The transmigrated wife is crazy and ruthless.

Chapter 89 Lu Yuan's Long Cry Descends to Yangzhou

Under the cover of Scarface, Lu Yuanchangming followed the squad and left the military camp along the pre-selected concealed route.

They proceeded cautiously, avoiding all possible patrols, and finally reached the designated safe location.

Inside the military camp, Zhao Wanqing had already lay down to rest.

Outside the tent, red decorations and auspicious characters were displayed, and red candles and lanterns hung high, creating the atmosphere of a military wedding.

She thought about how she was about to wear a wedding dress and marry the man she loved, and she couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

Although she had some doubts, she did not notice anything unusual.

The next morning, when she woke up and went to Lu Yuanchangming's tent, she found that a substitute soldier had taken her place.

She was immediately panicked and hurriedly called her maid to ask what was wrong.

The maid told her, "Last night the general suddenly received urgent military orders and had to leave immediately. He left this letter for you."

Zhao Wanqing took the letter, opened it, and read:

Miss Zhao:

Due to an unexpected turn of events at the front, I must rush there overnight to handle the situation. This matter is of great importance, and I hope you will understand. It could take anywhere from eight to ten years, or even a lifetime. Please do not wait for me any longer, or hold onto any concerns, lest you waste your youth.

Written by Li

"Ah, what?" Zhao Wanqing screamed angrily after reading the letter, immediately tore it to shreds, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it away.

Small pieces of paper flew everywhere, carried by the wind along with her tears. She knew he would never come back.

Zhao Wanqing inquired everywhere about General Li's real name.

However, the military camp had strict discipline, and military secrets could not be revealed at will. The soldiers in the camp only knew that their general's surname was Li.

So Zhao Wanqing was left with only empty thoughts.

She knew that when the person she loved did this, it was a clear sign that he didn't want her anymore. It would take at least ten or eight years, or even a lifetime, to make her give up on him.

She was filled with hatred, for all her passionate love had come to nothing.

She wanted to become a nun, but her worldly ties remained. In a state of despair and pain, she came to the Valley of Empty Love and became its top courtesan.

Meanwhile, Lu Yuanchangming continued to command the army from a safe location, secretly investigating Zhao Wanqing's background.

He knew full well that this "elopement" was only a temporary measure, and the real battle was yet to come.

But he believed that as long as he was cautious and resourceful enough, he would be able to uncover the truth and protect his army.

In a secluded mountain forest far from the military camp, he finally found a moment of peace.

He sat on a large rock, gazing at the distant, undulating mountain range, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

He knew he had to confess everything to his father and explain why he had taken such action.

As night fell, he slowly unfolded a piece of paper, picked up his pen, and wrote down his thoughts.

Dear Father:

Your son bows respectfully. I was framed by Miss Zhao and discovered that she harbors many unspeakable secrets.

More seriously, I suspect that she has ulterior motives for entering the military camp and may pose a threat to our army.

Marriage is a major life event that affects a person's lifelong happiness. I deeply understand Father's good intentions and hope that I can stabilize my morale through this marriage.

However, I really don't want to force myself to marry such a ruthless woman.

In doing so, she would not only suffer for the rest of her life, but her schemes could also endanger the safety of the entire army.

Therefore, on his wedding night, the child staged an emergency military operation and temporarily left the military camp. This was to protect himself and the army, and also to buy himself more time to uncover the truth.

Now, I have decided to leave for a while and travel the world in search of peace and freedom for my soul.

I know this may disappoint you, Father, but I beg you to understand my predicament.

I am not shirking responsibility, but rather hoping to find a path that can both protect myself and uphold the greater good. I beg my father to grant my wish and allow me to temporarily step away from the conflict and find inner peace. When the time is right, I will return to the army and continue to serve my country.

During this time, I will closely monitor the situation in the military and be prepared to respond to any potential crises. I hope my father will take care of himself and not worry about me. I will always remember my father's teachings and live up to his expectations.

Yours sincerely,

Your unfilial son respectfully submits

After writing the letter and instructing Scarface to deliver it to his father, he felt a little relieved.

A few days later, the old general received the letter, but he was surprisingly calm.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly as he sighed softly, "My son has grown up. He has his own opinions and courage. I am so happy for him."

After leaving the military camp, Lu Yuanchangming began his investigation.

He first arrived at Zhao Wanqing's hometown—a place called Zhao Family Village.

This is a prominent and wealthy family, renowned for their business acumen.

Lu Yuanchangming disguised himself and infiltrated the village, secretly inquiring about Zhao Wanqing's background.

After making inquiries from various sources, he finally learned the truth from an old servant.

It turns out that Zhao Wanqing was originally the daughter of the Zhao family. She was intelligent and beautiful from a young age.

However, she was born out of wedlock, so she did not have a good life at home and grew up in a psychologically distorted environment. But she loved to dance and was very talented in it.

At a banquet and dance, she caught the eye of the eunuch Yang Fugong, who attempted to force her to become his concubine.

Unwilling to submit, Zhao Wanqing escaped from her home under the cover of night and has been missing ever since.

Upon learning this news, Lu Yuanchangming's doubts were confirmed.

He understood that Zhao Wanqing's entry into the military camp was not out of genuine affection, but rather for ulterior motives.

She may have used this marriage as a cover to evade Yang Fugong's pursuit.

With this new understanding, Lu Yuanchangming left Zhao Family Village and decided to go to Yangzhou to start a new life.

In Yangzhou, he bought a luxurious mansion called Luminglou, renamed it Lu Yuanchangming, and reorganized his capable subordinates into an Arrow Rain Army.

With his outstanding looks and gentle demeanor, Lu Yuanchangming quickly rose to fame in Yangzhou.

He not only became the fifth most handsome man in Yangzhou, but also befriended many literati and lived a leisurely life.

However, he was very low-key and rarely appeared in public. When he did, he always wore a straw hat.

Because his name was Lu Yuanchangming, it did not arouse Zhao Wanqing's suspicion.

Because he was handsome and rich, Lu Yuanchangming attracted the attention of many beautiful women in Yangzhou, but he ignored them all until he met Qiu Ziyue.

Qiu Ziyue's dance, Qiu Ziyue's zither, Qiu Ziyue's sword,

Qiu Ziyue's beauty, Qiu Ziyue's kindness and innocence, Qiu Ziyue's liveliness and cuteness

All of this made him cherish it, find it sweet, and enjoy it immensely.

Even someone as faithful in relationships as him, and not particularly high-profile or outgoing, would willingly act like a devoted admirer in public.

Although Lu Yuanchangming lived a luxurious life, he never forgot his mission.

He kept a close eye on the situation in the military and gathered intelligence through various channels so that he could return to the barracks at the appropriate time.

As the days went by, Lu Yuanchangming's life in Yangzhou became increasingly colorful.

He not only made many friends, but also gradually learned more about the secrets of the martial arts world.
