Her husband was always thinking for her, so what couldn't she say? Moreover, her husband wasn't a talkative person. He, a lesser demon, had no place to chat with others. At this moment, She Miao had completely forgotten about her husband's "good neighbors".
"This is what happened …" She Miao walked closer to Little Fatty and quickly told him about her uncle's visit. Although she was born in a disgraceful family, her father had already recognized her and her grandfather had not forsaken her. As a daughter of the Tian Family, she did not feel disheartened at all! Every year, she would give her grandfather and father a lot of incense and burn a lot of money! As for whether her mother would recognize her or not, she had already grown up. If not for her mother's ten-odd years, wouldn't that have passed as well? At most, they would be filial when they met in the future! However, she absolutely could not obey every single one of his orders! For example, Uncle had said that they were going to have a good marriage … I should keep this a secret from my husband.
Ren Ang glared, "Your uncle?" His glass-like eyes rolled around as he asked somewhat guiltily, "Then, did he say anything bad about me?"
"Yes." She Miao nodded her head heavily, "They say that Ren Ang is not in Assistant Minister Ren's residence." Of course she knew! Because he was the one who raised her husband! Impersonating an identity was only a temporary measure. Now that he had been exposed, he felt extremely uneasy.
"Do you think the Ren Family will send people to look for trouble with us?" Initially, she only wanted a moment of happiness. Since her husband had promised that there would be no problems, she had neglected this matter. Now, they did come knocking on his door, didn't they? And this was still his real uncle. If it were anyone else, they would probably accuse them of using the identity as the son of an official …
Would he be beheaded?
She Miao touched her neck in alarm.
"My wife, don't be afraid. Your husband's identity will not be exposed for a while." Ren Ang comforted her. The Assistant Minister Ren was in too much of a mess, could he guarantee that no children would stay out here? The trouble was that the Duke Xinyang had actually come knocking! Duke Xinyang coming to visit meant that the mother-in-law had started to pay attention to her daughter …
Maybe he planned to show his wife some other young man?
This was the first time Ren Ang felt that his position had been threatened!
Ren Ang actually knew about the background of She Miao, after all, mortals have their own history, which was not difficult for him, but as for She Miao's father … He really didn't find anything about this. It was just that from She Miao's unique fate, it was possible that her father had already transcended the mortal world. Otherwise, she would have already become an immortal, or else she would have fallen into a demonic state.
This wasn't a big problem for him, and he was even secretly happy that he could cultivate immortality with his wife!
Previously, when he had just taken human form, he was lacking in intelligence and could not clearly see the mortal world. He could only vaguely sense that the He Miao was related to the Duke Xinyang and Ren Family, thus, when he reported his identity, he borrowed that title.
Now that he had been exposed, he had nothing to fear. Using the principle of not moving, Ren Ang didn't do anything for the time being, he only stuck a Glyph on the seedling.
"This is the Talisman of Intent. If my wife is in danger, I will immediately sense it and then think of a way to help you!" Since the surrounding plants couldn't walk, why couldn't the birds and beasts run? Being a big monster had these benefits: People … No, the beast fate was extremely good! fog)
Seeing that the time was almost up, she left by another small path and went down the mountain.
The two spies were still trapped in the forest, unable to find a way out.
Ren Ang secretly pinched his fingers, the white mist in the mountain suddenly became denser, gradually covering the surrounding scenery.
After a few days, Zhao Pingan and his group finally finished dealing with their chores and returned home satisfied. On the way, they met two haggard men, who were either robbed or trapped in the woods and starved to death. The two men dispiritedly stopped their team, asked for food and water, and begged for their help to send the two of them to the barracks outside the prefecture.
Zhao Pingan was initially unwilling, but seeing that the two of them were speaking sincerely and did not look like a swindler, and that he had taken out the name tags for the guards, he relied on his numbers, and was not afraid of the two trying to trick them. Thus, he returned, sending the two men back to the location before returning home with uncontrollable joy.
Those two unlucky fellows were precisely the two people who were following him, Xiao Gui and his teammates.
That day, after losing the young girl, they had somehow gotten lost in the mountains and even encountered a rare mist! After wandering around aimlessly for who knows how many days, gnawing on the bark grass and drinking the Morning Dew Brook water with hunger and thirst, they were exhausted from all the work. Only then did they suddenly see the light of day and hear the hiss of a horse, the two of them scrambled out of the forest and stopped the party that was trying to save them.
Fortunately, that group of people seemed to be from the village and were relatively simple and honest. Although the person in the lead had the shrewdness of a merchant, he didn't make things difficult for them and even sent them back to the campsite.
They would remember this favor! Then, he quickly reported the incident and the defeat to his superior.
The officer in charge was Huo Changyang, an elite troop brought out by the Duke Xinyang a few years ago. He was currently in charge of the Yanzhou Prefecture City Guards and temporarily in charge of the vice commander position.
Hearing his subordinate's predicament, he did not say anything, but waved his hand to allow the two of them to rest. Then, he took up his brush and wrote a letter to Duke Xinyang.
On the other side, Zhao Pingan and his group returned back to the village, keeping a low profile. When they met the villagers on the way, they said that they were safe, but they were exhausted. Everyone split up and went back home to wash up and get dressed. As for the hired escort, he had already settled the matter in the prefecture and went his own way. As soon as Big Yellow and the Hui Hua entered the village, they left the group and ran straight back home.
After that, the barking sound from the young man's house lasted for quite some time. When someone asked, the young man just said that Big Yellow was at home catching rats.
When it was dusk and everyone was cooking at home, Zhao Pingan sneaked out of the house with a small bag in his arms.
"Brother Ping Ang is here." He welcomed his in with a smile on his face. He waited for his to take a seat and then served her some tea before asking, "How is it?"
Zhao Pingan placed the grey-blue cloth bag on the table in front of the young man, and after hesitating for a while, he said: "There is indeed a family named Yan in Yanzhou Prefecture, and his family has indeed lost their child."
"What did his family say?"
Zhao Pingan revealed a bitter smile, "What is my identity, how can the master of that family be willing to see me."
She Miao raised an eyebrow. "You know the whereabouts of his child, but he actually refuses to see it?" Such parents were naturally very thin.
Zhao Pingan shook his head and explained in detail what happened to him.
During this trip, they first compared the price of the big shops in the city, the ones that were more popular, like fox fur, silver fur, and mouse skin, and wanted to take 10% from the shops for them. It was not worth it, but since their own stalls were not able to get a good price, Zhao Pingan used his usual method — — going through the streets and alleys, specifically picking the entrances of the big families.
