Chapter 731 The Passes Have Been Crossed (3)
"Don't talk nonsense. Let me introduce you. This is Yuanlu, and this is Ren Ruyi." Ning Yuanzhou coughed lightly and changed the subject.
"Hello, brother, let me introduce you. This is Xie Yuchen, and this is Zhang Qilin, your future brother-in-law." Wangyou dropped a bombshell on Ning Yuanzhou with a smile.
Ning Yuanzhou: ...
"Greetings, Pavilion Master." Guan Zhao and Zhou Yin quickly bowed.
"Good, they all came back alive. Now go to the finance department to collect your bonuses."
"Yes, Pavilion Master," Guan Zhao and Zhou Yin replied loudly.
Ning Yuanzhou was still processing the shock of his sister bringing back two brothers-in-law.
"Come here and tell me what's going on," Ning Yuanzhou said, pulling Wangyou directly into the study.
"As you see it, I found you two brothers-in-law and two husbands for myself. Is there a problem?"
"What other problems are there? This is a huge problem, you know."
“I think it’s fine!” Wangyou said seriously. “If you think one Ruyi isn’t enough, you can find two more.”
"Seriously, are you planning to get married?"
"Of course, brother. It's not easy to meet someone who makes your heart flutter in this life. If you do, you should cherish it."
"Alright, I have no objection since you've made your decision. Now tell me, what's going on with the Pavilion Master?"
"Oh, this belongs to the Thousand Machine Pavilion!"
Ning Yuanzhou: "..."
"By the way, that Ren Ruyi, if I remember correctly, she is Ren Xin, the former Left Envoy of the Zhu Yiwei, and now a taboo in the Zhu Yiwei of Anguo. Feelings aside, you still need to be careful."
"Wait, she, is that Ren Xin?" Ning Yuanzhou felt quite shocked.
"That's right, I didn't expect that your Six Paths Hall didn't even know what Ren Xin looked like. This information is really bad!"
Ning Yuanzhou wiped his face. He thought the girl who was teasing cats and dogs was the Thousand Machines Pavilion Master, feared by all nations. He thought the woman who was Bai Que was a top assassin. This was quite a big surprise.
"Sis, tell me what you're doing next time. You're giving me this huge shock out of the blue." Ning Yuanzhou quickly accepted the fact after his initial disillusionment. Anyway, Wangyou had been smart since she was a child, so it wasn't surprising that she had built up such a large power base.
"Okay, by the way, brother, Wudu is not peaceful at all now. Do you still want to come and retire with me?"
"It won't be easy! By the way, did you have Zhang Song beaten up?"
"Yeah, it's because that old Deng bullied you."
"Good job! You really vented my anger!"
The brother and sister chatted amicably in the study for a while before coming out.
"Little sister, may I try out these two's martial arts?"
"Of course you can, but I just hope you won't cry if you lose!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Ning Yuanzhou and Zhang Qilin started fighting, their blows landing hard and painful to watch.
"Blueberry, go prepare some wound medicine. They'll probably need it after they're done fighting."
"Yes, ma'am."
"You must be Genroku. My brother has mentioned you to me a few times, but this is the first time we've met in person."
"Hello, Sister Wangyou. Ningtou said his work wasn't suitable for involving you, so he didn't introduce us to you," Yuanlu said with a smile.
"You don't seem to be in good health; you have a congenital heart condition."
"Hmm, it's a congenital heart defect. Oh, by the way, this is a mechanical bird I made, I'm giving it to you." Yuanlu rummaged through his pockets for a while before finally taking out a decent gift.
"Thank you, very skillful. Are you good at mechanical devices?"
"I wouldn't say I'm good at it, just that it's necessary."
"Oh."
"Aren't you worried that they might hurt each other?" Ren Ruyi asked curiously, surprised that Ning Yuanzhou actually had a younger sister.
"Don't worry, they know their limits and will stop when they're done. It'll just be a superficial injury afterward."
After sparring, all three had injuries, some more, some more, and the bruises and welts looked quite frightening.
"Where did you find him? He's so skilled."
"Of course, I, Ning Wangyou, would naturally want the best." Wangyou was quite smug.
"Miss Ruyi, I'll have to trouble you with my brother's injuries." Wangyou smiled as she handed the medicine to Ruyi, then pulled Xie Yuchen and Zhang Qilin away to apply the medicine to them.
"Um, Sister Ruyi, let me do it." Yuanlu smiled and quickly went to apply the medicine to Ning Yuanzhou.
"Miss, breaking news: Zhang Song plans to make the eldest young master the commander of the delegation, using the lives of the people of Tiandao."
"Let my brother take a look; it's his decision."
It seems there's no telling when her brother's plan to retire and live a quiet life will actually come to fruition.
The next day, everyone went out together. Ning Yuanzhou was still worried about his Heavenly Dao brothers and planned to go to Anguo to see if he could find out some information.
On the way, he parted ways with Ruyi.
Halfway there, they encountered an ambush by the Six Paths Hall. Wangyou chose to stand by and watch the show rather than help. After all, Zhang Song would never let anyone kill her brother, otherwise who would escort Prince Li to Anguo?
Wangyou wasn't worried, but what she didn't expect was that Ren Ruyi would turn back halfway, making a grand entrance in a truly heroic manner.
"This woman should be my sister-in-law," Wangyou said, her eyes shining.
Xie Yuchen and Zhang Qilin were helpless; what kind of sister would so openly watch her brother make a fool of himself?
Ning Yuanzhou and Zhang Song finally sat down to talk. Ning Yuanzhou eventually agreed to go on the mission to Anguo, but he needed manpower.
It was Zhang Song, that old scoundrel, who actually poisoned her brother, and he even poisoned him with a poisonous substance called "Xun Qian Ji".
"Lanzhi, go. Once the delegation departs, give that old fellow Zhang Song three days to test a new poison that won't kill him."
"Yes, Pavilion Master." Lan Zhi was also helpless. Why couldn't this Prime Minister learn his lesson?
When Ning Yuanzhou returned, Wangyou cured him of the poison, and then Ning Yuanzhou went to find someone.
"Yuanlu, here's some medicine for you. Take one pill a day for a month, and your health will improve."
"really?"
“Of course it’s true. My master’s medical skills are superb, he’s practically a miracle doctor. It’s just that he doesn’t like to save people. You’re lucky.” Blueberry said with a smile.
"Thank you, Sister Wangyou, I will eat it properly." Yuanlu immediately poured out one and ate it.
After taking the pill, Yuanlu felt a difference; he felt exceptionally comfortable and knew that the medicine was truly effective.
The mission departed soon, and Ning Yuanzhou found all the people he was looking for. He got to know Wangyou briefly, but they didn't get to know each other well; they were just nodding acquaintances.
After thinking it over, Wangyou decided to see them off before returning home to continue her retirement, hoping that her brother and the others could return safely.
"Is Prince Li leading everyone to their deaths by going to Anguo like this?" Wangyou noticed Prince Li's words and actions along the way and felt a sense of worry.
"Qingyun, take an elite force and follow them. Make sure to protect my brother's safety. As for Ruyi, if you encounter her, just protect her as well, since she is very likely to be my future sister-in-law."
"Yes, Pavilion Master." Qingyun personally selected a group of top experts from the Thousand Machines Pavilion to follow.
