Chapter 197 Trouble Returns

On their second day in Guangxin Prefecture, Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi, along with other young people, went to climb the famous Wufu Mountain to see the scenery.

However, they never expected that while hiking, they would witness the love and hate between a couple.

On the left side of Wufu Mountain, in a narrow passage 50 meters wide, 100 meters long, and about 60 meters high, stood a man and a woman.

A girl dressed in light purple with a ponytail, her eyes brimming with tears, pointed a sword at the man opposite her, "Rao Zhenghao, do you live up to your name? Do you live up to the ancestors of your Rao family?"

"Hasn't the Emperor treated your family well? Why did you betray the Qing Dynasty?"

"Isn't your Rao family's ancestral motto to be loyal to the emperor and love the country? What you're doing now, can you call it loyalty to the emperor and love the country?"

"Yuan Shuang, I'm sorry!"

Kang Yuanshuang looked at him in disbelief, "Is that all you have to say? What is the reason that has made you like this?"

"Yuan Shuang, stop asking!" The man standing opposite Kang Yuan Shuang seemed to be in great pain and was unwilling to answer her questions anymore!

"Rao Zhenghao, did you ever love me?"

This soul-searching question almost made him lose his composure. He wanted to tell her everything, but the words caught in his throat as he remembered what that person had said: "You need to think this through. Everything you're going to do is something your beloved despises. If you're discovered, you might as well die. Can you bear to drag her down with you?"

"What do you want from me to let her go?"

"It's very simple. As long as you obediently listen to me, your sweetheart can stay alive. But if you dare to make any other moves, believe me, your sweetheart will be dead on the spot!"

Rao Zhenghao swallowed all his bitterness and looked up at Kang Yuanshuang, "Maybe so, but right now, I definitely don't love you anymore, so just leave me alone!"

"If you don't want to implicate your Kang family, then stay away from me, lest you and your entire clan be wiped out!"

"Rao Zhenghao, in your heart, do you think of me, Kang Yuanshuang, and my Kang family as people who are afraid of death?"

"I know you. You must have a reason you can't tell me, but you just won't tell me. Or perhaps, that reason is me, right?"

She wasn't stupid; she could tell that although the man in front of her said those things, his eyes didn't lie. "Your acting is terrible!"

"No matter the reason, you should have nothing to do with me anymore!"

"Go back. I hope this is the last time we see each other!"

After Rao Zhenghao finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave this place that had broken his heart, and leave this woman that he could never let go of!

"Rao Zhenghao, stop right there!" Kang Yuanshuang wasn't going to let him leave. "Explain yourself!"

If he doesn't explain everything clearly today, she doesn't plan to let him go down the mountain!

The two started fighting again. "Stop it!"

Rao Zhenghao didn't want to fight her anymore. He was afraid that he would accidentally hurt her, and even more afraid that he would lose control and actually reveal what had happened!

Yongqi, Xiaoyanzi, and the others who were watching the show were very curious about the background of these two.

Why did their conversation turn to things like treason and collusion with the enemy?

Just then, they noticed that the sword in Kang Yuanshuang's hand had torn Rao Zhenghao's clothes.

Everyone fell silent, "..."

Rao Zhenghao was also a bit flustered, "What are you doing?"

"Of course, it's to prevent you from escaping!" She didn't believe that this person was so shameless that he would dare to run away even if he was naked.

The young master watching the show immediately covered his wife's eyes; the scene was a bit too much for them to see!

Just as Rao Zhenghao was about to be stripped naked by Kang Yuanshuang, Rao Zhenghao's helper arrived. "A grown man like you, having your clothes ripped off by a woman, how can you face people if word gets out?"

"It's none of your business!" Rao Zhenghao picked up Kang Yuanshuang, whom he had helped put down, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Normally, this person wouldn't specifically come looking for him!

"The Emperor's entourage has arrived here; you must treat them well!"

Rao Zhenghao asked, "What do you mean?"

“Dealing with those young noblemen is much better than dealing with the emperor.”

“Those people all believe in the idea of ​​one love for life. Since they value relationships so much, let’s arrange for someone to sabotage their relationships. We can break up as many couples as we can.”

At this moment, they naturally had no idea that their wishful thinking had come to the attention of the person in question.

"But I heard that they all know martial arts. If they didn't want to, how could we have succeeded?"

"Can't they poison them? Even if some of them know medicine, so what? They can't defend against it!"

"You'd better behave, or the beauty in your arms will only have one way out: death!"

"Besides using her to threaten me, what other skills do you have?"

"Any method will do, as long as it works!"

Unbeknownst to them, the beauty in Rao Zhenghao's arms had already heard their conversation.

After they left, Yongqi sighed, "It seems we're going to be busy again this time!"

"Yongqi, tell me, who are these three people?"

Watching them leave, Xia Ziwei said, "Let's go down the mountain and have someone investigate."

Xiao Jian said, "Since their target is us, we'd better not split up for the next few days, lest they seize an opportunity!"

Although they all possess martial arts skills and carry self-defense medicine, it's hard to guarantee that they won't be caught off guard. If something really happens, they will all break down!

After the group descended the mountain and returned to the inn, it was already noon.

Benjamin drew portraits of the two men. "Yongqi, have someone take this with you. It should be of some help."

Little Swallow laughed and said, "Having a painter like us here makes all the difference!"

With clear portraits, we should soon be able to find out who the two people arguing really are.

But who exactly was that masked man who came later?

After the meal, Tianfeng came to report the situation, "Master, the man is Rao Zhenghao, the only son of Admiral Rao Zhongguo, and the woman is Kang Yuanshuang, the eldest daughter of Governor Kang Yuquan. They were childhood sweethearts and grew up together. They were planning to get married a while ago, but something happened before the wedding, so the wedding was canceled!"

Little Swallow asked curiously, "An unexpected event? What unexpected event?"

Before Tianfeng could continue, Xia Ziwei interjected, "I guess the reason for this change is that before the wedding, Kang Yuanshuang found out what Rao Zhenghao was doing, which is why she was unwilling to go through with the marriage!"

Fu Erkang continued, "That Rao Zhenghao was threatened with Kang Yuanshuang's life. It's also possible that, as he said, he's worried that what he's doing now will be discovered. If he marries Kang Yuanshuang, and things are exposed, neither Kang Yuanshuang nor the Kang family will be able to escape!"

Voltaire asked, "So what do we do now?"

Yongqi said, "What we need to know now is the most important thing that person threatened Rao Zhenghao to do."

Xiao Yanzi looked at Yongqi and asked, "I heard Kang Yuanshuang say that Rao Zhenghao betrayed the Qing Dynasty. Is it possible that he possessed something like a defense map?"

Yongqi frowned and said, "This matter is too serious. I need to go to the master to discuss countermeasures!"
