SFS Chapter 110: Growing Branches
Chapter 110: Growing Branches
Not far away, the herbal farmers from the Medical Immortal Valley were pestering Ruan Haoyu to drink, and the disciples of the Medical Immortal Valley were also taking turns to toast Zhuo Sheng. Everyone knew Zhuo Sheng's recent mood, and no one was forcing them to try the medicine anymore. Instead, everyone was not used to it.
Today, Zhuo Sheng finally walked out of the mountain, and his disciples all wanted him to be happier and forget about his troubles.
The killers who had just come out of the Silent Organization also came to drink with Ling Xiao and Zhao Minna. The poison in their bodies had been removed, and they were free again. They no longer had to be killers, and it felt good to be themselves again.
The scene was peaceful, bustling and lively.
As they were toasting each other, an armored guard suddenly ran in hurriedly from outside and handed a letter to Ruan Haoyu.
"Young Master, there are tens of thousands of troops outside, and the leading general asked me to give you this letter."
The armored guards who stayed behind are now responsible for guarding the Medical Valley. There is a happy event in the valley today, and except for those on duty, everyone else is in the wedding hall.
Ruan Haoyu's heart sank. He took the letter and opened it. There was only one line of words written on it: "Haoyu, my son, are you planning to invite me to a wedding banquet?"
I didn't expect it to come so quickly!
Ruan Haoyu originally planned to take Mu Xiaoqiao away from the Medical Valley after the wedding and live in seclusion elsewhere to prevent the Medical Valley from falling into danger.
He knew that the news of his finding Mu Xiaoqiao would be known by that person sooner or later, and he would never let her go. However, Zhuo Qingling's incident happened later. Zhuo Sheng was devastated, and Ruan Haoyu was also worried about his master, so he did not leave in time. Unexpectedly, he failed to let the Medical Valley avoid this disaster.
The wizard walked behind Ruan Haoyu, saw the contents of the letter, and sighed! It is a blessing, not a disaster. It is a disaster that cannot be avoided!
"Let him in. Escape is not a solution." The wizard said softly.
Ruan Haoyu tightened his fingers, his mind in confusion. What should he do to protect his master, his adoptive father, these younger fellow apprentices, and his... newlywed wife?
"Let him... come in alone." Ruan Haoyu said hoarsely.
Seeing that he looked serious, everyone looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what had happened.
Ling Xiao asked: "What happened? Is someone looking for trouble?"
Ruan Haoyu took a deep breath and said loudly: "I'm sorry everyone, because I have something important to deal with, so today's wedding banquet will end here. Everyone can go back and rest first. After this matter is over, Ruan will apologize to everyone!"
"Young Master, if you have anything to say, just speak up. There are so many of us, what are we afraid of? We will make sure they get out the same way they came in."
A former Silent Organization killer shouted.
Everyone agreed.
"Thank you very much, everyone. If the Medical Immortal Valley cannot solve the problem, I will definitely ask for your help."
Ruan Haoyu instructed the disciples of the Medical Immortal Valley to arrange for the guests from outside the valley to rest. After everyone left, he knelt in front of Zhuo Sheng, who had been silent.
"Master, please forgive me for lying. I am actually..."
He hesitated for a long time before he finally made up his mind and said, "My disciple is actually the illegitimate son of our great general Li Shuo."
When these words were spoken, Zhuo Sheng was startled and stood up.
Li Shuo, he was very familiar with this name.
It was General Li who led his troops into the palace and personally cut off the emperor's head.
At that time, he took Concubine Li and Mu Xiaoqiao to hide from place to place, and was chased by Li Shuo's soldiers. He almost died in his hands.
After Li Shuo captured the palace, he supported the current emperor to ascend the throne, and he was appointed as the Great General of National Defense, a first-rank official, truly second only to the emperor.
Ruan Haoyu, is he actually his son...
Wouldn't that mean I'm sending Mu Xiaoqiao into danger again?
Before he could finish his thoughts, the wizard stepped forward and held his shoulders. "Don't blame Haoyu for this. Blame me. I hid his background because I was afraid you wouldn't be able to accept him. But in fact, Haoyu's mother was forced by Li Shuo to have him. After giving birth to Haoyu, his mother threw herself into the river. His uncle coveted wealth and glory and wanted to exchange Haoyu for an official position, so he sent him to Li Shuo. Li Shuo was in a high position and was afraid that people would know about his previous scandals. He not only killed his uncle, but also threw Haoyu on the snowy mountain. If I hadn't happened to pass by, I'm afraid the child would have died long ago."
Zhuo Sheng frowned, "If that's the case, how do you know these things?"
"Thank goodness, the child's mother was saved by someone and was not destined to die. When Haoyu was six years old, I took him to stay at a farmhouse, which happened to be his mother's residence. It was God's will that the mother recognized her child, and we learned all this. However, Li Shuo also knew the child's whereabouts."
"When Haoyu was eight years old, his biological mother died of illness. Li Shuo sent someone to pick him up, hoping to keep him under his control. Haoyu was unwilling and begged me to take him away. So the two of us wandered around the world again. Later, I happened to meet you. You know everything that happened next."
The wizard reached out and stroked Ruan Haoyu's hair, "This child has never intended to have anything to do with his father. Since he wanted to abandon him since he was a child, he will never come back to him."
He is also a poor child!
Zhuo Sheng was silent for a while, then reached out and helped Ruan Haoyu up, "Master doesn't blame you, but now Li Shuo must have known Xiao Qiao's identity. Given his personality, he will definitely kill Xiao Qiao..."
"Master, don't worry. I will never let anything happen to Yixian Valley and Xiao Qiao." Ruan Haoyu's voice was full of determination.
"The only solution now is to find a way to send these two people out..." Zhuo Sheng looked at the wizard.
"No." Ruan Haoyu stopped Zhuo Sheng from speaking. "Since he's already here, I'm afraid that the area around the Medical Immortal Valley has been controlled by him. Even if we can leave, Li Shuo will definitely harm the Medical Immortal Valley in his rage. We can't just leave."
"Valley Master, Young Valley Master, General Li is here." The armored guard just now ran over again.
"We'll act according to circumstances." Zhuo Sheng only had time to say this.
I saw a tall man in armor striding in from outside. He was about fifty years old. Because he had led troops in battles for many years, except for the dark spots on his face, he looked relatively young and strong. You could vaguely see that he must have been quite handsome when he was young.
Although Ruan Haoyu knew that his biological father was Li Shuo, after all, except for seeing him when he was still an infant, he had never seen him again after he grew up. This was the first time the father and son met in a real sense.
Li Shuo was also fearless and really did not bring a single soldier into the Medical Immortal Valley. Anyway, he had surrounded the Medical Immortal Valley within a radius of ten miles, so he was not afraid of the other party doing anything weird.
