Mistakenly Connected to the Jade Flower Branch

Chapter 128 Weird

Luo An was taken aback, then annoyed: "I'm asking seriously."

Mr. Xu said, “I’m very serious! I said I would take the money, and once the money is taken, it’s non-refundable. Whether you believe me or not is your business and has nothing to do with me.”

Luo An said, "No matter how expensive Heaven and Earth is, it truly treats and saves lives. Aren't you afraid of being beaten to death for spouting nonsense and talking recklessly?"

Xu Sheng laughed: "There are only a handful of people in the world who can defeat me. General Yan..."

Caught off guard by being called out by name, Yan Zeyu cautiously replied, "Your Highness?"

Xu Sheng said, "So easily you saved Nan Yue ten thousand taels of gold, wouldn't you say I'm a genius...?"

Yan Zeyu glanced at Xu Sheng, then at Luo An, before turning to Xue Yunting: "Young General?"

Xue Yunting came to his rescue: "Your Highness is not a genius, but a rare freak!"

Xu Sheng said discontentedly, "Yun Ting, if you don't make me happy, you can lead the soldiers yourself. I'm leaving."

Xue Yunting looked up at the sky from the courtyard, and only after Xu Sheng had stepped out the door did he slowly say, "Your Highness..."

Xu Sheng said arrogantly, "It's too late. My foot has already stepped out the door and I can't take it back."

Xue Yunting said, "I am just reminding Your Highness. Your Highness just deceived my brother-in-law and has been given a colorless and odorless poison by him."

Xu Sheng abruptly withdrew his foot, turned around and pointed at Luo An: "...You're at it again...How old are you, can't you take a joke..."

Luo An threw down the chess piece and stood up: "General Yan, come with me for a walk."

Xu Sheng said, "Antidote, antidote..."

Luo An said, "I'll give it to you before I leave tomorrow."

As Xu Sheng watched Luo An and Yan Zeyi leave, he said resentfully, "You petty scoundrel, you'll hold a grudge for anything!"

There was a drying ground at the entrance, and opposite the drying ground were rice paddies. The rice had all been harvested, and neat stacks of straw were piled up one after another. At the end of the drying ground was a small river with shallow and clear water.

Luo An sat on a protruding rock in the river and spotted a heart-shaped pebble in the water. He picked it up, held it in his palm for a while, and then looked up at the horizon.

The sun has set, the afterglow has faded. The moon rises above the willow branches, and we are now separated by vast distances...

Luo An naturally thought of Nian Yao: How is she? Is she still angry? Does she miss him...?

Starting a family and establishing a career brings responsibilities. But even when there's nothing to do, the heart is full; there's no longer emptiness and aimlessness: how wonderful!

In the middle of the night, someone blew sleeping gas through the crack in the door. About an incense stick later, someone pried open the door latch and quietly walked to the bedside.

The man slowly thrust his long sword towards the person on the bed, but sensing something was wrong, he withdrew his sword and lit a lamp.

Luo An slowly opened his eyes on the bed. Yan Zeyi walked forward from the corner: "Young General?"

Xue Yunting sheathed his sword and said gently, "Brother-in-law, you almost died."

Luo An stood up from the bed: "Xie Yunting, please show mercy."

Xue Yunting said, "Father said that Uncle Liu has been kind to the Dahe Gang, to my sister, and to the Xue family. He cannot die in vain."

Luo An asked, "How do you know that Uncle Liu died at the hands of General Yan?"

The window opened with a click, and Xu Shengyue sat on the windowsill: "Observe the affairs of the world, listen to the sounds of the world, do you think I, the master of Guanyin Pavilion, am dead?"

Luo An ignored Xu Sheng and asked Xue Yunting, "Did Qin Jiu say that?"

Xue Yunting remained noncommittal: "Brother-in-law, we've known about every little thing the Dahe Gang has been up to these past few years. It's not that we want to control the Dahe Gang; it's just that we're all very concerned about my sister's safety."

After Yue Niang died, we worried about General Yan and Xu Lai's retaliation. But nothing happened over the years, so we lowered our guard..."

Yan Zeyu was quite frank: "I haven't made a move for two reasons. First, I'm busy, and second, I can't get into Chongming Island. A true man distinguishes between right and wrong; if he dies, he dies. Young master, you don't need to protect me. The young general can do it!"

Xue Yunting said, "Brother-in-law is just a doctor, why should he get involved in this matter? My sister will be unhappy if she finds out."

Luo An said, "If you really thought I was a doctor, you shouldn't have invited me to Hengshan. Xue Yunting, you underestimate Nianyao. As the leader of a gang, she understands the importance of the big picture better than anyone else. She's not stupid; she guessed that you two wanted to frame General Yan. Since you're using her, you can't expect her to trust you."

Xu Sheng said, "You came to Hengshan partly because you wanted to, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to invite you. Your mother almost died in Hengshan back then, you probably wouldn't have wanted to come and see her..."

Luo An said calmly, "So what if it is, so what if it isn't? In short, General Yan cannot die. If you really want to kill him, you'll have to get past me first."

Xue Yunting's expression was cold and stern.

Luo An showed no fear and said to Xu Sheng, "I will definitely protect General Yan. If General Yan gets into trouble in Nan Yue, don't blame me for taking action against you. You have no feelings for Nan Yue, and neither do I."

When a tiger unleashes its power, both Xu Sheng and Xue Yunting have to be wary.

Xu Sheng said to Xue Yunting, "I told you you couldn't kill him, but you wouldn't believe me. Let's go, it's pointless to keep this up."

Xue Yunting turned and left without saying a word.

"It's late and the dew is heavy, you two should get some rest." Xu Sheng jumped out of the window and thoughtfully closed it behind him.

Yan Zeyu asked, "Young master, when did you find out?"

Luo An said, "After the Yuan residence was burned down, I went to the palace to see the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince told me that you should go directly back to Bianjing tomorrow and await the Crown Prince's orders. Do not return to Chongming Island."

Yan Zeyu said, "Young Master, what if the Crown Prince asks..."

Luo An said, "Just say it. There's nothing I can't say. By the way, tell him that I will do everything in my power to stop him from crossing the Jingjiang River in the future."

"Yes, young master!" Yan Zeyu thought for a moment, "Is the prince really poisoned?"

Luo An shook his head: "No. He just got bitten by a snake once. He invited me to Hengshan and then fooled me. He wouldn't have believed me if I hadn't poisoned him. Yun Ting just went along with it."

Yan Zeyu felt a sense of mutual respect for Xue Yunting: "Young General, you are truly a genius."

"General Yan, there's no need to belittle yourself. It's no small feat for someone to rise from an ordinary fisherman to a boat captain in just a few years." Luo An walked towards the door: "It's late, get some rest."

Yan Zeyu opened the door for him first: "If I return to Bianjing, what will the Chief ask..."

Luo An said, "She can't kill you for now, so it's always good that you're not around her. If she asks, I'll just tell the truth. What can she do to me?"

As Luo An stepped out, Yan Zeyu whispered, "Thank you, Young Master!"

Luo An stood outside the door: "If you want to thank someone, thank the Crown Prince. I was just doing my duty as a servant. If it weren't for Crown Prince An, you would have died as soon as you left Chongming Island."

Luo An returned to his room and lay on the bed, unable to fall asleep. He found himself increasingly unable to understand Xu Sheng.

His statement to Xu Sheng, "You have no feelings for Nanyue," was actually a test, and Xu Sheng didn't object. The position of Commander-in-Chief of the three armies was incredibly important, yet Xu Sheng treated it like a game. How could the King of Nanyue trust him so much?

Xu Sheng's carefree and easygoing nature is truly admirable!
