Chapter 63: Goodbye
Night fell on Chengdu, the capital of Shu Kingdom, where the hustle and bustle was still there, and on this night when the atmosphere seemed a little strange, there were many unfamiliar faces on the streets of Chengdu who were rushing around.
In a long-abandoned dilapidated temple on the outskirts of Chengdu, Lu Lingxuan, who had fallen asleep due to too much fatigue, slowly woke up. She tried to move her slightly numb hands and feet, but suddenly found a dark red men's shirt draped over her body, and several skin injuries on her body had been treated and bandaged.
Lu Lingxuan looked at his right side in surprise, Ling Rui was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed at this time, resting and regulating the true qi in his body.
Under the reflection of the bonfire, Lu Lingxuan saw Ling Rui's handsome and stylish face with clear eyebrows and eyes so closely for the first time, and recalled the scene when Ling Rui sacrificed his life to save her from Juyi Village not long ago, this face actually made her suddenly have a heart-pounding feeling in an instant.
"Hey, Miss Lu, you're awake." As Lu Lingxuan stared at the flickering flames in front of her, a pleasant greeting came from her side. She looked slowly towards her side in surprise and shyness, and Ling Rui didn't know when she had woken up and gazed at her tenderly with caring eyes.
"Brother Ling, thank you for saving me today and helping me bandage my wounds, I ......" Lu Lingxuan said with a shy blush, but soon she was a little speechless and stopped, "By the way, what about Sister Ouyang?" Brother Ling should have rescued her too, right? ”
"Miss Lu, don't worry, Xiaohe, she's fine, she has already returned to Yizhuang to save Xiahou and regretted it, I believe that with her skills, she should be able to come back soon." Ling Rui said with a proud look on his face.
After listening to Ling Rui's words, Lu Lingxuan immediately felt a little happy and lost, happy that the three of them plus Ling Rui were able to retreat from the chaos of Juyizhuang, and what was lost was that she suddenly realized that Sister Ouyang, whom she admired the most, was the most important person in Ling Rui's heart from beginning to end.
"Hehe, really, my father has died tragically at the hands of those thieves, and I am still thinking about these illusory things here." Lu Lingxuan stretched out her right hand to cover her forehead, and melancholy and sadness filled her mood at the moment.
At the same time, on the other side, Ouyang He, who had changed into a night suit, also returned to Juyizhuang. Because the beggars were searching for the traces of Lu Lingxuan and others outside the city under the leadership of Elder Chen, who was armed with a dog-beating stick, the Juyi Village at this time was guarded by Meng Yan and Tiger Mei, as well as more than a dozen masked people under the other Lingquan Cave Mansion.
Ouyang He cautiously jumped into the village from outside a low unguarded wall, and then she relied on her memory to find a possible hiding place in the Juyi Village. However, although she still felt a little puzzled that this section of the wall was unguarded, what she didn't expect was that this section of the wall was actually guarded by Meng Yan himself.
At this time, Meng Yan, who was pouring wine and drinking in his hideout, originally thought that Lu Lingxuan, who was eager for revenge, would be the first to return here, but when he saw this elegant figure that he would never mistakenly recognize, he was inevitably a little taken aback.
"It's He'er, how did she come back here?" Meng Yan, who was secretly asking questions in his heart, gently put down the wine jug in his hand, and then he stood up and followed behind Ouyang He carefully.
"Little regret, little regret, are you there?" Ouyang He entered the dark room one by one and asked in a low voice, "Xiahou regrets, if you are here, you will promise my sister." ”
"Xiahou regrets?!" Ouyang He's inadvertent name made Meng Yan take aback, he didn't expect that his method of being able to lead out Xiahou Xu appeared in front of him like pie in the sky.
"Is it Sister He? I am here! After searching several rooms one by one, Ouyang He finally found Xia Hou Cheng hiding under the table in a place that seemed to be a kitchen.
However, just as the two of them were happily preparing to escape from here hand in hand, a black shadow suddenly jumped into the house from the window, he picked up Xiahou Cheng and sprinkled some white powdery things towards Ouyang He, and then quickly left the house accompanied by Xiahou regret's cry.
Ouyang He reacted and quickly chased after him, and followed the black shadow who took away Xiahou Cheng into a side room that was so black that he couldn't see his fingers.
After she cautiously fumbled around the room for a while, the lights in the room suddenly turned on one after another. Just as Ouyang He was surprised, a group of masked warriors appeared from all corners of the room one after another, and immediately surrounded Ouyang He among them.
The black-clothed man who was holding Xia Hou Cheng hostage walked out of a secret room in the room at this time, and this secret room was where Lu Lin had stored important items such as dog beating sticks before.
The man in black looked at Ouyang He affectionately with complicated eyes, and then he slowly took off the metal mask on his face.
"Meng Gongzi?! How...... Could it be you? Ouyang He couldn't help but exclaim after seeing the appearance of the person in front of him. She originally thought that Meng Yan had been kidnapped from Wang Dong's house by a certain Jianghu force and had her personal freedom restricted, but she carefully looked at Meng Yan, who appeared in front of her and was surrounded and protected by masked people, and suddenly felt a little puzzled.
On the other hand, the tiger charm, who heard the movement, also rushed here and cut off Ouyang He's retreat at the door of the house.
"Hmph, you girl is so bold that you dare to come back here alone. It's okay, the old account that you attacked me in the bamboo forest before and made me ugly, I'll settle it with you now. After Hu Mei finished speaking, he showed his weapon and prepared to fight Ouyang He again.
"General Tiger, please wait a minute." Meng Yan stopped Hu Mei anxiously and a little worriedly at this time, "Please, let her go, as long as this little girl is in my hands, it is enough." ”
"Meng Gongzi, what are you talking about? I've been very worried about you since I heard about you in Wanzhou, why are you with these people? Ouyang He looked at Meng Yan, who lowered his head and was silent, and asked in a very concerned tone.
"Hehe, let me tell you, all this he did was for you!" Tiger Mei stared at Meng Yan with contemptuous eyes, and then said to Ouyang He.
"What? For me? You said he killed so many people in the Beggar Gang for me? From his own point of view, Ouyang He felt that the tiger charm's statement was a bit ridiculous.
"Okay, Miss Ouyang doesn't need to say much, you should leave quickly, otherwise these people here will probably not let you go." Although Meng Yan's eyes were still gentle when he looked at Ouyang He, he forcibly made his tone of speech serious.
"Meng Gongzi, Meng Yan, you are about to release Miss Xiahou, do you really know what you are doing?" Ouyang He said quickly very anxiously, and at the same time, there was obviously a slight cry in her voice, "I know that you have suffered a lot during this time, if you have any pain or resentment and want to vent, just come to me, let go of Miss Xiahou, please!" ”
"He'er......" Ouyang He's heartfelt words made Meng Yan suddenly feel a trace of hesitation and hesitation for a while, his eyes became slightly fluttering, and the right hand that was holding the knife against Xiahou Cheng's neck gradually became a little trembling.
"Commander Meng, don't forget your identity!" Tiger Mei's sudden sharp reminder immediately pulled Meng Yan back from his trance.
"Master Ouyang Zhuang, I'm afraid you don't know yet, Brother Meng is now the chief disciple of the Lingquan Cave Mansion of Shenyue Mountain, and at the same time, he is also one of the four major leaders of the Wind Thunder Hall, and the big celebrity in front of the Wang Da Lord. In the future, maybe he will still be a popular candidate to succeed the leader of Fenglei Hall, hehe! Tiger Mei continued to add fuel and vinegar to the side.
"You say...... What the? Meng Gong...... Meng Yan, did you really join the Wind Thunder Hall? Do you know how unscrupulous the people in the Wind Thunder Hall are to achieve their goals, let's just say that in the battle of the Ghost Castle not long ago, not only the heads of the seven major sects, but even Yuxin, who once saved you, has already died in their hands. I didn't force you to help me avenge Xin'er, but how could you be so abusive and serve the scum of the rivers and lakes that everyone has to do? ...... the hell Is it still the upright, chivalrous and courageous Meng Yan Shaoxia I know? Ouyang He immediately felt a little angry when she heard Meng Yan's current identity, so she immediately questioned Meng Yan who was standing in front of her.
"Miss Ouyang, please don't say it again, today it's me Meng who is sorry for you, Xiahou regret is my perfect bait to lure Xiahou Xu to take revenge, I won't let her go no matter what!" Meng Yan's eyes as he looked at Ouyang He gradually began to change, and at the same time, he moved the sharp blade in his hand closer to Xiahou Cheng's neck, "If you don't leave Juyizhuang again, I will let the little girl Xiahou immediately turn into a corpse!" ”
"Meng Yan, you ......" Ouyang He's grief in her heart gradually deepened, she really couldn't imagine that the Meng Yan she knew before who had a heroic aura had now become the villain in front of her who made her feel extremely strange and disgusted.
"Okay, as long as you promise not to hurt Miss Xiahou, I'll ...... Let's go! ”
Seeing that blood was oozing from Xiahou's neck, in order to avoid continuing to irritate Meng Yan, who was now emotionally unstable, Ouyang He had to slowly retreat towards the house with reluctance but helplessness.
While Ouyang He's complicated eyes gradually receded, no one noticed that at this time, a crystal tear silently flashed in the corner of Meng Yan's eyes.
And in the process of retreating, Ouyang He accidentally noticed that the eyes of a masked man covering her mouth and nose on her left made her feel a sense of déjà vu, and this feeling became especially strong when the masked man stared at her. Ouyang He quickly came up with a plan, and after pretending to leave Juyizhuang, she quietly and quickly turned back to prepare to investigate the true identity of the masked man.
The hard work paid off, and after Ouyang He kept an eye on the slightly strange masked man on the roof without anyone noticing, he finally waited for him to quietly send a carrier pigeon near the stable.
Ouyang He then used his light skills to quickly grab the carrier pigeon and carefully opened the letter paper in the letterhead.
"This sneaky person turned out to be Han Yi!" Ouyang He instantly felt a hint of surprise after seeing the signature of the letterhead, it turned out that this was a short letter written by Han Yi to the second master Bai Lichen about the recent situation of Meng Yan and Tiger Charm.
After a short period of rough thinking, a strategy that might be able to achieve the effect of killing two birds with one stone was gradually roughly planned in Ouyang He's mind.
At the same time, Ouyang He, who was suddenly open for a while, was also quickly rushing back towards the dilapidated house where Ling Rui and Lu Lingxuan were, she wanted to tell the two of them the situation in Juyi Village at this stage as soon as possible, as well as the next plan and intention that she had deeply conceived.
