Han Lu and Zhu Mingyu spent half the night to cover the day's journey. When they arrived in Luoyang, several horses had already started to foam at the mouth.
They returned directly to Bai's house. Chen Ling'er was a little puzzled when she saw the few people hurriedly entering the door.
"Why are you back?"
Han Lu asked eagerly: "Where is Feng Lan?"
Chen Ling'er replied: "Ms. Li said she wanted to go back to the Leisure Hall and will come back later."
Han Lu stamped her foot: "Oh no!"
After that, he stopped paying attention to everyone and started running towards the Xianren Hall.
Everyone couldn't understand what he meant, so they could only follow him quickly.
Less than half an hour later, everyone arrived outside the Leisure Hall, and saw the door open, and an ominous premonition surged into everyone's hearts. I hurriedly ran to the backyard and saw several corpses lying on the ground in a mess. Among them, the corpse of a woman was the most eye-catching.
"It's Li Fengyao!" Han Lu and Zhu Mingyu said almost in unison.
No one can understand the current situation, why did Li Fengyao die here? Where is Li Fenglan?
After all, Chen Ling'er was more attentive. She walked to Li Fengyao and knelt down to check. A knife was inserted into Li Fengyao's chest. It was inserted very deep, but there was not much blood. She put her hands on Li Fengyao's neck, leaned forward, and exclaimed: "She's not dead yet!"
Han Lu didn't care about Li Fengyao. He had already gone from house to house looking for Li Fenglan's whereabouts. When I found my room, I found that the secret passage door had been opened. I jumped down to check and found that it was empty.
Just when he was in a panic, Zhu Mingyu suddenly shouted: "Mu Yun! Come and see!"
He ran out of the house and saw Zhu Mingyu holding a piece of paper in his hand. He could only read the words on the paper clearly with the light of the torch.
"safe and sound."
Judging from the handwriting, it was written by Li Fenglan, and the notes were casual and casual, not like he had encountered something urgent.
"It's safe and sound," Han Lu muttered, then suddenly tore the piece of paper into pieces, "It's safe and sound! Here we go again!"
Everyone looked at him silently. At this time, Han Lu was angry at the void.
"I always think I can solve problems by myself without relying on others! Do you have that ability?! What's the use besides making people worry?!"
His whole face was red with anger. If Li Fenglan were in front of him, he would be scolded...
Zhu Mingyu advised: "Muyun, don't be angry first, let's discuss it first."
"What are you discussing?!" Now he couldn't calm down anymore, "This was how it was three years ago! She obviously doesn't know martial arts, but she pretends to be big! If anyone sees her tricks, she will definitely die! Where do you think she came from? Confidence? You don’t have any skills at all. You dare to break into any dragon or tiger’s den! How many times has it happened? Why can you tolerate her??"
Zhu Mingyu was helpless: "At least I can never tolerate it... Just calm down, you won't be able to solve the problem no matter how angry you are."
Han Lu forced himself to calm down, but he couldn't. Seeing Li Fengyao lying on the ground still breathing, he rushed over angrily. Zhu Mingyu hurriedly stopped him: "Calm down! If she dies, we won't be able to find Li Fenglan!"
"I won't kill her!" Han Lu yelled, "I have something to ask her!"
Chen Ling'er said in a deep voice: "Mr. Muyun, don't worry. She can't answer the question now. It would be good if she can save her life...remove the door panel."
Chen Ling'er didn't dare to pull out the knife. She just protected Li Fengyao's heart and then had someone put her on the door panel and carry her back to Bai's house. Now that Divine Doctor Hou is still in the Bai family, he believes that he can save Li Fengyao's life and cure her, so that he can know the whereabouts of Li Fenglan.
After hurriedly returning to Bai's house, Divine Doctor Hou, who had already gone to bed to rest, was called up again. When he saw the person on the door panel, the expression of Divine Doctor Hou, who had always been calm and experienced, changed drastically, with tears streaming down his face.
"Miss!" He threw himself at the door and asked loudly, "Who hurt you like this?"
Back then, the Li family was kind to Hou Zhen. Although he was now on Mo Changfeng's side, he still couldn't bear to see Li Fengyao, whom he had seen since childhood, and her current miserable state.
I couldn't help but feel sad.
Hou Zhen had cured her face back then, and she still remembers the pitiful look of Li Fengyao screaming in pain in the medicine bucket.
After all, it was because he was older and had a calm mind. After a short period of sadness, he realized that saving people was more important now.
He ordered people to carry Li Fengyao into the house, and told Chen Ling'er to prepare the necessary herbs and other items. He then closed the door and asked everyone to wait outside.
The healing seemed to last for a long time. After a busy day, other people could no longer bear it and went back to their rooms to rest. But Han Lu couldn't sleep at all. She sat on the steps outside the door, waiting anxiously.
In fact, everyone else including Han Lu guessed who Li Fenglan followed.
She couldn't have killed those people, and Li Fengyao wouldn't have foolishly come to them directly. The most reasonable speculation is that Li Fengyao saw Li Fenglan sending all the people around him to Luoyang, and thought the time was right, so he ambush Li Fenglan. This happened to step into Li Fenglan's trap, and she ambushed him.
The only manpower that Li Fengyao could not guess was Chen Zijue's.
Li Fenglan said that there was another competition between him and Chen Zijue, and the bet was on the secret treasure of the God of Gold and Wealth. Li Fenglan used this to make a deal in exchange for the opportunity for them to join forces this time.
Usually when she runs away from the Li family, whether she goes to Jiujiang or Xiangyang, even if she did that a few days ago, she is guaranteed and has the means to survive. But this time, Han Lu really couldn't imagine how she could escape on her own.
Chen Zi is definitely not someone else. He may have a brighter mind than Li Fenglan. If their identities were reversed in the past three years, Li Fenglan probably wouldn't be able to survive the first year.
Now Li Fenglan is isolated and helpless, and deep into the tiger's den... How can he escape safely?
…
After a long night of waiting, the door opened when the sun was shining brightly the next day, and Divine Doctor Hou walked out with a tired look on his face.
Han Lu hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Grandpa Hou! Is she awake?"
Doctor Hou looked at Han Lu and sighed, "I'll wake up, but not now... My child, go eat something, don't burn out your body."
After spending a night calming down at the door, Han Lu also figured out that no matter how anxious she was, Li Fenglan would fly back immediately without saying a word. Now that Bai Shuyu, Jade, and Chen are gone, Chen Ling'er seems to be the only one who can come up with some countermeasures.
Fortunately, Chen Ling'er didn't let him get too angry. Last night, she sent out the few remaining members of the Bai family to find Li Fenglan's whereabouts. This is all she can do now, after all, the Bai family's intelligence strength is no longer what it used to be.
"Miss Fenglan can only go with one person, Chen Zijue." Chen Ling'er didn't sleep well that night. Her task was to look after the house. Who would have thought that when she was looking after the house, Li Fenglan actually went out twice? happened, and the interval between before and after was less than two months.
Li Fenglan's rib fracture is still not healed, and the internal injuries she suffered before are also good. Her Qinggong has been greatly reduced, and it is not yet known whether she has any new injuries.
Han Lu asked weakly: "Are there any clues?"
Chen Ling'er shook her head: "I have already informed the Third Young Master that they are back, but even so... To put it bluntly, I really don't know how to find her this time."
Chen Ling'er was a little frustrated, and Zhu Mingyu comforted her: "Don't be sad, Miss Ling'er. It's not your fault. She wants to run away, and no one can stop her."
Han Lu suddenly asked: "Where is the secret treasure of the Golden God of Wealth most likely to be hidden?"
Chen Ling'er replied: "To be honest, the Third Young Master had suspected Jin Wealth God a few years ago and also sent people to investigate. However, this old fox is very secretive and we have never been able to find any clues."
"Where's the Golden God of Wealth's mansion?"
Chen Ling'er shook her head: "I sent people there after the incident in Chang'an this year. The mansion was turned upside down. The most valuable thing is the mansion itself. There are no secret rooms or hidden compartments."
The people in the room stared at each other. For the first time, they felt like they were being cornered. What was even more infuriating was that they were cornered by Li Fenglan.
…
Qingzhou, the Mu family mansion exudes a happy atmosphere from the inside out these days.
Mu Shangbin is dying, he has
I couldn't get out of bed for several months.
For the Mu family, if this old man dies, they can be completely clean. The rules of the rivers and lakes, people die and all accounts are settled.
In the house that Tang Bailing bought, several young people from Chaolan Valley were a little anxious. Just now Master Jiu was vomiting blood again, and the doctors in the city stopped coming three days ago. It's not that they couldn't pay, but that the doctors all thought that the old man's time had come and he couldn't be cured.
Although these young people have little experience in the world of martial arts, they are full of enthusiasm. Since Gu Li told them to protect Master Jiu, they must do a good job.
But even if the children have the heart, they don’t have the power.
Several children sat in the yard, looking gloomy and gloomy.
At this time, a hearty voice suddenly came from the direction of the gate: "There is no one standing guard at the gate. How did I call you before?"
Following the sound, I saw Mo Changfeng striding in. The children seemed to have suddenly found the backbone, and gathered around them one after another, shouting "The boss of the valley is long, the boss of the valley is short".
Mo Changfeng pressed his hands to calm them down and asked, "Where is your ninth grandpa?"
A young man's expression suddenly darkened: "Valley Master... Master Jiu, I'm afraid he may not be able to survive."
There were two young men taking care of Mu Shangbin in his room. They said they were taking care of him, but they were just accompanying him and they couldn't do anything else. Since yesterday, the old man has not had a mouthful of food or a mouthful of water.
Looking at the young man with dark circles under his eyes, Mo Changfeng said distressedly: "Go back and rest."
When there was no one in the room, Mo Changfeng sat down by the bed, looking at the old man he respected most on the bed, he couldn't help but feel sad.
When he founded Changfeng Tower, countless like-minded brothers came to visit him, and Mu Jiuye, whom he had only met once in Qingzhou, also came.
The two have been friends for many years. Although Lord Jiu often calls him the landlord, he never regards himself as a "Shangguan" and often considers himself a junior.
Mo Changfeng murmured: "I actually don't have much ability. I am supported by my brothers... There are too many people around me, so I always think I am capable. Now, I can't do the task assigned to me by Girl Lan. , I don’t know who to talk to when I want to talk to someone. When I had a quarrel with me, what I said when I was scolded was right...a woman’s kindness. Hey...even now, I still want to hear from you. opinion, only to find that you have..."
Speaking of this, Mo Changfeng felt his eyes getting hot.
"I'm sorry... Uncle Jiu, I let you down, this girl Mu Zi... ugh..."
Mo Changfeng, who was the second master of Tianzi at that time, known as Xiao Mengchang, suddenly felt that he could do nothing and had no martial arts skills when he reached middle age.
As if he heard Mo Changfeng's words, Master Jiu on the bed opened his mouth as if he wanted to speak.
Mo Changfeng asked hurriedly: "Uncle Jiu? Are you awake?"
"Lord...Master..."
The voice was thin and weak. Mo Changfeng put his ear to his ear and said eagerly: "What do you want to say? Am I here?"
"I go home……"
After saying these three words, the old man couldn't make any sound.
Going home, if he had been in Qingzhou back then, he would never have let anything happen to his family. Even if Mu Zi did not return to Qingzhou later, he would come back. This is his home and he wants to be buried here.
Master Jiu left without saying a few words to Mo Changfeng.
Looking at the lifeless old man on the bed, Mo Changfeng stood up and walked to the yard and said to the young people: "Grandpa Ninth, please calm down your appearance and go to the city to buy a good coffin. Don't be afraid if you don't have enough money, just say yes." If Mo Changfeng wants to buy it, let them go to the Mu family to ask for money."
After Mo Changfeng finished speaking, he walked towards the Mu family.
"There are still tens of thousands of words left to finish...ah...it has tortured me for more than a year, but it is almost over..."
