Chapter 3 A handsome young man of unknown origin came to the Marshal's Mansion
Lu Jianping's body flew down the cliff like a broken line, fortunately, he knew martial arts, and he was also a first-class master in the military camp, if he wasn't hit by an arrow in the shoulder, he might be able to adjust his posture in an instant and grab the branch on the edge of the cliff. But at this moment, he only felt that his shoulders were completely numb, and his consciousness was gradually blurred, and he couldn't see anything clearly at all, and then he only heard a loud "bang", and Lu Jianping fell into the sea under the cliff, and disappeared from the sea in a moment.
When Lu Jianping woke up, it was already noon the next day, and he found himself lying on a wooden couch, and a young girl with a beautiful face and a village girl dressed as a village girl was walking into the house, holding a steaming medicine bowl in her hand.
"Are you awake?"
The young girl walked over quickly, put the medicine bowl on the square stool, and helped Lu Jianping up with all her hands.
Lu Jianping glanced at the inner ring of the house, and said suspiciously: "Little girl, where is this?" How did I end up here?
"Haha"
The young girl "poofed" and smiled: "I'm fifteen years old, not young, and I have a name and a surname, you can call me Yueyue." Big brother, what about you? ”
Lu Jianping hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "My name is Lu Jianping, tell me what's going on?" ”
Yueyue smiled, picked up the medicine bowl and handed it to Lu Jianping: "Brother Lu, you drink the medicine first, be obedient." ”
Lu Jianping smiled bitterly, this little girl looked a little tricky and weird, so she had to drink all the medicine in one gulp. Now he is weak and weak, and he really needs to recover quickly. His consciousness had gradually cleared up, and he had already remembered the whole process of the ambush last night.
Yueyue watched Lu Jianping drink the medicine in one gulp, nodded with satisfaction, smiled playfully, and told all the stories of rescuing Lu Jianping.
It turned out that Yueyue and her grandfather were fishermen in this area, and her parents were all drowned in the sea in a tsunami during a fishing trip, and since then she and her grandfather have lived together for many years. Last night, the grandfather and grandson returned late from fishing, and happened to pass by the waters where Lu Jianping had an accident, and the two saw Lu Jianping fall from the cliff with their own eyes, he just fell into the water, and the grandfather jumped into the water to salvage, the old man had good water quality, and then rescued Lu Jianping ashore and carried him home. As soon as the three of them arrived home, a group of black-clothed people from unknown backgrounds searched all the way from house to house, but fortunately, Yueyue and her grandfather hid Lu Jianping in the cellar. A dozen men in black searched around the village again, but found nothing, and then quickly disappeared. So far, Yueyue and Grandpa haven't made any mistakes about the origin of those people in black, but they just feel that everyone's eyes are so gloomy and terrifying.
Lu Jianping knew very well in his heart that the black-clothed people in Yueyue's mouth were the group of people who appeared on the cliff to chase and kill him. He had been hit by an arrow in the shoulder, but now the wound on the shoulder was bandaged, and it wasn't as sore as it had been. He didn't know what was going on. Yueyue's inquiry about him was only an understatement, saying that it was a minor injury, which was treated by Lang Zhong.
Seeing that he couldn't ask why, Lu Jianping simply stopped asking, closed his eyes and continued to recuperate. In the next half month, Lu Jianping slowly improved under the care of his grandparents and grandchildren, and he was able to walk freely. And in the past half a month, there has also been earth-shattering news in the capital, almost all the people in the Generalissimo's Mansion have been slaughtered overnight, except for the second son, who has not returned from his travels, everyone else has been killed. The imperial court sent Dali Temple to investigate the murderer, and half a month has passed, and there has been no progress. In addition, the rumors of a hundred years ago spread all over the north and south of the river again, and the legendary "Fluttering Pear Blossom Tomb" on Xianxia Island appeared again. It is said that this "Fluttering Pear Blossom Tomb" was built by the ancient immortals Nine Heavens Ninja. The tomb is full of pear blossoms, like a fairyland on earth. But what exactly is in the ancient tomb, few people can say, and almost no one knows the specific location of Xianxia Island, because everyone who has been there has died.
Lu Jianping didn't bother to pay attention to any news of the "Fluttering Pear Blossom Tomb", he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood when he heard the bad news. Under the care of his grandfather and grandson, Lu Jianping recuperated for another two days, and finally sneaked away on a dark and windy night and headed for the direction of the capital. Perhaps the mastermind behind the murder is in the capital. He must immediately go to investigate the truth, find out the culprit, and comfort the spirit of the Marshal's Mansion in the sky.
In the past, the "Fengdu City" at the foot of the Emperor of Nanyun Kingdom was very lively, with teahouses, wine shops, theaters, and shops scattered, and the peddlers and pawns were clearly audible along the street, but these days are not at all like the lively and prosperous scene of the past. Since more than 100 people in the Generalissimo's Mansion were slaughtered overnight, Fengdu City has become extremely deserted. In the city, except for the officials of Dali Temple who are investigating cases everywhere and the Imperial Forest Army who are searching everywhere, there are hardly any pedestrians on the street. Ordinary people are timid, for fear that going out will cause trouble for themselves, so even in broad daylight, they try to shrink in their own homes. Those businessmen who are forced to make a living are also cautious in their operations, and their stalls are closed as soon as it gets dark. The once solemn Generalissimo's Mansion has been sealed, and there are several Imperial Guards standing in front of the door, monitoring the surrounding grass and trees. More than a dozen bold neighbors were not afraid of things, and gathered in the corner of the southwest foot of the Generalissimo's Mansion to whisper, and the content of the exchange was nothing more than related to the bloody case in the Marshal's Mansion.
As the sun set, two people walked in front of one after the other in the long alley. Walking in front was a young scholar with sword eyebrows, a slender figure, and a white robe, followed by a young man dressed as a scholar. The two glanced at the Generalissimo's Mansion for a few moments, then walked towards the crowd. The yin-eyed man could see at a glance that the expression on the young scholar's face was slightly excited and strange.
More than a dozen neighbors also stopped talking, and their eyes were fixed on the young scholar and scholar who had just appeared. They were sure that they had never seen two men on this street. Looking at the two of them, they should be outsiders.
"Excuse me......"
The young scholar opened his mouth, and his voice was clear and magnetic: "Is this mansion in front of you the Generalissimo's Mansion of the Thousand Earthquake Court?" ”
More than a dozen neighbors nodded in unison, and a short and sturdy man looked at the two of them again, and asked in wonder, "Where did you come from?" Looking for the Generalissimo's Mansion? ”
The white-clothed scholar was just about to speak, but the scholar behind him preemptively said: "We are distant relatives of the wife of the thousand generalissimo, may I ask why there is no plaque in this generalissimo's mansion?" I thought I was going wrong. ”
"Hey!"
The short and sturdy man shook his head: "The original plaque has been hanging for decades, and it has just been taken off by the people of the government, you are late, and the people of the Generalissimo's Mansion have been killed a few days earlier." ”
"What did you say?"
The white-clothed scholar's body shook slightly, and his expression was stunned.
The scholar stepped forward and grabbed the arm of the short and sturdy man: "Say it again, make it clearer." ”
"Ouch, you tap, you let go"
The short and sturdy man grinned in pain, and looked at the white-clothed scholar with pitiful eyes, the meaning was very gloomy, hoping that the white-clothed scholar would let his entourage let him go.
The white-clothed scholar glanced at the scholar, who let go of the man's arm, and two cold lights suddenly appeared in his eyes. Such a look did not match the age of this little boy who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old.
"I'll tell you!"
A butcher-looking man walked up to the two white-clothed scholars and told them exactly how they had been assassinated two days earlier in the night.
Before the butcher could finish speaking, the white-clothed scholar couldn't stop trembling all over, and if it weren't for the scholar's support, he might have fallen to the ground.
