"Lin Bao, why were you kicked out of the family?"

Lin Bao's expression darkened when he heard this, and he was about to speak when he saw Xiaoyu handing over the pen and paper, and Wei Zhuang also took the reins in his hand and drove the car.

Seeing this, Lin Bao sighed and wrote on the paper.

He wrote a lot of words, and it took him a while to finish.

Roughly speaking, he abandoned his studies because he had been studying gunpowder, and his mother always scolded him because he hated iron and steel, and finally he couldn't stand it and wanted to hide for a while.

As a result, this guy turned out to be a road idiot, and after leaving the imperial capital, he got lost, and he could only wander around a few towns indiscriminately, the key is that he couldn't go right if there were kind people to show him the way.

After he consumed the coils on his body, he could only wander, relying on the help of passers-by to survive for more than a month.

Today, Lin Bao was also looking for a way back to the imperial capital, but after walking not far away, he fainted on the road hungry, and then met Wei Zhuang and his party.

Look at what's on the paper.

The three of them had black lines all over their faces.

How can this plot be so familiar?

Wei Zhuang took a breath and remembered a certain master.

"So what do you do next, do you have any plans?" Wei Zhuang asked him.

Lin Bao's expression was a little gloomy, and he wrote on the paper: Go home.

Wei Zhuang pinched a handful of sweat, "I think it's a bit difficult for you to go home." ”

Lin Bao lowered his head, a little sad.

"Don't worry, you just saved our lives, and we won't leave you alone."

Wei Zhuang thought about it and gave him two choices.

"The first choice, after entering the city in a while, I will hire a carriage to send you directly back to the imperial capital."

"The second option, you go with us, and you go back with us when the trip is over, but it will take a little longer, maybe a few months."

Feng Shuwan was a little surprised when she heard this.

Before this trip, Zhuge Mu directly sent dozens of people to follow them, what guards, palace maids, eunuchs, cooks...... I almost sent troops to follow.

But these were sternly rejected by Wei Zhuang, according to his words.

This trip is a private visit to Weifu, and it is not a personal expedition, what are you doing with so many people?

So for Wei Zhuang's proposal to take Lin Bao with her, Feng Shuwan was a little strange.

And Wei Zhuang naturally did this for a reason.

The reason is that his sword was snatched away by a female killer.

It wasn't any sword, it was symbolic.

To put it simply, that sword is the emperor's token, and it is also the confidence of Wei Zhuang and the others on this trip without guards, because by showing the sword to the local yamen, the magistrate can know their identity and help.

When the sword is lost, so is their identity.

At this time, Lin Bao is very important, his musket can provide effective protection for Wei Zhuang and several people, and such a talent, Wei Zhuang does not want to let him go.

Looking at Lin Bao on the side, he showed a very excited state after listening to Wei Zhuang's suggestion, and stretched out two fingers without thinking about it.

"Two!"

……

Near dusk, Wei Zhuang's carriage finally arrived at the city gate.

There are three big characters engraved on the top of that - Jing'an Mansion.

Arriving here also means that he has completely left the scope of the imperial capital and entered Yunzhou, one of the three states of Qianguo, and Jing'an Mansion is the richest place in Yunzhou, and it is also the important town of Gongwei Imperial Capital.

The carriage was driving through the streets of Jing'an Province, and at this time the vendors on both sides of the road had already packed their things and were ready to leave.

"It's too early for the vendors here to close their stalls." Xiao Yu looked at the sky outside the window, and the sun had not completely set at this time.

If it is in the imperial capital, this is the time of prosperity and excitement.

"Why are these passers-by in a hurry?" Feng Shuwan looked at the pedestrians outside the window and asked casually.

When Wei Zhuang saw it, he also frowned.

At this time, there are not many pedestrians on the road, but everyone's pace is fast, and their expressions are also very nervous, and there is no sense of calmness in ordinary life.

It's like she's hiding from something.

However, what happened next made Wei Zhuang feel that this Jing'an Mansion was very wrong!

Seeing that it was getting late, several people wanted to find an inn to stay.

When Wei Zhuang found the inn and went to inquire, the store received him very warmly.

However, when Feng Shuwan and Xiaoyu entered the store, the store's face changed, and then they said that there were no vacant rooms.

No matter how Wei Zhuang questioned, the store was indifferent.

A few people didn't bother too much in order to avoid trouble, after all, there were many inns in the city.

I looked for four or five more inns, but found that the response of the shops was surprisingly consistent.

All of them changed their faces after seeing Feng Shuwan, and then said that there was no vacancy and could not be accommodated.

……

Several people returned to the carriage, feeling a little depressed.

Especially Feng Shuwan, being treated differently for no reason, it is really unpleasant.

"Lin Bao, let's go further, if there is really no inn, let's find someone to spend the night."

"Good!"

The carriage continued to walk along the road, and Lin Bao kept an eye on the merchants on both sides of the road.

It was getting late, and it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

There were only a few people on the streets.

"Help!"

A shrill shout broke the silence of the night.

The passers-by around looked frightened when they heard this, and quickened their pace.

Feng Shuwan's face tightened.

"Someone seems to be shouting for help."

"I hear you." Wei Zhuang had a calm face.

"Lin Bao, look for the voice."

Lin Bao immediately turned around and opened his mouth to say something, but the more anxious he was, he couldn't say it, so anxious that he gave himself a mouthful.

Then he stopped the carriage and pointed to a small alley on the right side of the road.

"Did the cry for help come from there?"

Lin Bao nodded vigorously.

Wei Zhuang got out of the car and looked into the alley.

The alley was dark, like a black hole.

Wei Zhuang instructed: "Lin Bao, you stay in the car to protect your sister-in-law, whoever dares to come over will bombard him with gunpowder." ”

Feng Shuwan poked her head out of the car worriedly.

"It's too dangerous for you to go in on your own."

"I'll just go and see, if it's dangerous, I'll run away as soon as possible."

With that, Wei Zhuang went into the darkness alone.

Lin Bao took out a bamboo tube and a flotting stick from his wooden box, and looked around with a wary expression.

……

The alley is actually not deep, but it is slightly bent in the middle, so it looks very dark.

Wei Zhuang stopped at the turn, hid his figure and looked inside.

In the deepest part of the alley, there are two sneaky figures.

Wei Zhuang narrowed his eyes and gathered his gaze.

I saw a man lying at the feet of the two figures.

It was a woman, her hands and feet were tied, and she had a mass of stuff in her mouth.

"The dead girl still dares to scream, and if she resists, she will kill you directly."

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and carry it back for the young master."

"Hehe, it's not common for such a good-looking little girl to be seen, the young master is really blessed."

"Hmph, you behave well, maybe the young master will be able to reward you for fun when he gets tired of playing."

Listening to the increasingly disgusting conversation between the two, Wei Zhuang's eyes showed murderous intent.
