The people from the mission soon returned. They were all shocked when they saw Qian Zhao and Sun Lang being tied up. Qian Zhao and Sun Lang shouted loudly for them to be untied, but Yu Shisan stopped them and said everything.
Wait until Ning Yuanzhou comes back.
So even though Sun Lang and Qian Zhao revealed that Ren Ruyi was Zhu Yiwei's spy, which made everyone suspicious and wary, no one really let them go.
In the end, Qian Zhao and Sun Lang also gave up their struggle and felt very aggrieved. They were obviously the righteous ones, but now they were made to look like bad guys who undermined unity.
What made them even more angry was that these guys seemed to be deliberately watching the fun, passing by them from time to time, laughing and talking, just like watching monkeys.
The two men's eyes wished they could chop Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi into pieces. They were not liberated until Ning Yuanzhou and Yuan Lu returned to the post house.
Ning Yuanzhou already knew everything from Yu Shisan's heart, so after he came back, he immediately released Qian Zhao and Sun Lang, and then explained to them personally.
But Qian Zhao and Sun Lang didn't believe it at all, or they believed it, but they felt that Ning Yuanzhou was seeking skin from a tiger, and they didn't agree with Ning Yuanzhou's approach, and insisted on clamoring to take down Ren Ruyi.
Ning Yuanzhou tried his best to persuade them, and finally used his own personality as a guarantee to ensure that there would be no problem with Ren Ruyi, so they reluctantly agreed not to do anything.
But Qian Zhao still found Ren Ruyi and warned him coldly: "If you dare to do anything to harm His Highness or the mission, I will kill you even if I risk my life."
But Ren Ruyi didn't take his threat seriously at all. Firstly, she didn't think Qian Zhao could kill her. Secondly, she never thought about betraying the mission, let alone harming Yang Ying.
"Okay, okay, now the misunderstanding is resolved, everyone is happy."
Seeing that the matter had almost been resolved, Yu Shisan jumped up and down like a child and clapped with both hands, feeling very happy.
But the next moment, Qian Zhao and Sun Lang took action at the same time, holding down Yu Shisan.
"Hey, Lao Qian, Lao Sun, what are you doing?"
"Hit him."
Qian Zhao and Sun Lang didn't give him a chance at all. They raised their fists and beat him severely.
After a while, Yu Shisan said with a sad face: "It's really unreasonable. You can't beat Lao Zhou and Beauty, so you know how to bully me."
Qian Zhao found Zhou Chen again.
"I hope you keep an eye on your woman, and I will keep an eye on you."
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Your innocuous threats are of no use to me."
"snort."
Qian Zhao snorted coldly, turned around and left, obviously still very resentful of Zhou Chen's previous behavior.
At night, after Ren Ruyi came back from being out for a long time, she went directly to Zhou Chen's room.
"This is for you."
Ren Ruyi handed over a carving knife: "I've seen you carve wood carvings several times before. I happened to have a piece of meteorite iron fragment here, so I sharpened it. I just went out and got a horn handle.
It should be easier to use for wood carving than other knives."
Zhou Chen took it and took a look at it, and saw the extraordinary quality of the carving knife: "You gave such a precious thing to me like this?"
Ren Ruyi said nonchalantly: "Just consider it as a thank you gift that you didn't doubt me at all today and are still willing to help me."
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "You are my mother. Even if there is no benefit, I will still stand by your side."
"Then what if one day I become enemies with your brothers in Liudaotang, will you stand by me?"
"Of course, I certainly won't let such a thing happen, but if such a day comes, I will also guard you and prevent anyone from hurting you, and at the same time, I will also prevent you from hurting them."
Ren Ruyi was very satisfied with the answer: "I just sharpened this carving knife and haven't carved anything yet."
"Then if you are free now, just sit down for a while and I will carve one for you on the spot."
Zhou Chen went out to find a medium-sized piece of wood, then looked at Ren Ruyi and started carving.
He is a true master of sculpting. Even a real statue is not difficult for him.
Ren Ruyi looked at Zhou Chen's carving seriously. The serious Zhou Chen was really charming, but slowly, her eyes shifted from Zhou Chen's face to the wood carving in his hand.
Zhou Chen carved very quickly. In less than a quarter of an hour, he had already carved out a rough model. Ren Ruyi also soon discovered that it was her who Zhou Chen carved.
"Okay, here you go, the material is limited, do you think it looks like it?"
Ren Ruyi took the wood carving, and it was indeed her that Zhou Chen carved. It looked very similar, even more like a portrait.
"Your wood carving is so amazing."
"Practice makes perfect. We have been together for such a long time and I am very familiar with you, so I can carve you out so quickly."
"Thank you, I like it very much."
Ren Ruyi was much happier holding her wooden carving than when Zhou Chen gave her the candy man during the day.
Zhou Chen said: "As long as you like it, I will find better wood another day and carve a better one for you."
"No, I like this very much."
She doesn't care if it's better or more similar, she only cares that this is the first wood carving Zhou Chen gave her. There may be better ones later, but the meaning of this wood carving is different.
Early the next morning, Shen Tuchi, the garrison of Xucheng City, sent someone to ask for Yang Ying and invited her to the military camp.
Although everyone knew that Shen Tuchi was not well-intentioned and Yang Ying was also very scared, she still mustered up the courage and decided to go.
