Chapter 829 Facing a Desperate Situation

The place where Wang Wenzhou was assassinated was very close to Shanhaiguan. When Wang Wenzhou returned with Liu Rushi on his back, he found many soldiers. He was terrified and fled with Liu Rushi on his back.

Wang Wenzhou was so exhausted that he could no longer walk that he put Liu Rushi down from his back. He sat on the ground to rest for a while, then removed the gag from Liu Rushi's mouth and began to untie the ropes binding her.

"Huh?" Liu Rushi was completely confused. What was wrong with this guy?

"Ru Ru, you should go!" After untying the ropes, Wang Wenzhou looked at Liu Ru Shi and said reluctantly.

"What's wrong?" Liu Rushi frowned and said irritably, "You guessed it too, it was that little bitch Dayuer who wanted to kill me?"

"Sigh..." Wang Wenzhou sighed, saying with a wry smile, "Ruru, Ruru, stop fooling around. My dear Yu'er, I would never send anyone to kill you!"

"Hmph!" Liu Rushi snorted coldly, saying irritably, "She's a vicious snake, what wouldn't she do? Su Mo'er was injured because she saved me. If it weren't for Su Mo'er, I would have died under your Da Yu'er's blade long ago!"

Wang Wenzhou shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Ruru, Ruru, based on my understanding of her, she might really want to kill you when I'm not around. But as long as I'm there, she would never do it. Today's assassins were definitely not sent by her. Even if she's foolish and doesn't know what's important, Manzhu Xili isn't stupid!"

"Hmm?" Liu Rushi frowned, carefully considering Wang Wenzhou's words. It seemed that what this nemesis said made some sense.

Wang Wenzhou continued, "Zhu Youjian released me back to Hanshan because he knew you were in Liaodong. Knowing me as he did, he knew I would do anything to save you if I found out!"

Hearing Wang Wenzhou say this, Liu Rushi's expression gradually softened.

“But I can’t understand why you’re in Liaodong. How could my Ru Ru be so foolish? So I decided to play along and prepare my troops in Hanshan, intending to use this as a pretext to attack Guo and take the opportunity to capture Beijing.” Wang Wenzhou said with a wry smile, “But the spies I sent to Liaodong brought back news that you really are in Liaodong!”

At this point, Wang Wenzhou looked at Liu Rushi with teary eyes and asked, "Rushi, Rushi, I might die here today. Can you tell me why you went to Liaodong?"

Liu Rushi was suddenly deeply moved. She had figured out why her enemy had done this. Her enemy believed that the assassin was sent by Zhu Youjian, meaning the assassin was after her. Now, near Shanhaiguan, they were far from Hanshan, and the entire route was Zhu Youjian's territory. If Zhu Youjian was truly determined to kill him, it would be difficult for him to return to Hanshan alive.

Even as his enemy faced certain death, he was concerned for her safety and insisted that she escape first. Putting aside her past grievances with Wang Wenzhou, how could Liu Rushi not be moved by his actions?

Liu Rushi blushed instantly and said in a sweet voice, "It's all because of you!"

"Pfft..." Wang Wenzhou was completely dumbfounded, and said with a wry smile, "Ruru, Ruru, stop messing around! Just tell me the truth!"

Liu Rushi thought for a moment, then said sadly, "Back then, in a fit of anger, I killed Zhang Xiaohua. I didn't know where I could go; I just wanted to leave that place of sorrow. But along the way, I was constantly being chased!"

"Damn it!" Wang Wenzhou cursed. "After I woke up and learned that you had left, I went to Zhang Chengze to argue with him, but he said that he couldn't do anything. The Duke of Ying's mansion doesn't belong to him alone. The Duke of Ying's grandson died just like that. If he didn't do something, where would the Duke of Ying's mansion put its face? Moreover, he assured me that although he sent assassins, it was just for show!"

"Hmph!" Liu Rushi snorted coldly, looked at Wang Wenzhou, and rebuked him in a delicate but angry voice: "So you'll just put on a show and send someone to kill me!"

"Huh?" Wang Wenzhou looked bewildered and quickly said, "Ruru, Ruru, you know me! Even if you killed Zhang Xiaohua, or even if you killed my own father, I wouldn't send anyone to kill you!"

"Don't lie to me!" Liu Rushi said irritably, "Don't forget, I worked as a teacher in the labor camp for so long. Although the people you sent weren't my students, I still remember them. They all came from the labor camp and were your most loyal cronies!"

"Really?" Wang Wenzhou had no idea about this. Now he understood why Ru Ru had gone to Liaodong; she was angry with him!

Liu Rushi said irritably, "Would I lie to you now? Besides, I'm not you. When have I ever lied to you?"

"I'm sorry!" Wang Wenzhou hugged Liu Rushi and kissed her.

As Liu Rushi kissed him, she sighed, "What a tragedy! I know I was wrong; I shouldn't have killed Zhang Xiaohua in public. Logically, Zhang Xiaohua was the eldest son of my enemy; anyone in that situation would have chosen Zhang Xiaohua." Later, Liu Rushi came to her senses, but it was too late to undo the damage.

After the kiss, Wang Wenzhou put his hand inside Liu Rushi's clothes, looked at her, and said solemnly, "Rushi, Rushi, I'm a dying man. I really won't lie to you this time. I absolutely didn't send anyone to kill you! It was probably that little bastard Sheng Liang who did it! Lan Lan was dead then, and the only person who could command Lan Lan's subordinates was Sheng Liang."

Liu Rushi nodded gently. This time, she believed Wang Wenzhou's words. After all, a dying man's words are often kind, and Wang Wenzhou's words were flawless and reasonable.

"Husband..." Liu Rushi called softly.

"Ruru, Ruru, I love you!" Wang Wenzhou was moved to tears, and he hugged Liu Rushi and kissed her. It had been so long since he had heard his aunt call him "husband".

"Sigh..." After the kiss, Liu Rushi sighed softly and said sadly, "Husband, why did you choose to let me live? You've never been a mother, so you don't know that a mother would rather die herself than let her child die!"

Liu Ru said this not only to defend herself, but also to apologize to Wang Wenzhou in a roundabout way, since she had actually killed Zhang Xiaohua by throwing her to her death.

"Ruru!" Wang Wenzhou said sadly, "Don't be angry! It's all my fault, I was selfish, I couldn't bear to see you die! I think that after I die, you can still find another man to marry. As for Xiaohua, you can have another one! As long as you can live happily, that is the greatest happiness for me."

"My darling!" Liu Rushi called out sweetly, hugging Wang Wenzhou and kissing him. Honestly, any woman would be incredibly moved to hear that.

After the kiss, Wang Wenzhou said with a bitter smile, "I'm just unlucky! I thought you were dead, and I lost all interest in living, drowning my sorrows in alcohol all day. I finally reunited with you, but damn it, we're facing a dead end again! Ruru, Ruru, you should leave! Zhu Youjian wants to kill me. Even if they catch you, as long as I'm alive, they will definitely not harm you. If I die, perhaps Zhu Youjian will spare your life out of consideration for our past relationship."

"No!" Liu Rushi shook her head and said, "It's not a hopeless situation!"
