Yu Zhengchao's face changed greatly, and he turned around to look. It was a strange man wearing protective clothing who had sneaked into his ancestor's room at some point. Without saying a word, he hugged his ancestor who was still sick in bed.
, got out of the side window.
"Quick, catch up and catch him." Yu Zhengchao screamed.
The guard leader, who had the strength to break through half a step, had already led some of his guards to catch up, and Yu Zhengchao also followed them.
The guards outside the North Courtyard also noticed the scene here and surrounded them from all directions. The thief was surprisingly fast, but he was still surrounded by the Yu family's guards. They had no choice but to directly guard the ancestors of the Yu family in one direction.
While the guards were frightened and scrambling to pick up the ancestor, the thief rushed out of the encirclement and disappeared in a flash.
A guard had just caught the unconscious ancestor, and Yu Zhengchao came to him and shouted: "Give me your ancestor."
The guard was Yu Zhongcheng's confidant, so he hesitated, but the guard leader beside Yu Zhengchao put the knife on his neck. The guard's face changed, and he obediently handed over to Yu Zhengchao's ancestor.
Yu Zhengchao.
Surrounded by a group of guards he brought from the capital, Yu Zhengchao walked back to his ancestor's room. But after taking a few steps, he felt something on his ancestor's buttocks in his arms. He was shocked and couldn't move.
He returned to the ancestor's room in a seductive tone, and asked someone to close the doors and windows first, then reached in and pulled out a booklet made of some kind of animal skin from the ancestor's buttocks.
"It's the Longevity Scripture!" After Yu Zhengchao read the four words written on the animal skin booklet, he was immediately ecstatic. He opened it and read part of the content, thought about it carefully, and then checked the skin.
At this time, he felt that this was the "Sutra of Longevity". Suppressing his heart, he was ecstatic, and he carefully held the "Sutra of Longevity" in his arms.
"When the old man wakes up, he will definitely ask about it, and everyone in this ancestral house will listen to the old man and the third uncle. After repelling the thieves, the place will be controlled by the third uncle's people again. If they take it by force"
Longevity Scripture"..."
Thinking of this, a ruthless look flashed in Yu Zhengchao's eyes, and he raised his right hand to cover his ancestor's mouth and nose...
The city guards of Xianyang City rushed towards the Yu family's ancestral home. Seeing that the situation was not good, the three groups of thieves retreated one by one under the cover of night.
At dawn, the officials in Xianyang City lazily opened the gates, and the city was open to traffic again.
As the gate was opened, the rumors quickly spread like a plague, spreading throughout the city in a short period of time.
The thieves who attacked the Yu family last night were more powerful than before. They once killed the ancestor of the Yu family in the north courtyard and kidnapped him. The ancestor of the Yu family, who was already seriously ill, was so frightened that he finally died.
This rumor came from the ancestral home of the Yu family, but not long after, rumors spread from somewhere that the ancestor of the Yu family passed the "Longevity Scripture" to the eldest son of the current head of the Yu family before his death.
Yu Zhengchao.
"Where is your young master! Let him come out to see me." After Yu Zhongcheng, who was busy with funeral arrangements, heard the news, his face changed drastically. He couldn't care about other things and hurried to the south courtyard where Yu Zhengchao lived. As soon as he entered the door, he
yelled.
"Third Master, the eldest son rushed to the capital with his three hundred guards as soon as the city gates opened at dawn." The steward guarding the south courtyard said cautiously.
"What, he's gone..." Yu Zhongcheng's expression changed drastically again, and then when he thought that the news had spread, his expression became extremely ugly.
"This idiot, come on, please quickly call the two old priests in the mansion and ask them to bring five hundred guards to chase the eldest son. You must bring them here for me. If nothing can be done, escort them to the capital first." Yu Zhong.
Cheng has never suspected that his ancestor's death was related to Yu Zhengchao, but this kind of treasonous behavior is really unbelievable. After all, a thief hijacked his ancestor last night, and many people saw it, so
He still believed that after his ancestor died of fright, Yu Zhengchao found the "Longevity Scripture" from his body. Of course he also wanted the "Longevity Scripture", but now it has fallen into the hands of Yu Zhengchao, and for the Yu family
Considering the overall situation, we had to protect Yu Zhengchao's smooth return to the capital first.
…
…
The "Longevity Scripture" finally has traces. The undercurrent that has been surging for more than a month is destined to explode today. Countless dead soldiers, masters and powerful figures are chasing Yu Zhengchao and his party.
Since ancient times, Chinese people like to watch the excitement, and watching the excitement is never too big a deal. The Yu family has been having incidents one after another for more than a month, which suits the taste of the people watching the excitement. It is fresh, magical, exciting, and deadly, which completely satisfies the excitement.
all elements of .
Throughout the morning, with Xianyang City as the center, officials, nobles, merchants, traders, and ordinary people were all whispering and talking. After exaggerating and processing what happened at the Yu family last night, it became more and more mysterious, especially
It is about the process of the "Longevity Scripture" being obtained by Yu Zhengchao, the grand duke of the Yu family. It is not known who exposed it, and a magical turning point occurred. The ancestor of the Yu family was frightened to death by an assassin. It was changed to the fact that the ancestor of the Yu family was unwilling to "
The "Sutra of Longevity" was handed over to Yu Zhengchao, who took the opportunity to suffocate his ancestor to death and then found the "Sutra of Longevity" from his body.
I don’t know who the source of the news is, but everyone who talks about this matter speaks with a clear nose and eyes, as if they have seen it personally.
Someone with good intentions even swore to heaven that they saw the eldest son of the Yu family rushing out of the east city gate in a panic early in the morning with a group of guards. One look at his expression and he knew that he was a thief with a guilty conscience...
As the saying goes, when everyone spreads a story, no matter whether the story is true or false, there is no difference in the impact on the person involved. At this time, under the protection of the guards, the horse galloped wildly.
Yu Zhengchao didn't know it yet, but he was already notorious and destined to be a tragedy.
The journey from Xianyang to the capital is less than eighty miles. If a good horse is used to travel, and regardless of the loss of horsepower, it can be reached in an hour. But even this less than eighty miles is a dangerous journey.
After running about twenty miles out of Xianyang, Yu Zhengchao and his party were stopped by a group of men in black when they passed through a forest...
…

"Shen Guang, thank you for your hard work. Don't rush to talk about business first. Let's eat two bites of the food first. Today is Xiaoyu's first time cooking. The taste is so delicious." In the capital, in the Qin'an Hou Mansion, Wang Junlin raised his head and glanced at Fengchenbusu.
Shen Guang walked in, waved his hand to interrupt the other party's salute, and invited him to the table with a smile.
