Wu Jin was shocked to realize something was wrong when the fireworks fell.
His hair stood on end, and he felt the carriage beside him suddenly move. He lurched forward, and the horses, people, and carriages all moved together, as if they had anticipated the danger in advance.
Before the eldest brother of the Cheng family could react, he stretched out his hands and pushed the eldest brother of the Cheng family out. At the same time, he threw himself forward and rolled to one side.
At the same time, the tall fireworks stand fell down with a "bang", and a heavy wind sounded in Wu Jin's ears. He subconsciously looked sideways and saw the top of the stand falling against his shoulder.
There was a loud "bang", and the goods, baskets, and gambling money placed below were smashed to pieces.
He broke out in a cold sweat. While he was frightened, he also saw the thickness of the fireworks stand - a child couldn't push this stand down, and this fireworks stand came specially to kill him.
Liu Boyu!
His mind suddenly became clear, and he grabbed the eldest brother of the Cheng family without saying a word. When he saw Cheng Ting sticking his head out of the carriage in front of him to look, he ran over without saying a word and caught up with the carriage.
The driver looked familiar, but Wu Jin couldn't remember who it was for a while. When he saw the carriage slowing down, he quickly pushed the eldest brother of the Cheng family to climb up, and then boarded the carriage in one go.
Before the crowd could recover from the shock of the collapse of the fireworks stand, the coachman took advantage of the chaos, raised his whip, and made a crisp "snap" sound, turning the carriage into a loach, stepping on the gambling money all over the ground.
And go.
The empty carriage was filled with two younger brothers first, and then two older brothers, and it suddenly became crowded.
Wu Yi's mouth was finally free, but Wu Jin was here and no one needed to "shush" him. He consciously kept silent and said nothing.
The eldest brother of the Cheng family survived the disaster. He also knew that if the fireworks fell down, he would lose his arms and legs at least. After realizing it, his heart beat wildly. He thanked Wu Jin again and again, and at the same time wiped off the stains on his hands.
A drop of blood.
He grabbed Cheng Ting's ears and prevented him from escaping again, and wanted to take him back to rectify the Fa.
Cheng Ting's ears turned red from being pinched, and he screamed in pain repeatedly, calling Wu Jin for help. Seeing that Wu Jin was here, the eldest brother of the Cheng family felt inconvenient to discipline his younger brother, so he let go of his hand.
"Wu Jin," Cheng Ting quickly squeezed Wu Yi away and sat next to Wu Jin, "Did you let the fireworks hit you?"
He saw that Wu Jin looked unhappy and his clothes were stained with black and yellow marks everywhere, so he was worried that he was injured.
Wu Jin shook his head, gritted his teeth and swallowed his fear. He wanted to reach out to wipe away the sweat, but found that his hand was trembling in his sleeve. He could only let the sweat flow, thinking that if Liu Boyu missed this hit, he would not strike again.
He calmed down: "Whose carriage is this?"
The four of them looked at each other. Cheng Ting reached out to lift the curtain at the same time to see where the carriage was going. When he saw it, he took a breath of cold air - the carriage was already heading towards Mo Mansion.
No wonder he thought the coachman looked familiar!
He retracted his head, his face full of anxiety: "Brother, are you going to pay New Year's greetings to my uncle? This carriage seems to belong to my uncle."
At the mention of Mo Qianlan, Brother Cheng, who was full of courage, couldn't help but feel his scalp numb, but he came...
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I passed Mo Qianlan's house without entering, and made people gossip for no reason, which was not good for my uncle or the Cheng family.
He pondered and looked at the huge noodle snake in Cheng Ting's arms: "Go and tell him that you personally made a noodle snake for him and brought it to him."
"Ah?" Cheng Ting touched the hard-faced snake, "Uncle won't hit me with it, right?"
"Deserved it."
"Brother, how do you think my uncle spent the Chinese New Year?"
"How else can I live with that lonely, widowed and lame gentleman of yours?"
"There is also a dog," Cheng Ting did not forget the big yellow dog, "It's miserable."
Wu Yi sat in the corner with confusion on his face, not understanding why Jiedushi was in such misery.
The carriage shook again, and this time it stopped firmly, stopping just outside the corner door. The coachman jumped out of the carriage, put down the horse stool, and asked the four uninvited guests to get off the carriage.
The eldest brother of the Cheng family jumped out of the carriage first, grabbing Cheng Ting, and then Wu Jin and Wu Yi also got off the carriage.
"Wu Jin," Cheng Ting looked at Wu Jin with a tragic and heroic expression, "I'm leaving."
Wu Jin took a step forward: "I'll go too."
As his legs moved, a voice sounded from the bottom of his heart, deafening: "Throw yourself into a trap!"
But his legs still moved forward involuntarily. He thought: "In this game of chess, it's the emperor's turn to lose. How will the emperor act? Is the Leaf safe?"
Cheng Ting's eyes widened: "Aren't you following my uncle..."
He turned to look at his elder brother, swallowed the word "break", and then suddenly realized: "You are worried..."
Looking at the eldest brother of the Cheng family again, he swallowed the word "Leifeng".
The eldest brother of the Cheng family was confused when he heard this. He didn't know what kind of riddle he was playing. He wished he could put Cheng Ting's head in his head and shake out the contents.
Wu Jin turned to Wu Yi and said, "Go back first."
Wu Yi gave up on asking for help, nodded in resignation, and walked home with almost desperate steps.
Wu Jin watched Wu Yi leave, her mind buzzing, and her rationality seemed to have the upper hand, and she kept shouting in his ears: "You go back too!"
The owner of the mansion is not a weak Jiedushi, but a Shura who eats people without spitting out bones. It is best for him to escape cleanly and completely!
Reason is like this, but the heart still can't help it. In the conflict between the two, reason has no chance of winning.
Cheng Ting carried the noodle snake, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and went to knock on the door.
The servants who were on duty hurriedly came out to open the door and saw a few familiar faces who were frequent visitors to Mo Mansion. While inviting them in, they asked someone to report to Mo Qianlan quickly.
The three of them walked along the garden. From the garden to Jiusixuan, everything was silent. It was a withered and withered scene. It was no longer as vibrant as before. When they walked to Jiusixuan, the old trees had fallen off their leaves, leaving only their branches.
, baring his teeth and waving his claws, that sneaky look in the darkness, which gave him his appearance, and he kept poking his head towards the passers-by.
It was not popular, and the big yellow dog did not stay here and settled in the kitchen again.
When they passed Jiusixuan, the servant who went to report came back and led them to the second hall.
The second hall of Mo Mansion was spacious and warm, and was the place to meet foreign guests. The three of them followed the servants into the courtyard gate, and when they looked up, they saw Yin Bei coming out of the main hall.
When Yin Bei saw the three of them entering the door, he quickly walked down the stone steps and stepped forward to greet them. When he saw the three of them again, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Hey, where did you three tabby cats get out of here?
"
The three of them had just come from the street, their clothes were dirty, and their appearance was really worrying.
"Go to the flower hall to wash up first. The Jiedu Envoy will be here soon." He led the three of them to the flower hall and ordered someone to bring hot water and bath beans. "When you have finished packing, go to the main hall."
He patted Cheng Ting on the shoulder: "Prefect Cheng is here too. You three, father and son, are going out. Why are you leaving separately? Why don't you come together?"
Cheng Ting looked at Yin Bei in disbelief: "Is my father here?"
"Yes, those who came with Wang Zhizhou paid homage to Zhengdan to the Jiedu Envoy."
Cheng Tingru was faced with a formidable enemy: "Didn't he submit his invitation early in the morning and say he wouldn't come in person?"
Yin Bei smiled and said: "Perhaps I want to make a military governor."
Cheng Ting suddenly frowned and thought: "I've thrown myself into a trap."
