"Wanwan, do you not believe what I said?"
Shen Qingwan looked at Fu Yuheng and didn't say anything explicitly, but Fu Yuheng could still tell what she was thinking.
“Sometimes you can’t force things, but if you don’t work hard and don’t seize opportunities, you often won’t succeed. Everyone’s success is different, and only a few can make it to the end.”
Qingwan didn't want to argue with him too much on this topic, so she ended the conversation unilaterally.
After a good sleep, the next day was finally a sunny day.
Shen Qingwan stood up, stretched, and went out to wash up.
After having breakfast, I sat by the fire and carefully put it out before returning to the cave and sitting down.
Unable to go out, it has become normal for them to idle away. Just when they were planning to kill time as usual, Fu Yuheng suddenly laughed.
"why are you laughing?"
Fu Yuheng held the water bag in his hand and motioned for Shen Qingwan to look at it.
"What's so strange about this thing? Isn't it just a water bag?"
Fu Yuheng pointed outside helplessly.
"Shuiyuan, how could I forget about this?"
Qingwan thought for a long time before she understood that what Fu Yuheng was talking about was related to the country of Aokong.
"You mean, in order to find us, they will focus on observing the movements near the water source?"
"Yes, this is the only quick way to find us. As long as Huo Langqi is not stupid, he will not miss such a convenient opportunity.
"Well, should we find a time to go to the water source and investigate so that we can make plans early? I am living an uneasy life, not to mention you, and I don't know when they will come looking for us."
"You are always so impatient. Just wait and see. Maybe you will come today."
I didn't expect that this would become a reality.
Before noon, there was not enough water in the cave, so Fu Yuheng and Shen Qingwan went to the river to fetch water. With what had happened before, Shen Qingwan paid extra attention to the movements around her, which made Fu Yuheng laugh.
"You don't have to be so nervous. This place has just been searched. It's unlikely that someone will continue to investigate. They won't have the time to do such a serious job for the queen."
But Shen Qingwan disagrees with this logic.
"The queen is very persistent. Even if her subordinates no longer do things for her, as long as she persists, there will be many people who will desperately try to prove themselves in order to please their superiors and please her. If something like that happens and Your Majesty has such an attitude, our situation will be very passive."
What Shen Qingwan said was the truth. She was afraid that Fu Yuheng would be discovered by the Queen's people and that something would happen to him.
Fu Yuheng was very touched.
As the two were talking, there was indeed movement coming from the bushes behind them. It was the sound of people's footsteps and the sound of bushes being pushed aside, rustling, kicking and stomping, and it seemed like someone was leading a horse. Qingwan could vaguely hear the clear sound of a horse snorting.
Fu Yuheng gestured to her, telling her not to panic.
"What you've been waiting for is finally here. Don't worry. Once you bring the person back, we'll know whether it's an enemy or a friend. Now, don't move."
The person behind the bushes saw someone and immediately reported it to Huo Langqi with great surprise.
"Master, we found someone here."
Huo Langqi had stayed in this deep forest for several days and was already feeling bored and tired. However, his mind was occupied by the thought of getting rid of Ouduo, so he had to drag his tired body to continue searching.
The moment he saw the two men, he first used his eyes to stop their arrogance, and then respectfully asked: "Excuse me, are you the emperor of Daliang?"
There was no hostility in this question, as if it was asked just to find someone to collect it. If Shen Qingwan had not had Fu Yuheng's reminder in advance, she might have regarded them as masters invited by Queen Hua Chong from the martial arts world.
She didn't say anything.
It was Fu Yuheng who spoke instead.
"Excuse me, sir, what are you doing in this remote forest at this time? My husband and I are passing by here to get some water. If you don't have anything to do, please don't disturb us."
Huo Langqi felt more and more that these two people were related to the royal family of Daliang. He did not try to probe and asked directly: "Are you the emperor of Daliang? We are from Aokong. We are looking for you to help you return to the court. My people came to Daliang and joined forces with your queen to try to usurp my throne. If you are really the emperor of Daliang, I hope you can give me a response."
Fu Yuheng stood up and turned to look at Huo Langqi with Shen Qingwan.
"Emperor of Okong, nice to meet you. I am Fu Yuheng."
This simple answer made Huo Langqi overjoyed.
"Great! I finally found you. We've been wandering in the woods for the past few days. Have you been here the whole time? Is there a place where we can talk?"
Fu Yuheng led the people to the cave where they lived.
"General Shen, General Chang, Ye Feng, Lian Yun, let me introduce you. This is the emperor of Okong, Huo Langqi, our next partner."
Huo Langqi smiled and looked at the several people sitting or standing in the cave, and secretly commented on Fu Yuheng's current situation in his heart. Not surprisingly, he found that they were really shabby.
"Emperor of Daliang, I know you are in a difficult situation right now. I just want to join hands with you to eradicate the traitors in our country. Wouldn't it be better if we could speak frankly and have fewer conspiracies?"
Shen Qingwan likes Huo Langqi's personality. He looks generous, likes making friends, and is quite upright. If she can really cooperate with such a person, the future will be a very bright future.
"Huo Langqi, as long as you are sincere enough, we will interact with you with sincerity, but if you lie, the people of Daliang will not be polite to you."
Shen Qingwan always felt that ugly things had to be said in advance, otherwise, if things really got serious, it would be hard to say what would happen.
Huo Langqi smiled proudly and said in stiff Mandarin: "This lady is right. I appreciate it. Don't worry, Huo Langqi will keep his promise in the coming days and be a person who is accountable to himself and his partners."
"I hope so."
Fu Yuheng said calmly.
"Then let's talk about how to do it next."
"How many troops do you have?"
Fu Yuheng is very concerned about this issue.
Huo Langqi thought for a moment and said bluntly: "Your Daliang's defense is too strict. I didn't bring many troops this time, only less than 300 people, and they are scattered in various places on standby, but it is enough to deal with Ou Duo."
The implication is that he is not interested in the internal strife in Daliang State and will not help them deal with that part of the trouble.
Fu Yuheng smiled: "The people of Okong really let me see their heroic side."
