Chapter 1150 - Willing To Let Him Die Alone
Lu Liangwei almost coughed up blood in anger.
She had never imagined she would fall into their hands again after all the suffering she had gone through the past few days.
Lu Liangwei could not help but think about just giving up completely.
At this point, she found herself missing His Majesty and the children more than ever.
She wondered how His Majesty and the children were doing after she went missing.
!!
Has His Majesty found Ji’er?
When would she be able to return and see them again?
Jiang Chong pointed at the near-dead Zeng Lunan lying on the ground and asked, “What should we do about him?”

“Didn’t Lu Liangwei say there’s no antidote to the poison? He’ll end up dying even if we brought him along. It would be best if we just leave him to die here quietly, or his death would only bring us more trouble,” Liu Fu said coldly.
Jiang Chong had nothing to add when he heard this.
Zeng Lunan was quickly losing consciousness, but he could still hear the conversation between the two men.
He could not help but smile ruefully.
They had worked together for quite a long time, after all. In the end, they were still willing to let him die alone.
Memories of his life flashed through his mind.
There was no point in regretting any of the things he had done, but he felt he had lived an incomplete life.
He could not deny that he deserved his fate today.
However, the thought that there would be no trace of him left in this world made him feel sorrowful.
He had lived his life in this land, yet in death, he would not even have a tombstone, let alone anyone who would offer him prayers.
Everything he owned in this world would die together with him, disappearing forever.
Even his body would vanish into the stomachs of wild beasts not long after his death.
At the thought of this, tears dripped from his eyes.

The medicinal ball only contained coma-inducing medicine, albeit quite a heavy dose, which was why Long Chi only woke up on the second day.
The horse-drawn carriage was still traveling on the road by this time.
Lu Liangwei had her pressure point activated by Liu Fu using a unique technique, therefore she was still unable to move.
Her eyes moved when she saw Long Chi waking up, but she said nothing.
Long Chi spotted her immediately.
He reached out and pulled the mustache from her face when he saw it was still sticking there. He observed it in his hand and gave her a small smile. “You look better this way.”
Unmoved, Lu Liangwei closed her eyes to rest.
Long Chi stared at her for a while and noticed that her face was a darker tone than usual. He wondered what she had applied to it to make her look so different from her real face. He wanted to drag her out of the carriage to wash her face, but recalling that they were about to reach West Water Frontier, he decided against it as her current look would attract less attention.
The Yan Kingdom and Great Shang always had trade relations, which was why the West Water Frontier Gates would always be open during certain hours to allow traders to pass.
However, for some reason, there were more soldiers than usual guarding West Water Frontier and the spot checks were quite strict.
A group of traders was already queueing up to leave through the gates.
Long Chi and the others were queued at the back of the line.
It took quite a while before it was finally their turn and the soldiers came forward to examine them thoroughly.
Their travel pass was not the only thing that was checked this time; even the identity of the passengers in the carriage and all the items being moved were examined without exception.
When a soldier pulled open the carriage curtains, he paused for a moment when he saw Lu Liangwei laying in Long Chi’s arms. This was because she kept blinking at him with what seemed to be a hopeful gaze.
The soldier looked at Long Chi with slight suspicion and took out a drawing to compare it with Lu Liangwei. Seeing that she looked nothing like the person in the drawing, a look of disappointment appeared on his face.
When Lu Liangwei saw the soldier had given up, tears of frustration fell from her eyes.
