"There is an old house on Jiucao Street. Outside the door there is an old osmanthus tree that was half struck by lightning, and two stone lions." Yan Yun said.
Lu Jing knew where Jiucao Street was. It was past Yongfeng Bridge and half a mile to the west. It was considered a wealthy area in Wujiang City. The people who lived here were either businessmen or officials who were working for retirement.
And Yan Yun's cousin-in-law can spend 10,000 taels of silver to hire people to deliver things to him, so his family background is certainly not bad.
Lu Jing led the way and found the place quickly.
Yan Yun stepped forward and knocked on the door, but there was no movement at all.
At this time, the nearby neighbors should have fallen asleep, but it was hard for Yanyun to call her cousin directly, so she could only knock a few more times.
Fortunately, there was finally a reaction from behind the door this time, and there was a sound of footsteps.
However, the visitor did not unplug the door bolt, but looked out warily through the crack in the door.
When he saw the white lantern in Lu Jing's hand, he was so frightened that he took three steps back and almost sat on the ground.
He turned around to run away, but he heard the woman behind the door speak again, "I am Wang Wan's cousin. I received her letter and came to help her investigate the cause of her husband's death."
The person behind the door stopped abruptly when he heard these words and said in surprise, "Is the person outside the door Yan Junyan from Yunshui Jingci Pavilion?"
"That's right."
However, after Yan Yun finished speaking, the door still did not open, and the people inside became vigilant again, murmuring, "No, it's impossible... It will take a month at the fastest to send a letter from Wujiang City to the capital. Calculate the time, Yan The heroine should have just received the letter now, how could she appear in Wujiang City immediately?"
Yan Yun was a little helpless, "Tell my cousin that I accidentally soiled my underskirt when I was celebrating my grandpa's birthday nine years ago. She lent me a light pleated skirt to wear."
The person behind the door was a little doubtful, but still went in to report.
As a result, within a moment this time, the footsteps came back again, and there were more than one person.
Soon, the door latch was pulled out, and then the door opened wide to both sides.
She saw a young woman wearing only a thin shirt hurriedly out. She and Yan Yun had not seen each other for a long time since the birthday party nine years ago. In addition, the two of them had changed a lot over the years, so she stared at Yan Yun. Jun looked at it for a long time before recognizing the latter.
She forced a smile from her pale face, "Sister Yan, long time no see. I didn't expect that the yellow-haired girl back then has now become a beautiful woman.
"I listened to the storytellers telling your story in the teahouse. I couldn't believe it, as if I was dreaming. I heard that you were on some Tianji list. Uncle Han said that most of the people on that list were old men. There are very few middle-aged people in their forties.
"There are only two young people, one is you and the other is Daxia Lu. By the way, why does the person next to you look familiar? He is..."
"Lu Jing."
Wang Wan couldn't help but exclaimed after hearing these two words, and then quickly covered her mouth with her hands, but tears fell down her cheeks again, and she choked.
"The sky has eyes, Sir Lu, have you returned to Wujiang City? Husband, your revenge can be avenged. With Hero Lu here this time, the villains who harmed you will not be allowed to go unpunished anymore."
Although Lu Jing has become famous in the past two years, his real reputation in the world cannot be compared to that of Yan Yun, who was born in Jingci Pavilion in Yunshui and is known as the number one person of the younger generation.
But that was outside Wujiang City. To the common people living in Wujiang City and the surrounding areas, no matter how powerful Yan Yun was, it was just a story from the scholar's mouth, but Lu Jingxing's chivalrous and righteous deeds were real, and everyone Can be seen.
Whether it was overthrowing Uncle Bo and Nephew, the leader of the Song Dynasty, who was colluding with the devil, killing Xiao, the King of Hell, by one person, or helping the miserable porters at the dock to get more wages from those gangs, and then opening a charity hall and donating generously... these Things are truly affecting the lives of everyone in the city.
Therefore, the name of Wujiang City Inland Scenery is indeed more useful than Yanyun, even Yanyun's cousin Wang Wan subconsciously thinks so.
Then she invited Lu Jing and Yan Yun to sit down in the main hall, and asked her personal maid to make tea.
But then Yan Yun stopped the excited concierge Han Bo and told the others in the house about her and Lu Jing's arrival.
"The enemy is in darkness and we are in the clear. Before the matter becomes clear, it is better for us to keep a low profile."
Uncle Han nodded in agreement, but when he returned, he found that the door bolt was not inserted properly. He wished that all those sneaky guys before would run in and bump into the hands of Yan Yun and Lu Jing.
Wang Wan on the other side had just asked the two of them to sit down. Before she could say anything, she heard a burst of crying coming from the back house.
Wang Wan's expression changed, "It's my youngest son Bao'er. I'll go and coax him to sleep first."
"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Wang," Yan Yun said.
As Wang Wan returned to the back house, the child's cries gradually became quieter until they could no longer be heard. After another half a stick of incense, Wang Wan returned to the main hall.
Chong Yanyun showed a wry smile, "I still remember that about seven years ago, you wrote to me asking me if I would like to go to Yunshui Jingci Pavilion to learn martial arts with you. At that time, I felt that fighting and killing was not what women should do. , I still prefer to be a female celebrity, sing and dance, but find a good husband to have children.
"But now I regret it. I don't know martial arts. My husband died under mysterious circumstances, but I don't know how to find out. Someone broke into my home sneakily, and I couldn't drive him away. I just I can close the doors and windows tightly and hold my two children tightly.
"Seeing them trembling in my arms, Bao'er now has nightmares every night. Once he wakes up and finds that I am not around, he will start crying and making a fuss, but as a mother, I can't do anything..." Wang Cover your face.
Yan Yun shook his head and comforted, "Sister Wang, don't blame yourself. There are dangers everywhere in the world, and there are many martial arts masters who have lost their loved ones, relatives and friends, and many of them have even been wiped out. There are always people in this world who have higher martial arts skills and better swordsmanship than you." faster.
"Besides, Sister Wang, you should still have a lot of money at home. Why don't you hire some more nurses when you come to spy on me?"
"The original few nurses in my family were hired from the Tianma Escort Agency. After that incident, I sent them all away. Then I wanted to find other escort agencies, but the Tianma Escort Agency is very powerful in the city, and other small escort agencies Even the escorts from the escort agency were unwilling to come after knowing that my family and Tianma Escort Agency were celebrating the holidays.
"As for me, a family of orphans and widowers, I don't dare to directly recruit those people from the world who don't know the details, so now in such a big house, apart from the caretaker Han Bo and a boy who is responsible for feeding the horses and doing chores, There are no other men.
