The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1711: Chapter 1711: Found the Armory

Now that there are enough people, the aftermath doesn’t require my involvement.

Thus, Shu Yu returned to the room where Meng Pei was. As soon as she entered, the first thing she saw was Jiang Kuanyu lying on the ground, eyes rolled back.

She paused, ”Dead?”

Meng Pei nodded. He was sitting next to Uncle Meng, and his expression seemed somewhat complicated, his spirit not in the best of shape.

Shu Yu was quite surprised. What had Uncle Meng managed to extract from Jiang Kuanyu, to look like this?

She opened her mouth but ultimately didn’t ask more. Instead, she handed something to Meng Pei, ”Uncle Meng, I just went to the kitchen and got some food and drink. You haven’t eaten well for the past two days, have something to fill your stomach first.”

It was all soft pastries, easy to digest and quite appetizing.

Meng Pei’s stomach was numb with hunger, driven only by the spirit to rescue Uncle Meng.

Seeing the pastries in Shu Yu’s hand, he touched his stomach and finally smiled, ”You’re still the thoughtful one.”

A nearby mountain bandit, upon seeing this, swallowed hard. He hadn’t eaten anything the whole day either.

Shu Yu had brought quite a lot. Seeing his state, she twitched her mouth and gave him a portion.

The mountain bandit’s eyes lit up, and he began gobbling it down hungrily.

Only then did Shu Yu crouch down and reached out to feel Uncle Meng’s forehead, finding the temperature had returned to normal.

”Uncle seems much better now.”

”The medicine from Elder Zhao is always the best; it’s strong but fast-acting.” Meng Pei swallowed a piece of pastry, ”And outside, how are things? I heard quite a commotion just now.”

Shu Yu briefly explained, and Meng Pei laughed after hearing it, ”It seems we might be able to return soon.”

Shu Yu was about to respond when the mountain bandit on the side choked on the pastry and started coughing violently, clutching his throat.

Shu Yu, ”...” Seemed startled.

The mountain bandit, after much difficulty, finished coughing. His face was still flushed, and he nervously asked, ”Uh, Monarch Lu Xiang, I, I’m not with them. Make sure to clarify to others later that I’m on your side.”

”Look at you, all scared of dying.” Meng Pei was quite disdainful.

The mountain bandit was almost in tears, was he not? When Meng Pei interrogated Jiang Kuanyu earlier, others weren’t present, but he witnessed it all.

How handsome Young Master Jiang usually was, yet after consuming that medicine, his face was contorted as if being flayed alive. And that wasn’t all; once Head Escort Meng finished his questioning, he went on to torment Jiang Kuanyu within an inch of his life, all to avenge his brother.

At that moment, the mountain bandit wished dearly he had gone with Shu Yu and He Er to the cells to release people. Staying here felt like his heart might burst.

These people were truly ruthless.

While the mountain bandit was growing increasingly anxious about his bleak prospects, there was a knock at the door.

He jolted in his place and hurried to the door to ask, ”Who, who is it?”

”Meng Yunzheng.”

The mountain bandit breathed a sigh of relief and let the person in.

As soon as Meng Yunzheng entered, he immediately went to check on Uncle Meng. Knowing Uncle Meng was alright, he felt relieved and said to Shu Yu and Meng Pei, ”We’ve found everyone, but we’re not sure if it’s all of them yet, so I need him to identify.”

He gestured at the mountain bandit.

The mountain bandit swallowed hard, realizing his chance to make a contribution had come. Just as he was about to pledge himself, Meng Yunzheng didn’t even look at him and continued speaking to Shu Yu, ”We also found a weapon cache.”
