Not long after the two of them left the mansion, the Fan family's wife Mei Rufang followed the two maids and walked towards Ruoshui. At the same time, she did not forget to take a few glances outside the mansion door.
Seeing that Ruoshui was so happy and looking outside the house from time to time, he deliberately asked: "Ruoshui, which rich family is that?"
"Mom! What kind of rich man is he?"
"Then why don't you tell me about it! You can visit my family some other time. You are now a grown-up, and it's time to find a husband! My mother is still waiting to have a grandson!"
"Mom! What are you talking about!" Although Ruoshui's cheeks were red and she was a little embarrassed, she was secretly embarrassed and full of joy.
"My mother is not a fool. How can I still not guess my daughter's thoughts? My mother has been away for so long, and I still look at her again and again. Could it be that I have fallen in love with her? Why? I can see that too. Come on, Wang Yu is kind-hearted and blocked the stone for you. Even if he doesn't show mercy, he still suffers for you. You should thank him for this, right?"
"Mother! Ruoshui knows. One day, wouldn't it be okay for Ruoshui to come and thank her?" Ruoshui said, then stood up and rubbed her mother's shoulders.
"Okay! Okay! For my mother's sake! My love for you is not in vain." After saying that, Mei Rufang touched the soft little hand on her shoulder, looked at the lotus pond in the distance, and continued: "It's a pity that your father has lost his temper all these years. No news from her, and I don’t know where she went! As a mother, I’m always not sure.”
"Mom! Daddy, she will come back." Ruoshui followed her mother's hand, walked in front of her, and pushed herself into her mother's arms, feeling the slightest warmth.
"I hope so!"
All the noise in Yuzhou City came from that windy place. Of course, there was also the sound of the wheels rolling over the stone pavement. On the street, people were coming and going, but they couldn't hide their steps. Because they were chasing a man in gray with a draped hat in the crowd. I saw the man speeding up his pace and walking towards the alley where a beggar was.
"Uncle! Uncle! Well done! Give me some food money! The little one hasn't eaten all day!" The beggar stared at his unkempt and dirty hair and blocked the way of the two of them. Holding a wooden stick in one hand and a broken bowl in the other, he begged the two people in front of him for food money.
"Go away! Don't spare me!" The man pushed the beggar away with one hand and walked quickly into the alleyway.
"This kid's speed is quite fast! In the blink of an eye, he's gone!" The man looked around and said in disbelief.
"It seems that he has escaped! Let's go back!" The other person was a little frustrated and was too lazy to chase, so he turned around and returned the same way.
"What bad luck! Bah!" Seeing that the beggar was causing trouble, the man couldn't help but rolled his eyes fiercely, spat at him, and turned around to leave.
After seeing the two of them leaving, Mr. Pu showed up.
"Thank you so much just now!"
"It won't be a problem to stop the two dogs!" The beggar stood up and looked at the two people leaving, then patted his chest with disgust.
"I think you should not be too happy for too long! Their spies are everywhere in this city. It's easy to get in, but it may be difficult to get out."
"Why?"
"Because they have noticed that we have entered the city. They will set up dragnets everywhere, waiting for us to get inside!"
"You mean the two just now?"
"What do you think?" Mr. Pu glanced at the beggar and said, "I advise you to leave the city as soon as possible! Otherwise, it will be too late. By then, none of us will be able to leave!"
"Then what do they do?"
"Don't worry! I think they don't dare to take action yet. After all, they are also members of the Xuanzhen Sect. Unless there is someone behind them who is not afraid of the Xuanzhen Sect. Otherwise, none of them will dare to take action."
"With your words, I feel relieved." The man then turned and left.
The night had already gradually darkened. The stars in the sky also began to gradually brighten. Only the front of the mansion looked so dark. Other than that, it was pitifully cold, and except for the sound of crickets hiding underground, everything seemed extraordinarily quiet.
On the tower, the soldiers, who were always on alert during the day, were already exhausted and in a hazy state. And the figure also used the dim moonlight to cross the city wall without anyone noticing.
A strong wind blew, and the soldiers panicked. They stood up and looked under the city wall, but it was indeed empty. Little did he know that someone had already escaped.
At this time, Fan Mansion also seemed very quiet.
There was only a gust of wind, and a figure jumped out from the towering courtyard wall.
This person was dressed in plain clothes and a black gauze curtain hat, which was comparable to the night.
No matter how mysterious this person pretended to be, he was eventually intercepted by two people one after the other.
"Should I call you Young Master Pu! Or should I call you Miss Pu?" Su Xin pointed her sword at the person in front of her, looked at the sky, and said confidently: "I should call you Miss Pu more appropriately."
I saw that this person gave everyone a particularly cold feeling. Because this person's behavior made both of them feel very strange. No one knew the expression on the man in black's face at this time, and he didn't even make any unnecessary movements. To be precise, since the man in black was blocked by the two men, he has been standing on the same spot and has not moved at all. What is even more puzzling is that there is no sharp weapon in his hand, and where is the sword hidden? It has always been a mystery. Perhaps this person did not have a sword.
The night seemed to get darker. The moonlight has not yet cast a ray of light on the earth's surface. But just because the night was getting darker, the man in the black gauze hat began to move, and he struck suddenly so that the two of them could not be on guard.
"Ss—!"
A dazzling white light suddenly emerged from the man's waist, with a speed that no one could match. With a neighing sound, he went straight to Su Xin's face.
Su Xin, who was caught off guard, quickly blocked it with her sword.
"Ding--!"
A dazzling spark pierced the void. The sword was so soft that it actually wrapped around Su Xin's blade. Fortunately, Su Xin held the sword firmly and passed her diagonally. The spear and sword spread out, almost slicing her face.
Wang Yu, who was stabbing from behind, also forced the man in black aside. So Su Xin was also out of danger. The man turned around to avoid Wang Yu's sword tip, then turned around and stabbed Su Xin again with a neighing sound. Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Yu hurriedly put his body in front of Senior Sister Su Xin to welcome the terrifying sword.
Seeing Wang Yu standing in front of Su Xin, this person quickly retracted his sword, turned around, and stood not far away.
The two of them looked at the person in front of them without knowing why. This person's martial arts was indeed higher than the two of them. Although he was a little frightened, he still asked the person in front of him.
"Why don't you take action!" Wang Yu looked at the person in front of him and asked without knowing why.
This person didn't say anything to Wang Yu, he just raised his hand and pointed at Senior Sister Su Xin behind Wang Yu, hinting to walk towards her.
Su Xin was not afraid, but walked out boldly.
"Senior sister!"
"Don't worry! She won't do anything to me!" Su Xin said confidently.
Seeing this, Wang Yu didn't say much. Su Xin walked towards the person in front of her.
Su Xin could see that the woman in front of her had no ill intentions, so she said, "Thank you for showing mercy to my junior brother, sir?"
"What is your relationship with him?" The woman pointed her sword at Su Xin's throat and asked him coldly.
"Don't get me wrong, girl, he and I have always been just brother and sister. There has never been any excessive behavior between me and him." After hearing the woman's question, Su Xin suddenly understood something in her heart.
"I wonder if the girl was the messenger that day?"
"That's right! It's me!"
"That uncle and aunt were also buried by the girl!"
"Yes, I saw that they were pitiful, so I asked someone to bury them!" The woman was a little impatient and said to the two of them again: "Do you still want to ask me the truth about their deaths?"
"That's right! We hope that the girl can report truthfully."
"If I told you that they died of a disease, would you believe it?"
"Of course I don't believe it! I just hope the girl can tell the truth!"
"What I just want to tell you is that this matter should end here and don't follow it any further. That would be good for both you and me. Otherwise, if I offend some people's interests, then I'm afraid our life and death will be very important." It’s hard to predict.”
"You mean those officers and soldiers?"
"Not entirely!"
"Is there a bigger conspiracy behind this matter?" Su Xin seemed to have anticipated the seriousness of the matter and looked at the person in front of her in disbelief.
"Whoosh——" The sharp sword was placed on Su Xin's neck in an instant.
"What do you want to do?" At this time, Wang Yu also ran over, drew his sword, and pointed it at the man in black in front of him.
"I said! This is the end of the matter. If you dare to talk any more, I will kill you!" The man in black warned Su Xin coldly, regardless of Wang Yu's sharp sword.
"Since the girl has nothing to do with the matter, why should you be afraid that we will investigate the matter?" Su Xin chuckled and continued: "In my opinion, the connection between the girl and this matter is not that simple."
"I said, this matter has nothing to do with me. The reason why I asked you to stop here is because of my original intention, and it is also a promise to others. I hope you won't make things difficult for me!" As he spoke, Wang couldn't help but glance at Wang. feather.
"In that case, we will promise you." Wang Yu knew that if things continued like this, there would be no good results, so it was better to just pretend to agree and then make plans.
"Haha!" The woman chuckled and saw Wang Yu's plan. She shifted her gaze from Wang Yu to Su Xin and said, "I'm not asking about you, but her!"
"Okay! I promise you, we'll let this matter go!" Su Xin glanced at Wang Yu unbearably, then turned back to the man in black and said.
"I want to see actual action!" The man in black glanced at Wang Yu again and said to Su Xin: "I want to watch you two leave here at noon tomorrow! Of course, the sooner the better! Try not to let I've been waiting for a long time, otherwise——"
"Otherwise you will kill both of us, right?"
"That's right! I hope you can understand my good intentions. After leaving here, stay well at Xuanzhen Gate and don't come out. This is what I want to see!" I gave Wang Yu one last look. , warned him: "Put away those little thoughts of yours, otherwise I won't let you go!"
"I hope what you said can be true to your word!" As soon as he finished speaking, he walked away and disappeared from the eyes of the two of them.
[Question: 1. Mr. Park said that he was entrusted by someone to keep the two of them away from this place and not pursue the matter. Who could that person be?
2. Will the two of them really agree to leave this place and stop investigating the matter? Why? 】
