Chapter 12 Twilight Autumn, the Way of the Planter

A round of red said hangs on the West Mountain, ups and downs, as if it will fall into the mountain at any time, pulling a black curtain between heaven and earth. Autumn is thick, the cold wind is bleak, and the flowers and leaves fall when it blows......

Under the oblique shadow of the setting sunset, on the official road five miles southwest of Luoyang City.

She Yi staggered out of a bush, his hair was disheveled, his eyes were red and swollen, his left thigh was red, and he held a dagger in his left hand, which was stained with blood. Every few steps, he would stab him in the thigh with a knife, and if anyone passed by and saw him, they would think he was a madman.

At this moment, his brain was dizzy, and he always thought that he could survive in the forest near the West Garden outside the West Gate, but unexpectedly, he underestimated the surname of this drug. As soon as he walked out of Tiger Villa, his legs were like 10,000 catties of lead balls, and his brain was even more swollen and dizzy, and he would faint at any time...... He stabbed too much in the thigh, numb and unconscious.

As soon as I arrived at the side of the official road, my feet went limp, I fell to the ground, and I couldn't stand up anymore......

……

A carriage slowly moved from the distant twilight, and soon appeared at the end of the line of sight.

The wheels of the carriage squeaked as they rolled along the ancient road, and it was clear that the carriage had traveled a long way. The driver of the car was a man about thirty or forty years old, wearing a plain black robe, with a mustache, a kind and kind face, like the loyal butler who swore to follow his master in many novels and movies, and gave him a close-up at the opening, the family was wiped out by the enemy, in the wilderness, the big housekeeper desperately held the only living little master, and was caught up by the enemy and sacrificed his life for righteousness, before hacking to death, he must say: Little master, you have to live well and avenge the old lady!

……

"Wen Lie, where are you?"

An old, tired voice came from inside the carriage.

"Master, I have arrived near Houhe Village, five miles away from Luoyang City."

The coachman replied calmly.

"Houhe Village? Coming into town, alas, still back......"

The voice of the old man in the carriage was full of helplessness, sadness, loss, and faint remembrance......

"Master, the ups and downs of life in the world are the norm, just let go."

The coachman shook his head slightly, and persuaded him.

Cai Lao'er left and right the court, forcibly classified the old man into the list of Yuan You, and dismissed the official for ten years. Less than half a year after his comeback, he was framed by thieves again...... Anyway, the old man broke off this thought, but he was dead. ”

The old man in the carriage slowly closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

The person in the carriage was a famous breeder, and his great-grandfather was also a well-known hermit in the early Song Dynasty. When he was young, he was taught by the philosopher Zhang Zaimen, and served in the third class from the ancestral official Yin, and was sentenced to Yuanzhou, because of the new law of Wang Anshi, he was immunized against the people, so he transferred to the Deshun Army, and in the first year of Suining, he was included in the Yuan You Party by Cai Jing, a powerful minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, and was dismissed from office for nearly ten years. This time, the official was reinstated, and he was dismissed again after taking office for less than half a year.

All kinds of grievances and emotions are only for Cai Lao'er!

"Master, there is a young man lying under an old tree on the right in front, I don't know if he is dead or alive......"

The driver of the carriage screamed, grabbed the carriage, and his eyes stayed on the young man on the side of the road.

The old man in the carriage lifted the curtain of the small window and glanced at the willow tree on the right, under the willow tree, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy was lying quietly on the road, his face was bloodless, his lips were white, and he held a dagger in his hand, the dagger was stuck in his thigh, and the red blood stained his robe.

"Wen Lie, go over and take a look, if there is still a life, move him to the carriage, if he is already dead, he will still lie there, and the government officials will deal with it."

The seed master said flatly, he was a civilian in his early years, and later turned to a military position, and he saw too much life and death on the battlefield, and he would not be surprised or overwhelmed by a dead man lying on the road.

"Master, I'll go over and have a look!"

The coachman Wen Lie got out of the carriage, walked under the tree on the side of the road, squatted down and looked at the unconscious young man on the ground, just as his hand was about to reach the young man's nostrils, the young man's eyes suddenly opened, and he pulled out the dagger on his thigh with a pop and stabbed at Wen Lie unexpectedly......

Wen Lie was startled, dodged, turned over and grabbed the young man's wrist with a grappling...... The boy's brow furrowed, his eyes slowly closed, and with a thud, the dagger fell to the ground.

"The cunning thief, looking for death, actually plotted against Wen!"

Wen Lie threw a punch at the young man's head......

"Stop!"

After Wen Lie heard this shout, his fist was retracted when it was less than an inch or so away from the young man's forehead. It was the Seed Master Dao who shouted to stop, he got out of the carriage and was two or three meters behind Wen Lie.

"Master, this cunning thief is plotting against Wen...... Let Wen smash this thief to death with a certain punch! ”

Wen Lie turned his head and glanced at the Seed Master.

"If he really killed you, you would have died! Stand up and see what he is holding in his left hand. ”

The seed master said calmly.

Wen Lie stood up, glanced at the young man's other hand hidden in his robe suspiciously, and held a cold, sharp dagger in his hand...... A few drops of cold sweat broke out on his forehead...... Judging from the posture of the young man holding the knife, the moment he grabbed his right wrist just now, this left hand stabbed out suddenly, just stabbing into his chest without any obstruction.

"Sir, he'...... Did I see you, that's why I didn't make a move? ”

The Seed Master Dao shook his head.

"He saw that the old man would save him, so he didn't hurt you. Carry him to the carriage, he has such a scheming at a young age, he is not an ordinary person, I don't know who he was hurt......"

"Master, if he's a bad guy......"

Wen Lie hesitated a little, he was not only the coachman of the Planter Dao, but also his personal guard, in just a short flick of his fingers, his surname was in the hands of this young man and walked back and forth, if he woke up, it would be unfavorable to his old master Planter, the consequences would be unimaginable......

"You think too much, although Cai Lao'er has to deal with the old decay, there is no need to use such a crude trick. Since this little baby believed in the old man, the old man also believed in him once. ”

The planter turned around and walked towards the carriage

"Okay...... His subordinates moved him to the carriage......"

……

The carriage walked slowly along the official road and gradually disappeared at the end of the official road...... The setting of the western mountains gradually sank, and the twilight was like a mist, and it became dim.

At this moment, two men dressed in blue and white appeared and walked out of the grass, their eyes resting on the old tree.

There was a shallow pool of blood underneath the old tree, which had congealed for a while, apparently for a while. I looked around and didn't see any traces.

"Leng Zhutou, according to the bloodstains we saw along the way, this man has arrived here. With such strong willpower, ordinary people can't walk a hundred meters if they lose their hearts, he can actually hold on here, and it is probably three or four miles away from Tiger Mountain Villa. ”

These two men were none other than Yan Chi, who had been in the Tiger Villa before, and it was Yan Chi who spoke, with an unbelievable expression on his face.

"It's really not easy...... This case is a bit difficult...... I'm afraid it's not your and my power that can crack it. ”

……

Twilight fell, and a hook of oblique moon hung in the sky, hazy......

Luoyang City, North District, by the Cao River, at the door of Yue Shan'er's hotel, stood a little girl wearing a Luo green shirt. This little girl is Ruoruo, she has been standing at the door for an hour, and at this moment she keeps looking around, looking a little lost. In the restaurant, Yue Mochou's sisters and brother-in-law were busy cooking.

"Ruoruo, you sit at home and wait, it's cold outside when the night falls."

Yue Shan'er walked out of the kitchen, saw Ruoruo still standing at the door, and spoke.

"Why Uncle Xiaoyi hasn't returned yet, it makes me panic."

Ruoruo muttered.
