I'm Actually The Big Villain In The Book

Chapter 231 Journey of a Thousand Miles, Not Taking a Step

A quarter of an hour later, in a quiet room of Wantong Escort.

Lu Jingyao was holding a cup of hot tea, sitting opposite Yun Lian.

If Wei Changtian were here at this moment, he would have already started thinking about whether to kill the son of Heavenly Dao.

But Lu Jingyao didn't know that the soft and weak woman in front of her was actually a fish demon, and she didn't know that her husband was not only dead, but even died because of Wei Changtian.

"Here, madam."

Qiu Yun next to him rummaged through his luggage and found an own cloak.

"Ok."

Lu Jingyao took the cloak and put it beside Yunlian with a smile.

"Miss Yun, put it on quickly."

"No, no need."

Yun Lian hurriedly waved her hands, and gently pushed back the cloak: "Sister Lu, I'm not cold."

"How can you not be cold if you wear so little?"

Lu Jingyao laughed and said: "You can wear it as you are told, don't shirk it."

"."

Yunlian lowered her head in embarrassment, and did not refuse again.

"Thank you, thank you, I will definitely pay back the money for the escort fee and clothes in the future"

"We'll talk about that later."

Seeing Yun Lian put on the cloak, Lu Jingyao asked again: "Miss Yun, where are you from?"

"Qingzhou, Yu'er Island."

Yunlian hesitated for a moment, then added in a low voice, "It's a small island."

"Fish Island?"

Naturally, Lu Jingyao had never heard of this name, but she didn't care, she nodded and asked, "Then what does your husband-in-law do in Shuzhou?"

"I don't know, he, he hasn't been home for a long time."

As if a certain nerve was touched, Yunlian's eyes overflowed with tears in an instant: "I, I found the capital all the way from Qingzhou, and some people said that he went to Shuzhou, so I wanted to go to Shuzhou to find him again."

"Ok?"

Lu Jingyao was not stupid, and immediately heard a lot of doubts from these few words.

However, Yunlian's appearance really didn't look like some villain with ulterior motives, so she didn't ask any further questions, thinking that she would learn more about it on the way to Shuzhou.

"Miss Yun, I actually went to Shuzhou to find my husband."

Handing the own handkerchief to Yun Lian, Lu Jingyao comforted softly: "When the time comes, I'll beg him, maybe I can help you."

"Really, really?"

When Yun Lian heard that Lu Jingyao wanted to help her find a husband, she was so excited that she knelt down on the ground with a "plop".

"Lu, Sister Lu, I don't know how to repay you, your great kindness."

"What are you doing, get up."

Lu Jingyao was startled by this sudden kneeling, and hurried to help Yunlian.

But at this time, a drop of the latter's tear just happened to fall on the back of her hand.

"ah!"

Lu Jingyao subconsciously exclaimed, and suddenly withdrew her arm.

"Ma'am, what's the matter?"

Qiu Yun at the side immediately leaned over, nervously following Lu Jingyao's line of sight.

I saw a small patch on the back of the white hand had turned red, as if it had been scalded by something.

"This"

The second daughter looked up at Yun Lian in astonishment, and the latter of course also noticed all this.

She hastily wiped away the tears on her face, bit her fingertips at the same time, knelt down and lifted up the bleeding finger.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

"Just, just smear my blood on it!"

"T-really!"

"."

According to legend, on the banks of the Weishui River, a fish demon and a fisherman fell in love with each other, but because the fish demon could not stay on the shore forever, one day he had to return to the river, so he gave the fisherman a wing-shaped knot before leaving, and kept a knot for himself. A demon meets again after ten years.

The fish demon returned to the Weishui River, and practiced hard every day. After ten years, he finally got the Dao and could stay on the land forever.

Revisiting the old place, the fish demon searched hard several times, and got the fisherman's residence.

The fisherman is drying his nets outside his house, his wife and children are standing beside him, and his wife wears a wing-like knot in her skirt.

The fish demon returned to the Weishui River, and the next day, it set off a torrent of water with its demonic power.

After the flood, the fish demon found the corpses of several people and buried them in the soil. He took back the knots he had given to the fishermen and hung them on the left side of his clothes, and his own knots on the right side of his clothes.

A pair of knots turned into wings, and never entered the Weishui River again.

"Shan Hai Jing": Ying fish has a fish body and bird wings, and its sound is like a mandarin duck. When it is seen, it is full of water.

The way of disaster.

Half an hour later, Wei Mansion.

"Master Wei, we have already found Miss Lu's trace."

In the study room, several spies from Xuanjing Division's sticky pole bowed to report: "Miss Lu and Miss Qiuyun are currently at Wantong Escort Bureau, preparing to go to Shuzhou."

"Hmph! Sure enough!"

Wei Xianzhi snorted coldly, but his expression finally relaxed.

Although there was indeed no guard outside the tunnel, the guards of the Wei family were not useless. They soon discovered that Lu Jingyao and Qiu Yun were missing, and reported to him immediately.

And in the case of the sticky pole, how could a person like Lu Jingyao who has no anti-reconnaissance awareness hide his whereabouts, so he was quickly found out.

"Master Wei, according to the staff of Wantong Escort Bureau, there is a woman named Yun Lian traveling with Miss Lu."

"This girl said she was going to Shuzhou to find her husband-in-law, but she didn't have enough money to pay for the bodyguard. In the end, it was Miss Lu who paid for her in advance."

Soon, the spies told the story of what happened at Wantong Escort Bureau.

"Yunlian?"

After hearing this, Wei Xianzhi frowned and thought for a while, and ruled out the possibility that this Yunlian was from the Liu family.

After all, the Liu family had no reason to know that Lu Jingyao ran away secretly.

Even if he really knew, he would probably send a master to rob him directly, so there would be so many detours.

So it's probably just a coincidence.

"Snapped!"

"Bring me back immediately!"

Putting the teacup in his hand on the table, Wei Xianzhi's tone was rather cold.

Although he can understand Lu Jingyao's thoughts, he has been in a high position for a long time, so he is very disgusted with this kind of "disobedience to orders".

"yes!"

The spy at the sticking pole first stood up and responded, and then asked: "My lord, do you want to bring that Yunlian back too?"

"No need to."

At this critical moment, no matter what Yunlian's identity is, Wei Xianzhi will definitely not take the slightest risk of "leading wolves into the house", so he waved his hand immediately.

"Just bring Lu Jingyao and Qiu Yun back."

"Subordinates understand!"

Another hour later.

Lu Jingyao, who "failed to escape", returned to her room dejectedly, looking at the blocked tunnel entrance in silence.

After Wei Xianzhi's merciless criticism and education, she now knows that she has done something wrong, and her heart is full of guilt and self-blame.

Father-in-law was right, if something happened to him, it would definitely bring a lot of trouble to the Wei family.

The husband must also be distraught.

After serious reflection, Lu Jingyao started writing to Wei Changtian again.

In addition to self-criticism, the letter also carefully wrote about Yunlian.

Lu Jingyao just thought it was strange, so she wanted to share it with Wei Changtian.

If Wei Changtian could really read this letter in time, she would indeed have made a great contribution.

It's a pity that the former is currently on his way to Jizhou, and the communication with the capital will be cut off for at least ten days.

At this time, Yun Lian was already sitting in the carriage of Wantong Escort Bureau, heading for Shuzhou.
