Chapter 116: Parting Ways
The horse under Lan Zi'an walked like a fly, and Lan Zi'an's face was cold, he had vaguely guessed the result of Tian Laohan and the second elder in his heart, and he just went back to verify it.
Opposite Lan Zi'an, a group of people and horses who were also galloping fast horses ushered in, and they passed by Lan Zi'an in just a moment. The front of this group of people was full of women, and the back was full of men, and in an instant, Lan Zi'an understood that these people were probably those "chasing soldiers". Lan Zi'an tightened the reins in his hand, ignoring the horsepower's urging to beat the horses under him.
It was indeed the people sent by Situ Mansion and Sikong Mansion who passed by Lan Zi'an, and the two teams didn't seem to take the past Lan Zi'an to heart. Ordinary people really don't think that the person who is being hunted down will face it head-on.
After a while, the two teams arrived at the fork in the road. By looking at the map, I found that one of the two roads ahead is to go to the nearest city, Pishi City, and the other road is not populated nearby, only some small towns and small villages.
According to the route Lin Tian and the others had chosen in the past, the pursuers soon chose the road to the less populated road. This is a kind of inertial thinking, Lin Tian escaped from the Canghan Empire before, and he chose to go from a sparsely populated place along the way, so these people still judge the results according to Lin Tian's habits.
The pursuers and Lin Tian chose a different path, which also meant that they would lose Lin Tian forever. This is no more powerful than in the Canghan Empire, and as hostile people of the Teng Kingdom, they still need to be careful not to reveal their identities here.
When Lan Zi'an rushed back to Tian Laohan's shop, the raging fire was still burning, but the fire had begun to slow down. Lan Zi'an held on to his last hope, and shouted Tian Laohan a few times around, but there was no response, so Lan Zi'an was completely dead. Lan Zi'an bowed slowly towards the shop in the sea of fire, he was not in a very good mood at the moment, his face was gloomy, and his fists were clenched.
As a result, it has been learned that the bodies of Tian Laohan and his wife have already been buried in the sea of fire and turned into ashes, so Lan Zi'an did not waste time, turned over the horse, turned around and left.
When Lan Zi'an caught up with Lin Tian and them, they had not yet arrived in Pishi City. When everyone saw Lan Zi'an coming back, they all asked, "It's good, it's fine." Lan Zi'an's tone was a little weak, and he didn't have a loud voice when he used to speak. Several people present who had fast brains all saw Lan Zi'an's abnormality.
"Where's Madoka?"
Lan Zi'an rode to the side of the car and asked Wu Yao, who poked his head out, "This kid is tired and sleeping!" Lan Zi'an let out a soft "um" and wanted to step forward with Lin Tian and them.
"Brother Lan, Madoka's grandparents and them?"
Wu Yao didn't say it after all, Lan Zi'an sighed softly: "When Xiaoyuan wakes up, you can let him follow us in the future, and just talk about what his grandparents said." ”
Lan Zi'an left a sentence and went to find Lin Tian. How could Wu Yao not understand what Lan Zi'an meant, looking at Xiao Yuan in his arms, his red little face, and fan-like eyelashes, he was very cute, if it weren't for a few scars on his face, it would be even better. Looking at such a cute child, Wu Yao also felt heartache for him, why is such a cute child's life so bitter?
Lan Zi'an came to Lin Tian's side and explained everything to Lin Tian, Lin Tian sighed deeply, feeling guilty in his heart, speaking of which, he still affected Tian Laohan's family. "Let the boy follow us and tell him this when he is older." Lan Zi'an nodded, indicating that this is the only way to do it for now.
"Young master, let me take care of Xiaoyuan in the future, I will treat him as my own brother, the same as Xiuyuan." Suddenly, a small head stretched out from Lin Tian's chest, which startled Lan Zi'an. It was already winter, and it was getting colder the further north they went, so they were already dressed in their coats to protect themselves from the cold.
Lin Tian was wearing this gray-white fur coat, and when he held the reins in both hands, he would also prop up the clothes on his chest, so Lan Zi'an hadn't noticed that Lin Tian was still hiding someone in his arms.
"Lin Tian, you... This ......"
Lan Zi'an was taken aback, what was the situation, why would Mannie be in Lin Tian's arms. Seeing the different colors cast by Lan Zi'an, Mannie immediately shrank back like a tightened rabbit. Lin Tian was very embarrassed, this is really hard to explain, Lin Tian smiled helplessly.
"It's not Madoka who is here, and I can't sit in the car, so Mannie comes out." Lu Qianqian saw Lin Tian's embarrassment and explained for him.
Lan Zi'an drove his horse to Lu Qianqian's side and moved a few positions, and his body was close to Lu Qianqian, "Then why isn't she right away from you?" Lu Qianqian rolled her eyes back at Lan Zi'an, "People are not happy, people like to follow him, young master, what do you care so much, are you jealous." ”
"Oh, I... What do I have to be jealous of, I'm just curious, ask a few words, why are you so angry. ”
"You have to take care of it."
Lan Zi'an touched Lu Qianqian's nose and returned in a hurry, "Brother Lin, what's wrong with her, who provoked her again?" Lin Tian shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
In fact, Lin Tian also roughly understood the reason why Lu Qianqian was angry. When Mannie wanted to come out and ride a horse with the two of them, Lu Qianqian took the initiative to invite, but unfortunately Mannie was reluctant and asked to be on the same horse as Lin Tian, and Mannie's eyes were full of fear for Lu Qianqian. Maybe this is the reason why Lu Qianqian is not happy, just when Lan Zi'an asked her about the sore spot, she became angry.
So on the way from Lan Zi'an's departure, Lin Tian didn't dare to take the initiative to open his mouth to talk to Lu Qianqian. Lin Tian also knew this girl's temper, and most of them were still angry at this time. In the end, it is Lu Qianqian's childish temper, and her inner self-esteem is strong, and in the face of Mannie's energy choice to ride with Lin Tian, the opposite sex, rather than with her beautiful sister, she is not convinced, and she is very unhappy.
Fortunately, this situation will not last long, Lin Tian has already made plans, as soon as he enters the city, he will change to a big carriage, and then he can go to the top from time to time to rest, and let him ride a horse, after a long time, it is more or less tiring, how can he be comfortable in a carriage.
Regarding what Mannie said just now, taking care of Xiaoyuan and Xiuyuan together, Lin Tian had no objection at all. With Mannie, a good sister, taking care of Madoka at all times, Lin Tian is very relieved. Lin Tian knew that he would not be as free as he was now when he returned to Beiyi, so he was very grateful for Mannie's actions, and at the same time alleviated a trace of guilt towards Madoka in his heart. Xiao Yuan and Xiao Xiuyuan also happen to have a companion together, the age difference between the two of them is not much, and when the time comes, they can be handed over to the old man to practice martial arts together, and there is Manni to take care of them in life, this arrangement makes Lin Tian feel that it is already perfect.
Then Lan Zi'an told Lin Tian about the group of people he had seen, and Lin Tian was also very puzzled in his heart, but the group was full of women, which made Lin Tian inadvertently think of the flower fairy and Yu Ling'er. In Lin Tian's impression, every time he went to the second floor to look for the flower fairy, there were women around him and outside the house, and those people were not like ordinary maids and servants, but more like her thugs, subordinates,
Could it be the message that the flower fairy sent me? Such a thought was born in Lin Tian's heart, but she couldn't understand the reason for this, why did she let him go and send someone to hunt him down, isn't it very contradictory? This question is so contradictory, which makes Lin Tian very entangled.
Fortunately, Lan Zi'an said a good news, which made Lin Tian feel relieved. When Lan Zi'an came back to chase Lin Tian and them, he didn't meet that group of people, so that group of people must have gone another way, and this news was the best news Lin Tian had heard during this time.
At present, Lin Tian's plan is to rush back to Yidi as soon as possible, it is not safe outside, and only his own one-third of an acre of land is safe, and he doesn't know what happened to Beiyi, he has been away from Beiyi for more than three months. To be honest, Lin Tian still misses Beiyi very much, for him, Beiyi is his hometown in this world, and the feeling of home is always so nostalgic.
Lin Tian continued to walk north for more than a month, and finally entered the realm of the Phantom Flame Country. Coming to the country of Phantom Flame is not far from Beiyi, the north is colder than the south, at this time everyone is wrapped in thick clothes, and the outside of the carriage is wrapped in city fur to resist some wind and cold, after all, the child's body is still weaker.
Facing Xiao Yuan, Wu Yao had to fool Xiao Yuan to believe that it was his grandparents who entrusted him to them. Children, whoever is good to him, he will believe whom, his mind is so simple, not to mention that in Xiaoyuan's heart, he has long regarded Wu Yao as his closest person.
Lin Tian's remaining goal was to rush to Phantom Phoenix City, the capital of the Phantom Flame Country, and from there they would take a boat to Beiyi, which was relatively fast and comfortable. There is still more than half a month to go from the border of the Phantom Yan Country to Phantom Phoenix City, Lin Tian set off from the end of last autumn, and it has been almost five months since he went back and added the days spent in Dangchang City. Lin Tian calculated, when they took a boat north from Fushui, the waterway should also be restored.
Lin Tian and the others saw that they were about to reach their destination, and the situation was very good at the moment, but there was a group of people who were not very good. The people sent by Situ Mansion and Sikong Mansion to pursue Lin Tian wandered around the territory of Tengguo for more than half a month, without any gain, and finally returned in vain. Faced with no good results from them, whether it was Situ or Sikong, there was no spare hand for these subordinates who had returned in vain.
Situ Shangguan Shaowen was the heaviest attacker, and the people sent to chase and kill Lin Tian did not leave a single living mouth, but Sikong Ruidong still left some friendship. Only the leader was executed, and the rest were exiled.
Shangguan Shaowen and Ruidong were very annoyed by this, and Lin Tian's escape also meant that the method of making those weapons would be a mystery, and how could they explain to Emperor Chunyu. Even if Ruidong is the first person in charge, he Shangguan Shaowen can't escape joint and several responsibility, who let Ruidong be recommended by his Shangguan Shaowen? You don't know people, and Emperor Chun Yu will definitely not carry the responsibility of using people improperly, and this pot can only be carried by recommended people.
In the past few days, Ruidong has frequently entered and exited Situ Mansion, and has discussed with Shangguan Shaowen many times what to do next. For a while, neither of them could come up with a good idea, they only hoped that Emperor Chun Yu would remember this matter later, or forget about it. The time limit stipulated by Emperor Chunyu has passed, and Emperor Chunyu has been inspecting the armies in the field during this time, so the two can still meet here safely to discuss, and when Emperor Chunyu returns to the capital, I am afraid it will be the end of the two.
