Chapter 169 Not Enough

Although he was very worried, Peng Yucheng was finally relieved after a peaceful night.

As the sky began to lighten with the first light of dawn, Peng Yucheng stood up, stretched his limbs, and finally managed to exhale a breath of fresh air.

Peng Yucheng looked again in the direction where the accident had occurred last night, but still couldn't see anything, so he had to look away.

Peng Yucheng learned the details of what happened over there from his eldest son, Peng Yiyun, last night, and was shocked once again.

He hadn't expected that such a dangerous situation would arise around them without his knowledge, almost affecting their side.

That was General Ji Yuzhang from the Zhenwei General's Mansion, such an important figure in the Great Liang Kingdom, related to the war on the front lines, yet he was surrounded and killed by so many black-clad guards in this place, and almost got ambushed and lost his life.

Peng Yucheng had some understanding of Ji Yuzhang, the Zhenwei General's Mansion, and the Zhenwei Army, and knew that the current battle on the front lines was at a stalemate and the situation was not optimistic.

This involves many aspects, but Zhenwei Army is indeed in great danger.

This time, Ji Yuzhang was carrying an important mission, but he was surrounded and killed by so many black-clad guards who wanted to kill him so that he could not complete his mission.

Peng Yucheng could already guess the purpose behind this, and he felt utterly contemptuous of those who, at such a critical juncture, still disregarded the crisis facing Daliang and remained obsessed with their own power struggles.

Furthermore, based on Peng Yucheng's own understanding, he was already able to guess who and what forces were manipulating everything behind the scenes.

It was because of this that Peng Yucheng knew their situation last night was not good.

If those people happen to get to their side during the fight and witness the actions of the black-clad guards, and see Ji Yuzhang die in this place, then those black-clad guards will certainly not let them go.

Fortunately, Miss Lü Xinyan was capable enough to resolve these issues, causing trouble for the black-clad guards and saving General Ji Yuzhang's life. She then handed over the black-clad guards to Ji Yuzhang to deal with.

Presumably, Ji Yuzhang will be able to investigate the matter thoroughly, find useful evidence, and arrange subsequent tasks.

These crises were easily resolved by Miss Lü Xinyan.

Even though he was the one responsible for protecting everyone's safety and was diligently on guard, he failed to notice that danger was approaching them, almost putting everyone in danger together.

This time, it was thanks to Miss Lü Xinyan's skill and resourcefulness that these crises were resolved.

Despite the great distance, Miss Lü Xinyan was able to discover the problem and danger that occurred there immediately and resolve it in time, preventing the danger from spreading to this side.

During this process, the young lady did not even let the Lu family find out, so as not to disturb them and allow everyone else to rest in peace, unaware of what exactly happened last night.

Peng Yucheng admitted that he was far from being able to achieve that level and could not compare with the young lady Lü Xinyan.

There are still far too many things that Lü Xinyan is capable of doing that he cannot do.

Even in the face of such a sudden danger, he didn't notice the problem, as Miss Lü Xinyan had already eliminated the danger.

The more Peng Yucheng thought about these things, the more ashamed he felt. He felt guilty for his own lack of ability and inability to better help the young lady.

In addition, Lü Xinyan's high regard for and test of his eldest son, Peng Yiyun, made Peng Yucheng even more excited.

Since handing over the indenture to Lü Xinyan and receiving the antidote and other medicines from her to detoxify his body and treat his chronic illness, Peng Yucheng has never regretted his decision. He has accepted that his family has been sold into slavery and become servants of the Lü family, and he has no regrets.

Being able to follow Miss Lü Xinyan ensured their safety and allowed them to broaden their horizons and gain knowledge, which was no easy feat.

Peng Yucheng was especially grateful to Lü Xinyan for saving his family's lives, protecting their home, treating various illnesses, and helping them improve.

Of course, this experience served as another reminder to Peng Yucheng that he needed to do more and better ensure everyone's safety, and could not be careless.

Even though what he can do is still relatively limited, he needs to continue to find ways to improve his abilities so that he can better help the young lady, protect everyone's safety, and prevent such problems from happening again.

This time, Peng Yiyun went with Lü Xinyan to handle matters. What she saw and heard along the way shocked her greatly, and Peng Yucheng, who heard Peng Yiyun recount everything, was equally shocked.

He even felt that the reason they were so safe during their guard duty and that no unexpected dangers occurred was because Miss Lü Xinyan was secretly helping them avoid and resolve various dangers, making their journey very safe.

If she could perceive sudden situations occurring at such a great distance and be aware of those dangers, then why would Miss Lü Xinyan have them change routes during the daytime while they were traveling? This wasn't just a random act; it was all to help them avoid various dangers!

The more Peng Yucheng thought about these things, the more shocked and relieved he became.

However, the more capable Miss Lü Xinyan became, the more at ease he could feel.

At the very least, he only needs to do his best to do what he is supposed to do and protect everyone's safety. That should be enough, and it is his duty.

If any unexpected accident or danger occurs, the young lady will remind him even if he is unaware of it, and may even take direct action to resolve the situation.

This situation made Peng Yucheng feel that with Miss around, everyone would have better security, and he no longer needed to worry so much.

He can rest assured as long as everyone is doing well.

Of course, this incident also made Peng Yucheng realize that his abilities were not enough to completely solve the various safety hazards for Miss Lü Xinyan, and he needed to continue to improve his strength.
