Chapter 437
Lin Shuran couldn't tell whether what Uncle Chu said was true or not, after all, this was the country of Xia, but hearing what he said, Xu Junze didn't say anything, but it never occurred to him that Xiao Yanyan would refuse.

Xiao Yanyan was very grateful to Xu Junze and Lin Shuran for saving their fifth sibling, but she still decided not to bother them anymore, because those involved with the Xiao family would definitely cause trouble, and if others saved them, they could not harm others.

In the end, she decided to take her younger siblings to hide from the officers and soldiers while looking for the whereabouts of her family members. Seeing that Xiao Yanyan insisted on this, Xu Junze and Lin Shuran did not force her. This girl is very courageous and smart. Trust Lin Shuran and the others.

However, Xu Junze and Lin Shuran still gave their siblings a sum of money, and secretly sent people to escort their fifth siblings, until they hid in a safe place, and then they came back to report to Xu Junze.

For the rest of the journey, because Xia Guo officers and soldiers were chasing the Xiao family’s rebels everywhere, the progress was relatively slow. Fortunately, Lin Shuran had been taking the pills specially made for her by the doctor Mei, and her health was still good. It continued to deteriorate, but not so quickly.

Every time they arrived in a capital city, they had to go through strict investigations, but the journey was smooth, and they were not too embarrassed. Finally, in the blooming March, they traveled day and night to a town a hundred miles away from the capital of Xia Kingdom.

"We will stay in Yicheng temporarily!" Yicheng is the town where Lin Shuran and the others just arrived. Xu Junze brought her into a small manor with beautiful mountains and rivers outside the city, and said these words to her .

Lin Shuran's eyes were still blurred, and along the way, she just listened to Hong Gu telling her about the customs and customs after entering Xia Kingdom. Xu Junze had arranged everything properly, and she just had to wait with peace of mind.

Afterwards, Xu Junze took Uncle Chu out, while Honggu, Lingqin, and Feiyue stayed behind to take care of Lin Shuran, now only a hundred miles away from the capital of Xia, Lin Shuran asked Honggu, "Honggu, fifth uncle and Xingsuzi Brother, are they in the capital of Xia Kingdom or elsewhere? Haven’t Su Ge been found yet?”

Lin Shuran asked these two questions all the way to the capital of Xia Kingdom. Honggu never gave her a definite answer, but today she told Lin Shuran that Fifth Uncle Dongfang Ji and Xing Suzi were not in Baili at this time. She doesn't know exactly where the capital outside the city is, and Su Ge still hasn't disappeared.

Lin Shuran is also very worried about the safety of Uncle Wu and Su Ge. Now Xia Guo is not stable, and the court is also very chaotic. According to Hong Gu, the regent Duan Jie and Xia Guo Emperor Duan Mastiff seem like brothers. Already separated, several sons of Duan Mastiff also fought to the death for the position of crown prince. Among them, Duan Yunlun, the third prince who changed his face, became a person with equal power to the regent Duan Jie. Even Duan Mastiff looked at this son with admiration and gave him More real power.

Now Xia Guochaotang has been spreading wild rumors that the third prince Duan Yunlun is about to be crowned prince, and no one is qualified to be his opponent except the regent Duan Jie.

It was also because of the open and secret struggle between the third prince Duan Yunlun and the regent Duan Jie that Qi Guogong Xiao Jingde was brought in and became a victim of their struggle. I heard that Xiao Jingde was framed for rebellion because he was unwilling to stand up. On the side of the third prince, Duan Yunlun, he was also unwilling to have too much relationship with the regent Duan Jie, and both of them were worried that he would submit to the other side, so they simply got rid of him first.

"Ma'am, don't worry about other things, just stay here with peace of mind, and when the general finds out the exact location of the medicine spring, the servant will take you there!" Aunt Hong wondered if Lin Shuran was worried about the capital of Xia Guo. Chaos, they are not good at handling things, so they comforted her.

Lin Shuran nodded obediently. Since she has followed Xu Junze to Xia Guo, she will try her best to cooperate with them, and only hope that things will go smoothly. I don't know whether the medicine spring will be useful to my body, but it's here. There is always one thing on my mind.

When the evening was approaching, Xu Junze hadn't come back after going out, Lin Shuran was not in a hurry, and waited for him with peace of mind.

Lin Shuran, who was taking a nap, heard the commotion outside, and soon someone came to inform Honggu that a group of officers and soldiers had come outside and would temporarily stay in this manor tonight. The female relatives of the small manor have temporarily stabilized them.

Lin Shuran was worried that these officers and soldiers were not kind, but fortunately, the manager of the manor came soon. This person was Xu Junze who had been stationed in Xiaguo. He had been living here under the pretense of managing the manor for his master. , This team of officers and soldiers came for the Luohan Temple not far away. They said that some rebels had escaped in, and they wanted to lead troops in to search. Now the monks of the Luohan Temple guarded the gate and refused to let them in. The two sides have come to a stalemate.

The general who led the army was an unwilling master. Seeing that there was such a manor not far from the Arhat Temple, he planned to borrow it for one night. "Borrowing" was actually no different from forcible expropriation.

"Ma'am, if we don't let them stay here tonight, I'm afraid these Xia people will frame them in the name of 'rebels'. Since the incident of Duke Qi, there have been many such things every day. In order to avoid trouble, my little one Ask them to stay in the front yard on their own initiative." The steward told Lin Shuran the truth.

These Xia people are unreasonable. If they don't like it, even if you have nothing to do with the rebels, they will charge you as a "rebel" to satisfy their selfish desires.

Lin Shuran praised the steward for doing the right thing. One more thing is worse than one less thing. She knows that now Xia Guo is catching rebels everywhere, and the people are panicked. The officers and soldiers are taking the opportunity to burn, kill and loot. ?
Xu Junze came back in the middle of the night. Someone had informed him about the temporary residence of Xia Guo's officers and soldiers in the manor. When he returned to the room, his movements were very gentle, but he still woke up Lin Shuran who was already asleep.

"I'm sorry for waking you up!" Xu Junze said to Lin Shuran apologetically, and then sat on the side of the bed, and Lin Shuran also slowly half sat up at this time, smiling and shaking her head in his direction.

Now in the crisis-ridden country of Xia, how could she really fall asleep with peace of mind? Even knowing Xu Junze's martial arts and abilities, she still couldn't help but worry. Every step they took here was extremely dangerous. Mastiff, Duan Yunlun, and Duan Jie knew that their group came to Xia Kingdom, so the danger would be hard to guard against.

"How is your business going?" Lin Shuran asked slowly while holding Xu Junze's hand.
