Chapter 247 Suspicion Resurrection, Going to the Ghost Covenant (Two in One)
Luo Li hadn't seen Su Xian for almost two years. Seeing Su Xian now was like seeing a relative.
Su Xian was also very happy.
Meeting an old friend in a foreign country is one of the great joys in life.
When the two talked about their experiences in the past two years, they were not very sad.
Luo Li ordered a sumptuous meal, and the two old friends chatted while eating.
"What a coincidence, I lived next door before." Su Xian said with a smile, "Unexpectedly, we didn't meet each other!"
"Ah? Next door?" Luo Li's little face was a little cute, "That's not Tang Yue... He came to meet you?"
Su Xian nodded, "He is giving money to our rebel army. I have joined the rebel army..."
Only then did Luo Li understand why Tang Ke was so greedy for money and even blackmailed him several times.
It turned out that they were secretly colluding with the rebels to raise money for the rebels.
This person has been hiding it even from the elders of the Tang family. He is really cunning.
"Hmph, Third Brother Su, that Tang Ke is not a good guy. He blackmailed me several times..." Luo Li gritted his teeth and said, "Third Brother is going to vent his anger on me!"
Su Xian laughed, "So you were bullied! Well, he took 100,000 taels of gold from you, and I will pay you back 200,000 for him!"
After saying that, he took out 200,000 gold and said, "Here! Double it!"
He took out a bunch of life-saving magic weapons and said, "This is for you!"
"Ah this..." Luo Li suddenly showed joy, "Brother Su San, this is your money, how do you make it..."
Even though she said this, she still stretched out her little hand.
"Well, I'm not a stingy person. For the sake of Brother Su San, I won't argue with Tang Ke. After all, he is still my cousin."
"Niang is from the Tang family?" Su Xian was a little surprised.
Luo Li nodded, "She is from the Tang family, I am not."
Su Xian knew it well and didn't ask any more questions.
He told Luo Li that Su Chuo would be back soon and asked her not to worry.
At the end, Su Xian said: "Li'er, when you return to Longcuo City, tell your elder brother that I will go and meet him next autumn at the latest."
"I will not stay in the Chuangong Shogunate forever. I am still a member of the Luo family."
He took out a letter and said, "This is a letter for him. Give it to your elder brother personally."
After finishing the meal, Su Xian stood up and said, "Li'er, I have some important things to do, so I can't accompany you and Chuo'er. Please be careful along the way."
"If things go wrong on the road, call the rebels and tell me my name."
Luo Li also stood up and walked Su Xian to the door, "Brother Su, walk slowly!"
It only took half an hour from Su Xian's appearance to his departure. Obviously, he was really in a hurry.
Luo Li got two hundred thousand taels of gold and some magic weapons. He couldn't help but smile, and he couldn't help but drink a few more drinks.
"Bing'er, I saw Brother Su San today and made another profit."
The girl's pretty face was full of smiles, and she was stroking the ice snake as thick as her finger.
This ice snake is highly venomous and is a seventh-grade demonic snake, but it is extremely docile in her hands.
It was wrapped around the girl Hao's wrist, and spit out the snake's message "hissingly" at the girl's pink face, making Luo Li smile.
"Giggle! Cai!"
………
Su Chuo from the Su Mansion was also ready to leave.
Su Yu told the head of the family that Chuo'er had something to do.
This just gave Su Chuo a perfect excuse.
No one in the Su family thought that Su Chuo would never return sincerely. Once she left, it would be unknown how long it would take for her to come back.
But before Su Chuo left, he met a woman.
This woman is beautiful and dignified, with a sweet smile and outstanding grace. At first glance, she makes people feel good.
But Su Chuo knew that this woman named Cai Quan'er was a person who tended to follow people's influence and change her mind when she saw something different.
This is the kind of person she despises the most.
Thinking that this woman had hurt the Luo family brother, she felt even more disgusted.
"Miss Eleven." Cai Quan'er said with a smile, "I am Cai Quan'er. Congratulations to Lady Eleven on recognizing your ancestor."
Although Su Chuo didn't like Cai Quan'er's closeness in his heart, his expression didn't show anything at all. He nodded and smiled like a master:
"It turns out to be the Seventh Madam. Is the Seventh Madam still used to living here?"
Cai Quan'er flipped her hair lightly and smiled sweetly, "I really feel at home in your mansion. I feel so happy that I don't miss home anymore."
"Especially the Phoenix Bookstore in your mansion is so vast. It has several times more books than the Wenchangbo Mansion. I am really envious of it."
Su Chuo said calmly: "Since the Seventh Madam likes it, you can stay a little longer. You are a distinguished guest of the Su family, and you can borrow many books."
I thought to myself: "You like books so much? I don't believe it."
Su Chuo looked at Cai Quan'er's appearance, and suddenly his heart moved.
I couldn't help but think of a seemingly simple question.
She had never met Cai Ji, but Cai Ji was able to become a doctor in the Ministry of Civil Affairs Examination Department in just two years. He was definitely an extraordinary person.
The demeanor must be outstanding.
His sister Cai Quan'er is also a stunning beauty, and she doesn't look like a village girl at all.
The Luo brothers and Luo Li are even more outstanding.
But these four people actually all come from a small place: Maple Leaf Village!
Also, Xiaohei, whom the Luo family brother mentioned, also comes from Maple Leaf Village.
Isn’t this small village a little different?
"Where is the seventh lady from?" Su Chuo couldn't help but ask.
She felt that the Cai brothers and sisters must have some background.
Cai Quan'er sighed slightly and said:
"I am originally from Luoyang. Back then, my parents escaped pursuit and came to Yizhou. They settled in a village in Ba County and gave birth to our brother and sister."
"My parents died when I was very young, so we lived in Ba County. As for our ancestral home in Luoyang, we don't know anything about it."
Like Tang Wan in Luo'an, he is also an outsider? Hearing this, Su Chuo couldn't help but feel moved again.
Two pairs of immigrants with both origins found Maple Leaf Village?
Su Chuo didn't ask any more questions, exchanged a few perfunctory words with Cai Quan'er, and left the Su Mansion.
Cai Quan'er looked at Su Chuo's graceful and graceful back, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of herself out of jealousy. She murmured:
"Silence is like a lotus without traces of dust; laughter is like light smoke without traces."
"Oh, there is such a pure and innocent woman in the world."
…
When it was time to apply for the license, Su Chuo finally returned to Qingyun Inn.
"sister in law!"
"Li'er!"
Although they were only separated for three days, both parties felt like they had been apart for a long time.
It was only then that Luo Li was sure that he liked his future sister-in-law very much.
Su Chuo was completely cleared by her.
"Li'er, I know you're impatient for waiting." Su Chuo said with an apologetic and gentle smile, "But I've gained a lot from this trip."
"Sister-in-law, Brother Su is here." Luo Li took Su Chuo's hand and sat down.
Unexpectedly, Su Chuo suddenly laughed out loud, very casually.
Her originally graceful and graceful expression suddenly disappeared and became free and uninhibited.
"You're not my sister-in-law!" Luo Li immediately let go of her hand, "You're Lu Pianpian, lie to me! Humph, you're pretending to look like her!"
"Hee!" Lu Pianpian raised her eyebrows with disdain, "Who doesn't know how to act? Speaking of which, I can be considered a member of the Luo family class."
"However, I am not as good at acting as Su Chuo and Su Xian."
"In order to get benefits, the two actually staged a brother-sister feud in the Su family. Wow, they are really actors."
"You don't know, Su Chuo is really good at pretending. Hee."
"Okay." Luo Li was unhappy when he heard her bad words about Su Chuo, and his face drooped.
"Sister Pianran, it's not very good for you to talk about my sister-in-law in front of me, isn't it?"
"Sister, tell the truth!" Lu Pianpian took off her shoes, raised a pair of jade feet that were as good as frost and snow, rolled up her sleeves and started drinking, "You won't let me tell you?"
"Brother and sister Su Xian cheated a lot of money this time at the Su family. Did Su Xian give you money? If not, I won't treat you as one of my own."
Luo Li snorted coldly, "Of course you did! You gave me hundreds of thousands of gold! Huh! Don't provoke us."
"Also, you are a woman, why do you always take off your shoes? Isn't this bad?"
"Taking off your shoes is nothing." Lu Pianpian wriggled her toes, not caring, "What a fuss!"
"You know what's the biggest difference between me and Su Chuo? She's been pretending, hiding her true self. But my sister is her true self."
"Sister is not as lovable as she is, but...sister is really good!"
When Su Chuo heard this, he was too lazy to argue.
Lu Pianpian has always been like this, I really can't be serious with this person.
Otherwise, you will be angry to death sooner or later.
Luo Li sat down, supported his small face with his hands, tilted his head and looked at Lu Pianpian, his eyes lacking respect.
"I said Master Lu, after you finish drinking, can you let my sister-in-law come out? I want to talk to her."
"You don't like my sister? Are you driving me away?" Lu Pianpian smiled sarcastically, touched Luo Li's bun, and scolded with a smile:
"You're a heartless little girl, just like your brother! Without me, you and Su Chuo would have died a long time ago."
"Sister-in-law is long, sister-in-law is short. Hee, at the critical moment, don't you have to rely on sister?"
While talking, he drank the spirit wine in big gulps, feeling very happy.
He also chanted loudly:
"When a hero is tired and drunk, no one in the world knows my heart. The world of mortals is light, and laughing and cursing the rivers and lakes becomes poetry."
“Good wine, good wine!”
She was half drunk and in a crazy state, which contrasted with her world-class grace and picturesque face, showing an almost enchanting beauty.
It is like a proud and independent colorful flower tree, which is touching.
She is rich, and the spiritual wine she drinks is very high-end.
Luo Li looked at Lu Pianpian, who was addicted to alcohol, and curled his mouth with disdain.
Alcoholic lunatic, drink you to death.
But she also had to admit that the way Lu Pianpian drank was not annoying at all, but looked very pleasing to the eye.
He and his sister-in-law obviously have the same face, but they show different charms.
Lu Pianpian put down the wine bottle, wiped the wine stains around her mouth with her sleeve, shook her snow-white feet in a drunken state, and said:
"Muxian Ling has escaped from trouble. She asked me to meet outside the city tonight and said that we would give you a gift as a reward."
"Su Chuo is as timid as a mouse, fearing that it was a trap, so...she had no choice but to ask my sister to take action and let her go to the appointment."
"Since she was afraid, she could have not gone. After all, the blood oath has been broken. But she was reluctant to part with the thank-you gift from Mu Xian Ling."
When Su Chuo heard this, he couldn't help but said angrily:
"Lu Pianpian! What maggots are you chewing! I'm as timid as a mouse? In front of Li'er, can you please stop arranging me like this!"
Lu Pianpian ignored him, but said to Luo Li:
"She was anxious, she was anxious. She scolded me in her heart, saying that I should not have exposed her and ruined the impression she gave you."
Su Chuo: "..."
Luo Li shook his head, "I don't understand. How come you, a former great leader, speak like an ignorant child? Have you really been a leader?"
"Are you jealous of her being my sister-in-law by so clumsily trying to sow discord?"
"My beautiful lady...forget it. Actually, if you say these things, you might as well give me money."
"Pfft--" Lu Pianpian couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of wine, choking hard, and the wine was coming out of her nose.
"You...ahem..."
The girl from the Lu family coughed violently, patted her impressive chest, and stared into her drunken starry eyes with a look of resentment on her face.
Why is this little girl talking so irritatingly?
Money, money, money! At such a young age, what do you want to do with so much money!
Su Chuo secretly said: "Let's get down to business. Lu Pianpian, ask Li'er about the Cai family brothers and sisters."
Lu Pianpian is an adult after all, how could she really get entangled with Luo Li? She coughed a few times, looked more upright, and even retracted her legs.
"Okay Li'er, I was just teasing you. Children are children, so I can't help teasing you. Hee."
"Let's get down to business. I met Cai Quan'er today..."
When Luo Li heard the name, he immediately clenched his fists.
The two women she hates the most, besides Xue Bingyu, are Cai Quaner!
"My brother and I grew up with the Cai brothers and sisters, but we don't know much about their life experiences."
Luo Li said.
"They are immigrants just like us. Because both families are immigrants, we have a good relationship."
"But their parents died very early. They must have been killed by someone."
"In short, their parents died very strangely. At that time, Cai Ji was less than five years old, and I was not even born."
"I only know that the Cai family is not from Yizhou. Like the Luo family, they are both from Luoyang."
"What?" Lu Pianpian was a little surprised, "The Luo family is also from Luoyang, not Yizhou?"
Luo Li nodded, "Yes! I once heard Brother A and Cai Ji say that our ancestors were all from Luoyang..."
Lu Pianpian couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
The Luo family is from Luoyang, and the Cai family is also from Luoyang.
They all settled down in Maple Leaf Village.
What a coincidence.
Lu Pianpian said without asking for more valuable information:
"We'll check out today. I'll go see Mu Xianling in the evening. You wait for me at Huifeng Ferry..."
She talks carelessly, but when she gets down to business, she is very reliable.
The two discussed it for a while, then saw the sun setting in the west, then left the guest room and left the Qingyun Inn together.
After passing through the huge and prosperous Jinguan City, the two of them exited the west gate and acted separately.
An hour later, it was already dark.
Lu Pianpian finally saw a huge temple, overlooking the forest sea on the vast mountains.
This is the world-famous Wuhou Temple!
There are still a lot of people walking on the mountain road entering Wuhou Temple. Many people come from other states to worship Zhuge Wuhou.
Lu Pianpian came to the vicinity of Wuhou Temple and faintly heard someone crying in the temple.
She gathered her consciousness and heard someone crying:
"There is no prime minister in the world, and eternity is like a dark night! Wuhou, Wuhou, if you are still a god, look at what this world has become!"
Someone else cried: "Daxia has unified the country for two thousand years, but the country has no wise king and no wise ministers! I am afraid that the country's destruction is just around the corner!"
Lu Pianpian shook her head lightly and let go.
Everyone knows that people often come to Wuhou Temple to cry.
Especially in recent years, the number of people crying in the temple has increased dramatically. Many people have traveled thousands of miles to come to Wuhou Temple just to cry.
These are people who are sad and worried. Most of them have some talents and ideals and ambitions. They are not mediocre and idle people.
Lu Pianpian was about to leave when she suddenly heard a voice saying:
"Everyone who comes here to cry at the temple to worship Wuhou and worry about the world is a man of benevolence and lofty ideals! Lord Zhou Mu admires him so much that he has asked me to wait here. Please go to the Zhou Mu Mansion to talk to him!"
"Lord Zhou Mu wholeheartedly imitates the example of Marquis Wu, works hard to improve himself, helps the world and the people, and is thirsty for talents. He is the same as all of you!"
"Fellow Taoists, please!"
Then someone said: "As soon as I entered Yizhou, I heard about the name of Luozhou Shepherd. Now it seems that Luozhou Shepherd has a virtuous heart! Everyone, let's go together!"
Soon, the people in the Wuhou Temple and the Weeping Temple left with the people from the Luo'an faction and went to the Zhou Mufu in the city.
Lu Pianpian saw this scene with her own eyes and couldn't help but secretly thought: "Luo Jishi's move is really powerful!"
He actually used Wuhou Temple to attract unsuccessful talents from all over the world!
It is estimated that many monks from other places who came to this crying temple have taken refuge in Luo Jishi.
Since these people come to the Wuhou Temple to cry, they are almost all loyal and kind-hearted people.
Once such a person recognizes Luo An as his master, he will not betray him easily. Moreover, most of them are not incompetent.
Luo An is simply using Wuhou's reputation to harvest talents.
The majestic Wuhou Temple became an excellent place for him to wait and win over talents.
It can be seen from this that Luo Jishi's Prefectural Mufu must be full of talents at this time.
"Lu Pianpian." Su Chuo's voice sounded, "Luo An's ambition is probably not just to separate Yizhou. This person has great plans."
Lu Pianpian nodded, "Maybe he wants to fight for the world, or it may be more complicated than fighting for the world. We must act with my master as soon as possible to get rid of him as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, we have no hope of taking Yizhou."
Even Lu Pianpian, who had been the leader of the True Sacrifice Cult and had a higher eye than anyone else, also felt that Luo An was a strong enemy.
"This person stayed in Maple Leaf Village with Tang Wan for ten years. In addition to wanting to return to the Tang family to plot the Nine Poisons Manual, there must be other reasons."
Lu Pianpian said.
"It's absolutely impossible for him to stay in Maple Leaf Village for ten years just for the chance to return to the Tang family!"
Su Chuo suddenly remembered something, "I heard that there was an auspicious event in Maple Leaf Village, which was attributed to Cai Ji. But it must have nothing to do with Cai Ji."
"Both the Luo family and the Cai family come from distant Luoyang, but they both chose Maple Leaf Village to settle down."
"Could there be any secrets in Maple Leaf Village? How did the Cai family's parents die?"
Lu Pianpian said: "That's probably it. Why did Luo An choose Maple Leaf Village? When he 'eloped' with Tang Wan, shouldn't he have chosen something near Shu County?"
"He played the role of a poor scholar in Maple Leaf Village for ten years. During this period, he only left a few times, but he came back soon."
"In addition, my master knew that the elopement plan would not work, but he still spent ten years with Luo An. Isn't it a bit silly? This is not in line with Luo An's style, nor is it in line with my master's style."
"Unless there is a reason behind the elopement to Maple Leaf Village that we don't know."
Su Chuo said: "At the beginning, I knew that your master Tang Yaoshi's words were a bit untrue. You and he are masters and disciples, but it is not as clear as an outsider like me."
"About the elopement, it's definitely not as simple as he said. He should be hiding something."
"Perhaps Maple Leaf Village has some secrets?"
Lu Pianpian thought for a while, "On the way back to Xifan, we will pass through Ba County. Then we will go to Maple Leaf Village to check for clues."
"Luo Li is from Maple Leaf Village, let her take us there."
"Let's go see Mu Xianling first."
Lu Pianpian walked in the dense forest for half an hour before she found Songming Valley.
As soon as she entered Songming Valley, she sensed the eerie and powerful ghost energy.
"Sister Mujia, I'm Su Chuo, and I'm here to keep an appointment."
As soon as Lu Pianpian finished speaking, a terrifying ghost appeared under the ancient pine.
"Su Chuo, thank you."
The big ghost said quietly, its voice was like the autumn wind blowing dry bones, which was creepy.
"Do you know what gift I will give you?"
PS: What gift will the big ghost give? Is there really a secret in Maple Leaf Village? How did Cai Ji’s parents die?
