Chapter 232: Leaving Night City
readx;?“ Mother?"
Hearing Ah Chang's cry, Lu Yifan was stunned at first, and then he walked forward quickly to take a closer look, and then he determined that the female corpse lying on the ground at this moment was the crazy old woman who had a relationship with him at the city gate that day.

"This ......" For a while, Lu Yifan didn't know how to comfort Ah Chang, in fact, as far as the matter of Night City is concerned, Ah Chang's mother and daughter are definitely life-saving to themselves, although they don't know the real cause of the old woman's death, but Lu Yifan can already guess in his heart.
"How did my mother die?" After the excitement in his heart gradually subsided a little, Ah Changfang raised his teary-eyed face and asked Lan Chen who was sitting next to him with a sad expression.
"Is it you?" It was only at this moment that Lu Yifan suddenly remembered the posture in the lobby at this moment and the various speculations he had just made in the Acacia Forest, and his face couldn't help but become gloomy and scary, and then walked over to Lan Chen unceremoniously.
"Hey, what are you going to do...... Sanchun was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to make a move to block Lu Yifan's advance, but where was he Lu Yifan's opponent, I saw that his hands had just touched Lu Yifan's chest, and his body was instantly bounced away by a brutal force, and he fell heavily to the side, and knocked over a table next to him by the way.
Lu Yifan didn't care about Sanchun's obstruction at all, stepped forward in two steps, reached out and grabbed Lan Chen's collar, and picked Lan Chen up from the stool.
"Lan Chen, you've gone too far!" Lu Yifan glared at Lan Chen, who had a cold face, and then shouted angrily, "You don't like it, why do you want to hurt others?"
"Woooo
Lu Yifan's sudden action startled the guards standing around, and when they realized that their master was threatened, they also shouted angrily, and then they took out their respective swords, and swarmed forward viciously one by one, instantly surrounding Lu Yifan.
"I think which of you dares to move?" At the same time, Liu Sandao and Xie Yun also showed their blades at the same time, protecting Lu Yifan left and right, the tip of the spear pointed horizontally at the surrounding guards, and a heavy killing intent suddenly appeared on the faces of the two.
"My lord, we are here! Brothers, give it to me, protect Lord Lu and the second son!" At this moment, Yin Xi, who had just been ordered to search near Acacia Forest, arrived in time with a group of Wenyang warriors, and before he entered the door, he smelled the momentum of the-for-tat in the inn, Yin Xi immediately shouted angrily, and then without saying a word, he took out the steel knife, and rushed in quickly with the Wenyang warriors.
"Lu Yifan, you said that after entering the Night City, the grievances between you and me will be put aside for the time being! What's the matter? Seeing your posture tonight, isn't it going to break the contract?" Lan Chen let Lu Yifan pull his collar, and looked at Lu Yifan with a sneer on his face full of anger, and there seemed to be a bit of provocation in his words.
"It's not me who broke the contract, it's you!" Lu Yifan said coldly.
"Master Lu, what are you talking about? Old man, why do I get more and more confused the more I hear it?" At this moment, Hai Lao, who had never expressed his position, stood up with a wry smile and started a round, "There must be some misunderstanding in this!"
"Okay, tell me how this woman died?" Lu Yifan said and glanced at the grief-stricken Ah Changhe and the bloody corpse again, presumably this woman must have been tortured when she was dying.
Lu Yifan's words also made Ah Chang quickly raise his head, staring at Lan Chen tightly with tears in his eyes, anxiously waiting for Lan Chen's explanation.
"How do I know how she died?" Lan Chen replied in a cold voice rather dissatisfied, "Isn't she your mother?
"You don't know......" Ah Chang was also a little confused at the moment.
"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding!" Seeing this, Hai Lao hurriedly reached forward and rescued Lan Chen from Lu Yifan's hands, and then blocked Lan Chen with half of his body without leaving a trace, and said to Lu Yifan with a smile, "Lu Gongzi, you misunderstood, this old woman was not killed by us, but we found it at the city gate!"
"What?" Hai Lao's words made Lu Yifan stunned, "You found it on the city gate?"
"Then what's not?" Lan Chen snorted dissatisfiedly, "Do you think Young Master Ben will have the spare time to kill someone who asks for food?"
"You ......" Although Ah Chang was very dissatisfied with Lan Chen's words, he also eliminated the strong hatred she had for Lan Chen just now.
"What do you mean?" Lu Yifan was completely blindsided this time, he waved his hand and motioned for Liu Sandao and the others to put away the sword, and then looked around the scene in the lobby again, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Then what are you ......?"
"In the middle of the night, Hai Lao woke us up, he said that this place is too dangerous, and the Madame Zhao we saw yesterday is not a good stubble, so he plans to persuade me to take someone to leave Night City overnight, so as not to cause any trouble here!" Lan Chen said lightly while arranging his robe, "And I also think that Hai Lao is reasonable, so I want to wake you up and leave together, but I don't think that when I arrive at your room, the room is already empty!" I thought that you had left the Night City without permission, and in a fit of rage you decided to take people out of the city, but I didn't want to find a hanging female corpse on the city gate when I was about to leave the city gate, and when I ordered someone to put the female corpse down and recognized this person as the woman we had seen when we came, I thought to myself that there must be something strange about this matter, maybe you have something to do with it!"
"That's it!" Sanchun, who got up from the ground, covered his sore butt with one hand, and complained with a grin on his face, "Our son found that your carriage outside the city did not leave, so he decided that you must still be in the night city." In order to take care of your safety, our son ignored the dissuasion of me and Hai Lao, insisted on taking people back to the inn, and by the way, he also brought back the female corpse together, originally Gongzi was going to arrange for his subordinates to look for you everywhere, but he didn't think that at this time you came back by yourself! Who knew that when you came back, not only did you not know how to thank our son, but also wronged our son for murder! You ...... You're too ignorant...... aren't you?"
"Sanchun shut up!" Seeing Sanchun with a face full of grievances, Lan Chen couldn't help but show a look of disgust, and then shouted coldly, "What nonsense are you talking about? I came back just to find out about this matter, not to care about anyone's safety! If you dare to talk nonsense again, see that I don't slap your mouth!"
was reprimanded by Lan Chen, Rao is Sanchun had more complaints in his heart, and he could only whimper indignantly, and then stood behind Lan Chen with a face full of grievances, not daring to say anything more.
Of course Lu Yifan knows what kind of character Lan Chen is, and although Sanchun's words are full of resentment, they are also indisputable facts. Lu Yifan first blinked his eyes a few times in embarrassment, and then looked at Lan Chen, and his eyes couldn't help but flash a touch of guilt, and he said softly: "Lan Chen, I was wrong just now! I was too arbitrary and misunderstood you, I'm sorry!"
"Hmph! People like you have never thought about problems with their heads!" Lan Chen didn't appreciate Lu Yifan's affection at all, and still sneered sarcastically. Despite this, Lu Yifan couldn't help but look at Lan Chen a little higher again in his heart, at least Lan Chen was clear about public and private in the face of major rights and wrongs.
In fact, Lan Chen only knew one thing but didn't know the other, in the middle of the night, Hai Lao woke up Lan Chen, but he actually took the antidote of acacia tea for him and Sanchun, otherwise with the medicinal properties of acacia tea, I am afraid that Lan Chen will not wake up until tomorrow. And Hai Lao urged Lan Chen to leave quickly, and he also secretly followed Mrs. Zhao's advice to avoid dreaming too much at night in this land of right and wrong. In fact, when they woke up, Hai Lao already knew that Lu Yifan and the three of them were not in the room, so he deliberately instigated Lan Chen, implying in front of Lan Chen that Lu Yifan left without righteousness, in fact, it was all to stimulate Lan Chen to leave Night City early, in order to make Mrs. Zhao easy to do, so as not to let Lan Chen know too much and delay Mrs. Zhao's major affairs.
Unexpectedly, at the last moment, a female corpse on the city gate made Lan Chen change his mind, which even Hai Lao did not expect. After all, Lan Chen is the master, and Hai Lao is a servant, so even if Hai Lao is unwilling, he can only follow Lan Chen's decision, so this is the farce that is happening today.
It is worth mentioning that during the whole process of tonight, Hai Lao did a very good job of concealing it, so it did not arouse the slightest suspicion of Lan Chen.
"But I'm also curious about what happened to this female corpse?" Lan Chen turned his puzzled gaze to Lu Yifan, "And who is this woman? Why does she call this woman her mother? Could it be that this crazy woman is really her mother......
"Don't you talk about my mother like that!" Before Lan Chen's words were finished, Ah Chang yelled at Lan Chen unceremoniously, "She is my mother, not a person who asks for food, let alone a crazy woman!"
Ah Chang's words made Lan Chen's eyebrows can't help but rise, and then a faint chill in his eyes erupted, but fortunately, Lu Yifan reached out and grabbed Lan Chen's arm in time when he saw this, which made Lan Chen not get mad: "For the sake of your mother who just died, I don't know you like a woman today!"
"Lan Chen, did you notice any other people when you found the corpse?" Seeing this, Lu Yifan hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "Or do you know who killed her?"
"Lu Yifan, you haven't answered me the question I asked you just now, but now you are asking me in turn?" Lan Chen snorted dissatisfiedly, "When I found her, she had already been hung on the city gate, as for who killed her, I don't know who killed her, it was dark around at that time, and there was not even a ghost, let alone the person who killed her! Now it's your turn to answer me, where did you run tonight? And I see that you people are covered in blood, are you fighting with someone?" When Lan Chen asked this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and asked tentatively, "Isn't it related to that Mrs. Zhao?"
"Clever!" Seeing this, Lu Yifan simply stopped hiding it from Lan Chen, and told him everything that happened tonight, which surprised Lan Chen a lot, and Lu Yifan had been cautiously observing the reactions of Lan Chen and the others after hearing about it, but he never noticed anything unusual. Lu Yifan thought to himself: If it weren't for them pretending to be too good, it would be that they really didn't know. And as far as he knew, Lan Chen should not be good at this kind of disguise, it seems that he really doesn't know anything about this matter.
"What a yaksha, the people of the Beast Domain are too bold to dare to step on such a deep place in the Sacred Domain, I think they are simply impatient!" Lan Chen scolded viciously, "It's a pity that you didn't kill this Madam Zhao tonight, I should have known that you should have informed me early, and I might be able to kill her with you!"
"It's useless, Mrs. Zhao's * technique is so powerful, even if you go, I will be stunned!" Lu Yifan said and glanced sideways at the old shopkeeper and a few guys who were stunned on the side, after listening to Lu Yifan's story, Lan Chen naturally understood why they were now with such a lost soul.
"You and I will be the people of the Border Guard Mansion soon, the duty of the Border Guard Mansion is to defend the safety of the frontier, this matter is not over, as long as that Mrs. Zhao does not escape back to the Beast Domain, we will see her again one day!" Lan Chen said lightly, "When the time comes, I will definitely not let her go like you!"
"Let's wait until you see her!" Liu Sandao smiled disdainfully, "Is there a use in talking so much now?"
"Yifan, if my expectations are correct, this old woman should have been killed by Madam Zhao when she was escaping!" Xie Yun suddenly opened his mouth to analyze, "We ruined her good deeds tonight, and we also killed her Ah Jiu, so that she could not gain a foothold in Night City, and she will definitely hate us to the core." In the final analysis, these changes will all happen because of the help of Ah Chang's mother and daughter, so Mrs. Zhao must have hated Ah Chang's mother and daughter to the extreme, so it is not impossible to kill this woman to vent her anger before leaving!"
"Xie Yun's words are good, I think so too!" Hai Lao nodded and agreed, "As soon as I saw that Mrs. Zhao yesterday, I knew that she was definitely not that simple!"
"Actually, as soon as I saw your old man, I also felt that you were also very simple!" Liu Sandao said in a meaningful manner.
"Haha, little brother, don't make fun of me, old man, I'm timid, but I can't stand this kind of joke from my little brother!" Hai Lao was not in a hurry, he still greeted Liu Sandao with a smile on his face, and the more he was so afraid, the more Liu Sandao concluded that there must be something wrong with him.
"Yin Xi!" Lu Yifan suddenly called, "You take a few people to help Ah Chang bury her mother! Their mother and daughter suffered this disaster this time to save us, be careful when buried!"
"Yes!" Yin Xi happily agreed, and then walked towards the old woman's corpse with two big men.
And before Yin Xi could help Ah Chang up, Ah Chang suddenly stretched out his hand to wipe his tears, and then turned around suddenly and knelt down in front of Lu Yifan with a 'poof', which caught Lu Yifan off guard for a while and didn't know what to do.
"Ah Chang, you are ......"
"Childe, I know that you are going to the Frontier Guard Mansion, and you are a person with the background and ability! Ah Chang has been dependent on my mother since he was a child, and our mother and daughter have been helpless since our father left, and they live in this night city all day long. Now that my mother is gone, I will only be left alone in the future, Ah Chang has no long things, and there is nothing else to ask for in this life, but to avenge the dead mother. But Ah Chang knew that he had no ability to take revenge, so he wanted to implore Gongzi to be merciful and take Ah Chang for the time being, and take Ah Chang all the way north, Ah Chang was willing to stay by Gongzi's side as a cow and a horse to serve Gongzi. When Ah Chang leaves a small life, he will go north to the beast domain to find his father and be ashamed of his mother!
In this situation, Liu Sandao and Xie Yun couldn't help but glance at each other, and there was a look of helplessness in their eyes.
"Wouldn't you kill yourself when you went north alone to go north to the Beast Domain?" Yin Xi persuaded worriedly, "It's better to stay here and live a peaceful life in the future......
"My mother is dead, and Ah Chang has no more stable days!" Ah Chang said silently, and then kowtowed to Lu Yifan again, and this head was heavier and heavier, so that blood oozed from her delicate head.
"You get up first, don't kneel anymore!" Lu Yifan waved his hand and used a soft force to hold Ah Chang up, and then turned his eyes for help to Liu Sandao and Xie Yun, while one of them pretended not to see it, while the other was crying and laughing.
In desperation, Lu Yifan set his eyes on Lan Chen again, but Lan Chen's answer was much more direct and refreshing: "Women are a trouble sooner or later, if I were you, you would never care about this kind of trouble!"
"Don't bother, Ah Chang will definitely not cause any trouble to Childe, Ah Chang just wants to have the opportunity to reach the Zhuo Wolf Grassland with Childe, and then Ah Chang will go north to the Beast Domain alone, and he will definitely not drag Childe down at all!" Ah Chang said and wanted to kneel down again, but was stopped by Lu Yifan, who was quick-eyed.
"That's it!" Lu Yifan sighed, and then said to Ah Chang with a light smile, "You have a life-saving grace for me, and my mother taught me to be a man to know how to repay kindness, and distinguish between good and evil." Therefore, I cannot but agree to your request today, and I agree to take you with me to the north, and as for being a cow or a horse, there is absolutely no need. And I can also promise you, as long as Mrs. Zhao is still in the Holy Domain, I Lu Yifan will avenge your mother's murder!"
"Thank you for your great kindness, Ah Chang is toothless and unforgettable!" Ah Chang's eyes overflowed with tears again, and as he spoke, he turned around and threw himself down in front of his mother, whimpering and said, "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely find my father one day!"
"Hmph, I'm asking for trouble!" Lan Chen snorted disdainfully, and then led people out of the inn, "Lu Yifan, it's already dawn, I'll take a step first, I've been pressed behind by you for the past few months, this time I'll see how you can catch up with me!"
Regarding Lan Chen's provocation, Lu Yifan at this moment naturally didn't take it to heart anymore, just laughed it off.
At this moment, the eastern sky was already white, and in the midst of a bustling noise, the two teams walked out of the night city one after the other, and continued to go north. For here, they are just passers-by after all!
And Night City is about to usher in a new day!
This time, it's a real new day!
