Go Home

Chapter 37: Encounter

There was already turmoil inside and outside the Li mansion, and the people on the street hurriedly hid back to their homes, stroking their chests in fear. I don't know why it's so good. Suddenly these people from the rivers and lakes blow up their nests with swords and swords, but don't want to make a big mess.

"Master, master!" The housekeeper of Li Mansion scrambled to the study, "I can't stop it!"

"This... Has the leader sent someone to come?" Li Yin was anxious.

"I haven't seen it yet." The housekeeper panted and shook his head. "Those people at the door didn't know what was deceived. They all clamored for the master to ask about the whereabouts of the red lotus cup, and said, "We will get rich together." No matter how the person of the person explained, the other party couldn't listen to it. Instead, they became more and more restless, believing that we had hidden the red lotus cup privately."

Li Yin sighed again and again, walking around the house anxiously. When the two of the Eagle Claw Gang first disappeared, he had already vaguely noticed something wrong, and secretly reported to Qiu Peng several times, wanting him to be more vigilant, but only in exchange for an understatement of "don't panic", now But, really, something went wrong, he didn't even send anyone.

In the beginning, the crowd of people from the rivers and lakes did not actually think of embarrassing Li Mansion. After all, the red lotus lantern was stolen by the Eagle Claw Gang, and Li Yin was also one of the victims. They only wanted to come to the door to ask for more clues, but unexpectedly they couldn't even enter the courtyard. There were dozens of guards standing in the courtyard, with long swords, spears and shields shining in the cold under the tragic day, staring at them, obviously treating these people at the door as enemies. .

In this way, things can become strange.

After all, I haven't heard of anyone who has been stolen. Others want to help catch the thief. Instead of thanking them, the host will drive them away. In this case, Bacheng is a guardian who steals and hides good things.

"What the big guy is still stunned, go in and look for it!" I don't know who shouted, and the crowd suddenly became more commotion. I didn't know which school was the head, and kicked open the locked door.

As I said earlier, most of the Jianghu sects guarding in the city of Wushuang have misbehaviors, and they are used to doing things like cockroaches and thieves. Naturally, there will be no facial scruples at this time, I'm afraid they will suffer if it is too late. One by one, holding swords and tides rushing into Li's mansion, they clashed with Ding Dingling in a blink of an eye.

Lin Wei walked slowly down the street.

"Sergeant Zhuge, sergeant!" Behind them, the three people in the Shadow Chase Palace were rushing to the death and rushing to live. They complained repeatedly. Others rushed to Li Mansion to grab good things. Why didn't they know that they came back to report a letter and almost eat. It's a big loss.

"What's the rush?" Lin Wei lowered his voice, pretending to be mysterious, "Now all sects of the rivers and lakes are fighting in the front yard, but the real treasure is hidden in the secret passage of the backyard study. We sneaked over, just as no one noticed, Fisherman Profit."

When the three of the Shadow Chase Palace heard it, they really didn't suspect that he was overjoyed, and they ran in the direction of Li Mansion.

At this time, the courtyard of Li's house had already turned into a boiling water pot, and more and more sects came after hearing the news, and even some so-called "righteous and famous gates" who had previously worried about their reputations were rushed ahead.

The people from Chaomuya were also mixing in. After receiving the secret signal from the companion in charge of stalking, he suddenly yelled: "Quick! Someone went to the backyard study to grab the baby!" While shouting, he rushed away from the crowd. He dashed back, staggering hoarsely, as if he had seen the glittering Jinshan.

"All to Lao Tzu!" As soon as I heard a clue, the eyes of the leaders of the various sects began to light up, holding their weapons high and slashing all the way, and unabashedly wrote their greedy and bloodthirsty nature on their faces.

The ground was soaked with blood, the air was full of moist and fresh rusty smell, screams came and went one after another, and even the sight was blurred when the blood mist sprayed.

It's like Shura hell.

Lu Chai stood alone on the Cloud Piercing Tower, watching the movement of Li Mansion from a distance. The cold wind blew the hem of the clothes and hair, a bit bitingly cool.

He pulled out a neatly folded veil from his sleeve and wiped the tip of his red nose. As he turned around, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the blurry figure shaking. Before he got back to his senses, a cold light approached in front of him.

Relying on the instinct of martial arts for many years, although Lu Zhui turned sideways in time, he still had a few strands of black hair cut off by the sharp blade and fell to the ground.

The gust of wind suddenly rose, and after the sound of clank, the Qingfeng Sword went out of its sheath in anger, Lu Chai held the sword in one hand to fend off a killer move, and stood coldly at the person in front of him.

The other party covered his face with a black scarf, only showing a pair of emotionless eyes, like a very professional killer.

Lu Zhui said, "Your Excellency, who I am?"

"Lu Mingyu." The opponent slashed across his neck with a cold voice, "Someone is paying a big price to buy your eyes."

Lu Chai Meifeng suddenly shuddered, bent his knees three inches below the opponent's knee, and forced it to five steps away. Everyone who walks the rivers and lakes knows that it is unreasonable to be a killer, and only if you try your best can you be alive.

The cold light of the blade of the cool breeze flashed four times, like an electric light slicing a piece of cold wind, creating a phantom. When they collided with the opponent's double knives, the sound of the ironware was as clear as a jade plate, but it stopped abruptly after a short time. Only hearing the sound of "Bang Dang", the killer had lost his weapon.

Lu Chai put a long sword on his shoulder: "You lost."

The other party sneered: "Not necessarily."

Lu asked: "Who hired you?"

The other party looked wrong, and raised his chin casually: "He is behind you."

Lu Zhui paused after hearing this, and the surroundings were silent. He didn't think there was a third person here.

"What?" The other party's tone was provocative, with some provocative meaning in it, "Don't dare to look back?"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a very subtle sound of footsteps. The murderous intent flashed in Lu Zhui's eyes, and the sword blade slid to the opponent's neck, but unexpectedly it seemed to be hacked on a gold net.

Taking advantage of this short opportunity, the assassin jumped into the air, and hundreds of silver darts flew out of his sleeves, pointing directly at the door of his face. Lights and shadows interlaced in the air, woven into an airtight net.

Lu Chai retreated instinctively, swept away the hidden weapon with his sword light in his backhand, but still suffered from a pain in his shoulder, oozing blood.

The assassin caught his neck, hiding a cold light blade in his silver gloves.

Lu Chai closed his eyes suddenly.

The cold blade pierced through the flesh and blood, his face was splashed with hot and humid liquid.

The killer opened his eyes wide, lowered his head inconceivably, looked at the iron rod that crossed his neck, slowly let go of his hand, and fell backward.

Xiao Lan strode forward and held Lu Zhui in his arms: "Are you okay?"

Lu Chai shook his head. There was a two-inch-long wound on his face. He was accidentally wounded, and his shoulder was mostly red with blood. Regardless of the severity of the injury, at least it looked quite distressing.

Xiao Lan kicked the man in black on the ground and walked down the tower with Lu Zhui in his arms.

"Don't see what identity it is?" Lu asked.

Xiao Lan said, "I know who he is."

Lu Chai responded, and did not ask any more.

Xiao Lan turned on his horse and took him back to the small courtyard in Yangliu Hutong first.

Lin Wei and A Liu were both staring at Li Mansion, and there was no one else in the house. Lu Chai sat on the edge of the bed, covering half of his face with a handkerchief, looking very weak.

"Is there a medicine box?" Xiao Lan asked, bending over.

Lu Chai nodded, and pointed at the wooden wardrobe.

Xiao Lan took the medicine box, went to the kitchen to boil a large pot of hot water, and carried it into the house.

Lu Zhui said, "Will it leave scars?"

Xiao Lan said, "No."

Lu Zhui said, "What if you stay?"

Xiao Lan dipped a clean towel with hot water, and wiped off the blood on his face little by little: "If you stop talking, you won't leave scars."

Lu Chai said, "Scars are ugly."

Xiao Lan said, "Yes."

Lu Zhui said, "You're actually ‘um’."

Xiao Lan said: "Maybe it hurts, so bear with it."

Lu Chai frowned: "Then you should be lighter."

Seeing him dodge all the time, Xiao Lan couldn't bear it, but the wound couldn't be left to dry. It would be a pity that such a beautiful face had scars, so he still cruelly stuck the gauze on.

Lu Zhui snorted, and the white light in front of him appeared endlessly, like a pear blossom blooming in a golden year.

He thought dizzyly, he was quite poetic.

Xiao Lan carefully bandaged the wound and breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay."

Lu Chai wrapped a bandage and leaned into his arms softly.

Seeing him look tired, Xiao Lan simply took advantage of the situation and hugged him from behind, asking him to find the most comfortable and labor-saving posture, and then carefully took off half of his clothes, soaked in hot water and powdered medicine to deal with the dart wound on his shoulder.

Lu Chai leaned his head against his shoulder, and said, "Who is that person?"

Xiao Lan didn't stop his movements: "It doesn't matter who he is, but I know that the person who sent him must be an aunt."

"Aunt Gui?" Lu Chai frowned.

"Does it still hurt?" Xiao Lan asked.

"He said he would goug my eyes." Lu chased.

Xiao Lan paused for a moment, then covered his eyes with the warm palm of his right hand: "No."

"You are from Mingyue Tomb." Lu Chai lowered his head.

"I am like this, where is someone from Mingyue Tomb." Xiao Lan changed him into a clean coat. "Before my aunt only took away the memories of my childhood, but I don't know that the past was intermittent after adulthood. ."

"Do you want to know?" Lu Chai looked back at him, "the past."

"Is it related to the Xiao family?" Xiao Lan asked.

Lu Chai shook his head: "It's only about me."

"Then you want to talk?" Xiao Lan asked again.

Lu Zhui said, "I wanted to remind you yourself, but if you want to know now--"

"Don't say it." Xiao Lan interrupted him.

Lu Chai looked into his eyes.

"Then I think about it myself." Xiao Lan raised his mouth, "It's only about you. If you don't want to say it, then don't say it for now."

Lu Chau smiled: "You said this. I want to ask later, I won't say it anymore."

Xiao Lan poured a cup of hot water and asked him to warm it in his hand: "Let's take a break."

"I don't know what happened to Li Mansion." Lu Zhui said, "Why don't you go and see?"

"Aren't you afraid that someone will attack again?" Xiao Lan shook his head, "Since Auntie's people can follow you to the Cloud Crossing Pagoda, this small courtyard may not be found."

"Do you want to see Auntie Gui?" Lu asked.

"Whether I want to or not, I want to see you in the end." Xiao Lan said, "It's you, you have to be more careful in the future. No one knows how high aunt's skill is. If she wants to hurt you, I'm afraid I will stop you. Can't live."

Lu Zhui said, "Yeah."

"Don't be afraid." Xiao Lan said, "You take a break, and I will send you to Qingcang Mountain to stay with your mother."

Lu asked: "How about you?"

"The Xiao family's life debt hasn't been collected yet, so I naturally want to stay in the city of Frost." Xiao Lan said, "Don't worry, my aunt won't do anything to me."

There were footsteps in the courtyard, and Lu Chai said, "It's Lin Wei."

Xiao Lan got up and opened the bedroom door.

Lin Wei was taken aback for a moment: "Where is the second master?"

"Suffered some injuries." Xiao Lan turned sideways.

Lin Wei was shocked and angry when he heard the words. He rushed into the house in three steps and made two steps. He saw Lu Chai's head wrapped in bandages and a thick layer on his shoulders. He immediately took a breath: "Who is so short? eye?"

Xiao Lan said: "People from Mingyue Tomb."

Lu Zhui said: "Aunt Gui sent it. But I'm fine. It's all skin injuries. It's just that the cloth tape is wrapped two more layers. Let's talk about it first, what's going on outside?"

Lin Wei said: "The tunnel of Li Mansion has been lifted."

Lu Zhui said, "What then?"

"Then all hidden weapons were issued, but I had reminded them beforehand, so not many people were injured." Lin Wei said, "Li Fu Jia Ding was beaten to the ground, Li Yin was also tied up, and a group of people from the rivers and lakes were guarding him. And Qiu Peng never appeared from the beginning to the end of the incident."

"Where is the government?" Lu asked.

"There is a token from the court, so it's natural to listen to the second master." Lin Wei said, "The government officer only went to Li Mansion for a circle, and then left in less than a cup of tea. He also dispersed the people on the street and talked about affairs. , The arena is complete."

"Thank you," Lu Chai said, "Continue to send people to stare at the dry woods in the south."

Lin Wei nodded: "Subordinates understand."

"The people of Mingyue Tomb are coming soon, or 80% have already arrived." Lu Chase said, "Let our people pay more attention."

Lin Wei took the order to leave and saw the restaurant when he went out. He did not forget to let the boss stew an old hen and send it to Yangliu Alley-after all, he was injured and needed to be nourished.

Lu Chai took the spoon and ate very slowly.

Xiao Lan reminded: "You hurt your left arm." Why can't even the spoon be held firmly in the right hand?

Lu reluctantly leaned back on the bed, looking like a lazy fairy.

Xiao Lan was funny, took the spoon and fed him to finish the bowl. I made the strong tea again, and blanched it in the teapot that was so shiny.

Lu Zhui said, "This is the best aged Pu'er from Da Chu."

Xiao Lan said, "I don't drink tea."

Lu Chai was silent for a moment, and started to drink tea by himself.

Xiao Lan couldn't laugh or cry as she looked beside her, looking like a little old man.

Lu Zhui said, "Actually, you also drank tea before."

Xiao Lan asked, "In addition to drinking tea, what else would I do before?"

Lu recalled for a while and said, "Cooking and washing dishes, carrying water and cutting firewood, plowing the land for washing, weaving cloth and killing chickens."

Xiao Lan said: "You continue editing."

Lu Zhui continued: "Massage the shoulder."

Xiao Lan suddenly pressed his shoulders: "Shhh."

Lu Chai was slightly puzzled, and asked him with his eyes, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Lan whispered: "Someone is crying outside the head."
