Chapter 18 - Steep Mutation(1/2)
Chapter 18 A sudden change occurs
"Before I was fourteen years old, my dream was to be admitted to the top university and bring glory to my ancestors. After I was fourteen years old, I saw my mother dying of illness in bed. I understood that my body is my capital, so I gave up literature and martial arts and turned to physical training."
"Miss Fang, don't look at me as a scholar now, but I have indeed read a lot of books."
The old god Luo Yan said calmly.
By the way, he made up a random reason to explain why he sold himself to the Xiao Family Martial Arts School.
As soon as this statement came out.
Everyone showed a look of surprise.
This mighty and powerful Luo Yan's original dream was to take the imperial examination?
It really surprised them.
Fang Rui's eyes brightened slightly, and she became interested: "I didn't expect that Mr. Luo actually read poetry and books. It's true that the real person cannot be judged by appearance. By the way... Can Mr. Luo write poetry?"
"I know a little bit about it."
Upon hearing this, the excitement in Luo Yan's heart suddenly disappeared, and his smile became forced.
Fang Rui revealed the best thing about this.
If Fang Rui really wanted him to write a poem, he could only copy and paste it.
However, whatever you are afraid of will come.
The light in Fang Rui's eyes grew even brighter, and she asked softly: "Young master knows how to write poems, so he must have a collection of poems. Can you read one for the little girl to appreciate?"
"this…"
Luo Yan looked hesitant.
Copying and pasting is ultimately not good. Even if he wins praise from everyone, he will only feel guilty inside.
"Luo Zhuangyuan, just read two poems and listen to them. Now that you have abandoned literature and embraced martial arts, what else is there to hide?"
"That's right, you are the number one scholar in Luo Dynasty! Read a poem to your senior brother to see how good your literary talent is."
"Nephew Luo Xian, my young lady likes poetry very much. If you don't mind, please read one."
Others in the carriage also began to encourage and persuade.
When Luo Yan saw this, he knew that these people would not give up until he recited a word.
I could only smile bitterly and search for poems from my past life in my mind.
He didn't want to win Fang Rui's heart, so he eliminated those poems about the love between children and chose a poem that was in line with his current image and temperament.
That is...
Righteous song!
He sat upright and began to recite:
"The heaven and earth are righteous, and they are mixed and endowed with manifolds. Below are the rivers and mountains, and above are the sun and stars. To people, it is called Haoran..."
Fang Rui and others thought that since Luo Yan was so coquettish, even if he had actually written poetry, his level would definitely be average.
However.
They were greatly shocked by just a few sentences.
Feeling the majestic atmosphere in the poem, it seems that there is a great and righteous energy in my body.
Xiao Quan, Xiao Xueer, Chen Yuanhe, Hu Pengju, and Sun Guanshi all showed admiration.
And Fang Rui's eyes became brighter and brighter, and her admiration was beyond words.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
"No, someone is robbing you!"
The roar coming from outside the carriage interrupted Luo Yan's copying and pasting.
Almost instantly, the expressions of everyone in the car changed drastically, they opened the curtains and rushed out of the carriage.
Luo Yan fell to the ground and looked towards the front of the carriage.
I saw a dozen masked men standing in front of the convoy, with murderous intent on their bodies, locking everyone in the convoy.
"Who are you? Don't you know that this is the goods of our Fang family? Behind our Fang family, standing is the Baoan Xu family and the entire Baoan County Yamen!" A guard roared in front of the motorcade.
He wanted to use the reputation of the Xu family to persuade these masked men to retreat.
However, after listening to his words, although the masked man did not take action, he did not retreat either.
"I know your relationship with the Xu family, that's why I didn't take action directly. Otherwise, you would be a bunch of dead people now." The masked man in the lead glanced around and shouted coldly: "Whoever is in charge, come out and speak.
"
Everyone in the team looked at Manager Sun.
Manager Sun stepped out from the crowd and said with a solemn face: "Your Excellency, you have something to say."
"I'm just talking right now." The leading masked man snorted coldly, glanced at Manager Sun, and said, "As long as Fang Rui is handed over, I can make the decision. I won't kill you, and I won't touch your goods."
If the goods are touched, it means that the Xu family's money is taken.
If you offend the Xu family, the Xu family will definitely investigate with all their strength to ensure their prestige.
But abducted a Fang Rui.
Then only the Fang family will suffer losses, and it is not worth the Xu family's efforts to mobilize troops. Most of the Xu family will ignore it.
This person acts very methodically and rationally!
Hearing this, Fang Rui, who was in the center of the crowd, panicked.
Ahead, Manager Sun's face also changed drastically.
He originally thought that these people were here for money, but he didn't expect that they were here for people.
He can give it for money, and it doesn't matter if he gives up all the goods.
But as a human being.
But he couldn't make friends.
Because he knew that in Fang Yuanwai's heart, Fang Rui's value must far exceed this batch of goods.
If Fang Rui is really handed over, he will definitely pay a price more horrific than death when he returns to Bao'an County.
He took a deep breath and tried to say: "Sir, we can negotiate how much it costs, but Fang Rui is my young lady, the most beloved daughter of my family members. It's really..."
"snort!"
The leading masked man snorted coldly and interrupted Steward Sun's words, causing Steward Sun to stumble and almost fall down.
Its strength is evident!
"Do you think I am discussing with you?"
As these words fell, a bloody smoke suddenly shot out from the top of the masked man's head!
"Blood gas smoke! Blood refining realm?!"
Xiao Quan's expression changed drastically.
On the side, after Luo Yan heard the words "blood refining realm", his heart suddenly tightened and a layer of cold sweat broke out all over his body.
There is a clear hierarchy among warriors.
A warrior with a high realm will basically be crushed against a warrior with a low realm.
If they were in the Skin Refining Realm, they might still be able to escape.
But if they were in the Blood Refining Realm, then they... would be like chasing and killing the four of Hu Yong that day, which was equivalent to cat playing with mouse.
No.
It will be more calm than that.
It's like...killing one person in ten steps and leaving no trace behind in a thousand miles!
Luo Yan wanted to retreat and looked around, thinking about an escape route.
The convoy has been traveling for most of the day.
The place where we are now is a mountain forest with no human habitation.
Except for one trail, there are dense weeds and trees on both sides.
If you run from the trail, you will definitely not be able to escape.
But if you run into the forest, the probability of successful escape should be extremely high given the complexity of the forest.
"Senior Brother, the five of us are going out, are there any protectors following us secretly?" Luo Yan asked Xiao Quan in a low voice before escaping.
He didn't mention it yet.
Xiao Quan and Xiao Xueer are both important figures.
To be continued...
