A few hours later.
The winter rain began to fall.
Li Wan followed Li Jiangliu away, and the thousands of soldiers escorted Zhu Shi and the families of his adopted sons and evacuated the city.
Thousands of lights in the Lion Tower were extinguished, and the Lion City Walled City returned to the large areas of dead energy it had a few years ago.
In the hut on the road next door, Gu Cunhua lit a charcoal fire, with small sparks and short flames, but it was another warm scene.
Lu Ran, Hui Huan, Yang Ya and the little girl were roasting sweet potatoes by the charcoal fire.
Gu Cunhua said there was no wine at home, so she brought a few cups of tea and sat down next to the little girl.
Yang Ya stared at Gu Cunhua's sleeves with joy in his eyes and asked, "What kind of treasure is this?"
Gu Cunhua smiled and said that they were just some small magic weapons of casual cultivators, not as good as the treasures inherited from your serious second-generation disciples.
Yang Ya said sternly, only I am the second generation, one of these two is the third generation, and the other is not.
Hui Huan frowned, picked up the sweet potato in his hand and blocked Yang Ya's mouth.
Lu Ran smiled sheepishly, turned to the little girl with a mouth full of mashed potatoes, and asked, "You guys are leaving tomorrow?"
Gu Cunhua took out a handkerchief, wiped the little girl's mouth, and replied: "Yes, the lady surnamed Sun gave me special instructions before leaving."
"It seems that Li Wan is impatient." Lu Ran laughed dryly and asked with concern: "Then will she go too?"
Gu Cunhua's expression changed slightly and sighed: "It's not as good as here in the imperial city. I'm afraid I won't be able to keep her safe anymore. I will find a good family in the village to foster her tomorrow morning."
Lu Ran didn't know how to answer the conversation for a while, and was silent for a long time. When he returned to the topic, he was a little sentimental. He came out to adjust the atmosphere and asked the little girl: "I don't know your name yet. Can you tell me brother?"
The little girl was still marveling at Hui Huan's appearance. She smiled shyly and hesitated for a long time, but said nothing.
Seeing how shy she was, Gu Cunhua hugged her lovingly and answered for her: "Her name is Luoluo. She is a child I picked up in the walled city. She is a poor person."
The three brothers opened their mouths wide. They didn't know what to say for a moment. They just felt that the mother and daughter in front of them were relying on each other. One was a spy alone in a foreign land, and the other was an abandoned orphan. At this time, there was an indescribable melancholy.
After a while, Lu Ran seemed to have thought of something. He stepped forward to stir the fire and asked Gu Cunhua: "Sister, what were you thinking in that building just now? Why did you kill the Zhu Shi when you came up? How could you help? How could Li Wan have thought of taking the three of us to that building?"
Gu Cunhua did not answer immediately, but gently picked up Luoluo, who had dozed off next to her, and took her back to the back room, where she put her to sleep. Then she returned, added more tea to the three of them, and finally picked up a bigger "hidden tea". "Jue", then he sat down safely, his eyes finally showed some light that belonged to a Qi Refiner, and he smiled and said: "There are some things that I want to tell you carefully."
After watching this night's fun, the three of them were all holding back a lot of questions. This was the time to have a good chat.
Gu Cunhua said that the reason why she took the three of them there at that time was because she had a bold idea and wanted to do a "little bird behind" thing. Just in case, if there was a chance, Li Wan could be killed on the spot. That is also a wonderful feat.
But when Li Wan took action, she was a little shaken by this idea. When the two sun and moon slaves were possessed by demon spirits, she knew that the matter was not that simple, and this Li Wan was even more talented, almost every time Killing one person would increase her strength to a higher level. With such unfathomable strength, she expected that neither Zhu Shi and his team nor her group of rare soldiers would have any chance of success.
So in order to protect herself, continue to cover up her identity, and find an opportunity to save the three brothers, she killed Zhu Shi and protected Li Wan for a while. Plus he couldn't kill Li Wan.
Lu Ran interjected at this time: "And you still have reinforcements at Li Wan? Did you know that Li Jiangliu would come?"
Gu Cunhua was slightly surprised: "How do you know that His Highness the Fifth Prince is called Li Jiangliu? Isn't this your first time coming to Xia Ya?"
Lu Ran explained that he was originally from Xiaya and his relationship with the Xiaya royal family.
After listening to Lu Ran talk about this powerful relationship, Gu Cunhua was even more grateful that she didn't do anything tampering, otherwise the four of them would not have had the opportunity to chat by the fire.
After sorting out his thoughts for a while, Gu Cunhua added: "I didn't expect Li Jiangliu to come, but this matter does have a lot to do with this person. The origin of this is also a long story. The Lion Tower was built within a year, and two Years ago, this Zhu Shi was a local li leader with some power, but it was absolutely impossible for him to have the kind of financial and material resources you see. It was also impossible for him to have so many magic weapons and the so-called strongman's adopted son almost overnight, so his There must be someone behind him. As for whether it is Li Jiangliu, I dare not say this, but what is certain is that he must be a big shot who dares to bully the world. Otherwise, how could he dare to attack that demon king?"
"It should be him." Hui Huan, who had been listening quietly, also intervened: "I have seen this kind of aristocratic tactics many times. Seeing his clumsy drama, he came up to silence you first, and he also wanted to kill you. Get rid of him too, and then kill the chicken to scare the monkey, win people's hearts and minds... If he hadn't been a little afraid of Li Wan, in my opinion, everyone who appeared in that building today would have died. "
Gu Cunhua nodded and agreed: "This Fifth Highness is indeed a well-known ruthless person. He is also a strong man of this generation of the Li family. I am afraid he will also be a formidable enemy of my teaching in the future."
"But the murderous aura in him is still not as good as that of Li Wan." Yang Ya rubbed his nose and smiled disdainfully: "We should have just killed the two of them together."
Lu Ran glanced at Yang Ya, shook his head, and then thought of another important thing, and said: "We don't need to worry about the filthiness of the royal family, but those two foreign women, sister, do you have more information?" Can you tell me more information?"
Gu Cunhua thought for a while and said: "These two women are indeed treasures bought in the walled city, but I don't know their origins, let alone that they can be possessed like that and become killing moves. Those two Soul Pot, I don’t know the origins of these two gods and ghosts, so why are you interested in this kind of thing about leaving souls and seizing bodies?”
Hui Huan glanced at Lu Ran and continued: "It's just that these two girls are very similar to a friend of ours. Our friend has lost her trace, so we are looking for all clues related to her..."
Gu Cunhua nodded: "I was not in charge of this matter in the first place. I just vaguely heard Zhu Shi leak that these two Sun and Moon slaves were related to 'alchemy'. In this way, I can help you check it out in more detail. You Just wait for my message after you return to Zhennan."
Unexpectedly, they got news about the "Jade Clan" here, and Lu Ran and Hui Huan both showed some joy on their faces.
Seeing this, Gu Cunhua got up and went to add some more charcoal. Seeing that the three young men were all looking at the red charcoal fire, they were in a trance for a while. She called them a few times and asked them a key question.
"That's it now. Before you came here, you said you wanted to go to Xia Yashengdu to see and play. So... do you still want to go?"
Some people died, but not completely...
