Chapter 40: Murder and Arson

Lu Yue glanced at her, "What are you laughing at all night?" ”

"Miss will be a celebrity in Tianfu City in the future."

Lu Yue followed Lu'er's hand indifferently, sat on the bed, took off her shoes and went to bed.

"What's there to be happy about?" Lu Yue asked as she covered the quilt.

"The slave is happy for the young lady~" Lu'er said in a slight tone.

"I didn't do it, so what's there to be happy about." Lu Yue covered the quilt and muttered.

"Miss?" Lu'er whispered to probe her brain, and found that Lu Yue closed her eyelids slightly, as if she was asleep, and suddenly she slowed down her breathing and retreated.

Tianfu City since the establishment of the capital, has a history of hundreds of years, which has dozens of major events of dynastic change, the best is that in the past fifty years, it is said that the Great Yuan Emperor recaptured the country from the hands of the northern aliens, so the country was changed to Dayuan, and the Gu family was in power.

Along the Tianfu City to the southwest direction, there is a five-peak mountain, the momentum is majestic, like a big bell to choke the north and south fortresses, once in history there was an emperor specially issued an order to all the officials and the people to choose the road.

In this way, Wufeng Mountain came and went, and it became a barren place on the map that no one cared about.

There is a Lijiatun at the foot of Wufeng Mountain, this village is not big, there are less than 200 households before and after, the people here are simple, they have been farming for generations, and their lives are leisurely.

But that changed from late one night five years ago, to the darkness of the night today, as deep and oppressive as it was breathtaking.

A man with a silver mask, a dark coat, and a length of more than eight feet, the curvature of the corners of his mouth was slightly hooked, and a cold light flashed under his eyes: "Search!" ”

In a circle of black-clad men holding torches, surrounded by a bunch of old, weak, sick and crippled, some women in tattered clothes holding in their arms waiting to nurse their children, some delirious children, and some sick and crooked old men who were panting on the haystacks.....

A pair of centaurs immediately passed through the panicked crowd, and the leader kicked open a broken door in front of him, and when he kicked it open, he seemed to hear several screams from inside.

In a few moments, the men in black brought out a frightened crying child and a woman with a blank expression from the house.

The child was only about seven or eight years old, he looked very thin, his clothes were in tatters, his expression was pitiful, and when he saw the man in black show his knife, he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to cry, and there were strings of tears hanging on his cheeks, and he retracted directly into his mother's arms.

The woman's expression was still dumbfounded, staring at the grass poles and leaves on the ground, and subconsciously took the child into her arms.

The black-clothed man with the mask held a mutton fat jade in his hand, turned it slowly, and glanced at it.

Suddenly, the big knife in his hand was raised and fell, "poof~" blood splashed, the woman's head flew out, and the blood directly poured on the poor child's face.

"Ahh The boy screamed, stumbled out, and ran towards the dilapidated house. The man in black who was directly chased by a few steps was cut off, and half of the haystack was stained red with blood.

The masked man grinded the mutton fat jade in his hand, hooked his mouth and sneered: "Betray me, this is the end!" ”

No one in the audience dared to speak out to resist, most of them had numb expressions, and only a few women had sad eyes and silently wiped away the tears from their cheeks.

"Burn!" The masked man in black lifted his chin slightly.

"Yes~" the men in black replied.

The house behind the masked man was instantly engulfed in flames and turned into a sea of fire.

"You, come here!" The masked man's mouth hooked slightly, and he hooked his finger at a man in black.

The man in black trembled and threw himself on the ground, and his mouth couldn't help but plead: "The hall master spares his life, the hall master spares his life....."

Before the words were spoken, the whole person was directly cut into two pieces, and the three people behind him fell to their knees directly, their heads slammed up, and they kept begging: "The hall master spares his life, begs the hall master to spare his life.....

Soon there was a pool of blood on the ground, and the masked man was unmoved, and opened his lips: "One-eyed, has the person found it?" ”

One of the kneeling and kowtowing quickly raised his head, his eyes frightened, "Back to the hall master, there is..." There is a clue, and he was saved by the daughter of the richest man Gu Yuanxiao. ”

"Idiot!" The corners of the masked man's mouth twitched slightly.

The man of the one-eyed dragon was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed, his head was hit on the ground and blood flowed, and his mouth kept pleading: "Hall Master Kai Grace ~ Hall Master Kai En ~ "

"Seven days!" The man's words were indescribably cold, and his eyes clearly told the three people on the ground that the meaning was very clear, if they couldn't find people within seven days, waiting for them would be hell.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, their fate was temporarily saved, and the one-eyed dragon and the other two hurriedly kowtowed: "Don't worry, hall master, even if we go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire this time, we will pull him out!" ”

"Huh! He must be found within seven days! The masked man stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes falling on the dark night sky.

"Yes!" The three of them said in unison, and hurriedly disappeared into the vast darkness.

The next morning, Dongxi drove, lightly fell on the blue and white trimmed tulle light curtain, jumping like a naughty child, Lu Yue sat in front of the mirror in plain white clothes, the green silk fell on the waist, opened his mouth and yawned: "Hmm, I'm so sleepy~"

Lu Yue saw that Lu'er didn't want her, so her eyes couldn't help but squint, her head drooped slightly, Lu'er picked out the jewelry, arranged it in a row, and looked at Lu Yue dozing off funny, "Miss, why are you like Wangcai?" ”

Lu Yue instantly sobered up, "What... Prosperous? ”

Seeing Lu Yue's stunned face, Lu'er kindly explained, "Miss Wangcai is..."

"Stop!" Lu Yue immediately stopped with a black face, did this girl really think that she couldn't hear that Wangcai was a dog's name?!

Lu'er covered her mouth and snickered.

"Lu'er, didn't you say that the old lady worships the Buddha today?" Lu Yue tugged at the hair around her ears and twisted it around her fingertips, so that she didn't have to say hello to the old lady.

"That's right, but what does this have to do with whether the young lady goes to ask for peace or not?" Lu'er carefully combed Lu Yue's long hair.

"......." Lu Yue was speechless.

"Miss is so beautiful..."Lu'er looked at Lu Yue in the mirror and couldn't help but sigh again, causing Lu Yue to raise her eyelids and look at herself in the mirror, her eyebrows were always appropriate, and her apricot eyes were bright and shining.

Lu Yue sighed, as the saying goes, this white covers a hundred ugliness, it's not that the skin of this body is so good that it can pinch out water, "Lu'er, your hands are so skillful, this peach blossom bun looks good today." ”

Lu Yue looked at herself in the mirror left and right, looking very satisfied with her hair bun today. Lu'er was so happy to see Lu Yue, and she was also happy, "Miss, come!" ”

Lu Yue looked at Lu'er holding the box of lipstick, reached out directly, wiped it on her lips and sipped it, she was really not used to it, this thing was called lipstick in her time, it was easy to carry and easy to apply.

But this color is really good, and when it is blurred, it looks pretty beautiful!

When Lu Yue arrived, Zhao Qingliu and Qin Zixuan were talking together, Qin Zixuan's eyes lit up when he saw Lu Yue at first glance, and he no longer listened to what Zhao Qingliu said, and walked directly to Lu Yue's side, "Ask Aunt Ann." ”

"Get up!" Lu Yue stood up with Qin Zixuan's little arm, "Xuan'er, why didn't you go to the academy today?" ”

"Back to my aunt, Mr. Fu has something to do today, so the school is suspended once." Qin Zixuan's serious little appearance, Lu Yue was happy to reach out and touch Qin Zixuan's head.

"No! Sister Princess, Xuan'er doesn't like others touching his head very much. Zhao Qingliu said with a smile.

"Uh~" Lu Yue paused and looked at his stopped hand.

Who knew that Qin Zixuan raised his head when he heard this, and said with a smile: "It's not in the way, aunt." ”

Zhao Qingliu on the side was shocked in his heart, his eyes flashed slightly, this ..... When did this woman become so close to Xuan'er? actually touched Xuan'er's head, and Xuan'er was not angry?

Thinking of this, Zhao Qingliu had a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Yo, Sister Princess is here, Qing'er greets Sister Princess." ”

Lu Yue nodded slightly, and didn't say much to Zhao Qingliu, turned her head and continued to talk to Qin Zixuan about the school, and the two continued to talk and laugh.

Zhao Qingliu was secretly jealous and hateful, but he still had a smile on his face, and interjected from time to time. After a while, Ji Lian's mother smiled and invited the three of them into the old lady's house.

"Mother Ji Lian, where is the old lady?" As soon as Zhao Qingliu entered the room, his eyes wandered, and he didn't see the shadow of the old lady, so he asked Ji Lian's mother.

Ji Lian's mother saluted to the three, "The princess, the little prince, the second miss, the old lady is worshipping the Buddha in the small Buddha hall at the back, the old lady is afraid that the little prince will be hungry, so she ordered the slave maid to come and serve you for breakfast." ”

Lu Yue nodded slightly and motioned for Ji Lian's mother to get up, but as soon as the old woman touched Lu Yue's gaze, she immediately shrank back, hehe, are you afraid that she will settle accounts with her?

Lu Yue took a seat and thought: This old woman is quite shrewd, but her Lu Yue's heart is not so small, this old woman should be ordered by someone to embarrass herself on that day.

Lu Yue and Zhao Qingliu were both Qin Zixuan's elders, so Qin Zixuan sat at the bottom of the table, and Ji Lian's mother instructed the maid to bring the breakfast.

There are actually Sanzhen spring rolls that Lu Yue loves to eat, as well as Wufu buns, shrimp and jade dumplings, japonica rice porridge, etc., and after a while, Ji Lian's mother filled the entire table.

Lu Yue's eyes were dark, she knew that the old lady's breakfast was so rich today, she must have gotten up a long time ago, and she still needed Lu'er to urge her ears?

Lu'er knew what her young lady was thinking at a glance, and looked, her eyes were dark and bright, so she hurriedly sandwiched a spring roll for Lu Yue, and Lu Yue took a bite of it, um~ delicious, crispy skin and full of meat, juicy, and smelled very fragrant.

Qin Zixuan was originally eating his own shrimp jade dumplings, but when he raised his eyes and saw Lu Yue eating a fragrant one, his eyes suddenly became hot, and he didn't eat the shrimp dumplings on the plate.

The maid thought that the little prince was thirsty, so she hurriedly served Qin Zixuan a bowl of japonica rice porridge.

Qin Zixuan has always eaten whatever the maid gives him, and suddenly he had to drink porridge while watching Lu Yue eat.

After Lu Yue finished eating, she caught a glimpse of Qin Zixuan's greedy gaze fading out of the corner of her eye, hey~ This child was embarrassed to say that she wanted to eat it herself, and suddenly she directly sandwiched one and put it on Qin Zixuan's plate, "Come on, Xuan'er will also try it." ”

When Zhao Qingliu saw it, there was a hint of ridicule in the corner of his eyes, "Sister Princess, let's eat it by yourself, our family Xuan'er never likes to eat that kind of thing..."

Before Zhao Qingliu finished speaking, he saw that Qin Zixuan's eyes were bright, and he actually picked up the spring roll with chopsticks and took a big bite in his mouth.

"Xuan'er!" Zhao Qingliu suddenly almost lost his voice and shouted, what's the matter with Xuan'er, isn't he not fond of eating spring rolls?
