Chapter Seventy-Five: The Land of the Warriors
The short blade in Luna's hand froze between the old man's neck for a long time, but the old man remained unmoved. Still sitting at the lamplight table flipping through the books, silent.
Seeing this, Luna was struck by an idea.
"I'm a friend of Marco Polo," Luna said tentatively.
I saw the old man's hand flipping through the book and paused in the air for a moment.
"It seems that the old man does have some kind of relationship with Marco Polo, maybe it is Marco Polo's grandfather." Luna thought to herself.
"He sent me to save you, and I was worried that I had saved the wrong person, so I was reckless." Luna continued to try to make a statement, and the shortblade in her hand was retracted.
"Is my apprentice grandson back?" The old man turned around slowly, his eyebrows condensed into a line, and asked back.
"No matter what, if I find him, I don't have to worry about asking the grievances of my father." Luna hesitated for a moment, then began to make up her mind to rescue the old man.
"Well, that's right, he came back from Datang in the East, that's why he entrusted me to save you, you can go with me." Luna said.
"I can't go with you, or I'll get to my grandchildren and you. I am already in my prime, and I have long looked down on life and death, and you tell my disciple grandson not to come to save me again. The old man said.
When Luna heard this, she suddenly realized that the old man was the grandson of his apprentice who loved him so much, which showed the depth of their feelings for each other.
Luna thought to herself that this place should not be long in this place.
Afterwards, Luna gently knocked the old man unconscious with her palm blade, carrying the old man behind her, and successfully escaped from Miledi's mansion.
When the old man woke up and slowly opened his eyes, he realized that it was not the same place.
"Where is this?" The old man asked suspiciously.
"This is my home, don't worry, old man, Milady won't find this place in a short time, and even if she finds here, she won't be able to do anything to me. You can rest assured that you will live here, and I will not continue to disturb your rest. With that, Luna was about to turn and walk away.
"Where is my grandson, Marco Polo?" The old man asked.
"He has something to do temporarily, so let me arrange for you to live here with me first. It won't be a few days before I'll be back to you. Luna said.
Without a better excuse, Luna can only continue to be perfunctory.
In this way, the old man stayed for several days.
After Luna was busy with the family's internal affairs, she was able to find time to ask the old man about the past.
Luna approached the old man, "My father is actually a good friend of your apprentice Jayne, can you tell us about the two of them?"
Luna asked openly.
When Master Vinci heard this, he was a little shocked.
"Your father is Lan Zhengdao?" Master Finch asked in an old voice.
"Yes." Luna bowed slightly.
Master Vinci fell silent, wrinkles at the corners of his eyes stretched, as if he had fallen into a memory.
"Yes, your father and my apprentice Jayne were good friends back then. In order to fulfill his, which was also my dream, my apprentice Jayne braved the hardships and traveled to Datang to bring back the ancient heavenly book. This was known to Milady, who was struggling to find out about the whereabouts of the Book of Heaven, and Jayne left the Book of Heaven with me and hid with your father in order to escape her coercion. The enraged Milady was so brazen that she didn't even spare me, an old man, and imprisoned me in her mansion. Fortunately, before I was caught, the Book of Heaven was burned, because the content recorded in the Book of Heaven is so terrible that if Milady gets it, the entire Land of Warriors, or even the entire King Continent, will be at peace. When Jayne found out that I had been arrested, he went to find Miladyso, but Milady said that as long as she handed in the letter from heaven, she would release him immediately. How could I allow Jayne to do this, besides, the Book of Heaven has already been burned by me. After Jayne knew that the Book of Heaven was destroyed, in order to save me, he promised Milady to go to the Tang Dynasty again to find the whereabouts of another Book of Heaven. And just like that, he never came back. And my apprentice, in order to save me and find his father's whereabouts, also resolutely embarked on the road to the east. When I told Milady that the Book of Heaven had been burned by me, she didn't believe it, and she searched through my dwellings, but found no trace of the Book of Heaven. So she began to suspect that the Book of Heaven was hidden by your father. That's why I conclude that the death of your parents has nothing to do with Milady! ”
Speaking of this, Master Finch suddenly burst into tears and his face was full of sorrow.
"What's wrong with you, old man?" Luna asked.
"Hey, it's all my fault, if I hadn't burned the Book of Heaven, your father wouldn't have died, and my apprentice wouldn't have been uncertain for ten years." The old man let out a long sigh, and the old hand gently patted his chest, as if punishing himself.
"Old man, I don't blame you, if you want to blame, blame Milady, this person is really vicious and despicable." Luna reassured.
Now that Luna knew what was going on, she left Master Finch's room.
A few days later, Kai returned to the Land of Warriors again.
When Luna meets Kai, she tells him everything that happened.
When Kai heard this, his fists clenched, and his eyes lit up with rage.
"The death of her parents is absolutely inseparable from her! We must not let them die like this, unexplained and unjust. Kai said angrily.
"So what do we do next?" Luna asked.
"As long as the perpetrator is found, it will be difficult for her Milady to deny it!" Kaidao.
So, the siblings sent someone to search for the whereabouts of the Assassin. A month later, there was still no result.
"At present, we have to do two things, the first is to protect Master Vinci, and the second is to send someone to secretly supervise the Milady's mansion. Sister, I'm going to Chang'an, and I'll leave these two things to you for the time being. "Kaidao.
"Brother, what are you doing in Chang'an?" Luna asked.
"I'm going to look for Marco Polo, maybe he has an important clue there." Kaidao.
"Brother, you can rest assured of these two things." Luna assured.
"yes, okay." Kaidao.
So a few days later, Kai packed his bags and began to embark on the journey east to Datang.
