Chapter 188: The Remnants of the Empty Mansion (3)
There is still no quiet in the house, Yan Shuangshuang and his party just left on the front foot, Xiao Wu hurried over with Lin Yufei with red eyes, the sky has been gathering a lot of clouds, occasionally dropping a few wisps of rain, and it seems to disappear in an instant, making the whole house seem more and more bleak, the gathered people have shifted their positions, the two of them went all the way in, and saw that there was not even a guard at the door, and it was even more chaotic when they entered.

This courtyard is located in the northwest edge of the town, and under the peony mountain full of flowers, white walls and black tiles, surrounded by green shade, it was a good place to be delicate and exquisite, but now the flowers and plants have been trampled a little, and the roof tiles are not known to be overturned by anyone, and they have fallen to the ground a lot, broken into several pieces, scattered and miserable, and the original people do not know why they can't see the shadow, and the whole house is full of unusual tension.
Looking at it this way, there must be no doubt that something has happened, but whether it is the people of the Shuangyan Dart Bureau, or the original master and servant guards in the house, none of them have appeared, and after thinking about it for a while, they are as smart as Xiao Wu, and they have already guessed two questions.
"There is something wrong here, it stands to reason that Fan Shaoxia left earlier than us, and rode a fast horse, he should have arrived, but here not only are people missing, but it is very messy...... Hey, are you listening? Finding that the person next to him was getting farther and farther away, and he didn't listen to him carefully at all, Xiao Wu turned his face slightly, looking very dissatisfied.
But Miss Lin was unconscious, she walked slowly, looking left and right looking for people, her face was even more calm, unalert, as if she didn't notice anything strange at all, and people still had their own reasoning, "What, I think it must be that the matter has not been discussed, the two sides have just fought, and now since I can't see anyone, maybe the fire has already been extinguished, and I am sitting face to face in the room to talk about it." ”
Xiao Wu secretly rolled his eyes, this eldest lady is really amazing, "I said you-" was about to say something, when he suddenly heard a series of bustling footsteps, so frightened that he hurriedly pulled the girl who was swaggering beside him to hide behind the rockery.
"What are you doing, don't pull me!" Miss Lin was not very happy and wanted to shake off his hand, and there was some muttering in her mouth, "Don't pull me, let go." ”
"I don't pull you, shouldn't you rush up by yourself and report to others?" Xiao Wu looked at her with hatred, thinking that in the future, he would stay away from this kind of eldest lady who does not eat fireworks in the world, so as not to accidentally harm himself.
The back of the rockery is very narrow, the soil on the ground is wet and soft, and there is some rainwater, which sticks to the soles of her shoes, Miss Lin stomped her feet uncomfortably, and pulled her clothes, not very comfortable, "What the hell is this place, we are not thieves, why are we hiding?" ”
Xiao Wusheng was afraid that she would rush out again, so he had to make a silent gesture, and hurriedly admonished, "Remember, don't make a sound." It made Miss Lin look inexplicable.
It wasn't until the hurried footsteps got closer and closer that Miss Lin seemed to realize something, her eyes changed, and she closed her mouth tightly.
The two of them secretly stuck out their heads to look, and sure enough, a group of people passed under the porch, they were wearing uniform white robes and turbans, their movements were fast, and their movements were hurried, and the chaos in the house at the moment was obviously inseparable from them.
The two of them glanced at each other, and they both sensed that something was wrong, and when they were far away, they immediately followed secretly.
Lin Yufei stared at those unknown people tightly, her dark eyes rolled around, and when she saw Xiao Wu beside her frowning and a serious face, she couldn't help but poke him with her elbow, and asked curiously, "...... they?"
"Don't be noisy!" Xiao Wu covered her and drank lightly, making Miss Lin obediently shut up all of a sudden.
After following for a long time, they found that the other party's behavior was very strange, they kept searching in circles in the house, it seemed that they should be looking for something, and the two knew that it might not make much sense to follow them, so they took advantage of their unpreparedness to find a remote corner to hide.
After still the rockery, hiding is hiding, from time to time there will be more or less white-robed people passing by, the footsteps are hurrying, and I don't know what they are searching. Lin Yufei couldn't help but say, "Who are they?" How can you be so unscrupulous? ”
Xiao Wu stared at the corridor tightly, and said without looking back: "The people of Sanqingmen." "It's a typical dress-up, it's so easy to recognize.
Although this white-eyed old monster behaves arrogantly and domineeringly, there is one thing that is worthy of admiration, that is, he has always done things without concealment, and he dares to act. Therefore, he brought his disciples to cause trouble, and he did not shy away from waving the banner of Sanqingmen, and he never worried about any worries! Xiao Wu pressed his hand on the rockery, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's clear that I was hit hard not long ago, and I still don't know how to rein ......."
"So what are they looking for? Where did all the people of the Zhang family go? Lin Yufei frowned, but she was a little panicked in her heart: she and the young ladies and young masters of the Zhang family have known each other since childhood, although they are not good friends, but they are also old acquaintances, and if such a thing happens, I don't know what the consequences will be?
In a panic, he couldn't hear Xiao Wu's self-talk, every time he wanted to rush out to find out, he was hurriedly pulled back by Xiao Wu's arm, Lin Yufei secretly scolded him countless times, until a guard of the Zhang family hurriedly dodged over and accidentally collided with the two of them.
The man ran out of a room, very short, sneaky all the way, nervously looking around, from the porch to the courtyard, retreating to hide behind the rockery, because he was walking backwards, and distracted, did not look behind him clearly, coldly bumped into Miss Lin and Xiao Wu, and was so frightened that he was about to exclaim.
"Ahh
"It's me!" Lin Yufei was the first to speak, revealing a bright face behind Xiao Wu, the guard was really frightened at the beginning, and when he saw the clothes of the two in the drag, he already knew that the other party was not from Sanqingmen, and when he heard Lin Yufei speak, his nervous heart immediately calmed down, "Miss Lin!" He bowed his head slightly, his tone a little more respectful.
With the status of the Lin family in Luoyang City, there is no one who does not know this young lady, let alone the Zhang family, who often has dealings with the Lin family.
Xiao Wu glanced at Lin Yufei unexpectedly, let go of his hand, and asked first, "What's going on here?" ”
The guard also glanced at him, and couldn't guess the origin of this person, seeing that this young man had a sharp eye, red lips and white teeth, and Miss Lin by his side, he thought: Although he saw Miansheng, maybe it was the new follower recruited by Miss Lin. So he coughed twice, cleared his throat, stood up straight, and explained honestly: "The people from the Shuangyan Dart Bureau came to the eldest young master to ask for an explanation, who knows...... There are a lot of people coming to Sanqingmen, and they want to turn the whole house upside down, and they will beat ...... when they see people."
He still had bruises on his face, and after touching it, he said with palpitations: "Fortunately, I ran fast, some brothers have been killed by them......"
Before he finished speaking, Lin Yufei couldn't control his emotions anymore, and stepped forward to grab his shirt and asked, "Where is your eldest young master?" And Zhang Jiansheng, Zhang Mingxuan, where did they go? Hasn't Mr. Dongfang been here lately, and where is he? "These people are acting so recklessly, where did the masters of the Zhang family go?
"After the third young master returned to Luoyang, he immediately led someone to escort his wife......" Realizing that what he said was wrong, he hurriedly changed his words, "...... and the relics of the old man left Luoyang and went to his hometown in Liuzhou, the eldest young master suddenly fainted a few days ago for some reason, and has been bedridden ever since...... I'm afraid ......," he shuddered and closed his eyes, "I'm afraid I've been poisoned, and I'm going to die soon!" ”
When he said this, he didn't know what he thought, his eyes were closed, and his face was full of sorrow, "If the eldest young master is dead, what should we do, what should we do......" He suddenly had an emotional attack, and he cried, as if there was no other way to live.
In the entire Zhang family, although Zhang Minzhi seems to be idle and does not seek progress, in the eyes of all the subordinates, and even outsiders who have contact with the Zhang family, as the eldest son, he is the one who needs to be relied on the most.
At the moment, he is the only person in the Zhang family who can be responsible and the only one who will be responsible, and his disappearance will naturally cause panic among everyone in the family.
"And where are they now?" Lin Yufei continued to ask unwillingly, as if he had forgotten his original intention of coming.
The man was stunned for a moment, remembered what had happened before, and muttered, "No...... Gone......" disappeared out of thin air under the siege of everyone.
After a bitter cry and a sigh of determination, the searchers who came and went had gradually lost their voices, but the guard took advantage of the gap between the two to discuss, lied that he was going to find the missing eldest young master, and fled out of the yard like a loach.
"I don't know who the person who cried so hard just now is that he came back to life." In Xiao Wu's muttering, the two walked out from behind the rockery and stood in the courtyard for a while inexplicably, as if they didn't know what to do next, each thinking in their heads, and no one spoke.
"The people of the Sanqingmen...... The people of Sanqingmen...... How did you get here? Xiao Wu began to rub his palms irritably, and even couldn't help but lower his head and walk back and forth, which was an action he would do when he was nervous, "What is it for?" Could it be the same as the original Hanyue, just for a legend that is difficult to distinguish between true and false? ”
That's not right...... It shouldn't be......
Finally, as if he had made a decision, he suddenly stopped walking back and forth, stared at Lin Yufei tightly, his eyes were blazing, and Miss Lin's heart jumped, and he looked away uncomfortably and said, "You...... What are you looking at me for? Xiao Wu slapped his face, and immediately said to Lin Yufei: "You wait for me here, I'll follow me over and find out what they are looking for." ”
He was also responsible, he didn't leave immediately, but pulled Lin Yufei to a dense tree, the tree was in an inconspicuous corner of the yard, I don't know what kind of tree it was, the branches were luxuriant, it was extremely difficult to find out in Tibet, Lin Yufei was pushed and dragged by him, and finally stepped on his shoulders and climbed the tree, barely sitting on the branch.
Xiao Wu stayed under the tree by himself, muttering to himself for a while and nodding his head for a while, circling around her, but still reaching out and pulling off a luxuriant branch and handing it to her, telling her to cover her head a little.
"It's crowded enough, why are you giving me this?" Miss Lin took it inexplicably, held it in her hand as she spoke, and picked a few dead yellow leaves that were not very pleasing to the eye.
"Ordinary girls' families, when they encounter hooligans fighting on the street, they have to stay away, not to mention these people in the rivers and lakes with unknown purposes and fierce gods. I don't know where you got the guts...... In short, if someone comes, hide obediently, don't squeak, lest you run into something that is not easy to provoke, and then see who you are looking for to cry! Xiao Wu said, stepped on the dirt and looked around, and after making sure that he was safe and sound, he turned back and said, "So no one can find you." ”
Seeing that although the other party was holding the branch in his hand quite cooperatively, he still shook his legs from side to side and didn't care, Xiao Wu also shook his hand at her, and after successfully attracting her attention, he told again: "It is said that only by standing high and seeing far away, knowing yourself and knowing your opponent, can you save your life." Stay here and don't run around, I'll be back to you in a moment. ”
"I ...... Feed! Before Lin Yufei could stop him, the other party had disappeared in a blink of an eye, faster than the guard, and Miss Lin rolled her eyes in anger, "Why did you say that you just left?" ”
"What." Looking at the empty courtyard of the long corridor, she had to retract her gaze, looking around unhappily, and from time to time she would hear the sound of kicking and tapping, high and low, flickering and chaotic, as if she was getting closer, and for some reason gradually became farther away in a blink of an eye.
Who is it and what is going on? What the hell are they doing? She felt like she was tickling in her heart, it was really hard to hold back, and when she thought about why she came, the footsteps she heard just now, could it be Fan Yuqing and them? Thinking about it like this, I couldn't sit still, and when I twisted around, the tree also sank, and a few leaves fell to the ground.
She stared at the fallen leaves, her head was hot, she snorted and gritted her teeth and said, "Little rascal, if you tell me not to move, how old are you?" He threw the branch in his hand, patted the dust off his palm, supported it with both hands, and jumped off the tree lightly and skillfully.
"Ouch!" Miss Lin, who regarded herself as a martial arts master, was unstable when she landed, and accidentally sat on the ground, "It hurts me to death." Lin Yufei rubbed his buttocks and looked up, and secretly said in his heart, I didn't expect this tree to be quite tall. Sparsely and sparsely, he got up and patted the dirt off his body three or two times, then looked up, took a deep breath, and then limped and walked cautiously into the depths of the countless houses.
