Chapter 10 I don’t believe in heaven or fate

In the early morning, a ray of sunshine falls, and the green leaves with raindrops are colorful under the sunlight.

It rained last night, so the bluestone was still a little damp, but it didn't affect our journey.

Beizhen Prefecture Secretary Gao Zhi and Gao Lian were waiting in front of the inn with a carriage.

When Shen Luo stepped out of the inn door, Gao Yanzhi immediately stepped forward and said, "Sir, they have already boarded the car. Please come."

With that said, Gao Zhi opened the curtain of the carriage and said, "Master Situ, get in the carriage!"

Shen Luo raised his eyes and saw Xie Yunsheng sitting in the carriage with a pale face. When he saw Shen Luo, Xie Yunsheng had a smile on his face: "Master Shen."

When Shen Luo saw Xie Yunsheng, she knew that brothers Zhang Kang and Zhang Liao were on the carriage behind, and then she stepped onto the carriage with peace of mind, ready to get off and ride a horse at any time.

She doesn't want anything to do with anyone else?

Gao Yanji picked up his whip and drove the carriage, followed closely by the carriage behind him.

After lighting the incense, Xi Shengdong and his men hurried over, hurriedly dismounted and strode into the inn, shouting loudly: "Master Situ, you can't leave!"

"The official has received reliable information that Gongsun Sheng's disciples are here to seek revenge on you. Many people have come, so you can't leave."

Xi Shengdong looked at the empty courtyard with a trace of panic in his eyes, and shouted loudly: "Store, where is Master Situ?"

"Sir, Master Situ left early in the morning." The shopkeeper quickly replied.

Xi Shengdong caressed his waist that was about to fall apart due to the jolt, and shouted hurriedly: "Come here, chase along the road. Be sure to catch up with Master Shen and tell her that someone is not good for her."

"Yes." The police officer behind him took the order and left.

The shopkeeper was confused and asked quickly: "Sir, what happened?"

Xi Shengdong rubbed his crumbling waist and replied feebly: "Gongsun Sheng's younger brother Gongsun Yang served as the salt and iron commissioner and was arrested for corruption and perverting the law. Gongsun Sheng was eager to protect his brother and openly robbed the prison. Lord Situ was ordered to hunt him down. Who knows? Gongsun Sheng refused to hand over his younger brother and even killed Master Shen. In the end, Master Situ killed him."

As he said that, Xi Shengdong looked at the shopkeeper and said anxiously: "Gongsun Sheng's apprentice has sworn an oath to intercept Master Shen and avenge Gongsun Sheng."

"Gongsun Sheng?" The shopkeeper broke into a cold sweat when he heard the name. He swallowed and asked, "Could it be Gongsun Sheng who is ranked ninth on the Tianji Hero List?!"

Gongsun Shengna is a master who has dominated the hero list for more than ten years. Shen Situ has only been in the world for five years, and he has not yet reached his double decade.

Can Master Shen really defeat Gongsun Sheng?

"Exactly!" Xi Shengdong replied eagerly.

"Gongsun Sheng runs a martial arts school and has countless disciples. No matter how powerful Mr. Shen is in martial arts, it's hard to be hostile to him!" Xi Shengdong thought for a while and still felt that he couldn't just sit back and watch. He hurriedly ran out of the inn and mounted his horse to chase Shen Luo.

Master Shen is deeply appreciated by His Majesty, and the elegant and handsome young master beside him does not look like an ordinary person. If something happens to the two of them, he will not be able to pay back even if he loses his life!

If she had reminded Mr. Shen in time, maybe she would remember her kindness in saving him and speak for herself in front of His Majesty, so as to forgive him for his lax supervision!

Whether it is for his own career or to save his life, he must catch up with Lord Shen!

…………

The carriage moved very quickly and steadily, which showed that the driver was very skilled.

Shen Luo frequently opened the curtains and looked out the window. Xie Yunsheng asked doubtfully: "Master Shen, is there something on your mind?"

"No, I just feel that the carriage is a bit slow!" Shen Luo withdrew her gaze and closed her eyes to rest.

Xie Yunsheng looked at Shen Luo and asked softly: "You didn't sleep last night, okay?"

"Is it because I'm thinking about Zhou Yu's case that I feel uncomfortable?" He raised his hand to touch her forehead, but in the end it was hidden.

Shen Luo opened her eyes and looked at Xie Yunsheng: "I don't understand. It was his stepmother who hurt Zhou Yu. Why did he want to take revenge on those girls? Why did those girls sell out his past?"

Amber eyes looked straight at Xie Yunsheng, as if she wanted to see into his heart, eager to know his answer.

He looked at Shen Luo and replied softly: "He dare not face people who hurt him. He can only hurt the weak to fill the wounds in his heart."

"Then how do you think revenge should be done?" Shen Luo stared into his black and white eyes, eager to hear his answer.

"It is never too late for a gentleman to seek revenge. He should not avoid hatred, let alone risk his life. Evidence should be found to bring him to justice," he advised.

"What if there is no evidence?" Shen Luo lifted the car curtain and looked out the window, gentle yet firm, noble yet cold, her amber eyes hid the loneliness of thousands of years and the ice and snow that cannot be melted away.

"Then try to find it, no one can do it without leaving any trace!" Xie Yunsheng replied firmly.

Shen Luo looked back, with a touch of bitterness on the corner of her lips: "If there are no bodies, no traces, no evidence, it cannot even be proved that those victims once existed, if..."

Only one witness is alive, but there is no evidence?

How can she get rid of those evildoers in a legitimate way?

"Forget it, pretend I didn't say anything." She secretly clenched her fists and leaned against the carriage, her eyes trembling slightly, but the twitching corners of her eyes told Xie Yunsheng that she was trying her best to suppress her anger.

"You can try to tell me! Maybe I can help you." In the past, he would not ask more for fear of making her sad. But now, even if it makes her angry, he will try to ask, hoping that she will ask her. Reveal the past yourself.

Shen Luo seemed to have not heard anything and ignored it.

Xie Yunsheng understood that she didn't want to implicate anyone, but he was not afraid of being implicate, he was only afraid that she would abandon him.

He wanted her to get rid of the past, live a good life, see the mountains and rivers, the sun and the moon, and watch him turn Jiang Guo into what she wanted.

He looked at her and advised: "Master Shen, everything in the world has a cause and effect, and those who do evil will eventually have their retribution."

"Those who are virtuous may not necessarily be blessed, and those who are unjust may not necessarily suffer disaster." Shen Luo opened his eyes and said loudly: "I don't believe in heaven or fate. I only believe in myself and the sword in my hand."

The carriage suddenly stopped, and Gao Zhi said: "Who among you dares to block our Lord Situ's carriage?"

"You are the one who is blocking it!" The person who came looked at the carriage and shouted loudly: "Shen Situ, come out and speak."

"My master, Sun Sheng, is famous all over the world for his generosity and righteousness. He is the ninth-ranked master on the Tianji Hero List. Why do you want to kill my master?"

"Don't talk nonsense. My master will never kill innocent people. Your master must have committed a serious crime and my master discovered it, so he will kill your master." Gao Zhi shouted loudly, resolutely defending Shen Luo.

Shen Luo opened the curtain, looked directly at Gongsun Sheng's disciple Kuang Ziyong with his amber eyes, and asked: "Gongsun Yang was the envoy of the Salt and Iron Division and was arrested for corruption and perverting the law. Gongsun Sheng was eager to protect his younger brother and secretly gathered people to rob the prison. I was ordered to do so." Why not hunt?"
