It's easy to look forward to the rooster crowing, and the first morning light appeared in the sky outside the window, and Lai Xing couldn't wait to push the door and walk out of the duty room, wanting to urge Dong Laocheng to take himself to his mother's grave to pay respects.

The eunuch who brought the soup cakes last night got up earlier than Lai Xing'er, and was sweeping the courtyard with a broom.

When he saw Lai Xing'er, he hurriedly stepped forward and greeted: "My lord, are you in a hurry to go to the back mountain to worship your ancestors?" ”

Lai Xing'er only said that Dong Laocheng had confessed to him last night, and then arched his hand and said, "Exactly." The annoying father-in-law went to tell Master Dong a message, and he thought about it and couldn't wait for the light of day. ”

"Then please wait here for a while, and let Xiao Xiao wake up Lord Dong."

I don't think that once the eunuch is gone, he has not returned for more than an hour.

Seeing that the sun had risen, Lai Xing'er was very anxious, and was about to leave the hospital to find Dong Laocheng in person, but saw Dong Laocheng and the eunuch walking into the courtyard one after another.

"The back mountain is about ten miles away from here, and our family has ordered someone to prepare the horses and everything, let's go." Dong Laocheng understood Lai Xing'er's mood at this time, and as soon as he entered the hospital, he said directly.

Two horses have been prepared outside the hospital. After a night's rest, the little white dragon looked extraordinarily energetic. When it saw its master come out, it raised its neck and let out a cheerful neigh, and there was a faint sound of a dragon's groan, and it was startled that the other horse, which was standing side by side, "stomped" a few steps backwards, and almost stumbled under his feet.

"Sure enough, it's a divine horse, from the capital to here, running down for three hundred miles, and I can't see any fatigue." Dong Laocheng took a few steps, grabbed the reins of his mount, turned over on the horse, and turned around and rushed to Xing'er to praise.

Lai Xing'er flew on his horse and made a gesture to ask Dong Laocheng to go first. The two horses galloped away in the direction of the back hill.

Tiantai Mountain is steep, the scenery is beautiful, it is midsummer, the mountain road from Jiucheng Palace to the back mountain is thick shade smacking the ground, a hundred birds chirp, people feel as if they are in a fairyland.

However, Lai Xing'er had no intention of looking at the scenery along the way, and only hoped to reach her mother's grave earlier.

The two horses bypassed the two mountain beams, and there was a sudden roar of water in Lai Xing'er's ears. Following the prestige, it turned out to be a waterfall hanging high on the cliff in front of it.

"You see, there is a pine forest next to that waterfall, and the graves of the people who died in the Forbidden City are in the pine forest." Dong Laocheng raised the horsewhip in his hand and said to Lai Xing'er.

High cliffs and waterfalls, pine and cypress. Seeing her mother buried in such a place, Lai Xing'er felt a little relieved. He clamped his legs between the ribs of the horse, and the little white dragon walked towards the pine forest with broken steps.

Sure enough, as Dong Laocheng said, the small pine forest was densely packed with graves, and only a few of them had tombstones in front of them.

The two dismounted outside the pine forest. Dong Laocheng led Lai Xing'er all the way to the end of the pine forest, and stopped in front of a tomb without a monument and only a white flag.

Lai Xing'er knew that this must be her mother's grave, her nose was sore, and she couldn't help shedding two lines of tears, and she didn't wait for Dong Laocheng to speak, so she stepped forward and threw herself down in front of the grave and cried loudly......

He cried for a long time, and then remembered that Dong Laocheng was still standing behind him, and when he turned his head to look, he was shocked into a cold sweat.

I saw Dong Laocheng leaning on the trunk of a pine tree, with a flying knife stuck in his head, blood dripping down his cheeks, and the green official robe he was wearing had been dyed red.

"Whoosh".

Out of nowhere, two more flying knives were shot, and they grazed close to Lai Xing'er's side, and one of them shot on the white banner that was held on the grave, and immediately knocked the white flag into the air.

Lai Xing'er lowered his body, jumped in front of Dong Laocheng with a tiger step, shook his shoulders vigorously and called: "Lord Dong, Lord Dong wake up quickly......

However, no matter how Lai Xing'er called, Dong Laocheng had already died of anger, and he could still wake up.

"Boy, the scenery here is good, you are fortunate to be buried here today, and it can be regarded as a fulfillment of your filial piety."

Seven or eight black-clothed masked men appeared out of nowhere, surrounded Lai Xing'er, and one of the leaders said with a cruel smile.

"Who are you? Why did you kill Lord Dong? Lai Xing'er held Dong Laocheng's body in his arms and asked angrily.

The masked man at the head of the group held a long sword in his hand, and forced Lai Xing'er step by step, and replied disapprerovingly: "Gentlemen are here for you today, this old man is just your ghost who accompanies the dead." What do you think? Do you decide it yourself, or do you want to do it yourself? ”

Lai Xing'er stopped his grief, gently put Dong Laocheng's body in his arms on the ground, picked up a pine hazelnut that fell from the ground next to the tree and held it in his palm, slowly stood up, and pretended to beg the masked man: "Uncle, I can't bear to be sad and sad for my mother to see my parents and children killed. Can you find another place, kill yourself willingly, and accompany your mother under the nine springs? ”

The big man listened to his words very earnestly, and his words were reasonable, so he turned his head and looked around, trying to find a suitable place for Lai Xing'er to commit suicide.

Taking advantage of his distraction, Lai Xing'er aimed at a masked man who was blocking the way, waved his hand and threw the pine cone in his palm towards his front door, and then pounced on the man.

Before the man could react, Lai Xing'er snatched the short knife in his hand with lightning speed, and ran towards the little white dragon outside the pine forest.

The masked man at the head let out a roar of rage, and everyone chased after him.

Just when Lai Xing'er was about to run to the little white dragon's side, the thinnest and most agile of the masked men struggled to catch up, brandishing the short knife in his hand and slashing at Lai Xing'er's head.

It was too late, it was too fast, and at the last moment, the little white dragon let out an angry hiss, and the tall man stood up, raised his two front hooves, and kicked the thin masked man to the ground. Lai Xing'er took advantage of the situation and jumped on horseback, and whispered to the little white dragon: "Little white dragon, go quickly." ”

The thin masked man was also really good, and he was hit by the little white dragon's hoof, but instead of being injured, a carp immediately jumped up, jumped forward, and hugged Lai Xing'er's right foot with both hands.

Seeing that the other masked people were shouting and rushing over, Lai Xing'er was in a hurry, and he couldn't care much, leaned over on the horse's back, grabbed the back of the thin masked man's neck, and lifted it up with all his might, and actually lifted the masked man in the air, put it on the horse's back, and fled in the wilderness.

The little white dragon ran along the rugged and winding mountain road for more than an hour, and Lai Xing'er looked back behind him, and saw that the masked men had not been able to catch up, so he breathed a sigh of relief. (To be continued.) )
