After walking for an hour, the sky turned bright and clear, and the two finally reached the foot of the mountain.
Entering the city from the east gate of Longcheng, Luofan took Xue Yuran to an inn for breakfast. In the private room, after Xue Yuran sat down, Luofan disappeared for a while and then came back, but Yu Wenkui had been taken away.
Xue Yuran frowned slightly and said: "No wonder you have to bring me to the inn to eat. You are really not idle at all. You took Yu Wenkui away so quickly. Your affairs have been taken care of, and we can go home. Come on, my father and the others must have been so anxious that they could not sleep all night."
"Hey, Miss Xue, I'm going to pick on you. Don't always think of me so utilitarian. Master Xue and the others must still be waiting in the palace, guarding the Sun and Moon Well. Even if we return to the Prime Minister's Mansion now, we won't see him Man. I have already sent someone to deliver a message to him. We will be able to meet him when we return to the Prime Minister's Mansion after dinner. Besides, now that I want you to return to the palace, what if Li Benxin asks you to take care of your health under the pretext of not letting him go? It’s hard for you to refuse if you leave. Come, eat, eat. I’ve been busy all night and I’m really starving.”
Luofan was very familiar with them and handed Xue Yuran the steamed buns, rice porridge and side dishes.
"Oh, forget it, you always have something to say. No one can take advantage of you when dealing with me." Xue Yuran sighed and had no choice but to eat with his chopsticks.
After breakfast, Luofan drove Xue Yuran back to Xue Mansion in a carriage. After entering the house and washing up, Xue Yuran lay on the bed again and pretended to be sick. Xue Yang hurried over. I didn't believe it at first, but it was a surprise to see Luo Fan escape.
Li Benxin also came to visit and was shocked to see that the two of them were really alive. Everyone knew that Luofan was smart, but it was so unexpected that he went into the well to save people and miraculously returned home the next day.
"Luofan! How did you do it? Where was that madman? How did you escape from the well alive?" A group of people looked at Luofan and asked endlessly.
Luo Fan smiled and said: "I jumped down the well and swam into the secret passage. I happened to meet the madman. The madman was hit by Miss Xue's Qianji Gua. He was poisoned and exhausted. I kicked him into the Bingshui River. , he should have frozen to death long ago. Later, we followed the secret passage to find a way out, and encountered several traps on the way, which we cracked and escaped. "
Li Benxin was full of surprise and asked hurriedly: "The Bronze Gate, the Water and Fire Cave, and the Lava Lake are all extremely powerful traps. How did you two get through?"
"These three levels are indeed difficult, but with the most talented woman in Qicheng here, and I, Luofan, who is also very resourceful, we worked together to crack the password of the mechanism, and then opened the secret passage and escaped."
Li Benxin had a slight smile on his face, but he was inevitably jealous in his heart and felt annoyed at being compared to others. He smiled slightly and said: "It seems that you are a match made in heaven. If you survive a disaster, you will be blessed later. Luofan, you are really brave. There are so many of us who dare not go down the well to save others, but you jumped down the well without hesitation. I heard earlier, You have saved Yuran many times, and it seems that you treat her differently. I see that you and Yuran are similar in age, one is smart and beautiful, and the other is brave and fearless. You have also saved her many times, and this is what you are doing in terms of emotion and reason. It’s your fate, do you want me to be a matchmaker for you?”
After hearing this, Xue Yang's face turned pale with fright, Sima Yuliang was dumbfounded, and everyone else looked stunned. Li Benxin's words were sudden, and everyone was unprepared.
Luofan stepped back a few steps, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Wang, for your kindness. However, I have already fallen in love with someone, so Miss Xue can't keep her high. It is an official's duty to go down a well to save people. The person who fell into the well was an ordinary palace maid, so I will do my duty as an official." She will not hesitate to go down a well to save people, which has nothing to do with Miss Xue’s identity.”
"Huh?? Did you like someone?" Everyone looked over in surprise.
"As expected of the Thunder God Captor, he is truly generous. You are interested in someone who is a daughter of some family. Maybe I can help you?" Li Benxin asked with a smile.
"She is from the mountains, not from the world of mortals. Three years ago, I left her, and we agreed at that time that when I eradicated the civil strife in the court and put an end to the kings and traitors, I would return to the mountains to stay with her for the rest of my life."
"Ah! Is it true or not? It's really a big statement to eradicate the civil strife in the clan and put down all the kings and traitors." Everyone looked pale and whispered.
Li Benxin was also shocked. Every time Luo Fan opened his mouth, he was always shocked, frightening and refreshing. I didn't know if he was telling the truth or a lie, so he smiled slightly and said, "Okay. Then I won't force you. Since Yuran has been rescued, I will go back to the palace first."
Everyone respectfully sent Li Benxin off.
In Xue Yuran's boudoir, she changed her clothes, lay on the bed and drank ginger tea to ward off the cold.
Zhao Xue held her hand and said with a sincere smile: "Yu Ran! Look, Luofan ignored the danger and jumped into such a cold well to save you! Even my eldest brother and I don't have the guts to say this! I absolutely don’t believe that this kid doesn’t like you! After this, I will give your life to him!”
"Hey! I'm sleepy, second sister, let me sleep for a while!" Xue Yuran couldn't stand Zhao Xue's random tricks, so she pretended to be tired and lay down to sleep.
"Hey! Pretend to sleep with the second sister! Luofan is so good, but you still don't like it. Forget it, I'll talk to the master!" Zhao Xue.
Luofan left the chattering crowd and rested for a while in the side hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Not long after, Feng Xue came in a hurry.
Zhong Fengxue said: "Luofan, the Lord of the Dark Pavilion brought news last night. The Scarlet Blood Sect has cleared the southeastern boundary and is preparing to attack the Plum Blossom Villa. The Plum Blossom Villa has also been prepared for a decisive battle with the Scarlet Blood Sect. The Plum Blossom Villa is in full swing. Recruiting troops has increased to 40,000 in just one month. Including other large and small gangs, there are almost 50,000 people. With the iron armor and Yue Gang bow provided by Yuyan Villa, it will not be easy for the Red Blood Sect to easily eat them. . In order to attack Meihua Villa, Qin Zhu, the leader of the Scarlet Blood Sect, went to Jifengyuan in person yesterday and borrowed twenty Tianmen Divine Spears from Sima Yue. According to the secret master’s estimation, Qin Zhu will launch an attack on Meihua Villa in two days. A full-scale attack. He asked you, is this a fight or a draw?"
"Qin Zhu works vigorously and resolutely. There is still a possibility that the tiger will be let go, and the jackal must be eradicated. It seems that I must help Li Chunjin to eliminate them personally. However, this matter still needs to be covered up, and Li Benxin and others cannot know about my relationship with Li Chunjin. Then, I have to find a way to disappear in front of everyone in a fair and just way."
Just as he was talking, the door was suddenly pushed open and Zhao Xue ran in angrily.
Zhao Xue pointed at Luo Fan and asked, "Hey, Luo Fan! You have a wife, why didn't you tell her earlier? It makes me act like a fool in trying to match you up with Yu Ran every day."
"Who asked you to match up? Xue Yuran and I are two different people, how could we be together. I have a wife, why should I tell you!" Luo Fan.
"You're so mad at me! You have a wife, who are you blindly saving every day? I don't know, there is a difference between men and women! Stay away from my home Yuran from now on! You are worse than Sima Yuliang!" Zhao Xue said angrily. Luo Luofan said a few words and then left again.
"This girl is really outspoken. Hey, do you really have a wife?" Zhong Fengxue asked.
"I deceived Li Benxin. Li Benxin proposed marriage, which is digging a big hole for me. If I agree, then Xue Yang and I will no longer be the target of public criticism. Besides, I haven't completed my major affairs yet, so I can't be Li Benxin's love rival. . I said that I have a wife, so that Li Benxin’s hostility and wariness towards me will be reduced by more than half, and he can also clear up his relationship with Xue Yuran. I will always maintain the relationship with Xue Yang and others, whether close or far, and treat them like this It will be of great benefit to me and the future." Luo Fan.
"Yes, if the affairs between men and women are not handled well, it will also lead to bad things. With such an excuse, you will be able to do things much more smoothly in the future. It seems that something happened outside again, let's go out and take a look." Zhong Fengxue was talking. , there was a sudden noise outside.
When the two came outside the door, they saw He Mingming and Ye Tan running over in a hurry, shouting: "Master, master, something happened. Li Tian and Lu Qiaoqiao were beaten to death at the Divine Leg Gate! Now the Iron Master is making trouble. Now, I’m going to find the Divine Leg Gate with all my might!”
Xue Yang and others heard the noise and hurriedly ran out of Xue Yuran's boudoir.
Xue Yang asked anxiously: "How could this happen? Li Tian is the grandson of Li Chaolou, the leader of the Divine Leg Sect. Who dares to kill him? And why should they be killed?"
He Mingming exclaimed: "It's strange to say that the one who beat them to death was Li Chaolou, the master of the Divine Leg Sect! Yesterday, Li Tian and Lu Qiaoqiao left the palace and returned to the Divine Leg Sect together. Who knows, today When the two of them went to greet Li Chaolou in the morning, the old man beat them to death with one palm."
Ye Tan suddenly frowned and said: "I have heard people say that Li Chaolou is the most rigid and ruthless person in the royal family, and he was also the most loyal eagle dog of the previous generation of King Tiandu. He must have seen that Li Tian had defiled King Tiandu. Because of his reputation, he committed such a murderous attack. He even killed his own grandson, which is really inhumane."
"Oh, that's bad! Lu Qiaoqiao is the only daughter of Lu Yuan, the head of the Iron Sect, and now she has been beaten to death. How can Lu Yuan just let it go? I'm afraid this riot is unavoidable. Let's mediate quickly. We can't let the two Let’s start a fight.” Xue Yang shouted hurriedly.
"Brother has gone ahead of time, let's find more people to go. I'm afraid this situation will be difficult." Ye Tan said again.
Luo Fan sighed and said: "I originally wanted to make this couple happy, but I didn't expect it to end in the hands of old guy Li Chaolou. Let's follow suit and find a chance to kill that old guy Li Chaolou later!"
