Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

Chapter 234 Saving the Wife - Trip to Yizhou

Du Ruo's recent performance made Du Mengran very emotional. The person she once looked down upon has now become a real member of the Du family in her heart.

Du Mengran sat on a wooden chair by herself. She placed her cloth shoes on the desk in an ungainly manner and said:

"In two days, a caravan of fifty people will pass through Panxi Town. They will travel south to Yizhou. You will escort the caravan south in disguise. This journey will probably take a year. By then, I will tell you all the plans."

Zhou Leng stared at her and said, "You won't die if I'm not here for a year, right? I want to stay and protect you."

Du Mengran laughed out loud, her face full of emotion, she looked at Zhou Leng with complicated eyes and said:

"If you die, I won't be able to die either. Let's clean up." After she said that, she wrote down an address, left a jade token, and walked towards the door.

Zhou Leng finally chose to listen to the other party.

Du Mengran does not look like a person without ambition. Although she does not know what Zhao Mingfeng has said to her, she is definitely aware of the current situation of Zhenliang Pavilion, and she must be on guard.

When the two of them crossed paths, Du Mengran stopped, turned his head to look at Zhou Leng and said:

"When you're not around, someone will play you. Don't worry about people asking about it. I hope you have a safe journey south."

This sentence made Zhou Leng's thoughts go round and round. However, she hadn't heard the complex emotions in it yet, so she replied jokingly:

"Then you have to act more realistically! After all, handsome men like me are rare."

Du Mengran tried to hold back her smile and patted Du Ruo on the shoulder, but she pulled her hand back and said, "Don't worry."

After Zhou Leng and others left, she went to the table and looked at the address written by the other party. After memorizing it, she blew the paper dry, folded it, and put it in her pocket together with the jade pendant.

At the hour of Yin on the second day, Zhou Leng quietly left Du's house and arrived at the place Du Mengran mentioned, which was a shop.

Zhou Leng walked into the shop, and a man dressed as a shopkeeper came forward and whispered:

"Please come in, my dear. Someone left something for you."

Zhou sneered and nodded, then took the bag the other party handed out. He followed the direction of the other party's finger and went upstairs. When he opened the bag, he found a set of distinctive Yizhou costumes.

Zhou Leng quickly changed his clothes and hair accessories, put on some simple makeup to cover up, and finally stuffed two small buns in front of his chest and wore a plain veil on his head. He turned into a woman.

Half an hour later.

A caravan on its way to Yizhou passed by here. The leader was a dashing, slightly plump woman with a sharp axe on her waist. She spoke with a thick Yizhou accent:

"Boss, how are you preparing the goods we ordered before? This time, they need to be kept for a long time. Yizhou is a place full of smoke and miasma. Last time, many goods went bad due to moisture when they arrived. I lost a lot of money. Our business is the most difficult, so please take care of it."

"Don't worry, I sealed it tightly this time."

The shopkeeper carried five boxes of goods to the empty carriage. After the payment and goods were settled, the convoy left. No one noticed that there was an extra person in the only empty carriage in the convoy.

The caravan stopped by the roadside to rest an hour after leaving Panxi Town. The people skillfully checked the cargo on the carriage and then wrapped it with oilcloth.

The slightly plump woman got into the carriage with a package and clasped her fists and said:

"I am Du Lian. The Pavilion Master has already told me that this is what the Pavilion Master gave you."

Zhou Leng took the bag and said:

"Thank you." He opened the package. Inside was a locked wooden box without a key. It was probably something he was asked to protect. There was also a letter. After opening it, it said:

Du Ruo, the trip to Yizhou is crucial. There is only some money in the wooden box. This caravan of fifty people are all core doctors from Du family clinics in various places. Most of them have shallow martial arts skills. You must reach Yizhou safely.

Zhou Leng frowned slightly. Has Du Mengran started to transfer important personnel?

Yizhou is a place with high mountains, far away from the emperor, and full of poisonous miasma. There is no big sect in charge, so it is a good place to go.

There were many such caravans on the road, but they did not attract anyone's attention. Moreover, Du Lian's accent was very standard, and it was not her first time to take this route, so no one suspected her.

Zhou Leng rarely came out of the car, he practiced hard.

More than a month after they set out from Panxi Town, they arrived in Yuzhou. They really acted like a caravan, selling some goods in Yuzhou and buying some local specialties before heading south again.

The inn where the Du family and their entourage stayed was also an ordinary inn, and most of the people staying there were traveling merchants. This went on for a whole year without any incidents.

After everyone arrived at Yizhou, Du Lian was visibly much more relaxed.

Five days later.

The caravan arrived at a town called Taoyuan Town. As soon as they entered the town, someone greeted them in dialect:

"Captain Du, you're back. What good stuff did you bring this time?"

Du Lian bowed and said:

"Second sister-in-law, we traveled a long way this time and visited many places. The goods we got this time are all good ones."

People kept greeting Du Lian along the way, and she responded to them one by one, which showed that she had lived here for quite a few years.

The caravan first delivered goods and collected money at the doors of various shops, and finally arrived at the back door of a large courtyard. After Du Lian knocked three times, someone opened the door and invited them in.

Zhou Leng was led by the servant into a guest room in the courtyard to rest. He thought carefully and entered from the back door through the corridor and garden to reach this courtyard. It can be seen that this house is not small. He looked at the layout of the house, which was elegant and decent. The owner should be a person who loves life.

Zhou Leng simply washed up, changed into clean clothes, and restored his handsome image. He knew that someone would want to meet him later.

Half an hour later, a man's gentle voice sounded outside the door:

"Dear guest, the master invites you. If you have packed everything and let me know, I will take you there."

Zhou Leng arranged his clothes, holding a backpack in his hand and a dagger hidden on his waist. He pushed the door open with a normal look and said:

"Let's go, lead the way."

Zhou Leng followed the servant and walked to the door of a study. The servant made a gesture of invitation and he whispered:

"Sir, my master is waiting in the study. Please move."

Zhou Leng adjusted his mood, knocked on the door and walked in.

This is a study room with a large collection of books. The shelves visible from a distance are filled with books, which shows that the owner is well-read.

There was a person sitting with his back to the door. As the windows on all sides were open, light was scattered in the study. Zhou Leng could see clearly that the other person had a woman's bun. She was not thin and there was a very familiar feeling about her.

Zhou Leng clasped his fists and said:

"I am Du Ruo from the Zhenliang Pavilion. I am sorry to bother you today. I am here to present the things I brought to Yizhou."

The man didn't say anything, but turned his head.

Zhou Leng saw the other person's appearance clearly. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt that countless thoughts gathered in his mind. He stared at the man and said:

"For a moment, I didn't know what was real and what was an illusion."

A familiar voice echoed in the study: "What is true and what is false!"

Zhou Leng took a few quick steps and put the wooden box on the table. She turned around to leave but was stopped by the man.
