Not long after, the old woman finished the meal, took a bowl out of the pot, put some in a broken bowl with a hole missing, and handed it to Lu Yun tremblingly.
"The guest can just eat a little to fill his stomach."
"Thank you, old man."
Lu Yun took it with both hands. The rice inside was all old rice, sparsely mixed with a few wild vegetables. He looked at the bowl in the old woman's hand, but there was no wild vegetables at all.
well……
He sighed deeply in his heart.
Huh?
Just when he was about to take a casual bite to prevent the old man's thoughts from going to waste, he suddenly saw what seemed to be a very vague word on the bottom of the bowl.
Considering that Lanxiang came from Donghe Township, Lu Yun vaguely recognized the handwriting.
Chu!
Sure enough, this place is really related to Jinming Palace.
Lu Yun took a sip of the soup, and a bitter taste went straight to his heart. It was quite difficult for him to swallow it after he was used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas with Concubine Wu in Yuexin Palace.
He smiled.
The ancients said: It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
After only a few good days, he forgot about the time he spent in the prison yard.
"Guest, if there is not enough left in the pot, you can add more." The old woman reminded him, fearing that he would not be full.
"Well, thank you."
A sincere smile appeared on Lu Yun's face.
"Old man, I would like to ask why there are so few people in Donghe Township and where have they gone?"
Hearing this, the old man stopped drinking porridge.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard the sound of horses braying outside.
law……
Why are there horse teams here?
"There are still several families here in Donghe Township. If you don't leave here, you are very persistent!"
"I wonder if I can find something more?"
"Haha, it's hard for us to see!"
"Whatever, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you can't go back empty-handed. The refining of the Tianbao Golden Toad is coming to an end!"
Tianbao Golden Toad?!
He is from the third prince!
What are they doing here?
Moreover, Lu Yun heard their voices, and it seemed that there was an acquaintance among them.
"Captain Zhou, why don't we start from this place first?"
"Yeah, that's fine."
Zhou Zongsuo!
Humph, it’s true that enemies are on a narrow road!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
There was a rough knock on the door, and the old man quickly put down his rice bowl, struggled to stand up, and said as he walked: "Coming, coming!"
Bang!
Before the old woman could get closer, the door was kicked open, and a white-faced, beardless man in casual clothes stepped forward and grabbed the old woman's collar.
"Even if you are blind, are your ears deaf?"
The old woman's neck was tilted upward and her toes were on the ground. She was obviously uncomfortable, but despite this, she still smiled and said: "My lord, I am old and my hands and feet are not that agile. I have neglected you. Don't you remember?"
If you are a villain, please bear with me, please bear with me!"
Lu Yun put down the bowl, stood up, and said with a smile: "Old man, thank you for your hospitality."
Um?
The factory worker only now realized that there was another person in the room, and he didn't even notice it just now.
"What's going on? Maybe our eyes are also blind."
He rubbed his eyes and saw that he was right, there was indeed a strange man in a cloak here.
"Isn't that really strange?"
He muttered something in a low voice, immediately let go of the old woman's collar, and strode towards Lu Yun.
"Who are you? You are a mysterious person. You are a government official. Lift your hood immediately." After saying that, the factory worker started to lift it directly.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing Lu Yun clamping his fingers between two fingers, he was shocked and at the same time, he could not help but feel a sense of fear.
Bang!
As the bones were broken, heart-rending screams were heard.
"Ah, my hand! My hand!"
The screams attracted the attention of people outside, and a group of people rushed in. Zhou Zongsuo pushed aside the crowd and stood at the front.
"Who hurt you...it was you!"
When Zhou Zongsuo first came in, he also ignored Lu Yun due to the effect of the witch's cloak. Only after being identified by the factory worker did he find out.
"Witch's cloak?"
As the captain of Xichang, he naturally recognized this item in Xichang's treasure house, so he naturally also figured out the identity of the person in front of him.
"Lu Yun, it's you!"
It can be said that enemies are extremely jealous when they meet!
Not to mention the humiliation he suffered before Yuexin Palace, the fact that Lu Yun took Wu Guihua's head made Zhou Zongsuo particularly unhappy.
He has always regarded Wuguihua as his own!
That failed escape was just a result of insufficient preparation.
"Why are you here?" Zhou Zongsuo asked warily.
He didn't want the secrets here to be spread, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain it to the third prince.
Lu Yun saw the killing intent in his eyes and sighed helplessly.
No way.
The tree wants to be still but the wind doesn’t stop!
Thinking of this, he opened the skylight and spoke frankly.
"Who are the villagers here from King Chu? Descendants? Slaves?" Lu Yun said seemingly casually.
But this was a bolt from the blue that fell on Zhou Zongsuo's ears.
"Son..."
At this time, the old woman on the side spoke.
Although her eyesight is not very good, her hearing is still fine.
"Let's go, don't stay any longer. You don't want to be buried with an old woman like me! King of Chu? I didn't expect that anyone still remembers that most of the villagers in Donghe Township are descendants of the King of Chu."
"Some time ago, these people came here and asked us to hand over all the gold and silver treasures, otherwise we would kill people. People here can walk away and die. Now the only ones left are old guys like us with inconvenient legs and feet.
Already."
The old woman spoke eloquently, with an expression that looked like she had seen through the world of mortals.
"You are the third prince's son. Why does the third prince want to embarrass these people?" Lu Yun asked.
"You don't need to understand this!"
Zhou Zongsuo understood that the matter had been leaked out, and the only solution for now was to eliminate Lu Yun. With so many people coming, they should be able to kill him even if they piled up many lives.
"Oh, why bother?" Lu Yun sighed.
The next moment.
"Five Elements Killing Fist, Drilling Fist!"
The cloak was raised, and the cold words spread to everyone's ears. Lu Yun stepped forward like a ghost, and instantly passed Zhou Zongsuo and came in front of everyone.
The blood surges and the fists roar!
"ah!!!"
"Captain Lu, spare your life!"
"The little one doesn't dare anymore!"
Accompanied by bursts of screams, blood splattered and corpses scattered everywhere, there was no longer a living person behind Zhou Zongsuo.
"Next, it's your turn."
Lu Yun pulled out the king-killing sword and pointed it directly at Zhou Zongsuo.
The witch's cloak stained with blood is like a smooth mirror, and the blood flows continuously along the curve to the ground in the shape of droplets.
"You are so bold! Do you really think that Concubine Wu can protect you if you offend the Third Prince?"
Zhou Zongsuo turned around slowly, with an unusually sinister expression on his face.
