Chapter 260: Entering the Graveyard by Mistake
readx;? Lu Yifan's camp had already turned into a sea of fire under the surprise attack of the beast domain, dozens of big tents and all the materials they carried were burned, and the flames soared into the sky, illuminating the night sky of the Zhuo Wolf Grassland. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Fifty or sixty miles away from this sea of fire is a mass grave, large and small graves have long been overgrown with withered grass, and the broken corpses exposed to the moonlight here are even more visible everywhere, obviously more dead people were not taken care of by their relatives when they were sent to this mass grave, but were discarded in this cemetery at will.
In fact, such mass graves can be seen everywhere in today's Zhuo Wolf Grassland, there are no villages or cities on the grassland today, and some are just lonely people who are shepherding sheep and horses everywhere to barely survive, plus the people of the beast domain often come here to burn and loot, this place is not very peaceful, and this kind of thing is not uncommon. In the impoverished grasslands, the treatment of the dead has gradually evolved from traditional sacrifices to today's casual discarding, after all, there are so many people who have died over the years, and many of them have completely numbed the herdsmen living in this grassland.
And discarding the dead is like discarding the waste, and they like to circle a place dedicated to this kind of thing, and this place to abandon the dead is this mass grave that I saw tonight. If a person with a name or surname dies, he will be buried, which is more or less a grave. And when a nameless person dies, there is only the part of the wilderness of violent corpses, and these corpses exposed to the sun and moon naturally become a delicious meal for the group of wild wolves on the grassland.
The scale of this mass grave is not small, at first glance it is impossible to see the edge, one after another graves are all over the mountains, the withered yellow and weak grave grass swaying wantonly in the night wind, and occasionally the crisp sound of wild wolves chewing bones can be faintly heard between the potholes.
Suddenly, a figure in the distance came like the wind, and in an instant rushed into the mass grave, until it was in the middle of a cemetery. Under the moonlight, there seemed to be a hint of anxiety in his cold face, this person was Lu Yifan, who followed the 'clues' left by Ji Yi'er.
Although the chaotic footprints along the way are not clear, they can still point out the direction for the careful Lu Yifan, but until they arrived at this mass grave, the footprints disappeared abruptly, so Lu Yifan had to stop here.
"Yi'er!" Lu Yifan stood in the mass grave and looked around, shouting Ji Yi'er's name again and again, but the only thing that answered him was a faint echo of emptiness, and a harsh wind that seemed to be mixed with a hint of mockery.
"I knew you were coming!"
Just after Lu Yifan shouted four or five times to no avail, Ji Yi'er's voice suddenly came from behind a grave in the distance, and then I saw Ji Yi'er's figure slowly walking towards Lu Yifan from the darkness, and looking at her appearance at the moment, it didn't seem to be as panicked as Lu Yifan imagined, but on the contrary, she was unusually calm, and even had a smug smile on her face.
Lu Yifan stared solemnly at Ji Yi'er, who was constantly walking towards him, and seemed to suddenly understand something in his heart, obviously Ji Yi'er appeared here not because she was coerced by others, but should have come by herself. Coupled with Ji Yi'er's words just now, or that she deliberately brought Lu Yifan here, it would be more appropriate.
"I've heard Ji Yuan say many times that you observe things very carefully, so I left the sword there, and now it seems that I really didn't do anything wrong!" Ji Yi'er walked in front of Lu Yifan with a smile, and then stretched out her jade hand towards Lu Yifan with an innocent face, it felt like a wayward little girl asking for something, "Give it back to me!"
Lu Yifan's eyes lowered slightly, and he glanced at the sword in his hand, and a faint look of hesitation flashed on his face.
"What's the matter, are you afraid that I will kill you with a sword?" In the face of Lu Yifan's hesitation, Ji Yi'er suddenly laughed out loud, she laughed so pure, so innocent, that people would not mention any precautions against her at all, "I really didn't expect that the dignified Lu Yifan would be afraid of me as a little girl today!"
Listening to Ji Yi'er's soft laughter like a silver bell, Lu Yifan's heart became more and more heavy, because he couldn't guess Ji Yi'er's true thoughts anymore.
After a little hesitation, Lu Yifan handed the sword back to Ji Yi'er, and the reason why he did this was just to show Ji Yi'er that he didn't trust her. What's more, in Lu Yifan's heart, he always stubbornly believed that Ji Yi'er would never be born to kill him. Not for anything else, just because she's Ji Yuan's own sister.
And Lu Yifan dared to return the sword to Ji Yi'er for another extremely obscure reason, that is, if Ji Yi'er really did something stupid, he had absolute confidence that he could capture her with his own hands.
"Yes! I deliberately brought you here!" Ji Yi'er, who took the sword, admitted bluntly, "Don't you want me to give you an explanation? Now I can explain all this to you!"
Lu Yifan didn't speak, just stared at Ji Yi'er calmly, as if waiting for her to continue.
"Lu Yifan, I haven't seen you for a few months, but your life is getting more and more comfortable!"
Just when Lu Yifan focused all his attention on Ji Yi'er, a woman's voice mixed with endless softness suddenly sounded from the depths of the mass grave, and then I saw two white-clothed figures, which came like weak willows supporting the wind. And when the faces of these two people were revealed in the moonlight, Lu Yifan's originally puzzled gaze instantly solidified into a bone-chilling cold.
"Mrs. Zhao!" Lu Yifan said in a cold voice word by word, "It turned out to be you!"
Yes, the two women who came belatedly were Mrs. Zhao and her maid Yu'er, who had escaped from Night City that day.
"Yi'er, you ......" Immediately after, a flash of light suddenly flashed in Lu Yifan's mind, and then he glared at Ji Yi'er, who was smiling with an angry face, and was speechless with grief and anger for a while, "You already knew she was here, right?"
"That's right, that's the explanation I'm going to give you!" Ji Yi'er didn't know when she had retreated from Lu Yifan's side, and was standing not far away at the moment, looking indifferently at everything that was going to happen in front of her like an innocent outsider, "I heard that you are already old friends, so I don't need to introduce you too much." It's actually Mrs. Zhao who wants to see you tonight, and I'm just pulling a thread from it!"
"Yi'er, how can you be in cahoots with this person?" Lu Yifan stretched out his hand and pointed directly at Mrs. Zhao, and said angrily to Ji Yi'er, "Do you know that she is a person from the Beast Domain, and she doesn't know how many innocent people she killed in the Night City!
"Lu Yifan, it seems that you really hate me to the core! I heard that you have been looking for me since you came out of Night City?"
"Do you think I won't?" Mrs. Zhao finally succeeded in attracting Lu Yifan's attention, he now fully understood the ultimate purpose of tonight's farce, in fact, the raid on the northern border guard was fake, and it was true that the tiger left the mountain and used Ji Yi'er to lure himself here alone.
Lu Yifan is their ultimate goal tonight.
"How many masters have been ambushed, you might as well call them out!" Lu Yifan sneered and scanned the darkness around him, and said faintly, "Since I have already arrived at this place, there is no need for you to continue to hide!"
"Whew!"
As Lu Yifan's words gradually fell, bursts of creepy wolf howls sounded one after another in the mass grave, and then I saw a pair of blood-red and bright eyes suddenly emerging from behind the graves of all sizes around Lu Yifan, and there were more than 100 pairs of eyes, which meant that hundreds of vicious wolves had gathered around Lu Yifan at this moment.
"A group of brutes!" Lu Yifan glanced at the surrounding wolves with a disdainful gaze, and then a faint coercion also emanated from his body, and the robes on his body were windless, and a thick killing intent suddenly appeared between this heaven and earth, "Do you think you can kill me tonight with these beasts?"
"If you only think that they are an ordinary group of wolves, then you are too wrong!" Madame Zhao stood on top of a grave and suddenly burst out laughing, her laughter sounded unusually arrogant at the moment, "In order to deal with you, I specially summoned more than a hundred masters of the Blood Drinking Wolf Clan from the Beast Domain. Lu Yifan, it's an honor for you to die at their hands tonight!"
After that, I saw that the more than 100 hungry wolves slowly straightened up one by one, and then under Lu Yifan's nose, they transformed from fierce wolves into human shapes. It wasn't until this moment that Lu Yifan felt a strong momentum from them. And what Lu Yifan didn't expect the most was that these more than 100 masters of the blood-drinking wolf clan were all above the soul.
There are more than 100 soul masters, don't say it's Lu Yifan's small four-turn soul spirit, even if the four-turn soul king is afraid, he doesn't dare to resist rashly, right?
"Yi'er, you actually colluded with this group of beasts to harm me?" Lu Yifan looked at Ji Yi'er, who was as calm as ever, in disbelief, and an indescribable grief appeared in his eyes. He never suspected that Ji Yi'er would have ill will towards him, but what happened tonight made him have to believe, "Why do you hate me so much?"
"I don't hate you!I'm just doing what I'm told!" Ji Yi'er's answer was as calm as ever, as if the person Lu Yifan was questioning just now was not her.
"Ordered, whose order are you?" Lu Yifan asked with a frown.
"Do you think I'm going to tell you?" Ji Yi'er replied with a sneer.
"Then have you ever thought about your brother?" Lu Yifan asked again, at this moment, his grief for what Ji Yi'er did was far greater than his hatred for Mrs. Zhao, "Ji Yuan, he ......"
"He's not my brother!" Before Lu Yifan's words could be finished, Ji Yi'er suddenly shouted angrily, his tone was cold and his expression was hideous, Lu Yifan couldn't help but be startled, he didn't expect Ji Yi'er to have such a big reaction when he mentioned Ji Yuan.
"Yi'er, you ......"
"I don't have this brother!" Ji Yi'er's emotions seemed to be a little excited, I saw her eyes red and glaring at Lu Yifan, her fists clenched tightly on her sides, and her bones couldn't be whited, which shows that Ji Yi'er must be extremely angry in her heart at this moment, "Since the day he threw me down, I, Ji Yi'er, no longer have him as a brother! His life or death has nothing to do with me, just like he never cares about my life or death!"
"Yi'er, how can you say that?" Lu Yifan retorted with a surprised face, "Ji Yuan, he has suffered a lot in order to find you all these years......
"He has suffered a lot? Hmph, does he know what I have experienced over the years?" Ji Yi'er said angrily, "I will never forget the day he left me, how desperate I was, I sat alone in the wilderness and cried, my crying throat was dumb, where was my brother at that time? I will never forget the day I was sold to Yu San by the gambler in Wuzu Village, and I will never forget the day when Yu San took me to pay off my debts and pushed me to that group of fierce debt collectors...... I will never forget how they beat and scolded me, how they forced me to do things I didn't want to do, and I will never forget the day they forced me to sell myself and fall into the Qinglou...... At that time, where is my brother and ......" Ji Yi'er's words couldn't go on anymore, because whenever she recalled these unbearable past events, her heart seemed to have to go through the pain and despair of the year again, which made her whole body tremble, and the tears of grief and pain, hatred and anger in her eyes made her enough to bury all the thoughts in her heart, except for resentment, her heart was already gone.
"Yi'er ......" Although Lu Yifan didn't know what Ji Yi'er had experienced over the years, from Ji Yi'er's words just now, Lu Yifan still felt as if his heart had been punched hard, and there was a backlog of grievances in his chest.
Although Ji Yi'er set up a situation to harm him tonight, Lu Yifan could no longer mention the slightest hatred for Ji Yi'er at this moment.
Ji Yi'er wiped away her tears with her cuffs, and then turned her gaze directly to Mrs. Zhao, urging quite impatiently, "Mrs. Zhao, if you don't do it again, you won't have a chance when Lu Yifan'......s people come! Let's shoot!"
"Don't worry! You've done enough, leave the rest to my people!" Mrs. Zhao nodded slyly, and then looked at Lu Yifan with a bloodthirsty face, a look of regret flashed in her big charming eyes, and then said without yin or yang, "It's a pity that such a young and handsome man died like this! But don't worry, after I dig out your heart, Mrs. Ben will definitely enjoy it!"
Lu Yifan was torn between Ji Yier's grief and Mrs. Zhao's hatred, his mind at the moment could be described as chaotic to the extreme, when he heard Mrs. Zhao's words, the feeling of grievance in his heart suddenly turned into a fighting spirit, it seems that now only a hearty bloody battle can make him vent the anger in his heart!
I saw Lu Yifan staring at the scarlet eyes and striding forward towards Mrs. Zhao, and between turning his hands, he also took out the Shenyuan Sword from his waist, and the sword body was already trembling and buzzing when it came out of the sheath. The sound of the sword roared through the heavens and the earth, and the killing intent pointed by the sword blade soared to the sky!
"Hmph!
Facing Lu Yifan's initiative, Mrs. Zhao's eyes suddenly turned cold, and then she greeted her subordinates around her.
Under Madam Zhao's order, hundreds of masters of the blood-drinking wolf clan suddenly rose from the ground like arrows from the string, shooting towards Lu Yifan from all directions!
