hidden!

As the four Xiliang soldiers gradually approached, one of them even reached out his right hand towards Ren Hongchang when you suddenly moved!

The outstretched right hand suddenly made a cracking sound of bones shattering, and in the astonished eyes of everyone, the originally intact right hand was folded by you into six sections!

Immediately, your figure flickered, hand turning into a claw, directly plunging into the mouth of one Xiliang soldier. Your pupils suddenly flashed with a fierce light, accompanied by an extremely tragic howl, you forcibly pulled out the tongue of that Xiliang soldier!

The Xiliang soldier’s nerves were hit with an extremely strong impact at the fastest speed, the intense pain instantly attacked the nerve endings of the entire brain, causing his face to turn pale, foaming at the mouth, and falling to the ground twitching frantically.

The two Xiliang soldiers who spoke rudely to Ren Hongchang both suffered irreparable damage in the shortest time, one could say they were as good as dead.

You stood there silently, yet others felt an overwhelming pressure that took their breath away, as if ready to flee wildly at any moment. It was as if what stood before them wasn’t a man, but a terrifyingly fierce beast!

Ignoring the various complex gazes around, you brought Ren Hongchang forward proudly, everyone automatically made way, even the other Xiliang soldiers trembled and scurried aside like mice seeing a cat, not daring even to lift their heads to look at you.

The not so big or small hullabaloo that happened at the gate didn’t spread, after all, in a big city like Chang’an, all kinds of strange things happen every day. To those Xiliang soldiers, a terror like you, while feeling lucky they weren’t in trouble, they also secretly told their brothers to be more restrained in daily acts, lest they find themselves dead without knowing how.

After asking a few passersby, you and Ren Hongchang stood in front of the gate of Situ Wang Yun’s mansion.

"May I ask who you are looking for?" The house servant at the gate, seeing your extraordinary demeanor, asked respectfully as he stepped forward.

You smiled lightly and replied in a calm tone, "I’m looking for Wang Ling."

"Oh! You must be Master Li! The Young Lord ordered me earlier, if I see Master Li, to take you to the Young Lord’s courtyard." The house servant realized.

You nodded, "Thank you."

"It’s my duty." The house servant was also a discerning person, he only glanced at Ren Hongchang. Although he was amazed, he dared not look a second time. Any man has strong possessive desires for women, and someone in his position wouldn’t dare to overstep but only do his duty to live long in such a tumultuous world.

The house servant led you into Wang Yun Mansion, and after a few minutes of walk, you reached a rather elegant small courtyard. At this time, a familiar figure happened to walk out of the house in the courtyard.

"Brother, I have finally awaited your arrival!" The person was Wang Ling!

You looked Wang Ling up and down, laughing, "Yan Yun, you’ve gained quite some weight these days."

Wang Ling smiled a bit embarrassedly, then bowed with folded hands toward Ren Hongchang beside you, not speaking, for he didn’t know any information about Ren Hongchang. He only knew that standing beside you, a woman you would bring along on a long journey couldn’t be ordinary.

"This is your sister-in-law." You introduced immediately to Wang Ling.

"I am Wang Ling, greetings to sister-in-law." He hastily bowed again to Ren Hongchang.

Ren Hongchang nodded, "No need for courtesy, my husband is not one to be bound by protocol either."

Wang Ling nodded, hurriedly escorting you and Ren Hongchang to the parlor.

After the three of you sat down, the maid served tea and left. Wang Ling candidly said to you, "Brother, I know you’re very anxious right now, but before anything, I must first explain the current situation in Chang’an to you."

"Yan Yun, I don’t care about Chang’an’s nonsense situation. I only care about Zhao Yu, where is she now?"

Wang Ling showed a "I knew you would say this" expression and continued, "Brother, what I want to say about Chang’an’s situation is actually closely related to sister-in-law’s predicament."

To prevent you from interrupting, Wang Ling hurriedly continued, "Currently, Chang’an is divided into factions, with Dong Zhuo’s Xiliang military faction, the Royalist faction headed by my uncle Wang Yun, and then there are those scholar gentries and warlords who only care about their own interests. Zhang Xiu belongs to this Jingzhou warlord. Dong Zhuo, to win over Zhang Xiu, specially arranged a marriage for sister-in-law."

Upon hearing this, your brows furrowed tightly. Familiar with you, Ren Hongchang knew that even though outwardly you appeared calm, inside you were like a volcano ready to erupt, only restrained by some doubts that stopped you from taking immediate action.

Wang Ling saw this and quickly added, "Brother, you might not know, there’s a very secret sect in the Northwest that has intricate relationships with Xiliang’s warlords. The Sect Leader of this secret sect is Zhang Ji’s wife. Through various means, I have finally managed to plant a spy in this secret sect. Through the spy, it’s learned Zhang Ji’s wife, Madam Zou, is actually sister-in-law’s mentor and has shown her favor."

Hearing this, the fists you had clenched slowly relaxed. Initially, you didn’t believe Zhao Yu would betray you, and now with Wang Ling’s explanation, it made sense that Madam Zou forced Zhao Yu, and Zhao Yu had no choice but to yield to repay the favor. However, at this thought, the fury in your heart burned even brighter, wishing you could hack Madam Zou to pieces!
