Jin Zishi led Princess Xiyun and her party to the residence of the people around Zhang Lanyue.
The people around Zhang Lanyue live in an old courtyard in a hidden part of the city.
"Surround them up and don't alert others!"
Masnian quietly greeted his men.
Officers and soldiers surrounded the courtyard, and Shen Chengren knocked on the door: "Is anyone there?"
When no one answered, Feng Xingyan kicked the door open and rushed into the yard.
Princess Xiyun followed her in and looked left and right. The door was wide open and the floor was messy. The person must have just left.
"hateful!"
Shen Chengren threw his hands away in anger.
"Obviously they just left not long ago. If you close the city gate, they won't be able to escape."
Princess Xiyun said to Masnian.
Masnian handed over his hand: "I will return to the city lord's palace immediately and organize the closure of the city and arrests."
Masnian mobilized the entire city's officers and soldiers to search house to house. One day passed, but Zhang Lanyue and his party were not found.
In the evening, Shen Chengren came to see Princess Xiyun and sat down to talk.
"City Master Ma searched the entire city, but Zhang Lanyue was nowhere to be found. He must have escaped from the city."
Shen Chengrendao.
Princess Xiyun lowered her head: "I didn't expect that the royal descendants of Yaowu Clan would be reduced to hiding their names in the territory of our human race."
"And they have been being hunted by people from Yaowu Clan and Wanfangzhai."
"If I had known earlier, I should have asked Mr. Liu to come."
Princess Xiyun had a gloomy face.
Shen Chengren considered his words, looked at Princess Xiyun's face and said, "Uh... Princess, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."
"you say."
Princess Xiyun's eyes squinted.
Shen Chengren took a breath and said: "Lin Duhu tipped off the prince of the Yaowu clan in advance. This is a collaboration with the enemy and a traitor to the clan. If Zhang Lanyue cannot be found, just capture him and interrogate him."
Princess Xiyun looked stern and said nothing.
Shen Chengren advised: "Princess, I know you love Lin Duhu very much, but he is from your palace. If word gets out that the princess's people let the prince of the Yaowu tribe go, it will be a big sin. Princess, in the face of big rights and wrongs, You can’t protect your shortcomings.”
Princess Xiyun breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Master Liu, please come and take a look. We will know where Zhang Lanyue went."
Shen Chengren nodded and said nothing.
Princess Xiyun's investigation has reached a deadlock, and she can only wait for Mr. Liu to come. Lin Xiaodong, on his side, has returned to Jiangji City with Lu Zhu.
In the morning, Lin Xiaodong and Luzhu went straight to the fishing market to find Shi Chong.
"elder brother!"
Luzhu rushed to Shi Chong.
"sister?
You're back!"
Shi Chong straightened his body happily.
"Brother Lin is back too."
Lu Zhu turned around and pointed at Lin Xiaodong.
"Brother Lin is back!"
Shi Chong walked forward excitedly.
Lin Xiaodong nodded and said, "I'm back. Did the eldest son send someone here again?"
Shi Chong nodded: "I sent people here, but they didn't cause any trouble for us. They followed me from a distance. They couldn't find the green beads, so they didn't come back."
Lin Xiaodong nodded: "Well, I'm back and I'll settle the score with them slowly."
Luzhu said excitedly: "Brother! I met the princess sister again! The princess sister said that she wants me to go to the palace to play during the Chinese New Year!"
"Really?
Oh, it’s rare that the princess still remembers you!”
Shi Chong touched the back of Lu Zhu's head.
Luzhu stayed to help Shi Chong. Lin Xiaodong was fine and went back to the village first.
When they came to the intersection, Lin Xiaodong didn't go back to his home. He went to Shi Chong's house first, stood at the door and shouted: "Auntie?"
Xu Suyun came out and was startled when she saw it was Lin Xiaodong: "He's back! Where is Luzhu?"
"Lv Zhu is in the city with Shi Chong."
Lin Xiaodong replied.
Xu Suyun nodded vigorously: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back, you're back, and we don't have to worry anymore."
"Well, don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one can take away the green pearl."
"Has Luzhu met the princess?
Didn't you cause any trouble?"
Xu Suyun asked.
Lin Xiaodong shook his head and smiled: "Lv Zhu is well behaved, and the princess likes her very much and calls her her adopted sister, the princess' adopted sister!"
"Really?
Great, with the princess protecting you, Luzhu will be fine!"
Xu Suyun covered her chest with her hands and said.
"Well, I'll just tell you that Lu Zhu is with her brother and I'll be back first."
Lin Xiaodong nodded and returned to his home.
After some repairs, Lin Xiaodong went up the mountain and came to the graves of Lan Ruo and Caicai.
"Cai Cai, I didn't expect that you were the prince of the Yaowu tribe, but you didn't have time to tell me before you died."
"I rescued one of your siblings, but I don't know how long she can escape.
There are so many masters in the human palace, it would be easy to catch her."
"I have lost Princess Xiyun's trust. Maybe one day, I will also be on the run. At that time, I won't be able to visit you two often."
Lin Xiaodong sat in front of the grave, submerged in yellow flowers, talking to himself for a long time.
In the evening, just after the sun went down, Luzhu came to find Lin Xiaodong, stood in the yard and shouted: "Brother Lin?
Come to my house for dinner!”
Lin Xiaodong came out and waved his hand: "No, no, I can just eat some by myself."
"Come here! My mother has made a big table. It's all ready. If you don't come, the three of us won't be able to eat it!"
Luzhu took Lin Xiaodong's arm and took him back to his home.
The food has been put on the table, and Shi Chong and Xu Suyun cordially entertained them: "Come on, come on, sit down! It's been a long time since I've been back. You're at home alone, so why not come over and have a bite together!"
Halfway through the meal, Shi Chong asked Lin Xiaodong: "Brother, what should we do about Lu Zhu's matter? You said that this young master is always pestering her, so my sister can't stay at home every day and not go out, right?
There is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days!"
Lin Xiaodong understood that this meal was about Luzhu's affairs, and nodded: "Don't worry, I will drive these people away. No one under the eldest son is my opponent. No matter how many people are sent, it will be useless.
Once he understands this truth, he will naturally give up."
"Poor Luzhu, I don't know when I will be able to live a peaceful life."
Xu Suyun shook his head.
Lin Xiaodong curled his lips and sneered: "The eldest son behaves so recklessly, and the eldest elder turns a blind eye?
I think the father and son are like grasshoppers after the autumn, and they can’t live for a few more days.”
“You don’t have to be afraid when I’m at home, you can go out and do whatever you need to do.
Knowing that I'm back, these grandsons probably won't dare to take action."
Lin Xiaodong said to Lu Zhu again.
Lv Zhu bit her chopsticks, smiled and nodded.
After dinner, Lin Xiaodong returned home and continued to practice without sleeping.
The treasure Lin Xiaodong took out from the Deep Sea Dragon Palace still had twenty-eight golden pearls and a golden pagoda that had not been refined. He had already had an idea to refine a shocking weapon, but the twenty-eight pearls plus the
Going up to the Golden Pagoda is equivalent to refining twenty-nine treasures, which is a huge project.
In the next few days, Lin Xiaodong practiced Qigong every day and stayed behind closed doors. Luzhu bought food, cooked and did housework as usual, and fished and sold fish with Shi Chong. The eldest son never showed up again.
That night, Lin Xiaodong practiced Kung Fu all day and was walking in the yard. He met Lu Zhu who was returning from shopping for groceries. He walked up to him and asked, "The eldest son's people haven't come to see you again?"
"No!"
Luzhu shook his head while holding the vegetable basket.
