Chapter 851 Within Seven Days
"Seven days? This is clearly making things difficult for me!"

As soon as the carriage drove away from Adjutant Luo's residence, Liu Sheng started to explain the situation, and Ruan Shizhi couldn't help but sit up suddenly and speak angrily.

Ling Fu was leaning against the side of the carriage, holding a hand warmer in his hand, sitting quietly without saying a word, and seemed to be resting with his eyes closed.

Although they were just waiting in the flower hall, the two accomplices were under strict guard. There was no heater in the flower hall, and the windows on all sides were open. The cold wind blew through the hall, and the sounds of whipping and groaning could be heard from time to time.

It's physical and mental torture.

"I will break into the Governor's Mansion no matter what!" Ruan Shizhi shouted excitedly, "Take my mother's token and confront her face to face! And the matter in the inner city cannot be delayed even for a moment, how can we wait for seven days!"

Ruan Shizhi has become different since he came down from the Great Wall.

Especially when it comes to his mother, the situation becomes particularly intense.

"You have the courage, but your brain is not thinking clearly." Ling Fu finally said in a cold voice.

Ruan Shizhi was slightly stunned.

"Do you think these people really don't know what's going on in the inner city?"

"Otherwise, why didn't Shengsheng mention the inner city anymore, and didn't tell Adjutant Luo about it? Don't you really understand?"

Ling Fu wanted to pry open Ruan Shizhi's brain to see what was inside.

Seeing this, Liu Sheng shook his head: "He has just started to think, uncle, please don't be too harsh on him."

She looked at Ruan Shizhi: "Uncle is right. Instead of going to the governor, Adjutant Luo is more suitable. Don't you understand? The governor is most likely the mastermind behind the current situation in the inner city. At least one of them."

Ruan Shizhi sat up immediately.

"What? Impossible! My father said that if it weren't for my mother, the governor would not have survived. He swore to follow my mother..."

"The life-saving grace is something that happened in the past after all." Liu Sheng shook his head. "People will still look at the present, and what is in front of them is the hope of promotion, or even the hope of replacing the general. What do you think...what will he choose?"

Ruan Shizhi was stunned. After a long while, he lowered his head and said in a low and hoarse voice: "No... No..."

"In the outer city today, the only person who can be considered a member of the general's family is Adjutant Luo." Liu Sheng said slowly, "And you have seen her current situation."

"What's up with her?"

"She was imprisoned." Ling Fu said bluntly.

"Imprisoned?" Ruan Shizhi was puzzled. "But...she can come and go freely and can meet you. How can she be considered imprisoned?"

Liu Sheng smiled: "Imprisonment doesn't necessarily mean locking you up."

Ling Fu continued coldly: "For an ambitious soldier, being unable to wield a gun and go into battle, and being confined in the shadows of flowers and the fragrance of flowers is more painful than being trapped in a cage."

Ruan Shizhi remained silent.

Thinking of his uncles who retired from the North and grew up with him, in Chang'an, a place of comfort and ease that attracted countless people, he always liked to mention the wind and snow on the Great Wall and the days of fighting against strange creatures in the dark.

He didn't understand it then, but now he seems to understand.

"However, you said there was a condition. What was it?" Ruan Shizhi thought of this and asked.

Liu Sheng just smiled and didn't answer.

……

On the second day, Captain Hu sent someone to invite Liu Sheng, saying that the residence had been cleaned up and asked her to move in immediately.

So Liu Sheng took Song Ru, Bai Xuan, and Wang Liusui, who had just recovered, and drove a carriage all the way to the northwest corner of the outer city, arriving at a mountain villa that looked quite dilapidated but was quite large.

"This is the villa that Lord Hu specially prepared for you."

"It was originally Lord Xin's manor, and now it has been specially vacated for Lord Ling to use. Please... don't let Lord Xin and Lord Hu down."

He uttered the word "betray" slowly, and raised his eyes divided by scars under the helmet, looking at Liu Sheng steadily.

The speaker was a sergeant sent by Captain Hu.

He is also an old acquaintance of Liu Sheng - Chen Shanyuan.

However, this is only true for Liu Sheng.

Judging from the look in his eyes, Chen Shanyuan did not recognize Liu Sheng.

So Liu Sheng didn't say much, just nodded slightly. "Also, the conditions you proposed, sir..."

Chen Shanyuan spoke in a deep voice, pointing to the cart next to him that was covered with snow. A thin mat could be vaguely seen underneath, slightly raised and seemed to be covering something.

"father!"

A choked call was heard, and a small figure stumbled out of the carriage, and rushed towards the cart with the support of Bai Xuan.

Carefully lifting the straw mat on the cart, he revealed the pale and skinny figure of Old Man Wang underneath. His thin clothes were a dark brown in color, and he was motionless.

"Daddy... Daddy, wake up..."

Wang Liusui hugged his body and shook him while crying.

Old Man Wang still didn't respond. If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest and the faint heat from his nose, I would have thought he was dead.

The crying and the wind and snow were sandwiched together.

Everyone felt sad and angry.

Chen Shanyuan seemed reluctant, but he suppressed his emotion and said:
"Okay, the person has been brought here. If he hadn't committed any serious mistakes other than leaving a pool of blood at the gate of the Governor's Mansion, which was a bit unlucky, he wouldn't have been released so easily."

He lowered his voice and said, "Anyway, please remember what Lord Hu said - seven days."

"As for those weirdos who need treatment, they will be sent here one after another. Lord Ling, don't worry. Just settle them down first."

Liu Sheng nodded: "Please hurry up."

"Don't worry, those adults...will be more anxious than you."

"What's your name?"

"My surname is Chen, and my given name is Shanyuan. I will be the one serving you for the next few days. Please let me know if you have any instructions."

The term "serve" is of course a superficial term, but in reality they are sent to monitor.

But judging from the pity he showed when his eyes fell on the father and daughter, it didn't seem to be the case...

……

When we entered the manor, we found that it had everything we needed except that it was a little shabby.

There are dozens of houses, all equipped with beds and beddings, and there is also a heating array.

There is sufficient food in the kitchen, and there are also cooks and servants.

I have to say that Captain Hu prepared very carefully.

However, Liu Sheng knew clearly that this so-called "intention" was not for her, but to increase the success rate of the strange man's treatment.

After all, everyone seems to have the same goal - to save the weirdo.

But the stance and intention behind it may not be the same.

Thinking of this, her eyes became deeper.

After cleaning up for a while and setting up many restrictions, bursts of horse hoof sounds were heard outside the yard.

Carriages arrived one after another. The carriages were exquisitely carved and the horses were strong and vigorous. Even the white horse seemed to be outdone.

[These nobles in the northern border are indeed very anxious. ]

These strange people who were brought here by car looked similar to Bai Xuan's condition at the time, only slightly better, and had not yet reached the stage of being completely disgusted.

But it’s not far away.

There were quite a few weird people who had almost lost their minds due to the depletion of energy in their bodies and their inability to suppress their obsessions. They were therefore placed in the north courtyard at the very edge of the house for isolation and care.

There are also some who, for reasons that no one is willing to tell, have severe physical defects, similar to Bai Xuan and Wang Liusui. These people are arranged to be treated in the East Hospital.

Those with milder symptoms are staying in the West Courtyard.

Liu Sheng and his group lived in the south courtyard near the main gate, which was convenient for communicating with the outside world and for managing the overall situation.

So well arranged.

The first day of seven days begins.
