Chapter 572: Seeing Death and Not Saving It
Not long after the two lived in harmony, a bad news came.
"General, the general is not good! The prince spread the bad news, saying that the group of adults had promised to arrive in ten days, but now they were nowhere to be seen, and there was not even a letter. Could it be that the general is the one who released our pigeons? β
The person who spoke was Lu Yi's little maid Summer.
Lu Yike couldn't care about this, so he hurriedly rushed outside, and immediately headed towards the prince's mansion after getting on the horse.
I thought it was a prank, but unfortunately, it wasn't as simple as he thought.
The leader really didn't arrive.
After thinking about the time, the leader was supposed to arrive half a month ago, but now he didn't see a figure, which made Lu Yi think of a bad thing.
Many dead men came to the door, seeking news from the prince about their boss.
But even the crown prince knew nothing, so how could he tell them?
Now, the prince can only find Lu Yi to solve this matter.
As soon as Lu Yi entered the door, the prince dragged his hand to the side and whispered about the consequences of this incident.
Lu Yi nodded to show that he understood, and asked the prince, "Your Royal Highness the prince, now that this group of people has not arrived, I'm afraid there was an accident on the road, so it's better to set off today and return to the way to see who kidnapped them." β
"Then you're going to have to work hard! And be careful on the road. β
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can rest assured, and he will go back when he goes down."
Lu Yi said that he understood, and then got on the horse, and left Kyoto without even telling Yun Jinxi, who was still sleeping.
After a day's search, Lu Yi probably knew where the group of people had gone.
Looking at the dried blood stains on the ground, Lu Yi squatted down, rubbed the blood stains sticking to the dust on the ground, frowned, and felt bad.
Not far away, a black shadow suddenly flashed over, and Lu Yi immediately followed.
The black shadow obviously knew that Lu Yi was behind, and he always stopped immediately when Lu Yi didn't follow, but when he found that the people behind him were about to catch up, he immediately ran fast.
This guy!
Lu Yi scolded in his heart, but he was out of breath, and followed the other party to a small wooden house a few kilometers away in a daze.
The man stopped, and his agile and agile figure fell directly in front of him.
Although Lu Yi is also a martial arts practitioner, where can he compare to the boy in front of him who has practiced martial arts for more than ten years, he frowned tightly and asked, "What are you bringing me here for?" Where's your boss? β
"The boss was arrested by your people in Kyoto, could it be that this matter is not known? I know that you are watching the ability of our dead soldiers, but I tell you, our dead soldiers are also human beings, living people, not that they will be used by you simply by you, you can rest assured, when we are injured, we will go back to the stone cave, tell the master about your, and let them expel you royal people from the rivers and lakes. β
"Wait!"
Looking at the man in front of him crackling and saying a lot, Lu Yi just looked at him with a confused expression, and asked rhetorically, "What do you mean that we are using you, I don't know what's going on with this matter at all, I also obey your boss's wishes, waiting for you in Kyoto, if it weren't for you not arriving on time, I wouldn't have come out to look for you." β
Lu Yi asked rhetorically, but seeing the man's face full of disbelief, he snorted lightly.
"Impossible! The man who grabbed the boss before meant his own name, that is, the crown prince of the royal family, aren't you working for the prince? How? I don't dare to admit my identity now. β
"What I said is true! I don't know what you're talking about, and you can think about it, if I really knew about it, then I would just die and not save it, and besides, your hundred brothers are all in Kyoto, and I can't fool you about this matter. β
The man was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that he seemed to be thinking that things were a little too simple.
Oh, yes! Didn't the brothers follow this man back to Kyoto? If the brothers were still alive, then he would have misunderstood people, but who was the one who grabbed the boss, and why was he so bold?
Seeing that the man's face was a little relaxed, Lu Yi then asked, "Do you remember what the person who kidnapped your boss looked like?" β
"He's wearing a mask, who knows?" The man shouted indignantly.
With a mask?
After thinking about it, Lu Yi seemed to have guessed that person.
There is indeed one person in the royal family who loves the mask the most, and it can even be said that he is a mask collector.
That person isβ
King of the Creek.
But how could King Xi be so bold, although in broad daylight, his actions did make Lu Yi feel a little confused, but if this matter really has something to do with King Xi, then his purpose is only one, that is, to give them a downturn, and prevent them from doing the most important thing in this plan!
If so, then the King of the Creek will be dead this time!
Lu Yi's eyes crossed a trace of indignation, he frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he looked at the man.
"Then does he mean taking your boss away?" Lu Yi asked again.
"Nope! We and the boss are walking one after the other, after the boss has an accident, the gang of people who followed the boss, the dead and the wounded, I roughly counted the people who followed the boss and was arrested, there should be about a hundred people! And the remaining dozen or so brothers died. β
Although I don't know if the brothers are not able to do it, the man just feels angry!
This group of people is hiding in the grass, and they are also specially here to sneak attack them, in this case, it is better to kill them directly, why do you have to do so many superfluous things?
"I see!" Lu Yi nodded, looked at him, and showed a sincere expression, "I want to ask, the brothers who followed you, where did they go?" β
The man pointed to the cabin behind him, showed a helpless expression, and sighed lightly, "Most of our team were not injured, but because when the boss was arrested, several brothers were discovered, and we wanted to save the boss, but we were chased and killed by the other party's people, so a few brothers rested inside, and the other brothers, I also let them stay inside." β
"How many of you are there?"
"A thousand! There were about 500 people who stayed here, and 500 brothers went out to pick some fruit and came back. β
Fruit picking?
It seems that they did not dare to leave this place, for fear of being captured by the King of the Creek.
Lu Yi said loudly, "Then I'll wait with you!" When the time comes, I'll take you into the imperial capital! Now that I'm alone, if you really don't believe me, you can kill me. β
