Chapter 60: The Power of the Piano
Under the cover of night, a dim oil lamp was lit in the room of Liu Ruyan, and the sound of the piano was curling.
When Hong Yuan was there, although this small house in the middle of nowhere was simple, it was somewhat angry. When Hong Yuan was not there, there was no smell of fireworks, only the sound of the piano echoed.
"Auntie, aunt ......"
Ye Rou shouted loudly from afar, and directly rode his horse to hit the door and rushed in, and without waiting for the war horse under his crotch to stop, he flew down and rushed in as fast as possible.
The room is simply furnished, there is not even a bed, there is only a coffee table, a futon.
Liu Ruyan sat cross-legged behind the coffee table, her long black hair was tied behind her head, and the white robe on her body was spotless, detached like a heavenly girl who did not eat fireworks in the world. Seeing Ye Rou rushing in in a hurry, her face was unhappy or angry, and she stroked the strings.
"Auntie, help, quickly, save ......" Ye Rou was out of breath, and she was so anxious that she couldn't speak.
"What's wrong, who's sick?"
Liu Ruyan's face was calm, and she seemed to be calm when she encountered something big, "Ye Rou, sit down, speak slowly." If you can help, your aunt will definitely help you. ”
"Auntie, Hong Yuan didn't come back, and the eldest brother said he was dead. ”
Ye Rou's eyes were red, and she burst into tears while she was still on the way, "Auntie save him, aunt, you must save Hong Yuan." Now, you are the only one in the entire Broken Leaf City who can save him, aunt, quickly!"
"Hong Yuan is dead?"
Liu Ruyan was quite surprised, and then, shaking her head, said lightly: "Ye Rou, either you heard it wrong, or the eldest young master read it wrong." Don't worry, Hong Yuan is not dead. ”
Ye Rou was anxious, "But, my brother clearly said ......"
"Let me ask you, has Hong Yuan's Sansheng smoke been extinguished?" asked Liu Ruyan.
"Like...... Yes, no. ”
Ye Rou's eyes lit up, she saw hope, and after thinking about it, she was still worried, "However, I didn't look at it later, will it be ...... now?"
Ye Rou didn't dare to continue, if the Sansheng Smoke was extinguished, there would be no hope at all, and her soul would be gone.
"Before Hong Yuan left, I asked the ghost servant to send him three tips, the last one for life-saving. Don't worry, the life-saving tips are useless so far, Hong Yuan can't die. Liu Ruyan was not in a hurry, without a trace of worry.
"Really?" Ye Rou became happy and began to shed tears again.
"Of course it's true, Hong Yuan was raised by me, if he is really in any danger, can my aunt still sit still?"
Liu Ruyan smiled kindly, as if she liked Ye Rou in her heart, "Ye Rou, you girl is good at everything, but her heart is too soft and kind, who can marry you is his blessing." It would be nice if our family Hongyuan could marry a girl like you. ”
"Auntie...... , I'll go first, so I won't disturb your rest. ”
Ye Rou's face was red, but her heart was sweet, and she turned around and retreated. Knowing that Liu Ruyan had been prepared and that Hong Yuan was still alive, she was relieved.
"Go ahead, you can rest early, too. ”
Liu Ruyan commanded, continued to caress the strings, and the sound of the piano came out far away in the dark night. After playing for a while, it suddenly went out of tune and made a harsh sound.
In the room, Liu Ruyan, who had always been calm, changed color on her face. At the moment when Ye Rou rode the horse away, she suddenly felt that Hong Yuan had used that life-saving tool. That means that Hong Yuan is really in trouble, and his life is in big trouble!
No one knows Hong Yuan's character better than Liu Ruyan, since he has explained it clearly, it is not a life-and-death situation when his life hangs by a thread, he will never use this life-saving trick.
The ghost servant walked in with a tacit understanding, wearing the cold bronze grimace mask on his face as always. The sound of the piano was suddenly harsh, and he knew that something was wrong, something big!
"Prepare the car, go to the abyss of death, right away!"
Liu Ruyan commanded, put away the guqin, and acted calmly, but his eyes were cold and murderous. A pair of eyes are like the eternal stars in the sky, deep and cold, without the slightest emotional fluctuation, and the top killers in the Gods and Ghosts Continent will be ashamed of themselves when they see it.
The ghost servant didn't say a word, and turned to leave. Soon, a carriage rushed out of Shattered Leaf City and galloped in the direction of the Abyss of Death.
The whole city was so moved by the people who had returned that no one noticed the carriage, except for two people, who stood on the pitch-black head of the city and watched the carriage go away. The two of them all had a big hat on their heads, a cloak tied to their waists and a long sword, one had short hair and a little green, and the other had messy hair and a shawl, and his eyes were as cold as frost.
"Brother Ding, could it be this woman?" Li Changhe asked, in order to find out the so-called clown lich, he had been secretly eyeing Liu Ruyan for a long time.
"This woman is of unknown origin, and her cultivation is unfathomable, but she is not the same size as the person we pursued that night, and she should not be the person we are looking for. However, for the time being, I can't rule out absolute suspicion, keep up and go!"
Ding Siwei had his shawl in his hair, and before he could finish speaking, he jumped directly from the head of the city more than ten meters high and chased after the carriage on foot. Behind him, Li Changhe followed. After a few ups and downs, the two alliance masters disappeared into the darkness at an astonishingly fast speed.
Inside the carriage, Liu Ruyan snorted, "Are the so-called alliance masters so self-conscious?"
Slender white fingers gently brushed over the strings, and Ding Siwei and Li Changhe, who were miles behind the carriage, suddenly shook their bodies together, feeling as if a sharp sword had pierced their chests. At this time, the sound of the piano sounded in my ears.
Ding Siwei, who was rushing in front, suddenly stopped, looked down and saw that there was an extra hole in his robe, and there was a dent on his chest, and his heart was shocked.
"Brother Ding, are you still chasing?" Li Changhe was even more cold sweating, his body trembled, he had never encountered such a strange and terrifying attack in his life. Obviously, the other party has already shown mercy, otherwise, there would be not just a dent on the chest, but a blood hole!
Ding Siwei's face turned pale, "This is far from what the two of us can deal with, at least it is a supreme master who has opened the treasure of the Spirit Sea, and is even one step away from flying to the Heavenly Realm! ”
Ding Siwei was shocked, with his cultivation at the peak of the Quartet Realm, he was also a figure in Night Dragon City, and he had made a lot of contributions to the alliance, and he had killed many masters of the Hualong Empire for decades, but at this moment, he was really afraid, and he also understood Liu Ruyan's warning, and if he continued to catch up, the two of them would definitely bury themselves in the wilderness.
"Good!"
Li Changhe didn't dare to slack off, quickly crushed a messenger talisman, and urgently reported to the alliance and asked for help.
The two did not dare to chase any more, and they were still in shock until the carriage in front of them disappeared. The two were ordered to come to Shattered Leaf City to investigate the truth about the clown lich, thinking that it was just someone pretending to be a ghost, and it was just a trivial matter, but when they arrived in Broken Leaf City, they investigated all the way, and found that things were far from that simple. The small border city of Broken Leaves, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
