Chapter 290 Heading to the Capital 1
At this time, Lianyi, who was fifteen years old, was already tall and graceful. Due to his cultivation, he had a cool smell on his body that was unforgettable. .
Wen Lu and Min Min have lived a stable life in the past three years. They have worked hard to train a group of loyal little guards for Ripple. They take some of them out for training every year, so these little guys are also knowledgeable. of.
Steward Wu has been diligent in his work these years and has taken good care of Zhuangzi. After Wu Liang, the head of the village, was eliminated, the lives of the people in Zhuangzi gradually improved, and they were well fed and drunk. Next, with the spare money, they also renovated their houses one after another. In addition, Lianyi raised those half-grown children, and they also had hope for their lives.
So when leaving this time, Butler Wu meant to take all these people with him, but Ripple disagreed:
"Steward Wu, they are protecting Zhuangzi. If we take them all away and something happens in Zhuangzi, who do you expect to guard Zhuangzi? I will come back here eventually."
"Don't worry, Miss, I will Let’s consider the candidate again.”
“Go ahead!”
Lianyi waved her hand to let the housekeeper go down, then asked Minmin aside:
“Minmin, are you? Do you want to go to the capital with me to see something, or stay in Zhuangzi with your mother?”
"Miss, please allow me to discuss it with my mother."
"Well, you go ahead! Let me know when we have discussed it, so that I can make arrangements!"
"Yes, Miss! "
Minmin was blessed and gave a standard courtesy before going to see her mother. In the past three years, under Luo Ying's abuse, Minmin has lost all the charlatanism in her body. She is also a lady when it comes to fists.
"Luo Ying, are there many people sent by the Li family to pick me up? Are the guards okay?"
Lianyi asked while drinking scented tea, very relaxed and natural, in contrast to the busy figures of the maids beside him.
"Miss, the Li family is really stingy. They only sent a steward, an old lady, and a guard team of eight people. They didn't even have a decent maid. They obviously wanted to give us power and show off their power to us. They all look up to the sky, and they look like they are strong on the outside but strong on the inside.”
Luo Ying doesn’t like to see the Li family very much.
What happened to that group of masked gangsters three years ago? She already had a guess from the conversation between the young lady and the housekeeper. It was really scary to think about it, so she also forced herself to do it in the past three years. She worked hard, but she didn't want to hold the young lady back when the time came, even though she knew that the young lady was not just paper.
In the past three years, she has learned some kung fu from Min Min. Although in the eyes of the other party, it is just a trick, Luo Ying enjoys it herself. She does not want to give the Li family a chance to plot against her family after going to the Li Mansion. Miss.
"It doesn't matter, we don't really expect them to protect me, as long as the due etiquette is met."
Lianyi said indifferently.
Three days later, Lianyi sat in the newly built car and left the hot spring villa. Wu Zhong stayed at the villa and sent Lianyi and his party to the official road before returning to Zhuangzi.
One of the people who came to pick up Lianyi this time was the manager of the Li family who had come to the door. Lianyi sent someone to call him to the car and asked through the curtain:
"Li Steward, is there any news about my step-grandfather’s cousin? After you left that year, I also asked the steward to go to the county town to inquire about the news, but unfortunately nothing was found.”
When Manager Li heard the questioning coming from the car, he had no choice but to reply:
"My cousin, thank you for your trouble. The stepfather did indeed disappear after entering Jiangnan. There is no news yet."
"My cousin must have been escorted when traveling, but have you found his escort?"
"No."
"Hey!"
Ripple sighed and ended the topic.
Guanshi Li was also helpless because the eldest young master was still alive and his body was not found. Li Qin almost went crazy with anxiety, not only because mother and son were connected, but also because after the young master disappeared, his younger brother had He is about to start his career, and the eldest master's second son is only ten years old this year and has not yet grown up.
So in recent years, the Li Qin family had been fighting fiercely with the eldest master's favorite concubine, and the family could never have peace for a moment, and was in a state of turmoil. This time he took the cousin of the Wu family back to the Li Mansion. He didn't know what their plan was. Others didn't know, but he still knew some inside information.
The eldest master of the Li family is good at working in the business, but he has only been a minor official until now. The second master of the Li family only loves romance and flaunts himself as a scholar, but he likes beauties the most. He spends his days hanging out in the Qin Tower and the Chu House, and spends his money like water. Now the mansion is stretched thin.
Thinking of this, Manager Li glanced at the carriage, his eyes flashed, and he quickly took two steps to join the guard.
The team walked on the official road for a whole day, safely left the county town, and slept in the wild that night.
Chu Liangchen swung the riding whip in his hand, came to the side of the car, and whispered through the curtain:
"Miss, Xiao Hui noticed someone in front of him, and I don’t know what they are doing! But you want me Go check it out.”
“No, let everyone be more alert tonight. Some people have been waiting for three years and can no longer hold back.”
Ripple curled his lips and sneered.
"Yes, miss! Do you want to remind the Li family's guards?"
"No need."
Chu Liangchen responded and wandered around in the Wu family's team. Then he led the horse pulling the cart to the creek to drink water.
In the middle of the night, more than twenty men in black touched the place where they were camping. Before they could take action, Wen Lu made a sharp whistle and was disrupted.
The guards of the Wu family reacted quickly, holding their own weapons and charging forward to kill them. However, the guards of the Li family were half a beat too slow, and two of them were injured by the men in black. Then they swung their swords and started to fight back.
Wen Lu held the sword in her hand and jumped into the men in black, killing them with every move. She was not one of those vase guards in the Li Mansion. She was someone who had seen blood. There was nothing fancy about her moves. Take the other person's life.
In less than half an hour, the men in black were ready to leave. They didn't expect that Miss Wu was actually accompanied by a practitioner. The boss, who didn't want to lose any more men, roared and prepared to leave. .
"Liang Chen, don't let these people run away."
Lianyi ordered quietly in the car.
"Yes, Miss!"
Chu Liangchen was the coachman and was only responsible for guarding the carriage. He did not leave even half a step. After listening to Lianyi's instructions, he directly raised his voice and said:
"Miss has an order. , Leave the lives of these villains!”
The Wu family guards who were still pulling at them turned their swords and began to strangle these men in black like tigers attacking prey.
A quarter of an hour later, the bodies of men in black were all on the ground.
After Wen Lu checked it out, she directly reported to Lianyihui:
“Miss, these gangsters are paid to do things, and they don’t have anything on them to prove their identity.”
“Hard-working Wen Auntie, bury the person, and then we continue on the road. I can't smell the blood."
"Yes, miss!"
Wen Lu turned around and pointed at the Li family. The four guards said:
"You go dig a hole and bury the body, and we will continue on our way."
The Li family guards were very obedient at the moment and did not say a word to refute. Most of the people in black on the ground are from the Wu family. The guards killed them, and they had a clear idea of their superiority in strength, so they thought it would be better to be obedient.
Hey guys, Fengling will add another chapter after dinner!
