The night is shrouded, and thousands of houses are lit with lights.
Lu Feng, who once again disguised himself as Lin Liyun, walked on the lively main street in the center of Jinwan City. Under Ye Yutang's specific contact signal, he contacted Tie Puppet and others. Seeing that Gui Ling's injury had improved, he felt sad.
A little uneasy.
After briefly describing what was found in Chief Wu Yi's possession of the bandit gun, Lu Feng ordered Tie Puppet to lead the Phantom Hand Ghost Sword and others to investigate the suspected towns, leaving Chi Mei and Gui Ling behind.
Gui Ling was left behind because of her slightly jealous temperament. Once it was found out that Sun Pingzong's private garden was located, he couldn't help but assassinate her, so he could only prevent her from getting involved for the time being.
As for Chimei, because the Qin family's family banquet was coming soon, Lu Feng deliberately planned to arrange for him to meet Qin Buer of the Qin family. As for whether the father and daughter would recognize each other at that time, it was up to Chimei's own choice.
After bidding farewell to Ye Yutang at the entrance of a dark alley, Lu Feng bought some of Lin Xiaowan's favorite desserts from a street shop and packed two bags before returning to Lin's house.
I thought that when he returned as the young head of the family, he would receive a lively welcome...
But unexpectedly, before he got close, he saw the door of Lin Mansion wide open from a distance, and the lanterns hanging on both sides were tilted here and there.
Lu Feng vaguely realized that something was wrong. As he approached, he was shocked to see that the heavy and thick door of the Lin Mansion had been blasted with cracks, and the ground between the door cracks was stained with large blood stains.
This scene made Lu Feng's expression suddenly change, and he hurriedly rushed towards the house.
Although it was late at night, the inner courtyard of Lin Mansion was still brightly lit.
In the backyard, Lin Bairu, Lin Wuhu, and Lin Xiaowan all gathered around Lin Wanxia.
There are still a lot of blood stains and black cloth fragments around the courtyard and on the passing corridors.
"What happened?" Lu Feng was surprised and quickly approached.
"Brother Liyun~" Lin Xiaowan immediately ran to Lu Feng's side and sobbed: "You are finally back. Our Lin family was robbed during the day, and grandma was also injured."
Lin Bairu came closer and sighed: "It's not the thieves, it's Zhong Sanxiao."
Lu Feng felt extremely shocked. He looked at Lin Wanxia sitting on the wide chair and saw that her pale hair was messy and disheveled, her old face was bloodless, and the corners of her lips were cracked and stained with blood. Her whole person was extremely depressed and gloomy.
Lu Feng looked at this scene with emotion, thinking about what Zhong Sanxiao had done to make Lin Wanxia appear in such a hopeless and terminally ill posture. He thought about how overbearing the latter was when he threatened him.
people.
After noticing that the crutch broken into two pieces on the ground next to Lin Wanxia's wide chair, the 'Jishan Jade Bead' originally inlaid on it was missing...
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguoyuedu to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www.yeguoyuedu.com is available for Android and Apple.]
Lu Feng was suddenly startled and couldn't help but understand.
"Zhong Sanxiao rebelled? Stole the key?"
Lin Xiaowan lowered her head and nodded lightly, "Many men in black came during the day and wanted to kill grandma. Uncle Zhong...Zhong Sanxiao pretended to protect him, pretended to help kill many men in black, and stayed close to grandma.
Later, he suddenly struck and injured grandma, and also took away the Jishan jade beads."
After Lu Feng got the confirmation, he suddenly felt uneasy. He knew that the secret treasure of heaven and earth that the Lin family had guarded for generations was hidden in the Calabash Ruins, and the 'Ji Shan Jade Bead' embedded in the crutch was half the key to unlocking the Calabash Ruins.
It was precisely because of this that Lin Wanxia forced her to find another Jade from the Chu family, with the intention of combining the two.
But he didn't expect that the half in his hand would be taken away by others first.
If the secret treasure finally falls into the hands of Zhong Sanxiao and his ilk, there will probably be a lot of bloodshed on the mainland.
Lin Wanxia's gloomy, hoarse voice filled with resentment suddenly sounded: "Have you seen Lin Baijian in the Sword Ruins?"
Lu Feng subconsciously looked towards Lin Xiaowan.
Lin Xiaowan blushed and whispered with guilt: "When grandma asked, I told her."
Lu Feng was shocked and confirmed that Lin Wanxia knew about Lin Baijian's abduction of Lin Xiaowan in the Sword Ruins. Correspondingly, he understood that the latter must have also asked about the information about the Jishan Jade leaked from Lin Xiaowan's mouth.
That’s why I’m asking the question now.
This also aroused Lu Feng's alarm. Lin Baijian had already died in the Sword Ruins, and Lin Xiaowan had never mentioned it to anyone else. The only person who knew the key to the Calabash Ruins was the mysterious young master behind Lin Baijian.
It was impossible for Zhong Sanxiao to set up such a scheme and snatch the Jishan Jade Pearl with precision and purpose without knowing it.
It seems that he must have also known the secrets here, and it is very likely that he was ordered by that young master!
If this is the case, then the young master behind this is very deep in the city. Not only did he subjugate the head of the family, Lin Baijian, but he also placed a figure like Zhong Sanxiao in the Lin family. The comprehensive layout can be said to be outrageous.
When Lin Wanxia saw that Lu Feng admitted that he had met Lin Baijian, her face became even more gloomy. After sending away Lin Bairu and other uninformed people, she asked: "How is the matter entrusted to you?"
Lin Xiaowan replied first: "Sister Weiwei came to see me, and she has successfully cultivated the Zidai flower back to the Chu family garden."
Lin Wanxia asked again: "Did the Chu family mention marriage?"
Lin Xiaowan was silent.
Lin Wanxia looked at Lu Feng with a cold gaze, "I will give you another month at most. If you fail to complete the tasks assigned to you, you should know the consequences!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold and sharp sting pierced Lu Feng's soul sea.
The sudden pain made Lu Feng's face turn pale and his breathing stopped for a moment.
He knew that Lin Wanxia was warning him. Even though he was seriously injured, with this restraint, dealing with him was as easy as squeezing an ant to death.
As for Lin Wanxia's purpose, Lu Feng also vaguely guessed it. After the Jishan Jade was taken away from his hand, he must get back the other half of the Chu family as soon as possible to prevent others from getting there first. He might even want to use this to attract Zhong.
Three smiles flowed out of the hole.
In addition, there is another point that makes Lu Feng very concerned, that is, whether what Lin Wanxia revealed about the key that day is accurate, and does it have ulterior motives?
Didn't the latter ever think about the risk of such news being spread? Will the Jishan Jade be snatched away now?
Lin Xiaowan saw that Lu Feng's painful knees were bent and almost fell to the ground. She quickly stepped forward to hold her up and spoke hastily to Lin Wanxia.
"Grandma, if my brother knows about it, he will definitely handle it. Let's go find Sister Weiwei right now."
Lin Xiaowan seemed to be deeply afraid that Lu Feng would be hurt again, so she quickly took him out of the backyard.
But after the two left, Lin Wanxia suddenly choked out a mouthful of blood.
It seems that it is not easy to control Lu Feng like this.
Lin Xiaowan 'escorted' Lu Feng all the way to the stables.
Hiss~
The Snow-topped Jade Dragon Colt was lying lazily on the clean ground outside the stable. After sensing Lu Feng's appearance, it immediately hissed uncontrollably, its big eyes shining brightly, as if it was telling the grievances of neglecting it during this period of time.
Lu Feng couldn't help but be moved when he saw this. He thought that such a treasure in the world was left casually in the stable by him, which was really a waste of natural resources. No wonder Jade Dragon Horse was so aggrieved.
Lu Feng was a little confused at first when he thought about how he had tamed it, but after meeting Master Hongzang and receiving some advice from him, he understood why he could easily tame the Jade Dragon Colt and make it obedient.
The reluctance to leave may also be related to the strange intimidation.
Lin Xiaowan looked around and said in a low voice: "Brother, if you can't fulfill grandma's request, hurry up and ride the jade dragon pony as far as you can."
"What do you mean?" Lu Feng was stunned.
Lin Xiaowan lowered her voice and said: "Sister Weiwei told me that their Chu family's ancestral mountain was robbed, and her father's belongings were rummaged through by the thieves. I'm afraid the other half of the key that I wanted to keep with his father has been left behind."
into the hands of thieves."
"Is this happening!?" Lu Feng was shocked and asked, "Has there been any news from the Chu family recently? Do they know the key?"
Lin Xiaowan shook her head, "I don't know about that. When Sister Weiwei told me about this matter, she didn't show many other emotions except anger and anger. She seemed to have no idea what the thief had stolen."
Lu Feng frowned in thought.
At this moment, Lin Wuhu came over.
"Young master, the master has invited me."
Lu Feng and Lin Xiaowan were stunned at the same time. Lin Xiaowan said in surprise: "Didn't I just meet him before?"
Lin Wuhu said with a smile: "The young master of the Chu family came here in person, and brought many generous gifts, which he said were the dowry of the Chu family's daughter. The young master's good deeds are coming soon."
Lu Feng and Lin Xiaowan were stunned again.
"What is the Chu family doing?" Lin Xiaowan felt confused, "Didn't they always dislike us in the past? Is this what Sister Weiwei meant?"
Lin Wuhu replied: "Master Chu said that it was because the young master of the family helped to find Zi Daihua that he fulfilled the agreement before leaving and solved the current predicament of his Chu family."
Lu Feng was dumbfounded. He did not expect this. He clearly helped Chu Youwei find Zi Daihua as the leader of Qingshan Sect, but in the end, the credit fell to Lin Liyun.
Although both of them are themselves, there are still some inexplicable differences in their hearts.
Lu Feng then thought about the current situation of the Chu family. He knew that finding Zi Daihua alone would not be enough to change his attitude. After thinking about it, he asked again: "Did he mention anything else?"
Lin Wuhu thought for a while and said: "There is nothing else...nothing. Oh, by the way, he also asked about your friend, the young master."
When Lu Feng heard this, he suddenly understood why Chu Youren came to visit him personally.
Daqing came for Gui Ling, but it was because of the six Qiongling monsters behind her!
The reason why the Chu family agreed to this marriage was simply to use him as a springboard to make friends with beings like the Six Monsters of Shangqiongling.
If everything goes well, the Chu family's return to the inner circle of the Yuemi River will be a sure thing soon.
Lin Xiaowan hesitated and tugged on Lu Feng's sleeve: "Brother, do you want to come forward?"
As he spoke, he pouted, hinting at the fact that he had just been asked to escape on horseback.
Don't wait for Lu Feng to speak.
Lin Wuhu's face became serious, and he lectured Lin Xiaowan: "What do you call this? The Chu family is so sincere. As a party involved, there is no reason for your brother to avoid it."
Then he urged: "Young Master, follow me to the front hall quickly. Don't keep Mr. Chu waiting for too long."
