Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

Chapter 235 Saving the Wife - So That's It

The woman's doubtful voice reached Zhou Leng's ears:

"Don't you want to know why?"

Zhou Leng said: "Do you want to say it? Can you say it?"

The woman said, "Didn't someone tell you that as long as you escort the caravan to Yizhou, she would tell you all the plans? I will certainly fulfill her promise. After all, I am the only man left in the backyard, so I have to treat him well."

Zhou Leng turned around and sat on the wooden chair, waiting for the other party to tell the truth.

But who was the person with the face that shocked Zhou Leng? It was Du Mengran.

Many things are terrifying when you think about them carefully, for example, before setting off, the person said that someone would replace Du Ruo and no one would be able to find out. Another example is the catastrophe of the Zhenliang Pavilion in the previous life. Did it really kill the elites of the Zhenliang Pavilion?

How many of those who died in the encirclement and suppression were people the Du family wanted to eliminate, how many were spies from other forces, and how many were innocent people.

Seeing Zhou Leng just sitting on the wooden chair and waiting silently, Du Mengran said first:

"I thought you were going to ask me when I got here first."

Zhou Leng sat on the wooden chair, her thoughts finally returned to one idea, all the deep affection was a joke. He took a deep breath and said:

"You will regret giving up on those people. They may die under the enemy's sword. They are all loyal to the Du family, and you gave up on them."

Du Mengran was silent for a long time, and she said in a very calm tone:

"If it weren't for the Du family, those people would have died long ago. All I can do is to protect the foundation of the Du family. If it weren't for the betrayal of the current emperor and the coercion of the Mei family, why would I have to act this way? In this world, it is wrong to help others get rid of diseases. I have become a pawn in their fight."

Zhou Leng didn't say anything else. The other party was the Pavilion Master, and no one else had the right to interfere with her decision. She changed the subject and said:

"That person acted very similar to you, but I didn't notice it."

Du Mengran fell silent again. She was still worried about that person. After all, the person who played her must know her very well. They might even have grown up together.

After a long time, Du Mengran said:

"There is a secret passage in my backyard. She can't die, and many people can't die, but many people will die. This is how the martial arts world is. Those people who were harmed for no reason, those sects that were exterminated and their martial arts were robbed because of their lack of strength, who in this world is not a pitiful person!"

Zhou Leng couldn't even tell right from wrong, he just felt the heat of the soul mark. It was Du Ruo's soul sighing, without complaint or hatred, only relief and gratitude.

I don't know what nerve Zhou Leng's silence touched Du Mengran. She sighed and said:

"This is my mission. Since my grandmother, the core and foundation of the Zhenliang Pavilion have been slowly transferred. By my generation, the Jianghu can no longer tolerate the Zhenliang Pavilion. If it weren't for your loyalty, you might have been the one who was abandoned. Do you feel resentful about this?"

Zhou Leng looked into the other person's eyes.

Today, Du Mengran's clothes were not as colorful and luxurious as when she was in Panxi Town. She was wearing a light-colored robe, a belt around her waist and a jade pendant, which made her look more free and easy than before.

Zhou Leng said with a firm tone and serious eyes:

"As long as the Zhenliang Pavilion is still there and you are still here, Du Ruo will have no resentment, even if he is abandoned, concealed, or even dies tragically."

These words came from the heart, and this is what Du Ruo wanted to say.

Du Mengran looked a little ashamed. She turned away and said calmly:

"I came here a year ago. I left halfway through my trip to Southern Zhou. The person you see when you return to Panxi Town is not me. That person grew up with me. She is Shadow. She was born to die for me. She never complained or hated me. People like you cannot be looked at calmly. You see, people are born different. I cannot enjoy such an identity while scorning it at the same time."

Zhou Leng could actually understand it in his heart, but sometimes many things are chosen differently because of different standpoints. If he was Du Mengran, he could face those who were abandoned calmly, but he was the abandoned Du Ruo.

Du Mengran looked at the expressionless man sitting there. The light from the window shone on his face, creating bright and dark colors. She asked:

"Don't you have anything to say?"

Zhou Leng thought about it and said:

"I want to ask since when did I become an abandoned pawn? Was it just because of the loyalty you always talked about? But just because I wasn't good at expressing myself before doesn't mean I'm not loyal to the Du family."

Du Mengran thought about it and said:

"Do you still remember the first time you diagnosed Zhao Mingfeng's pulse? Your medical skills were beyond my comprehension. I never knew that you had already mastered the art. Later, you followed me on the trip to Nanzhou and were loyal all the way. You defeated Shan Hao with your own strength, which made me look at him with new eyes. After all, he came from a famous family, and you could only enjoy the ordinary skills of the Du family. A great man like you should not be annihilated and is destined not to be abandoned."

Zhou Leng asked again: "If I don't have these, I will still be abandoned, right?"

Du Mengran answered without even thinking: "You are in Yizhou now, so there is no if, you have never been abandoned."

The room fell into silence.

After a while, Zhou Leng said:

"Since the foundation of Zhenliang Pavilion is still there and you are safe, I want to leave. I grew up in Panxi Town since I was a child. I want to pack up my things and go on a long journey."

Du Mengran's expression changed. She said:

"You will only cause more trouble if you go back. Now that you are in Yizhou, you cannot go out again until things are settled. I am only telling you this because I suddenly wanted to say it. Please don't make it difficult for me. Besides, I will be going out in a month. If you are afraid that I will die, then Qiao Zhuang will follow me."

If it were Du Ruo, he would listen to the Pavilion Master, but he would not watch so many lives being abandoned.

Of course Zhou Leng would obey. After all, this seemed like a mission that he could do without any effort. The person to be rescued didn't actually need anyone to rescue him. It was a really funny and sad mission.

Du Mengran didn't want to argue with the man, so she added:

"I'll have your two young servants brought to Yizhou. You can stay in Yizhou for a while. Don't forget that you are still my husband!"

After Zhou Leng hummed softly, he asked again:

"Was Pang Sheng's rebellion something the court did? They wanted us to fight Meiwan Villa first, so Zhao Mingfeng was abandoned? That person gave up on him so easily? He even cut off his legs?"

Du Mengran said casually:

"Cut off his legs so that people will not suspect that it was done by someone in the court. From the beginning to the end, he was the only one who thought that the Zhenliang Pavilion could join forces with the court. Just like Shan Hao always thought that I loved him deeply. That person may be a good emperor, but not a good woman. I was also tired of the fighting in the martial arts world affecting the people, so I helped that person set up a secret medicine villa."

After listening to this, Zhou Leng asked another question.
