The purpose of doing this was naturally to let the teacher see that, ever since the teacher had held off Chi Bilie half a month ago, he had gone straight to the small courtyard that Shen Rong had bought as soon as he left.
After Liu Bowen explained the current situation, Shen Rong was a little confused, but she still chose to believe Li Boyang.
When leaving Dengfeng, Liu Bowen specially asked Shen Rong to change into some rustic clothes and even bought her a face towel to take with her. The world was too chaotic these days, and bandits were everywhere outside the county. Dengfeng had recently changed hands, so they had to be careful.
After all that work, and having transformed Shen Rong into a village woman, the two didn't even have time to say goodbye at Songyang Academy. They bought a horse and headed towards Haozhou.
There were no problems until the morning before yesterday, but accidents often happen when you least expect them.
Three days ago, when passing by a river, Shen Rong took off her face towel to wash her face. Liu Bowen thought that it would only be a short while and nothing would go wrong, so he did not follow her.
Unexpectedly, a group of soldiers happened to be drinking water by the river. Upon seeing Shen Rong's appearance, they dared to abduct her in public and simply snatched her away.
Seeing this, Liu Bowen did not go up to argue with the soldiers, but instead secretly followed them all the way, leaving marks along the way.
Just as Liu Bowen was carving marks on the tree, a hand suddenly landed on his shoulder, and a familiar voice came from behind.
"Bowen, why are you alone? Where is Shen Rong?"

Chapter 117 Shen Rong is kidnapped
After bidding farewell to Gui San, Li Boyang sped towards Woyang. Soon he noticed some markings on large trees and immediately realized they might have been left by Liu Bowen.
Following the marks, they finally found Liu Bowen.
"teacher!"
Liu Bowen turned around, his expression revealing surprise and relief.
"Where's Shen Rong? Why isn't she with you?"
Although the love was unrequited, Shen Rong would visit his home from time to time, and since she was also his student, Li Boyang still cared about her.
"Something's happened, teacher..."
Liu Bowen calmly recounted to Li Boyang how the soldiers abducted Shen Rong and how he had followed them all the way.
"You did the right thing. Preserving your life is more righteous than engaging in futile resistance."
Hearing his teacher's affirmation, Liu Bowen felt relieved. In his view, Shen Rong's relationship with his teacher was unusual, somewhat ambiguous, and there was a possibility that she could become his teacher's wife.
Shen Rong had been kidnapped for less than half a day, but he felt as if each day was an eternity, and that he had failed his teacher's trust.
Li Boyang pressed further, "Which faction's soldiers are they?"
Liu Bowen recalled for a moment and said, "Judging from the soldiers' attire, they seem to be soldiers under Chen Youliang."
Li Boyang sighed. In the original Wudang world, Chen Youliang, in order to gain Shen Wansan's support, seized the opportunity to kidnap Shen Rong, hoping to force the issue and make her Shen Wansan's son-in-law.
Finally, Zhang Junbao stepped forward, bravely stormed the military camp, and rescued Shen Rong. Originally, it was thought that history had been changed, and Shen Rong had entered Songyang Academy and become his student, so the subsequent events would not happen.
Unexpectedly, history came full circle. When Liu Bowen and Shen Rong passed through Haozhou, they were spotted by Chen Youliang's soldiers and kidnapped again.
"Come on, let's go rescue them."
"Hopefully nothing happened..."
Three days have passed, and no one knows what will happen. Li Boyang's biggest worry is that Shen Rong will be forcibly defiled. Even if he saves Shen Rong, he will have no face to see her, since he was the one who asked Liu Bowen to take Shen Rong away.
Moreover, given Shen Rong's personality, if she were defiled, she would most likely commit suicide. Having spent so much time together, I have a fairly good understanding of Shen Rong's character.
Li Boyang had already prepared for the worst. If Shen Rong was defiled or committed suicide due to unbearable humiliation, then the only option would be to use Chen Youliang's head as a sacrifice for Shen Rong.
Li Bo led the way on horseback, with Li Boyang following closely behind, his face filled with murderous intent.
Although Chen Youliang was the leader of a rebel army, Li Boyang did not take him seriously. What did it matter if he was powerful? It was not uncommon for chivalrous heroes to assassinate King Liao, and taking the head of a general from a thousand miles away was not a joke.
Given Li Boyang's current abilities, if he were to target and assassinate the leader of a powerful force, even a master of the same level would find it difficult to protect him 24/7.
However, experts at the Qi Refining Realm generally have their own style and would not do such extreme things. If Shen Rong were to die, he would not care about style or anything like that.
Outside of Woyang Town.
The military tents were set up in an orderly fashion along the riverbank.
One of the soldiers delivering food looked excited, his face flushed, and he walked with a brisk pace, as if he couldn't wait.
The soldiers rushed to a military tent and slowly lifted the tent flap.
"Women can be this beautiful. It's not a bad deal to get this job in exchange for washing Er Mazi's clothes for a week."
Inside the military tent, Shen Rong lay on the table, her hands crossed under her chin. She glanced at the soldier who brought her food with disdain, but didn't say a word.
"Miss Shen, it's time to eat. Don't go hungry."
The soldier, his eyes glazed, walked up to Shen Rong with an unexpectedly respectful attitude.
This woman in front of him is a treasure; he dares not touch her. General Ren's promotion and wealth depend on this woman.
Shen Rong tossed the lunchbox aside and asked, "Have you notified my father? When will he arrive?"
She had seen many soldiers like these in the past three days, so she could only take advantage of their presence. She wasn't worried at all that they would dare to do anything inappropriate.
After being captured and brought here, the general of the military camp was immediately captivated by Shen Rong's appearance and began to grope her, attempting to forcibly defile her. However, Shen Rong was far calmer than Li Boyang had imagined and immediately revealed that she was the daughter of Shen Wansan, the richest man in Jiangnan.
