Chapter 1833 Reflection
"Our people have already alerted the enemy." Chen Changli's face was bitter. "So what is the situation in Xingyun Town at the moment? You and I can guess. If innocent people are allowed to pretend to be civilians and get trapped, I'm afraid they will lose their lives for no reason."
Wan Shufang was slightly stunned, then she raised her hand and knocked her forehead: "I actually ignored this matter, I was so anxious that I was confused."
After she finished speaking, she rubbed her eyebrows and looked at Chen Changli worriedly, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Don't worry." Chen Changli saw that Wan Shufang looked unhappy, and hurriedly held her hand. "The situation in Xingyun Town may be terrible, but we have so many people. As long as we work together, we can definitely solve the problem."
When Wan Shufang heard this, she immediately felt something was wrong and looked at him.
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, as if he had something to say to her, Wan Shufang changed her mind and spoke first, "I want to go to Xingyun Town with you."
She said this in a very serious tone, obviously expressing her attitude to Chen Changli.
Chen Changli hesitated for a moment before sighing, "The danger of this matter may be far greater than the crisis we encountered before."
"So you want to persuade me? Chen Changli, we have been married for many years, don't you understand my temper?" Wan Shufang hit her chest, "Also, don't forget what you promised me before."
"We have only lived peacefully for a few years. Are you going to forget it?" Wan Shufang rolled her eyes, took a step forward, looked up at Chen Changli, "Do you have any guesses? That's why you don't want me to take risks with you."
Chen Changli's thoughts were revealed, but his face showed no change of emotion.
Wan Shufang understood him and knew that he would always want to persuade her to stay in a safe place because he was worried about her.
"Is it related to the situation in Xingyun Town?" Wan Shufang was in a bad mood. "No matter what you guessed, I hope you can tell me, and then we can solve this matter together."
Chen Changli was afraid that she would overthink it, so he quickly said, "I didn't guess anything, I just thought that Xingyun Town might be trying to lure you into a trap."
"This possibility is indeed quite high." Wan Shufang was stunned for a moment, then sighed, "But even so, I don't think you can solve this problem alone."
She patted the bag on her waist and said meaningfully, "I can be cruel now. If anyone dares to offend me, I will poison him."
Wan Shufang raised her eyebrows and walked towards Xingyun Town.
She was moving very fast, but her back showed determination.
Chen Changli hurriedly followed her, looking extremely conflicted, but in the end he said nothing because Wan Shufang's attitude was very obvious.
If he rejected Wan Shufang and wanted her to go back, wouldn't she hate him?
With all kinds of thoughts running through his mind, Chen Changli wanted to slap himself a few times.
Why couldn't he change his temper? Every time he encountered danger, he wanted to protect Wan Shufang.
But if he could protect Wan Shufang, how could he let her be in danger?
Chen Changli reflected on himself, and suddenly a sense of guilt emerged from his heart, like a reality that could not be ignored.
Chen Changli pursed his lips into a straight line, clenched his fists, and his eyes showed determination. "Shufang, I have done this more than once or twice, why don't you hate me?"
Hearing this, Wan Shufang stopped, turned around and looked at him.
Seeing his face full of guilt, Wan Shufang felt irritability, pain, uneasiness, fear, heartache and other emotions flashing through her heart, which made her tone become stern. "Why are you so worried about gains and losses? Is it the situation in Xingyun Town that makes you uncomfortable?"
Chen Changli didn't know what to say, so he could only express his apology, "I failed to fulfill my promise to you, so..."
When Wan Shufang heard the word "promise", she quickly covered his mouth, glared at him and said, "You do worry about such things, but I don't think that's what you think deep down in your heart. You just subconsciously made this choice so that you can take risks."
"In fact, I am not afraid of danger, nor do I think that we are lucky. Every time we encounter danger, we can escape unscathed, so I don't take chances."
Wan Shufang said this to me with great sincerity, because she knew clearly where Chen Changli's various worries came from, which was nothing more than his lack of confidence in his own abilities.
"Chen Changli, I hope you don't take chances, because after going through so much, my husband and I have become a thorn in the eyes of others."
"Even if I leave you, I can't be alone. Instead of us acting separately and being targeted by others, it's better for us to act together from the beginning."
Wan Shufang could understand Chen Changli's mentality very well and wanted to enlighten him so that he would not worry too much about gains and losses.
However, the situation in Xingyun Town had not yet been clarified, so she could only suppress all her emotions and explain things to him simply.
Chen Changli was smart and understood what she said as soon as he heard it.
He reflected on himself again, suppressed his complicated emotions, and took Wan Shufang to Xingyun Town. Afterwards, the couple walked around the periphery to make sure that there was no one guarding the area, but they did not take it lightly.
It's just because there seems to be no one in the town, but the quieter it is, the more people will suspect that there is an ambush.
"Let's use smoke." Wan Shufang and Chen Changli were hiding in a thorn forest. Seeing that it was getting darker and there were more mosquitoes around, they spoke up.
"Wait a moment." For safety reasons, Chen Changli decided to wait a moment.
They waited until dark, and the whole Xingyun Town was like a trapped beast in a dark cage, with no light to free it.
Chen Changli noticed this and immediately took Wan Shufang to another jungle.
Wan Shufang thought he was going to take her into the town, but unexpectedly Chen Changli was taking her to another place to hide.
She was confused and was about to ask when there was a sudden movement in the town not far away.
Her heart skipped a beat and her eyes unconsciously looked towards Xingyun Town.
Vaguely seeing a group of people walking out, Wan Shufang subconsciously held her breath and then shrank herself into the depths of the jungle.
Chen Changli secretly held her hand to comfort her.
Wan Shufang felt his intentions and tried to calm herself down, staring closely at the people coming out of Xingyun Town.
Seeing them groping in the dark towards the left front, Wan Shufang waited patiently for a while, and when she felt that it was almost time, she exhaled and asked, "Are they going to deliver the goods?"
Speaking of the word "goods", Wan Shufang felt very uncomfortable.
She frowned, trying to suppress her discomfort, and looked up at Chen Changli, "How can we stop them?"
Chen Changli's brainstorming suddenly came to his mind, and then he lowered his voice and said, "Let's follow them and check the situation. If they are delivering the goods in secret, we will first find a way to stop them, and then let the imperial envoy bring people to arrest them."
