Chapter Seventy-Nine: Danger
"Am I talking nonsense?" Lan Yi looked at Xiao Liuzi and found that he seemed to have misunderstood something, "I owe Miss Zhong a wedding dress." Xiao Liuzi's nervous heart relaxed.
"If the young master insists on going, then he must take me with him...... If I really accidentally bump into the people of the Zhong family, and they are recklessly angry with the young master, I can also carry it for the young master for a while. Xiao Liuzi looked at Lan Yi with tears in his eyes.
"What are you talking about so bleakly? Although his Zhong family has a big business, but this is the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how dare he do anything wrong unless he doesn't want his own life? ”
"They're all red-eyed, how can they still think about this? Even if the old man of the Zhong family didn't do it himself, what if he hired someone to commit murder? ”
"It's not good for you to be arrogant all day long, just knowing that his Zhong family is rich and rich, is our Lan family as thin as a dog?" Lan Yi patted Xiao Liuzi on the shoulder.
"That's not what I meant...... I'm ......"
"Okay, I know you're worried about me, but some things have to be faced sooner or later......" Lan Yi looked at the clear sky outside the door, why couldn't today's good weather bring him the slightest comfort?
Knowing that dissuasion was useless, Xiao Liuzi had no choice but to set off with Lan Yi, which was also the last decision he could make, but before he set off, he quietly asked someone to go and not look back, Lan Yi didn't know anything about it.
Because Zhong Mu'er's tomb was outside the city, Lan Yi and Xiao Liuzi rode a horse alone, Xiao Liuzi was in front, Lan Yi followed, and the two of them rode out of the city gate like that, galloping towards the desolate place outside the city.
Zhong Mu'er's tomb is not the cemetery of the Zhong family, let alone the ancestral tomb of the Du family, in a place surrounded by green mountains and green waters in the suburbs, Zhong Mu'er's tomb is alone there watching the river in front. Maybe according to feng shui, this is already a good place, but for Zhong Mu'er, who is buried, is this really her best choice?
Before arriving at the cemetery, Xiao Liuzi and Lan Yi dismounted one after another, tied their horses in a small forest, and the two of them marched towards the ** place with slow steps. Lan Yi was holding a wedding dress that had been made in a hurry, and she wanted to give it to Miss Zhong after she came back, but unfortunately, it was too late.
The tomb of this young lady of the Zhong family is obviously a little too simple, a wooden tablet stands in front of the tall grave, there is no inscription on it, just three simple big characters, Zhong Mu'er. It's so simple and so bleak. The candles in front of the monument have long since been extinguished, the offerings used for worship have been dried, and the footprints around it seem to have faded under the wind and sun in a short time. Occasionally, the industrious grass has crawled all over the perimeter of the cemetery, and the simple grave and the lonely and wronged soul inside are surrounded by greenery.
Lan Yi stood in front of the cemetery in a daze, this was the first time he had died at such a close distance, the oppressive aura enveloped his whole body, and it seemed difficult to breathe.
Xiao Liuzi quickly placed the purchased tributes one by one, and he didn't know what to say, so he lit the three pillars of incense and handed them to Lan Yi. Lan Yi slowly lowered her head, and the three puffs of cigarette slowly disappeared into the air, just like the woman who disappeared without warning. Lan Yi's hands trembled, and the wedding dress she was holding was almost falling to the ground, but Xiao Liuzi quickly caught it with one hand, "Young Master, put incense on Miss Zhong." ”
Lan Yi solemnly saluted and said his final goodbye to this person who had nothing to do with him but had some kind of connection.
Everything around him was still at this moment, Lan Yi only felt that he was a sinner, he who once hated his father's cruelty could do such a thing! Lan Yi couldn't completely forgive herself no matter what.
In a trance, he seemed to hear the sound of chaotic footsteps, Lan Yi didn't pay attention to it, but this aroused all the vigilance of Xiao Liuzi, he opened his eyes and looked around, and sure enough, not far away, several people were coming domineeringly, seeing that the posture was not good.
"Young master, young master, let's go!" Xiao Liuzi pulled Lan Yi, Lan Yi also turned his gaze, he also saw the people coming, but he didn't want to leave in a hurry, he waited there quietly, waiting for the arrival of those people.
Closer, closer, closer, the figures of several strong men finally appeared clearly in front of Lan Yi and Xiao Liuzi. There is no need to ask who the comer is, just looking at the sad faces on their faces and the murderous aura in their eyes, it must be that the comer is not good. Xiao Liuzi worriedly protected Lan Yi in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Young Master, you run first!" ”
"Run? Where to run? "The man at the head didn't know if his ears were too sensitive to hear Xiao Liuzi's words or his mind was too flexible to guess what Xiao Liuzi said, just such a sentence, Xiao Liuzi had a feeling of scalp tingling!
"Who are you? Do you want to rob it in broad daylight? Lan Yi shouted.
"Rob? What else will our huge Zhong Mansion lack? What a joke! We're here to kill you! A white light flashed in front of his eyes, and Xiao Liuzi saw with certainty that it was a dagger that flashed out, he had never seen such a battle, his legs were already trembling, and then he looked at Lan Yi with a majestic face.
"Since you are from the Zhong Mansion, do you know how disrespectful it is to murder your young lady in front of her tomb while her bones are still cold?"
"Disrespectful? To kill you is to avenge our young lady! ”
"You are wrong, our young master is not Du Shifan!" Xiao Liuzi shouted anxiously.
"Of course we know that he is not Du Shifan, but our young lady doesn't seem to like that brute, but has a good impression of this young master of your family, and killed him, just to match our young lady with a yin marriage!" The strong man has already stepped forward step by step, if nothing else, the lives of Xiao Liuzi and Lan Yi are quite worried.
At this moment, a woman's anxious cry was heard in the same place, and the cry passed through the silence of the woods and clearly reached everyone's ears, "Don't do it! Don't get your hands dirty! Don't do it! For a while, everyone's attention was attracted by the woman's voice, and everyone looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a woman dressed in plain clothes galloping in an instant, followed by a group of men on horseback, it seemed that they were also not good.
Xiao Liuzi's eyes flashed when he saw the savior, and he turned around to look at Lan Yi and said, "Great, young master, great, we are saved!" ”
"Nonsense! What do you tell her to do? Lan Yi's eyebrows twisted in displeasure.
"Young Master, apart from Miss Feng Yao, I really can't think of anyone who will be our savior!" Lan Yi glanced at Xiao Liuzi angrily, everyone has already come, and it is unintentional to say anything else, not to mention that he really has no good way to deal with the situation in front of him.
It's just that...... But...... This not only lost the adult in front of Feng Yao, but I am afraid that it will also cause ridicule and groundless accusations from this girl, Lan Yi is a little big when she thinks about it.
Seeing that Feng Yao had already arrived, she flew off the horse, her movements were very good, and everyone was stunned, and then looked at the people behind her, led by Nanfeng, and of course the brothers of the dart game followed behind him. Although these people don't look tall and burly, they look like they are from a Lian family, and they all seem to be extraordinary.
The strong man in front of him obviously swallowed a few saliva, Fang Cai's majesty had been reduced by half, he looked at Feng Yao and asked, "This woman, we have to deal with family affairs, and I hope the woman won't interfere!" ”
"Family matters? Who's your family business? We don't know you! You are obviously here to ask for the life of our young master, and now you still have the face to talk about family affairs? Xiao Liuzi pointed to the strong man's nose and asked, and the strong man was speechless.
"I wonder if this little brother is right?" Feng Yao asked with disdain on his face.
"Since ancient times, killing people to pay off debts and paying off debts is justified, and the woman should also know this truth, right?" Strong man said.
"Well, so they owe you money?" Feng Yao asked.
"How could our young master owe them money!" Xiao Liuzi's confidence was greatly encouraged, obviously not the person who was trembling with trembling legs just now and almost couldn't stand up.
"That's the one they killed you?" Feng Yao asked again.
"That's right! He! That's him! Kill our young lady! The strong man's hand pointed, and a cold light rushed in the direction of Lan Yi, and the cold cold light flew past his ears with a shout, and the flying knife flew so that people were caught off guard, and Xiao Liuzi's frightened mouth opened for a long time, and he was so frightened that he didn't shout. Although Feng Yao said that he knew some kung fu, this knife was completely unexpected by her, and it was too late to rush over to resist now.
Just when everyone was in shock, a sword blocked the direction of the road, and with a crisp sound, the knife fell to the ground, and the south wind was already in front of Lan Yi, and the strong man's sneak attack did not succeed!
"How dare you do it! See how this girl punishes you! Feng Yao, who had settled down, drew his horsewhip and threw it at the man, and the man picked up the move unhurriedly. The rest of the people saw that the two people had already started to move, and they all joined in, and the originally calm scene got out of control for a while, and the two groups quickly became a mess. The brothers of the dart game brought by the south wind obviously reached out to be superior, and it didn't take long for the Zhong family's gang to lose the upper hand.
Lan Yi and Xiao Liuzi didn't have any kung fu, they just stood aside and watched the battle nervously, and when they saw that the victory was already in hand, their hanging hearts finally relaxed.
As the saying goes, a good man doesn't suffer immediate losses, seeing that he can't take revenge and can't get any benefits, the Zhong family's people fled as soon as they slipped away, Feng Yao wanted to chase after her, but Nanfeng stopped her.
"Forget it, this group is just doglegs, and it's their master who really wants to embarrass Lan Yi!"
