Chapter 241 Do You Dislike Me?

Smoke and dust billowed, fighting was deafening, and when all the noise stopped completely, it was already a silent night.

Li Yaoguang did not disturb Shen Yue, nor did he rush to look for his uncle who was fighting bloody battles against the enemy. Instead, he continued to work with the people in the rear, doing the logistics work in an orderly manner, until the war was over and his uncle came, and the father and son were reunited. They settled down in Changyue Inn diagonally opposite Du Niangzi Tea House without disturbing anyone, and everything was fine. When he saw Shen Yue again, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

Accompanied by Ying Yi, Li Yaoguang met Shen Yue, whose eyes were red from staying up all night, in a temporarily requisitioned villa in the city.

Inside the house, the man who had not had time to take off his bloody armor, saw Li Yaoguang walking towards him unharmed, and the tense string that had been stretched thin finally relaxed.

Shen Yue came forward from behind the desk and said with a gentle smile: "Yaoguang, this battle is all thanks to your help. When I submit a memorial to ask for credit later, I will tell His Majesty about your contribution."

Li Yaoguang got anxious when he heard this, "No, this is totally unnecessary."

Seeing Shen Yue puzzled, Li Yaoguang hurried to explain.

"There have been many emperors who have sought immortality and elixirs throughout history. You know what the current emperor wants. How will you explain my contribution to him? Moreover, Fengzhou is trapped. How can the food be transported? Can I do it alone? You must cover up for me in the memorial. If so, it will be a lie to deceive the emperor. If it is the truth, it will definitely involve something unusual that I don't want outsiders to know. Shen Yue, this is not what I want."

Shen Yue remained silent upon hearing this. Then he looked at Li Yaoguang's determined expression and sighed, "I understand. Then I won't mention you. But your achievements this time..."

Li Yaoguang chuckled, "Oh, that's nothing, aren't we friends? As a friend, I'm helping you, Shen Yue, not someone else."

When Shen Yue heard this, his eyes suddenly widened with surprise, and the corners of his lips even curled up unconsciously. He nodded heavily, "Yes, we are friends! I will remember your friendship."

Friendship? What friendship?
Li Yaoguang was confused, thinking that she just said that casually because she didn't want to cause trouble, but he responded like that, making it seem like there was something real between him and him. Facing the young man's bright and happy smile, Li Yaoguang stopped thinking and hurriedly changed the subject.

"By the way, Shen Yue, the food I brought has been used up after a few days of consumption by so many people in the city." Even the most of the food that he had released later because he didn't want everyone to suffer had already been consumed.

Now there are only a few thousand kilograms left in his space, which seems to be a lot. But if he really releases more, I am afraid it will not be enough for the people in the city to produce in a day. What is most urgent right now is food.

"We agreed on five days, but you came in three. Now with the troops you brought, I'm afraid the food in the city will not be enough. When will the food from Sishui arrive? Do you need me to make another trip?"

Hearing that the person in front of him cared about him again, Shen Yue felt warm in his heart.

"There is no need to worry about this. Although the grain from Sishui has not arrived yet, it does not affect the overall situation. On the way here, I met a Henan merchant who offered a lot of grain and grass. I sent people to investigate and found that it was true. Now we have taken out all the grain storage points near Fengzhou, and there is no shortage of grain and grass in the city."

"Oh, that makes me feel relieved. Okay, after the war, everything will be busy. I won't disturb you and will go back first."

Seeing Li Yaoguang was about to leave, Shen Yue became anxious, "Where are you going back to?"

Li Yaoguang: "Of course I'll go back to the inn where I'm staying. My uncle is still waiting there."

"Inn? There are many people in the inn, and they are always gossipy. Yaoguang, you and Brother Cheng should move to this villa. This is where I stay, and it is safer."

"Uh...then let's not do it. It's inconvenient."

"Why is it inconvenient? We are not strangers!"

Shen Yue was anxious and tried to stop them, but Li Yaoguang really didn't want to come. It was not as comfortable to live here as outside, and his uncle's duties as a grain delivery officer had been fulfilled now. Once everything in Fengzhou City was sorted out, and the grain from Sishui arrived, and he got Shen Yue's handwritten reply and a report on the two battles, his uncle would return south with the grain transport team. What villa would he live in? He wouldn't live there!
Li Yaoguang thought so and said so to Shen Yue.

"We will return when the grain transport team arrives. We should not delay your official duties any longer. There is still a long way to go and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Li Yaoguang said tactfully, but the corners of the lips of the man in front of him slowly fell, and he narrowed his eyes and leaned forward, staring at Li Yaoguang, his cold breath sprayed on his head, and he uttered something shocking. "Li Yaoguang, do you dislike me? That's why you keep avoiding me?"

What did you say? Li Yaoguang was stunned on the spot.

"Oh, oh, oh, how could that be! Haha, my uncle is still resting in the inn, and I have some things over there, it's really inconvenient."

"real?"

"hehe."

"Report! General, there is urgent military information at the front line."

Li Yaoguang didn't know what to say for a moment when Shen Yue was staring at her. Just as she was racking her brains to think about how to get away, suddenly there was an emergency report from outside.

Shen Yue frowned unhappily, stood up and stepped back to let the person in front of him go. He looked at Li Yaoguang with a complicated expression and pinched his brows. He said, "Yaoguang, be obedient. I'll let Yingyi accompany you back to clean up later." Then he let Li Yao go without giving her a chance to speak, and said loudly, "Come in."

As the study door opened, the anxious-looking messenger outside hurried in. Li Yaoguang hurriedly dodged and left this stuffy environment.

Taking advantage of the fact that Shen Yue was too busy to take care of her, she ran out of the villa, still wondering why Shen Yue suddenly became abnormal. However, she did not notice that the atmosphere in the villa became unusually tense as soon as she left, and this abnormality was spreading at a very fast speed.

Li Yaoguang, unaware of all this, was walking leisurely on the deserted street. When he was two blocks away from the inn where he was staying, suddenly, a familiar thunderclap sounded above the north city gate, followed by the west gate, and then the southeast gates.

The city had just survived a great war, and the people who were busy collecting their belongings and regrouping suddenly became panicked.

"what happened?"

"Oh my god, could it be that Hu Gouzi has come back to kill us again?"

"Damn it! How dare they do that! Our general is in the city!"

"Come on, brothers, grab your weapons and let's go up to the tower and take a look."

The people who were so excited about fighting were no longer afraid of the barbarian dogs. With their blood boiling, they picked up their weapons and ran to the nearest city wall in groups of three or five.

Listening to the drumbeats, watching the flow of people, and thinking of the urgent report he had just heard from Shen Yue, Li Yaoguang was tempted to go and take a look, and was about to head for the nearest South Gate. At this moment, a familiar figure flashed by at the street corner in front of him.

Li Yaoguang was stunned and wondered where his uncle was going.

After fighting for several days and nights, the old man must be exhausted. When I went out earlier, he was so soundly asleep that he couldn't get up. Why didn't he stay in the inn to have a good rest? Why did he suddenly appear here?

Could it be because of the sudden thunder?
But that doesn't make sense. The thunder had just sounded, and my uncle didn't look like he had hurried over after hearing the noise. Besides, the inn was still far away from here!
What about De Sheng and Black Whirlwind?
I asked them to look after my uncle before I left, but now they are not following me?

For a moment, Li Yaoguang's mind was filled with thousands of thoughts, and he subconsciously raised his foot and followed.

The more he followed, the more confused Li Yaoguang became.

What's wrong with my uncle today? His legs and feet are so agile and he runs so fast that I can't catch up with him for a while.
