Chapter 73: The people in Jiafu go to the empty building
After learning the truth of everything, Xiao Jiu couldn't help but burst into tears.
In this year, he has always refused to forgive himself, and has always thought that it was his cowardice and incompetence that made Cruel Smile die to save himself.
No wonder he Xue Yuanwai would be so angry and expelled himself from the mansion in the end, without caring about it.
"Thank you seniors for your advice, but this Dongzhu, Xiao Jiu deserves it after all!"
"You're welcome." Shi Ru shook his head and said, "Give you Dongzhu, the old body is also selfish, if he needs your help in the future, I hope that the ninth prince will not refuse." ”
"That's nature."
Since this Dongzhu will help him take revenge, then he will accept it, after all, it will be better if he has a better chance of winning.
After not staying long in Shi Ru's hut, Xiao Jiu said goodbye to his family and left with Dongzhu and his golden sheath dagger.
Before dark, I walked out of the village and stayed in a post house.
Before dawn on the morning of the day, Xiao Jiu set off from the inn.
Immediately after that, I rushed for a few days before I arrived in the Jiangzhen area.
Originally, Xiao Jiu was afraid of startling the snake, so he deliberately waited until after dark before he planned to act.
It's just that when he took advantage of the middle of the night to move to Jiafu, he found that the entire Jiafu was empty.
Xiao Jiu thought he had been ambushed at first, but after searching inside and outside the house for a long time, he didn't see anyone, so he had no choice but to return to the post house where he had temporarily settled.
Early the next morning, Xiao Jiu walked generously to the door of Jiafu, and casually found a stall next to the owner of the small owner to inquire, only to find out that the Jiafu family had already moved south half a month ago.
"Why did they move their family south?"
"I heard! It was in the south that there was a business and made a lot of money, so the family moved away! ”
"Thank you."
After Xiao Jiu asked the reason, he planned to try to explore the road all the way to the south, but it was still a little inconvenient to ride a horse, and after thinking about it, he decided to entrust the horse to the care of Xiao Er at the post station first, and when he came back from exploring the road, it was not too late to pick up the horse.
After settling everything, Xiao Jiu planned to use his skillful telephalation technique and began to search, coupled with his powerful shape-shifting ability, I believe that he will soon find Old Man Jia and them!
At that time, Mrs. Jia had already led all his old subordinates and their families to go to the Dingxinhu generation.
Half a month ago, he finally got the news from his cronies, it is said that on the island in the middle of Dingxin Lake, he saw the old head Ye Chong with his own eyes.
So Mrs. Jia decided to move her family to Dingxin Lake, so that she could personally interview the old master.
"Master, along the way, that woman has been releasing carrier pigeons, is there really no need to intercept them?"
When there was still half a day away from Dingxin Lake, Zhimei finally couldn't help but ask.
"Let her go! Don't worry, anyway, this woman is now in our hands, even if the Prime Minister's Mansion knows that Ye Chong is still alive, it is not only harmless to us, but beneficial to us
! Alright, let's keep going! ”
Old Lady Jia looked very calm, not caring about any actions of his good granddaughter-in-law Luo Xining, as if no matter how she tossed, he didn't care.
In the evening of the same day, everyone arrived at the edge of Dingxin Lake.
"Master, shall we go to the island overnight or find a place to rest for a while?"
Looking at the black rumbling riverside, Luo Li sighed and said
"Tell me to go down, rest for the night, and go to the island tomorrow!"
"Yes."
At that time, Chen Yao always stayed with Jia Cheng, for fear that Old Lady Jia would harm him.
She is not a fool, how could she not know that the maid next to her has defected to Luo Li? Now her only life talisman is Jia Cheng.
"Brother Cheng, where are we going? Xining was afraid. ”
"Don't be afraid, it's already here, grandfather said, he will take us to the island tomorrow."
Jia Cheng held Luo Xining's jade hand with one hand with a gentle face and said comfortingly.
"Okay!" Chen Yao gently pressed his face against Jia Cheng's chest while thinking about what to do after he went to the island.
He frequently released news to the outside world along the way, and this old lady Jia didn't even intercept a letter, so there must be something strange in this.
I'm afraid that after I go to the island tomorrow, I will be more than lucky.
However, since she has chosen this path of revenge, there is no turning back.
For her father, she is just a pawn, perhaps, there is no one in this world who really cares about her life and death!
Thinking of this, Chen Yao's heart couldn't help but hurt, and suddenly somehow, he remembered the night when Xiao Jiu expressed his heart with himself when he was on Xiling Mountain.
"Lady, it's not early, let's rest quickly!"
"Hmm."
Lying on the bed in the first-class guest room in the inn, the heart of the master is no longer here.
Even Jia Cheng's big and powerful hand behind him wrapped around her waist and didn't notice it.
Early the next morning, Luo Li notified everyone in the Jia family and took a boat to the island together.
However, before the ship could get close to the island in the center, it was entangled by underwater water spirits.
"Old lady, son, something is wrong, there are water ghosts in the water!"
"Copy guys! Kill these water ghosts! ”
Luo Li ordered without changing his face when he heard this.
"Yes!"
To tell the truth, Zhimei is a hero on land, but in fact he is a landlubber, and every time the water ghost grabs his feet, he trembles with fear.
"Quick! Come and save me! ”
"Don't be afraid, boss, I'll help you!"
Some of his subordinates were familiar with the water, and they all jumped into the water to fight with the water ghosts, but after a few rounds, none of the water ghosts died, but none of the people who went down could survive.
"Old lady, you see, our people seem to be inferior to these water ghosts!"
To be on the safe side, Luo Li bought the largest boat on the dock, but he didn't expect to encounter this situation.
"It seems that the old boss has been here for many years, but he has raised a lot of capable subordinates!
”
Unwilling to play against the Jing Fang anymore, Old Lady Jia hurriedly beckoned his subordinates and began to dart to greet the people under the water.
A moment later, the water ghosts in the water gradually decreased, but Jing Fang suddenly stabbed a fierce man, and with a little force, he grabbed an injured water ghost onto the boat.
The water ghost struggled for a moment, the expression on his face slightly hideous.
The wound on his right leg appears to have been hit by a dart, and it is now bleeding heavily.
"Help him bandage the wound on his leg first!" As soon as the Jing Fang gave the order, his subordinates immediately trotted forward and wrapped a few circles of gauze around the water ghost.
"Tell me, the one who lives on the island is Ye Chong, the old head of the Xuan Lingyi faction?"
Jing Fang kept rubbing the small mustache on his chin with the back of one hand and the other hand.
Although the water ghost grinned in pain, he remained silent.
"Don't say it?" Luo Li sneered, strode forward, and stepped on his seriously injured leg, and the water ghost who was in pain screamed again and again.
"Ahh I say, I say...... The people who live on the island are indeed ...... The old boss, however, should be called the owner of Dingxin Island now! ”
"Good!"
Luo Li was satisfied with his legs.
After exchanging glances with Jing Fang, Luo Li continued
"Go back and bring a message to the island owner, just say that Luo Li has come to visit his old man's house. Of course, it was a real visit, telling him not to misinterpret the old man's meaning! ”
"Yes, yes, little one understands!"
The water ghost hurriedly kowtowed and said yes.
"That's it! You can go back to your life! ”
After that, the water ghost was kicked into the water by Jing Fang, and after a few starts, he disappeared again.
After about a stick of incense, the Jia family's boat finally docked.
However, before Luo Li could call someone to land, Ye Chong had already prepared a crossbowman to squat on the shore and wait.
"Old lady, what should I do?"
Jing Fang looked nervously at the formation in front of him, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Don't panic! Wait for the old man to step forward first to find out the truth. ”
"Wouldn't it be too dangerous?" Anyway, he was still a little reassured.
"It doesn't matter! The old man has lived for such a long time, and he has not experienced any winds and waves, don't be afraid! ”
After pacifying the people behind him, Luo Li walked to the bow of the boat step by step, and shouted to Ye Chong, who was hiding behind everyone on the shore
"I haven't seen you for many years, don't come to the old master!"
Seeing Luo Li step forward in person, Ye Chong in the crowd was a little surprised.
"Are you really Luo Li?"
Although he didn't notice what happened at the time, he still found out the truth afterwards.
Back then, if it weren't for Luo Li's instigation, everyone in the door would not be dissatisfied with themselves.
And at the Hongmen banquet that day, more than half of the people who were ambushed outside the door were also the cronies of the third elder Luo Li!
If it weren't for Ciwei's desperate efforts to fight a bloody way for himself, I am afraid that he would have died in Hu Chi Mountain.
"Luo Li, a subordinate of Luo Li, brought his family and the old department to visit the old master! I begged the head of the family to allow me to go to the island and recount the old feelings. ”
"Humph! I have no old relationship with you anymore
! If you dare to get even half a step closer, you will be killed by ten thousand arrows through your heart!! ”
Although Ye Chong's face was wide and wide, his voice was as crisp as a young man, and as he spoke, his right hand was already raised high, signaling all the crossbowmen to prepare.
Luo Li was not afraid, but calmly said
"The head is slow, Luo Li knows that the most regrettable thing for the head is that after separating from his wife, he doesn't know if the son in his womb was born safely. For so many years, Luo Li has always worked hard to share the worries of the leader, and finally lived up to the trust and inquired about the whereabouts of the little son. ”
Luo Li knows the personality of the old boss very well, is indecisive, and has the kindness of a woman.
If he knew that his child was still alive, even if he was afraid of himself, he would let him go to the island.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Ye Chong's face eased a lot.
After a stalemate for a moment, the crossbowmen in front of them finally withdrew gradually.
"If you dare to say half a lie......"
"Luo Li doesn't dare! The lives of the people on this boat are pinched in the palm of the old master's hand, and most of the people on the ship are old family members, and the old man has come all the way to join the head of you! ”
Luo Li's words were sincere, but Ye Chong didn't listen to them.
After all, what he wanted to know most at the moment was his son's whereabouts.
However, in order to prevent fraud, Ye Chong still planned to test one or two.
"I'm going to ask you! How did you know that my son is still alive? ”
