On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Chapter 2004: Dragon Roar Island?

When Su Zhenhai lifted the door curtain, the shadows of the bamboo in the courtyard were sweeping across the window lattice.

He stepped lightly into the inner room, and his eyes immediately fell on the bed - Su Jingzhuo was sleeping soundly, his eyelashes casting light shadows under his eyes, and his cheeks were flushed with a long-lost light pink, no longer as gray as paper as before.

The corners of the bedding were neatly folded, and on the low table was the medicine bowl left by Yan Ruyu. The residue of the medicine had settled at the bottom of the bowl, emitting a faint bitter fragrance.

Su Zhenhai sat down on the edge of the bed and gently touched the back of his son's hand with his fingertips. The temperature was warm, not as cold as in the past few days.

His Adam's apple moved, and the turbid air that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time finally dissipated a little, and a faint but real hope slowly emerged.

Ever since Su Jingzhuo fell ill, he always stayed awake at night. The smell of medicine in the mansion was so strong that it could not be dispelled. The young man who used to ride on his horse, whipping it and laughing, saying that he would share his worries, gradually became so thin that he was unrecognizable.

Every time he stepped into this yard, he felt like a huge rock was pressing on his chest, and even breathing was painful.

"Zhuo'er," he took his son's hand, the calluses on his palm rubbing against the boy's thin wrist, and his voice was very soft, "Do you remember when you were five years old and insisted on going to the hunting ground with me?

You were riding your pony chasing a rabbit, and you fell into a grass nest, crying and calling for your daddy, but then you turned around and said it didn’t hurt, and even stuffed the wild fruits in your pocket into my pocket…”

The conversation started, but my subsequent memories were a bit fragmented.

He racked his brains and thought, and there were only a few things he could say.

When his son was young, he was always busy with city defense affairs or on business trips. By the time he wanted to spend more time with him, Su Jingzhuo had grown into a taciturn teenager, and the father and son had little to talk about.

Su Zhenhai sighed, rubbed the lines on the back of his son's hand with his fingertips, and his eyes were a little sore.

At this moment, a light "click" sound suddenly came from outside the courtyard wall, like the sound of a dead branch being stepped on.

He immediately controlled his emotions and looked stern.

There was an assassination attempt in the mansion recently. Although the perpetrators were not caught, he was still worried for a while.

The sound was strange, could it be that those people came back again?

He walked to the door with light footsteps and was about to push the wooden door open when the crisp sound of weapons clashing and the sound of clothes rustling in the wind could be heard in the yard.

Su Zhenhai quickened his pace and took a step forward, only to see two black figures fighting in the moonlight.

One of them held a long sword, his sword moves were sharp, and every slash and stab was fierce; the other one was bare-handed, but his body was extremely flexible. He could always accurately avoid the sword when dodging, and occasionally raised his hand to block, and the palm wind could even make the sword-wielding man stagger.

In just a moment, the unarmed man seized the opportunity and landed his right fist firmly on the chest of the sword-wielding man.

The sword-wielding man groaned, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. He staggered back a few steps, glanced at the unarmed man, turned around, climbed over the courtyard wall and escaped.

The unarmed man in black did not chase after him. He stood up straight, raised his hand to straighten his clothes, and turned his gaze to Su Zhenhai who was standing on the steps.

"Su City Envoy." The man in black stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said in a calm voice, "The prince has assigned me to guard the eldest young master's courtyard. With me here, the assassins won't be able to harm the eldest young master at all. You can rest assured."

Su Zhenhai finally came to his senses and suddenly realized.

He didn't know that Huo Changhe had even considered this aspect. The anxiety and tension he had felt for the past few days suddenly relaxed at this moment.

He stepped forward and bowed to the man in black: "Thank you very much, Your Excellency, and even more so, thank you, Your Highness. I will remember this kindness in my heart."

"It's my job." The man in black said without any fluctuation in his tone, "I still need to be on duty here, so I won't disturb Envoy Su."

After saying that, he retreated into the shadows in the corner of the yard, and his figure gradually disappeared, as if he had never appeared.

The yard returned to its previous quietness, with only the shadows of bamboo swaying gently on the ground.

Su Zhenhai looked at his son's window frame, breathed a sigh of relief, turned back to the inner room, stood by the bed, and felt much more at ease.

At this time, on the river, a large ship was breaking through the waves and moving forward.

Huo Changhe leaned against the side of the boat, his fingertips casually sliding across the smooth hull.

This boat was picked out from the shipyard's large yard. The wood is thick and the workmanship is fine. Although the carvings on the side of the boat are not ostentatious, they reveal a calm texture. It is much better than the small boats I have seen in the shop before. It is simply not in the same league.

Yan Ruyu came over with a map, unfolded it, and handed it to Huo Changhe. She pointed at a mark on the map and said, "Your Highness, Longyin Island is sixty miles away. At the current speed of the ship, we will arrive in about two hours."

Huo Changhe lowered his eyes and glanced at the three words "Longyin Island" on the map, with a sarcastic arc on the corner of his mouth.

He averted his gaze, gazing out at the misty river in the distance. His tone was filled with undisguised contempt, "Dragon Roar Island? What an arrogant tone! True dragons are hard to find in this world. How dare a place haunted by random people call itself 'Dragon Roar'?"

Yan Ruyu chuckled and said, "Your Highness is right. Let's take a look tonight to see what the hell is on it."

The river wind lifted Huo Changhe's robe, making a rustling sound. He looked at the increasingly thick fog in front of him, and his eyes gradually became gloomy.

At this time, on Longyin Island, in the small firewood room.

The silver ingot is sleeping soundly.

Mu Wan sat aside, stunned, wondering how he could still sleep in such a situation.

Look at the night view from the broken window, it is dark and without any light, as if it will never be bright.

She lowered her head and was about to say something, but before she knew it, whether it was because of the silver ingot or she was really sleepy, she leaned against the broken pillar and fell asleep.

Everything was quiet.

I don’t know how long it took, but something seemed to fly past the window. It wasn’t an assassin, but a bird.

Mu Wan woke up with a start and quickly looked out the window. There was nothing unusual and no one was coming to kill them. The windowsill outside was covered with fine dust, and there seemed to be traces of something passing by.

However, it was too dark and the angle was limited, so I couldn't see clearly.

Never mind, it’s not a big deal.

Mu Wan sat back and looked at Yinding. Yinding had turned over, with his back facing her, and was still sleeping.

"He can sleep so well," Mu Wan murmured softly and took a nap. She could never fall asleep again.

I was sitting there bored when I suddenly heard a noise coming from outside.

This time it was not small or slight, but clear and real.

She immediately stood up and looked out of the broken window.

This was a shocking sight. There was a huge fire and a group of people, at least 20 or 30 of them, holding torches and coming towards this side.

The next moment, Zhou Lie kicked the gate open and rushed in with his men.

Mu Wan was shocked and quickly woke up Yin Ding.

"Brother Yin, Brother Yin! It's bad, Zhou Lie is here with his men."

Yinding was drowsy and stretched before opening his eyes.

"Who?"

"Zhou Lie!" Mu Wan panicked, "Maybe he's here to kill us."
