A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 395 Death Soldier
On the official road, two fast horses galloped with their hooves like thunder, raising a cloud of dust...

It was Xiao Yu and Shen Mizhi who had traveled here overnight.

The two men were almost at the intersection of the two official roads when suddenly a black shadow appeared from a big tree nearby, drew a rather round arc, and landed lightly in the middle of the official road.

The speed was as fast as a ghost, which frightened Xiao Yu and Shen Mizhi so much that they quickly reined in their horses.

Xiao Yu, sitting on the horse, could already see clearly that the person on the official road was Duan Rong.

After not seeing her husband for many days, she couldn't help but feel happy when she saw him again.

Duan Rong also stood there and looked at the two of them. Xiao Yu didn't look much different, but Shen Mizhi had dark circles under his eyes, looked haggard, and had lost a lot of weight.

Duan Rong forced her to leave Ruyang City and go to the place where the case was being handled. These ten days were truly a great torture for her!

Duan Rong looked at Xiao Yu and asked, "Is there no one following you?"

Under the cover of Duan Rong's spiritual sense, he didn't seem to notice that anyone was following them.

Xiao Yu said: "There were three people when we first left the city, but we managed to get rid of them."

Duan Rong nodded after hearing this.

Xiao Yu asked: "Has the person been rescued?"

Duan Rong said, "Yes. He was rescued. He was in the dilapidated temple where we used to stay when we were escorting people."

When Shen Mizhi heard Duan Rong's words, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.

Xiao Yu also looked at Duan Rong with joy. Although she didn't know how Duan Rong did it, being able to rescue people from the dungeon in the city was definitely not something that could be achieved solely by relying on martial arts skills.

Women admire strong men, but they also admire wise men. This is almost a natural instinct.

Xiao Yu glanced at Shen Mizhi and said, "Sister Mizhi, follow me."

Xiao Yu then rode her horse off the official road. She was very familiar with the location of the dilapidated temple.

Xiao Yu and Shen Mizhi rode their horses.

Duan Rong used his skills to follow the two men.

The three of them walked into the dilapidated temple, only to see Ximen Kankan pressing Shen Yanliu's shoulders and shouting, "You old man, why don't you listen to my advice?!"

At this time, Shen Yanliu was still struggling and asking for death!
"father!"

Shen Mizhi screamed, ran over, and threw herself in front of her father.

Shen Mizhi's cry sounded like thunder to Shen Yanliu's ears. He trembled and turned his head. Shen Mizhi had already pounced in front of him.

"Mizhi..." Shen Yanliu's lips trembled. The iron-bloodedness and darkness that had accumulated in his heart for many years were at this moment covered and drowned by the deep love between father and daughter.

The father and daughter hugged each other and cried.

Shen Yanliu had already lost all hope in the dungeon in the city.

Several bones in his body were dislocated and he was in excruciating pain. At that time, the only thing he was worried about and couldn't let go of was Shen Mizhi.

All kinds of events from his past half life flashed through his mind one by one.

He was obsessed with power and always wanted to climb higher, and would do anything to achieve his goal. But now he felt that it was all a dream, like a flash of lightning and a bubble.

What a pity, will we ever hear the cry of the cranes in Huating again?
The people he had always ignored and felt sorry for were Shen Mizhi and her mother who had died long ago.

He is a dying man, so even if he wants to make amends, he has no chance.

But he is already a useless man, and he must not harm his daughter again.

Shen Yanliu grabbed Shen Mizhi's arms and said, "Mizhi, don't risk your life for your father's broken body! It's not worth it!"

Shen Mizhi stared at Shen Yanliu's face in a daze.

It was the first time she stared at her father like this.

At this moment, the connection between her relatives was running through her heart like underground fire.

For the first time, she was so sure that her father loved her and cared about her.

Shen Mizhi could hardly hold back her tears.

The abyss deep in her heart that had been devouring her soul suddenly collapsed at this moment.

She didn't expect that between her father and daughter, she completed her own redemption in this way.

Shen Mizhi swallowed her tears, and at that moment, her eyes became brighter and tougher than ever before.

She straightened Shen Yanliu's messy hair, smiled slightly, and said, "Dad, don't worry. You will be fine, and your daughter will be fine too. From now on, we will live a good life."

Shen Yanliu looked at Shen Mizhi's warm and bright smile, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart. That smile was exactly the same as her late mother's. It seemed that this was the first time that Shen Mizhi looked at him with such a smile.

Shen Yanliu said: "Mizhi, you don't understand. You have never dealt with Chen Xun, so you don't know how sinister this man is. If I don't die, he will never let you go!"

Shen Mizhi was speechless for a moment, because she knew in her heart that what her father said was right.

"Dad, don't let your imagination run wild. Brother Duan has already rescued you, and your daughter will never let anything happen to you again."

"Your...father is already a useless man...it's time to die!"

Shen Yanliu was a little excited. He seemed to want to say something, but Duan Rong suddenly looked at him and said, "You are right. As long as you don't die, Chen Xun will definitely bite Shen Mizhi. Not only is she in danger, but everyone here is in danger as well."

"So, you must die!"

When Duan Rong said this, everyone suddenly looked at him.

Ximen Kankan thought Duan Rong was crazy. It was you who rescued him, and now you say he must die. Why did you save him?

Duan Rong said: "Today at 3:00pm, you will be executed in public at the Ruyang execution ground! It is precisely because you are executed in public that you can live forever."

After saying this, the people around him all looked at Duan Rong as if he were a ghost.

What is this talking about!?
Duan Rong sighed. Although time was pressing, Shen Yanliu would obviously not give up if he didn't explain clearly.

Duan Rong had no choice but to tell Shen Yanliu about his plan.

Ximen Kankan also participated in this plan, but he still didn't quite understand it.

But Shen Yanliu was so mature that he understood just by listening to the general idea that this plan could indeed save them, father and daughter.

The conception of this plan alone is so brilliant that it can be described as a brilliant idea that reaches the sky.

But after a closer look, he felt that although the plan was brilliant, it would be difficult to implement due to many obstacles. Although Duan Rong had told him about the art of disguise and bone shrinking, which shocked him greatly, he still had doubts.

However, it is an indisputable fact that he has escaped from the dungeon, and Shen Mizhi is also there.

It was all thanks to Duan Rong that the father and daughter were able to reunite in the dilapidated temple.

However, Chen Xun's pursuers had not yet caught up, which seemed to prove that the plan Duan Rong mentioned had been implemented.

Shen Yanliu's eyes suddenly became serious, and he looked at Duan Rong in a low voice and said, "There is no kindness without reason in this world. Sir Duan, why are you willing to help us father and daughter?"

Before Duan Rong could speak, Shen Mizhi suddenly said, "Because I promised him that as long as he saved you, I would serve him as my master and obey his orders for the rest of my life." Shen Mizhi turned around and knelt down in front of Duan Rong, saying, "My life will be yours from now on. From now on, no matter if it's a mountain of swords or a pit of fire, as long as you give me the order, I will not turn back!"

After Shen Mizhi finished speaking, she prostrated herself before Duan Rong.

Shen Mizhi is paranoid and stubborn, but because of this, she will definitely put into practice what she says.

People like her are born assassins!

Xiao Yu's eyelids twitched, but this time she did not go up to pull Shen Mizhi.

As the saying goes, different times have different circumstances.

That day, in Liu Shushan's villa, Shen Mizhi prostrated herself on her knees. She tried to pull Shen Mizhi away because in her opinion, Shen Mizhi was forcing her husband at that time.

Although she sympathized with Shen Mizhi's situation, it didn't mean that she really wanted Duan Rong to take risks for Shen Yanliu.

If Duan Rong had no way to save Shen Yanliu at that time, Shen Mizhi's kneeling on the ground like this would be a kind of coercion for Duan Rong. As a wife, she had to help her husband out of trouble.

But now, it was completely different. Duan Rong had already rescued Shen Yanliu, and Shen Mizhi was now fulfilling her oath, so she had no reason to pull her up.

Shen Yanliu looked at Shen Mizhi like this, but didn't say anything.

He knew very well that Shen Mizhi's family background was no longer clean after he was involved in such a big case, and the sect had always attached great importance to this. He felt that it was a wise move for Shen Mizhi to follow Duan Rong as his master. Because, he saw that Duan Rong was definitely not an ordinary person. Before, he thought that the first case of dirty blood was just his luck, but now it seems that this boy's mental means can never be judged by common sense. Given time, he will definitely be a powerful person.

Shen Mizhi's attachment to him can be said to be a stepping stone to advancement.

Duan Rong looked at Shen Mizhi and said coldly: "Shen Mizhi, get up!"

"Yes!" Shen Mizhi stood up immediately after hearing that.

Shen Yanliu finally calmed down at this time.

Ximen Kankan took off his prison clothes and used medicine to treat his wounds.

Although Shen Mizhi also wanted to take care of her father, it was already late and Duan Rong had told her that he had other tasks, so she had to leave.

After Shen Mizhi said goodbye to her father briefly, she and Xiao Yu rode back to the official road and headed for Ruyang City. However, Shen Mizhi was already very relieved at this time, knowing that her father had been saved, she was no longer anxious and sad.

After the two of them left, Duan Rong gave Ximen Kankan a few instructions. He went to the carriage and changed into a new set of coarse linen clothes. Then he handed all his belongings to Ximen Kankan to take care of, and was about to leave.

Duan Rong was about to leave when Shen Yanliu suddenly looked at him and said, "Master Duan, I hope you can treat Mi Zhi well!"

Duan Rong said, "Don't worry. Shen Mizhi is paranoid, but she is loyal by nature. Although she just said that she would die, how could I let her die?"

If it was someone else, Duan Rong would not have said this. He said this because he knew that Shen Yanliu could understand.

Sure enough, Shen Yanliu nodded gently after hearing this. I'm not afraid of giving the wrong goods, I'm afraid of not knowing the goods.

Duan Rong walked to the gate of the dilapidated temple, removed the shaft of the carriage from the horse's back, mounted the horse, grabbed the horse's mane, and whipped the horse's butt.

The horse felt pain and ran away, getting on the official road towards Ruyang Prefecture.

Duan Rong also has to go back to Ruyang City because there are some aftermath matters that he needs to take care of.

Xiao Yu and Shen Mizhi rode their horses to the east gate of Ruyang Prefecture.

I saw a long queue formed there.

Today was supposed to be the day for the execution of prisoners in the Shen Yanliu case. In addition, there was a jailbreak in the dungeon, so the inspection at the city gates was extremely strict.

Xiao Yu and Shen Mizhi walked straight over and showed the Taiyi Order.

They came to Ruyang City just to show themselves to them, so there was no need to hide their identities.

As the outer sect disciples were imperial envoys, the gate guards naturally did not dare to question them and let them in directly. Someone was immediately sent to inform the government office in the prefecture.

Duan Rong came on horseback, but he was not so lucky. When he was almost at the city gate, he let the horse go into the wild, walked to the city gate himself, and stood at the end of the team.

Xiao Yu and Shen Mizhi entered the city gate and saw a lot of wanted warrants for Tang Wanhong posted at the gate.

However, they had been in the ruined temple before and had roughly heard Duan Rong's plan process, so they were not very surprised by this. Besides, they had other things to do and had no time to delay here. They just took a look and hurried away through the crowd.

The long queue outside the city was being checked, and it was finally Duan Rong's turn. He glanced at the position of the sun above his head and felt that there was still enough time.

He was only wearing a single piece of clothing, and he took off all his belongings, even the Minghong sword at his waist, and gave them to Ximen Kankan in the ruined temple for safekeeping.

The person who was checking him let him in after searching him.

Duan Rong walked into the city and went to Liu Shushan's villa first.

Liu Shushan had already been in the hall, waiting like an ant on the hot pan. He knew that Duan Rong had gone out at Yinshi, but several hours had passed and there was no sign of him.

He also got some information. He only heard that there was a commotion outside and someone had robbed the dungeon in the city.

As soon as he thought about it, he knew it was Duan Rong who did it. But what was the result? It was not long since the incident happened, so he could not find out the specific inside story.

Liu Shushan was there, feeling restless, when Duan Rong suddenly walked in.

When Liu Shushan saw Duan Rong come in safely, he finally felt relieved and said with a smile, "Brother Duan, I'm glad you're okay. The chaos outside scared me to death. I was afraid something had happened to you."

If something happens to Duan Rong, he and his family may also be implicated.

Duan Rong smiled and said, "What could be the problem?"

Duan Rong came to find Liu Shushan, wanting him to rush to the dilapidated temple to meet Ximen Kankan. He was worried that Ximen Kankan was alone there and might not be able to cope with any situation he encountered.

Upon hearing this, Liu Shushan asked, "Has the person been rescued?"

Duan Rong said, "Yes. You go over. Kankan is alone there, and Shen Yanliu is covered in wounds. I am a little worried."

After Duan Rong finished speaking, he turned and left.

Liu Shushan stood in the hall with a flickering look in his eyes.

Rescued him just now? Duan Rong not only rescued a top-ranked criminal from the dungeon in the prefectural city, a place that was considered a dead end, but he was also roaming around Ruyang Prefecture as if nothing had happened.

He actually understood it a little bit.

However, since Duan Rong asked him to go to the ruined temple to meet Ximen Kankan, he took a horse and left the villa.

Liu Shushan rode slowly on the street and saw many soldiers checking people on the street, and many places began to post Tang Wanhong's portrait.

The news Liu Shushan received in the morning was that there seemed to be a prison break in the dungeon in the city, but he did not know the specific circumstances. The portrait of the sea detective had just been posted.

At this moment, Liu Shushan looked at the portrait of the sea detective and was suddenly in a trance. He realized that the person being searched was actually Tang Wanhong.

Could it be that the person Duan Rong kidnapped from the dungeon was Tang Wanhong?

How can this be?

If that was the case, why did Duan Rong let him go to the ruined temple to meet Ximen Kankan, and why did he say that Shen Yanliu was covered in wounds?

But if not, why are these officers searching for Tang Wanhong at this time?

Could it be that the mansion master Chen Xun has lost his mind? !
