After refusing marriage, she was pampered by the prince who acted as a shield.

Chapter 511: Sending the Person

“I understand all of that, and I will absolutely not let Madam be in danger.”

After all, this woman has already given so much to them, and it's impossible for them to let anyone else do it.

On the battlefield.

Seeing that he couldn't kill all the enemies, Li Jingyang threw the short knife hanging on his side with all his might.

No one expected it to turn out this way, and many people nearby quickly moved away.

But some people can't avoid it and get stabbed through the body by a knife that's less than a forearm's length, and are thrown backward.

After defeating a large group, Li Jingyang finally cleared a path and took away all the soldiers who hadn't yet reacted.

Back in his tent, he finally caught his breath and turned to look at the crowd not far away.

"What are you still looking at? Those who are injured, go and heal. Those who are not injured, take this time to rest. There are still many people waiting for you."

"Yes."

Seeing Li Jingyang's exhausted appearance, the soldiers knew that he also needed to rest, so they immediately left the tent.

The guards who had silently entered saw Li Jingyang still in the same position and immediately took out some medicine from the corner to treat his wounds.

He remained silent throughout, as if the person in the room had long since fallen into a deep sleep.

"So, is someone making moves in there?"

"Our master is incredibly insightful. Indeed, someone is using various things as signals from behind, and even sending supplies to the other side."

You have to understand that there are quite a few people over there, and they need a lot of food and supplies. If they try to hold on by force, it will definitely be more difficult for them than for the other side.

But with someone offering such help, the outcome is truly uncertain.

Thinking about this, Li Jingyang's face grew increasingly gloomy, and after a moment he let out a cold laugh.

"Since he wants to do that, let him do it, but..."

As he said this, the smile on his face vanished, and his eyes turned sharp as he looked in one direction.

That might just be bait. If they fall for it, things will get even more complicated. He has to lure everyone out.

Although there will be considerable losses in Heyang, it will also solve many of his problems.

After thinking it all through, Li Jingyang gave his guards several more instructions before lying down on the bedding, still covered in injuries.

But before he could rest for even a moment, the sounds of clashing weapons came from outside again. He opened his eyes, put on his clothes, and rushed out.

He quickly cleared it away, and tried to walk back as if nothing had happened, but a sudden pain in his wound caused him to stumble and almost fall to the ground.

The soldiers nearby immediately took the man back to his tent, and only after his wounds were bandaged did they leave quietly.

Seeing Li Jingyang's appearance, the guard hesitated for a long time before finally passing on the message.

One reason was to lull the traitor into a false sense of security, and the other was to let Lin Rusi know his current situation.

The news spread quickly, but it almost sent people to the battlefield.

Fortunately, the guards beside him intervened repeatedly and persuaded him to send the prepared medicine to the battlefield.

"Why hasn't Ye Ruoruo arrived yet? Is something holding her back?"

"She arrived in Jiangnan a long time ago, but she mingled with the crowd to avoid exposing us. If you want to find her, I will call her over right away."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the inn's door was pushed open.

"I heard that Madam was looking for me, so I came here by myself. Please don't mind."

"I hope you can go to the battlefield to help him."

Ye Ruoruo knew that this matter concerned more than one person, so she nodded without hesitation.

But she didn't leave immediately; instead, she stood there staring intently at the few rations placed in the corner.

He immediately understood what this meant, and Lin Rusi placed a bag of dry rations, enough for three people for ten days, into the hands of one of the guards.

Just as the man was about to refuse, Ye Ruoruo grabbed him by the collar and pulled him away.

"Madam, this is extremely inappropriate. If Fan Zhe were to find out, then..."

"Now it's not a matter of the more people the better. He'll buy it back soon, and if he finds a large group of people here, he'll definitely suspect that I'm still hiding among them."

"But there were only some guards maintaining order, and he would at most come over and ask a couple of questions, which was easy to deal with at that time."

At that time, it was still necessary to arrange for some maids to follow along, so that it would be easier to blend in.

After making a few quick arrangements, Lin Rusi put on her coat, nodded to her maid, and walked quickly to the other side.

"Young lady, I've noticed that it's mostly you guys coming lately. Is your young lady unwell? In these chaotic times, you must make sure you survive."

"Don't worry, ma'am. Miss is just busy discussing the opening of the warehouse with various merchants. After all, there are so many people, and we don't know when it will end."

Hearing this, the old woman frowned even more deeply, but there was nothing she could do. She sighed and went back to her grandson to get his food.

Although there were children among them, they were all treated as adults, which allowed many people to share more food.

When the people saw this, they had a great fondness for the young ladies who were willing to give alms, and they would greet them and say a few words whenever they met them.

Lin Rusi didn't dislike the other party's behavior; in fact, she preferred to see it this way.

After all, only in this way can it be said that they are still relatively safe and sound.

But the next moment, Lin Rusi frowned and looked in the direction of the Fan residence.

"I wonder when he will be back, and how he will react when he discovers that Master Fan has disappeared."

"Madam, you'd better be careful. After all, your movements are quite significant, and he might very well set his sights on the porridge shop."

We understand that we can no longer afford to be in the spotlight.

Lin Rusi hesitated for a moment, then surprisingly smiled again.

"Since he thinks I'm dead, I wouldn't even think of coming here, but you still need to remember not to show yourself. After all, there's no need for a maid like me to be protected like this."

"That's too dangerous."

"This is called the most dangerous place being the safest. Don't make it too obvious, you know?"

The guard wanted to object, but seeing the other man's eyes, which were so similar to his master's, he had no choice but to lower his head.

The next day.

Lin Rusi wanted to go out and check on the food prepared for the day, but then she saw the guards quickly run back to the inn.

Realizing that Fan Zhe had returned, she slowly walked to the other side and knocked on the servants' room in the backyard.

"He's back."

"Thank you for the reminder, Madam. I will not wander around these next few days."

Hearing Mr. Fan's response, Lin Rusi breathed a sigh of relief and continued with her own business.

Meanwhile, Fan Zhe, who went straight back to the Fan residence, knew something was wrong the moment he saw the steward, and immediately pulled him over.

"Take me to see my father."

"Young Master! The Master suddenly disappeared yesterday. We searched the courtyard for a long time but still couldn't find him."

"Impossible, where could someone in his condition go?"

Could it be that Lin Rusi did something?

But she had already been dealt with by him, so how could she possibly be in two places to save Master Fan?
