Chapter 24: Before the Storm (5)

The sky gradually turned gray and the rain gradually became heavier.

It was already late, and there were few people on the west street of Qingyu City at this time.

However, on such a street, there was a horse-drawn carriage and three wooden carts pulling coffins.

Sitting in the carriage were Li Ru and Zhang Liao, and after settling the matter of the Tianxia Downstairs, the two of them immediately set out to pull these coffins into the city.

Li Ru was still satisfied with Zhang Naizhuang's performance in the world, and Zhang Liao was also watching from the sidelines, and he still admired Zhang Naizhuang's courage.

Zhang Liao has not seen many people who can look down on life and death in the face of life and death, and Zhang Naizhuang is one of them.

But it's just admiration, as for Zhang Naizhuang's ability, Zhang Liao is not clear, but it is definitely not easy to be favored by Li Ru.

Zhang Liao, who was sitting in the carriage, didn't know what Li Ru was going to do, and Li Ru didn't tell Zhang Liao about going north.

"Wenyou, what are we going to do with these corpses?"

"Of course it's going north, oh, I almost forgot to tell Wenyuan."

It wasn't until Zhang Liao asked him that Li Ru remembered that he didn't seem to tell Zhang Liao what he was going to do these things.

And Zhang Liao was speechless when he heard Li Ru's answer, he actually forgot such an important thing, how could he not forget himself.

"Wenyuan, the lord now has a thousand brocade guards for us to use, so the lord asked us to go north as soon as possible and find out the situation in the entire north."

"And the three corpses in front are yours, the Qilin genius and mine, and the three of us."

Li Ru told Zhang Liao the news of his journey north, and the bodies in the three coffins belonged to Li Ru, Zhang Liao, and the legendary Qilin genius Mei Changsu.

As for why this arrangement is made, Li Ru is also thoughtful, since it is to hide people's eyes, he must do the whole play, otherwise it will be easy to goof.

The strategist is also worthy of being a strategist, and he really thinks more thoroughly than Lu Jiuyuan, in Lu Jiuyuan's original plan, only the Qilin genius was killed, and Li Ru and Zhang Liao were all fine at all.

Now that Li Ru has found the bodies of himself and Zhang Liao again, then the court will not suspect that Lu Jiuyuan will arrange for someone to go north in advance.

"However, none of Wen You's three corpses look like me?"

"I can only find people like you in Kyoto, but I can only think of the size and the size you can't find."

Hearing this, Li Ru's face was also dark, in the entire Qingyu City, there was someone who looked as tall and mighty as Zhang Liao, and at most he was about the same size.

"So the third body is mine?"

"Hmm."

Zhang Liao couldn't wait for Li Ru to shake his head, it was really the face of the third corpse that was too ugly, but Li Ru still nodded.

"Okay Wenyuan, isn't it just a corpse, what are you fighting with him, and he is going to be burned, will you still recognize you when the time comes?"

Li Ru naturally knew Zhang Liao's thoughts, and indeed the face of the third corpse was too ugly to look at.

"Be careful for a while, don't let people find out."

Li Ru and Zhang Liao took the carriage around several times, the purpose was to prevent anyone from seeing that the carriage was being transported to the Yuan Mansion.

The evening is the best time, and the common people and merchants generally rest at home or in inns at this time, and few people wander the streets.

Li Ru and Zhang Liao finally waited for a perfect opportunity, and the two of them seized this opportunity to transport all three corpses into the Yuan Mansion.

And Lu Jiuyuan was still in the pavilion of the Yuan Mansion, because Lu Jiuyuan found that the rain was slowly getting heavier, and Lu Jiuyuan had a strong feeling.

This feeling seems to be that something big is about to happen, and it won't be long, it should be the storm that Lu Jiuyuan is waiting for.

"My lord."

When Lu Jiuyuan was thinking the most, Zhang Liao had already come to Lu Jiuyuan's side, and Zhang Liao saw that Lu Jiuyuan had been in a daze and called out a few times.

"Wen Yuan, you're back."

Lu Jiuyuan looked at Zhang Liao, since Zhang Liao is back, it means that Li Ru is also back, and their affairs have been done.

"My lord, everything is in order."

"It's hard work for Wenyou and Wenyuan, right, Wenyou?"

Lu Jiuyuan knew that Zhang Liao and Li Ru had completed the tasks they had arranged, otherwise they would not have come back now, but he didn't see Li Ru and asked Zhang Liao.

"Wen You went to find Miss Mu and said that there was something to explain to Miss Mu."

Well!

Lu Jiuyuan was a little surprised, he didn't expect Li Ru to go north and still think about Mu Hanxue, and he didn't know what Li Ru wanted to say to Mu Hanxue.

On the other side, in the room of wood and snow.

In Kyushu, men can enter the Su woman's room, but they can't do anything excessive, after all, Kyushu doesn't allow such a thing to happen.

"I don't know what happened to Wen Xiansheng looking for a little girl?"

Mu Hanxue looked at Li Ru, not knowing why Li Ru was looking for him, and it seemed that he hadn't made any mistakes.

"I came to find Miss Mu because I had something to trouble Miss Mu."

"I don't know what it is that needs to be spoken?"

Mu Hanxue was also a little confused, what could Li Ru do to his own, in the past few days, Mu Hanxue also knew that Li Ru's talent far surpassed his own, and there should be nothing to do by himself.

"I want Wen Yuan to be away for a few months, so please ask Miss Mu to help take care of the lord."

Li Ru didn't say that he was going there, he just said that he was leaving, and Mu Hanxue was also a smart woman, once Lu Jiuyuan's sealing of the king was completed, she would guess where Li Ru was going.

"Isn't Lu Gongzi good?"

Mu Hanxue knew that Lu Jiuyuan was alive and well now, sitting in the pavilion of the Yuan Mansion every day, and he didn't know what he was thinking, his eyes kept staring at the gate of the Yuan Mansion.

Lu Jiuyuan's appearance is not at all that anyone thinks that something will happen to him, so he still needs someone to take care of him.

"I can't say this clearly for a while, just trouble Miss Mu to take care of the lord when the time comes."

Li Ru saw what Lu Jiuyuan had done in the past few days, first he was a Qilin talent, and now he let himself and Zhang Liao go north.

Li Ru guessed that Lu Jiuyuan would definitely have an accident this time, but it seemed that this accident was all under Lu Jiuyuan's control, so Li Ru was not worried about Lu Jiuyuan's safety.

On the contrary, he was worried about Lu Jiuyuan's life problems, and when he was not in Kyoto, Lu Jiuyuan and Gai Nie beat the beast to eat, and it made sense that there was nothing to worry about.

But in Qingyu City, Li Ru had to worry, the Sword Saint Gai Nie was haunted all day long, but Lu Jiuyuan also had to eat, so it was more reassuring to let Mu Hanxue take care of Lu Jiuyuan.

And let Mu Hanxue take care of Lu Jiuyuan and Li Ru have already thought about it, everything has not been laid out a long time ago, just waiting for Lu Jiuyuan and Mu Hanxue to be willing.

Li Ru handed over the matter of taking care of Lu Jiuyuan to Mu Hanxue and left Mu Hanxue's room, after all, he couldn't stay in Mu Hanxue's room for too long.

And Mu Hanxue still watched Li Ru leave with a confused expression, what did Li Ru mean by this, Mu Hanxue really couldn't guess.

After Zhang Liao and Lu Jiuyuan finished talking about what Zhang Liao and Li Ru did together, they sat next to Lu Jiuyuan and didn't say a word, and Lu Jiuyuan looked at the gate of the Yuan Mansion again.

"Oh, Wenyou, you're here."

"Well, have you made it clear to the lord that something is going on?"

Zhang Liao saw that Li Ru came out so quickly, so he stepped forward and asked, and Li Ru naturally cared about whether Zhang Liao had told Lu Jiuyuan about the matter.

"Wen You." When Zhang Liao spoke, Lu Jiuyuan had already come back to his senses.

"My lord."

Li Ru looked at Lu Jiuyuan, and seemed to see a trace of nostalgia in Lu Jiuyuan's eyes, and there was also some desolation.

It is true that Lu Jiuyuan has some thoughts about the previous home, and thinks about how his biological parents who are still alive are doing now, it has been seven years, and his parents, who are already about forty, are afraid that they are even older.

"Lord, who are you?"

"It's okay, since things have been arranged, when you and Wen Yuan quietly go out of the city, I think you should have a way to get out of the city."

Lu Jiuyuan naturally also discovered some things that Li Ru saw from his eyes, but Li Ru didn't explain it.

However, these Lu Jiuyuan will not tell Li Ru, it is better to let them go north as soon as possible, after all, the later it is, the easier it is to be discovered, as for leaving the city, Lu Jiuyuan believes that Li Ru and Zhang Liao have a way.

"Yes, my lord."

Li Ru knew that Lu Jiuyuan didn't want to say more and it was inconvenient to ask, who didn't have a secret, even if it was Li Ru and had a secret.

So Li Ru and Zhang Liao went to pack the things they needed to go north, not so much to pack up their things, but to put the three corpses in place for Lu Jiuyuan.

However, they remembered Duan Xing, Li Ru and Zhang Liao didn't know what to do, but it was impossible for him to continue to stay in the Yuan Mansion, so they asked Lu Jiuyuan.

However, Lu Jiuyuan didn't think that there was still Duan Xing in the Yuan Mansion, and he thought of Duan Xing's misdeeds, so he ordered Zhang Liao to kill Duan Xing and avenge the unjust death of the common people and officials.

The corpse Lu Jiuyuan asked Zhang Liao to put in the coffin to prevent it from decomposing within a few days, so that Duan Xing could also be cremated with the other three corpses.

At this point, Duan Xing, a famous brother in the capital, ended his life, and there was no longer Duan Xing, the son of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department.
