Everyone, if you see that it is a random anti-theft chapter, it means that you V did not buy half of the chapters. After killing the man in black, the atmosphere relaxed.
The young man in rich clothes who thought he was doomed sat down on the ground. He was so shocked that he suddenly looked at Yan Changlan with an expression that was both shocked and grateful: "You... Xia Xia... Xia Xia! Thank you for saving my life. !”
Yan Changlan put away his sword, walked over and stretched out his hand to give him a hand: "You're welcome, it's just a little effort."
The young man in colorful clothes stood up, dusted himself off, and said a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry."
Ye Shu never came, but said from afar: "Take him back."
Yan Changlan said to the young man in colorful clothes: "It's late at night and it's not safe for you to be alone outside. We found a ruined temple in front of us to rest. Why don't you come too."
Naturally, the young man in colorful clothes nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay! Thank you two heroes!"
Yan Changlan smiled and said: "It doesn't have to be like this. My name is Yan Changlan, and this is my good friend Ye Shu. You can just call me by our names."
The young man in colorful clothes looked at Ye Shu and saw that he nodded slightly to him. He felt a little more at ease and quickly said: "Brother Yan, Brother Ye, my name is Luo Ziyao, and I live in the capital."
After the three introduced each other, they came to the ruined temple together.
As for the body of the man in black, he ignored it - there were many wild things in the mountains, and when tomorrow came, there would only be a handful of bones left.
When they arrived at the ruined temple, Yan Changlan blocked the door.
The fire in the temple was still burning, adding warmth inside. As soon as Luo Ziyao walked in, he took a long breath and said, "I'm finally alive. It's really cold and damp outside."
Several people sat down around the fire.
Yan Changlan then asked: "Brother Luo, is that man in black your enemy just now?" He paused for a moment and said, "You don't seem to be very proficient in martial arts. When you go out, you should bring more people with you."
Luo Ziyao waved his hands and rubbed his face: "Don't mention it. When I came out, I brought more than ten guards with me. More than half of them were spies. The few who were loyal before were killed. My skills are shallow and I can't resist. , just when I was about to die, another man in black came. I didn’t recognize the man in black. I thought he was coming to save me, but I didn’t expect that after he slaughtered the spies, he came after me. ...If you two hadn’t happened to come here, I probably wouldn’t have been able to escape the murderous hand.”
When Yan Changlan and Ye Shu heard this, they knew that there might be something private inside, so they stopped asking any more questions.
Luo Ziyao, on the other hand, now believed in the two of them very much, so he took the initiative and said: "I think about it carefully, this should be a conspiracy by someone in my house. As long as I am killed, they will have a chance." At this point, he chuckled, " It’s a pity that I’m still alive. When I go back, I’ll take a good look at those faces.”
While listening to what he said, Yan Changlan roasted two more pieces of meat for him and said, "Don't think too much, eat something first."
Luo Ziyao took the meat, smelled it, and almost burst into tears: "Thank you so much, Brother Yan, you and Brother Ye saved my life, and now you have saved my stomach!" After that, he ate with big mouthfuls. got up.
That night he was chased and ran for his life, and he suffered a lot. Naturally, he was tired and hungry...
After eating, Luo Ziyao leaned on a pile of straw and yawned, with a look of laziness on his face: "To be honest, I still don't know where these two brothers are going after so much travel."
Yan Changlan said: "There is no special place to go. It's just that the two of us were very interested in the strange things, so we read some miscellaneous notes and wanted to go to those places."
Luo Ziyao was startled after hearing this.
Ye Shu closed his eyes to rest and did not join in the conversation between the two.
Luo Ziyao hesitated for a while, then suddenly lowered his voice: "You two...do you want to seek immortality and visit the Tao?"
This time it was Yan Changlan's turn to be stunned.
——The matter of seeking Tao should be very secret. How come he accidentally saved someone on the road and heard about it from his mouth?
Ye Shu seemed to have never thought about it and opened his eyes.
Luo Ziyao smiled: "You two don't know something."
Yan Changlan Su Rong said: "Brother Luo, I would like to hear the details."
Luo Ziyao first said: "Who are you, and why are you chasing me?" Then he stopped talking and continued: "Now the royal family, civil servants and generals in the capital have received secret reports, and the children of each family can be selected to attend Qionghua. Banquet. It is said that an immortal appeared at the Qionghua Banquet. If you are favored, you can follow the immortal to the immortal family's blessed land, and you are expected to become an immortal."
After that, Luo Ziyao talked about his identity.
It turns out that he is the prince of Beihou in Jingcheng Town and the only legitimate son. However, his father Zhenbeihou has a romantic nature and has more than twenty or thirty concubines in his family. Among the concubines born to him, there are three who are older than Luo Ziyao alone. There are no less than seven or eight people younger than him, which can be said to be a prosperous lineage.
However, the rules of the dynasty clearly stated that the family property could not be inherited by the legitimate son. If there was no legitimate son, even if there was one person within the fifth generation, the bastard son could not be supported. Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens in the future, Luo Ziyao will be the next Marquis of Zhenbei.
If it were just like this, no one would have any idea of Luo Ziyao, but if there is a chance to follow the immortal and seek immortality, who in the world would give up? This one only looks at the "immortal fate", but it is not divided into legitimate concubines.
But as long as Luo Ziyao lives, the place in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion will definitely fall on him. How can those concubines have anything to do with him? Therefore, several vicious concubines joined forces to kill Luo Ziyao first, and then compete for the position. And if Luo Ziyao dies, no matter how angry his father in the capital is, he can only select people from among the concubines to go to the Qionghua Banquet. Otherwise, all the other prefectures have a fairy fate, but Zhenbei Hou Mansion does not, so he will be better than others. Falling behind.
Speaking of this, Luo Ziyao sneered: "Although every family except the royal family only has one quota, those concubines don't know that if the legitimate son can be selected, they can choose two people to go with him as bodyguards. My father and I We have a tacit understanding that once I am selected by the Immortal, I will choose two brothers and sisters from the common branch of the family to go with me. Now I don’t know which vicious woman wants to kill me. In this case, I don’t want to take advantage of them." He looked at Yan Changlan Ye Shu, no longer looked as lazy as before, but looked solemn, "I heard that you two are also looking for immortality. If you don't mind, you can accept the guard quota and follow me to the blessed land of immortals. So-called ' "Guards" was originally a gimmick, to let us choose people who can help each other. Some may be real guards, while others are not and just go there in name. After what happened today, I think it is better to find someone who knows whether If I go with the concubine who harbors evil intentions, it is better to give this benefit to the two saviors. If the concubine comes forward, I am afraid he would like to trample me to death, but if the two come forward, they are willing to protect me. "
These words are enough to show Luo Ziyao's sincerity.
Ye Shu thought secretly.
The traces of the monks are elusive. Instead of searching for them in a few unknown places, it is better to go with Luo Ziyao. If Luo Ziyao can be selected, it will be a great thing; if he cannot be selected, they can also think of other ways to deal with this matter.
According to him, whether he is chosen or not depends entirely on his spiritual roots. As long as he has his spiritual roots, everything is easy to say.
Naturally, although Ye Shu felt that this incident was quite similar to the scene when the sect went down the mountain to accept disciples, firstly, this was the realm of mortals, and monks would not come easily, let alone accept disciples here, which was really unusual; secondly, There may not be some evil cultivators pretending to be righteous, deceiving good seedlings, and carrying out their secret purposes.
However, this incident involves members of the royal family. If the royal family is not stupid, there may be some reasons for it. But no matter what, even if there is something fishy in it, it is still a rare opportunity for them now.
Ye Shu took a straight look at Luo Ziyao at this moment.
This boy has a good nature and is quite straightforward. If he can really enter the realm of monks, it will not be a big deal to take care of him in the future.
After thinking about it, Ye Shu nodded slightly towards Yan Changlan.
Seeing Ye Shu's behavior, Yan Changlan said to Luo Ziyao, "You should seize such an opportunity. Thank you Brother Luo."
Luo Ziyao saw that there was a tacit understanding between the two people, and the leading person among them was Ye Shu.
In his heart, he had a better impression of Yan Changlan, the real savior. At this time, he accepted the thanks and said: "You're welcome, I haven't repaid the two of you for saving your life, and now I don't know if I can be selected. I don't deserve Brother Yan's gratitude." .”
Yan Changlan asked him again about the current situation in the capital, trying to learn more about it.
Although Ye Shu never spoke much to Luo Ziyao, he kept listening to their conversation, constantly thinking about it, sorting out a lot of information from it, and writing it down one by one.
After Luo Ziyao told Yan Changlan everything he could say, he realized that he was extremely tired and fell asleep just like that. Yan Changlan and Ye Shu took a nap and meditated until dawn.
The next day, the three of them hit the road together.
With a person like Luo Ziyao, who is not very skilled in martial arts, holding him back, the journey will naturally be slower. The way was still mainly through jungles, mountains and other edge places. With Yan Changlan opening the way, Ye Shu felt that there was no danger.
About a month later, we finally arrived in the capital.
At the gate of the city, Luo Ziyao's face alone was able to pass without any obstruction. He took Yan Changlan and Ye Shu directly to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion in a majestic and swaggering manner.
In front of the gate of the Hou Mansion, the guard looking at the door looked happy when he saw Luo Ziyao: "Why did the prince take so long to come back? The prince heard that the prince went hunting outside the city at that time and disappeared for some reason. He was very anxious. People were sent everywhere to look for the prince. Now that the prince is back, the Marquis must be extremely happy!"
